Kakashi left the lunch room looking pretty confident, but inside he was banging his head.

What the hell?! Yeah, 'She'll pick me' he mocked himself. He let out a deep breath.

"Okay back to work." He walked over to his post and spent the rest of the day thinking up a plan.

"Ruki, are you sure?" Naruto looked at Iruka who was currently trying to fit his broad shoulders into one of Naruto's nightgowns.

"Yes." Iruka finally managed to defeat the wild gown and it fell loose around his body. "You are right. It is a bit unfair for you to have to marry a guy and live in secret, so I'm giving you tonight." Iruka pointed his finger at Naruto. "Just tonight."

"Thank you Ruki-kun!" Naruto ran at him an embraced him tighly. "So, how do I get out of here?" Iruka pulled open a bag he'd brought with him from the servants' quarters. He opened it up and inside was a blanket made rope already tied.

"You're insane." Gasped Naruto as he took a look at the rope and down out of the window to the massive drop had he happened to slip.

"The only way." Iruka looked so silly holding a blanket rope and wearing a pink nightgown.

"Okay where do I tie it?" Naruto grabbed the rope and threw the end out of the window.

"What a long day. Not to mention boring." Kakashi leaned against a wall he had just been guarding.

"Tired Kakashi?" The voice came from the darkened corner of the wall.

"Very. What do you have in mind."

"Well, they opened up a new tavern." Asuma came out of the shadows in a cloud of smoke.

Kakashi groaned. "Okay let me go home and change. I'll meet you there in an hour."

"Sure. We're all going. Except the girls, they said they had better things to do than to hang out with, and I quote, 'smelly, old men'." Mocked Asuma.

"Ja." Kakashi rested his body on his feet and dragged his way to his home. It was pretty large comparatively. It was built to accomodate a couple and three kids. The king had made the houses for the twelve of his top knights. They lived far better than the rest of the population because they had earned it.

Pulling off his heavy armor was a big relief on his tired shoulders. It instanly revitalized him to a happier mood. He jumped into the showering room and took a quick one.

"Kinda cold in here isn't it?" He asked nobody in particular. He closed all of his windows and made his way to the bedroom to change. He was wearing a regular t-shirt and loose jeans. He grabbed a matching mask and slipped it over his head and onto his mouth. Kakashi leaned over his bed to close the window in that room before he left. He then noticed a small boy with long blonde hair neatly tied with a cord near the base of his neck. His hair almost reached his ankles it was beautiful with the moonlight. Kakashi closed the window and made his way outside forgetting his keys and wallet inside of the now locked house.

"Hey, boy, you can't be out this late." Kakashi ran up towards the kid. He kept his hands at his sides. He was wearing very loose fitting jeans. The only place they seem to fit right was at his hips. Kakashi stopped his running when he noticed the boy stopped and turned to face him. He seemed almost exited to see Kakashi. His pants were very low on his hips and the black trim of his underwear was visible at all times. Naruto tugged at his shirt as Kakashi got closer.

Kakashi lowered his voice. "You can't be out this late there is a curfew for all kids under 15. I'll escort you home." Naruto looked up at Kakashi. His big beautiful blue eyes stopped all thought and reason in Kakashi's mind. Naruto had left two long bangs of golden hair to the front of his face which skirted about his face as he moved.

"What's your name, kid?" Kakashi had never seen eyes so captivating.

Naruto stood up proudly and place one of his small hands on his exposed side and the other to his chest as he said. "Naruto." He smiled and his eyes curved into small moons. He let out a small laugh and extended his hand. "What is your name? Nice to meet you."

Kakashi lifted an eyebrow and took a closer look. "Kakashi." He offered his hand in return and against his hands which were long ago caloused by horse reins and sword fight he felt smooth, soft tiny hands which seemed to petite for any boy his age. Kakashi looked at Naruto's chest to assure himself it was a boy. He was.

"Where do you live? I need to take you home."

"I'm 17." Naruto smiled again. He'd released his shirt which was just centimeters from the edge of his pants.

"Oh, my mistake." Kakashi relaxed his stance and rubbed at the back of his head.

Naruto laughed at the older man and Kakashi soon joined his laughter.

"Well, I'll be leaving." Kakashi turned at started making his way to the tavern.

"Okay." Naruto followed him two steps behind.

Kakashi noticed this and stopped suddenly making Naruto slam into his back.

"Itai!" Naruto held his nose.

Kakashi laughed. "Its your fault why are you following me?" Naruto looked up at him with large watery blue eyes. "Did you really hurt yourself?" Kakashi stopped laughing and got closer to Naruto. In the dark he couldn't tell Naruto was bleeding, but he could smell the blood. "I'm so sorry. Here hold it like this." Kakashi pinched his nose tightly which made Naruto whine. "You aren't from around here are you?"

"I am." Lied Naruto.

"It doesn't matter. As long as you don't blow up the castle I don't care who you are." He released Naruto's nose. As the clouds moved again from shading the moon Naruto's face lit up and reflected the moonlight itself. Kakashi still held Naruto's chin and was tempted for some reason to move in closer and kiss the young man.

"Kakashi?" Naruto moved back from the tall handsome stranger. "It stopped bleeding. Thank you."

"Oh, right." He released Naruto's face. "Sorry. You have stunning eyes." Right then and there Kakashi wanted to grab his sword and poke his own eye out. What kind of line is that? Why waste it on a guy? A very beautiful guy.

"Thanks." Naruto blushed and held his hands nervously. "So, what do you eat?" Stupid. Stupid. He manged to smile at Kakashi's bewildered look.

Kakashi laughed "You're hungry. Okay wanna go somewhere?" Kakashi once again was internally smacking himself around.

"Sure." Naruto followed Kakashi.

"Where to then?"

Naruto went blank for a second, but was quick to answer. "Anywhere they serve ramen."

"Ichiraku no Ramen it is. I've heard they cater to the princess, so it must be good."

Naruto went silent. "The princess?"

"Yeah, they say she's beautiful."

"I doubt it."

Kakashi turned around. "Really?"

"Yeah. If she is so pretty why not let her out?"

The continued walking and talking about the princess. It was until their meal had ended that Kakashi noticed his wallet was gone.

"I got it." Naruto pulled out a crumpled bill from his pocket. He pushed the change deep into the small pocket and stood to leave.

"Thanks for all the fun." Naruto couldn't believe he wasted his only night out with a random old guy he met in the street. It was fun though.

"Leaving so soon?" Kakashi couldn't help himself. "Could you stay a bit longer?" he asked after Naruto nodded.

"Sure."

"I need to find my wallet. Maybe I left it at home." He searched his pockets for the keys as they made their way to his house. "I don't have them on me."

"Use a window." Naruto smiled.

"I never lock them, but I did today. The only one open is the bathroom window." Kakashi walked to the side of the house where the small window was. He peeked in and noticed his keys and wallet on the counter in another room.

"I can help you get up there." Naruto locked his hands together as if to offer a boost.

"Your hands are made of silk and twine." Joked Kakashi. "Plus I'm too big to fit." He then looked at Naruto.

"What?" After a second he answered. "Oh, no I'm not going up there."

"Kakashi higher." Naruto was hanging on to the window ledge by his finger tips. "Got it." He slid open the window and pulled himself up. His butt was right in Kakashi's face. "Naruto, I think you need pants that don't look like they belong on a girl. I can see your -- everything." Naruto laughed and pulled himself all the way in. "They are girl pants." He yelled out.

"What?" Kakashi ran to the front door. He heard the locks open and the door knob twist.

"I said 'they are girl pants'" He pulled open the door and allowed Kakashi in.

"Why are you wearing girl pants?" Kakashi couldn't stop looking at the super low rise now that he knew they weren't men's clothes.

"Long story." Naruto took a seat on the bed where he'd followed Kakashi.

"Well, do you have to go soon?" Kakashi sat next to him.

"Yes, actually? Do you have the time?" Naruto stood up.

"It is late. 2 am." Kakashi removed his pants and put on pajama pants and walked shirtless to the living room where Naruto had wandered off after he heard the time.

"I've got to get--" Naruto stopped mid-sentence to have a look at Kakashi.

"To get?" Kakashi waved his hand over his abs as if to wake up Naruto from his enchantment.

"Home." He finished softly.
