Genma let go of her hands as if they had burned him and jumped up out of her chair muttering oathes under his breath. Jesus Christ! Hatake had to be close by somewhere watching Naru. Meaning that her work as the Hokage would be in danger of being exposed. And if that happened she might be killed by the council for murdering the old man when she hadn't. "Genma? What is it? Whats wrong?" Naru asked as she reached out to put her hand on his shoulder.

Genma grabbed her hand and quickly did a sweep of the room, he could suddenly feel malviolent eyes boring into him, and his survival instinct started to kick in. "He's close by Naru."

Kakashi couldn't believe what he was seeing. He proposes marriage to her and the little chit runs off to her lover. Jealousy surged, hot and thick in his blood. Well if she thought that the fact that she had a lover would stop him from claiming her, she had another thing coming.

Especially since she belonged to him. And him alone.

"What? Who is?" Genma rolled his eyes. God this girl could be so goddamn dense. Genma thought as he turned ot her and framed her face in his hands and leaned in close. A bigger mistake had never been made, but he needed to be able to talk to her with out worrying about the copy nin seeing his lips move.

"Kakashi is watching us right now Naru. I need you to get out of here and stay away from the office as much as possible until this thing with Kakashi is resolved." Naru opened her mouth to speak and he tightened his grip on her face to shut her up.

"Listen to me you damn stupid girl. I can take your place for a while as the acting Hokage, and if I really need you then I'll know where you are and can to you. But if Kakashi accidentally exposes you as the current Hokage..."

"I'll be killed." Naru said simply, her mind turning what Genma was telling her over and over trying to find a loop hole of some kind so that she could stay. Because if Genma was exposed as the current acting Hokage, even as her stand in, he would be killed in her place. Genma nodded his head and started to let her go.

"Slip out the window, Naru. Go. Now." Genma said gently as he pushed her away. She staggered back looking pale and grabbed at his arm, trying to keep him from walking away from her. Suddenly feeling deathly afraid that he would be exposed and die.

"No! Genma!"

"Go Naru. Before he decides to come for you here." Genma said as he turned to look at her and paled a little when he saw the copy nin standing in the window looking like an avenging angel in his fury. Naru saw his shadow darkening the sunlight behind her and turned her head to see who was standing in her window and made a funny little choking sound as the copy nin stepped down from the window sill and looked at her, his mis matched eyes glittering dangerously.

"What's going on here? A lovers tryst?" Naru and Genma both flushed and sputtered.

That was an outragous accusation! They thought of each other as siblings. Not lovers. But Kakashi wasn't aware of this, and he was intrested in Naru. So really it was a logical conclusion for him to make considering the age differance and the amount of affection that they seemed to have for one another.

"A-As if!" Genma sputtered in outrage. Naru was as pure as the driven snow! He'd fought hard to keep her that way, and he deck any man that tried to so much as lay their hands on her. Except for the tall, dark, and deadly man in front of him. He had already stated his intentions and as far as Genma was concerned, Kakashi was a relitivly decent guy.

If he said that he would marry Naru.

He'd marry Naru. And he'd protect her all the days of his life.

So really there wasn't much to be afraid of other than the fact that he looked like he was about to murder Genma. Kakashi cocked his head as he walked a little further into the room, noting the way that Naru had backed up until she was close to the other male, almost pressing herself against his side.

Well. Didn't they look cozy.

Kakashi thought darkly as he reached out and grasped Naru by the front of her shirt and yanked her away from the brown haired male and into his arms. She slammed against his torso hard enough to almost knock the air from her lungs as he wrapped his arms around her and gave the other male a mean look, as if he were daring him to say or do something that he could hurt him for.

"If that's true then you wouldn't mind if I borrowed her for a little bit." Kakashi said as he ran his fingers through her long silken hair. There was a subtle threat in his tone. A soft promise of retaliation that would be swift, brutal and very, very painful.

"As long as she come's home in one peace and with a smile on her face. Have fun man." Genma said as he held his hands up, palm out to show that he didn't care one way or another as Naru made a funny sound a looked at him as if she'd like to scratch his eyes out.

Kakashi frowned at him but gathered Naru close to him and used a teleportation jutsu to teleport them out of the room before Naru could say or do anything.

(**************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************)

They reappeared in the living room of Kakashi's child hood home before he let her go. Naru stumbled away from him and growled at him like a wild animal. "What the fuck is you're problem?" She snapped at him as he tugged off his headband and set it in a little bowl sitting on a small table beside the front door and then pulled out his wallet and keys and dropped them in there too.

"I could ask you the same thing. But considering that your lover just handed you over to me without a fight, I suposse that you're temper is to be expected."

"He's not my fucking lover you jerk!" Naru shrieked at him, her face a lovely shade of pink from embaressment. Kakashi shrugged his shoulders. Boyfriend, lover, fuck buddy, they were all technically the same so he didn't see much of a distinction between the words. He had merely used the word lover figuring that it was less insulting to her.

"Whatever you say." He said smoothly as he unzipped his vest and slipped it from his shoulders. She bared her teeth at him as he walked by her and sat down on the couch against the wall several feet away.

"Come and sit down for a bit Naru."

"No. I'm leaving." Naru snapped as she walked over to the door and opened it and stomped out as Kakashi bit back a chuckle and waited for her to run into the barrior that he had set up around the house and it's yard to trap her.

He knew the exact moment that she ran into the barrior because of the string of very violent and invintive curses she shouted at him from outside, and laughed. A man didn't kidnap his reluctant bride without a plan to try and get to know her, and he had had this plan ready to go since he had first started looking for her after she had left. Naru came stomping back into the house and slammed the door so hard that it rattled on it's frame and he gave her a smug look.

"You sorry son or a bitch-"

"You know love, I've noticed that you have a dirty mouth. Shall I clean it out for you?"

"Touch me and you'll suffer a fate worse than death." Naru growled at him as she walked over to another table and picked up a lamp and ripped the cord out of the wall and then looked at him, her intention showing clearly in her angry expression.

Crap.

Why did he always end up with the hellions? And why did they always want to crack his head open with something?

"Naru put the lamp down. If you don't..." He warned softly as he slowly stood up, he didn't want to be held accountable for what he might do to her if she threw the lamp, but he knew deep down that he wouldn't hurt her. He might want to throttle her for her little tantrum but he wouldn't give in to temptation.

She threw the lamp anyways and he let out a low feral growl and let his chakra flair around him, creating an almost tangible wall between himself and the lamp and used it to shatter the antique copper and blue lamp into a thousand pieces as he closed the distance between them, the shards of glass cracking and crunching under his feet.

He got within reaching distand, and Naru reared back her hand to strike him, and he gave her a dark smile and lifted his hands and wiggled his fingers at her. "Alright love, lets see what you've got-" But she had better make it good, or he was going to spank her.
