Iruka shivered, staying curled tightly against the corner of the cage, pondering on how he was going to escape and if his father would be alright. It had only been a few hours but it already felt like years iruka.

However, the sudden click of the cage opening startled the young man making him sit up while grabbing the nearest object, which happened to be a pitcher for water.

"Ah! You must excuse our dear master I promise he's not a bad guy once you get to know him! Such youth should never be waste rotten inch away in a cold cage. Come we shall show you too your room!" Called a loud booming voice as iruka slowly walked forward to find the same candelabra jumping down after opening the door. The brunette slowly but the pitcher of water down and gently picked Gai up. "Woah! Careful I wouldn't want to burn you." He said looking a little surprised as if he wasn't really to get hit.

"I'm assuming you thought I would hit you didnt I?
No, I'm going to since if there a beast living in a castle in the middle of nowhere then I'm assuming he'd have people who lived here as well." Iruka said with a smile flinched once he saw the clock raising a brow at the fact that the clock looked like he was smoking. "Right! This is Asuma and I am Gai. It's a pleasure to meet you now let's go find your room.

"My room? I thought I was supposed to stay here?"

"Oh no! Our master says things when he angry and doesn't truly mean them."

Iruka hummed, not quite convinced that an ill tempered man would actually be give him a room but took what he could got. 'I am trapped here that's for sure' once they arrived the Brunette gasped at the elegant and all but drop dead gorgeous room. He opened up a window to gasped at the sight, although the entire place was covered in snow it held a sort of gleam to it.

"Yes! I'm glad your liking your room if you ever need anything just let any of us know!" Gai chirped leaving the brunette to be alone and not even a moment after they left iruka grabbed what he could of the sheets and got to work on making a majesty rope in order to escape. It would take a while with how high up he was but he has to escape. He needed to know if his father was alright.

Meanwhile, Kakashi had his way to the dining table taking a seat to eat his meal but h noticed something was different. He noticed another set of tableware just across from him and the Beast stood up with a growl. He bursted into the kitchen, much to Asuma and Gai fright.

"You made him dinner?" Kakashi questioned just voice cold and furious as ever, he was never one to shout but he had that sort of anger that would silent almost like a knife slicing across a throat.

Asuma gulped before turning towards Gai refusing to be the one to tell him anything.

"Why yes! I thought it be quite youthful if the young brunette writer to join you! Who know he might be the one!" Gai cheered flinching as Kakashi gazed turned a fierce glare but he tried to ignore it. After all he wanted to help his friend.

"The one? Really? He's the son of a petty thief! Why would he be the one?" Kakashi questioned

"Now you can't judge someone based on their father how can we Kakashi?" Kurenai, a teapot, piped in giving the male a stern look in her eyes or at least what looked to be her eyes.
"The boy just lost his father and his freedom in one day. Now please make it work or else you'll be drinking cold tea for the rest of your life! Now go up and ask him to dinner."

Kakashi, not knowing what to make of this, somehow his only friends, if he ever dared to call them friends, dragged him all the way to the tower. He was angry that they had given his prisoner a room but he couldn't make the boy go back into the cell or else everyone would have his head. So, he stared at the door silently questioned why he was doing this and knocked on the door ever harshly.
Their was no reply.

"Knock gently!"

Kakashi recalled Gai advice and this time knocked gently hoping to hear a reply and one he heard.

"Just a moment!"

"Ma, would you like to join me for dinner?" Kakashi asked trying to sound polite and hoped his voice didn't sound harsh.

"You locked me up in a castle, took away my freedom and now you want to have dinner with me? Are you insane?" Iruka said walking towards the door but flinched upon hearing more banging.

"You will have dinner with me or none at all!" Kakashi growled out already mentally knowing what he was doing was wrong but he couldn't help it especially with his temper.

"My answer is no! I'd rather starve then eat with you!" Iruka retort with a low growl before turning around and worked on escaping out of this place as quickly as he could. He didn't hear Kakashi leave nor did he care. He perked up to the sound of another knock narrowing his eyes thinking it was Kakashi but once the door opened it revealed a Black and red pot with golden swirls and layers along with an white and orange tea cup with a little Naruto drawing on the side. "Hello darling! I'm Kurenai and this is Naruto."

Iruka blinked, not all startled as it was quite clear this castle was something out a famous fairy tail but less terrible then the original. He gave a weak smile before Kurenai pour some tea into nature who was quick to run towards iruka saying 'dattabyo'

"Naruto careful!" The pot called out with a stern look before naruto huff making iruka chuckling picking up the tea cup carefully.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Kurenai and naruto. What brings you to my humble room I guess?" Iruka asked.

"We want to check up on you iruka! I know Kakashi sensei can be a pain but I promise he's not all bad." Naruto explained jumping on his little plate looking all bright eyes, eyes that had gone through hardships but determined to continue on a goal.

"Naruto is right iruka. I know he's cold and inconsiderate but I promise he wasn't not always like this but after everything that happened to his father and mother and even his friends.. we can only do some much for him. Especially after being sentenced to stay in this castle. " Kurenai explained with a somber smile on her face, recalling all the terrible things that had happened to her master but had no way of helping him.

Iruka rose a small brow before clearing this throat. "There must be something I can do to break this curse?"

"Now, iruka that's for us to work out ourselves now drink up your tea before it gets cold! " Kurenai hushed watching the brunette drink it tea while Naruto chatted about his day but soon enough the turned tea pot and tea cup left quietly.

Iruka let out a sigh glancing over towards the makeshift latter he made escape before reconsidering and simply pushed in against the side deciding to wait and see what would happened.
