Even though Naruto wanted to walk Kakashi to their temporary accommodation, the latter was not planning to go back his room, they walked to the community hall as the vampire said that he needed to meet his aniki there.

When they arrived, most of the Sasaki were there, talking to a few Konoha exorcists. As Kakashi went to help his aniki, Naruto was kind of bored and looked around. He saw the young Nara at one corner, with his hands across his chest, leading against the wall. "Shikamaru," he approached happily, "do you know what's going on here -dattebyo?"

"Tch," the Nara replied, "the Sasaki always arrange a live music performance when they come every year. Don't tell me that you did not know, Naruto."

"What! I did not know -dattebyo," Naruto exclaimed. "Nobody invites me before."

Shikamaru rolled his eyes, and replied slightly unwillingly, "you will know later. Are you going stay here and watch?"

"Of course I am staying- dattebyo. Now I find it interesting!"

"Tch...Mendokusee..." Shikamaru said as his gaze returned to the raven who was standing on the stage. He did not want to come along, initially; but he could not resist, as he did not know how to reject the said raven's invitation. He stood there solidly and simply ignored his childhood friend.

While the audience were gradually entering the hall, the Sasaki were focusing at their preparation. An and Kakashi were sitting in front of the piano, arranging An's scores, while Tenzo sat next to them, making new drums with his mokuton jutsu. Sai was arranging the electric cables behind the stage. Neji was tuning his saxophone while another silver haired vampire was tightening his guitar strings.

A masked man suddenly appeared right behind An and Kakashi. He spoke in a very low, but attractive voice, "Have you got a singer today?"

"Madara," An grinned deviously, "I thought you don't want to come back to this place anymore."

"Well," the masked man replied, "only for your music, An. How could I miss such opportunity?"

An widened his grin, "doumo. I am looking forward to hear you sing."

As soon as the audience have gathered around the stage, the music began. Unlike what Naruto was expecting, the music were soft. It was jazz, lazy but magnetic. He understood what his friend was referring before. The music was meant for the lovers, as the audience began to form into pairs and they were dancing slowly, following the rhythm.

After the first two pieces, a masked man walked to the stage and began to sing. Naruto did not recognise the man, but was attracted by the man's voice. The voice was low and magnetic. The way that the singer presented the song was way different to the ones that he listened to previously. However, he much preferred Kakashi's voice instead. He flushed as he realised that he was comparing the men's voice. But he was glad that the room was quite dark as there were only candles by the corners of the room and on the stage.

Another silver haired vampire approached the leader silently after the fifth song. He bent down and whispered to his leader and the latter nodded, and stood up. The vampire leader approached his assistant and wrapped his arms around the man's neck. He moved his body along with the rhythm, inviting the latter to dance with him.

Kazuhiko placed his arms around his master's thin waist and smiled. He placed his gaze to their young protegé and wondering what would the Ekusoshisuto do. And of course, the young man did not fail his expectation.

Naruto slid though the crowd and offered his hand, as he bowed. Kakashi looked at the offer palm, "you are shorter than me, Naruto..."

But Naruto did not give up. Instead, he grinned and made a few hand seals. "Henge no Jutsu, adult"

With a puff of smoke, an older, taller Naruto appeared. He beamed handsomely and offered his hand again. "So may I?"

Kakashi flushed as he looked at the man. He never saw the older version, as the man die in a rather young age previously. He was relief that he has the mask on. He placed his hand on the offered one and let the man guide his hand to the neck. He relaxed as the man pulled him into his embrace.

Naruto's heart was pounding. He has thought about what exactly he was looking after. He has thought about the relationship that he was chasing after. However, once the vampire was right inside his embrace, he has forgotten all his concerns. Nothing could compare the joy that echoing, vibrating from the deepest part of his soul. "Kakashi..."

Kakashi looked up, as the man was now much taller. He looked at the ocean deep blue orbs. A way of electric impulse rushed down his spine as the man called, also murmured his name in the most magnetic and powerful way.

"Kakashi..." the man called again, as if he was not tired and bored by it. "Kakashi." He cupped the vampire's face with his left hand, wanting to brush off the eye pad. It blocked his view. He wanted to see his reflection in both dark orbs.

"Naruto," the vampire touched the hand. "It's for my own good. I cannot take off neither the mask nor the eye pad once I am outside of the Sasaki's territory."

"W-why dattebyo?"

"It's kind of the same as Kurama's seal. I cannot tell you the story now; but it's for my own good."

"Right," the man replied obediently and withdrew his hand. Both of them did not speak, and simply moved their body, following the rhythm that Tenzo was setting with his drums.

"Our love is here to stay..." Madara sang in his low voice as he observed the pair closely. He did not agree with the vampire leader at all, but then he only knew the vampires after the decision has been made. He understood the assistant's concern and he also see it that way. "Not for a year," he moved his gaze away from the pair as he could sense the silence between them, "but ever and a day..."

He looked at the ceiling, reminding him the time when he was here, helping his friend to build this place up. He was here when the other mokuton user laid the foundation of the village. The Konoha unit has existed for a long while, the black-haired mokuton user was just one of the leaders along the line.

The silence between the pair continued, but it did not mean that they were not interacting. Naruto studied the vampire carefully. He was admiring the vampire's eye, the only part of his face that was remained visible. He was admiring the lengthy eye lashes and how they waved as the owner blinked. He scanned though the vampire's face and examining secretly. He could not resist the urge that was building inside him. He has dreamed of an unknown silver-haired man for days, since he met the vampire in the church garden. He has thought how he could find out the true identity of the man who across his dreams everyday. He has an urge to kiss the vampire, as if the man was a magnet. He was attracted by the vampire. He leaned slightly forward, and brushed against the masked lips gingerly. He was afraid that the vampire would push him away.

Kakashi was stunned as the warm lips brushed against his. He missed the feeling and he could not use any words that he knew that could describe the sensation. He did not push the man away and let the latter rubbed his lips with his own. He pulled and raised his head, so that they could stay even more closer, with their chest rubbed against chest.

"They're only made of clay," Madara sighed silently as he sang the last sentence. He wondered how An would separate the pair as he definitely could sense the hormone in the air. The said vampire did not fail his expectation as he managed to distract the young vampire seamlessly and pulled him away from the man.

"Our love is here... ... to... stay... ..."
