Chapter 36: Catalyst of Connection

Blessed are the hearts that can bend; they shall never be broken.

Albert Camus

Kakashi watched Priya from afar as she participated in the junior diplomatic program. She was the only one with a bodyguard as she was only seven and had not gone through shinobi training for long. It was puzzling to watch her, because she had all the wants of a child, but when she spoke she was more thorough and intelligent than most adults. He could tell the teens were upset and threatened by her presence. Nevertheless, he was impressed and proud of her work.

Priya waved at Kakashi when she saw again. She glanced around and admired for the umpteenth time the architecture of the building they were in. It reminded her of the Taj Mahal in her world that she saw in social studies books. She noticed a few important people coming in that were clearly from Suna.

The Kage introduced himself and some of his advisors and formally greeted them. "Children, Introduce yourselves, these are your acquaintances in the future"

"I'm Temari of the Sand", Priya admired her confidence and she liked her voice. Priya could tell that she was strong even if she was not a full shinobi yet.

"Kankuro", said the boy with the painted face not bothering with any pleasantries.

There was a boy next to Kankuro with the Kanjii of Love on his forehead. Priya noticed the dark circles under his eyes, noting they were the worse that she had ever seen. It reminded her of when Soraya was sick in the hospital, He said nothing and his father cleared his throat. The boy also had reddish hair and his look made her fearful of him. It was like looking into death iitself. It was then that she realized he hadn't introduced himself yet and he wasn't intending to.

The Kage started talking and his children joined the crowd of future diplomats.

"Aren't you going to introduce yourself", asked Priya.

"No", said the redhead. Priya was slightly taken aback at the lifeless response.

"You know for someone who has a tattoo of love on your forehead, you are not very lovely", she replied. Temari stepped in between Priya and smoothly pushed her further away from the boy.

"His name is Gaara", she whispered. "I wouldn't test him if I were you", she warned.

"Why?", Priya asked.

"You already have a target on your back", warned Temari. Priya furrowed her brows in confusion.

"I haven't done anything", she whispered back. "I'm just doing my best"

Temari didn't know how to tell a budding eight-year-old that she was outpacing members of prominent families who were bred and raised for careers like this. Priya was a nobody, who showed up with the legendary Copy-ninja, and seemed that she would have his intelligence as well.

"You are shining too brightly", she clarified. "Allow others to shine every now and again, it's something my mother taught me before she died." Priya nodded at the statement half understanding what Temari meant but decided to take her advice. Plus, they had something in common-a dead mother.

"My mother was murdered", Priya admitted. "But I think she would say the same thing"

"Mine died after a difficult birth", Temari shrugged. "But everything she taught me I will hold forever, it's the reason why I'm strong and can beat the boys", she teased.

"My guardian always says go for the cock", Temari

Kakashi was leaning against a door frame watching his soon-to-be daughter. He exhaled as he sensed a lethal energy around Gaara. He was glad that one of her older peers handled the situation, as he didn't want to attack the Kage's son. His eye caught an all too familiar raven in the door frame. He sighed, left a clone of himself, and slipped away. There was almost a zero chance that anything could go wrong and if things did, he could use his clone to teleport back.

At the end of a lecture, there was a break for dinner before she would be escorted back to her quarter by Kakashi. A few older children from the Sand and different villages greeted her with an uncouth smile. It made Priya uncomfortable. However, the program they were attending was specifically for future diplomats, so she decided to be friendly.

"We saw you talking to Temari-sama, you aim very high", said one of the girls.

"I know basically, the princess of the village, how brave of you", said another one with fake intringue.

Priya shrugged her shoulders. "She talked to me", clarified Priya. She noticed another boy and girl in their group and they seemed interested in what she had to say. "She just gave me some tips that's all, she's very nice, I'm always eager to learn more about other countries"

The girl eyed her with interest. "Is that all?", she questioned. "Well seems Konhoa found a hidden gem, as you are not related to any clan", The girl started to touch a braid of Priya's. But, Priya tucked the braid from her hair from the girl's clutches.

"What does being part of a great family have to do with peace?", she questioned.

"Nothing per se?

"Are you from a great clan? Because I haven't heard of your last name", Priya further questioned. The girl looked briefly insulted at Priya.

"How dare you-", the girl stopped one of her friends from further speaking.

"I guess your right", she sighed. "Being in a clan has nothing to do with diplomacy", she said. "We got off the wrong foot, let me introduce myself, Tessa Tanaka, I am Gaara's future wife"

"Oh, and how's that I thought there couldn't be any betrayals until both parties are at least 13", inquired Priya.

"The women in my family have always served the Kazekage family", Priya raised her eyebrow in interest. "Good, you understand now, for both of our missteps why don't we makeup, we can go to the playground tonight and have fun, after all this boring stuff"

Priya thought about it and nodded. "But don't we have curfew?", Priya asked.

"That's why we are sneaking out, it will be fun", said one of her friends. Priya thought about it, it would be hard to escape, but if it was late at night it could work.

"Okay", she agreed only because she thought it would be best to make friends out of a potential nemesis.

Suzume entered the room where Soraya was still in mourning clothes. Suzume thought it would be better for Soraya to be in Suzume's ancestral home, rather at the palace or at the original Akatsuki compound. Soraya was grateful as memories of her now broken family plagued the walls.

Suzume sat next to her friend. "Orochimaru-sama bought a gift for you?", she said softly.

"I never knew Orochimaru-sama was capable of lifting spirits?", she said dully. Suzume flicked Soraya in the head. "Ow, sorry", they had made a pact not to talk about each other's love and she had broken it, through her grief haze.

"I have you know, he is very capable of comfort", Suzume said strongly. "The day he saved me, I was being raped by Mitsuki, and she had done other tortuous things to me prior", her voice was rising at the memories.

"I'm-

"I'm not done", she exclaimed holding her head up. "Listen", she commanded. "He took notice of my intelligence and gave me this job, a mere teenager, responsibility for helping me build his village, and surprisingly I didn't have to sleep with him. Women here have slept with men for way less" Soraya wanted to roll her eyes but Suzume continued. "I am aware of his research and all the bad things he has done, but do you know that under his rule the area has seen a supreme increase in literacy rates, and people have more opportunities for a prosperous life, everyone has a chance to not only survive but thrive"

"I can't take this, you make him sound-

"Intriguing? Complex? Even Nice", Suzume raised an eyebrow in question.

"Nice is a relative term". Soraya waved her hand to her face as her internal temperature started to rise..

"And not all relationships are absolute!", Suzume knew that Soraya tended to try to win arguments with logical and analytical traps and she was putting her notice that this debate would be won in such a way.

"I was going to say human, and not the snake he is", Soraya said, finding a calming tone. Suzume lowered her eyes in contentment at Soraya. "Don't give me that look, all the qualities you said, you always had them, he didn't just discover it, everyone can see it before-

"But Orochimaru was the only person to accept it, utilize it and appreciate it, and appreciate me!", she exclaimed. "And you as my friend should accept that"

"I as a friend, want to protect you", countered Soraya. Soraya cursed herself. As if she could do that right now with everything going on around her.

"You think I don't want that for you", replied Suzume shaking her head. "I never interfered with you and Itachi",

"WELL YOU SHOULD HAVE", she yelled. "Then I wouldn't have fallen in love with him", she admitted. "I would have closed myself off, and not let any emotion-"

"That is a lie and you know it", Suzume countered. "You knew how dangerous he was from the beginning. I saw it, you were the only one that could have stopped him from killing Orochimaru that day. You might have not known the gravity of who he was, but you knew. You are too smart and insightful not to. " Soraya didn't know what to say to the compliment as she rarely got the complimented, except from Itachi and her parents.

"How do you even know that Orochimaru feels the same way as you, You said it yourself that he doesn't touch you, he's very professional, I'm worried that you are putting your entire love life on a wish" Suzume looked pensively at Soraya.

"Orochimaru is a virgin", Suzume said plainly. "And that doesn't leave this room", she whispered.

"But he is older than my parents", Soraya squealed in a whisper.

"Orochimaru's true goal is knowledge, he wants to be the most powerful, just to pursue it", Suzume sighed rubbing the temples of her forehead. "But now with the guidance of me and my father, he is discovering that if more people had access to knowledge, it benefits him, thus my father made a deal with him, at my request"

"That deal being you marrying him", Soraya filled in the gaps. "At 15?", she asked.

"Orochimaru raised it to 22", Suzume replied. "And it still had to be my choice, and I don't even have to give him an heir"

"Is he? Ya know?", hoping Suzume would catch her inference on a taboo topic.

Suzume did catch on and thought through their interactions before answering. "More like strategic" Suzume shrugged. "Orochimaru-sama seems to think through every decision he makes", Suzume's eyes downcasted on to the ground as she opened somewhat of a hard truth. " What does he truly want with me ", she questioned to herself but quickly recovered as she knew Soraya's inceptive eye was watching her every move. " I know he likes the opposite sex, as he reacted to me, although he pushed me away and said he would like me when I was older ?" , she asked herself.

Soraya didn't know how to react, but her face did it for her. Suzume ignored the slight judgment and shock on her face. There relationship still felt odd in her eyes. "Until then I can see and do other...prusits", informed Suzme in a teasing manner.

Soraya raised an eyebrow at her friend. Although Soraya was slightly older than Suzume it always seemed Suzume was the more mature one in all ways; including emotionally and physically. Soraya glanced at her filled breast hidden underneath the hanbok. Additionally, her face outgrew the girlish soft features and now was sharper and more alluring.

Suzume smirked at Soraya's observant gaze."What I'm saying is that people can do inexcusable deeds, but still care for someone, even lust after them", Soraya blinked out of her trance and turned away in embarrassment knowing she had been caught staring too long.

Suddenly a crow with red and black eyes flew on the balcony ledge. Soraya exiled and grabbed some food and fed it. "What a strange crow?", Suzume muttered.

"It's Itachi's", Soraya answered softly. After she fed it she leaned on the balcony and stared at it in melancholy. "It's his way of keeping tabs on me", Suzume gave her a knowing smile.

"And you accept this", she questioned Soraya as this action was outside the scope of her independent nature.

She sighed in slight defeat. "It is slightly comforting", Soraya admitted softly turning away and petting the crow before eating it. "But don't you report that to him", she tapped the peak in playfully. "I'm still very angry" A new heat stirred through her as she clenched her fist. She had been wrestling with the emotions of wanting Itachi to engulf her entirely and her aversion to the deeds that he has done or will do in the future.

Suzume embraced her from behind and gave her a playful and sinister smile. "How about we make them jealous?"

"Jealous?" Soraya questioned. "Them?" Soraya caught on that she was talking about Orochimaru. "How exactly would Orochimaru know?", Soraya asked. " That's bold for you to outright tell him "

"We all know that no one in the royal court can't measure up", Soraya rejected the idea with a chuckle.

"True, but a certain girl might?", Suzume countered.

Soraya stared at her in complete silence not knowing what to say. She had been thinking how beautiful she was, but Soraya usually denied any of her sexual urges. She had become very good at it. For if she didn't deny it, she would have pounced on Kakashi, Itachi Suzume, and several of the noblemen and women within in the palace. As Hanzo kept highly attractive people within the palace walls.

Before Soraya could think any further, Suzume pressed her soft pink lips on Soraya's. "Well, willing to take a chance with me",

"I have no idea what to do", Soraya confessed breathlessly. Suzume smiled as she knew that she would be Soraya's first. Suzume kissed her even deeper this time and Soraya timidly returned it. To her surprise, Soraya cupped her face with both and pushed her down on a nearby couch. Suzume laughed playfully and both started to explore each other's bodies.

"I see you escaped the wedding activities", said Kakashi in his normal nonchalant tone as he entered his room. Itachi gave him a curious look. "How is your little jewled goddess doing these days?", he asked in a rhythmic nonchalant tone. Kakashi could tell that Itachi just showered, as his hair was still wet,. He smelled freshly clean, but even he couldn't wash away the scent of his arousal.

" Trapped in a palace", Itachi answered curtly. Kakashi could tell he didn't want to talk about her which was odd for him. "But she gave me strict orders to give this to you" he reached in his robe and gave him Soraya's gift.

"The girls are really big on birthdays", noted Kakashi. Or he wasn't accustomed to having one. He opened it and it was a few crochet bookmarks, a few paper bombs and a note that he would read later. But the bookmarks had embroidery on them with a gold jewel on the end. It was a very intricate piece of work and he appreciated the detail. He chuckled at the memory of her scolding him for folding a page down in his book. For someone who didn't like reading she very much appreciated books.

"Soraya said that was the only time her mother wouldn't yell at her", said Itachi. "Gotta say I'm kinda glad I will never get to meet her"

Kakashi felt very uncomfortable with the joke as he realized that all their mothers were dead. But knowing Itachi, he knew there was an underlining darkness in that statement. "Priya gave your brother and Naruto a grand performance for his birthday"

"You sound like a proud father", countered Itachi.

"She's adorable and she surprises me every day", said Kakashi tucking the items in a safe spot."But I'm worried that her happy exterior is just a mask", he looked at the sky in deep thought admiring.

"Like your continuing sarcasm?", Itachi retorted. "She is a conscientious child", Itachi stated. He thought back when he had to use his status of an alpha to silence her about the knowledge that he was Sasuke's brother and that he actually loved him very deeply. It would have been a matter of time before she told Sasuke her observations and then Sasuke would eventually figure out everything by himself just from her inference.

Oh by the way", Kakashi snapped out of his star gazed trance to gut punch Itachi. Itachi doubled over. "Leave the girls out of any of your plans!", he grabbed Itachi by the collar and slammed him against the wall. Itachi then felt his hair violently pulled back as Kakashi put his fist at the base of his skull with Itachi's thick hair in his grasp. Then he felt the prickle of a tip of a kunai at his throat. " NEVER use another child from this point forward.", Kakashi's voice turned icy. Itachi knew that Kakashi couldn't kill him without killing himself in the process, but the threat still sent chills down his spine. The swiftness and the merciless grip that Itachi was under made him recognize Kakashi was the only man alive who could kill him-and will at his own expense. Not surprising as he was his former captain.

This altercation took Itachi by surprise. Then he realized that Kakashi as a Beta could coax the truth out of Priya by allowing her to break her vow of silence. Itachi didn't know but something in that knowledge gave him relief. He liked that there were limits in his authority as an Alpha. It also added to the mystery of what it meant to be truly bonded. Nonetheless, it proved that the jutsu was meant as an act of love and devotion and not as a slave tool as most people use it as.

But most importantly he relished in the dominance that Kakashi displayed.

"And this is why I love you", Itachi choked out. Kakashi's eyebrow raised and surprise illuminated his unmasked eye.

"Don't fuck with me right now", warned Kakashi. Kakashi was enraged. He had the knowledge of the encounter for only a few weeks, but the magnitude of his anger just exploded when he saw Itachi, just standing nonchalantly without a thought about it. Someone had to put him in his place.

"You're right, I went too far", he choked out. He raised himself a little so he could breathe. "But it's imperative...

Kakashi threw him on the ground, with his hand still attached to his neck and his knee to his chest. "Listen, I don't give a shit about your grand plan for Sasuke, but I swore not to interfere, I will do EVERYTHING I can for you, but my priorities changed", growled Kakashi. "My loyalty are to my girls, the village, then you", he took his hand off his throat but not before shoving him. Itachi sucked in a deep breath. He had never seen Kakashi so angry before, that he would forget that every breath that Itachi had, he begged for it because of his cancer. He grabbed his neck which was still tender. He also didn't have the heart to tell him that it was getting worse.

"Why don't you do something about it?", Itachi teased.

"Oh", he said darkly. "I have something planned just for you", he remarked ominously. Kakashi considered himself a forgiving man but he was still hardened by the events that unfolded a couple of months ago, when Kutso was unleashed, on top of messing with one of his children of his newly formed pack.

" Hopefully, it's better than what Soraya had for me ", Itachi thought to himself. But all thoughts of Soraya were temporarily gone when Kakashi started to caress his face. It felt dangerous, as he usually could read Kakashi very well.

He traced the bridge of Itachi's nose. He wanted to break it, but at the same time wanted to make the most of what little time they had together. Kakashi's closed in the distance of their faces almost like he was going in for a kiss, but stopped mere cenemiters from Itachi's face. "But first, I want to hear you say it again." Kakashi finally took his knee off Itachi's chest and stood up.

Itachi took in a deep breath at the release and stood up himself. "I love you", expressed Itachi.

Kakashi didn't respond at first, but a momentary bliss rang through him as Itachi's confession rang through his ears. "Say it again", demanded Kakashi.

"I. Love. You", Itachi said every word deliberately.

"You chose me", said Kakashi. "But I loved you first", admitted Kakashi. Itachi was waiting for a passionate kiss from his lover and bonded but it never came. Kakashi seemed more controlled but from the bulge from his pants Itachi could tell that he was aroused. Itachi could feel his heart hasten as Kakashi placed his hand on his chest and pushed him a little roughly to the wall. "Why don't you breathe, Itachi"

Itachi did as he was told and let out a big inhale and exhale. However, instead of calming him down his face got redder, as Kakashi closed the gap in between them. "Kakashi?"

Kakashi gave him a short, rough slap and grabbed his face "I didn't say you could talk". Itachi closed his mouth but he could start to feel his body becoming aroused. He relaxed against the wall taking in all of Kakashi's powerful presence. Although Itachi was taller than him, he felt small under his single-eyed gaze. This is when Itachi usually had a quip to say back, but Kakashi's gaze made him await his next demand.

Kakashi took off his Akatsuki robe and threw it in a nearby chair. "Take off your shirt", Itachi slowly did as he said awaiting his next move. Kakashi grazed his finger over his chest. Leaving phantom traces over his chest. He seemed to do a rhythmic trail toward Itachi's naval, then he dragged his finger across the hem of his pants, then finally grazed his fingernails across his chest.

Itachi clutched his hands together as he purposely went over his sensitive spots. It took everything for him not to rush Kakashi and smother him in kisses. But he knew that it wouldn't work this time, and Kakashi would not only stop but unleash a fury that Itachi did not care to see.

"Glad I have your attention, now get on your knees", growled Itachi. Itachi obliged sliding his hands down Kakashi's body. Kakashi didn't have to say anything else as he unbuckled his uniform trousers. Itachi further pulled down his trousers revealing his throbbing erection.

Kakashi braced himself along the wall when he felt Itachi's tongue tease his length before descending his mouth on him. He let out a low guttural moan as he felt him speed up the pace. Kakashi tried controlling how loud he was as he knew that the hotel walls were thin and Priya's room was right next door. Also, he wanted full control of how this rendezvous would go with Itachi. Although, that control was almost lost when he felt his tip at the back of Itachi's throat.

Itachi bobbed his head deeper and deeper a few more times before coming up for air. He looked up to Kakashi gaging his reaction. When he noticed that he was in strangled bliss, he smirked and added his hand to his base to add to pleasure for Kakashi.

Withdrawing from his mouth Kakashi let out a sigh. He grabbed Itachi by the chin and motioned him to rise. He pulled down his mask and mashed his lips against Itachi's before pushing him on the bed. He unceremoniously slid Itachi's pants down before descending his mouth from his neck to naval, down to his nether regions, where he gave a long lick to his hardened member.

A loud moan escaped Itachi as Kakashi's member danced around Itachi's welcoming hole. Kakashi paused and grabbed the nearest cloth and stuffed it in Itachi's mouth to gag him. Kakashi didn't have to explain as he knew Priya was next door, but he was one to never hold back in sex. Kakashi resumed his teasing and Itachi felt his body relax, until a few images came into his mind.

Itachi saw through the connection of his crow, Soraya and Suzume in a passionate kiss. Then the images switched to their naked bodies playfully exploring each other. Itachi got more excited as he saw Soraya take the reigns even if it was clear she was timid on what exactly to do. The shock was an understatement of how he felt, but he couldn't look away and his dick was painfully erect at the visuals and Kakashi's stimulation.

He grabbed the lube from the bed about to put it in his hand to further fulfill his hardened need, but Kakashi took it from him.

"I didn't say you can touch yourself", Kakashi said darkly. He strangled groan came from Itachi, as he finally figured out what Kakashi had planned.

" FUCK", he yelled in his brain as more images came through his head. This time he hoped that he was wrong that this was one of Kakashi's edging sessions as he felt the need to cum as soon as possible. Kakashi pleasuring him and the naked images of Suzume and Soraya, especially Soraya were too much to bare.

Kakashi finally entered him slowly. He took his time but when he finally found Itachi's pleasure spot, he took slow deliberate pumps. He could tell it was pure torture for Itachi. And that's exactly what Kakashi wanted. He could feel himself wanting to go faster, but he wanted it to last a little longer.

Meanwhile, Suzume and Soraya finished their first orgasm together. "Suzume? Is there anything you would like me to do to you?" Soraya knew the only reason Suzume was so experienced in pleasuring her was because of the frequent sexual assault from Hanzo's sister, Misaki. For that reason, she wanted to make sure her friend got a sense of control with their lovemaking.

Suzume blushed at the compassion that her friend displayed. At first she thought Soraya was using her bisexual nature to get off on the sexual tension of her and Itachi, but it was something more than that. "Actually there is", accepting Soraya's invitation. "Get on the floor and lie on your back", Suzume went for a deep kiss. "And I want you to use your power for this one", she smiled wickedly. Soraya have her an unsure look but did as she commanded, but soon after she thanked her repeatedly for that small suggestion.

Kakashi enjoyed his game that had went on for over an hour. He would feel Itachi contort in pleasure and withdraw. Every time, Itachi shouted through the cloth and Kakashi got a wave of pleasure and satisfaction every time.

He entered him again going a little faster and a little harder. Suddenly an image popped into his pleasure-filled mind. At first, he didn't know what it was, but the person was filled with ecstasy and was on the border of being in a dreamlike state. They were moaning from pleasure. The person looked at themselves and he recognized the brown skin, it was Soraya. He didn't know what was going on at first, but then he saw another girl on top of her.

He stopped briefly and Itachi screamed again at the cessation of pleasure. Nonetheless, Kakashi could feel everything Soraya was feeling. "Soraya?", he whispered to himself. Itachi at first thought it was his thoughts that said her name but he noticed it was Kakashi when he stopped a little to long.

" Kakashi?", Soraya thought to herself before she went back to her ministrations. She felt like his presence was there, but took it as her senses being overwhelmed with pleasure.

Kakashi entered Itachi him again as his arousal was spiking. His pace was faster and stronger and Itachi thanked whatever Gods existed. "Please Kakashi let me cum", he pleaded through his makeshift gag. Itachi still had the images popping through his head as Soraya and Suzume continued.

Kakashi was having the same problem but he pulled himself together. He had planned to send Itachi burning with desire to get his point across but, with the images and sensations flowing through his mind it was hard to be in that much control. He had to pivot. He took out the cloth from Itachi's mouth

"First Itachi, if you want to cum I have two questions and one demand but you simply can't say yes, you have to promise on our bond"

"Fine", said Kakashi.

"Do you truly love me" questioned Kakashi.

"Yes, I didn't realize that I needed to say after all these years, but I do I swear Kakashi"

"Do you love Soraya"

"I do", admitted Itachi. "Although we are at an impasse as she doesn't find me honest"

"You need to do better Itachi, all around", said Kakashi. "You are lucky that two people love you, but you have to be transparent and not rely on yourself, ask for help, that is my demand"

Itachi looked away in slight embarrassment. He was caught off guard by the butterflies in his stomach.

"I accept".

"Good", Kakashi bent down and kissed him deeply. It was interrupted by the images and sensations through his head and body. Kakashi wanted nothing to do with what he felt was an invasion of privacy of Soraya and whoever she was with. He needed a better distraction.

He glanced at the mirror and a crazed smile appeared on his face. He repositioned himself and Itachi to face the mirror. Itachi was upright on his knees and noticed himself and Kakashi in the mirror's reflection. Kakashi bent him over slightly to enter and started to pump faster than he previously had. A loud moan escaped Itachi again, and Kakashi covered his mouth with his hand.

"I said be quiet", growled Kakashi.

"Then don't fuck me as good as you do", he retorted. Kakashi grabbed his neck and grazed his neck in playfulness. He loved the compliment. Kakashi grabbed the lubricant and squeezed it into Itachi's hand.

"Let's play a game", whispered Kakashi in Itachi's ear. He looked at both of them in the mirror and locked eyes with Kakashi as he was still rocking his hips in a rhythmic tempo. "I want to see you fuck yourself, but", he paused to nibble on his ear. "If you scream loudly again, I'll stop hitting this precious spot you like, stop completely, and send you on your way"

"Accepted", Itachi said as he saw the challenge as more erotic. Itachi had a look of relief when he finally touched his throbbing cock. He bent down and bit his knuckle as he wanted to scream in pleasure. Itachi on top of him brought him closer and closer. He was sure he wouldn't last long as Kakashi kept going deeper and harder at the perfect pace.

Kakashi felt Itachi tense against him and quickly covered his mouth, as he knew that Itachi was too stimulated to be quiet as he came. He screamed out Kakashi's name in his hand. Watching Itachi unwind in the mirror and him being the reason for it made Kakashi become close as well. Finally, after a few minutes, he was able to ride out his orgasm.

Both were heavily panting and laid down beside each other. Itachi chuckled as a result of his strong orgasm. But then thoughts of Soraya crossed his mind. He decided to ignore it and deal with it in time. Now, he would accept that this was an unbelievable sexual experience.

"Why did you say Soraya's name", asked Itachi not as an accusation, but out of curiosity.

"She came into my mind like I was her", Kakashi said honestly. "I also think she felt me"

"Have you bonded with her?", asked Kakashi trying to make sense of what happened.

"No she doesn't fully understand that component yet", Kakashi gave him a glare that told Itachi that he should have told her the full truth by now.

"That being said it's something connecting you to, it's not my doing", explained Itachi. "Although I did see her having…relations with her friend"

Kakashi nodded and then he shot up. "Was this by chance her first time?"

Itachi shrugged. "I believe so"

"No, no, no, no, not again", he thought to himself. Kakashi covered his face and screamed in his pillow. He would have to talk to Tsume the head of the Inuzuka clan. Outside of combat, this is what she specialized in—Fated Mates.

Except he refused to accept this because of their age difference. He decided then and there to have it reversed.

Itachi was grateful that the images finally stopped as it seemed Soraya took to her slumber and Suzume was right next to her caressing her, humming a song.

"Itachi", Suzume smiled as Soraya murmured her fiancés name. It made it clear that this was a one-time thing, and she was glad. However, something about this session uplifted her spirit and she wouldn't want to experience it with any other woman. She stared at her friend for what seemed like an hour. Then, another name that she didn't expect to hear came from her mouth "Kakashi, what are you doing here", Soraya readjusted her position and went into a deeper slumber.

" Does she mean the Son of the Silver Fang?", Suzume asked herself. She smiled at herself, knowing it was the Kakashi Hatake.

Suzume walked to the crow and she let it. "I hope you enjoyed the show Uchiha-sama, you'll be happy to know that your name escaped her lips, and just right after we were done", she said playfully. "How rude", she pouted. "What's more interesting is that your former captain was also mentioned, interesting"

The crow's eyes started to form a deep shade of red, indicating anger from Itachi. "Don't worry I don't kiss and tell", she winked before leaving the room. "Hurry back it hasn't been as entertaining without you here", she chuckled.

Before she did she left a jar with a large female petrified tarantula. On it, there was a note from Orochimaru.
