I don't own Naruto. I only wrote the fan fiction! If some of the characters seem a little OC-ish then I'm sorry - I haven't been keeping up with the episodes so don't bug me, and I might have changed a couple things - that is another thing NOT to bug me about! There may also be other characters in this story that ARE OC so don't start telling me that I added characters...please! (Italic - thoughts or dreams, "..." is speech, and ~~ is flashback)

Upon Arrival

It had grown dark out by the time the boat reached it's destination - Turtle Island - Home of the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki - Killer Bee...who wasn't there at the moment, but that was alright.

Sakura had fallen asleep on Naruto's shoulder.

Sasuke had fallen asleep in Kakashi's arms lying against his chest.

Naruto hook Sakura slightly. "Sakura? Sakura we're here wake up."

"Mn...what?"

"We're here wake up."

"Oh...okay, but what about Kakashi-sensei and Sasuke?"

Naruto looked over. "They're probably asleep..."

Kakashi looked down after hearing Naruto; seeing Sasuke had fallen asleep where he was lying. The jounin smiled and slightly shook the sleepy gennin. "Sasuke...Sasuke."

"Mn...what is it?" He said; his voice was raspy from sleeping.

"It's time to wake up...we're here."

"Here?" He started to ask as he sat up slightly. "Where's here?"

"This island is called Turtle Island. It is the home of the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki, but I don't think that he's here right now."

"Do we need him for something?"

"No."

"Alright then." Sasuke said as he stood after Kakashi let go.

The four got off the boat and walked along large branch-like roads.

"These are weird roads." Naruto said.

"Their branches." Sasuke said.

"Really?!"

"Yeah."

"Whoa...that's neat."

"Is this entire island made of braches?" He asked.

"Probably around 50% maybe more is made of branches, but also take into account that this island also needs support from a land source; meaning rock so that's probably the rest."

"Then what about grass?" Sakura asked.

"That's overtop of the rock."

"Oh okay." Both Naruto and Sakura said.

"One question Sasuke..."

"What's that sensei?"

"How do you know all of this if you've never been here?"

"Just from how everything looks from where we are right now...I can tell."

"Huh...interesting..." Kakashi said before the team was stopped by a cloud ninja.

"Stop where you are!"

The team stopped.

"State your names and business here."

Kakashi went first. "My name is Kakashi Hatake. I was sent here by the Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village to undergo important training."

"I see and you three?"

"My name is Sakura Haruno."

"Are you with him?"

"Yes sir."

"Alright...and what about you." He said pointing to Naruto.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki."

"Are you with those two?"

"Yes I am."

"Okay...and finally you young man."

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha."

"You're with these three yes?"

"That's right."

"Okay...please follow me then."

The team followed the cloud ninja.

"Here is where you can stay. You can contact me with this." He said as he handed Kakashi headset and microphones (the type where you can put them around your neck). "You can give each of your students one as well. They are your students right?"

"Thank you, and yes; they're my students."

"Alright, well my business is finished here. Please enjoy your stay."

"Thank you."

The cloud ninja left the four ninja in the small house.

"Alright. We'll set up for the day, and we'll start our training tomorrow. Is that alright with everyone else?"

"Yup." Naruto and Sakura said together; Sasuke stayed quiet as usual.

"Sasuke?"

"Huh?"

"Is that plan alright with you?"

"Yeah."

"Okay good."

"Where will we be sleeping?" Sakura asked.

"Well, seen as how there are only three bedrooms, two of us will have to sleep in the same room." Kakashi said.

"Could I have my own room please Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked.

"Sure."

"Sweet thanks." Naruto said picking the first room. "

Sakura? What about you?"

"Um...if it's not trouble could I have my own room too?"

"Of course you can."

"Thank you." Sakura said before walking into the second room.

"That means you and I will share the last room. Unless you'd rather have one of us sleep on the couch and the other can have the bedroom?"

"I really don't care..."

"Alright then, let's go set up."

"Right."

"He's being hard to talk to again...was he being serious on the boat ride here?" Kakashi thought. "Oh I almost forgot..." Kakashi said; catching the gennin's attention.

"What?"

Kakashi put the orange tinted goggles in Sasuke's hand. "These are yours to keep. Don't lose 'em."

"B-but I thought you'd-"

"Forget him Sasuke...they're yours now. He's in the past...behind me now."

"S-sensei...I don't know what to say..."

"Wear 'em tomorrow...that's all I'll need to see. You don't need to say anything." The jounin said before removing Sasuke's headband. He kissed the boy on the forehead and put his headband with the bag that he'd put on the floor.

"Why would you want to give these to me anyway? I'm not really..."

"Not really what?"

"Not really...anything...special..."

Kakashi crouched in front of Sasuke. "Sasuke...you mean more to me than anyone or anything else in the world. You're very special to me. Don't ever think that you're not anything special even when you really are. You hear me?"

"Yeah...I know..."

Kakashi stayed silent.

"I just wanted to hear you say it..." The gennin's said with a smirk.

"Why you little..."

"What?"

Kakashi sighed. "It's nothing."

"Okay...whatever you say..."

"I mean it."

"Alright."

"Are you doubting me now?"

"Nope." Sasuke said before he turned and saw only one bed. "Uh sensei?"

"Yeah?"

"There's only one bed..."

Kakashi looked over at the bed. "Oh yeah...so there is...huh...what ever shall we do?" He teased.

"I think I know what you're thinking?"

"Do you Sasuke?"

"I said I think so."

"Alright then tell me...what was I thinking about?"

"You were thinking about when I stayed at your place...and slept in the same bed as you...right?"

Kakashi's cheeks flashed a pink-ish red...Sasuke was right. He gulped. "T-that's correct..."

"See I knew-wait what?! I was right?"

"Yup...you were right...that is exactly what I was thinking about..."

Sasuke saw the blush that had spread across his sensei's face. "Why are you embarrassed?"

"I'm not embarrassed."
"Then...?"

Sasuke thought for a moment; only to be cut from thought by soft lip pressing against his.

Kakashi pulled away. "That's what it was."

"Y-you...?"

Kakashi sighed. "Yes...I like you...a lot actually...I..."

"What?"

"I said I...I...I love you"

A deep red blush ran across the Uchiha's face. "Is he serious?!"

"And if you're going to ask, yes I'm serious...dead serious."

Sasuke was speechless; although he didn't want to hurt the man's feelings...he just couldn't speak...all he could do was stutter, but that was it. "I...I-I..." He stuttered; his face was a very deep shade of red. He leaned against the wall and smoothed his hair out of his face; only for his hair to go right back to its original place.

The jounin saw how speech rendered the Uchiha was and walked over and kissed his forehead. "It's okay. You don't have to say anything Sasuke."

"B-but..."

Kakashi put a finger on his lips. "Shhh...I said you don't need to say anything."

Sasuke gulped. "Just...just do it..." He thought to himself. He moved Kakashi's finger away from his lips. "I...I have something you need to hear..."

"And what might that be?"

The gennin gulped again. "I-I...I love you too..."

Kakashi's eyes widened when he heard those words come from the Uchiha's mouth...at first he couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Y-you do?"

Sasuke nodded; now unable to say anymore.

Kakashi took this opportunity to pin Sasuke against the wall he had been leaning on. He decided to press his lips against Sasuke's like last time, but instead went further into the kiss. His hands fumbled around with Sasuke's until he got them above his head; holding his wrists with both hands.

They both pulled away at the same time; both sort of out of breath.

"Is that how much you like me?" Sasuke asked.

"If I could SHOW you how much I LOVE you then I'd be doing something else right now, but I'm not am I?"

"I don't know what that something else is...so I wouldn't know..."

"Sure you do...every time I'd get going with you on something someone would knock on the door...that's your hint."

Sasuke's eyes widened...he did know what the jounin was talking about. "Oh you mean that..."

"Yeah." Kakashi said before he released Sasuke's wrists. He walked over to the bed and lied down. "Come over here."

Sasuke walked over and sat next to the jounin. "What?"

"Lay down."

Sasuke lied down next to Kakashi. "Now what?"

Kakashi put his arms around the boy. "Now you go to sleep."

"And you complain about those seductive moments you create being ruined?"

"Oh stop it."

Sasuke laughed a little.

"Now shut your eyes and get some rest please."

Sasuke sighed. "Okay." He said before shutting his eyes.
