"Kakashi. Baby, come here." He slowly walked over to her, confirming her fears. Son of a bitch! He had eaten the head, and other things. She could tell by the way that he was acting. He only walked ot her like that when he knew that he had done something wrong. But to eat over half of Orochimaru's body! That was just a whole new level of wrong.

"Dammit Kashi, tell me that you didn't eat your kill." She hissed as she grabbed him and turned his head, this way and that wondering how he could have managed to choke down so much tissue without her catching him. He lowered his head, his cute little wolf ears flattening back against his head, as he peeked at her from under his bangs. She growled at him warningly and he made a yipping sound and put his hands over his head and braced himself to be hit.

He nearly jumped out of his skin when she reached out and placed her hand against his cheek, and looked up at her with a startled look on his face. "Kashi, how could you? Do you even remember what happened to Kabuto when he transplanted some of Orochimaru's organs in his body? He became Orochimaru's new vessel. Do you want to be my enemy?" She asked softly, the concern and sad expression on her face was his undoing.

He made a low keening whine. He didn't want to be her enemy. He hadn't wanted to hurt her. He had simply been over excited about his kill and had taken things too far. She gave him a small smile and pulled him as close to her as she could and wrapped her arms around his body while she tried to think of what she could do to stop Orochimaru's tissues from regenerating and taking over herKashi.

There were ways to render Orochimaru's regeneritive powers, and body change jutsu's useless. Acid would be the best way at this point in time. If she infused it with her chakra and had Kakashi drink it, it would eat away at the tissues and organs that he had ingested earlier. It would be painful for him, and she would have to watch him closely but once the acid was done she could pull it from his body and heal any wounds that he might have gotten from the acid.

"Kashi, honey look at me, please." He lifted his head to look at her, his molten amber eyes troubled. She kissed him on the lips and pressed her forehead against his and sighed.

"I'm not mad at you, okay. I think I have a way to stop Orochimaru's tissues from taking you over. It's painful, I wont lie to you about that. But I will not leave your side, not even for a second. Twenty minutes. That's all I need to take care of the problem and heal you too. Do you think you can handle that?" She asked softly. Kakashi studied her and then licked her palm, his way of saying 'go for it' since he couldn't quite articulate his thoughts enough to speak.

She smiled at him and reached for the weapons pouch around his upper thigh and pulled out a medium sized vial of yucky yellow looking liquid that she made him carry around just in case, and popped the cork on it and stuck her index finger inside of it and hissed as the acid started to eat away at her finger tip and focused her chakra into the finger and poured it into the liquid until it turned an eirie glowing green color and handed it to him.

He took the vial from her and looked down at her bloody finger and started to reach for it but she pulled her hand just beyond his reach and spoke softly. "Kashi, drink that. Don't be worried, or scared of what might happen. I won't leave you for any reason. Okay." He looked at her face and brought the vial up to his mouth and drank it down in one gulp then doubled over in shock as it burned a path down his throat to his stomach.

She grabbed him and helped him to lay down knowing that he wouldn't be able to stay on his feet for another minute. She held him as he gasped in pain and broke out in a cold sweat as the acid finally reached his stomach and started to work on the shit that he had eaten. Naru leaned over him and brushed his silver hair back away from his face as he writhed and clenched his teeth until he tasted blood. How many minutes had it been already? He didn't know. But when he started to scream, Naru started crying. And he hated that he had pushed her to this point.

She placed a glowing hand against his neck, healing the burns along the inside of his esophagus, the burns on his vocal cords, and made sure to keep track of how many heart beats per minute. If his pulse started to slow or weaken in any way she would do everything that she could to stop him from dying. Twenty minutes later he was silent and still, having lost consousness a few minutes after drinking the acid. His pulse was still strong, though it was a bit slower than before and she was already pulling it from his body.

He gasped in pain everytime she pulled some of it out until there was nothing left to remove. She kept it contained in an orb of chakra and frowned at the amount of blood that was floating around in the orb, not enough to kill but cetainly enough to hurt. I've got a lot of stuff to heal. She thought as she handed the orb off to one of her shadow clones to dispose of a few hundred feet away at the base of a large tree.

Focusing her chakra into both of her hands she placed them against his naked skin and slowly started to heal the damage that she had foced him to endure. I'm sorry Kakashi. I'm sorry....

Sarutobi rolled over in his bed and muttered an oath as the knocking at his door persisted for several minutes. Whoever was knocking on his door so late at night was either stupid, or suicidal. There was a loud bang followed by a muffled voice that sounded suspiciously like Itachi's. He frowned and flopped over onto his back and listened to the young man speak.

"Naru and Kakashi are missing. We need to look for them." Right, okay. Naru and Kakashi were missing. That was nice. Wait what?! He was across the room in a flash, opening the door to look at Itachi with wide eyes and an alarmed expression on his face.

"What?!!"
