3rd POV
It's a beautiful day, the sun rises, the birds are chirping and the situation is pretty much peaceful. Unfortunately it's not for Akito. He hadn't slept for nearly 3 weeks and dark circles under his eyes are getting worse. Naruto had called him panda because of the eye bags on him. Not that he cared though. Ibiki and Inoichi is worried helped him in many ways to sleep. Non of them work.
Akito groaned for the nth time and get ready for the day. He decided to go out and clear his mind and figure out what should he do to save Shisui and about the future.
He went out and strolled around trying to clear his mind. Soon, he stopped by the playground. Many kids playing around there.
Akito POV
Arriving at the park, I saw a kid standing at the tree shades nearby. The kid stood there and looking around. 'Is he lost?' I wondered. I went up to the kid and ask " Are you lost kid?"
The kid looked up at me and started to cry..... ' WHAT SHOULD I DO AHHHH- ' Let's be honest, nobody knows what to do when there's a kid crying in front of you and when they're crying, you're just there, staring at them but inside, you're panicking.
" Wha- don't cry- I-" I wanted to help the kid but he starts crying louder. People around there just look at us. I sighed and reach some candy from my pocket. Ibiki bought it and try to replace my smoking addiction with sweets. I gave him a lollipop. He stares at me with teary eyes. Man, I feel like a kidnaper. " come on kid, if you're lost just say so. I'll help you to find your parents or whatever guardian you have" I said to the kid. The kid hesitantly nod at me.
" My name is Akito, what's yours?" I asked the kid.
" Uhm- m-my name is Keita " the kid says while fidgeting with his hands. " Alright Keita, why and how are you here?" I ask the kid.
" uhm- I don't know. My mom said to stay at the stall and wait until she's back. So I wait for hours but she's still not here so I- I tried to find my mom but I got lost. " Keita said told me.
'Ah, it seems that I have to babysit this kid and find his parents.... Why me... why did I decide to help him? why??' I thought internally and starting to regret my decision.
" I'll help you find your mom so stop crying. How does your mom looks like?"
" My mom have a brown hair, beautiful green eyes and she wears a glasses. Uhm.. she wears kimono with a light blue haori, it has many patterns." Keita informed while following behind me
I hne'd as an answer and walk towards the shopping district to find his mom while Keita walk behind me like a little duckling.
.
.
It's been hours I've searched for Keita's mom. We got nobody. I had brought him to hang out with Naruto. Keita told me that his mom wouldn't let him to play with Naruto but I forced him to play with Naruto anyways. They didn't get along at first but they become good friends after that. I sighed in irritation. I had called Inoichi to help me to find his mother while I take care of them so they don't do anything stupid. Inoichi agreed to help me and now I'm at Yamanaka compound With Naruto and Keita.
Naruto and Keita is currently playing together at the Yamanaka's training grounds while I followed them. Good news, they're not doing anything that will cause their life. Bad news, I'm having a current breakdown for some unknown reason. I can see many monsters and scary figures lurking around me. I sighed and ignore it. I continue to watch them play.
.
.
The sun is nearly down..... Inoichi still haven't come back... The yamanaka servant served us some snacks and it seems that both of them enjoyed it. They had play for too long and now they're both exhausted . Keita and Naruto slept together while leaning on the wall. I got up and lay both of them down in a comfortable position so they can sleep. *sigh* 'This is so tiring'
.
.
*knock knock* A knocking sound broke the silence.
" hm? come in." I said. The door opened and revealed Inoichi and a woman behind him. The woman have brown hair, green eyes and she wears a glasses. She wears kimono with a light blue haori, that have flower patterns on it.
' ah, must be Keita's mother' I thought to in realization.
" I assume this is Keita's mother" I said to Inoichi. Inoichi nods at me and darted his eye at the two boys beside me sleeping peacefully. " ah, they exhausted themselves after playing and they just slept around an hour ago. I'll wake them up" I informed them. I got up and shake Keita's body to wake him up.
" Wake up Keita, your mom is waiting." I told him. Keita got up and rubbed his eyes.. Keita's mother went up to him and picked him up.
" My name is Kyoya. I'm sorry for all the trouble that I caused to you. Thank you for take caring of Keita. "' She thanked me.
I sighed. " It's nothing. He did cause a bit of trouble but at least he had fun playing with his new friend. "
" who's his friend?" Kyoya ask me." Naruto Uzumaki" I answered her question.
Kyoya looked surprised when I said Naruto's name. " I- I see. " she said. Her eyes flashed many emotions like fear, relieved and many unknown emotions. I sighed again. " Keita had fun playing with him and I'm sure he'd want to play with him again. No, Naruto didn't harm him if you're wondering. " I informed her.
" Once again, thank you for take caring of my son" Kyoya bowed to me.
"It's nothing. Plus, I'm glad that you're nothing like the others. It's the first time I see a person like you in this village. You wanted to protect your son but you're also glad that he made a friend. When you heard that Naruto is his friend, you feared that something would happened but your eyes says that you felt regret. You didn't felt regret towards yourself nor at Keita, you felt regret at Naruto. What is it that you regret? " I asked her. Kyoya eyes widened at my statement. The silence in the air makes me realized what did I asked her.
" sorry, I couldn't hold my curiosity. It's okay if you don't want to answer. You should go home now, the sun is nearly down." I said to Kyoya. Kyoya snapped back to reality and thanked me and Inoichi. 'Inoichi had been the third wheel the whole time, poor Inoichi' I thought to myself.
" Well, I have to go now before Ibiki will interrogate me. I'll carry Naruto to his house. Thanks for everything Inoichi. " I said to as I carry Naruto behind my back.
" It's nothing. If you need help, I'll be there." He said with a smile plastered on his face and pat me on the head. I huffed at his action.
.
.
I arrived at Naruto's home. Surprisingly, the house door isn't locked.... ' did he forget to lock it?' I wondered. I went in the house... It was a complete garbage and it looked like somebody broke in. I narrowed my eyes and check if there's anything got stolen.
Good news, nothing is stolen. Bad news, I have to clean up the mess. I layed Naruto on his bed and start to clean his house, again. I took a cigarette, lit it up and start to smoke. I rolled up my sleeves and look at the mess. I huffed out smoke. ' alright, let's begin'
.
.
It took me 30 minutes for me to clean the whole house. I sighed for the nth time. ' Ibiki will kill me'
I cooked dinner for Naruto, wrapped it up and leave a note for him. I took another cigarette and lit it up and went out. I start to walk and go back home.
As soon as I got home, I opened the door, I saw Ibiki standing right in front of me, glaring. " Explain." Ibiki demanded me. I just huffed out smoke and said " I had to babysit 2 brats and now I'm tired."
Ibiki just sighed and allowed me to get in. " so? who did you have to babysit? " He asked me. " lost kid and sunshine boy." I answered.
"lost kid?" - ibiki
"yes. If you want more info, ask Inoichi. " -Akito
" tell me." -Ibiki
"nah, too lazy." I said as I burn out my cigarette. I head towards the kitchen and got out some ingredients.
" Anyways, want anything for dinner? " I ask Ibiki. "Tempura? Miso soup? oyakodon? your choice."
Ibiki looked at me and said " oyakodon" I only nod and start to cook dinner.
