Three months later-

Kakashi sat on his bed waiting anxiously for Naru to finish tinkering around in the bathroom. It had been over an hour since they'd been married in the qaint little church that Kakashi used to go too as a child.

And he'd been patiently sitting here the whole time trying hard to get a grip on himself while Naru tried to mentally prepare herself for what was to come.

He wasn't sure, but he thought he could make out the sound of a scrubbing brush being dragged back and forth across something. Which meant that Naru was trying to avoid the inevitable because she was nervous.

It was a habit that he'd observed many times in the brief three months since proposing marriage to her. She did it when she was angry, nervous- when she was bothered by something or upset in general.

So of course the thought of what was going to happen between them tonight was enough to get her upset. At least a little bit.

His lips twitched slightly in amusment despite the bizarre fluttering in his stomach and he called out. "Naru, honey, cleaning isn't going to stop me from claiming my marital rights. But if you prefer it I can come in there and help you mess the place up."

There was a small crashing sound, followed by the sound of shattering glass and Kakashi got up and quickly made his way to the bathroom door intending to peek inside and see if she was okay when she called out. "I'm fine! And no! I just waxed the floor- You step foot in here for anything other than using the facilities and I'll hurt you!"

Kakashi bit his lower lip and snickered as he pushed the door open a little bit and found Naru laying on her back with her eyes closed, sprawled between the bathtub and the sink. Good grief, what was she doing laying there? He wondered as he cleared his throat, causing her to jerk and open her eyes and look at him wide eyed.

"Kashi!"

"Naru-" Kakashi said her name with a grin as she started to push herself upright. His eyes wandered lower, drinking in her beauty and paused briefly at her shirt which was wet and partially see through from her scrubbing. He could see that she wasn't wearing a bra. Hn... How naughty of her. He thought as he licked his lips and started into the room, his mouth went dry at the sight of her pale pink nipples sticking up through the flimsy fabric of her shirt.

He suddenly felt like putting his mouth to work on her breasts, laving and sucking while he used his hand between her legs.

She must have known what he was thinking since she moved her arms to cover herself before he could say or do anything to stop her. Once her breasts were covered his eyes flickered to her face and he made a huffing sound then asked. "Are you ever going to let me see you naked?"

Naru frowned and thought for a second then replied, "Maybe... When I'm fifty and I no longer care about gravity and such." Kakashi snorted and crossed his arms and leaned his shoulder against the door frame.

"You're pretty nervous about what comes next huh?" He asked curiously. Naru flushed a bit and started to shake her head no but Kakashi gave her a pointed look, warning her not to lie to him, and she slowly nodded her head.

"Do you want to know how this is going to work?"

"I know what sex is Kakashi I don't need anyone to give me 'the talk'. I'm a bit too old for that."

"I know, but at the same time you've suffered some traumatic and...uh...disturbing sides to intimacy. I'd put your mind at ease if I could." Kakashi said as he dropped down to a squat in front of her and propped an elbow on his thigh and settled his chin in his palm and studied her for a second.

It had been three months since the Sauske incident and thought Kakashi had made good on his promise to marry Naru, it had taken a shit load of coaxing and promising from his end due to the fact that she sometimes had these weird flashbacks and got scared and skittish.

It was part of the reason he had wanted to marry her so soon. To put her mind more at ease, yet at the same time he feared it would cause even more problems for them since they were still technically in the courtship stage of their relationship.

"That's sweet Kashi, but I more or less know what will happen." Naru said and she shifted so that she could get her legs under her and started to stand when he reached out and pushed against her leg, knocking her off balance enough to cause her to topple over like a tree. She hit the floor with a dull thud and pushed herself upright and growled at him as he snickered before sombering and asking.

"What exactly do you think I'm going to do to you?"

"Sex. Why do you ask?" Kakashi snorted. That had to be one of the most bizarre and evasive answers he'd ever heard before in his life... He'd have to try using it sometime.

"What exactly do you expect out of our first joining Naru?" He asked a little more specifically.

"Not much. I expect it will hurt a bit and will probably be over with very quickly. You'll flop off of me and start snoring and that will be that." Naru said matter of factly missing the genuinely offended look that Kakashi gave her as she got up for a second time and shot him a warning glare when he shifted. He gave her a devious grin and slowly stood up to his full height as he replayed her reply over and over again in his mind.

Naru didn't expect much of their joining. No sweet words. No finess. Did she think she'd be in bed with a floundering fish? He wondered before moving on. She expected it to hurt, probably because she didn't think he'd be a very considerate lover. And to top it all off she expected it to be over with quickly- Ow, my pride as a man has just taken a huge death blow.

"Okay first of all Naru, I'm not a quick shot. Haven't been since I was a youth with my first woman. Second of all, I have more stamina than you think. I won't be satisfied with just cumming once. And neither will you for that matter. It...will hurt a little bit at first but that will fade easily as long as I give you time to adjust. And I won't be flopping anywhere for any reason until the early morning hours when I'm assured that we've both enjoyed our mating so much that neither of us will be able to walk."
