It was about two in the evening when he hard someone banging at his door and tried to burrow under the pillows to block out the sound. Who in gods name would dare to wake hm when he hadn't slept for more than-he glanced at the clock and growled threateningly. The sound vibrating in his chest, sounding low and feral to his own ears. And maybe that was because he was feeling feral right now.

The lack of rest coupled with the sexual tension that had been eating away at him for the past few days was finally starting to get the better of him. Not even his precious porn and cancer sticks could calm him now. Only she could calm him. Only her touch and her kiss, and her voice could call back his sane mind; which was a problem since he was currently climbing out of his nice warm bed (yes he was more tha a little pissed about that. he had been having a nice wet dream for god's sake!)and storming down his hall way, not really caring that he was naked from the waist up or what the neighbors would think if they saw him in his current state.

He reached the door and threw it open and glared at his grinning brother in arms. A fellow fighter unit like him, Asuma was one of a kind. And he was a dead man if he didn't wipe that damn grin off of his face right fucking now.

"What in gods name is the matter with you?" Kakashi asked in a mean tone that would have sent a lesser man running for cover. Asuma however didn't read anything into it, he just grinned at him even more.

"Well Wolf, are you going to let me in?"

"Sure, and while I'm at it I have a nice deep hole in my garage floor that I want you to climb in." Kakashi snapped irritably as Asuma laughed at him and pushed him aside so that he could enter, making sure that he had both of Kakashi's hands pinned to the wall as he walked inside. He was crazy, not stupid. Not that it would really matter much. If Kakashi really wanted him dead he would die, there was no way to stop it, prevent it, or even see it coming.

Kakashi glared at him as he walked in, making sure to keep his back to the wall so that Kakashi wouldn't try anything funny. He wasn't called Wolf for just any reason. He was as brutal as he was cunning. "Why are you here?" Kakashi asked curiously as he pocketed the switch blade knife that he had set down on the small table just inside the door and followed Asuma into the living room, thinking about how nice it would be to shank him in the kidney and leave him to bleed out on his living room floor while he went back to bed.

"I heard from a little birdy that you have a new master. So is it true?" Asuma asked excitedly and Kakashi's expression softened at the mention of his lover.

"Holy shit it is true. So tell me, what's he like?"

"S'not a he. Uzu is a girl." Kakashi said as he ran his hands over his face tiredly, missing the way Asuma's jaw dropped an he stared at his silver haired brother.

"A-Aren't you gay though?" Asuma blurted out, and Kakashi let his hands fall away from his face and just glared at him. Obviously he was'nt gay, or so he believed after he had used one of the sketches of Uzu to relieve himself several times. So he was Bi. That wasn't really an issue. Most people in the world today swung both ways.

"No."

"Bi then? Cool. Your new lover must have been a really good girl to luck out like this."

Kakashi gave him a funny look as he moved toward the kitchen to make some coffee. "What are you talking about?"

"Just that your the most talked about piece of ass on the meat market today. Everyone is clamoring to find out who your new master is-"

Kakashi groaned, of god this was bad. He had a several ex-masters that would love to get their hands on him again. If any of them found out about Uzu.....

She'd be dead by the end of the week. Damn my dad for his shitty sex appeal and crappy genetics."I wish I were an ogre." Kakashi muttered as he banged his head on the counter a few times. Asuma snorted as he laughed. He seriously doubted that being an ogre would help Kakashi any. He was the most sought after and rare fighter unit in existence.

"I----don't think that would help you any." Asuma said with a sympathetic look on his face.

Kakashi stopped banging his head on the counter and glared at him, "How many people know about Uzu so far?"

"Not many. Tsunade knows. And so does Sakura an her fighter unit Lee-"

"Fantastic, two women who just can't keep their mouths shut. I might as well start looking for a tombstone for Uzu today." Kakashi said as he threw his hands in the air as Asuma cringed. He really didn't want to tell him that Anko knew about the kid and was already out looking for her, but he needed to know what he was up against.

"I was'nt done Kakashi-" The silver haired man stopped his rant and turned to look at him again, a sinking feeling settling in his stomach, making it churn and lurch dangerously.

"Anko also knows, and she's already looking for Uzu." Asuma said gently and watched as Kakashi's already pale face became even paler and his legs gave out and he sank to the floor in his kitchen and started mumbling something almost hysterically as he reached up and used the counter to get back on his feet and took off down the hall to his room slamming the door closed behind him as he grabbed a clean shirt and an old pair of torn jeans and quickly changed and then went over to his closet and pulled out a chest full of weapons and pulled out two glocks and at least seven clips of bullets for the guns and loaded them in a pouch attached to his gun belt, and put some other things in the other pouches and stood up and fastened the belt into place around his hips as he walked out of the room and used a rubber band that he had grabbed while in the bathroom to pull his long hair back into a loose ponytail and pulled on some shoes sitting next to the door then turned and looked at Asuma.

"Go tell Tsunade and Sakura that I may need to come and see them later."

Asuma looked slightly alarmed, he hadn't expected Kakashi to react like this. This was just stupid. Suicidal even. "Hey wait, what are you going to do?"

Kakashi looked over his shoulder at him, "Whatever it takes to keep her safe." He would not bury another person that he loved. Ever.
