Melody (Konoha School Of Arts)

1. Why do you play?

I smell some binge readers from Symphony here! If you're one why don't you do your eyes a favour and take a break? I bet you have some homework or house chore you're forgetting to do. Don't worry, the book isn't leaving you😁.

Chapter dedicated to Onyxxstar. I hope you had a great and not too stressful time at boarding school. (I also hope you didn't forget about this book and are actually reading this 💔)

In an empty daycare stood two figures, a boy and a man. The boy had hair the colour of the golden rays of the sun and eyes like the summer sky. He would look exactly like his father if not for the peculiar birthmarks on each of his cheeks; three pencil thin whiskers that made him look vulpine.

He was trying to teach his sensei how to dance but it was hopeless. The man, his sensei, sighed exasperatedly as his pseudo brother forced him to move his hips because they were too stiff. "Naruto I sing, not dance!" He complained for the nth time that hour.

"Of course you can dance!" Naruto, the boy, retorted moving his own hips and arms in a wave like motion like a snake. "ABCD; any body can dance! You're just lazy, Iruka-sensei."

Iruka bopped the young boy's nose at that comment. "No, you're just a better dancer. Come on, Kakashi-san is here to pick you up." At that the blond turned around to see his other favorite uncle? Brother? He didn't care what these two were to him but he liked them a lot. They were the only ones other than his parents that didn't assess him based on his father's skills.

"Kakashi-nii!" Naruto squealed and ran towards the masked silver haired man.

"Yo-umph!" Kakashi didn't get any warning before the hyper blond jumped into his hands. It was a good thing he had fast reflexes and a good center of balance or they would both be on the ground sporting bumps right now. "Careful kiddo, you almost fell there." He ruffled the blond locks.

"But I knew you wouldn't let me." Naruto assured. Iruka passed his orange bag pack and lunch box to Kakashi who accepted them with an eye smile.

"Thank you for taking care of him, Iruka-san." The ballerina appreciated.

"It is no problem. My regards to Kushina-san and Minato-san. Bye Naruto, see you tomorrow." Iruka waved the boy bye.

"Bye bye!" Naruto waved back enthusiastically. Kakashi made sure to hide his face because of the possible paparazzi that might be lurking around his daycare. The journey to the car was safe and reporters free, fortunately.

Once they were safely inside the car Naruto began his usual tale bearing, telling Kakashi every single detail about his day and what he did and who annoyed him and who he was friends with. It was cute the way the kid babbled as he sipped Capri sun so long as he did not spill it on the seats.

They finally pulled into the Namikaze-Uzumaki building where Naruto found his father's car parked at. The boy perked at the prospect of his father being home early and jumped outside Kakashi's car once the silver haired ballerina had removed the child lock on it.

"Daddy!" Naruto squealed as he ran inside the house only to freeze at the lobby at the sight of a stranger in their home. The man had long black hair and scary golden eyes. It didn't help Naruto's budding fear that the man had fangs which were revealed when he smirked and held his chubby cheeks.
