As soon as Iruka left and was out of sight, Katsumi left to go back to the Uchiha estate. She wanted to make sure she had everything. Once she reached the Uchiha estate it was dark and it didn't help that they hadn't got the street lights working on the estate yet. They were planning to do that before the winter nights started to set in. She ran to the house not wanting to be seen and went inside.

"Hello, princess." A voice spoke in the darkness. Katsumi froze and quickly looked around, she cursed herself for not having her kunais with her or leaving Kakashi note so he could find her.

"Who's there?" She asked trying not to sound timid.

"Your prince." They answer cryptically from behind her. Katsumi turned and swung at the space behind her. "Missed." He said teasingly. "You've gotten slow, such a shame." He then taunted her.

"What do you want?" She asked gritting her teeth getting annoyed.

"What is truly mine." As the voice spoke in her ear, an arm snaked itself around her waist. She tried to jump away from him but the arm held her to his chest. "You've gotten so weak my dear Katsumi-chan." He whispered she felt his breath as his lips move down to her neck.

"You never tell me who you are, only what you want." She hissed at him and flinched as his lips touched her neck, she could feel him smirking.

"What would be the fun in telling you?" He asked, his lips moving against her neck. She growled at him and tried to pull away again.

"I do wish you'd stop struggling." He huffed at her and pulled her body even closer so she could feel every inch of his body and he could feel hers.

"Get out of my home and leave me alone." She hissed at him; she felt his chest rumble as he let out a deep chuckle.

"But you have left dear Sasuke-kun." Katsumi tensed and held her breath, her eyes wide in shock. "I know everything Katsumi-chan." He added when he felt her tense. "I've always been watching you." He told her.

"Why didn't you help me? Why didn't you stop him?" She whispered once she had gotten over the shock.

"Because I wanted you to stop him. I wanted you to save yourself otherwise you wouldn't be able to have your own will." He told her and she frowned, the way he spoke was narrowing down her suspects, this man had been stalking her and breaking into her old home and now, here since she became serious with Sasuke. Everything he said was either logical or cryptic.

"Please tell me who you are." She pleaded with him.

"In time my dear." He whispered and kissed her neck again before disappearing. Katsumi rushed to light switch but no was there. The only evidence of the man being there was an open window.

"Katsumi-chan!" She could hear Kakashi shouting her, she must had worried him, disappearing without as much as a note. She pulled herself together and shouted so he knew where she was. She then walked into the kitchen and picked up the groceries she had brought that morning. "Katsumi-chan." Kakashi called her as he ran into the house and found her in the kitchen.

"I'm sorry Kakashi-sama, I didn't mean to scare you like that. I should have left you a note." She said as she turned to look at him. She wasn't going to tell him about the stalker, he didn't need anything else on his plate. He was already doing so much for her.

"Why did you come back here?" He asked her confused but also worried she wanted to stay there.

"I saw how bare your cupboards were." She told him and Kakashi gave a little chuckle, rubbing the back of his neck. "So, I thought I'd come back here and pick up what I brought this morning so we could both have a decent meal." She added with a small smile. "I just want to pop upstairs and dig out some of my old weapons. It never felt right being without them." She added and placed the bags of food in the hallway before jogging up the stairs. Kakashi waited for her, she didn't take long and he helped her carry the bags back to his. Kakashi smiled as he watched her make them a meal. He never thought of Katsumi as the domestic type but here she was making his dinner.

The next day the two of them were woken up by the front door being pounded and Naruto's whiny voice shouting for both of them to open up and explain themselves. Kakashi was going to ignore the idiot but he could hear Katsumi getting up to answer the door. He pitied Naruto now, she was someone you didn't wake up and you certainly didn't talk to her until she had her morning coffee.

Katsumi opened the door in her pink fluffy dressing gown which was open showing her black pajama shorts and a crisp white vest top. Naruto blushed at the sight of her slim legs and her top finding it hard to hold her bust in.

"What?" She growled at him and he quickly realised his mistake in waking her up. He rubbed the back of his neck nervously. She started to get impatient and grabbed the front of his shirt, pulling him down to her level. "Spit it out." She hissed at him. Naruto gulped and then looked up as he heard Kakashi coming down the stairs in pajama bottoms and his mask. He looked at Kakashi as if begging him to save him but Kakashi wasn't about to save him, Naruto had to learn how to behave if he wanted to be Hokage. "I'm waiting."

"Well, you see, umm…well." Naruto stuttered out trying to get his words to form a sentence but he wasn't having any luck. He never knew how scary Katsumi could be.

"I don't have all day so tell me why you woke me and made so much noise before my morning coffee?" She ordered before looking over her shoulder towards the kitchen. "Two sugars and no fucking milk!" She shouted and Naruto looked confused and heard Kakashi chuckle.

She quickly turned her attention back towards him.

"Kat-chan…" Naruto started to try and sweet talk himself out of trouble but the sudden glare in her eyes told him not to even try. "Well, there are rumors..." He managed to stutter out and she let his shirt go before screaming in frustration and throwing her arms in the air. Kakashi walked through the lounge and to the front door to give her coffee. He was glad to know her sense of smell hadn't weakened.

"He woke me up because of rumors." She hissed, looking at Kakashi as she took a sip of coffee and pointed at Naruto. Kakashi sighed.

"I'll deal with this, go back to bed." He told her with a small smile and moved out of the way so she could get up the stairs.

"So, they are true! You two are sleeping together!" Naruto shouted in shock, causing Katsumi to stop half way up the stairs. Naruto couldn't believe she was cheating on his best friend. He wanted to know why. What had Sasuke done to deserve that? But he couldn't believe their own sensei would do that to them. Kakashi sighed and took the mug that Katsumi handed to him before she rolled her sleeves up. 'Run.' Kakashi mouthed to Naruto, forgetting that Naruto wouldn't be able to see it through his mask but Naruto seemed to have already picked up the hint to run.

But by the time he had turned around she had grabbed his shirt and pulled him into the house and slammed the door.

"What do the rumors say?" She asked through gritted teeth, letting him go and Naruto gulped again, she had already made him start sweating.

Kakashi stood back and watched the whole thing unfold. It made him remember the times they went on Intel missions. He and someone else would often take someone hostage who they knew had the information they needed. Then they would take them back to the camp first thing in the morning before Katsumi had woken up, knowing full well that the prisoner would wake her up with all their shouts and cries of wanting to be released. This would wake her up and then they would withhold her morning coffee until the prisoner gave them answers, telling her that she couldn't have one until she got answers. They had learnt to not make that threat if she could see where the coffee was or if she knew you had it on you. You had to hide it knowing that in the morning she couldn't be bothered to look for it. She would scare fully grown and war-hardened men into blabbing information within minutes.

"The villagers think you've left Sasuke-kun." Naruto finally stuttered out, bringing Kakashi out of his thoughts. Naruto gave Kakashi a pleading look of help but Kakashi knew better than to interrupt her during an interrogation. He sat down the stairs, watching the two. "They said you've been sleeping with Kakashi-sama for a while now and because Sasuke-kun has left for a long mission you two decided to move you in now so there wasn't a scene." Naruto added, stuttering the whole time. Katsumi growled and took her coffee off Kakashi and started slipping it. Naruto looked at her and then at Kakashi. "So, are you two sleeping together?" He asked and earned a mug full of coffee to the face.

Kakashi had to try hard not to laugh at the startled look Naruto gave before registering the coffee was scalding hot. He quickly ripped off his top and tried to wipe the hot liquid off his skin.

"No Naruto we're not, she has no heating or water at the house. Sasuke didn't give her enough money to cover any possible repair costs that might happen." Kakashi told him as Katsumi went off to get another coffee.

"Oh, well, I'll set people straight if I hear them talking about it." Naruto said with a smile.

"Naruto I'd leave before Katsumi-chan gets back." Kakashi whispered as he stood up to open the door and Naruto nodded.

"Yeah, she's scarier than Tsunade-baa-chan and Sakura-chan mixed together." He admitted and rushed out of the door as he saw Katsumi walking back with a fresh mug of coffee. Kakashi was glad that Naruto hadn't noticed the bruises. Then again, Naruto could be too wrapped up in his own world at times to notice anything.
