Summary: Kakashi had been listening to an anonymous piano player for years till silence happened. After years of silence, his heart is picked up by the sound of music once more and goes looking with his comrades. Finding an-inner scarred beauty. Naruto has always hidden her real gender till one day she is no longer able to hide. A scarring incident stopping her from living her life, till she met Kakashi.

"Where will you be going?" Narumi asked as she watched Kakashi pull on his pants. It was five in the morning and her body was healed from her previous training. Sitting up on the bed and tugged at Kakashi's arm when he didn't answer and caught his gaze. She could see that he didn't want to leave and knelt on the bed as she reached up to nudge his chin with her nose.

Kakashi inhaled happily and wrapped his arms around her body. Pulling her close and claimed her lips. "Just a regular inn within the Fire Country. Taking out a bandit camp."

"An inn?" Narumi hummed as Kakashi didn't see the devious gleam in her two-toned eyes. She smirked into his neck and asked. "An inn has a hot spring, right?"

"Of course. It's an inn and a resting spot for travellers." Kakashi replied and wondered what she was thinking.

Narumi bit at the cloth covering Kakashi's neck and tore the fabric away. Gaining a startled sound from Kakashi's throat. "Well, you better be safe on your mission, Kakashi…" taking a lap at the flesh before her.

"N-Narumi…?" Kakashi stumbled before he groaned in pleasure as he felt her teeth craze a sensitive spot on his neck. Followed by gentle sucks, light nibbling before she lapped at his skin. Kakashi purred in pleasure and pushed her back down onto the bed. Her mouth never leaving his neck as he ran his hand over her thigh gently and wanted to touch more. Yelping in shock and pain when he felt her sharp teeth break skin and growled at her.

Narumi apologised by licking at her inflicted wound gently and trail small kisses all the way up to his masked lips. "There we go." She murmured into his lips. "Now you won't forget me. I hope you like my gift."

Kakashi pulled back in confusion. "Huh?"

Narumi smirked and flicked Kakashi's wound. Causing him to hiss lightly.

Kakashi looked to her in surprise. His mate had just marked him and claimed him as her own. "You gave me a hickey?!" his voice raising a few octaves. He saw her angelic smile and nipped at her lip playfully as she giggled. "I have to go, but just wait till I get home. I won't let you off this easily, My Lunar. I'll be back to return your mark…tenfold." He teased.

Narumi giggled when his hair ticked her nose. "You're already an hour late for your team meeting. Go before I drag back into this bed to sleep the day away." She warned him.

Kakashi pulled back with a raised brow. "Warning me now, huh?" chuckling when he caught her blush. She was too cute. "Thanks for the gift. I'll be feeling this for a while." Running his finger over his bare neck and traced her mark lightly. It was sensitive. "I need to change my mask now that you've ripped this one." He mocked glared at her.

Narumi looked to her work happily. Reaching up and began lapping at the blemish some more. Eliciting a pleasurable whimper from Kakashi.

Kakashi had enough of her teasing and pulled her head up to claim her lips before he had to leave for five days and kissed her deeply enough to leave her remembering him. He growled into her lips and nipped at her smooth cheek. "Take care of my place, My Lunar and when I get back, I'll make us dinner and teach you more of my instrument." He promised.

Narumi hummed as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Pulling him down for another searing kiss to leave her mark on her man. "I like the sound of that, but be warned, Kakashi, if you come home smelling like another woman I have deemed a threat, I will punish you like how you have punished me with your damn bite."

"Hmm I promise. I must go before I stay here forever." Kakashi whispered regretfully and slipped his apartment key into her hand before grabbing his shirt. Fleeing her bedroom before his temptations overtook him. Though he was mighty pleased with himself when his mate had marked him…willingly. Good. His mate was just possessive as him, but she knew how to hide it better. Kakashi was grinning like a madman. He couldn't wait for his mission to end so he could ravish his mate in all his love and affections. I'll have to speak to Kira-san and Natsu-san soon about dating their goddaughter. Kakashi mused as he entered his apartment got ready to meet his team. He was an hour late already.

Naruto: 7am

Naruto stepped out of the shower with a towel around her frame and looked to the clothes on her bed that Tsunade had chosen. Putting on her underwear before picking up the garments, Naruto held up an ankle-length flowing skirt that was off-white in colour and had flowers sewn down the bottom at the hem paired off with a deep tree green cardigan with a moderate V-line. Naruto shrugged her shoulders and slipped the items on. Checking her-self out in the mirror and resisted the urge to shudder. "I look like a clan's matriarch." She was dressed respectfully and understood why Tsunade chose this outfit for her tea with Danzo at noon. Though Naruto frowned at not being satisfied with her appearance to meet Danzo. Grabbing her brush, Naruto quickly comb the knots out of her hair and twirled her hair till it was piled into a neat bun with her bangs falling and framing her face. Naruto nodded. Now she looked presentable enough for the elder without being indirectly criticized.

Naruto left her room and glided down the stair and made a cup of coffee and a cup of tea before placing them on a tray. Bringing the cups with her towards Jiraiya's study and knocked before entering. Her eyes soften as she saw him snoring while being surrounded by old papers and ink. Placing his cup of coffee on his desk before she reeved a hand back and…

SMACK!

"AYE~YA!" Jiraiya hollered in pain and immediately glared at his smug gaki as he held his burning cheek.

"I made coffee." Naruto pointed to his cup and began cleaning up his study.

Jiraiya grumbled as he rubbed his cheek. Taking a sip of his coffee in delight before he noticed Naruto's attire. "What's with the matriarch-getup?" he rose a brow in question.

Naruto tossed all of Jiraiya ruined papers in the bin as she replied. "Don't ask me. Baa-chan left this on my bed this morning. It's for my tea at noon with Danzo and all that mambo jumbo. Shikaku-sensei even gave me a mask to play with for Danzo. How does this sound?" Naruto sat before Jiraiya and took a sip of her tea before she began. "A reserved, polite and calm woman, but has the eyes of a predator that won't do anything."

Jiraiya hummed in thought before he waved his hand towards her. "Give me a look, Brat." He smirked and whistled at her sudden change in posture and the look in her eyes. "Well I'll be damned. A woman that is literally all bark and no bite unless heavily provoked. Sinister."

Naruto lost the mask and chuckle. "Well that's what I'm going for. Shikaku-sensei said it was best to stick close to my original personality, but add in a few features that easily separates me from my mask. So basically, what I'm going for is when my switched is turned on…" Jiraiya shuddered at that. "But a more refined and collected version. So yes, in a sense, its sinister." Naruto sipped on her tea happily at her thoughts as Jiraiya shuddered again.

"Well keep that side of you away from this house and these lands." Jiraiya ruled out with Naruto just nodding. "For now, read over this Fūinjutsu book and get cracking with your calligraphy."

Naruto just nodded as she trotted over to her desk to study.

Jiraiya could only shake his head at her odd tenancies. He only hoped Kakashi would treat his princess right. Not that he was a fool to believe that Naruto slept alone last night. Actually, Naruto and Kakashi's love life sounds like a nice plot for my next book. Jiraiya inwardly cackled perversely, though it seemed Naruto sensed it somehow as she tossed a paperweight as his head that he easily caught and threw back at her.

Kakashi:

Kakashi's nose was buried deep within his Icha-Icha and ignored his team to some extent, yet kept his senses sharp for enemies as his team walked towards the Inn.

Yamato had sighed once again at his team leader. Kakashi had shown up two hours late to their meeting point had set out without a glance at them or an apology. Cursing under his breath, Yamato wondered if Kakashi would change if he hiked his skirt up and settle down. Perhaps then, his wife would snap Kakashi into action and into a better man and shinobi. His habits were really getting on Yamato's nerves. Much more than Naruto's and now Yamato was actually missing that blond haired boy and wished Jiraiya-sama hadn't taken the boy away to rediscover himself so soon. Yamato's eyes flickered over to the pale boy named Sai. He was an odd one, but had talent in his special ninjutsu. He glanced to Sakura and bit back his need to sigh once again and not have the attention on him. Sakura was indeed a fantastic medic, but Yamato really wanted to grab a brick and hit Sakura over the head with it. It was obvious to everyone and anyone that the pink-haired medic was interested in Kakashi and Kakashi being the aloof masked bastard he was didn't notice. It was so damn obvious by the way Sakura was trying to hitch up a conversation with the reading Nin by using her arms to push her breasts together and coo up at him. Yamato actually did sigh. Sakura was one of the many females in Konoha trying to woo the last Hatake, but she was indeed the most successful in getting close with Kakashi. Nobody dared to get in her way either.

Yamato prayed to whatever god that was out there to protect the woman Kakashi would one day chose, cause in all honestly, Sakura was too needy, pushy and desperate for Kakashi to ever consider a life partner. Someone seriously needed to beat some sense into that girl…

Naruto sneezed as her spine shivered at the same time.

"Are you okay, brat? Better not have caught a cold." Jiraiya teased and dodged the ink pen tossed his way like a kunai.

Sai had noticed the odd interaction of Sakura with their team leader. It confused him a lot. One second, Sakura was yelling at him and hitting his head before, what he deemed as, fawning over the Hatake. Sai did have to admit, despite wearing a mask and covering almost all of his body, Kakashi was indeed a good-looking man with a prominent back ground and excellent track record. It made sense to Sai why Sakura would pursue such a successful man, but Sai wondered if Sakura was so delusional as to forget the Hatake history.

The Hatake men were known as feral warriors, loyal to their leader and were immensely dangerous when their intended mate or children were harmed. Only women strong enough to tame a Hatake's heart would be seeked out by the Hatake men and only then would a Hatake look at another female as a woman and not just a bed partner or an easy rut. He would litter his mate with love like no other and do whatever was possible to assure her happiness and safety. Same applied to their children.

Although Sai was still getting used to emotions, he knew right away that Sakura had no chance in winning Kakashi Hatake's heart. He just prayed to whoever held Kakashi's heart that Sakura didn't tear into the poor woman.

Naruto sneezed again and cursed. "I can't be sick."

"That's what you get for cuddling with a stray dog." Jiraiya teased and chuckled when Naruto began hurling paper at him like shuriken.

"Kaka-sensei, are you listening to me?" Sakura whined cutely as she latched onto Kakashi's free arm. Never feeling him stiffen in discomfort. "I was trying to tell you about a new recipe I was learning. You should try it sometime soon."

"Maah…" Kakashi only muttered as he thumbed another page. "To be honest, Sakura…" Kakashi started and didn't notice the hopeful glitter in her emerald orbs.

Yamato sighed as he knew what was coming and for some odd reason, so did Sai as he moved away from Sakura.

Kakashi's eye grazed over the words before him as he said. "Your cooking is too salty and not at all that tasty. I suggest you take cooking lessons from the Ackimichi clan before you give somebody else your cooking Sakura." Kakashi preferred Narumi's cooking and had to brush his teeth several times once he got home from that picnic to remove all that saltiness. "You should ask them to teach you in using spices and a few herbs. Too much sodium is bad for the body after all."

Sakura tripped over her feet, but caught herself before she feel. Releasing Kakashi's arm in the process. My cooking is bad?! Sakura didn't let that keep her down for long as she chased after Kakashi again and walked close to him. Invading his personal space on purpose in hopes he would catch whiff of her new perfume she had picked up. It suited her look perfectly. Cherry delight. "Then when my cooking has gotten better, we can go out for another picnic, kaka-sensei."

Kakashi flicked a page over. "I'm a busy man, Sakura. You should focus on your training to bring Sasuke back home once Naruto returns from his second trip with Jiraiya-sama."

Sakura pouted and continued to whine to Kakashi as Yamato swore to buy some pain killers for his migraine as Sai just focused on abstract drawing.

Naruto: Noon

With Naruto's insistence, she had managed to talk Jiraiya into henging into Kira and drop her off to the Shimura residence. Even though he was a clone, it was still a win in Naruto's books as the real Jiraiya was training with her clones as a few were with Shikaku-sensei. Naruto gripped onto Kira's arm tightly as the compound walls came into view and looked up to him nervously. Her act was on.

Kira was patted her arm soothingly. "Don't worry, My Precious Goddaughter. Danzo-sama is an honourable man. You will be fine." His acting was perfection as he stopped at the entrance where Danzo's guards were waiting for her. Kira leaned down and placed an affection kiss on Naruto's cheek and patted her shoulder. "I'll be waiting for you at home to go over more of your training in etiquettes. Remember to be respectful and polite to Danzo-sama and treat him accordingly."

"Hai, Kyōfu-sama." Narumi bowed respectfully in departure and entered the compound behind one of the masked ANBU. Standing three paces behind the man as a sign of respect and submission as she followed him into the large traditional house, taking off her small heels and towards the tea room she first talked to Danzo in. Narumi bowed to the guard as he slid open the door and entered. She bowed to the master of the house as he sat before the tea set. "Danzo-sama. It's a pleasure seeing you again. My guardian extends his thanks for inviting me to tea." Not entering the room till she gain permission.

Danzo was impressed by Narumi's respect. A young woman around her age wouldn't care for such old formalities unless they were from the Main Branch of the Hyuga clan. "Please, Narumi-san, come in and take a seat. The tea is set for you."

Narumi stood up straight and entered the room. Sitting opposite Danzo and bowed once more before starting the tea. "I shall make the tea now." She announced. Well aware of Danzo eye on her every movement. It was slightly annoying and wondered what Danzo found intriguing about her. A part from the fact that she was pretty and her offender deserved death instead of life imprisonment.

"Was it you, Narumi-san, that set fire to that man's casket and caused a muck for the Haruno Family?" Danzo suddenly question and never saw the girl falter as she made the tea. She was truly perfect and excellent in every aspect.

Narumi didn't lie and confessed. "Yes, that was I. I couldn't stand the thought of my attacker being allowed to die surrounded by a loving family while I live with his attempt. I got even by ruining his reputation further and diminishing his family by leaking the police reports of his charges." She glanced up to Danzo as if she were challenging him. "Are you going to hand me in?"

Danzo's eye narrowed at being challenged. It didn't make him mad, but sought after this girl more. She was truly perfection. "I don't see why I should burden myself with such a menial task. You saw fit your own version of punishment and I am not here to stop or cage you from doing so."

"Even though you are an Honourable Elder, Danzo-sama?" Narumi questioned as she returned her attention to pouring the tea powder into the warmed tea pot.

Danzo was once again entranced by Narumi's skills at making tea. How could one be so elegant and mesmerising whilst making tea? "I am no longer honourable, Narumi-san. An older member of society such as my-self has lost that honour of having such a title."

Narumi giggled lightly. "Don't be foolish, Danzo-sama. One is not bound to age. Many in this village see you as honourable for your services to our Lady, Konohagakure no Sato. Even if I do not get out much, I do know such things, Danzo-sama."

Danzo had just nodded at her form of cheering him up and raising his dark pride. She sure had a way with words. Perhaps she was a poet in her past life.

They stayed silent for the remainder of the Tea Ceremony with Danzo waiting till Narumi had poured two cups and served him first. Taking the cup to his lips and took an attentive sip. There it was again. The taste of the tea was pure ecstasy and Danzo knew exactly what he wanted as his eye travelled to his tea companion before him. He waited patiently as she took a sip of her own tea before he decided to question the mysterious girl before him. Although he had sent his best team of ROOT ANBU to watch over and guard the blonde goddess, she was hard to find and nobody that was a friend of the Yuki family were allowed on the property. His agents couldn't gather any information on her. It was as if she were a phantom guarded heavily by her shinobi family. Danzo doubted this girl was a shinobi. She was too refined, too delicate, too beautiful and too perfect to have such an occupation. She was all bark and no bite unless her pride was heavily damage. Hence, the fire at the Haruno funeral. Oh yes, Danzo liked this woman indeed.

Narumi took a sip of her tea and felt Danzo's stare. Placing her tea down gently without a sound and asked. "Is there something you wish to ask me, Danzo-sama?"

Danzo nodded his head once. "Indeed there is, but only if you feel comfortable in my presence." Taking another sip of her delicious tea.

Narumi sensed something bad approaching but nodded for Danzo to ask her anyways.

Danzo placed his tea down and held out his hand for the girl to take.

Narumi looked to his hand sceptically before deeming taking his hand wasn't a threat and placed her small one into his elderly hand. They were calloused of his years as a shinobi and leathery from his old age. She looked him in the eye nervously for what he wanted to ask her. Narumi even gulped mentally as she called hear the faint snarls of her Bijū telling her to allow it to take over and kill everybody on the property. Narumi just pressed the Bijū away.

Danzo held Narumi's hand in the two of his and asked smoothly. "Narumi-san, I have seen that you bare no ring on your finger and see no sign of you indulging in intercourse…" He noted how her brows came together in confusions and filed away her habits for a later date. "Narumi-san, allow me the honour of asking for your hand in courtship?"

Narumi's breathe hitched. 'Oh shit.'

Kakashi: Night time

Kakashi was relaxing in the hot springs with a small towel over his face. Having recently returned from taking down one of the many bandit camps in the area. Kakashi groaned in satisfaction as the hot water relaxed his aching muscles with the steam opening up his pores. "Maah this is much better." Kakashi muttered from behind his towelled faced as Yamato joined him in the hot springs.

Yamato's eyes widen like saucers as he easily spotted something alien on Kakashi…more specifically, Kakashi's neck. "S-Sempai…" Yamato stuttered and captured Kakashi's lone gaze. Shakily raising a hand, Yamato pointed to Kakashi's neck. "What is that?"

Kakashi raised a brow with a hum. Reaching a hand up to his neck and hissed under his breathe. "Maah that's right. I thought you would know what this was, Yamato. You're no longer a little boy now, are you?" Kakashi teased his charge. He almost forgot that Narumi had marked him quite brutally.

Yamato was blushing by now and was about to press further till the door slid open. Yamato's jaw dropped scandalously as Kakashi's sole eye widen in shock. "S-Sakura!" Yamato released a strangled scream at seeing the pinkette in a dangerously short towel that was wrapped tightly around her slim body.

Sakura had immediately ignored Yamato as soon as her eyes had landed on Kakashi's god-worthy body and licked at her lips excited. "Kaka-sensei, need me to wash your back?" she purred seductively.

Kakashi went ridged and felt extremely uncomfortable. "That is not wise Sakura. Go and put on some clothes this instant. Your indecency is embarrassing to the team." He voiced.

Sakura ignored Kakashi's order and climbed into the hot springs. Kakashi was such a handsome man. Too handsome to leave unmarked and unclaimed. Sakura giggled. "Don't be shy, kaka-sensei. I'll take good care of you." rubbing her hand over his tones chest.

Kakashi threw Yamato a pleading look, but the man only gave him a look of pity before running for his life. 'Great.' Kakashi bitterly thought. Quickly catching Sakura's wrists when her hands trailed lower. "That's enough, Sakura. I am not interested in your games. Leave. Now." He commanded and was slowly losing his patience.

Sakura didn't care for his tone and tried to land a kiss on his chest when her eyes caught sight of a blemish against his pale skin. Her eyes widening in shock and looked to Kakashi. She pulled back and touched his neck. "Kaka-sensei, is this a love-bite?"

Kakashi inwardly sighed in relief that Sakura had snapped out of whatever trance she was in. he couldn't afford to incapacitate the girl during the remainder of the mission. He replied. "Yes, is there something wrong with having a love-bite, Sakura?"

Sakura looked up to Kakashi and said clearly. "Silly, Kaka-sensei. If you ever and I mean, ever need to relieve your sexual tension, then you should just come to me. I'd be more than willing to let you have my body." Purring slightly into his ear. "You don't need to sleep with such strangers.

Kakashi pushed Sakura away with a sharp sigh. "Sakura, whom I lain with is none of your concern. My private life is my private life and completely out of the question when we are on a mission. Who I choose to sleep with is also none of your concern, though I thank you for the offer, I must decline. I am satisfied with what I have. Excuse me." pushing past Sakura and was prepared to leave till she called over to him.

"Who did you sleep with, kaka-sensei?" Sakura asked and for some reason a certain blonde haired, two-toned eye woman flashed before her eyes and felt her anger bubble greatly. Didn't that weak child know her place? Obviously she didn't if that slut killed her uncle, but Sakura had no proof if the blonde was still seeing Kakashi. Most probably not considering the girl was a weeping mess when Sakura had handed out her punishment. Sakura still had a high change and swore kill the blonde once she returned to Konoha for killing her uncle. Even if there was no evidence, Sakura would make it look like a natural death or an accident. Nobody fucked with Sakura Haruno. She wasn't going to lose the great Hatake to any bitch. Even if the bitch was some cheap whore in the red light district that had given Kakashi a hickey.

"That's none of your business." Kakashi muttered and left the hot springs. His night was just ruined and deeply wished the next four days would be over soon so he could see his woman and hold her in his arms once more.

Naruto: home

Naruto had locked herself in her room as soon as she left Danzo's compound and didn't come out for dinner or responded to Jiraiya and Tsunade's threats for her to come out and eat. She was trying to calm down her ever rising anxiety and panic attack. "Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit. What am I going to do? This is crazy. I'm done for…oh shit…" Naruto all but muttered into her pillow and soon found herself in the sewers in her mind before the Kyūbi. She looked up to her Bijū with fear in her eyes. Not for the Bijū, but her situation.

The Kyūbi just sighed and wrapped its host in his tails and pulled her into its cage. Keeping her safe against its fur and licked her cheek gently. "Sleep. I will think of something, My Child." Whispering sweet words to its sobbing kit. Having grown close to the girl ever since she was taken captive and had taken over her body to endure the torture and rape instead of its host whenever Kyūbi was able to take over her body in her weaken state. This wasn't that much due to her strong will, but none the less, Naruto was still a girl and a human at that. No child should be subjected to such cruelty. Kyūbi just wished for it kit's soon-to-be mate to return without harm. Though Kyūbi wouldn't tell Naruto that it had chosen the Hatake boy to be her other half. Not yet.
