"Kiss me. Make me feel safe. Make me forget... Make me fall for you." She wasn't sure what possessed her to say those words, but she knew that she needed an new anchor in her life and she didn't mind if it was a stranger as long as he cared enough to try.

Kakashi stared at her, she looked like she was about to cry again, her voice trembled like her body.

He had his orders, and he would carry them out flawlessly. "Hai." He said as he leaned down and sealed his lips over her own, stealing her breath.

(***************************************************************************************************************************************************************)

The first step to securing Uzu as his mate was to go slow, let her get used to him. Ask her questions, and let them be answered. Suprisingly enough she didn't really have many questions aside from where Kakashi, his animal self was. Oddly enough the only thing she did when he told her the truth was feel of his tail and his ears, make a humming sound and sit back down before asking some other things.

Like how old he was. What kind of things he liked, and then asked him if he wanted something to eat. To say that Kakashi was pretty amazed by how adaptable she was, would be an understatement.

He took his time and answered her as best as he could, sitting down on the floor next to the couch as she sat up. "Age."

"Twenty four."

"Blood type."

"Type O positive."

"Likes."

"Nice things. Like walking around the local park, feeding the birds, playing games, like catch, and bad mitten. I like playing checkers and chess too."

"Sounds fun."

"It is."

"Do you need to go outside often?"

"Not really. I'm house trained just like an other normal person so I don't need to unless you want me to go out with you. Or when I go to my job."

"You have a job?" She sounded like she didn't believe him, he understood her skepticism. It wasn't every day that an honest to god wolf man ran around the city in broad day light. Not unless a horror movie was being filmed.

"Yes. I work at several different places. Three to be exact-" He did it so that he would be able to support himself and him mate once he had one. He had very few needs, and a huge amount of money that he hadn't touched.

Both from his jobs and from the government officials that had created him. "A Halloween store, a cos play host club, and I sometimes do modeling and acting jobs." But he wasn't telling her what kind of modeling and acting jobs since it was a bit embarrassing. Uzu blinked at him and reached out and ran her finger tips along the soft fur of his left ear, causing it to twitch under her fingers. He shuttered and leaned away from her hand so that he wouldn't get distracted by her touch.

He needed to stay calm, and as strange as it may seem, her touch had a way of causing his hormones to go crazy on him. He found it very hard to control himself. "Does my touching your ear bother you?"

"No." Sort of.

"Do you have anything else that you need to tell me? Any weird habits? Compulsions? Medical illnesses?"

"I sometimes have to leave because I need to hunt, so if you wake up one morning and find a dead bird or rabbit try not to be too shocked. Medical illnesses...I don't really have any but I do go into heat for three weeks every four months or so. It's mainly because I don't have a mate yet and should change once I do have one, since it would be bad to keep going into heat like that around my mate. Her health would suffer. Compulsions...I have way too many of those and I'm not always able to control them."

"Give me an example."

He turned his head and looked at her out of the corner of his red eye and licked his lips. "I feel compelled to mark what's mine-" Uzu gave him a funny look and he blushed. Actually fucking blushed. He hadn't blushed since he was ten! "Not. Like. That." He did not feel compelled to piss on the things he wanted to mark, that was just stupid, self destructive and was a huge, huge turn off with the oppisit sex.

"I mean..." How should he explain it? He couldn't really think of any words to explain his need to mark what was his, so maybe a small demonstration was in order. He twisted his body around and looked at her again, his mis matched eyes flickering to her face.

"It's easier to just demonstrate what I mean." He explained as he looked at her.

"Oh. What do you feel you need to do?" She asked curiously, her ruby colored eyes staring at him, unblinking. She had eyes like a cat, he mused as he reached out and pulled her shirt from her shorts and tugged it up just above her breasts, he found it interesting that she was wearing a sky blue satin bra with little pink polka dots, she gripped his wrist and his eyes flickered to her face again.

"Too much?"

"More like too soon." He nodded in understanding and pulled the fabric back down so that only her stomach was bared to him. He was having to remind himself that she wasn't the kind of female that he was used too, the type to just fall into bed with him. She was fresh out of a serious relationship, she was vulnerable and hurting and part of her didn't want to risk her heart. The other half of her didn't want to hurt him by getting into a rebound relationship. But damn if the woman didn't impress him by being willing to give him a try.

"Better now?"

She nodded her head and he smiled and leaned in so that he could lick her skin. She made a funny sound and tangled her fingers in his hair and he opened his mouth and scraped his fangs along her side. She jumped and squirmed, her breath catching in her throat as his mouth closed over the skin on her side. She made a strangled shrieking sound as she clapped her hands over her mouth and felt his fingers grip her hips in an effort to keep her still.

His eyes flickered to her face and he lifted his head just a bit and grasped her wrists and pulled her hands away from her mouth and kissed her, his tongue slipping inside of her mouth easily, he licked along the roof of her mouth, her tongue, sliding deep and then retreating. Over and over again. Demonstrating how he would love her with his body, and drinking the soft sounds of arousal she was making before breaking the kiss to press his lips against her neck, sucking at the skin until she had a few more nice reddish purple marks then sat back on the floor and curled his tail around his waist, draping it across his lap to hide his erection.

She sat there panting, her ruby eyes glazed as she straitened her shirt with a hand that was much too shaky for her liking and took a shuttering breath before looking at him again. Their eyes met for a second before she looked away suddenly too embaressed to speak.

He licked his lips, tasting her on his tongue as he said. "That's just one of the things I sometimes feel compelled to do. So if I corner you in the shower or while cooking or something, try not to think badly of me for needing to do such things."

Uzu nodded her head but still didn't look at him. She wanted to tell him that she doubted that she could think badly of him. But she wasn't sure that her voice wouldn't come out weak and shaky so she stayed quiet and laced her fingers together in her lap in an effort to stop her hands from shaking.
