"Oi! Where you off to now, pervy sage?" Naruto called following after Jaraiya.

"...just...going to check up on a friend of mine is all..." he shrugged.

"...Hmmm... is it Akebara-san?"

"Yeah, how'd you know?"

"...You worry about her a lot, huh?"

"What of it?"

"...Do you like her?"

"What you...? How dare you even imply...!" Jaraiya began, his cheeks dark red. As they neared Akebara's cabin, a large grey wolf bounded up to them.

"Jaraiya-sama! Thank god you've come!" he cried.

"Ken-san? Is there something the matter?" Jaraiya asked.

"It's Hime-sama! She was taken!!" Ken barked.

"Taken?! By who?!"

"I know not, but the place reeks of the snake!" he growled.

"Damn..."

"Wait! What's going on? Who's this 'Hime-sama'?" Naruto began.

"There's no time! We must tell the hokage!" Jaraiya replied.

Kakashi blinked lazily as he watched Izanami climb out of bed.

"Something wrong?"

"No...I just have a bad feeling...my scars have been aching as of late, always a bad omen" she replied pulling on her underwear.

"...Are the kids up yet?" he asked glancing at the clock.

"No, still asleep"

"Then come back to bed" Kakashi said, patting the empty space beside him. "The world won't come to an end just because the great Anbu Izanami spends an extra hour in bed with her husband"

Izanami paused to smirk at him, "...Can you last that long?"

"Let's find out" he grinned, pulling her down for a kiss. Kakashi grinned, rolling her underneath him, their eyes met and she turned her head.

"...I told you not to look at me..."

Kakashi took her face in his hands.

"You are my wife, the mother of my children, the most beautiful woman on the face of the earth"

Izanami's pale cheeks lit an attractive crimson and she pulled him down for another kiss.

"...mmm Kakashi!" she purred as he kissed her neck. The telephone rang.

"...Ignore it..." Kakashi whispered.

"...Hello?" Izanami sighed, picking up.

"...I meant the phone not me" he sweatdropped.

"Hokage-sama?...yes, we'll be right there"

"Duty calls?" Kakashi sighed as Izanami got out of bed again.

"You get up, too. Tsunade-sama wants both of us, call Anko and see if she'll babysit"

"...Yes ma'am..." he sighed again. Izanami snuck him a glance, her hands went behind her back to unfasten her bra.

Kakashi was riveted. Slipping out of her panties she started towards the bathroom.

"I'm going to take a shower...care to join me?" her voice was a sensuous purr. Nodding dumbly, Kakashi scrambled out of bed to join her.
