Kakashi walked Sasuke, Raylin and Naruto out of Hokage's headquarters and right to the ramen stand where Sasuke treated them all. His wallet was much lighter when they left. Then they all walked back to Naruto's where they settled in for a while to talk. Naruto showed Kakashi and Raylin where they'd be sleeping – he had a small bedroom next to his, on the other side of his wall. After they put their few things in the room, they came back out and sat down with Naruto and Kakashi. Almost as soon as Naruto sat down, he jumped up again. "Wait a sec, I forgot something." He ran off into his room and came back with something behind his back. "I was hoping I'd get a chance to give you this Sasuke." He handed him his forehead protector. Sasuke took it and looked at it, feeling emotions and memories battering him relentlessly.

Raylin touched the surface, "It's cracked, across the leaf image."

Naruto said, "No, scratched."

Raylin said, "Scratched? How?"

Sasuke said, "One of our epic fights – he did it."

Raylin asked Naruto, "You put a scratch in this metal?"

Naruto said, "Yeah that was one of the times he said, 'you'll never put a scratch on my forehead.' I showed him."

They all laughed a little. Kakashi said, "We can get you another one when you start your missions."

Sasuke said, "No, I think I'll just keep this one – to remind me of things."

Kakashi nodded and smiled. He thought, Sasuke has indeed come a long way.

After more conversation with Raylin and Sasuke answering Naruto's questions, very patiently, and even after letting Naruto examine the seal on Sasuke's abdomen and compare it to his own, Raylin finally announced, "I'm beat. I need to go to bed. Good night you guys. Thank you Kakashi. Thank you Naruto. Don't stay up too late."

Sasuke stood up, "I'd better get to bed too. It's been a long day and I'm sure Hokage is going to want to speak to us tomorrow. I'd better rest up."

Naruto just looked at Kakashi and mouthed, "Yeah right." They knew exactly why Sasuke was going to bed. They weren't stupid.

Sasuke followed Raylin to the bedroom where he shut the door after flipping off Naruto. Naruto yelled at him, "Keep the noise down Sasuke! Some people do like to sleep around here!"

Kakashi turned to Naruto, "Wonder what they'll get up to?"

Naruto just said, "Take your book out, pick a page."

Kakashi said, "You think?" A girlish giggle came from the room followed by a ssssshhh! Kakashi and Naruto both nodded. "I think I'll get going then too. It is kind of late. I'll be back tomorrow or I'll send someone to get them. Don't worry Naruto, I'll see if Hokage will pay to have them stay with you – supply food and stuff so they don't strain your budget."

"That's OK Kakashi, I'll be alright. I'm just glad he's come home."

"Me too Naruto. I'll talk to you tomorrow."

"Yeah. G'night Kakashi."

"Bye." He left and after cleaning up a bit, Naruto went to bed himself. He had to admit, he was curious about what they were getting up to next door. He listened, wondering if they were talking, having sex or what.

Sasuke and Raylin lay in bed together talking quietly about their day. They noted that Naruto had finally gone to bed himself because they heard his bed make a noise. Raylin said, "Can you believe they're going to let us stay? I really like it here. I feel like I belong here."

"Yeah, it is a good place to be."

"Naruto's kinda cute." In the other room Naruto perked up at the sound of his name.

"Sasuke said, I'll give you cute," and he tried to grab her to which she squealed, only to have Sasuke ssssh her again.

"Well if you don't want me to react like that, don't do that!" She giggled at him and brushed the bangs out of his face. "Thank you for bringing me here. I could love these people. I need to meet more of your friends, there's so much I want to do and see. And Naruto!" He perked up again. "What a sweet guy he is. If I hadn't met you first," Naruto's eyes bugged out.

"You're just saying that to make him crazy aren't you?"

She nodded, but said, "No I'm not. I think he's cute. I love his blond hair. So different from ours." Naruto was about to press his ear to the wall to hear more, but then he heard, a quiet,

"I love you Raylin."

"I love you Sasuke." Naruto swore he heard kissing noises, and a sound that someone makes when they taste something yummy.

Ewwww, he though, she's tasting Sasuke and thinks he yummy? Nasty. I don't want to hear her and Sasuke. Now if she came in here with me and made that sound, I wouldn't mind. But my friend is about to have sex with his girlfriend in the room next to mine. WHY ME?

He heard their bed creak, something fell to the floor and he heard a "whoops." Then he heard Sasuke say her name, "Raylin," and more kissing noises, more shifting. He didn't want to listen, but it was like someone screaming, you didn't want to hear it, but you wanted to know what they were screaming about.

Inside their room, Raylin lowered herself down on Sasuke as he said her name "Raylin." She settled him into her and then leaned down and kissed him as she began to move slowly, trying not to make the bed move, trying not to make noises that Naruto would know where lovemaking noises. In one quick move, Sasuke rolled her onto her back and began to slam into her more vigorously. She wanted this, but the bed began to make a lot of noise, and she said, "Sasuke, Naruto will hear!"

He looked at her and said, "I don't care. I need you." He kept up his pace, she loved it. Then she didn't care if Naruto heard or not either. She had a solid heat building in her abdomen. She pulled him into her over and over. Thoughts of them being safe and accepted and home filled her mind as his face filled her vision. It all swirled into a ball and brought on the biggest orgasm she'd ever experienced. Sasuke's orgasm quickly followed hers. She bit her lip so she didn't cry out, and as her spasms slowed, she started to cry quietly.

As Raylin softly cried, Sasuke asked, "What's wrong? Did I hurt you? I didn't hurt you did I?" He heard Naruto get up next door. Oh great, king hero is going to bust in here now because he thinks I hurt her.

She wiped her eyes and said, "No, I'm just so happy. You make me feel so good. I feel that I have it all. I have a gorgeous boyfriend, a real home, a job, and some new friends." They heard Naruto get back into his bed. "My life is so much better than it was not long ago. What more could I ask for?"

"I want something else. Just one more thing."

"What is it? Is it something I can do? Name it."

"I love you and I don't ever want you to leave me. I don't want us to ever be apart."

"What can I do Sasuke?"

"You can marry me." A definite "huh?" was heard in the room next door, that matched the "huh" Raylin uttered back at him. "You can marry me. That's what you can do for me. That's the one more thing I want. I want a family Raylin. Not right this second, I know we're both young, but I'd like to become engaged to you if you'll accept my proposal."

She got up on her knees on the bed, sat on her heels and looked at him. They had both come such a long way, from being pawns of an evil maniac, to being the greatest gift they could give each other. He sat up and took her hands in his. "What do you say? Can we get engaged?"

The tears started to trickle down her face again. She nodded and flung her arms around his neck. He buried his face in her neck and squeezed her to him. They both fell sideways onto the bed, and she kissed his face all over. Sasuke said, "Is that a yes then? Come on, tell me!"

"Yes, yes, yes, yes yes! YES! YES!" Raylin yelled at him.

Naruto yelled, "Will you two keep it down in there – and by the way CONGRATULATIONS! Now GO TO SLEEP! Jeez!"

They both stifled a laugh and after some slight kissing, they snuggled up and went to sleep. Tomorrow was their official first day in Konoha and they couldn't wait to get started.
