When Naruto presented over the summer it was both the best and worst day of Kakashi's life. The best because it meant all his secret pining wasn't for nothing, and the worst because Naruto, an innocent ball of sunshine who'd been all but ostracized his entire life, was ignorant of the kind of attention he was receiving from literally every alpha in a thirty foot radius.

Lust filled eyes followed Naruto down the street, on the beach, in the park, in the library, to the bathroom - Kakashi was having trouble not punching every alpha who looked the blond's way. One of them actually tried to touch (to which Kakashi swiftly snapped his wrist then played dumb). Upon seeing his face (his hair really) the prick's mouth clicked shut.

Because in a world where secondary gender meant everything, Hatake alpha's, wolves, are unmatched in sheer dominance. And while Kakashi doesn't throw his status around, he will in regards to the little blond who's followed him around since he was born.

"Kashi!"

Even if he is an annoying sunshine-y brat.

Kakashi grunted when 124 pounds of omega flopped on his back. "Wake up you lazy wolf!"

Kakashi reared his head and pulled his phone from under his pillow, squinting at the brightness. It's 6:30 now. He showered last night, but did he set an outfit out? You could always wear sweats, a little voice whispered in the back of his mind as his eyes drooped.

Groaning, he dropped his phone when it got too heavy, and buried his face back in his pillow. He hates Mondays.

"Kashi, wake up." The blond whined. "You told Dad, you'd take Mondays." He did? Fuck.

"Fuck." He swore (completely missing Naruto's shiver). He turned over ignoring the dramatic yelp from the blond and sat up flicking his lamp on. Resisting the urge to collapse back into his sheets, he stood up and stretched.

"I'll be in the car at 7." He yawned.

"Can we get Chic Fil A?" He asked as Kakashi scooped him up and put him on the floor, completely use the to manhandling treatment.

"Do you have Chic Fil A money?"

"No but you do." Kakashi promptly mushed the boy's face in an effort to avoid the puppy eyes being thrown at him.

He wasn't fast enough.

"I'm stealing your spongebob hoodie." Naruto states. States. He gets no respect.

"Get out of my room..." He does not whine, pushing at the blond's back. "...you bothersome child."

Naruto pouted as he was steered out the door, blue eyes still on the yellow jacket hanging off the closet's doorknob. "But-"

Kakashi reluctantly goes back and snatches his hoodie from the door. "It's not even clea-"

"Thank you." Naruto cut him off, hugging the hoodie to himself and running back to his room. Kakashi blinked, then put it out his mind. It's too early. For anything.

xXx

An hour later Kakashi finds himself finishing a chicken biscuit as he drove back in the direction of Konoha High School.

"I still don't remember agreeing to this." He mumbles, more awake than he was earlier, and not remembering saying 'yes' to Chic Fil A or his hoodie or anything that happened before food.

"Well you did! And even if you didn't, it's too late to go back on any of it now!" Naruto's grin is blinding. How is he so awake?

"Whatever." He grumbles, taking a swig of orange juice to wash his food down as he pulls into the parking lot. "You got everything you need right?"

"Yeah."

"And you know where your classes are?" He glances at the blond, catching his nod.

"I think so. If I need help, I'll text you."

"Good." He says, glancing around through the windows. He caught sight of Mizuki, an alpha junior, and grabbed Naruto's hand before he could open the door. "You remember what Minato and I told you over the summer about alphas right?"

Naruto hummed his agreement, following Kakashi's eyes to the grey haired ninja by the school doors. He makes a mental note to keep his difference from that one. "Older alphas tend to pray on fresh meat omegas. My scent on that hoodie should ward off most, but if one of these assholes bother you and don't back off, you tell me, got it?"

Naruto nodded, returning the serious gaze Kakashi gave him, biting his lip to keep "yes alpha" from slipping out his mouth.

"I'll be careful Kashi. Promise."

The verbal response calmed the alpha a lot better. Kakashi ruffled Naruto's long hair and Naruto, yelped, swatting his hands indignantly. Unfortunately the blond isn't strong enough to stop that one wrist even with both his hands and Kakashi didn't stop until it was thoroughly ruined.

"What was that for?!" Naruto shrieked pulling down the cars mirror.

"My personal enjoyment. Now get out my car."

When Naruto steps out the car, he is mostly ignored—until Kakashi steps out. His distinctive, gravity-defying, hair always made him easy to pick out in a crowd. He also had another growth spurt this past summer, making him stand out further. Being a head taller than most had its perks, but his knees still hurt like hell.

"You wanna hang out with me and Obito or do you see someone you know?" He asked, locking his doors as they walked through the parking lot.

"Obito's here?" If it was anyone else, Kakashi would be jealous of how Naruto's eyes lit up, but he knows the maddening year he's going to have with Obito and Naruto in the same vicinity as him. Mostly because those two social butterflies will plot to drive him insane.

But still, one more person looking out for Naruto is worth the headache.

"You bet your sweet ass I'm here!" Speak of the devil...

"Tobi!"

"Naru!"

They're so loud, Kakashi whined in his head. And it's so early, why me?

As they hugged, as if they didn't see each other two days ago, Kakashi scanned the massive courtyard. Girls and guys alike waved at him, but he could count one hand how many he actually acknowledged.

"Awe you didn't buy me anything?" Obito whined to which the Kakashi threw the third bag of food at his face to make him shut up faster.

"You love me!" Obito shouted, smiling unrepentantly, at the chilling glare Kakashi was sending him. He knew his friend wasn't a morning person or a people person and shoving both in his face was Obito's favorite pass time.

It could also be a good diversion when your more hound than human friend could smell emotions.

But when Kakashi's glare changed gleams, he knew his distraction failed.

"What's wrong with you?" Kakashi asked, getting an answer almost as soon as he finished asking.

"Oh so this is where the mutt went."

Mutt? Kakashi glanced behind Obito. There was a group of pale skinned, dark eyed teens a little ways from them. Definitely Uchihas, but which ones, Kakashi had no idea. Nor did he care.

He examined them briefly. They had to be freshmen alphas. No one's bothered Obito here for years. They know better.

"I'm sorry who are you?" He asked shoving his hands in his pockets.

"We're Uchihas." Their 'leader' said, stepping to Kakashi as if he isn't over a foot taller than him.

The Hatake waited a moment for their first names. When he didn't get them, he rose a brow. "Your parents weren't kind enough to give you a name?"

"Didn't you hear me?" Oh, this one is arrogant. "I said we're Uchihas."

"So that's a no on the first names then." A vein popped out the kids forehead and he heard Naruto muffle a snicker behind him.

"We don't have to tell you our first names-"

"Thought you didn't have any-"

"Because our last name is all you need to know." He finished clearly trying his best not to snap, but Kakashi wouldn't be himself without his unhealthy need to get under everyone's skin.

" . . .what's your last name again?" The alpha growled, eyes flashing red. Obito and Naruto stood ramrod straight him, but Kakashi was utterly unaffected.

"U-chi-ha." He sounded out through gritted teeth.

"Oh~ I get it now. Uchiha must be an important name or something." The alpha calmed a bit, thinking Kakashi finally understood. "And your parents decided a first name wasn't worth the trouble."

Smoke steamed from the brat's ears.

"No! You idiot! We have first names-"

"Then use them." Kakashi suddenly growled to which all the boys stiffened. "Because unless your name is Shisui, Itachi, Obito, or Sasuke no one gives a fuck about your last name here."

As if on cue the bell rang snapping the boy's out their trance. The Uchihas — god that would be in head all day — glared him down proving that they had not learned their lesson and that they'd be learning it the hard way in the near future.

Kakashi rolled his eyes, tugging his two omegas ahead of him, making them lead him inside incase the little shits tried something. His conscience is clear, good deed for the day done. Whether (those little fucktards) the Uchihas take his advice or not, he could care less.

And if they came for Obito again, or Naruto, beating a minor won't be the worst thing he's ever done.

"Thanks Kashi." Obito nuzzled his cheek and Kakashi flushed red at the sudden physical affection. Naruto burst out laughing.

"You look like a tomato!"

Kakashi changes his mind. He hates omegas and wants nothing to do with them. "Get away from me."

As predicted they don't listen and Kakashi's stuck walking down the hallway with two omegas. One on each arm.

"Kakashi-senpai!"

Make that three omegas. "Yo Tenzo." He scents the omega's hair in greeting (since he can't hug him) and the brunette practically melts. It's not unusual for omegas to migrate towards him. Not because of his status, but according to Tenzo, the omegas have declared him their alpha safety blanket.

Naturally it's Obito's fault.

It was weird since Kakashi made his dislike of humanity clear freshman year, but then Tenzo went on to share stories of his gentlemanly actions (stories that Kakashi doesn't remember telling him) along with some rules that Obito assured never failed him his entire life, to the entire omega student body.

1. Trouble with alphas? Find Kakashi.

2. Touch starved? Find Kakashi.

3. Distressed? Find Kakashi.

4. Suddenly start heat? Find. Kakashi.

On the wall in the omega club room, rule number four is in red block letters and underlined three times with Tsunade's signed stamp approval and everything.

Said rules really made him question Obito's mental stability - especially upon finding out they weren't just examples - but Obito reminds him every time that he's fine—because he follows his own advice.

Like this morning with the Uchihas (bleh-).

Rule #1: Trouble with alphas? Find Kakashi.

("Rule #5: Hungry? Find Kakashi."

"Do I look like a fucking food cartel—")

(Also to anyone wondering, Gai finds it most youthful that his rival takes care of so many omegas. It was said with more tears than words, but Kakashi got the gist.)

Tenzo buried his face in Kakashi's neck, inhaling his scent like it was a drug. Kakashi didn't say anything, just dropped his head on top of Tenzo's, growling softly. They are definitely going to talk about whatever's troubling him later. More than likely it's Danzo's fault.

When Tenzo finishes, he flushes.

"It's fine." He says before an apology passes the brunette's lips.

Tenzo smiles softly at him. "Thank you senpai."

The brunette walks off looking a lot less pale than when he approached.

Ten paces later, Iruka arms are around his waist, clinging to him for dear life and Mizuki is suspiciously walking the opposite way. Inwardly Kakashi groaned, though he was careful not to let his emotions slip into his scent.

It's 7 in the morning.

The bell doesn't ring for another 20 minutes—at least.

So why does it feel like he's got a full plate of bullshit to deal with already?
