Kakashi sat on the ground with his bare back against a tree trunk with his wrists bound by chakra enforced wire that was wrapped around the tree three times. His whole body was shaking and his face was a peculiar shade of green.

"That was cruel-" He muttered darkly. More to himself than Naru. She wasn't paying attention to his words anyways. She was too busy running her finger tips along his right bicep like she had been for the past few minutes. She was frowning and kept trying to measure his arm using her hand and finally it got so annoying that he finally snapped. "And what the hell are you doing?"

Naru's eyes flickered to his face for a second and she frowned again before skimming her fingers along the length of his arm then started to run her hand along his chest. He made a huffing sound, not understanding what she was doing. If she had wanted to bind him for their mating all she had had to do was say so.

She didn't have to traumatiz him then tie him up with something that he was finding far, far too difficult to break. Her hand dipped a little bit and he gave an angry animalistic growl and nipped at her arm with his teeth. Naru jerked back and looked at him for a second as he gritted out, "Untie me."

She gave him a funny look and slowly shook her head no and he growled again and banged his head on the tree trunk in an impatient gesture as he drew his legs up to his chest and hissed as he tried pulling his wrists free of the wire, causing it to tighten painfully. Naru reached out and put a hand against his cheek, stilling his movements as she said worriedly, "I can't untie you yet so just bear with me a little bit longer."

"I'd rather mate."

"Dammit wolfy, stop being so stubborn! The entire drive behind your compulsion to mate is in the hopes of impregnanting your mate. I'm infertile right now! It'll be another-" She stopped speaking and slapped a hand over her mouth as she caught the look of interest on his face.

"Another what, Naru? Another week? Another month? Another year? Do you really think that I haven't considered those things a while ago? Do you really think that those things matter-" Kakashi leaned forward as far as the wire bindings would allow him too and said in a breathless tone. "I just want to fill you up with my seed. Make you mine in every way that counts. It doesn't matter if your infertle now. You will be later. Besides, something somewhere might slip."

Naru grunted. Well hell he had a point there. Something inside of her, her organs, her heart, her blood, her ovaries, any of them could slip rendering her fertile due to the mating heat between her and Kakashi.

Which would be bad. Very, very, very, very bad since she wasn't sure her maternal instincts would kick in right away. "Untie me." Kakashi said again, this time his tone was more guttural, the words barely understandable.

Again, Naru shook her head no and then pointed at him. "Can't. I'm checking something and I need to be able to do it without you trying to grab me."

He looked at her, his displeasure showing as he shifted around so that she could see the impressive bulge in his pants. Naru looked down at it for a second, a little bit of a flush working it's way up to her cheeks before she awkwardly looked away and muttered something under her breath before saying.

"Your body is changing Kashi. Your eyes, your skeletal structure, your teeth and muscle. Even your very way of thinking is changing. I need you to dig down as deep as you can and try to think rationally."

He gave her an confused look. Not understanding much of anything she had just said. Sure he knew what the word 'changing' meant but that was about it until Naru made a frustrated sound and quickly slashed her hand through the air in front of his face.

He flinched a little bit, expecting her to strike him but her hand never connected with his skin. Instead it just hung there in front of his face as an icy blue/white chakra begain to swirl in the middle of her palm before shooting up about three inches out of her palm then circling back on itself until it formed a ring of glassy looking chakra that looked similar to a mirror.

Kakashi blinked upon seeing his reflection. He didn't recognize himself. The eyes, the hair, the facial features, even the thick build of his body from the neck down to the tops of his shoulders seemed totally wrong to him.

Naru had hated to do this to him in this manner but Kakashi needed to know that he was in the grips of something that he couldn't fight against. The physical changes in him were becoming more and more noticable.

She'd already noticed that his muscle mass was changing, the length of his arms and legs had already changed by an inch or so. His hair- It had been sort of long and shaggy looking back at the hotel, but it had lengthened considerably since then and now hung a little ways past his shoulder blades.

She had also noticed that there appeared to be a scroll like mark, similar to what an illistration of water waves looked like, wrapped around one of his biceps and then running along one side of his collar bone, ending in a slight upward curve at the hollow of his throat.

It was very faint, but she could see it nevertheless.

He looked up a little bit at her, his confusion clear in his expression and after a moment or so of shocked silence asked in a gravely tone of voice. "What's happening to me?"

"It's your bloodline limit-" He started to shake his head in denial. He didn't have a bloodline limit! He couldn't! His father had never mentioned one before his death. Even the third, fourth, and fifth Hokages had never mentioned anything to him about one. "Kakashi, it's occurred to me that either you don't want to awknowledge the fact that you have one or you were never told. Either way, I have to find out what it is before the changes in you cause you to become so unstable that you die."

Kakashi was silent for a moment as he tried to grasp what she was saying when she knelt down, the chakra mirror in her hand disappearing as she reached out and framed his face in her hands and forced him to look at her from under his bangs. She looked worried. He supposed that she had every right to be since they were mates and all.

But as much as he wanted to comfort her, he had no idea what to do or say.

"I know that your in denial, and upset about everything thus far... But will you let me see into your memories-" He started to shake his head no a panicked look crossing his face. As freaked out as he was about the possibility of being killed by a bloodline trait that never should have been. He was far more worried about her poking about in his head.

What if she saw something that he didn't want her to see? What if by some stupid chance she got hurt? Trapped? Lost forever?

"Kashi, it'll be okay. If I can see what you can do and why you don't know about it, I can stabalize your condition and save you-" Naru gave him a small smile and said in a coaxing tone. "We could have a future. A life together. That's what you want right?"

Kakashi's eyes widened a little bit as he realized what she was doing. She was promising herself to him in exchange for a small amount of knowledge. Was it worth it? Would her life and possibly her sanity be worth a future that may or may not come to be?

He wasn't so sure it was worth it. But before he had the chance to so much as say no, Naru settled herself in his lap and gave him a heated kiss on the lips that sent his blood preassure spiking dangerously and the next moment he found himself standing in the middle of his childhood home. And his father, Sakumo, was laying on the floor a few feet from him, a bloody knife sticking out of his stomach.

Confused Kakashi looked around. Trying to figure out what had just happened as his father drew his attention again with a strange sound.

Kakashi's eyes widened in horror and disbelief as his bleeding father started to drag himself towards him with his bloody hands, the knife tearing his body open further causing more blood to spill out.

His father stopped an inch or so from him and reached out and grabbed his ankle and tipped his head back and looked up at him, his normally dark eyes an eeriy glowing green as Kakashi's ankle started to burn strangely.

Not that Kakashi noticed any. His eyes were fixated on his fathers agonized expression as he choked out, "K-Kashi...s-s-so glad that you m-made i-it h-home. I d-didn't c-cut d-deeply enough... B-Be a g-good boy a-and f-finish me o-off..."
