Naruto took me to "his" home. Somehow, over this past week, Naruto had become quite at home in his body. While I sat down on the couch, Naruto went and made some tea. My head was still spinning.

"Kurama...is it true...this is really my Naruto?"

"Fucker, do I look like a lie detector?"

"Why have you been so testy lately?" I needed to address this issue before I dealt with the blonde issue in front of me.

"I'm lonely, you fucker. You are pleasant and all to talk to, sometimes, when you aren't being a self-absorbed douche...but I miss a woman's company." I swear, he had his arms crossed and was pouting like a child. Nevertheless, I could understand his pain. Being alone was not a good feeling.

"I'm sorry, Kurama." I was truly apologetic. To have been alive this long, and then to have been without a partner for so long...it would be difficult.

About then, Naruto came in, setting a tray down and pouring some tea, handing me a cup. Settling down next to me, he snuggled against me as I wrapped an arm around him. Turning my head so I could see him, I leaned my forehead against his and closed my eyes. "I never thought I would see you again." I confessed quietly.

"Huh? But...you did...I was here...you were dating me…" Naruto said confusion in his voice.

I smiled at him. He didn't experience an alternate me, so he didn't understand the differences. It was true that I loved "this" Naruto. It was inevitable...he was my soulmate. However, my life, my history, my memories...they were with my Naruto, who now was sitting next to me. It was not unpleasant with the new Naruto, but it was different. I hadn't felt complete until now.

"Naruto, do you remember that black cat you had when you were about six?" I asked.

Naruto's face softened and he smiled. "Yea. Kazan."

I smiled. "Right. Kazan. Well, Kazan had littermates, right?" Naruto nodded as he stared at me. "And if I remember correctly, Kuro was another boy, who looked identical to Kazan and was very active and playful, just like Kazan. Right?" Naruto grinned and nodded, thinking back. "And you loved them both...but they were different, weren't they?"

Naruto nodded. As I stared expectantly at him, recognition finally dawned on Naruto's face after a few minutes. "So I wasn't the same here as I was back home?" Naruto asked.

I shook my head. "No. Here you got to live with your mother and father...so your life was very different here."

Naruto shook his head in understanding. "I understand. I've already met mom and dad, and introduced myself, as I knew they'd need a reason why I died and came back. I didn't know how much I missed them until I got them to hug me. Kakashi, they held me sooo tight." Naruto whispered, a tear slipping from his eye.

I leaned over and kissed his tear away. "I'm glad. Now you can get to know them."

"Yea…it's going to be awesome. We can go over and have Sunday dinners and everything. I finally get to have my family…my whole family." His content face was gorgeous. I hated to break up this moment but…

I cleared my throat. "Um…Naruto, I have to go back to the Akatsuki."

"Well, yea, right...of course you hav...what the HELL? You are NOT going to the Akatsuki, Kakashi? What the hell are you thinking?" Naruto about yelled and I winced. His very loud mouth was right next to my ear. Struggling, he moved until he was facing me.

"Naruto...a great deal is different in this timeline." I sighed. As Naruto crossed his arms and looked at me, I knew I would have a great deal of explaining to do. Which I would do. After Naruto explained his travels to me. "Look, I will explain my history in this timeline as succinctly as possible after you explain to me how you got here." I looked pointedly at him. He frowned, but relented.

"Fine." The blonde huffed. Settling himself on the couch and motioning for me to lay down with my head in his lap, I did so. As he started running his fingers through my hair, his eyes got a faraway look.

"Well, your body crumpled in front of me. Sakura said you died. She said there was poison in your system, but not enough to kill you. It was as if your soul just...disappeared. I felt so...lost...so alone after you were gone." Naruto whispered, his voice filled with pain, his eyes still far off. "I had no idea how to explain to Kiki...she loved you so much." As he looked down, he caught my eyes and smiled softly. "I tried...I really did. That is when Matatabi told me what had happened. She could sense that Kurama was no longer in our timeline, and she had felt a shift right about the time that you died. Putting that with your weird actions right before that, I figured you had cooked something up with Kurama. While I was happy you were alive, I was miserable I wasn't with you." Swallowing hard at the memory, Naruto shut his eyes.

I said nothing, just lying there and waiting for him to continue. Finally, he opened his eyes. "I became Hokage, Kakashi...just like I said I would."

My heart swelled with pride. I knew he would become Hokage, and he would be one of the greatest...nay, the greatest. "I knew you would. You are amazing."

Naruto smiled gently at me. "Shikamaru was my advisor. I tried to make sure I would make you proud. But I never gave up on trying to figure out a way to find you. I never got with anyone else. I did become a little bit more withdrawn, only spending time with Kiki and Matatabi." Swallowing thickly, I felt Naruto's mood shift more morosely. Patiently, I waited.

"I didn't know Kiki was sick. By the time she told me, it was too late. She wanted to give me a gift, and had convinced Matatabi by that time as well. She convinced Matatabi to let me become her container and to fold time. Getting Sakura to help with the sealing jutsu took more convincing, but Sasuke finally convinced her." Looking into my eyes, he said nothing else.

As I stared into his pools of blue that would make the oceans jealous, I gripped his hand. Shaking his head as if to clear the memories, his eyes focused on me. "Your turn." Nodding, I sat up. I started explaining everything I could; the shadows grew long outside until my stomach growled in protest at its empty state. Getting up, we continued the conversation in the kitchen over salad and spaghetti. This felt oddly deja vu ish...but before I was explaining the other timeline to the other Naruto.

When I finally stopped, I looked over at Naruto. I didn't know what he would say, especially about Konan, when he had stayed celibate. "Huh. I didn't know you were bi."

I looked up. "That's all you have to say?"

Naruto smirked. "Yep. Talk can be overrated...and I've waited seventeen years...BUT I get to be back in a teenage body, so that'll make up for it." He waggled his eyebrows. I shook my head, trying not to smirk. I really am a horny old bastard...he doesn't even have to touch me to affect me. I was getting hard just thinking about him.

I got up and walked over, grabbing his head and pulling him into a heated kiss. As he melted against me, I kissed him deeper, becoming uncomfortably hard. "Kami I've missed you Naruto. So much." I murmured, pulling him to me. I heard his breath come out in shaky gasps as I felt him grab onto me.

"Kakashi…" I looked into those blue eyes I never thought I'd see again. "I love you."

I smoothed his cheek and kissed him gently, savoring the moment. "I love you too, Naruto. More than you can imagine."

Naruto raised an eyebrow. "Really? Because I can imagine you making Jii do a jutsu to cover your name, you taking a demon into you, traveling through time to save me and then just about killing Orochimaru. If Kabuto wouldn't have drawn your attention away, you would have killed Orochimaru." Naruto pointed out.

"Shush." I murmured, kissing his neck, trying to distract him. It seemed to be working as I heard him murmur and felt his head fall backwards. He ran his nails across my back, sending pebbles across my skin as I growled low in my throat and latched onto his neck, kissing, nipping, and sucking fiercely. Feeling his arousal, I pulled back and picked him up.

"It's been far too long." I rasped. As Naruto held onto me and nodded mutely, his blue eyes dark, I headed to the bedroom, carrying him to me bridal style. Laying Naruto on the bed, not giving him a say, I stripped him, running kisses over every bit of skin I could see. His tan skin was so warm, and there was that smell of sunshine. As Naruto arched his back towards my lips, I couldn't help it when my lips curled into a smile. Leaning back, I teased my lover, letting my tongue lick gently, but pulling away when Naruto seemed to be thoroughly enjoying it.

"Kakassshhhhiiiii…." Naruto moaned, intertwining his fingers in my hair, trying to force my lips back to his nipples. Smirking, I avoided them, kissing on his chest. I could feel his hard cock poking into me. Reaching down, I gently started stroking him as he hissed, his eyes rolling back in pleasure.

"Yes, Naruto?" I asked chidingly. "What is it you want?"

Grunting, Naruto's eyes closed and he just started moving in time to my hand. When I finally slid my mouth down and enveloped him, he let out a loud yell, bucking his hips towards me and shoving himself further in my mouth. I thanked Kami for my lack of a sensitive gag reflex. As he started fucking my face, for lack of a better phrase, I pulled back. His head shot up as he looked at me pleadingly.

"K...kakas…" he started.

"Maa….my love, patience." As I leaned over and dug through a drawer, I found what I was looking for. Pulling the bottle out, I coated myself rather generously, and then worked and stretched him so it would not be painful for him. Positioning myself over him, I smiled down at him. I had to claim him again;...my cock ached at the thought. After stretching him until he agreed he was ready, I slid in, gently, seating myself until he was ready to move. As I started sliding in and out, I quickly found that bundle of nerves that made Naruto cry out and cum within fifteen seconds. Of course, I wasn't far behind.

He may have been in the body of a teenager, but I was in the body of a horny old man...therefore, once was not enough. I ravaged my blonde until the sun came up and he begged me tiredly to stop. Curling up with him, pulling his back to my chest, I fell asleep, thanking Kami for giving me this chance.

My nose was itching as hair tickled it. Opening groggy eyes, I realized it was late afternoon, judging by the sun's positioning out of the window. Stretching, I rolled on my back...and realized Naruto wasn't in the bed. What the hell…Getting up, I went to the bathroom. No Naruto. However, I had to relieve myself, so…

Heading back into the bedroom afterwards, I heard the padding of feet. "Hungry?" I heard that voice I loved ask as he brought in a tray with some sushi and pineapple juice. Eyeing his naked body hungrily, he laughed self-consciously. "Not for that...I'm surprised I can walk now. Food...real food…at least first." His impish grin made my heart happy. He nodded at the food on the tray. My stomach loudly confirmed his thought. I got into the bed; laughing, he handed me the tray and then got into bed with me. As he situated the tray, I noticed that I liked the way his hair stuck up at odd angles. He definitely looked good with bedhead. Both versions of it…

We sat, eating, just enjoying each other's company. This...this I could do until the end of time. This would never get old.

Finally, after we were done eating, Naruto crawled up and laid his head on my chest. As we lay there just enjoying each other's company, Naruto finally broached a serious subject. "We've got to stop Orochimaru...he won't quit until he's defeated. We have to stop the Akatsuki too...I don't want them coming after you to bring you back. But...I may have an idea that will kill two birds with one stone..."
