Author's Notes

Actually, I really don't mean to do another update as I still have lots of packing to do! Argh! But nonetheless, since I have the urge to type, I may as well do it and upload. Therefore, please forgive me for the typo, grammatical mistakes or whatever that is, as I have really, to be honest, did not re-read it.

Prescripto13: Yea, I was getting more crazier these days... having random ideas all over the place, as unlike my other story, Nocturne, this is actually less structured as I have not got a firm and clear idea of how the middle would be like, as though I have already decided how the ending would be like... p.s. and for the Kurama bit, you will know more as the story progresses XD

dreamer1084: as what you said, so for this chapter, I kind of "played" around, having them to tease each other a bit, though I am not certain whether it was written in the good way... hahaha...

krito1389: thanks!

Since that day he flew off in a hurried manner from the cafe, Naruto somehow didn't know how to talk to the silver haired vampire again, as he was slightly embarrassed by his own thoughts. He didn't know why that the vampires would have known the man that he has been dreaming of for days. Since that day, after the meeting in the cafe, the dreams were getting more vivid; he could begin to be able to hear his lover's voice. He wanted to ask the vampires, especially Kakashi, as he felt that the vampire began to remind him so much, as if he was in his dreams even during the days.

He began to have the need of touching the vampire which the idea really shocked him. However, he recovered quickly as he was the most unexpected exorcist in the Konoha unit.

He pushed aside his thoughts as he rolled up his black shirt. He has promised the clergy that he would do the gardening, as it was not much to do anyway, saving the old man worked under the sun.

As soon as he arrived at the garden with his tools, he noticed that the silver haired vampire that he has been thinking of all the time was actually at the same tree that they first met, and was reading the bright orange covered book.

He looked at the man for a short moment, and then decided to ignore the vampire as seems the latter did not acknowledged his presence and dug his nose deeply into the book. He turned around and kneeled down onto one of the patches that he needed to work on. He used a trowel to dig holes into the ground and placed the shoots that he collected from the nursery the moment before. He hummed softly as he worked.

Actually, Kakashi did notice Naruto's presence, but he chose to ignore the man, as he did not like to take the initiative. He was somehow slightly upset that the man did not talk to him since that day. He did not understand what has gone wrong, so he decided to dig into his book, while closely observing the man .

He was slightly burnt by the view that was displayed in front of him. The man that he loved was working under the sun, with his sleeves rolled up, showing his lean but muscular arms. He was attracted to the way when the man brushed his sweat off with his back of his hands. The movements were so gracious, and that they reminded him the times when they were together as one. He tried to distract himself by digging into his favourite book even harder as he actually did not want to make the move, even though, theorically, he did; when they were in the cafe last time. But then, it was hard to resist. He missed the man badly. The only thing that he has really hid away from his aniki was that he remembered more than An would have expected; and that he told no one as he would not want to upset his beloved silbing any furthermore.

Naruto slowly, but eventually completed his transplants. The only thing that he needed to do was to water them, making sure they have enough water. He turned on the drizzle, gently spray the plants, moistening the soil. Suddenly, he has an idea; he has not put a plank on anyone for a long time. Therefore, he walked along the garden with the pipe, watering the plants as he went along. He accidentally pointed the pipe to the vampire's direction and tried to spray the latter with water. However, as Kakashi was a vampire, he moved before the water reached him.

This trickered Naruto's heart to fight. He tried a few more time and each time getting more intense. However, he failed miserably, as at the last attempt, Kakashi used a jutsu to rebounce the water, right onto Naruto, making all his clothing soaked in water.

Kakashi put on his cloak, covered his head and transported himself right in front of the man. "Daijoubu? You seems not in shape today."

"I... I am alright dattebyo..." Naruto murmured as he took off his shirt, revealing his muscular chest, while rubbing the water off from his face with the sleeves. "I did not know vampire know how to use jutsus."

Kakashi chuckled, trying to hide his heated gaze, "there're lots that you did not know about us, the Sasaki, Naruto. Not many people manage to obtain the knowledge, as half of the exorcists won't even have the chance to work with us anyway."

"I see..." Naruto continued to murmur as he has just embarrassed himself again. Other than getting the man wet, he actually got himself wet, actually, extremely wet. As he was brushing his hair with his fingers, he realised that the vampire was standing right next to him, under the sun. "Kakashi, daijoubu? Standing right under the sun?"

"Arh... I am still okay. This cloak is designed to the way that it will protect us from the majority of the sun, even though it is slightly on the heated side."

"Then don't stand here," said Naruto as he pushed the man back to the shadow of the tree, "stay under the shade!" He pulled Kakashi's cloak off after they were well within the shadow. "Better?"

"Yea, doumo." Kakashi turned as he wanted to have his cloak back.

But as he turned, Naruto realised that he could not take his eyes off the vampire's neck. As the cloak was rather inappropriate for such warm day, Kakashi has unbuttoned his shirt, in order to have his body to cool off. Pale skin was exposing between the two white fabrics; and his blood was suddenly rushed towards his lower region.

He was relief as he heard his stomach. He realised that it was already tea time, therefore, he decided to invite the vampire to have tea with him. "I don't have blood to offer, but, fancy to have some tea with me, Kakashi? Father Joshua has baked some awesome scones that goes well with the strawberry jams that he made too!"

Kakashi grinned, "well, why not?" He then for once, put on his cloak again. "Let's go!"

Naruto beamed, "sure!" Although he wanted to see a bit more of the flesh, he sighed relievingly as he was not certain whether he could control himself anymore. He did not understand, and totally not willing to make his mind clear; he began to want to jump the vampire, which was one of the worst idea that he has ever thought of, that was for certain. But nonetheless, he was glad, as at least he got hold of the vampire's attention and having tea with him for the second time.
