An took out his silver pocket watch once his assistant went out for the toad. He looked at the time and dropped it back to his jean pocket unhurriedly. He turned to the Toad Senin, "I think it is about time, Jiraiya."

"You are sure that you want me to come along?" the said man asked in a more serious tone. "I have come to aid with senpai's request. But introducing me in such moment…"

"Then, give me 30 minutes, I should able to fix the problem," An concluded. He took a bottle of red liquid and went out.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooo

In the other room, Naruto was waking up by the sun. He opened his eyes slowly as he was pulling himself together. It seems so fade. It was not real at all. He thought of the night when they were joined as one. He felt the weight and the presence of the vampire, sharing the same bed. He glanced at the vampire's long curvy eye-lashes and blushed. Holding the vampire seems so unreal; claiming the vampire as his lover this quickly was expected.

He drew the curtain as he saw the warm sunray shining on their skin, revealing the tattoo on his lover's body. He dig his nose into the soft silver hair and breathed in the musky aroma. "Kakashi…" he murmured. His stomach grumbled and so he decided to leave the bed to get him clean, as his body was covered in sweat and body fluid. He placed a soft kiss by his lover's forehead and put on his boxer.

The whole experience was new, as he washed himself. He studied the scratch marks that were left on his body. He flushed as he remembered the night. He remembered the presence of the ghosts and how they were echoed with each other. He traced the red lines with his index finger softly, as he grinned like an idiot. He obviously knew that the vampire did it on purpose, yet he enjoyed it deeply. His manhood rose as he thought. This remained him the days when he was in his early teens. His hands travelled down and grabbed hold of it.

A pair of cold hands prevented him as they grabbed hold of the warm shaft. "Morning," the owner whispered softly from behind. He stroked in an up-down motion, while he blew his breathe by the blond's ear.

"Ka…kashi…" the blond groaned as the vampire increased his grasp, sending the blond to the peak.

He dropped himself to the back, resting against the vampire's chest as he breathed heavily. "Your tattoos…" he spoke, "I thought it would only show up under the sun."

Kakashi tightened his grasp as he stared at his tattoos by his right arm. He sensed the arrival of the Toads. He would miss the blond. More precisely, he was already beginning to miss his presence. "I will tell you later, but this isn't the right time."

The knock by the door saved the situation as they put on the dressing gowns. Kakashi opened the door and saw his aniki standing by the fame, holding a bottle of red liquid. The vampire leader studied the exposing skins as he grinned, "may I?"

"Only if you don't smirk like this, An-nisan," Kakashi replied as he stared at his aniki, as he opened the door widely.

"Hai hai," An replied, as he sat himself on the sofa. He waved at Naruto to come and sit down as the blond was bit helpless, as he was not sure how he should face the vampire leader. "Relax, Naruto. I just come to get rid of Kakashi's tattoo."

Naruto sat quickly as he was concerned of the vampire's tattoo. "Isn't the tattoo only show under the sun? Why is it still revealing?"

An pulled Kakashi closer, as he unplugged the bottle. The smell of the lily of the valley rushed out and filled the room. Both An and Kakashi's iris changed, revealing their original colour.

"Lily of the valley," Naruto exclaimed. "I thought it only exists in the legends."

"It is rare, but it exists. Just like us, the Sasaki, loads thought that we are just one of the myths that the pagan has kept for centuries," An replied as he poured some of the liquid on his palm. "You remember the meaning? I pretty sure Hashimara would have included this part into the study programme."

"Ano…" Naruto tried to recall, "Eve's Tears… As well as Mary's Tears. It meant to protect us from evil, prompting the visions of the heaven. But isn't it in white colour?"

"I guess I have actually underestimated you, Naruto. I thought you are not keen in academics," An grinned as he rubbed the oil onto Kakashi's skin, making the tattoo to sink back to the bones. "That's the normal lily of the valley, which you can see the engraving by the Konoha gate. However," he added, "this is not the same. This is the blood lily…"

"It is the sins of the Sasaki," Kakashi added softly, "yet, for An-nisan and I, they were our blessings. This is the only way to get rid of our sinful marks."

An opened his mouth, but then decided to keep silence. He only murmured in an ancient tongue as he rubbed the oil, removing all the tattoos on Kakahsi's left arm.

The room was filled strongly with the floral scent. Naruto watched the pair in silence, as the elder vampire removed all the tattoos from the limbs of the younger vampire. He remembered the class that he had with Iruka sensei. He thought of the alternative meanings of the flower.

'If any of you have ever had the chance to see one lily of the valley during your missions, it is also symbolised the meaning of marriage. The presence of the flower is not just the tears of sorrows from the Ladies, but it is also indicating the tears of joy. Only the powerful relationships, the destined ones, will have the chance. To some, it is also a good chance to think again, whether they have held the correct hands to walk though the journey of life.' That was what his sensei had said, but he could not remember the remaining, as his female classmates were deep in their daydreams, thinking of getting married with the Uchiha, his best friend, for that time.
