Uncovered (Naruto Highschool Fanfiction)

'Help me'

AN : Yay! I updated on schedule! I had a lot of fun writing this chapter so I hope you enjoy. ＼(^o^)／

Kakashi's POV

After I sent Naruto to help Mizuki I walked to the teachers' office and sat at my desk. As I sifted through the paperwork and files left on my desk my thoughts drifted to Naruto. He has been improving a lot lately, and not just academically.

His grade are getting better with every tutoring session with Sasuke. He also is happier and smiling more often. Naruto is also more on top of things and actually plans his time out. Sasuke has been a great influence. Naruto has more friends from the baseball team and doesn't dread school like he did before.

I'm really happy that things have changed for the better.

A few desks away from me Gai was 'scolding' the new kid Hidan for flipping off another student. When Gai 'scolds' a student he rants about how their actions were un-youthful and they should be using the youth they have in more productive ways. Gai will probably just assign him bathroom clean up duty.

I take out my phone and earbuds and listen to Girls Generation as I grade papers.

After finishing most of my work for the day I went back home where Pakkun greeted me before going back to lounging on the couch. I turned the tv on and tuned it to a drama he liked watching. I walked upstairs and knocked on Naruto's door. I waited a moment before opening the door and seeing the lights off and the room empty.

"Huh...he probably went out then." I pull out my phone as I walk back downstairs to send him a quick text, asking when he'll be home.

I go into the kitchen and plug my phone into my speakers. I play a song by Nine Muses before getting started on dinner. As I'm looking through the fridge for what to cook I hear the front door open.

I poke my head out of the kitchen to see who's there.

"Welcome home, Tsunade."

"What are you making Kakashi?"

"I don't know." I eye-smile and walk back into the kitchen,"Anything in particular you want to eat?"

"Did Naruto want anything?"

"No, he's not home yet. I texted him earlier but he never replied."

Tsunade's phone rings and she answers it,"Yes, Shizune?" She listens to her and her eyebrows scrunch up in confusion,"Slow down, Shizune. I can't understand..." Her eyes widen in shock,"Where is he right now? Is he okay?"

Naruto's POV

I crack my eyes open and the fluorescent lights burn at my retinas. I groan in pain. My head. What happened? I try to raise my hand to my scalp to feel for blood only to realize that they are tied together. What th-

I hear a door crack open and look towards it to see Mizuki-sensei walk in and lock the door behind him.

"Oh." He gasps in mock surprise,"I hope I didn't wake you." He walks closer and stares down at my prone form,"I guess you can say I got a little bit too...excited. I had to lug all these books up here when I should have just gotten your lazy ass to do it." Mizuki huffs and bends down to better inspect me,"I like you lying on the floor."

I open my mouth to ask him why he's doing this. To yell, to scream, to say anything.

But with a kick to my stomach he stops me from doing so. I wheeze and curl into myself.
