SS's Notes: Behold the KakaNaru! –insert evil laugh here--

Previously on Soundscape…

Then as quickly as the kiss started, it ended, and clear cerulean stared into dark onyx as the two ninja caught their breaths. Kakashi's lips curled slowly into a warm smile as his fingers untangled themselves from Naruto's golden locks and lightly traced the curve of his cheeks.

"Wait for me, and I'll come for you…" he said gently.

"I'll wait…" Naruto whispered, "For as long as I have to, I'll wait… Because I love you…"

Kakashi's smile widened. "I'm glad. Just wait for me, and I'll come home to you, because I love you too."

He leaned down, brushed his lips lightly over Naruto's once more, then pulled away, and pulled up his mask and stepped out into the sunshine. Naruto followed the jounin as far as the gate, and watched as Kakashi stepped out of the safety of Konoha and into the forest.

A single tear fell from cerulean eyes, unheeded…

Chapter 28: Wandering

"Would it make you fell better if I followed him?"

Naruto closed his eyes and turned and walked away, opening his eyes to reveal a slowly turning Yochigan as he paused briefly beside Jiraiya.

"Do as you like."

"Have faith then, Naruto, and I'll make sure he comes home safe."

Naruto closed his eyes and walked away. He opened his eyes after a few steps to reveal the normal azure blue.

"Thank you, and be careful…"


In the shadows, a pair of dark eyes narrowed.

Sending the Toad Sannin to shadow the Copy Ninja…

It seemed that the Oracle was more aware of Danzo-sama's plans than they thought.

He would have to alert Danzo-sama…

He darted out of the shadows and pulled up short to find a pair of Yochigan eyes staring at him.

"Kageyomi…"

And with the whisper, the interloper knew no more...


Naruto stared impassively down at the disabled ninja.

"What to do?" he murmured. "Shall I kill you and hide the evidence, or shall I force you to defect and then hunt you down like the dog that you are? Or shall I bring you before the Hokage for endangering and plotting against a Konoha Ninja or do I bypass the Hokage entirely and simply bring to Ibiki? What to do?"

Naruto sighed, and cerulean lines of chakra spread from beneath his feet to form the emblem of the Oracle with him and the downed ninja in the center. The emblem glowed and with a quick surge of chakra, a barrier shot up. Once the kekkai was set, Naruto stepped away and walked right through the barrier. Several ANBU had arrived, having sensed the chakra surge.

"There is no need to worry," Naruto said calmly, "return to your posts."

"Are you sure, Takusen-sama?" an ANBU said cautiously.

Naruto's lips curved into a wry smile. "If you would rather stand here and watch that man sleep, then do as you will." And he vanished in a swirl of leaves.


Naruto was surprised to find Hyuuga Hanabi in front of his gate when he arrived at his home.

"My greetings, Takusen-sama," Hanabi bowed, "I am Hyuuga Hanabi. I wish an audience with you."

Naruto kept his face carefully blank. "Enter then, and be welcome."

He led the way into the house, and held the door open for Hanabi, taking the chance to scan the street. He spotted Neji who tilted his head at him, and Naruto inclined his head slightly in recognition before entering the house and closing the door behind him.


Across the street, Neji leaned against a wall, blending into the shadows as he set himself to await Hanabi's departure from the Oracle's home…


Naruto stepped inside, and Hanabi started in surprise to find her sister calmly setting a tea tray on the table.

Hinata straightened and said, "I heard something interesting in the market today, Naruto-kun."

Naruto frowned. "Now is not the time."

"Yes, yes, because Hanabi wants an audience with the Oracle, but aren't you glad that he took the initiative?"

"Things like that rarely end well where the Oracle is oncerned."

Hinata smiled serenely while Hanabi looked from the Oracle to her sister in confusion….

TBC …

Totally Random Babbling: Ok, really, really short chapter. But I do wonder what Hanabi is doing?
