Author's Note
Prescripto13: Yes, it must be. When I was still a child, I was imaging one day I could read ancient Egyptian and Mayans... I loved languages, sadly, I am not gifted at all. Nonetheless, enjoy!

p.s.s. the tittle Karera actually meant 'they' in Japanese
ooooo
"Kashi-kun," the vampire called softly on the dinning table. "Kakashi-kun."
Tenzo hit his senpai's waist with his elbow swiftly. He noticed his senpai's daydream for a moment, but he was attached to the conversation that Sai and the others were having. He only could break away until now. "Senpai," he whispered lowly. "An-sama is calling."
Kakashi blinked as he retuned his attention to the room. "Gomen, niisan."
An did not say much furthermore, "come to my study afterwards."
"Hai."
When Kakashi reached the study, the vampire leader was not there, but his assistant was, tidying the documents on the desk.
"Kazu-nii," Kakashi spoke softly.
"Have a seat," Kazuhiko said. "An-sama and I are worried. Putting such amount of memories back to your brain is not an easy act. How are you feeling? We noticed that you have been rather dreamy in some occasions for the week."
"I don't know, to be honest, Kazu-nii…" the vampire replied. "I am rather loss, to some extent, especially when Naruto remembers. I want to see him, but I am not sure how to express my feelings. You and An-nii taught me to control, and so I am afraid that I will not able to restrain myself, no, more exactly, her."
Kazuhiko beamed in relief. "Don't you worry, not just An-sama, Jiraiya and Kurama are here to help. Naruto's training is going well, he would then able to help you to control, holding you back if necessary."
"Actually, with that, I should apologise, Kazu-niisan. If An-niisan was not cared for me, Lilith would not have the opportunity to have a piece of him…"
"It's fine, Kashi-kun," Kazuhiko replied. "There are lots of issues between An… chan and I. The incident with Lilith- san is not that significant. It is just one of the small dots on the path that we have walked… and I have used to it…" He heaved a sigh; "anyway, he should be up with you soon." He stood up and made his way out.
Kakashi looked out, seeing the round moon hanging lowly on the sky. He grabbed the blanket that was lying on the couch armrest, and wrapped around his shoulder. Opened the window and letting the cool summer breeze brushed against his hair and face. His love was never this vivid. He wondered how he managed to live in such empty state for a century. The cold stone coffin has taken most of his senses, making him numb. The only thing that he was glad and grateful was his clansman. Without them, he would be a soulless creature that he read in the myth. Without them, he would be on the same boat as the poor creature that was sealed inside him.
"Naru…" he murmured softly. Love matured as time passed silently. It was getting a bit heavy, like a stone on his heart. It could be bitter, but yet also sweet. Tears dropped in silent on the ground, blurring his sight.
"Tears are good for releasing your tension," An said as he broke the silent.
"Nii-san."
"My paperwork is done. We can off to the mountain tomorrow."
Kakashi wiped his tears with his sleeves, regaining the control from his emotion. He sat opposite on the vampire. His aniki was different after the incident with the succubus. In some way, the said vampire has a hue of glow that was similar to the woman when she left. He felt that it might be a good thing, after all. He always knew there was a gap between his aniki, no matter how good they have portrayed themselves in front of him, when he was a child. No matter how well they have played the house-game, he aware of the hollow. "Hai, niisan."
Ooooo
'Naru…' the wind blew softly, and made its turn in the valley, brining the words along.
The origami wolves heard their master's voice. They raised their ears, listening to the whispers that the wind has bought them.
The blond was sleeping, after a long period of mediation on the plank in the air. He was tired, as it was not an easy task to do.
'Naru…' the wind continued to blow.
The wolves gathered as they exchanged information. The Kyuubi heard their voices, however, they were not supposed to pass on the message to him. Besides, some news had already become history. Parts of their duties were no longer required. They seek for the crane's advice. But then there was nothing much that they could do, according to the bird. They waited patiently for their master's arrival; and for the meanwhile, they accompanied the blond.
"Ne…" the blond spoke softly, "is Kakashi coming soon? I thought I have heard his voice."
The wolves raised their heads, looking at the blond with their small black eyes. The leader of the batch nodded softly in agreement.
"That's great, right?" the blond grinned. "I am glad that you guys understand my words. Even though I am still not sure what Kakashi wants to tell me, but I am happy to see you guys. It's great to have you guys around." He raised his right hand, and cupped his forehead, blocking the bright sunbeam. "I miss him, really really miss him already. Just hope that Kyu-chan can keep him company, just like what you guys have been doing to me."
The wolves did not reply, like always. But after spending weeks with them, Naruto began to figure out some of their postures. "I know you are grinning." He flushed, "I guess you are thinking that I am such a fool. But then, I cannot agree more. Just like what Ero-sennin has said in his books. Nevertheless, I don't really care. The feeling of loving the same person for more than once in a life time is something that cannot be describe with words. Not many one as lucky as I have been… He has become part of my life and soul. I can't wait to see him. Only if I can travel as fast as you guys can be…" He then heaved a sigh, observing the white cloud, just like his raven friend always do. "ne, Kakashi, I am waiting…"
