Naruto was woken up to the smell of bacon and eggs and sunlight hitting his face softly. He smiled, as he snuggled burying himself deeper under the covers. His bed has never been this soft and comfortable before nor was it ever large. Maybe the orphanage caretaker bought them the new beds they were promised? Maybe they finnaly got a new cook--

But then he remembered. The orphanage kicked him out. Naruto shot up from bed and winced. He touched his head feeling bandages wrapped around it. He lowered his gaze to find he was wearing a shirt twice his size and, lifting it, he saw his abdomen was also bandaged up.

Where was he? He looked around the room. The walls were marble white and so was the tiled floor, the air condition was up and there was one window in the bedroom that reached the floor up to the ceiling giving him a nice view of the outside. There was a dark blue rug on the floor and the walls were lined with shelves full of books.

There was one mahogany desk in the corner of the room, papers scattered messily on it and one cup full of pencils and pens. There was a picture on the desk, showing a young boy with silver hair and wearing a surgical mask staring blankly at the camera, his eyes were heterochromatic, one grey and the other red. Behind him was a man with also silver hair but wore no mask unlike the boy. The man was smiling widely, looking very happy.

Naruto frowned. He guessed he was in the house of the man in the picture. And the young boy was the man's son. He remembered seeing the silhuette of a man running towards him and a flash of silver and crimson.

The man in the picture must have been the one to save him, he remimded himself to thank the man for letting a street rat like him in his home and taking care of him rather then abandoning him to die im the alley.

"Ah, I see you are awake" a baritone voice spoke from the door. He whip his head back to see a man leaning against the door frame. Naruto's cheeks stained red as his eyes raked over the man's form.

He was shirtless, displaying his well built muscled body to him. Forcing--with great difficulty--to move his gaze from the stranger's abbs to his face Naruto felt his lips dry when he saw the man's face.

He was goddamn handsome as hell. With mistmatched eyes, one a stormy grey and the other was a fiery red.

His hair was silver, like the father and son in the picture. Realization came to Naruto that the boy was this man all grown up and he is in his house. Realization also came to him that this was the same man he locked eyes with the other night when he was being chased through the rain.

"What---I mean, who--I-" Naruto stammered trying to get the right words out of his mouth.

The man, Kakashi, looked amusedly at him. But he understood the blond was confused and overwhelmed maybe even panicked. He was attacked yesterday and would have bled to death if Kakashi hadn't come to his rescue.

Now here he was, in a stranger's home in his bed. Naruto felt uncomfortable about the situation he was in. "What happened exactly?" he blurted out.

The silverrette took several steps towards him, careful not to alarm the younger. "I found you being assaulted and helped. You loss a lot of blood but I knew a friend who is a medic so she fixed you here" he explains.

"How long was I---"

"----Three days" Kakashi bluntly said. Naruto's eyes widened. He's been unconscious for three days straight? What did this man do to him while he was unconscious and defenseless? Fear found it's way to his body and he suddenly started shaking like a leaf.

Kakashi, noticing this thought the kid was having a panic attack. "Shit! Uh--Tsunade!" he called holding the shaking blonde.

Unknown to him his touch calmed the blonde, only by a little. A busty blond woman with a youthful appearance(though Naruto had a strong feeling she was older then she looked) came running inside.

"What's wrong?" she demanded worriedly. She glanced at the wide eyed younger blonde, and the silverrette protectively holding him.

"He was having a panic attack" Kakashi explains. Naruto meanwhile shook his head: "N-no! I was just---" Naruto calmed himself. "I'm fine" he assures. Kakashi lets out a breath he didn't knew he was holding. The busty blond meanwhile rested a hand on the male blonde's forehead.

"The kid's running a fever" she concludes. She faces her friend with a quirked brow. "Tell me Kakashi, how badly was he when you found him?"

"Half dead" Kakashi bluntly responded. "I arrested the guy who did this to him, don't you worry" He assured. Tsunade sighs before patting the younger blonde's head.

"Rest more kid, Kakashi come with me to the kitchen we need to talk. And prepare him some soup while we're at it" Tsunade beckoned for the man to follow her.

However--much to both males' surprise and Tsunade's confusion--Naruto's hand latched onto Kakashi's wrist. He felt warmth and protection from the man. And he didn't want to lose that feeling, even for a brief moment.

Kakashi gave the younger blonde a close eye smile, before gently pulling his wrist away. "Relax kid---"

"---Naruto" the blonde suddenly blurted out. He mentaly kicked himself for stupidly revealing his name to strangers. Even though he himself knows it won't make much of a diffirence. He's a street rat, a nobody. So it doesn't realy matter.

Kakashi cleared his throat. "Alright, Naruto...Don't worry. We're just going to talk in the kitchen" he patted his head like Tsunade did.

The busty blond raised a brow at the interaction. Why is the big bad Hatake suddenly acting so.....soft, on a complete stranger? Unless they have already met before. In another life perhaps. "Kakashi" she coughed. The Hatake gave her a glare before--reluctantly--leaving the younger blonde's side.

With Kakashi's back turned he did not notice, a red string appeared once again. Connecting them together. Naruto's eyes blinked numerously.

"I realy need to have my eyes examined" the blonde thought misrebly.
