When Naruto woke up that Saturday morning he felt like he was dead on his feet. He hadn't slept well, kept having the same old dream over and over again and like always he had woken up right before he'd found what he was looking for. The dream was becoming more real every time he had it and when he woke up for the last time that morning he was out of breath, hand reaching out for something he desperately needed but couldn't recognize.
He reluctantly got out of bed, he was tempted to just stay in sick today but decided against it. He had to help out with Iruka's martial arts classes today and knowing Iruka he would storm up the stairs, broken foot and all, if he heard Naruto wasn't feeling well. He knew he'd promised Kiba to talk to Iruka if anything happened after his panic the other day but Iruka had a lot of other stuff on his mind these days and he didn't want to bother him, he was probably just having some after affects that would go away with time. Granted he could talk to Genma about it as well but knowing him he'd force him to tell Iruka about it as well so that was out of the question.
Naruto decided to get a glass of water from the kitchen before he'd do anything else and so he tiredly started walking down stairs not even bothering to pull on a pair of pants over his boxers, it wasn't like Iruka and Genma hadn't seen him wearing even less than that. He walked out of his room, down the hallway and down the stairs, absentmindedly looking at the old photos of his weird family as he descended. He cursed out loud as he nearly tripped over his school bags at the bottom, since it was the weekend and he didn't have to use them today he hadn't put them away the night before. He straightened up and glanced into the living room, waving half heartedly at his brown haired dad and his silver haired companion before he went into the kitchen. Naruto heard Iruka call after him as he walked away but he decided to get the water before he went over to talk to him. He got a glass out of the dishwasher and put it on the counter by the sink as he waited for the water to get cold enough.
As he took the first sip he got this nagging feeling that something was out of place but he couldn't figure out what. He looked around the kitchen tiredly but everything seemed to be just like it always was. He shook his head and put the glass down on the sink next to some silver spoons, apparently Iruka was using his spare time now to polish the silver.
"Silver." He mumbled to himself. Why did that sound so familiar. He stood there for a moment staring at a spoon before it finally hit him.
Naruto ran over to the living room and, pointing an accusing finger at the man, half yelled. "What the hell are you doing here! I swear to god you are stalking me aren't you."
Kakashi only grinned but Iruka didn't seem to find the situation as comical. "Naruto!" He started but the blond boy wasn't finished.
"What you don't get enough of stalking me at school? How did you know where I lived! Did you follow me here? Who let you in you perverted stalker?"
"Naruto! Language!" Iruka snapped at him in what was boarding on pissed off.
Naruto shut his mouth right away. No matter what the situation you did not piss off Iruka.
The momentary silence that followed was soon broken by Kakashi's cheery voice. "I think some clothes wouldn't be a bad idea either."
Naruto looked at Kakashi just about ready to ask what the hell he meant by that when he followed the mans gaze down to his chest. That's when he realized that he had just been standing there probably making a complete ass of himself, again, in nothing but his boxers this time.
"Uhh.. well.." He mumbled before he turned on his heel and hightailed it up to his room again.
Naruto wasn't completely oblivious though. Kakashi's voice had been light and humorous but he'd been staring at Naruto's scar with a very serious expression in his eye. He put on some sport pants and a t-shirt, grabbing a random hoodie as well to wear on the way to the youth center, he didn't want to have to change in the public locker room at the center. It didn't bother him so much at school anymore because he was pretty used to people looking and his friends were all used to it by now, but it was different at the youth center with all the little kids there. Little kids tended to ask a lot of very personal questions he had no desire to even think about let alone answer.
When Naruto finally dared to show his face in the living room again Iruka had just finished going over his schedule for each group he was instructing. Naruto took a seat on the couch next to his father, trying very much to act like the previous meeting hadn't taken place at all. But of course Iruka wasn't about to let it go so easily.
"Naruto. Don't you have something to say to Kakashi san?"
Naruto looked at his father first and then over at Kakashi before he finally settled with just staring at the curtains behind the mans chair. He did not want to do this but he wanted even less to get on Iruka's bad side. "I'm sorry I called you a stalker." He said quietly.
"And?" Iruka pushed.
"And what?" Naruto looked over at his dad. "I'm not sorry for calling him a pervert. It's the truth, he is a pervert." Naruto barely managed to dodge his fathers hit that had been aimed at the back of his head.
"Don't call people that you brat, I didn't raise you to be so foul mouthed." Iruka ground out.
Naruto looked at him dumbfounded. "Excuse me? Wow I must have really hit my head on something, for a moment there I thought I had been living with you and Genma for the last 9 years. But surely I must have been living in an innocent little household where no one ever swears or so much as looks at another person in a kinky way."
"Don't make me get up and kick your ass brat." Iruka said as he hit his son in the face with a pillow. "I can still beat you with only one leg."
Both of them were interrupted by the sound of a deep chuckle coming from the corner of the room. Kakashi had been watching them with great amusement the whole time. "Oh don't stop on my account. I wouldn't want to intrude on family business."
Iruka composed himself. "Terribly sorry about that. My son is adopted, I tried to fix him after I took him in but apparently it didn't work so well." Iruka said jokingly as he glanced at Naruto. Naruto decided to take the high road and let the remark slide but he did raise one eyebrow at his father.
"Anyway." Iruka continued. "How do you two know each other?"
Naruto looked over at Kakashi who was looking at him with an unreadable look on his face. Not wanting to take any chances Naruto answered the question. "He's my martial arts instructor at school." He saw no reason in telling Iruka that they had been hanging out at the train station a few weeks back. It would give his protective father a field day knowing he'd been socializing with weird looking strangers.
"I thought Genma said you were a SWAT member." Iruka said thoughtfully.
Kakashi looked over from Naruto to the dark haired man. "I used to be." He said shortly. When it became clear that he wasn't going to share any more information on that subject Iruka nodded his head and glanced at his watch.
"Well you should get going. I'm sure you want to check out the facilities before you start the class. Genma will probably be quite busy when you get there so just have Naruto show you around."
Kakashi stood up from his seat in the corner. "Yeah that would be good."
"Thank you again for your help, the kids really seem to love the classes so it would have been a great disappointment if we'd had to cancel them." Iruka said as he extended his hand to the taller man.
As Kakashi shook his hand he said. "Don't worry about it, I owed Genma one and I have a lot of free time during the weekends anyway."
Naruto was about to follow the older man out when Iruka pulled him back for a moment. Making sure Kakashi wouldn't hear him he leaned closer to his son and whispered. "So, that the guy then?"
Naruto glanced at his instructor's back before he answered his dad. "Yeah thats him."
"Alright, let's see what I can do." Naruto looked at his dads smirking face. Maybe letting Iruka in on the retaliation hadn't been such a great idea. Iruka was a person who was always, and liked to be, extremely busy. Sitting at home with nothing at all to do was clearly ticking him off, and if Iruka was anything like Naruto had been when he was at his worst then being bored with nothing but free time was a very dangerous combination.
Naruto almost felt sorry for Kakashi... Almost. The bastard had it coming after all.
x.x.x.x.x
Once Naruto and Kakashi were out of the house Iruka reached over to the coffee table and picked up his cell phone. He pushed speed dial and waited for his partner to pick up on the other end. On the third ring Genma's tired voice came on.
"Yeah, what's up?"
"Genma, sweetheart. I need you to do me a favor." Iruka said sweetly.
"Oh no. No, no, no. I know that tone. What ever it is I want absolutely no part in it so don't you sweetheart me you devil."
"But Geeenmaaa." The older man could practically hear the puppy dog eyes blinking at him through the phone. "It's for Naruto, he's being bullied!"
"What! By who?" Genma might look like the easy going dad but there was no way in hell anyone messed with his kid and got away with it.
"That friend of yours, Kakashi. Now here's what I need you to do..."
Genma listened to his lover as he listed all the things that needed to be done. "Alright doesn't sound too horrible, I'll see what I can do. God remind me again to never get on your bad side, something tells me you'd find something even worse to prank me with."
"What on earth do you take me for." Iruka said innocently. "I would never prank you... I have way to many other things I could use to punish you with."
As Genma said goodbye to his partner he shuddered. Knowing Kakashi what he was doing to Naruto was probably not that serious so he didn't really hold a grudge but there was no way he'd go against Iruka when the guy had made up his mind about something. Kakashi would just have to deal with it.
x.x.x.x.x
Yes Kakashi was the replacement, I was trying to throw you off but I guess there is no fooling you guys.. At least I still have some secrets for this story.. I hope.
x.x.x.x.x
Naruto reluctantly took the motorcycle helmet off his head, trying to hide his blushing face while looking at his feet intently. It gave Kakashi the opportunity to take his own helmet off and pull his bandanna down again without Naruto seeing.
Naruto had strongly refused to get on Kakashi's bike when they got out of the house earlier, he wasn't very keen on the idea of pretty much sitting glued to the guy's back how ever short the ride was, but the older man had finally managed to coax him on by saying they would be late if they walked. Naruto had of course been tempted to ask since when that had ever bothered the man but decided not to since he himself didn't want to be late. God only knew what would happen if the kids showed up before them and were let loose in the sports room.
On their way over there Naruto studied his companion closely. He'd estimated his age to be around Iruka's but according to his younger dad the guy was a friend of Genmas from school which meant he was probably closer to him in age.
"What? Did I just grow an extra head or something?" Kakashi asked all of a sudden. "I know I'm hot but you don't have to stare so openly." He added smugly.
Naruto just snorted at that. "Yeah right. I was just wondering how old you were. Genma said you were old friends from school but you don't look like your around his age at all."
Kakashi rubbed his head absentmindedly for a minute before he decided to answer the question.
"I'm 28 actually. I was a freshman when he was a junior in high school and we knew some of the same people."
"Oh.. wait, that should only make you 3 years younger than Genma but if your 28 then it's six years." Naruto said a bit confused.
"I skipped a few of classes in elementary school." Kakashi said casually like it was the most normal thing in the world. When Naruto only stared at him sceptically Kakashi added. "What? Just because I'm a pervert doesn't mean I'm not smart."
"Jeez he openly admits it." Naruto mumbled as he shook his head and walked into the sports room ahead of the taller man. He'd been right about Kakashi being 10 years older than him though.
"As you can see this is the sports room." Naruto said once Kakashi had entered after him. "It's nothing fancy but it's usable. This building used to be a grade school before they built the other one a few blocks away." Kakashi looked around the medium sized hall. It didn't have much, 3 ropes hung from the ceiling in one corner, 2 small soccer goals were lined up against one wall and there was a small storage room visible in another far off corner.
"We don't have a lot of equipment, mainly we just let the kids in here to play soccer or other games, I supervise here in the evenings along with the room next door." Naruto pointed through the door to another one a little further down the hallway. "We have an old ping-pong table there and some board games so I guess you could call it the game room. Martial arts is the only real classes we have here at the center since Iruka is a qualified instructor. So, like Iruka said, it's good that someone could come and take over because the kids really like the class." Naruto looked up at Kakashi once he finished.
Kakashi took another look around the room. "So, you like working here?" He asked as he looked at the younger man.
"Yeah I do. This isn't exactly a bad neighborhood but a lot of the kids that come here have troubles at home. Most of them just have parents who work a lot and are therefore never at home to take care of them but we get kids from broken or abusive homes as well. This center is pretty much just a safe place they can come to either for help and support or just to play with the other kids." Kakashi watched Naruto while he talked. He somehow looked a lot calmer now than he usually did, seeing it made him happy. Despite his past Naruto had turned out to be a great kid and Kakashi had a feeling this center was just as much a safe place for the boy as it was for the kids in the neighborhood.
"Genma and Raidou keep the center open pretty much from morning to night every day of the week." Naruto continued. "Me and Iruka help out when we have free time and my friends often come by to help out as well. Other than that we have a few volunteers who come and go."
"How do you manage to keep the place running?" Kakashi asked curiously.
"Well believe it or not this is mostly all funded by an even bigger pervert than you, he writes those books you're always reading."
"You're kidding me! Jiraiya actually funds this place?" Kakashi asked dumbfounded.
"Yeah, the center had a rough time a few years back, at that time Iruka, Genma and Raidou were pretty much keeping it afloat with money from their own pockets, which they didn't have a lot of in the first place. Then one day Jiraiya showed up at our home claiming to be my godfather, he said he didn't have any interest in taking me away from my dads but he wanted to help out in some way and when he learned about the youth center he payed up the whole mortgage, had the place renovated a bit and is now paying Genma and Raidou to run the place along with some of the upkeep. The rest is payed for by a few funds and donations."
"Poor Naruto. There must be something about you that attracts perverts." Kakashi said as he leered at Naruto.
"Hah! Tell me about it. I spent two summers traveling with the guy when I was 13 and 14 and the guy didn't do anything but spy on women the whole time. So believe me, there's not much you can do that would shock me." Naruto said as he walked a little further into the room and turned on all the lights.
"Oh I wouldn't be so sure." Kakashi said cheerfully as he followed Naruto. "I might not be able to shock you but I know a lot of techniques that can make you burn up.." Kakashi whispered in Naruto's ear as he leaned over his back. Naruto snapped around and backed into the wall when he tried to put more distance between them. Kakashi only took a step forward, almost towering over the shorter boy. Naruto's breath caught in his throat as he watched the man lean down towards him slowly, he wasn't sure if he should bolt or just rip the mask of the guys face and kiss the living daylight out of him. Except it would probably be him that would faint from that action. He felt his body respond as the mans face stopped mere inches from his, he could feel the mans breath on his skin through the mask, the sole visible eye staring into his with an unreadable look.
Suddenly Kakashi straightened up and took a few steps away, confusing Naruto momentarily but he soon found out the reason for it when Konohamaru came bursting into the room. It just proved that Naruto was way to affected by the man, he hadn't even heard the young boy coming and Konohamaru was not known for walking around silently.
"Naruto!" The boy cried as he ran towards him. "Is Iruka alright? I just wanted to show him the move you taught me but Udon totally managed to distract me so I messed it up. Man I thought I had killed him when he screamed like that. Is he ok? He's ok right?" The dark haired boy blurted out in one go.
Naruto just chuckled. "Yeah he's fine, it's just a broken leg but it will heal in no time. Way to get me in trouble though." Naruto said in mock anger. "I said you had to practice the tackle before you tried using it in a fight didn't I? What were you trying to impress a girl or something?"
"Aw boss don't say it like that. I was this close to getting a date but Udon messed it all up."
"I'm pretty sure you managed to do that all on your own." Naruto said matter of factly. "Well I hope you've learned something from all of this at least."
"Yeah. Never try to impress anyone with Udon around, he totally puts a damper on my groove." Konohamaru said knowingly.
Naruto hit him on the back of the head. "Wrong! It's to never do anything bad around Iruka that can be traced back to me."
The room started filling up with teenagers at that point, all of them greeting Naruto like a friend and chatting with him while they waited for the rest of the kids to get there. Once everyone had arrived Naruto had them gather around in the middle of the room where he introduced Kakashi as their substitute instructor.
Kakashi then took over the class, he paired them up and had them fight one on one while he walked around the room watching them and giving a few pointers here and there. He had decided to go easy on the kids on the first day and just see where they stood. Occasionally he would get Naruto's help in showing them how to do something properly or to teach them a new move. Otherwise he had Naruto walking around as well helping out who ever needed it.
The second class was the same age as the first, kids around 13 – 15 year old. The sport hall wasn't big enough for a large crowd to move around well enough and Iruka also thought it was best to have smaller groups so he could focus more on each student. Each class usually only lasted for about an hour but Iruka would always stay behind and either just chat with the kids or answer any questions they had about the training. Kakashi and Naruto didn't have the opportunity to do that though since the classes were all scheduled one after the other so as Naruto was saying goodbye to the first one the second group was already piling in. They did the same thing with this group, had them fighting one on one while they walked around and helped out.
After the second class they had a small lunch break so Naruto took Kakashi to the cafeteria. He didn't bother to stand in line with the other kids though and just headed right into the kitchen with the older man. Raidou was standing over the stove busily making burger after burger on the grill, he looked up when he heard the sliding doors and greeted Naruto joyfully when he spotted him.
"Hey! Naruto, long time no see, where have you been hiding? How have you been?"
"I've been good. Just joined a club at school so I haven't been around here much lately." Naruto said as he walked over to the scarred man and gave him a one armed hug.
"Yeah I've noticed. Suddenly it was only Konohamaru making a noise around here.. although he did manage to make enough racket for the both of you while you were absent."
"Hey! I do more than just pollute the airwaves you know." Naruto said with fake offense. "Now do your job and feed me." He whined. Raidou was almost like Naruto's third father, he was at least a very fun uncle and they always got along very well.
"Yeah, yeah.. Don't worry, even if I did have the desire to starve you I'd never do it. Iruka would kill me." Raidou said as he got a plate for the blond boy and put two burgers on it. "What about your friend over there, he need food too?"
Naruto looked over at Kakashi who had been standing back and just watching them. "Him? No he can starve." He said as he headed over to a table further back in the kitchen.
Raidou just laughed and shook his head before he turned to Kakashi. "Hey, long time no see to you too." Being one year older than Genma, Raidou had only been in the same school as Kakashi for one year but they had hung out quite a lot despite that for a couple of years since they had some mutual friends. "What are you up to these days? Still on the force?"
"Nahh." Kakashi said. "quit that a few years ago. "I'm a teacher at Naruto's school now along with running the martial arts club there."
"Oh really? Small world huh." Raidou said surprised. "I hope he isn't giving you too much trouble, the kid can be a down right pain in the ass you know." He raised his voice when he said the last sentence.
"Oi! Who are you calling a pain in the ass!" Naruto called back. "I'll have you know that that pervert there is messing with me not the other way around."
The scarred man just laughed at that. "Somehow that doesn't surprise me either." He said as he took another plate and gave it to Kakashi.
"Would you guys keep it down back there." Came an annoyed womans voice. "Your making more noise than the kids."
"Sorry Shizune." Raidou called back, he turned to Kakashi with a grin. "Well it was nice seeing you again. You should really come by sometime when you don't have to work, we can hang out like the old days."
Kakashi smiled as he took the plate. "Sure, I can talk to Asuma about it as well, he's working at the school too."
"Yeah I heard about that. What about that weird kid you used to hang out with, you still keep in touch with him?"
"Gai? Yeah he's an instructor with me at the school. If I ever feel masochistic I'll invite him along as well." Kakashi said as he walked over to where Naruto was sitting, giving his old friend a wave over his back.
x.x.x.x.x
The rest of the day went by pretty quickly. Classes 3 and 4 had kids around 9 to 12 years old and the fifth class had the younger kids, the youngest one there being 6 years old. Kakashi had just made the older group do some easy exercises, he'd taught the younger group some basics and had Naruto help him show them some advanced moves just for the fun of it, after that he had just let them play some games for a bit.
He watched Naruto as he interacted with the kids, running after them in a game of tag, rolling around with them on the floor and fake dying when some boys shot at him with their fingers. Naruto also broke up some play fights when they were starting to get too extreme and at one point he had seen him comfort a crying girl after she'd fallen and hurt herself. He found that he loved seeing this side of Naruto, unlike when he saw him at school or in the crowd at the train station the boy just looked so at home here. Like he didn't have a care in the world at all, no troubled past to catch up with him. Just then Kakashi realized that that was probably the case, these little kids were too young to know anything about Naruto's past and therefore he didn't have to put up any defenses with them, he could just be himself without worrying about being judged.
He really hadn't had any idea that Naruto had been adopted by Genma and his partner Iruka. He'd lost touch with most of his friends after graduation and even more of them after he became a SWAT member. The only person he never lost contact with was Gai and that was only because the guy was impossible to push away. He's been a bit surprised when Genma had called him yesterday and asked him if he could help out for a few Saturdays, he'd been even more surprised when he got to his old friends house and seen a picture of the two men with Naruto standing between them resting on the mantelpiece. He'd managed to recovered before the boy walked down the stairs in the flesh, literally.
Oh no, Kakashi didn't regret agreeing to his friends request at all.
