Naruto and Jiraiya walked back into the camp grounds with Kakashi immediately standing up with worry in his eye as he looked to his mate. Naruto just smiled at Kakashi and saw his hesitancy to glomp her. Naruto just opened her arms and soon had an armful of a worried Hatake. The blonde Jinchuriki chuckled and stroked his mane. "I'm fine, Kakashi. Just remembered a few things to speak to Ero-Sennin about."

"Anything I need to know." Kakashi pulled back and patted his mate down frantically to check for any signs of damage. He sighed in relief when he found none. Just his love bites that were slowly fading. He'd have to fix that later tonight.

"Not that I have to mention. Now, let's have dinner." Naruto distracted Kakashi with her cooking as she got set on making their dinner for the night. Naruto made sure to cook extra portions for Jiraiya and the Uchiha brothers. They always ate a lot when it came to her food. Naruto had even brushed off Sakura's attempt to help with dinner and inwardly thanked Yamato for taking Sakura away after his 'time' with Sai. The blonde sighed lightly as she stirred the rabbits stew and hummed a light tune as her spare hand was rubbing the swell of her belly.

Sasuke heard Naruto's humming and stopped bickering with Jiraiya as he gazed to his best friend. Noting the calm look around her but the edge in her eyes. He coughed lightly and gained her eyes. Raising a brow for the blonde to shake her head and return to her cooking. Sasuke frowned. Naruto hadn't associated herself with music ever since she got pregnant and it worried Sasuke that she started up now. "Seems the Dobe is up to something, but what exactly." The Uchiha mused but knew better than to interrogate the blonde. She'd speak when she wanted to.

Kakashi watched Naruto with a sharp eye. When she suddenly left him during their kiss with Jiraiya-sama, a sense of panic that she was going to disappear had his heart gripping. "Is there something on my face, Kakashi?" Kakashi snapped his head to meet his mate's two-toned eyes and blushed in embarrassment. Crawling behind her and rested his head on her shoulder.

"No, My Lunar. I'm just being paranoid." He replied honestly and distracted his mate by asking a question. "Do you know what gender our baby will be?" he asked sweetly as he pecked her shoulder through his mask.

Naruto didn't glance to Kakashi as she stiffened. Her voice went low and muttered. "I'll tell you later."

Kakashi was confused by Naruto's sudden change and released her. "Is there something wrong with our child, Naruto?" he asked with a steely edge.

Naruto glanced over to Kakashi and handed him the first plate of stew. Her eyes guarded and replied once again. "I'll tell you later, Kakashi. In private." Quickly returning to her work and got everybody a plate before serving herself and went to sit beside Itachi and talking idly with him as Kakashi was still chewing on what Naruto needed to tell him about their child.

Kakashi couldn't enjoy Naruto's cooking thoroughly for two reasons. One: Naruto was ignoring him and two: Sakura kept flirting with him even when he glared at her with killing intent. Naruto wouldn't even glance his way when Sakura would rub up against him and that made Kakashi momentarily depressed. Though the second he was finished with his food, he heard Sakura yelp and looked up in shock when Naruto was standing there. Having tossed the pinkette away without a second look and was now giving him a harden look. Kakashi whimpered and tried to explain. "I t-tried to get h-her off. I s-swear, My Lunar."

Naruto lost her hard look which turned to confusion. "What are you talking about, Kakashi? Never mind." She shut the copy-nin up and grabbing his upper-arm and dragged him towards their tent. Unzipping the door and tossed Kakashi inside before glaring at everybody in the camp. Namely Sakura. "Keep out." She warned them all before entering the tent and zipping it up. Quickly going over some handseals to give her and her mate some privacy. She looked up and smirked in amusement when she saw Kakashi already in his boxer briefs with his mask long gone. "Eager I see."

Kakashi just growled at him mate and dragged her onto his lap and nipped at her neck. Gaining a shocked yelp from his blonde mate and howled quietly. "What is wrong with our baby, Naruto?"

Naruto rubbed her neck and glared at Kakashi, but when she saw his dominating stare, she whimpered down and looked away. "Nothing's wrong, Kakashi, it's just…I haven't told anybody the full news. Not even Jiraiya. I wanted to tell you first since you weren't around for the other firsts during the pregnancy."

Kakashi smiled lightly, but her words didn't make him back down as he titled Naruto's chin so she would look him in the eyes and ordered in a husky tone. "Tell me, Naruto or no specials tonight and the following nights till we reach Konoha." He threatened wholeheartedly, even though it was a punishment for him too, but he needed to know.

Naruto whimpered and clung onto Kakashi's shoulders. He would refuse her sex?! The damn bastard sure knew how to play his cards. Naruto relented. "The baby…it's not baby, but babies." She confessed and held up two fingers with a soft smile when she saw Kakashi's shocked face. "Two boys, perfectly healthy." Naruto shuffled nervously in Kakashi's lap when he didn't say anything and continued as she tucked a piece of hair behind her ears. "I was t-thinking…that we should call the boys…well, after our fathers, y'know. Sakumo and Minato Namikaze-Hatake. In the memory of our heroes. I mean…we don't have to name them after our fathers, it was just a suggestion I had in mind and the boy names just popped into my head as soon as the doctor told me I was carrying two boys and that…"

Kakashi silenced his nervous mate with a searing kiss. Pulling back with a full toothed grin that showed off his dimples before pecking Naruto's lips once more. "Twin boys…named after our fathers…I love it, My Lunar. I love it." he whispered tenderly. He wasn't just going to be a father, but a father of two male pups that he would train in his legacy and to protect the family. Kakashi was more than overjoyed. "I can't wait to meet them, Naruto. Three more months and then we get to meet them. Sakumo and Minato Namikaze-Hatake. I like the sound of that." his grin turned into a leer. "And you better stop wriggling on my lap, Love, or who knows what this big bad wolf will do."

Naruto smirked and quickly bit Kakashi's lower lip. Pulling back and held his face strongly so he couldn't advance in his punishment. "Hold up. I have a few questions."

Kakashi pouted yet nodded anyway. Lightly kissing both her palms. "Ask away, My Lunar."

Naruto smiled at his affectionate nature. It would definitely take her a while for her to get used to his gentle touches. "First, when do our boys have to wear their masks?"

Kakashi continued to place light kisses up his mate's arm as he replied. "Preferably when they are two, but I would rather have them wear their masks when they are around three. And before you ask, females in the Hatake clan do not wear masks, they simmer their personality to outsiders and when they find their mate, they expose their true nature to them. We do not wear our masks in the presence of family. So when we are alone in our own home, I won't wear mine…though you might have to teach our daughters how to deal with their masks."

The blonde nodded. "Though do promise me to wear your mask to outsiders, Kakashi. I don't want other woman gazing at the face of my Man." Naruto requested and brushed off Kakashi's hint that he wanted more children. She would give them to him, but not so fast. She'd like a break from carrying his children. After all, their two unborn sons sure did kick a lot.

Kakashi purred in delight. His mate was just as possessive as him. He nodded happily. "Of course, My Lunar. On the request that you expose my mate mark on you as much as possible."

Naruto grumbled. "Looks like I'll need to invest in some new shirts." Giggling slightly when Kakashi began nibbling at her collarbone. "Kashi, I'm not done. I have more questions. Stop distracting me."

"I'm not distracting you, Naruto. You're still coherent." Kakashi purred into her tanned skin and licked his mate mark that made her gasp in surprise and cling onto his shoulders. Kakashi smirked at her innocent reaction. He forgot that he was her 'official' first man. First real kiss, first courtship, first time making love, first lover in her life. He was Naruto's firsts in almost everything in a relationship. First spouse, first children together, first everything. Kakashi, never, ever counted the time Naruto got captured as a first, as that was filled with ill-intent. Kakashi loved Naruto with his very soul and he knew she did too…if she wasn't so stubborn half the time. Heck! He went through momentary heart-break and sweet honest words to win her back. Kakashi swore he'd never lose his fiery mate to anybody or anything. Even Sakura. He wouldn't lose Naruto and their children to anyone. They were his world now…his everything…not that Naruto would know…yet.

Naruto shivered in Kakashi's embrace. She felt safe, warm and wanted in his presence and that filled that dark void she always had in herself from such a young and vulnerable age. He filled the void that the Sandaime Hokage left behind, but, even then the former-Hokage couldn't fill her completely. Kakashi did and Naruto swore she'd do everything in her powers to keep Kakashi and their sons and future children safe. Naruto swore on this. "W-what would go on i-if I d-don't move in w-with you right n-now?"

"Oh, you'll move in with me. It isn't really a matter of choice." Kakashi growled into her neck and nipped about. "If you move back in with Jiraiya, he wouldn't like all the noise we'll make, with the Uchiha I would rather kill them before allowing them to live under the same roof as you." he nipped behind her ear and made her moan quietly. Kakashi smirked. Naruto was a quiet lover. She never screamed or made loud noises when they got intimate and Kakashi found this rather…ravishing. "I'm sure Iruka has a few choice words, but I can be very persistent in what I want and what I want My Lunar is for my future-wife to live with me under the same roof, where I can take care of you like a Hatake mate should. I've broken so many codes and rules for you, Naruto, but this is one I will not bend around." He licked the shell of her ear and breathed hotly. "What do you say, My Lunar? Will you move in with me?"

Naruto moaned and pushed Kakashi down onto their bedspread with a dark look in her eyes. "If your performance is not to my standard tonight, Kakashi Hatake, I assure you, I will not be moving in with you. You only have tonight to make up for those 7 months of separations and those 7 months without your touch. Make me yours again, Kakashi."

Kakashi growled when Naruto's light fingers grazed over his toned chest and down to his erect penis. "Naruto…"

"Sshh. I said that I was going to show you a preview of what is to come once I am no longer pregnant, Kakashi." Naruto purred to her panting mate. Her eyes dragged down to his naked erection and licked her lips. She would make her mate whither beneath her.

Early hours of the morning:

Naruto ran her fingers through Kakashi's thick mane with a soft smile whilst tucking a note into his Hitai-ate about why she left. She though it better than always having to run off without a full explanation that will keep Kakashi in check. "Never, would I have thought that you of all people I have come to love and cherish. I'm still unsure about getting married, but seeing as I'll be a Hatake at the end and will soon have to adopt your clan's traditions, I guess for you, I'd like to be your wife as soon as Danzo no longer breaths the same air as us, Kakashi." the blonde leaned down and pecked Kakashi's unmasked lips. "I'll see you in Konoha, Saiai." Moving back but jolted in shock when a hand lashed out and snatched onto her wrist. Naruto panicked but saw that Kakashi was still asleep. "Kakashi…?" she called to her mate and got no response. His grip was like a vice on her wrist as if he knew unconsciously that she was going to leave after hours of love-making…again.

Naruto chewed on her bottom lip and tried her best to get Kakashi's fingers uncurled and huffed in frustration. "Kakashi-sweetheart, I need you to let go." She lightly begged and noted how Kakashi's grip lessened and smiled lightly. Naruto was getting somewhere. "You did excellent this night, Kakashi and as promised, I'll move in with you." she almost laughed as his grip slackened. Just one more and she was home free. No doubt, she had a feeling Kakashi would know about this when he woke up and would be more eager to hunt her down, take her home and place a ring on her finger more than ever. That thought excited Naruto. Being hunted down and being claimed. Must be cause of the Kyūbi be ing a fox and it was in his nature and thus in hers too. "I'll even become your wife…though I'd rather be married before our boys come along…" Naruto mentally cheered when Kakashi's hand fell from her wrist and didn't waste time grabbing her bag and placing on her sandals. Looking back at Kakashi's naked form and shook her head in amusement. Even with his battle scars, Kakashi was the most handsome.

Naruto quietly slipped out of the tent and headed towards the clearing where Jiraiya was waiting for her impatiently. "You're late, Brat."

Naruto rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly. "Sorry about that, Ero-Sennin. Kakashi caught me off guard. It appears that he knows when I'm leaving unconsciously and took me a while to get out of his grip."

Jiraiya only nodded. "That is expected of a Hatake, Naruto. They love waking up with their mates by their side."

Naruto blushed. "At least this explains why Kakashi would always be in a bad mood whenever I woke up first and left to make breakfast. Oh well, let's head back home, Ero-Sennin and get this shit down the drain."

"You got it, Kid." Jiraiya smirked and within the blink of an eye, both Master and Student disappeared. Jiraiya could only shake his head when Kakashi would awake to a bed with no mate. The boy had a lot on his plate that's for sure.

Kakashi:

Kakashi petted the bedroll beside him with his hand hitting cold sheets and immediately sprang up with sharp eyes. Growling dangerously as he eyed the empty space beside him and punched the ground. "Oh Naruto. What a grave mistake you have made." He hissed lowly. "I should've known better than to ignore my instincts that you were going to disappear again. Not anymore, My Lunar. Once I have hunted you down and our pups are safely delivered, punishment is in order." Kakashi promised himself and quickly got changed. Reaching for his Hitai-ate when he noticed a piece of paper tucked between the metal and the cloth. It had his mate's scent on it and didn't hesitate to rip it from its bed.

My Dearest Kakashi,

I know you must be irritated by now seeing as I have run off again…

Kakashi snorted and rolled his eyes at his mate's wording. Damn right he was irritated and was planning on breaking his love out of such a nasty habit.

…and I have no doubt that you will hunt me down. I look forward to this.

Though this time, I have decided to tell you why I have gone from your bed without notice.

I have left with Ero-Sennin to speak to Danzo alone. I have to. For the sake of our future and my sanity, I have to seek Danzo alone.

Please don't be mad at me, Kakashi, My Mate.

To make up for my bad behaviour, I agree to move in with you…once you've had your talks and threats from my family.

Till you've hunt me down,

Forever your mate, your Lunar, Naruto.

Kakashi gasped as his thirst to hunt down Naruto intensified. His mate was to live with him…under the same roof. Kakashi purred at the idea and looked to the end of the note. It seemed Naruto added something extra with his lust for his mate in his arms taking over as his control was barely intact.

I've thought over this and have decided that I'd love to marry you before our sons come into our world. The ceremony doesn't have to be big. We can have a real ceremony later on.

PS: I love you, My Pervy-Wolf

Kakashi couldn't hold it back and howled loudly. Waking and startling the rest of the campers and scrambled out of his tent. Facing an on-guard Yamato holding a half-naked Sai around the waist with one irate Uchiha as the other was amused. Sakura barely tumbling out of her tent with a mess nest of a hair. Kakashi barked an order at all of them. "We leave in 10. No more, no less. Go!"

Everybody moved at Kakashi's tone, expect Itachi. Instead he raised a brow and voiced calmly to the pacing wolf. "I assume the howling and growling is about a certain golden fox and perverted toad."

Kakashi stopped in his pacing and contemplated whether or not to yell at Itachi or answer him calmly. He chose the latter option. Kakashi needed to be in the Uchiha's good graces anyways for Naruto's sake. He swallowed his rising growl and voiced in a low tone. "Hai. Lunar has gone ahead with Jiraiya-sama during the night. Judging by the fading scent in my tent, she and Jiraiya-sama have a solid six hours head start towards Konoha…" he tightened his fists. Kakashi really wanted to be by Naruto's side once she faced Danzo. The man that drove his mate out of Konoha in the first place. The man that was the main reason why she had to be kept hidden under the guise of a boy…not that Kakashi minded. He would've fallen for either version of his beloved.

Itachi eyed the crumpled paper in Kakashi's hand and voiced. "What did she say?"

"Well…" Kakashi's anger and lust to hunt her down simmered a bit as he boasted as calmly as he could. "My fiancé has agreed to move into the Hatake estate with me after my talk with you, Sasuke, Iruka and Jiraiya-sama when we arrive back in Konoha as well has agreed to marry me. Though I do plan to take Naruto out on a romantic day and propose to her properly. It is only right."

Itachi smirked. "Keep treating her like a Queen and there will be no riff between us, Kakashi-sempai." He turned his back on his future brother-in-law and warned him. "I suggest putting your fan club in order once you get back to Konoha, Kakashi-sempai. They will be rather hostile towards your fiancé."

Kakashi just responded with a protective growl. "They wouldn't dare to harm, Naruto. We have mated and only Naruto can carry my pups as well as hold my heart and soul. If they harm Naruto, they harm our pups and in return harm me. I won't let fools harm the chance of Naruto and I having a family…a family we both craved in our youth…" he whispered the last part tenderly.

Itachi didn't say anything as he understood what Kakashi meant. He and Sasuke may be family in all but blood, but Itachi knew that Naruto was still missing that little something to fill up that void in the family. That being Kakashi and their…pups…as in plural? "Pups?" Itachi muttered and faced Kakashi with shock on his usual stoic features. "As in, more than one."

Kakashi rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. "Whoops. Forgot that Naruto didn't tell you. She wanted me to be the first to know that she is carrying twin boys and before you ask, we have already decided on the names and are satisfied."

Itachi smirked and released a small chuckled. "At least that explains why her belly is bigger than average. Congratulations to you, Naruto and your two sons." He nodded before heading over to his station to clean up.

Kakashi packed up his tent in a flash and saw that everybody was ready to head out, though looking haggard. Especially Yamato, Sai and Sakura for some reason. He shivered coldly when she gazed at him with lustful eyes. Kakashi really didn't want to know what Sakura was doing in her tent last night that gave her such a ruffled appearance. "Let's head out. Konoha is on average 8 hours away from our position. We will be heading at top speed, non-stop. We should reach Konoha in less than 5 hours."

Naruto and Jiraiya:

Naruto rubbed her grown belly as she eyed the hospital door before her. Looking over and up to her godfather with a shaky smile. "Well…" she whispered lamely.

Jiraiya pecked her forehead and squeezed her shoulder in support. "I will be right outside, Naruto. Nobody can enter once you go inside. It will just be you and Danzo in there. Tsunade and I are right here."

Tsunade came forwards and cupped her surrogate granddaughter's check. "Naruto Namikaze, I don't mean to sound prudish, but you don't have much time before Kakashi gets here for you."

Naruto nodded and took a deep and calming breath. "Thank you. The both of you…for looking out for me and everything." The two Sannin smiled at the blonde that made her blush in embarrassment. "If Kakashi does make it to Konoha and I am still with Danzo, allow him in." she faced the door and nodded in thanks to Jiraiya as he slid open the door for her. Squaring her shoulders, Naruto walked into the dank smelling room. Hearing the door shut behind her and chakra wash over her frame as the toad Sannin placed up a privacy barrier.

"Who's there?" An old gravelly voice croaked.

Naruto's eyes harden as he grabbed the curtain barrier and gently pulled them aside. She withheld her need to gasp as she saw a thin, pale and fragile looking man lying on the white sheeted bed with tubes sticking out all over him. "Danzo-sama, it has been a while, has it not?" she voiced in a calm, strong and independent voice.

Danzo's sole sunken eye widen in shock before happiness then blankness. "Narumi…seven months has been a long time." His eye travelled down to where her hand rested and glared as he bitterly spat out. "That child would've been mine if my stubborn fiancé hadn't run away and cost me almost my entire ANBU force. You were to give me heirs to carry on my line of work…you were to be mine."

Naruto remained cool to Danzo's words. "Your obsession with me is unhealthy, Danzo-sama. I knew from the moment our eyes met that you were to be only a danger to my family and me." She closed her eyes calmly and recalled. "I know you're type, Danzo-sama. You seeked my company for my looks, you seeked my womb for my bloodline, you seeked my personality for your pride." Opening her icy clod blue orbs and voiced strongly. "The Yuki clan and ice-bloodline shall never belong to you, Danzo-sama. The Sandaime kept my status quiet for a reason…you were that very reason, Danzo-sama."

Danzo sneered. "The fact that I am still breathing means that you still belong to me, Narumi. You and that bastard child that you are carrying. You are still my fiancé…you are still mine. How foolish of you to return to me when you know what you have to return to."

Naruto sighed and moved to Danzo's side. "It was never my intentions to return to Konoha whilst you still breathed the same air as me, but if you died, I wouldn't gain my closure and curse you for the remaining days of my life. But…a certain wolf broke down my defences and got me packing back for Konoha. Thought not for you, have I returned, Danzo-sama. You see…my fiancé is very possessive and jealous…in fact, I came alone knowing that he wouldn't hesitate to kill you slowly." she smirked at Danzo's scowl. "By law, I am your fiancé till you die, but by bond I belong to another male…and when you die, I plan to marry him and as you can see, I am currently carrying his lineage. I can see even now that you won't last the week and as soon as you breathe your last breath, I will sing with joyous and dance over your grave." Naruto's smirked turned sinister. "Who knows? I might even set fire to your body just as I did to that rapist."

Danzo coughed harshly due to his weakened condition. "Do as you please once I am gone, Narumi, but right now, you belong to me and me only. My word is law for you. You are mine and so is that bastard child you carry. You will pleasure me till my last breath as my submissive fiancé should, Narumi."

Naruto's posture turned cold, yet she didn't harm the man. "I think I should tell you now rather than on your last day, Danzo-sama. I am not Narumi Yuki, rather that name is an alias I have gone by. I do not harbour the ice-bloodline, though I have plenty of chakra and the infinities to create ice chakra. Yet I do have a bloodline, one I haven't used since I brought back the Godaime Hokage whilst fighting alongside to Godaime and Jiraiya-sama against Orochimaru and his right-hand man, Kabuto. I harbour the Kekkei Genkai of the Uzumaki clan…" she ignored his lapse in breathing as she continued. "You may know me better as Naruto Uzumaki…a male, but Sarutobi-Jiji hide me from assholes like you, Danzo-sama. My real name is Naruto Namikaze. Daughter of the Yondaime Hokage and Red Hot-Blooded Habanero. Jinchuriki to the Kyūbi no kitsune and mate of Kakashi Hatake, the last of the Hatake clan." She boasted as she tugged at her collar to reveal her mate mark.

Danzo hissed at the new information. "How dare you, you harlot?!" his beloved fiancé was supposed to be perfect and now she was beyond perfect. She was damn Kami in his eyes now. His Narumi Yuki turned out to be a woman of great lineage and power! But he wasn't mad at that, oh no. He was furious that his fiancé had whored herself off to the last Hatake. That didn't matter. That Hatake was out on a mission and Naruto was here with him. "We are to be wed at once, my beloved goddess! I won't let anyone have you! I will seal our souls together that when I die, so do you and our child."

"Obsessive much, Danzo-sama." Naruto chuckled. Not surprised in the least that Danzo would act this way. His thirst for power was always a dangerous one. "But, you have no power over me, Danzo-sama. As I said before, I may be your fiancé by law, but by bond I am Kakashi's…and besides, you're too crippled to touch me or Kakashi's offspring. Your ROOT division won't think twice about touching me due to the fact that my godfather, Jiraiya, has been spending the last seven month utterly weeding them out. But chat times over, Danzo-sama. It's time for my closure…" Naruto's hair split into nine fiery tails as a haunting aura washed over the room.

Danzo didn't know whether to be frightened or turned on.

He was indeed a very sick man…just like Sakura Haruno.
