Lola- Has anyone ever told you to mind your own buisness? Cause if not I think it's time someone finally did.

What I write, when I write, and why I write down every idea that comes to mind- are none of your concern.

I can excercise my creativity any damned way I like. And FYI, Kakashi's is super cool in every story I read. Do you know how hard it is to keep him in character and work in other aspects of his personality that have never been seen before?

I like shy Kakashi. Awkward Kakashi. Sarcastic Kakashi. And even animalistic Kakashi. These parts of his personality are rarely displayed and deserve to be explored as well as his super cool side. Because without them, he's just another horribly boring character that looks cute in a mask.

As for Naru, she isn't always weak. You're just make judgments before exploring the possibilities fully.

Furthermore I don't appreciate you saying that I'm a nuisance just because I'm creative. Especially during the difficult time I've been having lately; so fuck off.

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

After a quick breakfast (which Naru actually ate without complaint this time) Kakashi led her out of the hotel and into the semi crowded streets intending to keep his promise about buying her some new panties to replace the pair that he now owned. They walked out of the bustling buisness district of the town.

And into the shopping district where Kakashi subconsciously took her hand in his, to keep her close, as they wove their way in and out from between the people littering the streets.

They walked for what must have been twenty minutes or more trying to work their way to their destination while trying to ignore the way their bodies occasionally brushed up against one another. Naru's shoulder brushed against Kakashi's bicep causing goosebumps to raise along the skin of his arm.

He looked down at her from the corner of his eye and wondered what was going through her mind at this exact moment.

Naru felt a little odd about holding hands with her wolf. Sure holding hands had been fine when she'd been a tyke but that was considerably different from holding hands now that she was an adult. She glanced up at Wolf-er Kakashi- damn!

Why did she keep thinking of him as Wolf instead of Kakashi?

It just didn't make any sense. Sure, Wolf was one of the most physically beautiful men she'd ever seen with his fallen angel beauty, and those eerie wolf like clever/savage/adoring mismatched eyes. But things like outward appearances had never made her feel subconscious before.

So it had to be something else that was causing the peculiar fluttering sensation in her stomach. Right?

Well look at you stealing glances from the corner of your eyes like some kid with his first crush. Kakashi thought as they walked. The crowd thinned a little bit around the time they reached the shops. Mainly because only one or two of the stores were open at this early hour.

Kakashi stopped walking outside the shop he'd been planning to buy her new panties at and glanced at his watch. It was fifteen to opening. Which meant that they had a few minutes to kill. Awesome. Now I have to fill the silence with awkward conversation. Kakashi thought as he dropped his hand for a moment and then looked down at Naru who was leaning against the building next to him, looking bored.

He let go of her hand and slipped an arm around her shoulders and sort of pulled her up against his side. "We have fifteen minutes to kill."

"Okay."

"Do you wanna talk?"

"Not really."

Oh thank god. Kakashi thought in releif as he leaned his head down a little bit and kissed the top of her head. "Wolf... Do you know what it's like to like someone?" Naru suddenly asked in a tentative tone.

He blinked and looked down, trying to see her expression but couldn't. Her hair was in the way. But he could tell from her tone that this was something that bothered her a bit. Though he didn't understand why. "Well that's a good question, I guess. But I'm not terribly sure which sort of 'like' you want to know about." He said gently.

"The kind that causes fluttering in your stomach."

Kakashi jerked his head up so quickly that he hit it on the beige colored brick wall behind him and hissed both in pain and in annoyance as he said. "Ohhh."

Well that was a mite more specific. But he didn't want to touch this subject with a fifty foot pole. It felt...well, weird to even be talking about this subject with her even in passing. And then there was the fact that he didn't know what he'd do if he found out that she liked someone. It would make him feel as if someone were stealing her from him all over again.

Still some part of him couldn't help but feel curious about why she would bring the subject of attration up in the first place. If nothing else he'd learn something new along with who's kneecaps he was going break later on. "Is there someone that you get that fluttering feeling from Naru?"

"Before I answer- Could you tell me what the fluttering feeling means?"

He blinked. She was kidding right. Everyone from the age of five and up knew what that fluttering feeling in their stomach meant when they like liked someone. He stared down at her for a moment trying to gauge whether or not she was joking and gave up when she gave him a confused look. Oh dear god in heaven- She really didn't understand!

She had been in the care of one of the legendary medic nins in the known world and didn't even understand the most basic of human biological urges! He wasn't sure if he wanted to laugh or cry at this point.

But he could certainly understand where she was coming from now. He sighed and used one hand to partially cover his face and rasped in an gruff sounding tone. "Okay. I get it. Tell me when you started to feel this 'fluttering' feeling and I'll do my best to explain what you don't know."

"I get that feeling when you hold my hand." Naru said almost shyly and Kakashi dropped his hand away from his face and turned his head so that he could give her a slightly panicked look and could have kicked himself when Naru looked down at her feet and asked in a small voice. "Is that a bad thing?"

Kakashi was too stunned to speak. Let alone answer her question so instead he simply grasped one of her hands and slipped it under his shirt and pressed it against his stomach to let her feel what her presence had been doing to him all morning. And was a little bit startled when he felt her arm jerk in his grasp and looked down at her to see the sweetly curious look on her face as she felt the peculiar fluttering sensation centered around his abdomen.

"You too?" Naru asked innocently.

He nodded his head and rasped. "Yeah."

"What does it mean?"

"It means that I'm going to be holding you're hand and kissing you a lot more in the near future."

"Oh." Naru said before they settled into a comfortable silence.
