Sorry about changing this chapter around so much. I'm trying to keep Kakashi in character.
(*******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************)
Kakashi staggered forward and almost rammed himself face first into a tree trunk before realizing that he wasn't in the hotel room anymore. He turned his head and looked around, suddenly gripped with panic. Where was Naru? Was she still back at the hotel?
A hooded figure stepped out from behind a tree several feet away and he sighed in relief and started towards her when he heard Naru rasp. "Stay there and keep your hands to yourself." Kakashi stopped in mid step and automatically put his hands behind his back and just stood there staring at her as she slipped her hood off and sighed tiredly.
He started to step closer, to touch her. But Naru seemed to know what he was thinking and gave him a look that practically screamed, Stay back or I'll punch you someplace really painful. Kakashi made an irritated sound in the back of his throat.
"What's wrong?" He asked with a combination of worry and impatience. His body's demands still overshadowing much of his rational mind. Naru lifted her head and looked at him for a second and snorted before saying.
"Nothing and everything-" Kakashi frowned. Just what the hell was that supposed to mean anyways? How can nothing, yet everything be wrong? He wondered as he opened his mouth to ask why she wanted him to stay put when Naru cut him off. "That is a hell of a bloodline limit you have there, wolfy. When exactly were you going to regain your senses? Before or after you killed some innocent person? After you killed Jiriaya perhaps?"
"My senses? Bloodline limit? What bloodline limit?" Kakashi asked, another frown marring his features as he tried to think. He didn't have a bloodline limit. His only bloodline traits were the white chakra, silver hair, small sharp little fang like canines and a slightly higher than normal aptitude for hunting, tracking and killing.
So why had Naru mentioned a bloodline limit? And why did she think he had one?
He frowned again, his features twisting into a dark scowl. Why was he thinking at all? His thought process was still off and his body was aching in a way that made him think that his balls were about to explode. Shouldn't he be focusing on that instead?
Naru snapped her fingers in front of his face and he automatically grabbed her wrist as he looked down at her, a wolfish grin curving his lips. Ah this was better. Nothing felt better than direct contact between mates. Kakashi thought as he pulled Naru closer, intending to pick up where they had left off when Jiriaya had showed up but Naru planted her feet firmly on the ground and refused to let him.
She merely shook her head no and jabbed him in the chest with her finger tip. "No Kakashi. We aren't picking up where we left off. I need to know more about that bloodline limit of yours."
"I told you, I don't have one." Kakashi said as he pulled her hand from his chest and lifted it to his mouth.
Naru made a soft hissing sound and scratched the back of his hand, startling him out of his lust just enough to realize that she wasn't playing with him right now. She really did want to talk about this bloodline limit he did or did not have. He sighed and let her go and forced his body somewhat under control again and waited as Naru gave him an apologetic look (no doubt for scratching his hand) then asked.
"Are you so sure?"
(****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************)
Jiriaya had been tearing the town apart looking for Naru and Kakashi, his mind a whirl with questions. Why had Naru intervened? Did she really want Kakashi as he was now? Did she know something that he didn't about the Hatake's bloodline limit?
What was going on? Why had Kakashi sought Naru out? There must be a reason for his actions right? It couldn't all be the bloodline limit. There had to be more to it than that.
If this is why the council conned Tsunade into retiring Kakashi so that he could marry and rebuild his clan, then I can definately see the pro's of such a bloodline's continuation. The Sage thought as he leapt from roof to roof, his eyes anxiously scanning the crowd below for any signs of Naru and the Copy nin.
Kakashi, as wreckless as he was in his current state wasn't someone that just anyone could trifle with. From what Jiriaya had seen so far, he realized that if Naru hadn't have grabbed Kakashi and stopped him, then he would likely be laying on the floor of the hotel room. Broken and bleeding.
Kakashi hadn't seemed to be able to recognize him as his friend. All he'd seen was an interloper after his female. Of course he would react the way he had. Hatake's were ruthless, relentless and bloodthirsty killers when it came to the protection of their chosen mates.
But Naru wasn't his. Not yet.
Hopefully he could find them and place a suppression seal on the Hatake before he did anything more to Naru.
