Kakashi didn't bother trying to sleep. He was too nervous about the up coming day and the things that he had planned for Shayera. He was going to surprise his new sister (God, he got such a strange fluttering feeling in his stomach every time he thought of her as his sister) by making her breakfast, then he was going to see if she was well enough to go shopping.
After reading his family texts last night he had gotten a little bit of an impression on how Hatake women dressed and acted.
He was going to take her shopping for some kimono's, some hair combs, silk purses, maybe a few girly items like perfume. Then he was going to take her by one of the houses that he was going to give her and let her look around it and see if she liked it, then he would give her the key and get some furniture for it and then if she wanted, both she and Naruto could move into the place.
Or she could burn it to the ground if that's what she wanted to do.
He didn't really care as long as she was happy. But that didn't stop him from feeling anxious and nervous. He'd never had a sibling before. He'd had people that he might have cared for as siblings. But he couldn't recall how he had behaved around them since that had been years ago and those people were now dead.
But that was totally different from adopting someone into his family. Right? Because those people hadn't really been his family. But once he placed the mark on Shay, she would be. Everything about her would be exactly like him. Her hair would change from black to silver, her canine teeth would become a little longer and sharper. Her senses would become similar to his own.
It was simply how the adoption process worked in his clan.
The only things that wouldn't change were her eyes, most of her physical appearance, and her personality. Even her blood would be the same as it was before she was adopted by him. She could even keep her real families name if she so wished because he didn't want to destroy all of her ties to them.
That would just be cruel.
And they were her family by blood. He would be her family by bond. But that didn't mean that he didn't want to do a good job as a brother.
He glanced at the clock sitting on his bedside table and quietly pushed himself up on his bed then stood up and walked over to his dresser and opened the top drawer and pulled out some clean underwear, and some socks. Then set them on top of the dresser then opened the third drawer and fished out a black turtle neck shirt then set it aside and walked the three feet to his closet and found himself some clean pants and some shoes then moved back to his dresser and picked up the clothes and set them on his bed to see how they would look.
Once he was sure that they would look okay he turned and walked into the bathroom to take a shower. He flicked on the light in the bathroom and moved to stand in front of the mirror and looked at himself.
He was a beautiful man. Terrifyingly so.
Silky silver hair that was longer in the front and on the sides than in the back. A savagely masculine face, firm sensual lips. The lower one a little fuller than the upper one. Proud aristocratic nose, pale silver, brows, one a little broken from the scar running down to his left eye lid. The bone structure a model would die for.
He stood at six foot six, was powerfully built, had the grace of an animal. And had the exotic mis matched eyes of a wolf.
Physically he was every village woman's darkest fantasy's sprung to life.
One wouldn't expect him to have problems with women, or to even to feel nervous about pleasing one. But Kakashi already knew enough about Shayera to know that she didn't care about physical appearances.
She cared more about what was in a person's heart than how they looked. Still, he couldn't help feel that he was at a disadvantage. He didn't know how to go about making a woman happy outside of the bedroom. And certainly didn't know anything about making a woman happy in a platonic relationship.
He sighed and ran his hands over his face in frustration. He was in over his head with Shay. He knew it, yet there was nothing that he could do about it. Honor dictated that he do this. And his honor was all a killer like him had to keep him human. To keep him sane.
And besides, he owed her more than he could ever repay.
He made a frustrated sound in the back of his throat and quickly stripped and climbed into the shower and turned on the shower and picked up the soap as he stepped under the spray.

Naruto fell asleep.
He didn't remember falling asleep. Or when he fell asleep while waiting for Kakashi to show up. All he knew was that he woke up face down on the couch, drooling a little bit and felt a deep sense of disgust.
God what was wrong with him? He was supposed to be really, really pissed at Kakashi for potentially knocking Shay up with his demon offspring. So why had he fallen asleep? He should have been so riled up that he wouldn't be able to close his eyes at all!
Uh. I'm going to pieces over this shit. Naruto thought darkly as he pushed himself upright a little bit and wiped the drool from his chin then looked down at the pillow that he had had tucked under his head and scowled at the wet mark on it then picked it up and flipped it over, suddenly feeling self conscious about the fact that he sometimes drooled when he slept.
It wasn't exactly something that a healthy man in semi relationship ever wanted his semi girlfriend to know. He yawned and stretched his back, popping it in several places before tilting his head to the side when he heard the shower start down the hall.
Hn. Shay was up earlier than he expected her to be. She must be feeling better. Naruto mused as he got up and went into the kitchen to make himself some coffee.

okay I think that's it now. I can't think anymore.
I hope that you enjoyed it.
