Author's note

As this is another chapter that was written with my phone, please excuse my mistakes.

This chapter was partly inspired by prescripto 13 comment from last chapter, hence it was called twelve o'clock. And that the exchange of identity was inspired by your own work, 夢兒君, I love the pair that you wrote in your stories. Love the sensei with glasses.

Enjoy!

An was looking out of the window as he was resting, lying against his assistant. He placed his head on the man's chest, listening to the man's heartbeat. "Kazu-kun, you are certain that you are not going to the party with me?"

"Hai, since Madara-san has asked you to go with him, I don't see why you don't want to go with him, An-sama..." Kazuhiko replied quietly, pushing his own thoughts away. He knew that they needed to sort out this bitter triangular relationship someday, but it wasn't the right time now.

"Kazuhiko..." An pushed himself up slightly, with his hand using the man's chest as support. "If you ever want to leave me, its fine. Just tell me. I will let you go."

"That's not what I meant, An-sama. Since the day that I have abandoned the name of Namikaze, I have made up my mind..."

"It's the same for me, don't you know that, Kazuhiko?" The vampire lower his voice as his anger raised. Without the seal, Lucifer's remaining power affected his emotions dramatically.

The man sighed softly as he removed his disguise, revealing his soft blond hair and clear blue eyes. "Hush... Let's not talk about this right now, without L-san, I don't want to see you get hurt." He ran his fingers into the silver threads, trying to calm the vampire down.

"Kazuhiko…"

"An… hush…" the assistant continued to calm the vampire as he added, "I will never leave you. You know that… it was not solely because of the name of the Namikaze. It was not because of the eternality; and it was not because I rescued you on that day in the forest. I believe in destiny. It was similar to the relationship between Kashi-kun and Naruto. If it was destined, I would not go again the Will."

"If there was such Will, I then truly wondered. If neither of us have sealed the desires of the two most powerful angels in the world, then we would not have such situation. Only if we could ever get a glimpse of the true story…"

"Only if we understand…" Kazuhiko sighed at the end.

Hours later, around 11 o'clock in the evening, most of the young villagers were presented in the venue, while the children were accompanied by their parents, making their way home, with buckets full of candy. Kakashi and Naruto were making their way out of the hall. Naruto grabbed the vampire's hand tightly, making sure that he wouldn't loss him.

"I hoped you have enjoyed the party, Kakashi," he said, as he was happy that he held the vampire's hand for so long. He was happy because even though he has Shikamaru and Choji to go to the party with him, it was different. Not just because that the vampire wasn't hesitated to play with him, unlike Shikamaru, who has a tendency of calling everything troublesome. It was the fact that they were like couples, just like the way that couples behaved as he has seen when he was younger.

When they have reached the hotel, outside the Kakashi's room, the vampire said, at the end, "I have a great time. Oyasumi."

"Wait," Naruto whispered, as he stopped the vampire to put his mask on. He grabbed the hand, prevented the mask to cover the face that he still admired, no matter how many time he has seen the face. He leaned and pressed, pinning the vampire on the door with his torso. He leaned closer and closer, until their lips were almost detached. He could hear the vampire's breath, feeling the essence of living. They were so close that they were sharing the same oxygen in the air, taking in the oxygen that was once in the vampire's lung. "Kakashi…" he murmured in the sexiest tone, that even himself has never heard of. "Because of you, I have realised that I have grown up, just in such short period. If I do not know the consequences, no matter what justification you could fill me in, I want you."

"Naruto…" Kakashi countered softly, as he was not certain whether he should push the young man away. He missed the man badly. Even though it was so obvious and that he might have repeated this numerous times, there was no way that he could explain himself. The emotion was just rich, and yet complicated. "It's…"

The vampire was sealed by the young man's lips. It was a small kiss, but it was everything. Naruto pulled the mask up as the first rang of the bell was echoing in the forest. No matter what the vampire has been hiding away, he knew that there was nothing was more important than the safely of the village that he loved. "Kakashi," he pulled the normal grin, covering his true emotion that accidentally took over his cover. "You have to wait for my good news. Once I have found out the truth behind your mask, I will be there for you."

"Hai…" Kakashi beamed warmly, first time ever. He has been hiding his true emotion, trying his best to not to step across the line. But it was Uzumaki Naruto, one of the most unexpected, incalculable people that he has met throughout the centuries.

"Well… Oyasumi!" Naruto released his grips and bowed softly. "I, sadly, will only see you when you leave the village. My schedule has been stuffed and I could not run away from Iruka sensei's catch…"

"Don't worry about it. We will see each other again, won't we?"

"Hai," the man grinned as he rubbed his hair. He still wanted to talk to the vampire, but he ran out of topics; and that it was not obvious that whether Kakashi wanted him to stay.

Just before their conversation turned cold, Madara decided to save the situation. He has been there, round the corner as the pair arrived, standing right outside the door.

"Kakashi," Madara stepped out of the shadow, pretending he was just walking across. "Tenzo-chan was looking for you."

"Okay…" Kakashi nodded softly as he knew that Madara was there moment ago. He knew that there was something the remaining Uchiha wanted to say. "I will be right there."

On the other hand, Naruto was not aware of the exchange of information between them and made his way toward the stairs. "Oyasumi, Kakashi… and of course, you, mister."

Once Naruto was out of their sight, Kakashi spoke, almost whispered, "I know what you are going to tell me, Madara. I know it clearly. I also know that An-nii has his own difficulties… but it's something that can be controlled…"
