Author's note

P.s. Hope this chapter revealed more of the secrets that was covered by An san.

P.s.s. This is the first time to write and update with my phone!

Since that day in the woods, Naruto has not seen the vampire, as he was busy; his duty to the unit as well as his search in the record library took most of his time up. On the other hand, Kakashi just like what he has been normally, take the coaching leisurely, making his kohai's life as difficult as always.

It was almost the end of autumn, Konoha was receiving her last batch of fallen leaves. It was Halloween, where the saints and spirits were remembered. It was also the only time where people in Konoha could talk about ghost, evil spirit in a different way, other than the professional method that they carried out in a daily basis. Furthermore, it was also an important day for Sasaki An.

The vampire sat at the cliff, looking down the village. First glimpse of the sun could be seen at the far end of the horizon. A man in black sat next to him, closely, with their shoulders almost touching each other. "Lucifer," the vampire spoke after a long period of silence, "are you going to see M-san?"

"My dear An, when there is a time I will decide to not to see him?" The man, Lucifer stoke An's hair gently. "I discovered my emotions and hence my lust and desires. They are rooted in my heart so deeply that I no longer able to serve. It has lead to my fallen. There is no way that I would let go, especially when I know Michael felt the same for me."

"If I knew that the monster that we have caught was M-san's desire, then I wouldn't have it sealed inside Kashi-kun."

"Even if you know, I doubt Sakumo would have the knowledge. The only thing is that with such seal, he cannot be with an Uzumaki... If we have known that earlier..."

"I am working on that... Lucifer... Sealing your desire inside my ancestors and myself only cause our clan have almost infinite lifespan, but sometime our decision failed the experiences that we have gained."

"Don't be so harsh... Sasaki were just alchemists, still moral souls from the beginning. Even I have seen the darkest corner of the endless underworld, there are still evilness and horror that could stun me... Nonetheless, my time is limited, I must fly as fast as I could. See you in two days time."

As soon as the black wing angel flew, An collapsed into Kazuhiko's embrace. Withdrawing the power that was sealed always weakened him, but then that was the sin of their clan.

Later on that day, Naruto managed to get out of his duty early and decided to invite the vampire to the halloween party, even though he did have a minute of hesitation. "Ano sa, Kakashi, fancy to go to the party with me tonight? I really want to go with you-dattebyo!"

"I haven't prepare any costume, Naruto. I am not planning to go at all," the vampire replied as he closed his orange book.

"I know, I have been asking around yesterday and even got your costume sorted... Only if you are willing to go with me, Kakashi."

Kakashi tilted his head, looked slightly more interested. "So what you have?"

"An-san didn't explain, but gave me this necklace. He said you could go without the mask and eye patch if you wear this. But only last till midnight..." He took out the said necklace and continued, "you can be the priest for a night and I can be the vampire instead."

The vampire looked even more interested, "sounds attractive enough, what else?"

Naruto took off his priest collar and stepped closer. He first wrapped his arms around the vampire's neck gingerly, in order to put on the necklace. Then he placed his priest collar on the vampire's shirt.

Kakashi stiffened as the young man stepped closer. He could sense the warmth and the smell of the priest. He wasn't just wanting the blood but everything of the man. He was relived that the cold stone of the necklace calmed him down, suppressed his desires. Even the man withdrew, he could still feel the presence, via the small collar. He took off his cloak, and wrapped it around the young man. "You cannot be a vampire without this cloak."

"Doumo," Naruto grinned and his ears were slightly redden. He pretended to adjust the cloak, but truly he wanted to feel the remaining heat. "Also..." he searched his pocket, and pulled out a small, purple lens monacle. "Here," he reached out slowly, wanting to take of the mask and the eye patch. He paused for a second so that the vampire could have a chance to reject.

However, Kakashi placed his hand on top of the man's. "Go on, An-nii gave that necklace as a temporary seal, you have to escort me home tonight." He guided the young man to take off the items and put the len on his left eye, which was, unexpectedly with a red iris instead of the blue that Naruto has seen. "It's one of my secrets, which I am giving you a hint now."

Naruto looked into the mismatched eyes. "Arigatou. Trust me, Kakashi, if I am afraid of knowing the secrets, if I cannot accept who and what you are, then there's no point for you to be with me. I am serious as I felt that I have been with you for centuries. I hoped that it was me who have spent time with you."

"That is your task, Naruto. I am looking forward to see your respond... To be honest," Kakashi spoke quietly as he suppressed his urge to express his love. It was simply not the only right time. The young man has to know the truth before anything could be possible.

Naruto grinned happily as he could tell that in some way, he hoped, that the vampire felt the same. This proven that his dreams were true. They were not his imagination, but his part memories. He also looked forward to see the vampire in the Sasaki village next year. Nonetheless, they still have a party to go. "My ekusoshisuto-san, may I go to the party, as your beloved vampire assistant?"

Kakashi looked though the purple lens and beamed, "yes, you may, my assistant."
