Chapter Eight – Golden Light

"H-Heaven!" Iruka said his eyes widening, "Shit!"

Kakashi smiled and put his hand on the single turquoise scale on his face, "Another great thing 'bout this scale, is that I can visit heaven with it…that's why I'm always late…I've been visiting heaven…Obito's here…so are your parents…"

Iruka calmed down and then smiled excitedly, "I-I can go in there and visit my parents?"

"Well, you will be able to soon…"

"It-It's 'cause I'm gonna die isn't it?" Iruka mumbled glumly.

Kakashi wrapped an arm around Iruka's slumped shoulders, "No! Of course not!"

"Really? No lie?" Iruka asked, edging away slightly, because of Kakashi's awkward nakedness.

"Definitely. You Iruka-kun, have a pretty shiny wonderful future ahead of you and I'm certain…no I promise that you won't die for ages and ages from now." Kakashi said reassuringly.

"Um…okay." Iruka said smiling, obviously glad that today wasn't his turn to enter the next world.

"You know, you're a funny guy." Kakashi suddenly chuckled, "Even though you don't mean to…you always make me laugh."

Iruka looked into Kakashi's eyes defiantly, "I am not funny! Are you taking the piss again!"

Kakashi laughed harder and tussled Iruka's hair playfully, "No, I'm not 'taking the piss', I'm just…giving you a complement, is all."

"Complement! Pur-lease Kakashi-kun, your idea of complement isn't exactly ordinary average pleasantries and they rarely make sense."

"That's because my compliments are extraordinary pleasantries!" Kakashi said his eyes going inverted 'U' shapes.

Iruka grinned, "Ah…I see, so telling me my hair is as nice as a your armpit fuzz, my eyes are as cute as cuddly gravy, my ass is as tight a screw cap on your favourite beer…"

Kakashi scratched his head in amusement, "I don't remember saying those things…except maybe the one about my armpit fuzz…it's really soft, wanna stroke it?"

"What! I am SO not stroking your armpits! That's just weird!" Iruka shrieked at the softly chuckling Kakashi.

"See…you are funny." Kakashi remarked patting Iruka on the back.

Iruka sighed, wanting to change the topic, "So…when do I get to visit my parents?"

"Now."

"Now?"

"Yep."

Iruka ran forwards excitedly and yanked on the golden gates impatiently, "Kakashi! Do you have a key or something? I can't open it!"

Kakashi grinned and peeled the scale off his face, "Not without this scale you can't…here."

Iruka gasped as Kakashi handed Iruka the scale.

"B-But…how…how'd you just…" Iruka gawked at the shiny little scale and the space on Kakashi where the scale had just been.

"I'm one hundred Iruka-kun…today is the day I leave the world to enter heaven…visit me okay?" Kakashi said cheerily, as Iruka watched his beautiful naked body stand before the gates.

There was a musical clang and the door swung open and Kakashi stepped through, swallowed by golden light and vanished.

Iruka clutched the scale to his heart, "Kakashi!"

The gate swung shut and Iruka was left alone on the soft white cloud.

The scale grew cold and then suddenly warm and fused through to Iruka's skin.

"What the!" Iruka gasped as the scale disappeared from his hand.
