The sun was just rising over the tree tops when Kakashi woke up. He groaned at the tenderness of his body; even so, it was a good pain, he thought as he smiled happily. Iruka had taken him two more times after the first mating. It freaked him out when they knotted but Kakashi was growing use to the idea. Iruka made sure to be gentle each time when taking him; it made his heart beat faster just from the memory. Iruka had given him very good proof at his abilities as a lover and mate.

Kakashi opened his eyes, blinking them to get the sleep out. He was tired and still sore, granted, but something felt amiss. After clearing his eyes, Kakashi looked around the den that was now his and Iruka's. There was one problem: Iruka wasn't there. Kakashi looked every possible way with no sign of the brown wolf. Kakashi whimpered his distress, not understanding what could have prompted Iruka to leave him so soon after claiming him.

If it was any other time Kakashi would have thought of a logical explanation but his emotion were all over the place at the moment, and not being able to sense his mate near by scared him to death. Kakashi closed his eyes and whined pitifully, wanting--needing--Iruka near him again.

"Kakashi?"

The younger wolf snapped his head up at the sound of his mate. Kakashi opened his eyes and sagged with relief at seeing Iruka right in front of him.

"Iruka."

It was all right. Iruka was there, in front of him, standing with the sun light blaring down against him. It was a beautiful sight and one Kakashi would always remember.

"Kakashi?" Iruka asked stepping closer to Kakashi. "What's wrong? You're crying."

Kakashi was taking back by the statement. He didn't know he was crying. Great, Kakashi thought sarcastically, Now Iruka's going to think I'm a crybaby.

"N-Nothing..." Kakashi cursed his stutter.

Iruka wasn't buying it and got even closer to Kakashi; nose to nose. "Why don't I believe you?"

"Don't know." Kakashi stated. "Why don't you?"

Iruka narrowed his eyes at the smart comment. "Because I think you're lying."

Kakashi didn't answer to that.

"Are you going to tell me what's wrong now?" Iruka asked gently.

"No. You'll laugh at me." Kakashi turned his head, unable to face Iruka.

Iruka gave a small smile. "Nothing you say is going to make me laugh at you, Kakashi, especially when it makes you cry."

"I-I felt abandoned, okay?" Kakashi blurted out averting his eyes to the ground. "I felt that you had left and that you weren't going to come back." He put his paws over his face.

Iruka eyes softened at the confession. He gingerly nuzzled Kakashi's face trying to comfort his new mate.

"It's okay Kakashi," he purred. "I'm your mate now; I'm not going anywhere."

Kakashi sighed. "I know that but I couldn't help but feel..."

Iruka chuckled, making Kakashi glare at him.

"You said you weren't going to laugh!"

Iruka couldn't help it; he chuckled again.

"That is true," Iruka said. "I said I wasn't going to laugh but I chuckled. There's a difference."

"Don't care." Kakashi grumbled, turning away from Iruka. "You still made fun of me."

"Oh, Kakashi," Iruka gave the younger wolf a lick on the cheek. "Don't be mad about it. Every newly mated wolf goes through this."

Kakashi peered over with an eye not willing to truly face Iruka. "They do?"

"Of course." Iruka backed away from him and turned, as if to leave again.

Kakashi felt that same fear return as soon as Iruka walked away. He felt that Iruka was walking out of his life and wasn't coming back.

"See?" Iruka said without turning around. "You have the feeling I'm leaving and not coming back, correct?"

Kakashi nodded dumbly though Iruka didn't see it. Iruka's back was turned towards him.

"I was hoping that you would still be asleep by the time I got back but I guess I was wrong." Iruka continued as he picked up something from the ground.

"What's that?" Kakashi asked, squinting his eyes trying to see what Iruka was holding.

"Food." Iruka said, his voice somewhat muffled by the rabbit in his jaws.

"Was that why you weren't here?" Kakashi asked, feeling incredibly stupid.

Iruka nodded and walked over to Kakashi. He dropped the food right in front of him and laid down next to Kakashi.

"I knew that you were going to be in some pain and would be too tired to move much. So, I went out to catch some food for you." Iruka explained.

Kakashi blushed in embarrassment. "Sorry."

Iruka smiled and gave Kakashi a lick on the nose. "There's nothing to be sorry for. Your feelings are that of any other wolf who has just been mated; it's natural."

"Doesn't make it any less humiliating." Kakashi mumbled.

Iruka laughed softly. "It's fine. Now eat."

Kakashi glared at being ordered, but the effect was ruined when his stomach growled loudly. Iruka couldn't help but watch in amusement as Kakashi looked away as he nibbled on the rabbit.

"I need a bath." Kakashi announced suddenly after he swallowed his first bite of the rabbit.

"Alright," Iruka told him. "Once your done I'll clean you."

Kakashi shook his head. "I don't mean that. I meant like in a river or something."

"That's not going to happen for a while." Iruka said.

"Why?" Kakashi asked giving a suspicious look.

"You have so much to learn Kakashi." Iruka sighed thinking of all of the things needed to be taught to this young wolf.

Kakashi bristled at the comment. "What's that suppose to mean?"

"Well," Iruka started. "I won't let you leave. My instincts won't allow it. For the next couple of days, I want only my scent on you and no one else's. Meaning you can't go near anyone or anything unless I say so."

Kakashi glared at the brown wolf in front of him. "That's not fair. I'm sore, I'm tired, and I'm covered in God-knows-what-kind-of-filth. I want a bath."

"I know." Iruka stated nodding his head. "But you're going to have to go through somethings that might be unfair and down right scary for you."

"Like this?" Kakashi said softly, not understanding.

"Yes." Iruka said equally soft. "It's a mating thing. I don't want anything around you except me. After a couple of days you can start seeing other wolves again, but right now I want you in the den; as close as possible, if you have to stretch your legs. The point is, I don't want you far from the den."

Kakashi was not liking this. He was down right pissed off! He had just had the most wonderful night and Iruka had to go and ruin it with his rules.

"I can't accept that, Iruka." Kakashi fought.

Iruka watched sadly as Kakashi fought with himself and couldn't help but be sorry about everything, that was happening but it was the wolf way; if Kakashi was going to be part of the pack and his mate, Kakashi was going to have to listen to him.

"I know this is hard for you, Kakashi, but it's my way of protecting you." Iruka tried to reason. "For all we know you could be with cubs at this moment, and I won't let anyone--including you--get in my way of protecting them."

Kakashi was taking back by the statement.

"Cubs?" he whispered.

Iruka calmed down and nuzzled Kakashi again. "Yes, Love: cubs."

"Am I?" Kakashi couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know yet." he said sadly. "Give it three more days and I'll know for sure; until then, we can only assume that you are."

"I-" Kakashi's voice caught in his throat. "I don't know if I'm ready."

"You're not." Iruka said it straight, hurting Kakashi's feelings. "But I'm willing to help you through it, and if you are--after we're sure of it--I'll let you see the others again. You can ask Gai, Baki, and even Anko for some help. We are all going to be there for you, Kakashi. You're not alone in this."

"Thank you." Kakashi said gratefully. "But it's going to be hard. I don't have the slightest clue of what to do."

"Kakashi, you have to start out small." Iruka said giving his advise. "First I still need to teach you how to hunt better. We are going to have to hold-off fight training for awhile, though. I don't want you to get hurt if you are with cubs. And most of it deals with instinct. It will come to you the more far along you are and the more protective I'll be."

"Oh goody." Kakashi rolled his eyes. "I can't wait for an even more over protective mate than what I already have."

Iruka chuckled at the comment. "It happens. Just wait and see. Before you reach full term, I won't let you move without my permission."

"Can't wait..." Kakashi sighed, with no small amount of sarcasm.

Iruka laughed at that. This is what he loved about Kakashi the most. There was just something about him that made him warm inside. It was a nice feeling and Iruka would do anything to keep it. Calming from his little high, he went back to looking at Kakashi.

Said wolf was pouting at him. The warm feeling intensified.

"I love you." Iruka closed his eyes and licked the pout off Kakashi's face.

Kakashi became flustered at the sudden declaration coupled with the affection. He felt his heart speed up and felt butterflies in his stomach. It wasn't good enough to know that they belonged to each other. Kakashi leaned into the lick kisses that Iruka was giving him. The half eaten rabbit forgotten between them. Iruka showed his affection to Kakashi by continuing his lickings, giving little nips here and there.

It wasn't enough.

Iruka knew that if this continued he would have to take Kakashi again. The good part it, Kakashi didn't seem to mind as well; Iruka wasn't going to give up that chance if his life depended on it!

Anko paced the medical dens, waiting impatiently. She and Asuma had gone to the medical dens in hopes to be there in time to catch Minato before he woke up. The she wolf couldn't help but smile as she thought about last night. She was so happy for Kakashi and Iruka.

She and Asuma were walking in the dens. Both of them were heading for the medical dens.

"Do you think Iruka and Kakashi are going to be okay?" Asuma asked Anko in the medical dens. The two of them had just started their watch for Minato to wake up.

Anko smirked as two howls echoed from deep within the dens.

"I think they're going to be just fine."

Asuma copied Anko's expression after the momentary shock wore off.

"I think I have to agree with you."

Anko snorted. The look on Asuma's face had been priceless.

"What are you laughing at?" the dark wolf said.

"I was just thinking about how your face looked last night." Anko told Asuma.

The older wolf tensed at the remainder and shuddered.

"That's one thing I didn't have to know." he commented.

Anko laughed lightly. "I know, but at least we know that everything went well. It's one thing we don't have to worry about."

Asuma nodded his head in agreement.

"I couldn't agree with you more." he said. "Now, though, we have to deal with him."

Anko glared over at the sleeping Minato. "He is not going near either of them; especially Kakashi."

"Indeed. As of last night, he has no claim to Kakashi."

"You're damn right he has no claim!" Anko yelled, not caring if she woke Minato up or not--hell, she wished she could wake him up early; it'd serve him right. "That bastard almost destroyed them!"

Asuma could only nod.

A silence surrounded them, neither wanting to continue the line of conversation. Anko was staring at the den wall while Asuma was staring at the ground. The silence was deafening but neither spoke. It was when a struggled moan broke out did they remember where they were. Anko ran into the recovery area, quickly followed by Asuma. They knew what that moan meant.

Minato was waking up.
