Hello mina-sama! I will now apologize... gomenasai. I know its been a while. Now listen to my excuses. So, I was nauseous for 3 weeks. I was only eating about one meal per day for those three weeks. I went to the doctor and they said they'd pill me up for that. On that same visit I was told I had an infection in my kidneys. So, I got pilled up for that too. After those problems were taken care of I got sick. I had a cold for a couple of days. I was at the hospital the Friday before last. I had some sinusitis deal, so I was pilled up again. For the last 4 days I've been ... well bleeding internally. So, I just got over my sinusitis and yesterday I had to return to the hospital. I was there and they have pilled me up YET AGAIN, to stop the internal bleeding. We don't know why I'm losing so much blood, but the good news is... I finally updated. Sooooo, I def. apologize for the late update, but at least now you know way more than you ever needed to know about my health. Oh yeah and my rib hurts. Near my chest.
warning: shonen ai ...
I do not own Naruto series/manga, but if I did I think I would like to animate this story cause I'm so in love with it. Since I'm at home for a couple of days I think I'll treat you guys to a double update. :) That and I think I owe you all.
Please Review do it for the dying author... lol okay fine just do it cause I love it. :)

Naruto couldn't deny Kakashi anymore. He looked down at himself. It was for certain he was ready. Kakashi hadn't dared to touch Naruto's hardening erection. Naruto reached Kakashi's left hand and guided it to the soft blonde hair that grew below his stomach.
"Naruto, I want to see you." Kakashi stopped kissing Naruto's back and stood back up. He would rather stop before they both did something they may later regret.
"Why'd you stop?" Naruto covered himself with his small hands as best he could and turned to face Kakashi. "I thought you wanted to." Naruto looked up at Kakashi's uncovered face and noticed a small red blush on his manly face.
"I did.-- I do!" He quickly corrected. "You are so young, I just don't want to rush you into anything." Kakashi was smacking himself internally. Naruto was the one who had stepped into the shower. Naruto was the one who was naked. Naruto was the one tempting him. Why did he care so much?
Naruto sighed. Its not that he felt pressured, but knowing Kakashi was willing to wait made him feel loved and not just desired. "You're sweet," Naruto reached up to hug Kakashi. His wet arms slid up skillfully to the back of Kakashi's neck and pulled him down to Naruto's level. "you old pervert." Naruto let Kakashi's hand wrap around his waist. Kakashi let a chuckle slip out. Their lips met and small shocks traveled down Naruto's body once more. "I love you, you know? Even if you don't believe me." Naruto moved his face back to see Kakashi's reaction.
"Maybe I'm starting to believe you." Kakashi turned Naruto to face away from him. "Lets finish this up and we'll go swimming, okay?"
Naruto reached for a sponge and soap. "Sure." He lathered up the sponge and started washing himself off. Kakashi could only look at Naruto. He washed so delicately and patiently. Aside from being terribly aroused at the sight he felt a warmness come over him. He wanted to see this everyday for the rest of his life. He really wouldn't mind having Naruto move in with him. He loved him, but he'd have to let him go soon. Even as he reminded himself that this wasn't forever, his heart would not obey. In truth, Kakashi was in too deep.
Before Kakashi realized it Naruto was out of the shower and drying himself. "I'm going to your room." Naruto's smile was still present as he turned to open the door. "Hurry up, Kakashi. I'll grant you that request to look at me." Kakashi nodded. Naruto winked and added. "Completely."
---Morning Lesson number two---
"Naru-hime! I'm tired of having to wake you up every morning!" Sasuke stood over the bed shaking Naruto gently. "I will begin this lesson with or without you, princess." He knew very well he couldn't do that, but maybe the threat would work.
"Wah! Sasuke-sensei, I'm sore. Let me sleep." Naruto flipped over on his back and pouted noticeably.
"Why would you be sore?" Sasuke lifted his eyebrow and took a few steps back to watch Naruto's reaction.
"Umm, 'cause--"
"Because." Corrected Sasuke.
"Because I was doing push-ups yesterday night." Naruto was a horrible liar.
"Right. Well then now that you're awake lets begin with lesson number two." Sasuke uncovered the board which already had all the lessons for the day.
"Cutlery? Seriously sensei?" Naruto stood up only to sit down at his tea table.
"Yes, how else will you eat?"
"With my hands." Naruto smirked and waited for that vain to pop on Sasuke's forehead.
"Not today Naru-hime. We have a lot to get done. Your parents have insisted I cut short the etiquette lessons. In fact our whole schedule has to be changed. As of today we only have 19 days until the ball." Sasuke continued to speak about the party and the schedule while Naruto's mind wandered off to his own thoughts.
I only have 19 days left with Kakashi. Maybe I can pick him to marry me. What if he's not that serious? As his thoughts rushed through his head Naruto felt a pain in his chest. Every time he thought of Kakashi not being with him he felt a tug at his heart. Suddenly a rise of nausea caused him to gag.
"Naru-hime! Are you okay?" Sasuke stood up and offered him a glass of water.
Naruto finally snapped out of his trance and took a large gulp of water. "I'm okay. I was just thinking."
"Oh, about the schedule? Its not so bad. I'll make it simple for you to understand and remember." Sasuke stood and headed towards the board. "We have 19 days left of classes. For the next four days we're going to have to practice and learn basic form and proper procedures. That will leave us with 14 days to work. For another 4 days we have to work on dancing. Your parents just informed me you never had formal lessons with Iruka, so that will also be my job. After that we'll have only 10 days. The seamstress needs to see you for a fitting and she will require the entire day. Unfortunately for us that makes our time shorter. You'll get to pick the colors and flowers for the party on that day as well. For the 5 days after that we will have to do dress rehearsals. We will eat every meal together and dance in the afternoons, but you will have to wear a dress similar to the one you will wear at the ball. Its quite large so you must learn to act comfortably in it. That and to get used to the heels. You will get a 2 day break and the last two days must be spent practicing on your own because after that it will be the real thing."
Naruto's face was wide in surprise. His mouth hung open for a couple of seconds more. "That was making it simple, sensei?"
"Yes, actually." Sasuke erased the timeline and began to write the day's objectives.
"Sasuke-sensei, could I marry a knight?" Naruto stared at his dirt filled finger nails. They still had small sand particles in them from the night before.
"I don't see why not. Your parents haven't changed the rules. You can pick anybody." Sasuke finished drawing on the board and removed his ruler from his bag. "Why the question Naru-chan?"
"I was just wondering. I've seen a knight that I like." Naruto's face grew hot.
"Where?" Sasuke asked suspiciously.
"Just outside. I saw him from the window." Naruto whispered. He hoped Sasuke wouldn't see through him.
"They all look the same from up here." Sasuke looked out of said window. "Just tiny specks that shimmer in the sun."
"Not those." Naruto pointed directly across the kingdom. His window was at the perfect height to glance at the moat and castle wall. He could see Kakashi leaning on his chair and occasionally looking down at the people below. "Him, Sasuke-sensei." Kakashi's silver hair moved with the wind and his smile could be seen even from so far away. Even with his mask on Naruto could tell his smile was there. Asuma was there too. More than likely to tease him about the night before.
"He's handsome." Sasuke moved away from the window and took a seat on the bed.
"You think so?" Naruto looked over to his teacher and raised his eyebrow.
"I've seen him around the cafeteria once or twice. He's a sweet guy or so say the people he commands. He's our top knight by the way. Number one in all of Konoha. His name is something weird with a 'k'. I think his name is Karashi." Sasuke had a look on his face as if he were deep in thought.
Naruto burst out laughing as soon as he heard 'karashi'. "Karashi?! As in masutado?" Naruto grabbed at his stomach. His laughter came in waves until tears were at the corners of his big blue eyes.
"I said 'I think'." Defended Sasuke.
"Who would name their kid mustard, Sasuke-sensei?" Naruto looked across to Sasuke.
"A lot of people. You would be surprised. Actually, you know what? I think it was Kitsune, Kichibashi, no something like Yashi, Kuki, hmm Kukiyashi?" By now Sasuke was mumbling to himself. Not knowing really bothered him.
"Its okay, sensei. I'll ask him when I see him." Naruto was in pain from laughing so much. He didn't need anymore fuel for his fire.
"Right. Well there you have our schedule. So, try to get good sleeping habits because this will be intensive." Sasuke stood up and returned to his favorite spot, the front of the room with his ruler.
"Hai!" Naruto leaned back in his chair and stared out to look at Kakashi. He could only imagine what they were talking about.

"So, are you going to finally tell me what's going on with the girl?" Asuma lit up another cigarette and leaned on the opposite wall from Kakashi.
"Nothing is going on." Kakashi looked across to the mysterious tower and he could have sworn he saw blonde hair.
"Right. That's why you have pretty little girls showing up at your house, at all hours of the night, if I may add. She is a cute little one. How old is she? Thirteen?" Asuma's teasing grin grew with each question.
"Naru-chan is 17 for your information. I like her." Kakashi sighed. "I love her. A lot. I'm going to lose her Asuma." The mood had suddenly changed.
"Why do you say that?"
"I already told you. She's engaged."
"Then steal her heart and make sure she'll stay with you. I mean if you love her so much it can't be that hard to make her fall for you. You're a handsome grandpa." Asuma smiled kindly towards his friend.
"She's in my mind all day. I want to talk to her and see her. I want to hold her. I've only known her a couple of days and yet she has my everything." Kakashi was thinking more to himself than talking to Asuma.
Asuma whistled. "Sounds like you have it bad. Who is she marrying? Maybe we can help you out."
"I'm not sure. I don't know much about her family." Kakashi stood up and leaned to stare down at the masses. Maybe he'd see him down there. Maybe he'd see Naruto's long blonde hair today.
"Why don't we do a little research then?"
Kakashi sat down on his stool and reluctantly agreed.
