fallen_angelz: Okay, here's chapter six! Thanks for the reviews, everybody, and I hope this chapter will be just as interesting since my muse decided to bring up "What'll happen if Kakashi takes care of Mahina for the day?" and wouldn't let me forget. Anyway, I don't own Naruto and I don't make any money from this fic so read and enjoy.

Chapter Six

How could one Jounin have lost a little kid?

Kakashi ran through his apartment, frantically searching for the little terror that was also known as Naruto's adopted daughter. Okay, this wasn't anything too big. All he had to do was think like a frightened little kid.

The silver haired Jounin stopped and thought patiently, placing himself in Mahina's shoes. She was probably still scared since she had to get help just to get over what Orochimaru had done and Naruto leaving her with a stranger wasn't helping much. Okay, so if he was a scared kid, what would he have done?

He slapped his head, the answer coming to him. He would have found a safe place to hide where no one would think to look. Okay, now that he had figured that much out, what would a little kid deem safe? Um... hiding in a closet or under a bed seemed like a good enough answer. Actually, hiding anywhere dark and out of sight seemed like a better idea. Okay, so he knew he had to look in closets, cabinets, and anywhere else that the little girl might think was safe.

His visible eye softened when he found the little girl in his bedroom closet, her face stained with tears. She was clinging to Naruto's jacket tightly as if she were afraid he wouldn't come back for her. "Hey, do you want to come out?" Kakashi questioned gently.

Mahina shook her head, silent wails leaving her lips as she cried. Obviously she was afraid of him, but he wasn't overly sure how to soothe the child's fears. "Okay, can I sit out here?" Kakashi asked.

Slowly, Mahina nodded. Kakashi smiled to himself, making a mental note how the child didn't want anybody near her when she was upset. Okay, he could deal with that. "How about a story?" Kakashi suggested lightly.

Mahina looked at him with a questioning look, wiping her nose on Naruto's jacket. Only Naruto told her stories, she had never heard anybody else tell her a story. Sakura sang her to sleep once and she had never stayed with Sai, although she knew that day was coming soon. What kind of story would Kakashi tell? Slowly, she nodded almost completely curious as to what kind of story he'd tell her.

Kakashi looked thoughtful for a moment before saying, "Many years ago, there lived a princess that was guarded by an evil dragon. One day, a knight came along in search of a treasure that the dragon had stolen. When he arrived, he saw that the dragon had taken away the treasure, but left behind the princess.

"The princess was silent, never speaking a word. The knight did all that he could to make the princess happy so he could hear her laughing, but she remained silent. One day when the knight least suspected it, the princess went up to him and motioned for him to come closer."

Mahina slowly scooted out of the closet, wanting to hear the story better. She pouted when Kakashi stopped, hitting her hands impatiently on the floor. She wanted to know what the princess did, but he wasn't telling her. "With one breath she whispered 'thank you' to him for saving her from the dragon. Soon after the princess spoke, the dragon had been slain by the knight and the princess never worried about the dragon ever again. The end."

Kakashi smiled when he saw that the little girl had left the closet, her tears no longer falling. She quickly got up and ran into the living room, digging through the bag that Naruto had brought along. Grabbing her crayons, she began drawing a picture before showing Kakashi.

The silver haired Jounin looked at the picture of Naruto, seeing that he was killing Orochimaru and taking back Sasuke. "Hai, Naruto's going to kill Orochimaru someday." Kakashi said lightly. "He's the knight and Orochimaru's the dragon."

Mahina smiled a little before starting to color again. Tearing the paper out of the notebook, she tugged on Kakashi's shirt before giving him the picture. Kakashi felt tears coming to his eyes as he looked at the picture, seeing that it was a picture of him being hugged by the little girl. "She expresses her thoughts through her pictures. It's really the only way she communicates right now." Naruto had told him. "Just let her draw if she's upset or whatever and she'll show you if she wants you to know what she's feeling."

Kakashi knelt down to the little girl's level, seeing the innocent look in her eyes. She wasn't scared of him anymore, he realized, and that fear had been replaced by something else. He had offered her comfort through a story, he was okay to her now. "How about we go out for ice cream?" Kakashi suggested.

Mahina nodded and clapped her hands, joy placing itself on her face. She got up and ran over to put her choose on, waiting patiently while Kakashi put his own sandals on. When they left the apartment, Kakashi was shocked when the little girl grabbed his hand and rested her head against his arm as they walked down the streets of Konoha.

Once they had finished their ice cream, Kakashi decided to check in to see if there were any upcoming missions. It was surprisingly easy to ignore the various surprised looks that appeared on his associates' faces but a run in with Gai gave them all one hell of a surprise. Amazingly enough, all it took was the little girl being surprised.

Kakashi had been explaining how the Jounin checked their schedules when suddenly Gai showed up. "Kakashi, my eternal rival! I see you've decided to care for the flame of youth that had nearly been suppressed!" Gai said loudly.

Mahina, not knowing that somebody had been behind them and suddenly scared because of the outburst, spun around and somehow sent Gai flying across the wall with a wedge in the floor. The little girl's eyes gathered with tears as she started silently wailing, dropping onto her butt and covering her ears.

Once Gai had been checked to see if there were any serious injuries, Kakashi turned his attention to soothing the crying girl. What the hell had happened? A fully grown male shinobi had just been thrown across the room by a little kid! Calmly, Kakashi soothed the child until she was only clinging to his vest and sniffling, Kakashi took the little girl to Tsunade.

Of course, the woman had been just as surprised as Kakashi when she heard about it. She tried to get Mahina to do what she had done before, but the little girl simply shook her head. "Can you do it again?" Tsunade questioned.

Mahina looked thoughtful for a moment before shaking her head, silently motioning that she was tired. Apparently whatever had happened took a lot out of the little girl. "Take her back to your apartment so she can get some sleep." Tsunade told Kakashi calmly. "I'll let Naruto know we're going to need to run more tests."

Nodding calmly as he picked Mahina up, Kakashi used a teleportation jutsu to take him and Mahina back to his apartment. The little girl crawled onto the couch and quickly fell asleep, not even bothering to take her shoes off. Silently, Kakashi removed his and the little girl's shoes, watching as she began sucking her thumb as she slept. What the hell had Orochimaru done?
Naruto was silent as he walked down the darkened street towards their new apartment, Mahina snugly wrapped up in his jacket and comfortably sleeping in his arms. He had spent the past few hours trying to determine what exactly needed to be done to help Mahina, but the solutions were few. Those who had witnessed what the little girl had done each swore they hadn't felt any chakra and even if they had, there was no way in hell the little girl could have held so much chakra of her own.

Naruto's eyes were soft as he unlocked the door, carrying the little girl inside before closing and locking it again. He kicked off his shoes and carried the little girl into her bedroom, laying her down on the bed so he could grab her a pair of pajamas. He knew that one of the council members had ordered someone to watch him with Mahina, but he didn't do anything just to make them believe he didn't want her taken away from him. He wanted to keep her and everything he was doing for her, he was doing because he actually cared about her.

Carefully Naruto undressed the little girl, talking softly to her when she began to stir. He couldn't explain why, but he felt the need to make sure she was never afraid. Was there actually a paternal instinct making itself known or was Kyuubi doing something to him? Once he got the girl into her pajamas and tucked into bed, Naruto decided that it didn't matter. Mahina was his to take care of and he'd be damned if he ever lost her.
A couple of days later, Mahina found herself in an empty room with some people she didn't recognize. "Okay, sweetheart, we need you to try not to pull at the wires." Sakura explained as she adjusted a few of the wires that were attached to the little girl. "Orochimaru did something bad to you and we need to know what exactly he did and these wires are going to help us."

Mahina made a confused look before nodding slightly. If Naruto was outside, then that meant they'd go home soon after this was done. Then she could look at her books and try learning how to read and write. Naruto was teaching her, but she was having a hard time since she kept making her letters backwards.

She jumped when the purple haired woman suddenly shot snakes towards her. A silent scream left the little girl's lips as she shut her eyes tightly. She didn't like snakes, she wanted them to go away!

Anko dodged the snakes that went flying back towards her, making them vanish in a puff of smoke before they hit the wall. What the hell had Orochimaru done? How the hell was a little girl defending herself without even doing anything?

Sakura was silent as she watched the various needles jumping around. The little girl obviously had been scared, but her brainwaves were showing serious activity. With each test that they were doing, the little girl's brainwaves would pick up then go back to their normal range until the next test had been done.

Once the girl's brainwaves slowed down to the point where it was obvious she was sleeping, Sakura called for them to stop. The pink haired kunoichi was careful as she took the wires off of the little girl, seeing that her eyes were partially closed as her small chest rose and fell evenly. "Naruto, we're done." Sakura said softly.

Naruto entered the room, talking softly as he picked his daughter up. He raised an eyebrow when he saw the various cuts and bruises on Ibiki and Anko, wondering what exactly they had done to the little girl. "I don't know what the hell Orochimaru did, but he sure as hell did something." Anko stated with a cautious look. "I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he intended on using that little girl to kill people."

"Neither would I, but Mahina's safe here. She's going to grow up and know that she's loved and isn't some pet project." Naruto stated calmly. "I'm going to take her home now so she can get some rest. This stuff obviously takes a lot out of her."

"They're going to use you, you know."

Mahina was silent as she looked at Hiro, seeing that he didn't look happy. "No, they're not. They want to find out what the bad man did." Mahina said calmly.

Hiro snorted, obviously not very pleased with the little girl's answer. "Is that was Na. Ru. To. told you?" Hiro questioned, biting off each syllable in Naruto's name. "That they want to help you?"

"Daddy doesn't lie." Mahina protested.

"Oh, so now he's Daddy? Whose Mommy then? Sakura?"

Mahina shook her head a little before saying, "I don't have a mommy yet. I just have Daddy and Grandma Tsunade."

Hiro looked furious before saying, "They're going to throw you back to Orochimaru as soon as they get tired of you. If they don't, then they're going to breed you."

Mahina shook her head rapidly and shouted as she squeezed her eyes shut, "No! Daddy loves me and he won't do anything bad! Go away! I don't want to see you anymore! You're not real!"

When she opened her eyes, she saw that Hiro had gone away. Staring in amazement, the little girl looked around and nodded slightly. There had never been anybody named Hiro and there never would be.

At least, not in her mind.

fallen_angelz: Hmmm... I wonder about Hiro. Honestly, I don't know if he's just part of Mahina's imagination or what exactly he is. All I know for certain is that I'm not ready to let him go just yet so we'll have to see what's going to happen. Read and review and I should have the chapter up whenever I feel like posting again.
