Chapter Nine: Kurama's Brother
Naruto woke up to the sound of a heartbeat in her ear and was confused on how she would hear a heartbeat when she doesn't remember falling asleep. Naruto opened her eyes and saw that her head was laying on a pale chest that had no shirt on; once realizing that her whole face turn red that rivals a tomato. She sat up a little bit and saw that it was Kakashi, once she saw him her face turned even more red; she slowly moved his arm to get out of bed and replaced herself with a pillow so he wouldn't wake up.
Once she got up she walked out of the room and closed the door behind her gently not wanting to wake him up. Naruto went to the simple living room and saw how he had once couch that was dark grey, a small television, and a tall bookshelf that has a lot of books that he started to stack them right next to the shelf. She walked towards the stack and saw that it was erotic books that her godfather writes, 'Wonder how he will feel when he figures out that I know his favorite author personally.' Naruto thought before moving on to the books in the shelves; not seeing anything interesting she moved on to the kitchen that is connected to the living room.
Opening the fridge she found some stuff to make a simple and quick breakfast for them; she grabbed the eggs and butter, then looked in the cabinets and found the bread. She made omelets for the both of them with the bread in the toaster; she got out the milk, orange juice and the coffee creamer that she found in there when she knows that he doesn't like anything in his coffee. While getting the table set up she heard Kakashi moving around in the bed, 'Probably waking up.' Naruto thought before moving on to moving the food to plates.
Kakashi woke up to a delicious smell but couldn't think of who could've made it when he smells Naruto in here; Kakashi opened his eyes and saw that he wasn't cuddling with his mate but the pillow she was laying on. Kakashi got up and walked to the door, he put his ear up against it and heard cooking and the smell of coffee. He opened the door and walked towards the kitchen seeing Naruto put two plates on the table he hardly uses then went to fill up two mugs of coffee and set them at the table before she finally realize that he was watching her the whole time.
"Good morning." Naruto said with a smile.
"Morning" Kakashi said with a small yawn which made Naruto giggle a little.
"I made breakfast for us." Naruto said gesturing to the table.
"Smells delicious," Kakashi said moving to see two omelets four toasts that was cut diagonal with a small bowl of cinnamon so if he wanted he could have cinnamon toast, two empty glasses with the jug of milk and carton of orange juice on the table, and two mugs filled with coffee, "looks good as well."
"Thank you," Naruto said moving towards the table with a small blush on her face, "I made your coffee how you like it and I didn't know if you wanted cinnamon on your toast as well so I brought the bowl over as well; now I'm not saying you have to have it if you don't wan-"
Naruto was stopped by Kakashi kissing her on the lips; her eyes widen in surprise but slowly closed them and kissed back. Kakashi was the first to pull back but not too far and so he could look into Naruto's eyes and saw love and happiness in them which brought a smile on his face. "Shall we eat?" Kakashi asked walking Naruto towards the food and pulled out her chair for her. Naruto nodded her head and sat down and watched Kakashi go over towards his side of the table and sat down; they both started eating and talking small talk with Naruto still has the same look in her eyes and a small blush on her face.

After eating breakfast and washing the dishes Kakashi and Naruto curled up on the couch cuddling up to each other, sharing the same blanket, and watch the snow that was falling outside the window when Kakashi's cell phone started ringing. He looked at the caller ID with a confused look on his face.
"Do you know this number?" Kakashi asked showing the number towards Naruto.
"Yes I do, but I wonder how he got your number." Naruto wondered while grabbing the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey Naruto how is my favorite little niece?" A male voice asked on the other side of the phone.
"Shukaku, why are you calling me when I know how you don't like 'Him' very well?" Naruto asked.
"I am calling because Gaara and his siblings are busy and can't pick me up at the airport and I'm not angry at my brother anymore believe it or not but we made up."
"Yeah I don't believe you because if you made up with him you would call him or your other siblings to pick you up, I mean if he didn't answer than you have seven other siblings that could offer you a ride."
"Awe come on Naru, the others are on vacation, Kurama is with his wife and you're the only one that I know is not busy."
"Sigh, fine I'll come get you just give me a few because I'm still in my pajamas then I'll come get you."
"Okay that's fine still waiting on my luggage so take your time."
"Okay see yeah then." Naruto said then hung up.
"Who was that?" Kakashi asked.
"Shukaku, he's a friend of mine's brother and Gaara and his sibling's guardian. He is like an uncle in a way to me but I haven't heard from any of them since after our graduation to high school but I know he is still in touch with Gaara the most since he has always been protective of him the most." Naruto explained while getting up.
"So what are you going to do?" Kakashi asked.
"Well it seems everyone is busy so I have to go pick him up from the airport and probably drop him off at Gaara's apartment or Kurama's." Naruto said walking towards Kakashi's room.
Kakashi started to follow her so he could talk to her better when it dawned on him that Naruto said her ex boyfriend's name.
"Wait, you mean Kurama as in the same Kurama that dated you then broke up with you a few days later." Kakashi asked worriedly.
"Sigh, yes Kakashi that same one. But don't worry he's married." Naruto said putting on Kakashi's blue jeans that she grabbed off of his floor.
"But still do you remember what he did to you." Kakashi said.
"Yes I remember Kakashi but you wouldn't understand on how our relationship works besides he's a better person now." Naruto defended.
"Okay fine, I'm sorry I didn't know he still meant a lot to you still." Kakashi said looking away when Naruto changed her shirt to one of his dark red ones.
"Is that jealousy I hear?" Naruto asked.
"So what if it is?"
"Well then maybe you can be a good boyfriend and let me borrow you car of you can come with." Naruto said with a smile on her face while walking towards the front door.
It took Kakashi a minute to realize what she just said then walked off towards the living room and saw her putting on her high heels.
"I'll come with you; I don't need any other men that are at the airport to hit on my girlfriend." Kakashi said putting her hair in a ponytail for her.
"Well then lets go" Naruto said.
"Hey I still need to get dressed." Kakashi said running off towards his room realizing that he was still in his pajamas with Naruto laughing in the background.

The baggage claim was not as packed as it was with people getting on the planes. Naruto looked for her "Uncle" with Kakashi standing next to her wearing dark blue jeans and a light grey shirt that is hidden under his black winter coat.
Kakashi looked for someone who what he thought would be Kurama's brother; while looking he saw a man with messy sandy-brown hair walk towards them. "Hey Naru, who is this?" The man asked when he got closer to them. Kakashi got a good look the man he was wearing a dark grey winter coat with blue jeans and black worker boots. The man has unique color of yellow, tan skin, and the same height as Kakashi.
"Shukaku this is my boyfriend Kakashi; Kakashi this is Kurama's brother Shukaku." Naruto explained.
"Boyfriend eh? Well it's nice to meet you young man." Shukaku said extending his arm.
"Like wise." Kakashi said ignoring the young man comment and shook the other man's hand.
"Come on we'll drop you off at Gaara's apartment so you can get used to winters weather since you've been in Egypt all this time." Naruto said leading the boys out of the airport.

"Is there a reason why Shukaku came here all of a sudden?" Naruto asked with her phone on her shoulder while she was cleaning the kitchen.
"No, he hasn't said anything yet but don't worry I will get some the answer sooner or later." A male voice said on the other side.
"Well please hurry I'm very worried about it since the only time if he ever comes here he lets you know so you aren't busy so you can get me Gaara."
"Don't worry about it nine, I'll figure something out to get him to talk."
"Please hurry, for some odd reason I feel like we will soon get a family reunion soon with all of the siblings and it has to do with something about that ritual that happened."
"Will do Naru; hey I got to go they are back and I will give you the answers when I get them."
"Okay bye Gaara"
"Bye"
Naruto hung up her phone and put it in her pocket then went back to cleaning her apartment that she hasn't been in since she was a little girl and since then it has been overrun by dust and cobwebs.

"You imbeciles, you guys are impossible to work with. How hard is it to catch a raccoon?" Kaguya said looking at her minions that took possession of the gang known as The Unseen.
"Well it seemed like he knew this was going to happen so when we got there he wasn't there." One of them said.
"IDIOTS, I'm working with Idiots!" Kaguya shouted angrily then felt for their energy. "It seems like they are going to one area, this is perfect; so it seems like you guys can redeem yourself after all."

Kakashi was walking up the steps to an old worn apartment that his girlfriend used to live in when she was younger. He couldn't imagine a life living here and all by herself on top of it. He reached his the apartment door seeing how the numbers were painted orange on purpose.
He knocked on the door a couple of times only to have the door swing open a little bit; he thought it was weird how she didn't close it all the way. He opens the door slowly and called out for her, "Naruto?"
"I'm scrubbing the tub, make yourself at home." Naruto yelled from the bathroom.
Kakashi looked around the small apartment; the living room, kitchen, and bedroom were all in one room. Her walls were white with looks like red-brown stains that she probably couldn't get out, some dents and cracks on the walls with ramen posters trying to cover them up but it seems like it didn't work all that well, their was a twin bed with orange cream and white bed set on it that looks new so she must of brought that with her, the living room has an old loveseat with an old television set in front of it and a empty small bookshelf, the kitchen was smaller than his and looked old and out of date.
'Why would anyone put a child to live in this place?' Kakashi wondered.
Naruto walked out of the bathroom whipping her hands with an orange towel then said, "I know it's not much but most of it is in my new apartment, but this is still home to me but I'm cleaning it out and going to give back the keys to the landlord as much as it pains me since this place has so many memories, but now I'm ready for new ones to add in my other apartment."
"That is true but are you really going to leave all of this stuff here?" Kakashi asked.
"Yeah, I have new stuff and they can do whatever and that bed set is old it looks new because I've never opened it from the package." Naruto said while rubbing the back of her neck out of habit.
"Understandable, so this is the place you came back to every single day?" Kakashi asked.
"Well not all the time, sometimes I went over to Sasuke's or my grandfather figure's place." Naruto said putting her towel with her bag of cleaning supplies.
"Who is your grandfather figure?" Kakashi asked.
"Hiruzen Sarutobi." Naruto answered.
"Wait, the mayor of this town is your grand father figure?" Kakashi asked shocked.
"Yeah, but I can probably shock you again if I told you who my god father is." Naruto said with an amused smirk on her face while leading them out of the apartment.
"And who is that?" Kakashi asked curiously.
"Oh just your favorite author that name is Jiraiya." Naruto said laughing at Kakashi's expression.
"Wait what, you know him?" Kakashi asked.
"Maybe" Naruto said with a smirk leaving a shocked Kakashi behind.

"So what happened?" Gaara asked.
"I got on the next flight and had Naru bring me here. But I must warn you, they will be after all of us and when I mean all of us I mean all nine tailed demons and The Risen Demons as well so be cautious when you are leaving the comfort of a public area." Shukaku warned.
Gaara nodded his head the said, "I will warn the others and since Itachi survived the ritual and has yet not awakened I will have Sasuke keep an eye on his older brother just in case."
"Just be careful of who you trust from now on Gar Kaguya is not someone you want to mess with on your own." Shukaku said while taking a drink of his beer bottle.
"I'll tell the others as well. But for Naruto I know that Kakashi will protect her but we know how stubborn she is and she won't let him protect her unless she is either injured or pregnant." Gaara said after taking a drink from his beer with Shukaku nodding his head.
"Kurama is going to try and hide Naru since she is his kit and doesn't want her to leave the den and Inari will only think about the future kits and puppies that she will spoil." Shukaku said with Gaara and him laughing about the imagine that popped in their heads.
To be continue…
