Yo, sorry for the late update. My hours are still sort of getting away from me.

(******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************)

When Naru had grabbed his wrist and started to lead him through the town, Kakashi had had a little bit of difficulty thinking about anything but the feel of her fingers around his wrist. And when she let her grip slip from his wrist to his hand, he was unable to supress the stirrings of lust he felt pulsing through him as a funny, besotted little grin curved his lips as he followed close behind Naru.

He lost track of time. Lost track of the fact that there were people around him, any of whom could had been an enemy. Nothing mattered to him right then aside from the fact that Naru was holding his hand. Like she were his lover.

As it should be- His mind whispered possessively. She is the one that you've decided on after all. It is only natrual that she would feel some measure of emotion similar to your own and seek physical contact though she isn't the same as you. As your mate; even an unclaimed one, she would still feel uncomfortable without your presence.

Is that really so? Kakashi wondered to himself as Naru pulled him off of the street and into a building. A hotel no doubt. Which didn't help his sanity any when all of the blood in his head instantly rushed south at the thought of being alone with her in a hotel.

Because hotels had beds and his mind was suddenly consumed with images of himself and Naru, both tangled up in satin sheets. Sweating, panting, kissing and- He made a strange sound and lifted a hand up to pinch the bridge of his nose as if he had a headache and felt a little bit of blood trickle out of his left nostril.

Oh dear god, what was wrong with him?

Naru was taking him to her room to talk. Not mate like bunnies during spring. Or at least he was sure that she wasn't. She was a mite difficult to read from the back, although...

He glanced down at the curve of her bottom encased in short cut off shorts that hugged her tight little ass, and then lower. Letting his eyes drift along the length of her long slender legs and grinned again. He was really digging the view. It did nothing for his state of mind, but what the hell. If his heart exploded in his chest before they reached her room then he could at least die happy.

He shook his head and wiped at his nose with the back of one gloved hand and dropped it while again wondered what was wrong with him. He wasn't normally so- so perverted. At least he didn't think he was.

Sure he read porn books in public but that was a great deal different from actually leering at someone while their back was turned. He used the Itcha-Itcha books as a cover to observe people and their behavior, for the most part, when he wasn't reading. But he never reacted like a horny teenager with a girl before.

Well, not since he had grown out of being a horny teenager anyways. Yet that was the exact feeling he had right now. Like he was a horny teenager. Like he just couldn't wait to sink himself inside of her softness and make her cry his name and writhe in ecstacy.

Naru let go of his hand and started to dig around in her shorts pocket for her room key, and Kakashi barely even noticed the fact that she wasn't holding his hand anymore until she managed to unlock and open the door and stepped inside and started to strip off her jacket.

He stood there just outside the door looking around with a slightly dazed look on his face before his mind kicked into overdrive and he began to focus on random things here and there inside of the room.

The bed- there was only one. Something that confused him at first until it occurred to him that Jiriaya didn't sleep in here, though he could smell the man's scent strongly in the room.

There was a table moved out of the way- where Naru ate her meals. Some green, red and cream colored carpeting covering the floor. Some clothes were piled in the floor in one corner of the room, next to where Naru had tossed down her jacket and then there was Naru herself.

Standing just a foot or so from the bed, looking at him over one of her shoulders. A strange expression on her lovely face. "Are you coming in?" She asked in a tentative tone. He looked at her, his mind racing though none of his thoughts were completely coherent as he nodded his head and stepped inside and used one of his feet to kick the door closed behind him.

The door clicked closed and for a split second it felt as if time had stopped.

Naru had her back to him, her entire focus seeming to be on something else as everything hit him all at once. 1) He was alone with Naru in a hotel room. 2) He was very, very aroused and quite possibly going insane. He wouldn't quibble on the details. 3) He felt so hot and tense that he just knew something was going to cause him to snap.

And something did.

He wasn't sure what it was exactly. It might have been one thing or a combination of everything. All he was truly aware of was that one moment he was standing just inside the door way and the next he was across the room, his arms closing around Naru, lifting her up off fo her feet- Startling her if the strangled sounding shriek that escaped her throat was any indication at all.

Then he tossed her down onto the bed and before she could so much as settle or demand to know what he was doing, he was on her. His fingers laced together with her own while pinning her hands to the bed, his mouth covering hers, hot and hard and so damn hungry.

God if he had thought even for a moment that she would let him, he would have stripped her shorts and panties from her delectable little body and eaten her until they were both too sated to even care about what may or may not happen next.

But as it was he was content to ravish the sweetness of her mouth, sucking the air from her lungs, making her toes curl as he tightly gripped her hands in his. Naru made a sound, a low moan and Kakashi lifted his lips from hers automatically sensing that she needed air.

He drew back just enough to look at her, taking in the sight of her swollen and bruised lips, her flushed cheeks, the bewildered/confused look on her face as she licked her lips and let her eyes drift closed for a second as she shuddered. "W-What a-are you d-doing?" She asked in a rough tone that he'd never heard before.

His reaction to the tone of her voice was a rumbling purr that vibrated in the center of his chest as he leaned his head down and skimmed his lips along the corner of her lips, across her cheek to the curve of her jaw and asked in a breathy tone. "What does it feel like I'm doing?"

Naru frowned as he pulled back to look at her again and tried to think. She had no idea what he was doing. He wasn't acting like his normal wolfish self. Or maybe he was. She looked at him, her vermilion eyes studying him. He didn't even really look like his usual self. His mismatched eyes were different. The colors of his eyes were even different. One was an eeriy forest green while his Sharigan was a lighter color of red. His hair seemed an inch or so longer and a little bit shaggier.

Could he be in the thrall of one of his bloodline traits? Naru wondered as he shifted so that his body was resting a little more heavily over hers sending a shiver of awareness licking down her spine as she felt the thick bulge in his pants against her stomach.

Oh god- He felt so overwhelmingly big. So warm. So-So...virile and utterly male that her head felt like it was spinning, her breath was coming out in short ragged bursts, her heart was beating far too fast and she felt overly hot. This isn't like me- Her muddled mind thought as Kakashi kissed her again as the reason why she felt so strangely crashed through her mind suddenly.

This was a mating heat, wasn't it? It was the only thing that she could think of that would explain Kakashi's behavior as well as her own. He wanted to mate with her and she was automatically, instinctively submitting to him.

But she would only react in such a way with her true lifemate. Did this mean that Kakashi was-
