"Thank you. For saving me that time and...the seven or eight times after. And thank you for...for...watching us all...so much. You...really...do live up to...the Fourth Hokage's expectations... Your...father would be so...proud..." Sarutobi said before his breathing slowed and his head fell back and his eyes closed. He was gone a second or so later. And so was Naruto.

The second seal that kept her from being discovered as a female had shattered the second that Sarutobi had died, but she was'nt worried even if someone saw her as she was now. There was'nt much that anyone could do to hurt her now that she had completed the second condition for the seal that held the demon inside of her, and had absorbed it's vast knowledge, and it's even more impressive amount of chakra. The demon itself had perished but that no longer mattered.

Nothing mattered aside form her job, something that she took seriously considering that she was currently looking over the files of the five people who had actually died in today's conflict with Sauna. Handling the families would require delicate work, they would have to have penace of some sort and while the usual penace was a certain amount of money, something that would cover the funeral costs, and serve as a means for the families to pay their bills and take care of themselves for the next few years, however because of the damage from the attack on the village money would be short for a while.

But she was'nt worried, she had already found another way to pay the families of the fallen men. She had more than a kings ransom in cash hidden away in a large vault that the Hokage had comissioned for her to use.

She could easily pay everyone, and remake the money back when she played poker in the slums. Speaking of...she had work to do out of the village. She closed the files and switched off the light in her office, the room next to the Hokage's office and quickly cleaned off the desk and stood up and walked over to the coat hanger and grabbed her black hoodie and slipped it on as she walked out the door.

Three days late-

The turn out to the Hokage's funeral was impressive. Every man, woman, and child in the village showed up to bid their leader a fond and tearful goodbye. Everyone that is but Naruto. For some odd reason or another the kid had made himself scarce since the other day, and Kakashi had'nt been able to find him. No one had. It was as if the boy had up and disappeared off of the face of the earth.

Kakashi was'nt sure if he liked not being able to find the boy. He had been worrying about him since the old man died, but then some of the things that the elder and Naruto had talked about had made him curious too. He had been thinking about what the Hokage and Naruto had talked about and had come to the conclusion that his beloved blond student was hiding things. And Kakashi didn't like that at all.

He had wanted to talk to the kid, had wanted to find out what it was that he was hiding, but he could'nt find the damn boy anywhere. Which was why he was planning on going by Naruto's place after the service was over to see if he was alright. He heard Sauske grumble beside him about Naruto being 'a stupid punk ass loser' and felt the urge to hit the boy for speaking badly about the blond when he could be lying in his apartment at this very moment wounded or something.

He let out a low feral growl as he looked at the raven and the boy wisely shut his mouth. Kakashi was quiet after that, patiently waiting for the service to end and when it did he was the first person to leave.

She had stayed at her apartment. It was maybe the stupidest thing that she could have done on this day since it was the day that Sarutobi was being laid to rest, but she just didn't feel like going to the service. She planned to go see him later tonight to say goodbye.

She had just stepped out of the shower and wrapped herself in a towel when she heard a knock on her door and sighed and hung her head. How many times today did the villagers think that they could attack her before they realised that she just was'nt in the mood to play with them. She had already killed four men, and had just finished washing the blood off for crists sake, she was done, she didn't want to deal with anymore today.

She walked out of the bathroom and grabbed the bloody katana leaning against the wall and walked down the hall and stopped just in front of the door and reached for the knob when she heard Kakashi's voice on the other side.

"Naruto? Are you okay in there?" He called out and nearly jumped out of his skin when there was two audable thuds on the other side of the door, one sounded like it was just inside the door and the other sounded like something had been flung across the room. Probably a weapon. Kakashi thought as he recalled how worried the third Hokage had been about the blond. Had he wanted Naruto to take his organs and use them as his own if he was badly wounded? It was a slightly logical explination, though just a bit outlandish.

The door opened a second later and Kakashi found himself face to face with a busty ash blond beauty with wide violet eyes. He blinked and raised a brow at the blond as the kid stepped back to let him in. "Is this the infamous sexy jutsu that I've heard so much about?" Kakashi asked as he gave the girl a once over.

"No." Came the short clipped answer as she closed the door and turned to look at him.

"Why are you here?" She asked curiously as he looked her over and frowned when he saw what looked like a bite mark on her shoulder and some bruises on her upper arm.

"I came to check up on you and comfort you. Where did you get those marks?"

She looked at the shoulder and arm that he pointed too and made an annoyed sound before muttering something about damn hookers, making him blink in suprise at her. "Where would you have met-"

She cut him off as she walked past him towards the hallway, she needed to get some clothes on. "You really don't want to know." He cocked his head and studied her back for a second. So far he had figured out that she was'nt using the sexy jutsu, meaning that Naruto's sudden disappearance was because she had gone into hiding to keep her secret. But the fact that she had come across hookers somewhere and she had been hurt, even a little bit by said women displeased him greatly.

"Where are you going?" He asked curiously when she started to go down the hall. She paused and turned to look at him, a strange look on her face.

"To get some clothes on."

"If your more comfortable like that, then don't bother." Kakashi said with a shrug. It was'nt like seeing a really attractive young woman running around naked would bother him any. If anything he would end up suffering from it. But then again, if she did decide not to get dressed it would probably be the highlight of his week, maybe even his month.

"I am, but I'm in mixed company and it might give one of us idea's."

Kakashi had the good graces to look offended. He may like porn and such but he was'nt so bad that he would jones after his student without permission, he had his honor after all. "I would'nt-"

"I was'nt talking about you sensei. I was talking about me." Kakashi blinked again and stared at her slack jawed behind that mask of his and shook his head. He had come here to check up on her and comfort her, if that was what she needed right now then he would'nt complain.

"Would that bother you?" He asked her curiously, he wanted to know what was going on in her mind right now. She shrugged, truth be told she had already had dirty thoughts about stripping him naked, and fucking him.

"I could live with it. But could you?"

"I did say that I came here to comfort you earlier...if that's what you need from me I can live with it." Kakashi said seriously and she walked back into the living room and looked him over.

"Lose your clothes, put your hands above your head and don't touch me unless I say you can."
