"Home. Right." Kakashi walked Naruto to the door. "Do you want me to walk you home? Its pretty late and dark." Kakashi leaned on the frame of the door.

"No, thanks for everything, but I can go back on m own." Naruto turned around and started running towards the castle. He looked back once and noticed Kakashi was still watching him. Naruto made a turn into the worn down parts of town and waited in silence for the time to crawl by.

"Yo, Kakashi!" Asuma waved at the tired man who was half asleep on his chair.

"What is it?"

"Where were you last night? We were all waiting."

"Oh yeah sorry I forgot." Kakashi leaned back in his chair. The cool air that entered over the wall pushed his hair back and cooled his skin.

"What made you forget?" Teased Asuma. "Dreaming with the princess?"

"Yeah." Kakashi rolled his eyes.

Actually he had been with Naruto for most of the night. He secretly hoped to see him again. Kakashi didn't quite understand it, but he had enjoyed the previous night with the young blonde.

The whole day he was distracted. He kept seeing soft blonde hair blowing about in the wind. He nearly jumped off the top of the wall when he saw girly pants on someone who was bending down. It wasn't him.

"How did it go Naruto?" Iruka wiped at his eyes and sat up as he saw somebody crawling in through the window.

"It was different than I thought." Naruto started undressing and folding his clothes.

"Any details? You seem kinda out of it." Iruka changed into his own clothes and handed Naruto a clean sleeping shirt.

"No, I didn't meet a girl. I met a very strange man." Naruto said almost dreamily.

"What did he do to you?!" Iruka yelled in alarm.

Naruto chuckled. "Nothing, Ruki." He muttered under his breath "Unfortunately."

"I heard that." Iruka sat next to Naruto and began tucking him in.

Naruto turned beet red and ducked under the covers.

"Iruka-kun, he was so funny. His house was really neat. I thought regular men were dirty."

"You went to his house?" Iruka was just curious now.

"Yeah. He locked himself out. So, he had to pick me up through the bathroom window." Naruto almost giggled like the girl he was supposed to be.

"I though you wanted to be with a girl." Iruka said a bit more seriously.

After some thought he replied. "I did too." Naruto drifted to sleep before Iruka could ask anything else.

"Night Naru-hime." He kissed his forehead and locked the door from the outside as he did every night.

The night breeze fluttered the curtains in Kakashi's house. He'd turned down Asuma's offer to go out this night as well. He sat clean and dressed by his window hoping Naruto would be back tonight. He wasn't dissapointed.

Again the boy was wondering out of the darkened corners near the main castle before the old abandoned village side. He was looking around the same way he'd been doing the day before. His hair was tied back a bit higher this time and he wore small sandals on his golden sunless feet. His shirt was the same style. Small and loose and about two centimeters too short.

Kakashi chuckled. He was wearing the girl jeans again. Kakashi opened his window and wolf whistled at the blonde. Startled Naruto turned around searching for the sound. He ran into the lit road afraid of being followed.

"Naruto!" Kakashi called still laying on his bed and facing out the window. He rested his face on his crossed hand which layed on the ledge. Naruto turned to the familiar voice. His face instantly brightened. He walked in a quick pace towards the window.

Naruto leaned down. "Hi Kakashi!" He started climbing in through the window over Kakashi's head. Kakashi only laughed.

"Come on in." He said after Naruto had removed his shoes and was laying next to Kakashi.

"I'm already inside." Replied Naruto cluelessly.

"That you are. So, did you come to see me?" Kakashi sat up on his bed.

"Yeah." Naruto blushed at the thought. He'd left without Iruka's permission. He had climbed down the tower on his own and escaped without help just to get to Kakashi's home.

"Quite honestly, I've been sitting here for the past 3 hours. Just to see if you'd come by again." Kakashi looked at the blonde.

"Hey can you cook?" Naruto stood up and started leading the way to where the kitchen should be.

"I can cook." Kakashi followed close behind.

"Then what are you making cause I'm hungry!" Naruto took a seat on the floor and crossed his legs indian style. While he rocked himself he held on to his tiny feet.

"Well, you don't look like you eat much, so I'll make a salad with some grilled chicken."

Naruto stuck his tongue out at him. "What about some steak and then we can have cake!"

"Vegetables?" Kakashi surveyed his fridge. It was empty.

"Yeah." Naruto peeked in between Kakashi's legs and noticed the vaccant space. "Lets go shopping." Naruto sat back down before standing up.

"What's open?" Kakashi put on his shoes.

"I know a place. How fast are you?" Naruto slipped on his sandals and they started their way to the castle's kitchen supply room.
