Chapter 5

Kakashi pov

When Kakashi woken up half awake, he first look at the orange sky of sunset, surprised that he had sleep that long without any nightmares. He blinked, tried to adjust his hazy vision from sleep, then he stilled when he felt the warm and a slight movement on his head.

"Um..."

He set his head up fast and back away a little to gaze with the person beside him that kindly lean their shoulder to let him sleep. Grey eye meet violet, Kakashi blushed in embarrassment when he realize that he fall asleep on beautiful woman shoulder.

The woman look at him in concern, "Are you alright, Shinobi-san?" asked her worriedly. Kakashi put himself together, he rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "I'm so sorry for sleeping on you." the woman blinked at his apologize. She wave her hand off and smile warmly at him, "No, it's fine. You look like you really need some rest, Shinobi-san."

Kakashi snagged in relief when she mean what she said, then froze when she grab his face rubbing her thump on his masked cheek gently, gazing his masked face with her straight face.

"Um..." he started to speak again but before he managed to asked, she release his face with apologize "Ah, sorry! I just want to look the bags into your eyes, to see if they gone or not. It's look like it fade a little, maybe you should take more rest and have a good meal, they probably would be gone in no time." advice her.

Kakashi look troubled, it's been awhile someone care for him this much. He don't know how to respond to that, for her to tell him to rest and take care for himself, it's make him felt warm inside. Moreover, it's been awhile he can sleep without getting any nightmare or relapse of his memories.

He been longing of someone comfort, warm and affection but he didn't find a suited person until now.

"Ah!" he heard her voice said something in recognition and look at her that look at the sky. "It's already this late, it's time for me to go...well then, Shinobi-san! Have a good night and rest...See you around, shinobi-san!" said her and get up from her sit.

He just saw her leave until he didn't see her sight anymore leaving him alone in this quiet park. Deciding to go back to his apartment and take a better rest, he didn't realize until now that he caught a scent of his mate, makes him turn to direction of where the woman walked of too.

Growling in frustration for not realizing earlier, he started to make his way home.

Starting from that day, he started to remember his mate scent, lavender that mixed with sunflower and ink. When they meet again, he will make sure she will be his.

Normal pov

Naruto just got back home after the encounter with Copycat-nin Kakashi. He stock the groceries and put the furniture that he bought to the place where he want it to be.

While he do so, he make a conversation with his tenant. 'Hey, Kurama?' Naruto's voice filtered through their mental link and the kyuubi shook himself out of his nap.

"Yes, Kit?" the fox grumbled.

'I've meaning to asked but I always got distracted. I can transform into a kitsune, do you perchance have anything to do with that?' Naruto asked.

"WHAT?!" the fox shouted, Naruto winced and shook his head. Pain lancing through him and making his head spin. "That hasn't happened before," Kurama mused voice still shocked. "At least not to my jinchuriki. But it has happened to my siblings jinchuriki numerous times before. Usually to those who are...sorry but I will not speak of that until you are old enough to understand." Kurama says suddenly embarrassed. Naruto blinked, brows furrowing in confusion. Why would he be embarrassed?
