Kakashi dropped his pack at the door and turned to look at his mate. Five days ago she had been in heat, now she was out of it, her body completely rested and healed from all of the coupling, though the fox ears and the bushy tail remained. A testament to her current condition. Out of the frying pan and into the fire. But he didn't mind. He sort of liked the flame that she had sparked in him. He mused as she finished stuffing the last of her clothes into her pack and fastened it. "Are you ready?" He asked as she looked at him, her furry ears twitching slightly. She nodded and he smiled and held his hand out for the pack.

There was no way in hell he was letting her carry that heavy thing in her condition. If she tripped and fell in a mud puddle, she could easily drown. Then he would be down a mate and a young, and that would piss him off to no end. She handed him the pack after a second or so of hesitation and he smiled at her and wrapped the fingers of his free hand around her wrist and pulled her close to him and brushed his lips against hers in a feather light kiss then let her go and grabbed his own pack.

"Try to keep up, we're going to have to move fast to get back to the village, just in case."

Naru nodded her head and followed him out the door and locked and closed it behind them. "Ready when you are."

"Alright, here we go." Kakashi said as he tensed a bit then took off running, deciding that she might be able to keep up easier if he made a race out of their mad dash back to the village.

Gai cringed and ducked behind the nearest book shelf as several kunai were thrown at him. "The council did WHAT?" Oh, he would kill them for this shit. He would kill them and kill their spouses and their kids and even their family pets! How dare those power mad fools go behind his back and put out an execution order for Naru! And on top of that the fools had sent four-not one. Not two. Not three. FOUR. Of his fucking Anbu and Gai, out to take the girl from her husband while on her honeymoon.

Goddamn them. "I want that execution order pulled and I want those bastards stripped of their power, and dragged through a field of rusted nails naked!" The old man roared in rage.

Gai peeked out form his hiding place at the livid elder, suddenly wishing that he was facing Kakashi when he was feral. A hoard of flying monkeys and an evil witch. Anything and anyone but the pissed off Hokage. "Sir..." The Hokage turned his dark eyes to the junin hiding behind his book shelf and bared his teeth and snarled.

"What?"

"Kakashi should be back in the village soon..."

"So?" Get to the point before I make my own. The elder thought darkly.

"So. Why not let the love birds decide what should happen to the council?" Sarutobi started to reach for some more kunai and paused as Gai's idea clicked in his mind. Yes. Yes, that could work rather nicely. Both Naru and Kakashi were rather cutthroat when they were wronged by someone so, yes that could work. But he still wanted that execution order pulled and the council stripped of their power.

"Fine-" He snapped in irritation as he crossed his arms over his chest and scowled at the jounin. Just when he was looking forward to watching the bastards swing by their necks too. "Strip them of their titles and put them in chains. We'll let them suffer while Kakashi and Naru make their way back." Maybe he could sneak into the Anbu head quarters and rough the fools up a bit.

I hope that Kakashi and Naru are alright. "Gai!"

Gai peeked out of his hiding place again. Was he going to die now? He was, was'nt he? The elder had a smirk on his face that simply didn't bode well for his health. Well Kakashi, we had a great run. Sorry I'm going to miss the birth of your fist born... Gai thought as the elder sat back down in hsi black leather seat.

"Tell me how Kakashi and Naru were doing when you ran into them."

"Kakashi was in heat-" Sarutobi's jaw dropped and his face paled. He stared at Gai for several seconds like that before letting out a high pitch girly scream causing Gai to flinch and put his hands over his ears and swear.

"Quick, barrakade the doors! Board up the windows! Put my desk in front of the door!"

"Sir.."

"Food! We need food! Gai go collect enough food to last us a month-no three months!"

"Sir..."

Sarutobi looked at Gai as he started to shimmy his desk towards the door. "What are you waiting for? Do as I told you!"

"Sir. Kakashi tagged Naru-chan. Their mated now. Completely. He was able to reason when I spoke to him so he should be okay." Sarutobi blinked at him and flushed red and got quiet for a second before glaring at the man and huffing.

"Well, why the fuck didn't you just say so?" The damn fool.
