Author's Note

夢兒君: That's where I took the idea from, to be honest, as I wanted to fill the gap before this chapter comes up. And that it was partly because Sakumo agreed with what An-kun is planning, taking away Micheal's Desire, and so he would no longer be with his son after centuries. And for Jiraiya, he would be here soon, after I manage to pull these two together first. lol

Prescripto13: As what I said above, Sakumo's act is reflecting the fact that he agreed with An-kun and he wanted to let his son know that he is proud of him. It is one of the plots that I have laid previously and as it is getting closer to the end, so I have to explain all the facts before it is finished!

krito1389: well, that's the problem I was troubling previously, as my setting was that An was stuck between Kazuhiko and Madara and that I was not sure which one he would choose at the end!

Ooooo

After the brief conversation, Tenzo decided to take his leave, leaving the blond to stay with his senpai. There were plenty of issues that he has been bombarding with. As one of the students that the vampire leader has taught, he has helped out, to conceal the fact that the leader was found unconscious. Even though they have been in good terms with the Konoha and other Churches and organisation; vampires, to some, were top target on the list, due to various reasons, not plainly due to religious.

Naruto felt relax as the wood jutsu user left the room. The said vampire was kind and polite, but somehow he just felt tense when the vampire was around. He looked at the silver haired vampire, who was sleeping. He thought of the dreams that he had, the words that his silver haired lover echoed. He wondered whether it was the ghost that was by his side all the time, or as some philosopher believed, it was his past life. He did not understand and that he was not keen to find out why. Things would not change even if he found out the truth. He found himself fallen in love with the vampire in front of him, simple as that. No reason or explanation needed. If he has to consider various issues, he wondered whether he would hate his guardian, whether he would simply hate the Church, doubting the faith that he was bought up with.

While he waited, he looked around the room, trying to imagine the life of his soon-to-be lover. He tried to imagine the days that the vampire has spent in the room, reading. He switched on the record player, as he felt the room was too quiet, as the sea waves echoed in the room. A rich baritone soon began to fill the room.

'I can wait forever if you will. I know it's worth it all the spend my life alone with you…'

Naruto heaved as he looked out of the window, seeing the waves hitting the white chalk cliffs, thinking of the lyrics. He was not an immortal; he did not understand the pain of the eternality. However, with the song, the baritone guided him, showing him the grief.

"N-naru?"

Naruto turned quickly, as he heard the call. He heard of the call during his dreams. His soul was pounding as he heard the love; even it was just two simple syllables. "Kakashi, you are awake?"

The said vampire smiled softly. "Hai. I have slept long enough. Let me freshen up," he said as he was making his way to the bathroom, "just treat here like your home. Not sure whether Yamato has told you, but this is my room, normally people don't come here."

"Ok," Naruto replied, "take your time." He shut up as he found himself sounding a bit dumb, as it was Kakashi's room. He was glad that the vampire has woken up, yet he was nervous. The reason that he paid the visit was not as simple as he thought it would be initially. Although no one was rushing him to make the confession, to confess his love, somehow, he just felt that there was a distance between the vampire and himself and he wanted to draw the vampire closer.

On the other hand, it was the same for Kakashi. Even he has been confessed to previously, he was nervous. He wanted to know how the young blond would express his love. Yet, the hunger lured inside him, he needed to control. He quickly freshened up himself and poured himself a glass of water.

Naruto observed the vampire quietly. His mind was spinning, his heart was beating rapidly. He focused at the way the vampire's throat moved as he swallowed the liquid.

The room was filled with tension and desire as they looked at each other. Naruto turned his gaze away and brushed his soft blond hair uncomfortably. "Ano-sa…" he verbalised nonetheless. "Kakashi, I have read enough as you have requested when we were still in Konoha last time… I…" He looked at the vampire desperately. He has thought and planned what he was going to say, while he was on the way to the mansion and the time when he was simply sitting here, looking at the vampire. But now, he just loss his words and being desperate to express his feelings did not aid his mind.

Kakashi, on the other hand, was not sure what he should say. He wanted the man to decide. He could not help nor wave the man's passion off. He waited patiently, while he suppressed his urge to blood. He has been sleeping for half a day and that he did not eat much recently, as his body was still weak. Having refrigerated blood did not aid his body to recover. His aniki has been warning him for the century, after he refused to take blood from the living flesh. His stomach was squealing, demanding attentions.

Naruto laughed in relief as he stood up and approached the vampire. He sat next to the vampire. "What I have been thinking…" he said, in slight annoyance. "What I was going to say… doesn't really matter. I just want to tell you, Kakashi, I want to be with you. Just take my blood. What happened in the past is already long past away. We have the time now called present. It does not really matter to me what was before nor what is coming up. I just want to be with you. It's simple as that. I really like you."

Kakashi remained in silence, which made Naruto slightly nervous. "Hey, please give me some response okay?" Naruto asked nervously, "your silence is scary."

"You…" Kakashi finally spoke softly, as he was recovering, "you really don't care?" He never really cared what other sees in him, but somehow, the man in front of him was the exception.

"Really, dattebyo." Naruto nodded vigorously as he never thought that the vampire would doubt. "Your ex-lover has been showing images when I was sleeping, but I don't care, really. What I care is now, Kakashi, that you love me."

Kakashi grinned as he heard of the word "ex-lover", he leaned closer, so that his nose almost touched the blond's. He took of his disguise, revealing his mismatch eyes. He looked into the azure eyes and then slowly, tracing the man's jaw line down to the neck with his tongue. He pressed the jugular vein, feeling the blood slowly travelled back to the heart. He released his fang, barely touching the skin. He only pinned his teeth as the young man pressed his head down to his neck. The warm blood flow into his body. It was filling and taking the hollowness away. "Naru, no matter which family you belongs to, suki dayo."
