Chapter 40:

They woke up at dawn the next day, Kakashi laughing loudly at Naruto's grumblings about his soiled boxers. "Don't worry love, a nice hot shower is only a short distance away." They skip breakfast, quickly changing and packing up their gear. Finally out of the cramped cave, Kakashi stretches out, sighing happily at the beautiful morning. The sun was making its lazy way higher into the sky, the trees and grass around them twinkling with dew. Naruto is bouncing on the balls of his feet at his side, impatient to get moving. Kakashi gives him a quick kiss, grabbing him around the wrist, "Lets go!" He starts sprinting through the woods, dragging a now laughing blonde behind him. They close the distance to the property in no time at all, the low fence surrounding it coming quickly into view. Kakashi slows their pace, sliding his hand into Narutos. The blonde is smiling brightly, taking in his surroundings, "Are we almost there?" Kakashi nods, "That fence just ahead there is the start of the property, I own quite a few acres. The farmhouse was originally my fathers but I took ownership of it upon his death. I bought out a bunch of the surrounding land so it would feel more secluded and have more room for the dogs… we are still quite a ways from the farmhouse itself." They reached the fenceline as Kakashi spoke, the nin quickly jumped over it, "We may as well cut through, the entry gate is more west of here." Naruto hopped the fence as well, eyes wide as he realized the sheer size of the property. Directly to their north was a massive pond, an overturned canoe at its shore line. They were walking their way through acres upon acres of waist tall grassland. Kakashi's hands were skirting across the top of the tall grass, humming happily, "Almost time to harvest the hay." A while later and a large farmhouse came into view. The building was pushed back to the corner of the property, nestled into the thick forest behind it.

Finally through the tall grass, they reached the stone path leading up to the house. Kakashi could see a few of his ninken playing along the forestline at the back of the property, a few more sleeping soundly on the porch. He smiled, bringing himself to a stop to look over his property, Naruto awestruck at his side. He pulled the blonde in for a tight hug, kissing softly at his neck, "Welcome home, love." He pushed back from the blonde a few moments later, holding tightly to his upper arms. Happy tears were spilling from the young man's eyes. Kakashi gave him a happy smile, quickly rubbing away his tears and whistling for the dogs. He watched as the hounds' heads popped up all around the property, quickly dashing in their direction. Kakashi released Naruto's arms, the blonde quick to drop to his knees to embrace the hounds, quickly being knocked onto his back by the biggest of the dogs, Bull. Bull apologized profusely by licking big sloppy kisses all over his face. Kakashi watched on affectionately as the blonde laughed and scrubbed at his wet face with his sleeves. Pakkun was at Kakashi's side, pawing against his leg to gain his attention. He looks down at the loyal little pug at his feet, "Everything is taken care of, boss. Welcome home." Kakashi gave him a quick nod, blinking back his own tears. "Alright guys, let Naruto breathe." Kakashi laughed out, helping the laughing blonde to his feet. The dogs jumped and barked around their feet as they made their way up the rest of the path to the farmhouse. Naruto was back to taking in his surroundings. There was a big beautiful willow tree just off to the left of the farmhouse, an old tire swing tied to one of its strong outstretched branches. The front of the building had a wide, lush flower bed, filled with dozens of flowers of all different varieties and colors. Off to the right was a small fenced in vegetable garden, he could see tomato, cucumber and pepper plants growing within. "This place is amazing, Kashi… so beautiful." Kakashi hummed happily, "I haven't been here in a very, very long time. It's nice to be back and even nicer to see that Hiroto and his wife have been taking such good care of the place. I will have to make sure to properly thank them." He led the blonde up the steps to the patio, the patio deck wrapped around the front of the building, a few rocking chairs placed strategically to overlook the vast property. Kakashi looked out over the land, smiling happily at his ninken, "You boys stay out here for a bit, I'm going to give Naruto a tour and get him settled in." He opened the front door, steering the blonde inside. Naruto stood in the entryway shocked. The exterior of the building was very much what you would expect from an old farmhouse, rich dark wood with a rustic feel, but the inside was completely different. The interior of the house had been remodeled, decorated and furnished in a bright and welcoming contemporary style. "Wow…" the blonde mumbled wide eyed. Kakashi shrugged off his rucksack, helping Naruto out of his, dropping them on the floor near the front door. "Why don't you go have a shower, love? I'll take care of a few things and join you shortly." Kakashi led him to the bathroom just off to the right of the entryway, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek. Naruto nodded, still overwhelmed by everything. Kakashi retreated back into the entryway, collecting their gear to take to the mudroom. He threw all their soiled clothes and blankets into the wash, laying out the remainder of their gear on the workbench. Medkits, a couple kunai including Naruto's new one and recovered one, scrolls and the last bit of food. He brought the remaining food and a scroll with him into the kitchen, putting the food away before quickly writing out a letter to the Sandaime requesting his audience for tomorrow morning. Kakashi sighed, his mind still running through the possible outcomes of the meeting. He opened the window above the kitchen sink, quickly summoning a hawk and sending it away with the scroll. All of his tasks completed, Kakashi made his way to the bathroom to join Naruto.

The bathroom was huge, Naruto stunned still for a moment taking it all in. There was a massive soaking tub directly in front of him, under a window looking out at the grasslands of the property. To the left was a two sink vanity and toilet, to the right a large walk-in shower stall. The stall was beautifully tiled with a bench seat pressed to one side, a rainshower style shower head dropping from the ceiling. He stripped himself down, dropping his soiled clothing into a hamper near the door. Stepping under the shower head, he turned on the water as hot as he could handle, groaning as the water cascaded heavenly down his body. He stood under the torrent for several long moments savoring the waters warm embrace.

Kakashi made his way into the bathroom, finding Naruto standing unmoving in the showerstall, face angled up toward the showerhead. Steam was quickly filling the room, Kakashi smiled and stripped off his clothes, joining the young man in the shower. He wrapped his arms around the blonde, wincing slightly at the almost scorching temperature of the water. Naruto jolted in his arms, quickly opening his eyes. "Sorry, love. Didn't mean to startle you. Water hot enough?" Kakashi chuckled, turning down the temperature just a touch to make it more bearable. Naruto smiled shyly at him, "Yeah, sorry… too hot huh…" Kakashi laughed loudly, giving the blonde a quick squeeze. "You can have showers as hot and long as you like, love, but if I'm in here with you I'd rather not scold my skin off." Naruto scowled at Kakashi, giving him a gentle shove, earning more laughter from the nin. Kakashi handed the blonde a fresh bar or soap, before squeezing a generous amount of shampoo into his hands to wash Naruto's hair. Naruto was humming happily with his eyes closed, gliding the bar of soap over Kakashi's body. The fingers massaging his scalp and the hard ridges of the nin's body under his palms sending a shiver of pleasure down his spine. Kakashi finally rinsed the soap from the young man's hair, pressing a quick kiss to his lips, before collecting the soap back from him. Naruto finally opened his eyes again, greeted with a smirking Kakashi, "Enjoying yourself, love?" Naruto nodded enthusiastically, dragging Kakashi under the showerhead, "Time to wash your hair, Kashi." Kakashi closed his eye, a small smile still playing on his lips. He reached out to soap down the body of the blonde, feeling the young man's fingers reach up into his hair. He rubbed the soap up and down Naruto's front, enjoying the taut muscles of his straining abdomen beneath his fingers. He soaped the blonde's groin for far longer than necessary, rubbing his palm firmly against his tight balls, earning a small groan. Kakashi chuckled softly to himself, bringing his hands around the his waist, pulling him in tighter so he could wash his back. He washed his back thoroughly, as Naruto started to rinse out his hair. Kakashi let his soapy hands dip down to the blonde's butt cheeks, giving them a playful squeeze. He stepped back from the blonde, pulling him under the showerhead once more to rinse off the soap.

They finally stepped out of the shower, Kakashi quickly noting that Naruto's eyes were twinkling with lust. Kakashi handed him a towel, leaning in close to lick gently along his neck before whispering into his ear, "Don't worry my little fox, I will be taking care of you very soon." He bit playful at the young man's ear, a soft moan leaving his throat. "Let me show you the rest of the house." Kakashi dried off, wrapping the towel around his waist, Naruto quickly following suit. They stepped out of the bathroom, Kakashi leading them out into a wide open foyer. A big plush couch with a few large pillows and a soft looking blanket draped over it sat in the middle of the room, a large row of bookshelves directly across it. The bookshelves were heavily laden with hundreds of books, a few plants and some pictures adorning the top. Numerous dog beds and toys littered the floor in the room. "This is the living room, the couch is super comfy but usually filled with dogs. There are a ton of books, I don't know if any of them will interest you but of course you are more than welcome to read whatever you like." They continued on into the kitchen, Naruto gasping at the room before him. The space was huge, big beautiful white-washed wood cabinets filled the space, a long working counter separating the kitchen from the living room. The counter had a shining black slate top with a ledge at the back with high stools tucked underneath. There was a huge basin sink next to a double oven stovetop and a massive fridge sat next to what was probably the pantry. "This is the kitchen slash eating area. I decided to get rid of the big dining room area when I renovated. I didn't see myself being much more than a bachelor for the rest of my life so I used the extra space to build my dream kitchen. I used to really love to cook…before…" Kakashi trailed off, reflecting on the miserable path his life had taken for quite some time. An empty life filled with only missions and misery. Before finally finding Naruto, when was the last time he had taken any time to do anything he enjoyed? He turned to the blonde, who was now looking at him with concern. He gave him a bright smile, pulling him into a tight hug, "I can't wait to properly cook for you." Naruto kissed him softly on the lips, "You okay, Kashi?" "Better than I think I have ever been, love… Now of course, help yourself to anything you want. This is your home too, if you need or want anything do not hesitate to mention it. I will provide for you anything you could ever want or need." Naruto laughed and shook his head, "Are you rich, Kashi? This house is incredible… and all the work you have done to the inside, it must have cost you a fortune." Kakashi laughed loudly at the question, "No love, I'm not rich but I would say I am well off. I have banked a good deal of money over the course of my life. I was constantly away on missions, missions that would earn me plenty of money. Since I never took any time off or had anyone to take care of I hardly spent any of it. As I said before, the property was my father's but I did spend a bit of money to fix it up, modernize it, buy the surrounding lots and keep it maintained in my absence." Naruto's eyes were a touch sad again but he gave Kakashi's hand a quick squeeze. "Alright, so off to the left is the laundry room, the rest of the rooms are this way..." Kakashi led them down a hall, opening the first door on the right. "This is a small guest room, I was originally going to convert it into a weapons room room but never found the time." The room had a decent sized double bed tucked in one corner and a workbench along the far wall. The workbench was covered with all sorts of shinobi gear; kunais, shurikens, a bunch of scrolls, medkits, and a number of other things. Kakashi closed the door to the room, leading them down the hall a little further to a door on the left. He opened the door and stepped in, Naruto quickly at his side. "This is the master bedroom, there is a smaller bathroom just through that door. There is plenty of room in the dresser and the closet for your clothes." There was a huge king size bed at the center of the room, directly under a window looking out into the forest behind the property. Nightstands flanked either side of the bed, a double chest of drawers and wardrobe rounding out the space on the other wall. The bed looked so inviting, heavily laden with pillows and a soft, warm looking, comforter. "Well, that's pretty much it. What do you think?" Kakashi had moved behind the blonde while speaking, gently bringing his hands up to massaging his shoulders. "It's amazing, Kashi. I can't believe I get to live here." Kakashi laughed, kissing at the back of the blonde's neck. "You don't just get to live here, love, this is your home now too. Our home." "Home…" the blonde mumbled happily. Kakashi bit gently into the back of the blonde's neck, before scooping him up and walking him toward the bed. Naruto was laughing in his arms slapping at his chest, "Hey! Put me down." "With pleasure, my love." Kakashi tossed him onto the giant bed, Naruto sinking fast into the mountain of pillows.

Kakashi crawled up onto the bed as well, bracing himself overtop of the blonde. Naruto was smiling up at him, beautiful blue eyes shining brightly. Kakashi placed a deep kiss to his lips, slowly kissing his way down his jaw to his neck. He sucked softly at the sensitive flesh before continuing his journey down. Naruto was sighing happily above him, his hands wrapped tightly around Kakashi's forearms. The nin continued his descent, kissing his was down to the blonde's nipple, giving it a soft lick. Goosebumps rose up on the young man's skin as Kakashi sucked the nipple between lips and bit down on it gently. Naruto whimpered at the bite, his fingers digging into Kakashi's arms. Kakashi released the nipple, giving it another playful lick before continuing his descent. He kissed and tongued at the muscular ridges of the blonde's abdomen, dragging his tongue across his belly button. Kakashi rubbed his nose along the trail of blonde hair just below his belly button, inhaling deeply and growling. He pushed himself up from the blonde, leveling his face back in front of him. Naruto had his lip captured between his teeth, eyes blazing with desire. Kakashi pressed another deep kiss to his lips before pushing himself up to his knees. He pulled the blonde free of the towel wrapped around his midsection, his fingers quickly finding their way to his strong upper thighs. Gripping firmly onto the young man's thighs, Kakashi dipped his head low, swiping his tongue up Naruto's hard erection. The blondes back arched up on contract, his hands fisting the pillows beside his head, a throaty moan leaving his lips. The young man's erection throbbed under Kakashi's tongue, weeping heavily. He lapped at the leaking tip, growling loudly when his sweet taste met his tongue. Kakashi took a deep breath in, trying to calm himself down before slowly sucking Naruto's full length into his mouth. He was watching the blonde's face intently while gently bobbing up and down his cock. The young man had his head dipped back, loud panting sighs escaping his mouth. Kakashi dragged his teeth up the length, bringing a hand up to tease the blonde aching balls. Naruto's back arched back up wildly, biting down harshly into his lip to stifle a loud moan. Kakashi brought a hand up to capture the blonde's chin, pulling it down to free the lip and to make him make eye contact. Naruto met the nin's eyes, groaning heavily as Kakashi slowly sucked his length back into his mouth. "Oh… fuck…please, Kashi… please.." Kakashi hummed, sucking the length deep into his throat. Naruto's head dipped back once more, overwhelmed by the vibration. Kakashi slowly removed his mouth from the length, giving it one last playful lick before kissing his way back up to the blonde's face. Finally reaching the blonde's neck once more, he whispers, "I am going to make slow, sweet love to you Naruto until you cum for me. Than I am going to fuck you until you are screaming my name." He licked at the blonde neck, feeling him quivering beneath him, a soft whimper escaping his lips. Kakashi pushes himself back up, collecting one of the pillows from the head of the bed and tucking it under Naruto's hips, the blonde shaking with need. He reaches over to the nightstand and puts out a small bottle of lubricant, squeezing a large amount into his hand and bringing it to Naruto's entrance. He rubs gently while lowering himself back down to kiss the blonde. Kakashi builds him up gradually, kissing and tonguing him gently, Naruto mewling and whimpering into his mouth. He gently presses two fingers in, curling and scissoring them slowly. Naruto is already spiraling close to the edge, moaning harshly, his fingers dug painfully into Kakashi's arms. He pulls his fingers free, wrapping the hand around his own length to coat it with the remaining lube. Lining himself up, he levels his face over the blondes, looking deeply into his blazing eyes. Kakashi pushes in slowly, holding the gaze, his mouth slightly falling open at the tight feel of the young man below him. Naruto's eye lashes flutter, struggling to stay open, a lewd moan leaving his mouth as Kakashi buries himself deep. Finally fully seated in the blonde, Kakashi strokes at his hair, pressing soft kisses to his lips. He sets a slow and steady pace, long and deep thrusts, while still kissing at the blondes lips and jaw gently. Naruto's arms have found their way around his neck, his legs wrapping tightly around his waist. Naruto was holding on for dear life, whimpering and groaning with each painfully slow thrust. He was shaking violently under Kakashi, his release so close. Kakashi kissed his way down to his neck, licking and sucking at the flesh, capturing his earlobe in his mouth, he whispers, "Let it go, love, cum for me." biting down on the lobe and burying himself in deeper. Naruto groaned loudly, "Oh, Kami," his limbs gripping tighter around the nin, as he came heavily onto himself.

Kakashi kissed his way back up to the blonde's lips, Naruto loosening the grip of his limbs, letting them fall to his sides. The blonde was panting, eyes half lidded and twinkling. Kakashi placed one last gentle kiss to the blonde's lips, earning a sweet little hum, before bringing both of the blonde's legs up and pressing them to his chest. Naruto's eyes went wide as Kakashi grabbed both of his wrists, pinning them above his head, "You ready to scream for me, little fox?" Not awaiting a response, he captured the blonde's lower lip between his teeth and thrust himself in harshly. Naruto's back arched wildly, screaming in pleasure. Kakashi pounded into him ruthlessly, finally releasing the lip to plunge his tongue deep into the blonde's mouth. He angled his hips slightly, making sure every thrust was grazing the bundle of nerves within the young man. Kakashi was spirally dangerously close to his own climax but bit it back, wanting the blonde to meet his end once more before allowing himself release. Naruto was struggling against his trapped wrists, moaning darkly into Kakashi's mouth. He withdrew his tongue from the blonde's mouth, flicking it across his lips, before dragging it up along his jaw, growling out, "Scream for me, little fox." Kakashi bit harshly into Naruto's neck, gripping his wrist tighter, while still thrusting into him mercilessly. Naruto met his release quickly, his screams of Kakashi's name echoing throughout the silent farmhouse. Kakashi freed the blonde's neck from his teeth, burying his face into the pillows to muffle the screaming out of his own release.

After a few deep breaths, Kakashi pulled himself free from the blonde, using his discarded towel to wipe clean his chest and abdomen. While the blonde was still panting and shaking with his eyes closed, Kakashi quickly and gently cleaned him out as well. He pressed soft kisses to the blonde's face and lips, "You okay love?" Naruto hummed and nodded, still unwilling to open his eyes or speak. Kakashi chuckled softly, "You rest my sweet little fox, I'll go make us dinner." Kakashi pushed himself up off the bed with shaky legs, collecting the soiled towels and draping the blankets up over Naruto before kissing him lightly on the forehead. He dumped the towels in the hamper near the dresser, pulling himself out a clean pair of boxers to throw on. Padding his way down the hall, he opened the front door to the farmhouse, letting in the dogs. He made the hounds their dinner first, filling up their trays in the laundry room, before setting to work on his and Naruto's dinner. Opening the fridge he took a quick inventory of the items inside, Hiroto had made sure they had plenty of fresh vegetables and staples on hand. Kakashi set broth stock to a low simmer on the stove, quickly chopping up some vegetables and tofu to make a simple miso soup. While the soup was simmering he decided to whip up some quick yaki onigiri, Hiroto graciously leaving him some pre-cooked rice in the fridge. He formed the rice into quick balls, brushing them with soya sauce and tossing them in a frying pan. Kakashi sighed happily, falling into a long forgotten rhythm. It had been so long since he cooked in this kitchen, hell cooked at all. This wasn't some of his best work but it felt good to be creating something again. Miso done and the onigiri perfectly grilled he dished them each up a serving and walked it back to the bedroom. Naruto had curled up onto his side, hugging a pillow tightly to his chest. Kakashi smiled down adoringly at the young man, feeling guilty rousing him from his slumber. "Naruto love, wake up… dinner is ready." The blonde murmured and stretched, finally opening his sleepy eyes and giving Kakashi a weak smile. Kakashi dusted soft kisses on his cheeks, "Are you okay, love? Did I hurt you?" Naruto laughed lightly, "I'm fine Kashi… I promise." Kakashi smiled back at the blonde, helping him sit up. "Here, it's nothing special but you should eat something, we haven't eaten yet today. I'm sure you're starving." Naruto's stomach rumbled as the plate was placed in his hands. The blonde ate greedily, slurping back the miso with relish and groaning around mouth fulls of onigiri, "So good, Kashi…" Kakashi laughed, offering the blonde his portion of onigiri. Finished with dinner, Kakashi sets their plates on the nightstand. He sighs heavily before meeting the eyes of the blonde. "I have requested a meeting with the Sandaime for tomorrow morning, I figured it was better to get it out of the way as quickly as possible." Naruto's eyes widened, shining lightly with fear, Kakashi continued, "I won't make you come to Konoha with me. I know I promised you that I wouldn't let you out of my sight and I plan to stick to that promise. I am going to summon a couple shadow clones to stay here with you and the hounds while I travel to meet with the Third. It is quite a distance away so I will be gone for most of the day but I will feel better knowing they will be with you in case anything goes wrong… which it won't. I don't want you to worry, love. Everything will be fine. I promise." Naruto tried to swallow back his fear, nodding in understanding. Kakashi pressed a soft kiss to his lips before continuing, "I am going to have to be awake quite early tomorrow, it takes about three hours to reach Konoha from here. What do you say we make an early night of it and enjoy a nice breakfast together tomorrow before I have to go?" Naruto smiled brightly, "That sounds wonderful Kashi, I'm exhausted." Kakashi laughed, pressing a kiss to the blonde's forehead, "Sorry about that love, I couldn't help myself… I'll put away our dishes real quick and come join you in bed." Kakashi pushed himself back to his feet, gathering up their plates and taking them to the kitchen. He had a few moments to worry over tomorrow's meeting but tried to compose himself again before reaching the bedroom. Naruto was still laying on the bed waiting for him, his eyes tired but bright. Kakashi flicked off the lights and closed the curtain behind the bed, the late day sunshine still illuminating the room too harshly. He crawled into the bed, stretching flat on his back, sighing heavily at the feel of the soft mattress beneath him. Naruto quickly shimmied his way in close to him, staring up at Kakashi doe eyed. Kakashi laughed, "All this bed and you need to be right beside me huh?" Naruto flushed crimson and pushed himself slightly back. Kakashi rolled over and pulled the blonde tight to his chest, dipping his head down to bury his face into his hair. He breathed in deeply with a sigh, "I wouldn't have it any other way. Good night, my love, sweet dreams." Naruto wrapped his arms tightly around the nin's waist, pressing his face to his chest, "Good night Kashi, I love you." "I love you too, my little fox." Kakashi listened for the sounds of Naruto falling asleep before finally succumbing to his own exhaustion.
