Ninja Daily: Vapors 46

Tenten was conflicted. It had been surprising to be asked out by a girl she barely knew, but also a bit emflattering/em. She wouldn't want to say that she was attracted to powerful people, but there was something very appealing about self-assured, talented shinobi that Tenten definitely liked. Uzumaki Aiko was only fourteen, and already doing very well as a kunoichi. Aiko was no Tsunade of the Sannin, of course, but she was already the kind of kunoichi that Tenten would have looked up to as a little girl. She knew perfectly well that the other girl had a reputation for being reclusive and sharp-tongued, but that couldn't scare a girl who worked with Hyuuga Neji. Even the iciest of personalities thawed for something.

She just had to find out what Aiko softened for, and if she liked what she found when the walls came down, this might go somewhere. But first…

"Is… Is that Yamanaka Ino and her team hiding behind the curtain?" Tenten questioned uncertainly. Granted, it was hard to tell with surety, but there was one large lump and two thin ones, one of which seemed to be attached to tiny feet with sparkly blue nail polish and a silver toe ring.

Aiko shrugged without looking up from her fancy menu. "Probably," she offered. "But paying attention to her only encourages her persistent weirdness."

'They're within hearing distance,' Aiko noted distantly when a shriek of outrage reached her ears, muffled by what was probably Shikamaru's hand. 'I wonder why she dragged the boys along for this?'

"Oh, I see," Tenten said, sounding as if she really did understand now. It figured. If anyone in the world had been forced to acclimate to others' oddities more than Tenten, she didn't know of them. "So, ah. You look nice tonight…" She gave a quick glance to her companion's purple dress. It definitely wasn't something she'd ever seen Aiko wear before.

"That's probably why Ino is lurking," she explained contemplatively, lowering her menu to peek at her date. "Apparently, I own nothing suitable for wearing in civilized company and I was going to die alone with my dogs if she didn't help me out."

"You have dogs?" Tenten inquired 'Pets? She doesn't seem like the kind of person who'd keep pets.'

'Oh, she's good,' Aiko noted. 'That was very smooth. She didn't even seem to stumble over thinking about commenting on the apparent deficiencies I hinted towards.'

"Kakashi-shishou let me sign his contract," she explained, reflexively moving to tuck her hair behind her ear out of habit even though it was pulled up. As always, she couldn't help but smile when she thought about getting to sign her shishou's contract. "I'm working with his pack right now, but I've already met two other ninken who are willing to work with me. We need to train together before they're mission-ready, since they're puppies too."

The other girl blinked. "Too? There are other puppies?"

Aiko flushed. "Ah, no, I meant me," she explained sheepishly. 'I forget that others don't use that terminology.'

"That's adorable," Tenten said firmly. "I like it. I might end up with Gai-sensei's tortoise contract, since Lee can't use chakra and Neji is… Well, he's Neji." She shrugged helplessly, as if to say, 'what can you do?'

"Yes, he is," Aiko agreed dryly. At the sharp expression her tone brought, she raised an eyebrow. "I have fond memories of him pounding the absolute crap out of me in taijutsu spars in the Academy. He's just so cheerful and encouraging that I've never forgotten the experience."

"Oh, I'd forgotten all about that!" Tenten breathed with an air of revelation. She giggled openly, not even bothering to hide the fact that her shoulders were shaking with laughter. "Yeah, he stomped you good, didn't he?"

An amused snort brought their attention to the waitress who had been politely standing by the table. "I'm sorry to interrupt your romantic dinner conversation. What will you ladies have today?"

When they were alone again, Tenten folded her hands in her lap and looked critically at her date. Why had she actually come on this date? She still wasn't entirely sure what she wanted, but she did feel a little bit of interest beyond a free meal at a nice restaurant.

"Did you want to see a movie afterward?"

Tenten shrugged noncommittally, still caught up in her thoughts.

Aiko was pretty, after all. It was the kind of pretty that belied her status as a B-class kunoichi and reputation as a rather ruthlessly practical one at that. Maybe in a few years she'd be the same sort of polished sexy that infiltration kunoichi gave off, but right now even the fact that her curves were more dramatic than Tenten's (admittedly minimal) curves didn't make her look very old. She was very petite and had those same enormous, soulful eyes that her brother had. It made for a very innocent sort of effect.

'I could tap that,' she decided internally. So what if Aiko was a year younger? In the grand scale of things, that was nothing.

"I don't know what's out in theaters right now," she managed to reply. "Is there anything you'd really like to see?"

She wasn't particularly fond of the way that Ino had apparently dressed Aiko up for this. It was pretty, but it didn't seem genuinely Aiko-ish. Tenten felt a bit underdressed in comparison, but it had seemed impractical to go home and change when she hadn't even been sweating in her pink top.

"Not really." Aiko made a face. "There's this romantic drama with that one Fujikaze woman that looks awful, though. You know the one I mean, right? On the billboard outside the theater?"

Looks aside, it was flattering to be singled out by someone so talented and reputedly intelligent. What had Aiko seen in her that made her decide to ask Tenten out, and not the hunk of Hyuuga that was standing beside her at the time, or even Ino? Aiko already knew Ino, after all. She didn't know Tenten.

"Everything she's in looks awful," Tenten replied with a huff of amusement. It was true. She didn't see why everyone went so nuts over those stupid princess movies. They were formulaic and dull. "Maybe we should forget the movie and go for a walk instead?"

Aiko nodded easily. "I think I'd like that. It's so beautiful out, especially after languishing in Wind Country for a million years." She made a face. "Maybe the west park?"

'And I don't really know her, either,' Tenten had to remind herself. It felt like she did, though. Gai-sensei brought up his Eternal Rival pretty frequently, and in the last year or so Lee had been getting compared to his Eternal Rival's apprentice. Apparently, Gai seemed to think they were natural foils and continuations of their respective sensei.

Tenten wasn't so certain about that. Hatake Kakashi seemed to have the same sort of analytical intelligence she was noting in her dining companion from what Gai-sensei had said, that was true. However, his social failings seemed to stem from avoidance and emotional trauma rather than genuinely not noticing cues. Uzumaki Aiko was a bit different. She faked social competency well until suddenly she missed a hint and either ended a conversation when someone else wanted to continue or failed to respond conventionally to someone having an emotional reaction. It wasn't uncommon for shinobi to have low emotional intelligence, however, so Tenten wasn't too bothered. Aiko seemed earnest enough, even if she didn't appear to have been adequately socialized when she was young to be able to relate openly to other people.

But if Gai-sensei was right about anything, this girl would be a force to be reckoned with, even if Lee was approximately one hundred thousand times better in taijutsu. That wasn't really a black mark against her, as Lee was a taijutsu monster, and had a good twenty pounds on the girl in question.

She leaned forward and cupped her chin in a hand, allowing herself to smile a little bit. "The park sounds great! So, Aiko. What do you do for fun?"

"This is boring," Chouji whined quietly, looking at a nearby table that had recently gotten their order with longing. Ino was just plain cruel, to bring him to a restaurant and not let him order anything. Ino made a rude grunt, but didn't do more than whap at his chest with a hand.

"Hush, I'm trying to listen!" she pouted a little. "They don't seem to be talking about anything interesting, though. Just work stuff." Honestly, who talked about emtraining/em when asked what they did for fun? That girl needed help. Tenten seemed to be eating it up, though.

Shikamaru remained silent. He'd been deep in thought since Ino had told him he had to come with her to spy on Uzumaki Aiko going on a date with Tenten. Chouji thoroughly expected to hear a completely brilliant theory by the end of the night. Obviously, he was really working hard at whatever he was thinking about.

His eyes darted around the room for anything to look at other than the distracting food. If he didn't make himself think of something else, he was going to be miserable throughout this entire stupid stakeout. Of course, Ino would probably only accept conversation on one topic…

"They make a nice couple, but I never thought of the two of them together," he offered lazily.

Shikamaru smirked on his right side, leaning over to mutter into his ear, "I am." Chouji stiffened, blushing at his childhood friend. That… that was disrespectful! He didn't want anyone looking at his little sister that way. He imagined Uzumaki Naruto would feel similarly about his sister, if he knew someone was picturing her naked, to say nothing of what Aiko herself would think.

(In the Land of Vegetables, Naruto suddenly sneezed, losing his grip on the Sexy-No-Jutsu and reverting to his blonde and male form in front of a very disappointed and confused contact he'd been meant to distract while Jiraiya got the goods.)

On his other side, Ino nodded furiously, missing the byplay. "I know, right? I thought for sure that Tenten was going to end up with that stick in the mud Hyuuga!" She paused, looking a bit confused. "I had no idea on Aiko," she added a bit grudgingly. "She never seemed interested in anyone, except maybe her weirdo teacher." Ino didn't care how well the man wore a Jounin uniform. He had habitually bad posture and funky hair—nothing on Asuma-sensei's scruffy bad-boy look. Ino suppressed a shiver.

Shikamaru shrugged lazily, letting a hint of wicked amusement seep into his tone. "Maybe it's Karin's influence," he suggested.

Then he had to flinch, unable to dodge the blow Ino awkwardly aimed at him, leaning across Chouji to do it. She scowled at him. "Don't be dumb. We don't actually know that Karin and Hinata are together. They could just be friends."

"Yeah, friends who are almost constantly together, physically affectionate, and who live together in the same house," he mused sarcastically. "That story holds together." Shikamaru gave an amused huff. "I'd like to see what goes on in that house," he said not-quite-quietly enough to Chouji.

Ino lunged, fingers curled into hooked claws.

'Time to get out of here,' the Akimichi wisely decided, desperately latching onto a chair with the kawarimi and switching places with it. It made a loud scrape sound when it reappeared too close to the wall and the back legs skidded down to thump on the floor, but Shikamaru was too busy cringing from the fire in Ino's eyes to comment on his sloppy technique.

"Idiot pervert!" she roared, shaking his shoulders with enough force to send his head flopping back and forth. "The whole point of that is that you aren't invited! Why are you so damn excited, huh?"

"What?" Tenten's eyes went wide, and she craned her neck to see what was going on behind the luxurious yellow curtain that appeared to be hiding a murder (and a chair). She wasn't alone. Most of the restaurant was straining to find the source of the sudden shouting. Except for Chouji, who appeared to be hiding his face with a menu and trying to blend in with a confused-looking family (which included a girl sitting on the floor for some reason. She sensed a connection).

Aiko, on the other hand, sighed tiredly and cradled her head in her hands. Through her eyelashes, she eyed her plate. She was over halfway done, and so was Tenten. Maybe…

"Why don't we head out early?" she suggested.

Tenten pushed her chair back with a relieved look. "Yeah, that's probably a good idea." As if she had suddenly remembered Aiko's warning not to pay Ino any attention, she carefully averted her eyes from the building drama of the manager storming out to yell at team ten. They waved down the waitress for the check and fled as soon as she'd brought them change and mints. Aiko popped her into her mouth right away, sucking on it as they walked out the door, but Tenten absentmindedly tucked hers into a pocket and held the door open for a couple entering the restaurant.

Aiko stole a glance at the other girl as they meandered to the outskirts of the district they were in towards the park they'd decided on, trying her best to rev up her hormones. That was the point of this exercise, after all. It was getting just a little dark—the sky was streaked with shadows where the fading sunlight couldn't paint, but it wasn't unpleasant. For once, she took time to appreciate that Konoha was the city of eternal summer. Entering the park was like taking a breath of fresh forest air out in the wilds. Birdsong and those damn cicadas rang in her ears with the same sincere persistence she'd expect a hundred miles out of the city limits.

Even though she knew the perception was deceptive and they were in the middle of Konoha, she couldn't help but think that her companion belonged in the wilds. Tenten's crisp, clean (obviously artificially dyed) clothing and hair only served to tie together the idea of something intense and natural hidden in the mundane. The effect was striking. Tenten wasn't as curvy as she might have found ideal, but there was something sleekly beautiful about the way that she moved. The girl just looked dangerous, even in that ridiculously unflattering, boxy pink cheongsam top.

That was a little sexy, to be honest. She wasn't one to care much that Tenten wasn't a good dresser. According to everyone who'd ever commented to her, Aiko was godawful at it herself. The starkly practical outlook that would lead a teenage girl to pick out those doubtlessly-comfortable and undoubtedly hideous pants she was currently swimming in would make her a damn fine kunoichi someday.

It had been less good planning and more coincidence that had led them to make it to the restaurant so late, but their timing had been excellent if what they wanted was alone time and a scenic view. The park was one of the largest in Konoha, and if there was anyone else inside, they weren't anywhere nearby. Just walking into the shadows of the park felt like a sigh of relief, and the little bit of tension Aiko had been carrying seeped out of her shoulders. They stuck to the runner's path, a thin trail that led by some of the prettiest sights inside, including a large pond with a tiny waterfall and a few shrines surrounded by natural gardens.

There didn't seem to be a need for words, so they just didn't speak. Tenten wordlessly snagged Aiko's wrist and pulled her off the path slightly to settle against a grassy overhang that happened to provide a view of the sunset through a break in the trees. She didn't drop Aiko's wrist when she folded her knees and sat, so Aiko allowed herself to be dragged down to settle against her warm side.

It was… nice. It was nice to just sit with someone who didn't feel the need to go do something as if to avoid the intensity of just being in another human being's presence. Aiko had never needed words and distractions like Ino, for example. A date with her would have ended like any other outing with Ino except with an additional interrogation. She already knew she had little patience for the constant whirlwind of conversation about stupid things that neither one of them really cared about, as if collecting tidbits about someone's preferences would help her construct something with real meaning or fill the space between them.

'What's that saying? Something about there being two types of people? One type communicates with words, the other communicates with action?' She sighed, leaning back and folding her arms to serve as a pillow. After a moment, Tenten followed suit, and their arms brushed when she'd settled. Some of Aiko's hair had escaped its confines and was tangling in the wind to settle on Tenten's arms, but she didn't seem to care. 'That's probably not exactly right, but it's close enough.'

Words were probably easier, but Aiko was prejudiced towards actions herself enough to think that words were also cheaper. She told people she loved them by doing things for them, not with formulaic expressions of emotion requiring formulaic response. Cooking for Karin and Hinata or helping Naruto with his taijutsu had never inspired passionate gratitude, but it was how she worked.

She felt relatively hopeful that Tenten was something of the same—not one to mince words. If she'd been wrong and Tenten was just chock full of feelings, Aiko would probably run for the hills. 'Then again,' she thought a little guiltily, 'it would probably be fair to her to express that I'm not really looking for a regular relationship. It would be super shitty if I didn't say anything and she thought we were on track to a 'forever' relationship when I was looking for something more casual.'

"You know, I had a good time," Tenten mused. Well, that was as good an opening as any she was likely to get. Aiko let her eyes close. It didn't matter, since she was looking straight up and not at the other girl anyway.

"Yeah, I did too," she murmured. "I'd like to spend more time together, but I should probably make clear ahead of time that I don't really want a serious relationship right now." She was a little uncertain as to how that would go over—Tenten could be offended or think there wasn't any point investing in a relationship that wasn't intended to be long term. That would be disappointing, but understandable.

Aiko relaxed the tenseness that had built up on her shoulders when the other girl gave a surprised little laugh. "Wow, you're so serious." Tenten rolled onto her side, giving Aiko a contemplative look. "You know, it's not like I was expecting a proposal or anything. We're too young to consciously try to make a lifelong relationship thing happen." She made a slight face. "I mean, maybe we'll be that compatible, but if we aren't, I'm not going to be offended or anything."

"Oh good." She let herself give a sly smile. "Because if you were, the ring probably would have had to come from Ino, and that would be a little tacky for a declaration of my eternal love."

Tenten snorted. "Maybe we shouldn't do the whole fancy dinner thing again," she suggested idly. "I mean, I know that's what dates supposedly are, but it's not my kind of thing. Personally, I'm happiest training or staying in." With a skeptical expression, she added, "That doesn't really seem like your optimal environment, either."

"So, what, would you want to have training dates or something?" Aiko prodded, liking the idea. It would mean no more dressing up in things she didn't find appealing and sitting in a crowded place, expected to make conversation.

"Sure," Tenten shrugged, pushing herself up slightly and looking down at Aiko, who was still prone on the grass. For a strange moment, Aiko thought the other girl's gaze was on her lips and not her eyes, but the impression passed and Tenten glanced down to rustle around inside a pocket.

"I like the idea," Aiko said firmly. Tenten ripped open her dinner mint with a crinkle and popped it in her mouth before giving a friendly smile and tucking the wrapper back in her pocket.

"Perfect. How about next week, in the morning or something? I don't have a Wednesday morning workout partner, actually." There was a tiny click that was probably Tenten flicking the hard candy against her teeth. She crunched down, apparently shattering the candy, maintaining eye contact.

"I'll meet you then." Aiko had to smile. This whole human interaction thing wasn't as complicated as she had been led to believe. She could do this, easy.

Something threatened to twitch in her eye. God, how oblivious was this girl? 'Oh, wait,' Tenten remembered. 'I forgot about the whole 'socially inept' thing. She hides that better than the boys do. I can't count on her to pick up on subtle cues.' Her resolve firmed. 'I should be direct.'

"Soooo," Tenten dragged out the word for a full two seconds. Something was clearly on her mind. This time, Aiko was positive that she caught Tenten looking at her mouth. "Are we going to make out or what?"

Her eyebrows shot up. 'That was blunt,' Aiko thought. 'But definitely not unwelcome'. She had to give a surprised little laugh, but she responded quickly. "I like the idea." She moved to sit up, unfolding her arms from behind her head and moving to prop herself up. She'd barely managed to sit upwards before Tenten placed one hand above her right shoulder on the grass and used the other to gently but firmly push Aiko's torso back down, before slipping it to brace against the grass by Aiko's other shoulder.

Tenten wasn't a big girl by any means, but suddenly she was a looming presence blocking out most of the dying sunlight. Aiko sucked in a surprised breath, blinking up at the sideways smile and indulgently amused glitter in dark brown eyes. That wasn't what she'd expected to happen.

"Good."

Then she leaned down and all Aiko could register was just how soft and warm the other girl's lips were. Involuntarily she licked at her own, getting a taste of the mint still clinging to Tenten's warm breath where her mouth was slightly parted./p

"Mmm," Tenten hummed, turning her head slightly to change the angle of the kiss, pulling back just a little and ducking back in again to tug lightly on Aiko's lower lip. She emshivered/em, a little shell-shocked by the new sensation, and let her right hand lift up to slip under Tenten's shirt and slid her fingertips across smooth skin.

'Oh my god, what have I been missing out on?' she managed to think blearily.

Tenten must have been thinking something similarly positive, because she adjusted her position by moving her right knee over to straddle Aiko. The extra contact- emhad Tenten always been that warm, because she was really noticing it now/em- was nice, but Aiko liked it quite a bit more when it became clear that the movement freed up Tenten's right hand to go exploring down her front, lightly trailing short nails and surprisingly soft fingertips down her neck, between her breasts, and then back up to cup at one of them.

In any other situation, Aiko wouldn't have even considered letting the weak, pleading whine that swelled up from the back of her throat to be heard. She didn't know what the hell she was begging for, but she needed it badly.

Tenten pulled her face back with a self-satisfied smile, holding eye contact for a long moment before she brushed a kiss along her jaw line, tugged playfully at Aiko's ear- and whoa, that was interesting- and then gave a short lick to the column of her neck below.

'I wish I wasn't wearing this stupid dress,' she suddenly realized with undue vehemence. If she'd been wearing a shirt, Tenten would have better access. At least it had a wide, low collar that left her collarbones exposed, because the shiver that rocked her body when the older girl gently exhaled at the base of her neck was delicious.

Of course, Tenten wasn't wearing an irritatingly inhibitive dress… Her right hand had clenched lightly against Tenten's back at some point, so she opened it and began running her fingers up and down Tenten's spine. Her left hand lifted up and breached the so-far unexplored territory of Tenten's front.

The older girl gave a surprised squeak at the first brush over her ribs. Aiko could feel a giddy smile pulling at her face and she gave just a little huff of amusement before tilting her head to make eye contact to be sure this escalation was okay. Tenten looked a little shell-shocked, but when she managed to close the surprised 'Oh' face her mouth had fallen into, her nod gave Aiko the go-ahead. She'd thought that would be the answer by the light huffs Tenten was giving that washed across Aiko's chest with increasing speed and the clear eagerness written in her features, but had been kept from going any further up by the lack of outright permission.

Tenten's nose dropped back down onto her neck and she nuzzled for a moment before working at the sensitive skin with her teeth. Aiko didn't wait a second longer, stilling her right hand in between delicately shaking shoulderblades and letting her left brush slowwwly up over what had to be Tenten's bra.

'Huh. Surprisingly nice-feeling fabric. I guess I thought she seemed like a sports-bra kinda girl,' she noted absently, entranced by just how soft the material was. When she finally reached the skin at the top of the cup, Tenten made a soft 'Uh!' sound and pressed herself slightly against Aiko's palm, apparently forgetting that she'd been working on giving Aiko a hickey, just panting against her collarbones now.

She'd been wrong to call the bra soft—Tenten's skin was much silkier. It wasn't a shock, precisely. Her own breasts probably felt similar, but someone else's were just so much more interesting to knead. At that point, Tenten finally made a sound that was about as embarrassing as the one Aiko had made earlier. Something strange surged in her abdomen at the needy vocal demand, hot and heavy. She swallowed, hard, suddenly wondering how far they should really be going in a park at night after their first date, and pulled back regretfully. For the first time, Aiko noticed that she was panting too, and her heartrate was far higher than it normally was even after a warmup.

"Wh-whoa," Tenten panted, straightening her right arm and lifting her head to make eye contact. Apparently she'd collapsed to her elbow at some point. She looked just as giddy as Aiko felt. "This is more fun than I expected."

"Go away," Tsunade downright growled at the knock on her door. "Office hours are over!" That should have been obvious, really. Keiko had gone home, and the janitor was vacuuming the entry way.

Despite the fact that she had most definitely not said a cheerful 'come in,' the door swung open and Aiko flounced up with a downright creepy smile, perched on her desk for a moment, and then leaned in for a hug. The cold little arms flung around her neck slipped slightly down sideways across part of her suddenly-stiff shoulders, and Aiko pressed a closed kiss against her Kage's cheek with a happy nuzzle.

Tsunade sputtered, taken aback. She'd just about managed to re-calibrate for the bizarre situation (it was a large leap from taxes) when Aiko chirped, "Thank you for your advice, Tsunade-hime!" and then practically skipped back out.

She stared at the door that hung slightly open. "What the hell just happened?" she wondered aloud.

ANBU Cat shrugged in answer, despite the fact that he wasn't visible at the moment. That had been weird. Was Aiko ill or something?

"What the hell happened?" Kakashi muttered in frustration, fisting a handful of hair and tugging lightly. Scanning the documents for any relevant terms like 'Uzumaki,' 'Aiko,' 'Naruto,' 'Twins' or 'Minato' had taken a stupidly long time, even with the aid of the Sharingan's skill in detecting patterns.

The story that the brief mentions and glaring exclusions told was a strange one. He'd think he would have remembered the incident mentioned of the Kyuubi managing to force some active chakra out of Naruto's seal—he must have been out of the village. Kakashi would never forget the taste of that chakra. Even with that explanation, it seemed odd that the off-hand and mildly depressed mentions of incidents of unfriendly behavior directed at the twins over the years had escaped his notice. It wasn't like he had followed them around or anything, but a child who didn't understand why strangers were hostile would have had a hard time avoiding drawing attention. Naruto, in particular, didn't seem like the type to suffer discrimination in silence.

Bizarrely enough, it seemed that the twins had been declared competent to live alone at a frighteningly young age, with the minimal assistance of someone the Sandaime had hired to help them adjust to living on their own.

At first he was baffled- the orphan in shinobi training fund was nowhere near enough for the comfortable apartment he remembered them having when he'd first begun training Aiko, and he didn't know anything about the state of Minato or Kushina's finances. Eventually he pieced together that the Sandaime had actually been supplementing the twins' stipend out of his own accounts, which made a bit more sense.

It was probably part of his way of dealing with his guilt for being unable to care for them himself—all of the reports seemed to have been conveyed via ANBU and not his own observations. Kakashi could hardly blame the man for that. He'd done the same thing for years—avoiding the reminders of his sensei to avoid the worst of the pain.

The Sandaime noted personality quirks developing in the twins that Kakashi had noted himself, which was mildly amusing. Naruto had already been so naughty and playfully loud at age five? The confirmation that Aiko had taken on the responsibility of keeping him in line and the apartment managed at about the same time ached a little, but backed up Aiko's claim that she'd practically raised her brother.

That she had even managed such a feat was astonishing. Kakashi had technically been on his own at a similar age, but he had the structure Minato provided, along with care from some of his father's friends who had not been willing to leave his child alone even when he wanted to be. And Kakashi hadn't been responsible for the care of another human being, either. A child of that age simply shouldn't be equipped to be the caretaker for another child. Kakashi wasn't entirely sure he'd trust himself with such a task now, and he was a grown man.

And that was strange, wasn't it? That one twin was so much more advanced than the other? He'd thought her maturity had been a much later development, but from the sounds of the brief notations of ANBU reports that Hiruzen had apparently found too painful to make for himself, her basic temperament had been established at a frightfully young age.

There seemed to be a bit of a turning point in the notes where the twins were mentioned at about age six, when the Sandaime met them for the first time. Kakashi had to wince at just how tired and depressed Hiruzen had sounded when he wrote about the encounter. Apparently, Naruto had been scarily vulnerable to emotional manipulation from even the most cursory of kindness, a state that had undoubtedly come about because even casual kindness was rare for him.

But it was Aiko who had just about broken Hiruzen's heart with her obvious hostility and attempts to protect Naruto from him. That had to have hurt. Apparently, he'd accepted it as due punishment for failing the twins and their parents (and doubtlessly any number of accumulated guilts) and just did his best to not react to it.

It was rather tragic that Aiko had apparently distrusted a man her parents had trusted implicitly, someone who really did care about the twins even though he was overwhelmed by work and grief. But the Sandaime had seemed to find the silver lining that Aiko was fiercely loyal to and protective of her baby brother.

As the notes went on from book to book, it became clear that Hiruzen had grown to be very fond of Naruto, but it was Aiko who concerned him most at times. The longest excerpt solely about the twins finally gave the last clue—Hiruzen was trying to help her avoid the rapid acceleration and burnout that prodigies often underwent.

'I'm afraid that allowing Aiko early entry into the Academy was a mistake. Luckily, I trust Umino to keep what he has told me in confidence, but the girl doesn't seem to be aware of how unusual her intelligence is. I fear that she could become a poster child against my policy against early graduation if her advanced state becomes clear, but she is simply too young to enter the active forces. I cannot allow it in good conscience, not in a time of peace. Umino has kindly found ways to keep Aiko occupied without entering her into the taijutsu classes, which will hopefully help her avoid excess politicking and notice, using the pretext that she and Naruto are too young to be trained and then unsupervised. No one could seriously argue for the instatement of a genin with no formal taijutsu training. Unfortunately that means poor Naruto must wait another year as well, but I have every confidence that he will succeed nonetheless…'

He didn't allow himself to be bitter that no one had been able to save him from taking on dangerous missions early, or surprised that Aiko had come to him with so little time to learn the actual combat skills. 'Although that does explain why they were lackluster,' he noted dully. She'd improved rapidly with only minimal direction, so it hadn't been lack of talent or work ethic.

'Well, she wasn't exaggerating. I suppose that means I definitely owe her an apology.' Kakashi sighed, neatly closing the book on the table and slumping over. It was positively bizarre to realize that someone he'd thought of as a child until very recently had actually been so mature from an unbelievably young age.

'There's no point in procrastinating any longer.' Kakashi slipped the last books back into the boxes they'd come in and tugged on his sandals, not bothering to lock his door behind him. He had finished Aiko's jutsu the day they had gotten back, aided by proper facilities and the fact that he wasn't hiding jutsu development from understandably paranoid Sand nin. That had been the day before yesterday, but he'd spent almost two full days piecing through those notes for relevant information.

He hadn't been to her home since she had moved, but Kakashi kept track of his students enough that he readily knew where Aiko's home could be found. It wasn't a bad little place, even if it seemed a bit big for a few teenagers. The judgement may not have been a fair one. After all, his family home was three times that size (and hideously expensive to keep in good repair), but he lived in the same tiny apartment he'd gotten at age six or so when it became clear he couldn't stand to live where his father had died. Most people probably used more space than he did, that was all. Privately, he thought that if he lived with two teenage girls, he'd need a house ten times that size.

Aiko was in a strangely good mood when she answered the door, a fact that set a good tone for the upcoming conversation. Perhaps having a chance to spend some time apart had helped defuse the lingering anger she'd apparently had during their deployment. He eye-smiled, tucking a hand into his pocket. "Hello, Aiko-chan. I was hoping to have a talk with you tonight."

'Ah, there's the hesitation I expected,' he thought a bit glumly when she bit at her lower lip and carefully maintained much more distance between them than she used to. Nonetheless she agreed, even if she did try to invite him in. He held up his hands, radiating positivity to outweigh the potential slight. "I'd rather meet you at training ground seven. I'll see you there!" With that, he fled.

Alright, so the plan had been to walk with her so that she knew he wouldn't be late and he could just get this over with, but he'd scuppered that idea when it became clear that she seemed uncomfortable in his presence. It would be counter-productive to exacerbate the situation by putting her on edge before he even had a chance to show her what he'd made for her.

'Sen tsurara', one thousand icicles, didn't have quite the same feel to it as his chidori did or even work in the way he'd originally intended, but he was still pleased with it nonetheless.

"Well, that was fucking weird," Aiko mumbled, blinking at the empty place where her shishou had been until a moment ago. She hadn't expected him to seek her out, but it was probably for the best. Now that she'd calmed down and had her catharthic talk with Tsunade-sama, she had decided it would probably be for the best to be the bigger person and apologize for losing her temper with Kakashi. It wasn't really that his suggestion of the Rasengan had been a terrible idea. If he brought it up again, she would take the instruction gladly.

She took her time getting ready to go. He probably wouldn't be there for hours anyway, even though it was unusual that he'd go to her home to get her and then not bother to accompany her.

'Maybe something's gone wrong,' she realized suddenly, deciding that she could put away what she had been doing later after all.

The hostility was overwhelming as soon as he entered the meeting room, and Itachi involuntarily wondered if this would be the time that Madara finally ended their cat-and-mouse game by killing him. He didn't allow himself to pause in the door or react openly, instead taking his usual seat. After a moment, it became clear that Madara's bad mood wasn't directed at him. He couldn't quite bring himself to be relieved. Today was the day he had to explain why he'd let Sasuke's inappropriate career choice slide for so long—almost two months.

His answer would probably satisfy Madara, but Itachi wasn't pleased himself. He had discarded idea after idea as to how he could force Sasuke to change his mind for his own good, hardening his heart to his own pride and desire to just let the boy be. Sasuke still had a role to play, no matter how odious the necessity was.

That theory didn't satisfy Itachi himself, largely because he suspected that Sasuke could gain the power he needed even by going down such an untraditional path. Itachi had known from a young age that Sasuke possessed the ability to surpass him, even if his genius was less flashy than Itachi's own.

His own reluctance was probably why it had been so difficult to settle on an appropriate course of action—applying the absolute minimum amount of force and trauma to set Sasuke on the right path whilst simultaneously being cruel enough to satisfy Madara's sadism and convince the man that Itachi held no attachment to his otouto.

"I have come to a decision on how best to cope with Sasuke's disobedience."

Obito felt his lips twist into an animalistic sneer against the cool, hard surface of his mask, for once feeling irritated instead of amused by Itachi-kun. Usually it was enjoyable to see the boy attempt to outsmart him while pretending to bow his head in obedience and respect. He'd certainly never thought that a child who represented the best the Uchiha had to offer, the eldest son of that goddamn prick Fugaku no less (the moron who had banished him from the compound before his eyes manifested), would kowtow to him. The irony was delicious.

But not today.

He had been having such fun with his new toys. Sound had needed to be punished—everyone would eventually be punished, but Sound wasn't important enough that they needed to live to witness his glorious revolution. The fact that Hatake-damned-Kakashi had been the one to end his game early by taking out his puppet was infuriating.

Seeing the monster who had murdered Rin (even indirectly through the eyes of that stupid Yakushi boy) had dredged up anger that Obito had barely buried in a shallow grave. What was worse was that the asshole was as smug as he had ever been. Did he even care about what he'd done?

Uninterested in pretending he didn't know that Itachi wished for his death and pined pathetically for his useless little brother's love, Obito turned his face away. "I don't care what you do with the whelp," he growled.

No, Hatake obviously didn't care. He'd even replaced his old team. If Obito could go back and direct Yakushi through the encounter again now that he knew Yakushi was too useless to finish off Hatake even with his guidance, he would have gone for the snot-nosed little brat who had simpered for 'Kakashi-shishou'. The very thought of someone looking up to Hatake filled him with unspeakable rage. How dare that fucking idiot try to keep Hatake from the messy end he deserved? Didn't she know what he'd done to his first team, his real team? Didn't Konoha know what Hatake had done?

'That's why it needs to be changed,' the remnant of Madara's influence in his mind whispered raspily. Obito shook his head to dislodge the thought, uncaring that Itachi's eyes narrowed at the strange movement. He knew that already, he didn't need to be told. 'Konoha is weak and corrupt.' Yes, of course it was.

"Get out!" he bellowed, suddenly sick of Itachi's face. He was sick of all of them, sick of keeping one of Konoha's vipers to his chest no matter how ineffective the boy was.

'Calm yourself,' Madara's voice said, 'He still has a part to play. Isn't it better to get all the use you can out of Konoha's tool?'

Obito had to smile at that thought, not minding the by-now familiar sensation of ruined skin pulling stiffly at the expression. Yes, that was better.

kakaeken date nights consist of us watching the worst rated movies on rotten tomatoes and seeing how Kakashi reacts every time fkdkdksks dogs on our lap snuggled on the couch usually I never stop talking. or can u imagine taking a pottery class together???? we all get our own wheel and clay but end up helping each other anyway :(((((

also if That Man ever uttered a word besides “kae is absolutely lovely and I adore her because you do sunshine” he’d be in for a really rough time so he better mind his business

oh my god yes—we’re a huge pile of limbs and fur on our too-small (but very comfy) couch. you and i have a whole side commentary going on while kakashi hardly pays attention to the movie, and just listens to us chatter away the whole time :’-) pottery class starts out a little competitive, but we all have no clue what we’re doing, so we have to help one another with the parts we’re individually good at. we come home with wonky coordinating mugs, but we still drink coffee out of them every morning.

i will tolerate That Man for you and i may even start to like him when i see him treating you well... but i’m a little prickly around him at first because i’m protective; i have claws and teeth and he better not mistreat my wife, otherwise the ninken and i will show him why we’re a force to be reckoned with!!!

#kendall i love you this is so precious ugh my heart #everyone look away—strawdimples is being sappy on the dash!#one of my toxic traits is that i love to make commentary while i watch movies #if you’re with me i’m your personal colorful commentator #kakaeken #༄ kae’s mailbox #༄ kae’s keepsakes

This.

This is exactly what I think whenever someone implies that Kakashi is stingy.

He isn't. Sure, he has an adorable way of making his kōhai pay for ramen, but I genuinely feel that he's able to do so solely because he's comfortable being himself around Yamato. I'm also quite sure that he never fails to pay him back later on, in cash or kind, because that's just the kind of person he is.

The evidence Samaa pulled up is 100% accurate. Kakashi is someone who dresses up his ninken in matching costumes with personalised accessories. Someone with THAT much attention to detail when it comes to things related to him isn't likely a penny-pincher at all. What's more, it's canon that he never hesitates to take his team out for ramen, and given how much Naruto eats, I'm sure Kakashi knows exactly what he's getting into when he treats them.

I would describe Kakashi as a cautious spender most of the time. He's careful with his finances and given how much he earns, he prefers not to splurge and proceeds to lead a life of simplicity. However, when it comes to his loved ones (sometimes himself too, but it's rarer) he would never hesitate to spend because that's one of his love languages. He was a child that was forced to grow up too fast, and some time or the other, you can see glimpses of that child resurfacing in him whenever he does sth seemingly stupid with his money. I'm sure the money doesn't matter to him all that much, but the memories do.

#kakashi's only bad husband trait is that he wouldn't pay for meals so i hope you're loaded af @naijajanai I hope you don't mind me replying to this in a separate post if you mind please let me know

but I thought a lot about this and I think it deserves it's own post, anyway this is kinda popular fanon that Kakashi is stingy and would never pay for meals that came from this one scene when Kakashi tricked Yamato to pay the bill, but that was only one scene and he only did this in a playful kinda way to prove to Naruto that he can sweet talk anyone not because he actually wanted to have a free meal and at the same time we also have scenes like this of Kakashi buying veggies for Naruto

And that time Naruto wrote a letter to Santa asking for a year supply of ramen so Kakashi filled Naruto's apartment with veggies 😂

THAT amount of veggies can't be cheap. And we also have the fact that he actually buys gifts for Naruto as well

These are all from the manga so they are 100% canon, there's also this scene from the novels and the anime, when Kakashi cooked his own ramen and then paid for it without anyone realizing it, so I don't think Kakashi is stingy, when this fanon is based on only one scene Kakashi did purely for fun while we have a lot more scenes of him not minding at all spending money on Naruto or himself

#added my thoughts because #i dunno why i added them 😭#i hope this makes sense #kakashi

I Need You (Kakashi x Reader Smut)

A/n: Oh boy do I got some smutty smut for you. This is my first time writing smut and I think I did okay! Please let me know what you think and, as always, feel free to send some requests my way! 🤍

Summary: You find yourself unbelievably horny waiting for Kakashi to get home from work. The night goes exactly as planned.

Word Count: 4200

Warnings: NSFW ( minors, there's the door -> 🚪), fem!reader, vaginal sex, rough sex, doggy style, cunnilingus

Gods, why am I so horny?

Sat in the reading chair in the corner of your and Kakashi’s bedroom, you find yourself unable to focus on the new novel you picked up at the bookstore this morning. Each time you try to focus on the words in front of you, your eyes start to drift off the page and fall on your bed across the room. The bed where Kakashi and you have had sex now maybe a dozen times. You two have been platonic partners for years, but it wasn’t until recently where you both allowed your feelings to blossom into romance. Some would say that your relationship with Kakashi came on fast, but those who say that don’t truly know either of you.

After the war, and after keeping your feelings for each other bottled down for years, Kakashi took you on a vacation to a quaint village on the outskirts of Konoha. During your stay, you two could finally relax and find comfort in each other. The future seemed less uncertain, and you allowed yourself to open up in ways you never had before. You both knew you loved each other, that you were meant for each other, but the stress of war and the lack of knowledge that either of you would come out alive prevented anything from happening. The last thing either of you wanted to do was take the other’s heart six feet under.

It was the third night on the trip when he proposed to you. Kakashi and you were naked together in the natural hot spring, embracing each other in the water. The words he spoke to you that night are etched in your brain, never to be forgotten.

“My whole life I’ve been fighting; fighting for Konoha, fighting for my team, fighting for our friends, fighting my demons, fighting the truth, and fighting the feelings I have for you. I never understood why it was so hard to escape you, but it isn’t until now where I finally understand. Loving you is the easiest thing I’ve ever had to do. Our love is so natural, so pure. It pains me to know that our reality has muddled it for so long. You are the best thing that’s ever come into my life, and the gods only know how thankful I am that you have been by my side through it all. Everything I’ve ever gone through, every challenge I’ve had to overcome, you’ve guided me along the way. I used to think I was undeserving of your love, but now that we both are standing here, bruised and battered by our past, I realize that it was always supposed to be this way. You and me. Forever.”

That was the night you and Kakashi shared your first kiss. The night you first held each other in a naked embrace. The night you touched the skin normally concealed under each other's clothes. The night you trailed kisses down his chest, to his stomach, his hip, and up his shaft. The night you grabbed him in your hand and stroked him while looking into his eyes. The night you felt his tongue draw across your nipples. The night you felt him suck and nibble at your neck. The night you felt his fingers, god his fingers, trace up your wet heat to rub onto your most sensitive spot. The night he held onto your hip and slid into your tenderness. The night you whispered sweet nothings in each other's ears while he pumped into you. The night you made love, four times.

It’s been a week since your mini-vacation of ultimate bliss. Immediately after arriving back to the village, you both moved out of your individual apartments and moved into the Hatake estate, per Kakashi’s request. When you asked him if this is truly what he wanted, he assured you that this was the place he wanted to make a home with you and your future children. He also liked that the estate is largely removed from the Hokage tower, where he will be spending the majority of his time in the future. Renovations are far from over, but your bedroom was the first area of the house to be set up. It’s your shared sanctuary, and to be completely honest, you’ve never felt more at home.

The only word to describe this week between you and Kakashi is passionate. Even with opposite schedules, you both make time for one another every day. You’ve been insanely busy at your new job that you acquired post-war, spearheading the mental health resource center for war veterans and shinobi still in active duty. Kakashi is busy shadowing Tsunade while she sorts out post-war rehabilitation plans for the village. This is your first day off and, unfortunately, Kakashi is out doing future Hokage duties. Though frustrating, both of you are super understanding of each other's roles in this village and you respect that time with each other may be limited in the coming years. That’s why any chance you get, you both check in on each other throughout your day. Whether it’s offering to take his ninken on a walk while he’s in the office, or him bringing you breakfast when you get to work, you find opportunities to be present in each other’s daily lives.

The evenings, however, are a whole other story. Both of you are usually home a little after eight, and you’ve adapted to having late dinners with each other. After cleaning up, the rest of the evening is spent wrapped up in each other. One thing you weren’t expecting about being with Kakashi is that he is constantly touching you when you are alone together. His hands are either on your thighs, wrapped in your hair, caressing your face, squeezing your arms, massaging your shoulders, touching your lips, or any other way he can get them on you. You crave his touch, so to say that you enjoy this side of him is an understatement. Not only does Kakashi adore touching you, he also adores being touched.

Touching leads to caressing, caressing leads to groping, and groping leads to passionate lovemaking.

Well, geez (y/n), maybe if you stopped daydreaming about Kakashi’s hands all over you then you wouldn’t be this goddamn horny.

Here’s the thing with you and Kakashi’s newfound sex life. You are in the early stages. All the sex you have is all about romance, making up for the lost time, and finally expressing your feelings with your body. It’s amazing and you wouldn’t change your lovemaking for the world.

But right now, you don’t desire lovemaking. You desire rough, animalistic, dirty, dirty sex.

The kind of sex that makes you shudder in desire and fear.

The kind of sex that makes in between your legs sore the next day.

Realizing you’ve been daydreaming for the past fifteen minutes, you close your novel shut and toss it aside. You look over at the clock on your nightstand to find that it’s almost time for Kakashi to be home. Usually, you would already be cooking something up for dinner, but you have a feeling that any food you make would just get cold. Eating is not your priority right now, Kakashi is.

A devious smile forms at your lips when you consider what you plan on doing with him when he walks through the front door. Should you take him right there? Get down on your knees and beg for him? Run a warm, candle-lit bath? Put whip cream on your tits and tell him that you’re his dinner? All great options, but none are really representative of how much you need him.

In one swift movement, you are up off your chair and running towards your closet. He could be here any minute and there’s no time to waste. Once there, you take in how disorganized your closet is. You have yet to unpack any of your clothes, as all you’ve worn the past week is your jonin uniform and your pajamas. Rummaging through the boxes sprawled out on the floor, you finally find which box you are looking for. The box looks like any other box, but written on the side in marker is the word intimates.

Bingo.

One might think you are a sex fiend with all the lingerie you own, but that is far from reality. The truth is, lingerie has always made you feel sexy. Most of all, it’s just so pretty. You love the power it gives you. You love the fact that no one knows that some days you are wearing the world’s skimpiest lingerie underneath your uniform. It’s like you have an edge on someone that they don't even realize. Also, when you did happen to end up in bed with a man, you were over-prepared. The look on their faces when you stripped off your clothes was priceless. It was your way of telling them that you expected them to want you.

There are way too many options to choose from, and you find yourself starting to panic as time passes on. You know you’re overthinking this as, honestly, Kakashi would love anything you put on. Some things you know about Kakashi are that his favorite color is blue, he loves your thighs and is obsessed with how soft your skin is. Therefore, you should obviously go for the baby blue lace and silk set. It includes a lace balconette bra, a thong connected to thigh garters, and a silk robe to go over the top. After putting it on and taking a look at yourself in the mirror, you knew you made the right choice.

Before finding a comfortable spot on the bed, you quickly grab some baby oil and rub it all over your body. The oil will allow Kakashi to slide his hands all over you effortlessly, which is exactly what you need. Satisfied, you grab your book and lay on top of your made bed. You weren’t planning on actually reading, but you think your casualness while wearing such a sexy outfit will have Kakashi’s head spinning.

So there you were, belly down, ass out, feet intertwined, book in hand, when you heard the lock click and the front door open. Perfect timing.

You could hear Kakashi kick off his shoes and take off his vest as he walked into your home. Usually, you would be standing in the kitchen where he would come and give you a warm embrace and kiss you until you told him that he has to eat dinner. But, you're not there, and you can sense his confusion.

“Where’s my babygirl?” Kakashi’s voice projects throughout the house, a hint of concern in his voice. You smile at the thought of the pout that’s probably on his face right now.

“Sorry sweetheart, I’ve been caught up in my new book. I’m in the bedroom,” you call back to him.

You hear what sounds like a sigh of relief as his footsteps make their way down your hallway in the direction of your bedroom, the sounds of pieces of his uniform dropping off of him every few steps. You make sure to keep your head turned to the door so you can take in his reaction to your state.

“Oh, the new book you got this morning? How is it? Let me guess, you already finished-”

An indescribable feeling shoots through your whole body as Kakashi enters your bedroom. He just finished pulling his mask down his face, as his hand is still caught to the fabric pooling around his neck. With a smile on your face, you soak in his expression as he’s stood in the entrance of your room, a deep blush forming on his cheeks and his mouth still agape in mid-sentence. His eyes dart back and forth from your face to the bottom of your ass that’s hanging out of your silk robe.

Damn, you really did that (y/n).

“What’s wrong, Kashi?” You say in the most innocent voice you can muster. You bat your eyelashes and flip over to sit up so he can get a good look at you. You let your book drop off the bed and land on the floor.

There’s another pause before Kakashi slowly walks towards you on the bed. Without speaking, he reaches a hand out to you. You take it and he pulls you up so you're kneeling on the bed as he stands in front of you. His dark eyes bore into yours as both of his hands drop to your thighs. Slowly, he grazes them up over your hips, your waist, up the sides of your breasts, to wrap around the back of your neck. You can feel the hairs on your skin stand in anticipation. With his hands still wrapped around you, he brings his head down to you and grazes his mouth on your jawline. From there he plants small kisses up the side of your face until he reaches your ear where he nibbles before speaking to you in a strained, low tone.

“You’re a very dangerous woman, (y/n).”

He must have felt you shudder because you could feel him smile against your cheek. Standing up straight again, Kakashi’s hands drop to the tie of your robe around your waist.

“May I?” he asks, giving you the sexiest look you’ve ever seen. Kakashi has been so effortlessly attractive since you met when you were young. Having these intimate moments with him almost seems surreal.

“Of course, Hatake,” you smile up at him.

Taking the tie in his hands, he starts to unravel the knot keeping your robe together. Once loose, he lets it fall over your shoulders and off your body completely.

After a few moments taking in the sight of you, Kakashi lets out a deep sigh and shakes his head.

“You’re so out of my league,” he confesses to you.

You let out a small giggle.

“Absolutely not,” you protest.

Without missing a beat, Kakashi grabs on to you and tosses you back on the bed so you are laying down underneath him. One of his hands wraps around the back of your head while the other cups your breast. Pulling the fabric of your bra down, he kneads your nipple between his thumb and pointer finger. One of his knees lands in between your legs and he brings it up to press on to you. You can’t help the moan that escapes as you feel him all around you.

“So what’s the deal?” Kakashi teases. “I leave you alone in the house for one day and I come back to this?” He looks down at your body and back up again. “Where did you get this outfit, hm?”

“Oh baby,” you start teasing him back, “I guess one thing you don’t know about me yet is that I wear lingerie like this all the time.”

“Oh really?” he questions.

“Yep, all the time.” You smirk at what you’re about to say next. “Actually, remember that one time we were stationed together in the Earth country for a month for that S-rank assassination mission?”

Kakashi nods, confused where you’re going with this story.

“We let our guards down and almost hooked up the last night before we came back to the village.”

“I remember.”

“Well,” you pause for effect, “guess what I was wearing underneath my uniform that night?”

Kakashi remains silent, brows furrowed waiting for you. You smile at him deviously as you say your answer.

“This.”

Kakashi lets out what can only be described as an aroused, defeated groan when you utter your confession. He quickly comes back down and your mouths crash together in a heated frenzy. It isn’t until now when you realize that his bulge is hard against your leg, asking to be broken free from the confinement of his pants. While making out, you reach down and slip your hand under his waistband and grab onto his throbbing cock, stroking it in your hand. Although rock hard, the skin of his cock is soft and velvety.

Kakashi moans in your mouth when you make contact with him, but quickly escapes your grasp and gets up off of you. Sprawled out on the bed, you watch him strip down naked in front of you, starting with his shirt, then his pants and briefs. His body is truly something to marvel at, as decades of being a ninja have carved his body into perfection. You love the way his member slaps against his lower stomach when he pulls it from its confinement, excited and eager for you. He stands for a moment, contemplating what to do with you.

“I don’t want to take that pretty outfit off of you just yet. I guess I’ll just have to work around it for now,” Kakashi says as he stands at the end of the bed. Grabbing your ankles, he pulls you towards him and bends your legs upward until your knees meet your chest. Holding both of your legs up with one hand, he takes the other and spanks your ass cheek with a loud slap. You whimper from the sting while he rubs the mark he left. Kakashi sucks in another loud breath.

“Ugh, (y/n), you look so good for me.”

Before you can respond, Kakashi takes your thong and slides it over so you are exposed to him. Getting down on his knees, he brings his face to your glistening cunt and flattens his tongue against it. There he gives you one long lick up your slit to taste you. A moan erupts from him as your wetness meets his taste buds.

“You’re already so wet for me baby,” Kakashi breathes before going in to suck on you.

“I’ve been thinking about you all day,” you confess through your moans. “I only get this wet for you.”

“That’s because you're mine and mine only.”

Kakashi takes his time with you, almost as if this is his last meal on earth and he wants to savor it. He’s delicate in some moments and fierce in others. Incorporating his fingers, he slides them into you and curves them up to hit your g-spot repeatedly while eating you. Your hand instinctively cradles his face while the other intertwines with his silver locks. You start to feel tightness in your lower stomach as he brings you close to climax. The sound of his moans muffled inside you is enough to send you over the edge.

“Kakashi, baby, I’m gonna-”

“Come for me, baby,” Kakashi nods, giving you permission to let go.

Letting go of Kakashi, you grip onto the sheets around you, feeling the tightness build and drop out of you. Closing your eyes, the waves of ecstasy ripple throughout your body causing you to scream out in pleasure. Riding with you, Kakashi slowly continues to work you through your climax, cleaning up whatever juices spill over.

“Good girl,” He says to you while bringing your legs back down onto the bed. Slowly, he kisses up your thighs while hooking onto your thong, bringing it down off of them. While he does this, you reach around and unclasp your bra, throwing it aside. Once the thong is thrown aside as well, Kakashi lifts himself off the floor and flips you over so you're laying on your stomach, another smack landing on your ass cheek. The high from your orgasm is immediately replaced with anticipation for what he plans on doing to you next.

You feel Kakashi’s naked body slide on top of you until he's flush against your skin, his body completely enveloping yours. Once his face is level with yours, and his cock is hard against your backside, he brushes your hair away from your face.

“Are you ready for me?” Kakashi whispers into your ear.

You nod into the mattress, chest rising and falling with every strained breath.

“You need to use your words, (y/n),” Kakashi scolds you while tucking your hair behind your ear.

“I need you, Kakashi. Please, I need you.” Your words come out as a plea, not being able to take his absence any longer.

You feel Kakashi’s weight lift off of you as he reaches around your waist and lifts it up so your ass is tilted upwards. From there you can feel him position his tip at your entrance, slowly rubbing it up and down to spread your wetness.

“Please, Kashi, I need your cock inside me,” you beg.

Without further hesitation, you feel every inch of him slide into your folds until he’s bottomed out inside you. The feeling of him deep within you sends you into euphoria and you can feel yourself tighten around him.

“Fuck, you feel so good,” Kakashi whispers.

Starting off slow, he pumps into you with control. You feel pleasure and pain as Kakashi kisses your neck while grabbing onto your hair. After each thrust you feel him going faster and harder, your bodies smacking against each other. To gain more leverage, he lifts off of you and brings you up onto your hands and knees. With his hand gripping your shoulder, he pumps into you with ferocity.

“For years I’ve touched myself thinking about getting to fuck you like this baby. You’re so beautiful and so good to me. Everything about your body draws me to you,” Kakashi says in between moans. You feel him start to twitch inside you, his thrusts getting more out of control. You look over your shoulder and meet his gaze.

“We deserve this baby. You deserve this. Give me everything.” You both know your words mean more than just sex, and Kakashi relishes them.

Lifting you up by your neck, Kakashi brings you toward him so you're both kneeling while he continues thrusting inside of you. He brings one hand around your front to circle your clit and the other cups your breast. Your hands lift up behind you to grab onto his face. Turning your head to him, you kiss him with every ounce of passion you have left. This new position is hitting you at your core and you can feel yourself tighten again. Kakashi must have felt it too, as he broke free from your mouth to tilt his head back in pleasure. Without exchanging words, you know you both are at your limit.

With a few last staggering thrusts, both of you reach climax in unison. Feeling yourself go limp, Kakashi wraps his arms around you to keep you steady. You feel streams of his hot semen pool inside of your contracting walls. With Kakashi’s moans singing in your ear, you can’t help but smirk at his vulnerability. With him still inside, you hold onto each other, trying to catch your breaths. After a few beats, you both begin to laugh at your exasperated states.

“Stay here, I’m going to get a towel,” Kakashi says while shifting out of you. After pulling a towel from the cupboard in your bathroom, Kakashi brings it to you and cleans up between your legs. Before you have time to move, Kakashi picks you up bridal style and spins you around in his arms.

You scream and start to laugh as he plants kisses all over your face. “Kakashi!”

“Hm?” he hums in your ear, pretending he didn’t just lift you with little to no effort.

Holding you up with one arm, he grabs a blanket off the bed and carries you to the chair in the corner of your room. There he sits down and places you sideways on his lap so you’re facing each other. He then takes the blanket and wraps it around you both so you can stay warm while cuddling each other. Kakashi has always had a knack for knowing exactly what you want at any given moment.

“I thought we could get some inspiration for our next round,” Kakashi says with a smirk as he pulls out a copy of Icha Icha Tactics from underneath the cushion.

“What? How did that get there?” you laugh.

“Oh, I have multiple copies of these everywhere,” he jokes, waving the book in the air.

You laugh and lightly hit his chest. Tucking the blanket up closer to your face, you lay your head down on Kakashi’s shoulder while he flips open to a page in the book.

Before he starts to read to you, Kakashi lifts your chin to kiss you. Every time your lips touch his, flashes of your joint past enters your mind. Although it was hard, and you faced many difficult trials on the way, you are forever thankful that you were both able to live long enough to experience these moments. You took care of each other, lifted each other up when they were in the dirt, and now you can finally share the love you’ve always held for each other. You wouldn’t change any of it. After your kiss, before pulling away from you, Kakashi looks deep into your eyes.

“I love you, (y/n).”

You smile up at him, tears brimming in your eyes.

“I love you too, Kakashi. Forever.”

A/n cont.: Well, whattdaya think? :)

Note

Punishment for temari, nastu, erza, and kakashi

Sure.

Tw: Yandere themes, unhealthy mindset, unhealthy relationship, possessiveness, obsessiveness, delusions, strict behavior, kidnapping, isolation, manipulation

Yandere Alphabet

Kakashi Hatake

Punishment-How do they punish their darling?

📖Kakashi is more of a reasonable person so punishments wouldn't be something he would be very keen on using which doesn't mean he won't do it if it is needed. Kakashi just has more patience and is a fairly aware Yandere to have so he always tries to solve things normally, though he can turn more demanding and strict if the s/o proves to be the stubborn kind. I would like to say that locking away would be a punishment, though at one point his paranoia gets the better of him and he locks you permanently away and only let you have his ninken as company. But if there is a chance he would at one point let you out again, this small freedom will be taken away and he can honestly be like a parent with a happy child as well since he'll take things away from you that you like and can hit time faster dead.

📖I would say he has also a more kind of indirect way of punishing you in the sense that he will manipulate situations to prove that he knows better and you should listen more to him instead of arguing with him. Might not sound that bad, but constantly getting into situations where you realize that listening to Kakashi would have proved to be helpful makes you with time more doubtful of your own decisions and whilst Kakashi is thoughtful to not sprinkle salt in your wounds, somehow he will scold you afterwards. Kakashi just is that smart and no one will really suspect something as well.

Temari

Punishment-How do they punish their darling?

🌪️Temari is more of a Tsundere kind of person so her darling somewhat runs risk of getting a harsh scolding from her side the moment they happen to have a heated verbal fight and that girl has a fire inside of her and she'll spit it out the moment she loses her composure for a short moment as well. So this is somewhat one way of punishing you for her, she hurts you with words when she starts seeing red. It isn't like Temari doesn't feel sorry for it afterwards, she never really means what she says since she really loves her darling a lot and mostly apologizes afterwards.

🌪️But if there is a time she really needs to make use of her more vicious language, she will do it through gritted teeth. Words can hurt more than you think when they come from someone that you love and she might also start acting more cold. Similar to Kakashi she isn't all that into doing such things since she wants a normal relationship, but she is on the slightly more impulsive side. Has no qualms about trapping you in her apartment as well when she's had enough. Whether she would use her younger brother and his position or not, I think it is unlikely since her siblings mean a lot to her. She isn't into abusing power and influence she has that directly against her darling.

Natsu Dragneel

Punishment-How do they punish their darling?

🔥You see, I have a hard time trying to figure out how Natsu could possibly ever do something against his darling. On a scale from one to ten to how dangerous and violent he could really be to his darling he is a burning and big zero. He is neither manipulative nor is he violent, he is a far more childish and clingy person over anything else. It mainly roots from his delusions that he is this way to be honest, even if he gets rejected by his darling countless times or realizes that they seem to like someone else, he never really takes it in a really bad way. It's because he is such a delusional Yandere so he never really gets discouraged by this all.

🔥So it is somewhat hard to think of how he could ever possibly go against the s/o, even if he becomes desperate or, through a miracle, gets angry at them, his love and adoration dominates over everything. The thing that could be counted closest to a punishment with him is when he starts yelling at them which could be for some frightening. He doesn't mean to scare you of course, but he really can not grip his emotions once something has set him off and he can come over as more intimidating at such times. But that's honestly all. That and that he'll glue himself to your side like a leech.

Erza Scarlet

Punishment-How do they punish their darling?

🛡️This woman gives probably at first the impression that she would be very ready to teach you better when you go against her, but she has under her armor a heart made out of gold hidden and she is a lucid Yandere who loves and respects her darling on top of that. Erza means in all ways really only the best for her darling and could never bring herself to hurt them physically (no one of the people here would). The S-Class mage still has her stern side in her and such things are exposed sometimes to you as well, most likely only in scenarios where things are about to go down the wrong way.

🛡️I mentioned it before, but Erza has some sort of trauma from everything that happened to her and even if she can even understand if the s/o goes against her more demanding wishes, most of the times she can still understand since she has some fellows who are just the same. So she is a bit difficult to figure out as well, but her punishments probably consist of scolding the s/o furiously and in a really worse situation where they got hurt, she will keep them trapped in their house and force them to stay and not do anything. She'll force herself afterwards for a while to be more strict and less excited and soft like she is normally.

Uchimaki baby Beniko really out here stealing your mans with her adorably lil pudgy fingers grasping into his flak jacket, all puppy-eyes of cute curiousity, huh?

$10 says Kakashi is just feral-parental replacement unit enough to growl when someone tries to take her away. It’s his goddaughter. Back off.

There’s pictures floating out there with a mask less Kakashi asleep one couch with an infant on his chest napping, a certain mask grasped in her hand. She has succeeded where many others could never dare.

Oh Beniko has him wrapped and I can’t even be mad because she’s perfect.

Kakashi getting low-key jealous if anyone else gets too much of her attention even though he’d rather take a gut wound than admit it. Gai or Yamato show up and even look in Beniko’s direction and Kakashi’s like “oh no I’ve accidentally summoned my entire pack of ninken, shame I’ve got no one to help me play with them”.

And Beniko? Oh no she loves her Kakashi. Good luck getting a picture of them napping cause that kid has ears like a fucking bat and will wake up and throw herself across Kakashi’s face to keep anyone from seeing him but her.

It’s adorable.

I submitted something similar to Ray for the team uzumaki au but now I’m hopping it was eaten by tumblr just so there isn’t a weird cross post double thing. BUT we’re talking foxy naruto so-

According to some people’s stories, foxes have been known to leave gifts for people much like crows (the sources are first hand accounts so idk if this is true or an accurate reflection of fox mannerisms). So I’m just picturing Naruto leaving pretty rocks, animal bones, buttons, weapons, etc for his team. But since it’s Naruto of course it’s not normal versions of those things. So the “shiny rocks” are probably literal crystals and diamonds that he somehow just finds (and normal ones too cuz that’s adorable ), the “animal bones” could include giant ass teeth that are big enough to be made into daggers/swords, the buttons could be like golden cuff links he nicked from on a mission, and the weapons could be anything from old ninja wire he found in a bush to like a legendary blade he found washed up on the shore (Uzushiogakure vibes who?).

As another foxy Naruto thing, I firmly believe he would have an inexplicable urge to feed his team all the time, but not just ramen or their personal favorite foods. He wants to give them food that’s part of a foxes diet. One day he just finds himself foraging for berries and hunting for fresh meat. But since he’s a whole lot bigger and more capable than a regular fox at hunting, his prey is a bit…larger than you’d expect. Later that day, he straight up drops a field dressed bear or something at team 7’s feet look Proud (tm) cuz oh yeah he is so good at keeping his teammates feed and kakashi (who I always head cannon as being both wolfy and entirely incapable of being truly surprised) is like thanks brat you mind if my ninken have some?

Tumblr do be eating things. But they would still be different enough even if Tumblr didn’t eat it.

Akkskshsb at first none of them (well two do them really) have no idea where all the little gifts are coming from. Sakura finds flowers and crystals and kunai lined up on her window sill every morning like clockwork. She pretends to be annoyed by it but she has the first flower, the first gift, pressed and preserved. Sasuke gets more weapons than anything else, but occasionally he’ll get a cool rock. His favorite that he will never admit is a red stone with black marks. It sits by his bed and makes him feel a little less alone.

Kakashi knows. Naruto isn’t the first Uzumaki he’s known. Not the first fox hissed in human skin. Kushina was the same way. The first gift, fresh meat on his counter, one large piece and several smaller ones cut for the ninken, isn’t so much of a surprise as it is a gut punch. A memory. It takes some getting used to, seeing them again. Being claimed. He’s not a kit anymore. Not Kushina’s grumpy little wolf cub, but her son has claimed him all the same.

(The meat tastes like guilt and, perhaps cruelly, hope)

I can see the providing thing being really prevalent when they’re out of the village on missions. Like the first night on their trip to wave Naruto just plonks down a fresh kill with a sharp smile and eyes glinting in the low light and Kakashi has to step in before one of the others could say something to discourage this. They always eat well when they’re out as a team.

(Naruto remembers what it’s like to be hungry. He’ll make sure his people don’t have to feel the same.)

yeeaaaaah I have no regrets.

Gai's part in this idea is from my friend and writing partner, but we do still have to actually... like, write it. xD

and that's just. Kakashi and his ninken.

I have a whole closed circle circus for the Uchiha and nekonin. and I am compelled to say that Madara's is the sweetest thing in the world, while Izuna's is known by Hashirama as "Izuna's demon cat" and strikes actual fear into the man. (she lives with Mada after Izu dies, and Hashi learns... quickly.)

(((she loves Yams though. she fucking adores him. I don't know or understand why, but I'm so okay with it.)))

YES. 100% body positive, focused only on genuine health and sportsmanship. someone tries to claim he's setting an impossible standard. he goes and gets a few random people on the street to join him for things at /their/ level. makes the point that if the standard of "do what your body says you can do" is impossible, then of course he's setting impossible standards.

also does cooking and shopping for fresh food. someone realizes Pakkun is in one of the baskets. they make a point of talking about how to look at the individuality of a diet, that every person's is and needs to be different, and that's without specific health conditions. why a number of energy units on a box won't tell you if something is good for you or not, or how your body will process it. and what to definitely never give your dogs even when they think they want it. how to cook for the dogs instead of using store bought, what treats and toys are best and why. at one point explaining that dogs see objects in movement better than stationary.

Everybody wonders what this crazy dog man looks like, but the closest they get is an arm or hands, maybe sometimes a shoe. Someone claims he can't possibly control that many dogs at once. POV with his hand holding 8 leads. with all the dogs clearly there. then unclasps each lead and gives them each individual commands before telling them to circle up.

then makes it clear how to effectively train them and why some lessons seem to fade if they aren't hard enforced. someone asks to see the precious boys get dinner, and all hell breaks loose because that cannot be real.

so, I have some very particular HCs about certain ways the dogs are trained and what they can do, because they're all bloody brilliant. they get used in modern AUs most often, including a very simple strategy that can be applied to almost everything else.

lines and letters. see the line? no touch the line, no cross the line. that's pretty simple. the more fun part of teaching the base of this is the letters - buttons! because those get particularly useful when they know what they want but can't speak human with their mouths. they all learn their names, which then makes this the simplest replacement for a child-dog gate ever.

-see the line? yes. good, no touch the line. -is there a name on either side of the line? yes. -is it on the same side of the line as you? yes. -is it your name? yes. good, stay on this side of the line. -is it your name? no. okay, move to the other side of the line. -is there a name on either side of the line? yes, both sides. good, you can be on either side of the line. -is there a name on either side of the line? no. stay on this side of the line.

when there's a word that isn't a name on the line, they can cross it once they hear that word. verbal commands take priority.

so the reason the IG people freak out is because there's eight dogs just waiting behind a doorway (an in-between room for house and backyard) but the door is open. there's nothing noticeable other than what might be a wood tile or something on the floor. pan to the side and there is a perfect set up of mats with lines on the edges each with a bowl of food in the center (including holders for some), and each mat has a katakana name on it. 'ban-gohan' is called and dogs do dog things, scurry to their spot, and start eating. but only from their spot, and some of the smaller boys wait, but nobody steals from them.

the whole concept around this is a combination of: -what could he use in literally any setting I will ever throw him into ever? -how many different things can this one method be applied to? -if necessary, can someone else set a command they will abide by with this method? -> is there a way to identify 'this is not from Kakashi' that can be used so he can override something?

@bishoukun IG influencers Kakashi and Gai is top tier!

Gai being the work out influencer but instead of selling you fake diet things or telling you how to lose weight and become thin, he focuses on making working out fun and pumping his followers up. He also teaches work outs that anyone can do, with different tiers of difficulties and has video’s of how to do certain excersises to aid injury recovery

Kakashi is dogs. All dogs, just like you said. He talks about the best dog foods depending on breed, dietary restrictions, etc. If there’s a group like Peta Kakashi is venomously against them and always talking about all the harm they do. He will chew out anyone who suggests dog’s can be vegan. He also shows how to bath dogs (including the difficult one’s like Akino) and no one belives that those eight dogs he’s always shown with are his.

They are

He takes care of them all and he loves them

More Kakashi headcannons? MORE KAKASHI HEADCANNONS!!!

Kakashi's SO has a fun game they love to play called 'steal the Hounds'. Whenever Kakashi has the hounds out for training, or they come home with him from a mission, his SO starts the game.

It involves they trying to tempt the hounds with treats, cuddles, and general love until they all slowly make their way from Kakashi's side to theirs, and it always works. After a bit if trying his SO is guaranteed to have Seven out if Eight hounds by their side.

The problem? Pakkun never gives in.

They can offer him the best, most expensive treats, and he's just look at them from Kakashi's shoulder. They can promise all of the cuddles, and he just rubs his head against Kakashi's chin.

Absolutely nothing they have ever tried has managed to get Pakkun to leave his summoners side, and it's damn adorable because where the little pug is usually pretty meh about affection, he loves to lavish Kakashi with all the play and affection he can whenever his SO is trying to steal him

As if he's marking his territory and saying 'no. I love you but I belong with my pup'

omfg the ninken are my weakness sdfasdjf;as

the thing is kakashi's partner knows that pakkun wants to give in.

they can see the way his curly tail starts wagging furiously as they start rubbing the other ninken's bellies. and they notice the way drool collects at the corners of his mouth while he stares at the treats just beyond his reach.

they don't know exactly why pakkun won't give in, but they're certainly curious about it.

and they continue playing the game, even though they know they'll never fully "win" because pakkun will always stay with kakashi.

the pug's devotion is unshakable.

kakashi's partner can't really be mad about it, though, because the jonin looks so at-ease with his pug companion curled in his lap or tucked against his side in the grass.

still, they tease pakkun and continue to offer him treats and cuddles.

maybe they enjoy the grumpy frown on his face a little more than they should, but it's all in good fun in the end.

and then one day, kakashi is called away to the hokage's office unexpectedly. but rather than send the ninken away, he leaves them with his partner expecting he'll be back soon.

but he's gone for a long time. the ninken could leave, certainly, but they choose to stay and wait for their summoner to return, knowing he'll likely appreciate the cuddles of his pack after whatever stressful thing he's been pulled into.

that night, as they all relax at home, bellies full from dinner and dozing, pakkun climbs up into the empty lap of kakashi's s/o.

"finally good enough for you now kakashi's not here?" they ask, petting the pug softly.

pakkun huffs and mumbles something barely discernible.

"come again?"

"i can't leave him alone," he says, "even if i know it's a game," he says.

and the way pakkun settles his head on his front paws, eyes unfocused as he stars at the wall, makes it very clear he is remembering something.

something painful.

"you never saw him after sakumo's death," pakkun explains, "i know it's not the same, but i never want to see him like that again."

the hands petting his head still and pakkun looks up into a ruefully smiling face.

"you don't have to worry about that, pakkun," they say, "between the both of us, kakashi will always have someone close by to love him."

and when kakashi climbs into bed that evening--finally--exhausted and irritated and ready to sleep for a week, his heart is full and happy when he notices the way pakkun has curled against his partner's chest, happily snoring.

九つの命/9 Lives Translation

Hi!! So, @foxy-and-tales asked me to tell her what was going on in the comic mentioned in this post. After skimming through it, I thought it'd be good practice - and it'd be easier to answer her question - if I just went through it and told her what it all meant. I realised by that point I was doing a translation, and since I was going to the trouble anyway, I thought I'd post it publicly.

So, the full comic is here. It's basically a comic that has 7 little stories about Kakashi's ninja hounds and their lives with Kakashi. It's an adorable, heartfelt story and I absolutely love the personalities that the artist gave all the ninja hounds and the depictions of their relationships with Kakashi.

My translation will be this post, follow it as a script. I don't have the skill or knowledge to edit and typeset and change the images myself - and I wouldn't do that anyway, as it would involve reposting the art and changing it without the artist's consent. But I do think that not referring to the pictures as you're reading through the script really harms how sweet this story is, so if you can go through the comic slowly whilst referring to my (amateur) translation of it, I hope you can get a glimpse of that!

WARNINGS: There is a depiction of an already dead dog in part 4 😢, and some (human!) male partial nudity in part 6 (😉)

Tagging: @scaredlittlefoxy @lemony-snickers @backalleykat @whatshernameis @gwedosuns @topsyturvy-dream @ice-icebaby @cosmiclattes

This is also the artist’s note that follows after the comic, that I’m putting here:

(Artist’s note translation)

"This is a story about the daily life of Kakashi and the eight ninken.

The ninja dogs’ personalities etc mightn’t be faithful to the source material.

The dogs live free range in Kakashi’s house.

There is an illustration of a dog dying, though it isn’t any of the ninken. Please take note.

You don’t have to read it, but below this are the dogs’ personalities:

Shiba: Friendly and sensitive

Biscuit: Childish and Selfish

Akino: Calm and cool demeanour

Bull: Timid and Quiet

Urushi: Ladykiller. A little bit dim. (Note: Himbo!)

Guruko: Annoyingly helpful and naggy

Uhei: Pure-hearted and cheerful

Pakkun: Same as in the series"

Some notes and then onwards into the translation under the cut:

Please take heed before continuing:

I’m not a professional translator, in fact I’ve done very little of this, so there’s some guesswork and liberties taken, and I don't claim that that there’ll be no mistakes.

I’ve separated it out by sections and pages, so you should be able to follow the story from following the speech bubbles (right to left) and referencing the lines here by speaker

Each space between a line denotes that it’s the next speech bubble

A new line but no change in speaker will denote that it’s the same character talking, but in the next panel or speech bubble

Italics means the character is thinking or flashbacks. I'll try and make this obvious as I go but the artwork should make that clear too.

Brackets are my additions, or me translating things like signs etc, or brackets will have smaller background dialogue not in speech bubbles. I'll try to make this clear as I go.

Stuff surrounded by * denotes actions or onomatopoeic actions/words in panels

Ask me if there’s any parts that confuse you about the story!! The way I’ve done this isn’t easy to follow but it's the best my dumb brain could come up with

TRANSLATION:

Title page

(p.1)

ここのつのいのち

9 Lives

(p.2)

1. ‘I won’t tell anyone’

(SFX: dogs playing and wagging tails)

Kakashi: Hm? You’re not gonna play, Shiba?

Shiba: …No. …Hey, Kakashi’

Kakashi: Hm? What?’

Shiba: There’s a girl I like’

Kakashi: Ohhh… I won’t tell anybody.

I won’t tell ~ I won’t tell ~

(p. 3)

Shiba: She’s really cute…

Kakashi: That’s great ~

Shiba: But I haven’t even spoken to her once

Kakashi: You should go for it ~

(SFX: *happy dog panting*)

Shiba: I’ll come back as soon as I’ve talked to her!’

Kakashi: Yep!

Shiba: I’ll be right back, definitely!

Kakashi: Ok, ok (lit. Yes yes)

(p.4)

Shiba: She’s already got someone (lit. she’s already in a couple/has a mate)

Kakashi: I see…

Shiba: She said her mate hurt his leg and can’t walk so he's staying at home…

(p.5)

Kakashi: Shiba, you know.. have feet that can walk anywhere…

So maybe you’ll meet an amazing girl again, won’t you?

(*dog cries*)

Kakashi: ...I won’t tell anyone. (*Comforting doggy*)

I won’t say anything. I won’t say anything.

(Kakashi: Aw, Shiba is pretty sweet to me, huh?)

2. Biscuit’s Sausage (note: I know his name is technically Bisuke in Japanese, but Biscuit is his dub name and it’s too adorable so that’s what I’m going with here! Also suits the personality he has in this story. What a biscuithead this boy is)

(p.6)

Biscuit: -You’re so sneaky, Kakashi! I wanted to eat sausages!

*crying dog noises*

(Uhei: Sorry, Kakashi…

Guruko: I told you!!)

Kakashi: You know if you eat sausages, Biscuit, your tummy will get sick, right? I’m boiling cod for you right now

(*tantrum noises, pounding feet and barking*)

Biscuit: *angry puppy noises* I hate fish, you idiot! I said I want to eat sausages! Sausages! Sausages!

Kakashi: *sternly* Biscuit

Biscuit: *whimper*

(p.7)

Biscuit: Kakashi, you IDIOT!

(2. Biscuit’s Sausage)

Biscuit: *sniff*

(Sign says Konoha Pet Food)

Biscuit: This is the store that sells the dog food Kakashi buys! Wow, maybe they have sausages here too!

(p.8)

Biscuit: I wonder if I'll be able to eat as much as I want… *gulp*

But if I did that, Kakashi would get in trouble

No, maybe…

*heart pounding*

Kakashi kept it (this) a secret just from me, because I'll get sick...

(Apron says Konoha Pet Food)

Shop Lady: *shuffles*

Biscuit: I didn't do anything yet!!! * heart pounding*

Shop Lady: Oh my… you really just talked!

Shop lady: You’re Kakashi’s pup, aren’t you?

(p.9)

Shop lady: Kakashi got you to come here, huh?

(Shop lady: you’re a good boy!)

Bisuke: Oh, no-

Shop lady: Though, he shouldn't have made you come pick it up without contacting us, huh? Here, sausages!

Biscuit: Sausages?!

Shop lady: There’s a pup among you guys that can’t have normal sausages, right?

It was a request from Kakashi.

He said he wanted me to make some especially for the puppy who can’t handle meat.

(p.10)

Shop lady: Well, here you go!! You’ll tell Kakashi we’re sorry for making him wait, won’t you?

Biscuit: Oh, um… But I don’t have any money…

Shop lady: It’s fine, because it’s Kakashi!

Whenever he has free time, he comes to pay.

I have a deal with him, you see. And he can't get the food if he's not here...

Next time, come together with Kakashi, okay?

(p. 11)

Kakashi: *casually picks up Bisuke* Thank you! This is for you ~

Shop lady: Thank you, come again!

Biscuit: Kakashi…

Kakashi: Hm?

Biscuit: Sorry…

Kakashi: Yeah…

I’m sorry too. I gave everyone else sausages while keeping it a secret from you.

I thought you’d definitely want some if you saw…

(Kakashi: But I got caught.)

(p. 12)

Kakashi: But…. Everyone’ll want some if they see this, too.

How about stopping by the park and eating it there?

We’ll keep it a secret from everyone 😊

Bisuke: *happy face licking and barking* When we get home, I’ll eat the cod too!!

Kakashi: Uhh… Well, Uhei and Guruko already ate it…

Bisuke: WHAT?!!!

(Flashback, Uhei and Guruko saying ‘Cod! Me too!! Me too! I want to eat some too!’)

3. Kakashi’s smile

(p. 13)

*paws thudding on ground/running away*

Kakashi: …Got you.

Akino: Ack!

It’s always only me that you brush so roughly, Kakashi!

Kakashi: It can’t be helped, can it? You have the thickest fur, Akino

*brushing softly* It’ll be over soon, it’ll be over soon…

Other doggies: That seems nice to me, Akino…

Kakashi: Hey, it’s falling out, it’s falling out ~

Akino: !!!

Kakashi: Look, it’s a mini Akino!! So much fur…

Akino: That’s too much hair off the bottom, Kakashi! Wha…

(p. 14)

*Kakashi continuing to laugh at his mini Akino*

Akino: There are times now where Kakashi summons us, even if he doesn’t have any business for us to take care of…

(Back then) he never ever summoned us outside of missions…

(p. 15)

Akino: He was doing all kinds of things, but he was the kind of person who never had a smile on his face…

Kakashi: If I had more time, I could make an even hairier one, you know

(Other dogs: *laughing* Akino: That’s a lie!)

Akino: Kakashi…. You're having fun?

Kakashi: *genuine smile* Yep, I am!

Akino: *smile* If you feel like it, you can keep going…

Kakashi: Oh?

(Later, Akino notices Kakashi has put sunglasses on the mini Akino)

4. Timid Bull (CW Animal Death)

(p. 16)

Bull: I’m the last ninja hound that came to Kakashi’s home.

Before that, I was living in a training centre for ninja hounds.

(4. Timid Bull)

The dogs I lived together with there… were all adopted when they were puppies.

But I still lived at the training centre, even as I became fully grown.

Ninja Hey, that dog looks tough, doesn’t he?

Centre manager: Yes, but… he’s not all that suited for battling…

Despite how he looks, he’s actually a timid dog.

Bull: I… I’m scared of insects. I’m scared of noises.

I’m scared of blood.

Centre manager: Because he can understand the stories of troubled humans, you see…

Bull: I’m scared of anything other than myself.

(p. 17)

Bull: Nobody would want a dog like me, right?

Kakashi: I found a good boy ~

Bull: *panicking* There’s no manager here!

Kakashi: Hello ~

Bull: …Hello… *heart pounding*

Kakashi: Ah, one that talks, huh…

Would you like to become one of my pups?

(p. 18)

Bull: Me…? Me, really? Quit it… That’s enough joking around.

Kakashi: What do you mean?

Bull: No-one wants me (😢)

Kakashi: No-one?

I want you, though.

Bull: What kind of a strange person would want me, I thought

(p. 19)

Bull: There were lots of dogs at Kakashi’s house

(Happy barking doggy noises)

Uhei: Woah, you’re huge! But among these guys, I have the fastest legs, you know!!!

Guruko: And I have the best nose!!

Biscuit: And I’m whiny!! (Note: lit. ‘I’m selfish!’)

Shiba: I have the sharpest bite!

Pakkun: I am the wisest. (Note: Pakkun I think uses Kansai-dialect Japanese lol so he sounds kinda... distinct. This is hard to convey for me lol)

Urushi: I’m popular with the ladies ;)

(Akino: I’m the fluffiest!)

Bull: I was so confused

You… you’re not scared of me?

I’m huge, and I have a scary face… So no one comes near me.

They all said they weren’t scared.

The reason, they said together, was…

(p. 20)

‘Because Kakashi brought you, Bull!’

Everyone was totally relaxed, as if they had no worries at all.

They all clung to me as if it was completely natural to do so.

I realised that there’d always be someone beside me.

(p. 21)

*sounds of paws scuffling against ground in first two panels*

*jumping to the ground noise in third panel*

Kakashi: …Bull, this way is a dead end.

Bull: …Sorry.

I couldn’t go back to where you were, and I thought so, but -

(p.22)

Bull: *looking at dog* He asked me to stay by his side.

…He was an enemy, but he was already dying.

That’s why, Kakashi….

Kakashi: …Yep.

Let’s give him a send-off together.

(Note: this was a tricky one because Kakashi says 送る, which means send, and is used with mail etc, but can mean to say farewells to the deceased, which is why Bull comments on it on the next page)

(p. 23)

Bull: He wanted to say ‘I want to bury him’

But Kakashi said ‘send-off’.

Lightly, as if his life force was still there

There… there are a lot of things that scare me.

When I was waiting for this dog, I was scared.

But I couldn’t refuse his request.

(p. 24)

Bull: …I’m spineless.

Kakashi: Everyone else has lots of things they’re scared of, you know.

That’s why they all stay by your side, Bull.

If you’re there, everything will be alright. That’s how everyone feels.

If you’re close by, everyone’s able to feel safe.

(p. 25)

Kakashi: ….This puppy, too.

Dying dog: …Please…

Bull: That dog…

Dying dog: Stay with me, until the end…

Kakashi: Because you stayed with him, Bull, he felt at peace, didn’t he?

Bull: I don’t think that dog was happy…

…Kakashi.

He was very thin, and he also smelt like he was sick

To protect themselves, his owner didn’t treasure this [this dog’s] life.

Kakashi, I…

Somehow, I..

I’m very…

(p. 26)

Bull: I wanted to cry out as loud as I could..

Kakashi: Yeah… (I’m not sure who’s saying this line)

Bull: For feeling guilty towards that dog, and for knowing Kakashi…

For my life being here now.

For my life, I wanted to cry it out until the blood came out of my throat.

(p. 27)

Bull: That dog…

I wonder, was that dog ever able to feel like this, even once?

(Flashback) Doggies: Because Kakashi brought you, Bull!

Uhei: Hey!!! Bull!!

Shiba: You’re late!!

I was worried, you know!

Guruko: (to others) Hey, Bull came back!!

Bull: I’m Bull. The dog that Kakashi found.

5. Urushi’s scales

(p.28)

Urushi: I think I’m good looking

(5. Urushi’s scales)

Girl pups: Ahh~ Urushi…~

Urushi: I’m popular with the ladies

(note: he uses メス, which means bitch in the literal sense - a female dog - and all the puppers use it to refer to human women too. So I just left it as ladies, as I don't think the pups mean it to be crass, they just use dog language and apply it to humans as well as themselves)

Sometimes I’m told ‘it’s probably because you’re one of Kakashi’s ninken’, but…

(Background lettering over the other dogs says ‘Unstylish/Uncool/Lame’)

But my other friends aren’t all that popular, really.

Still, I think it’s because I really am good-looking after all.

(Choruses of ‘Urushi~’, ‘Ahh…; and ‘Let’s play together, Urushi)

Urushi: Hehehe…

Being good-looking is a great thing.

Guruko: Hey, Kakashi!

(p. 29)

Guruko: You got hit by a girl again, didn’t you?!

Kakashi: *laughing* No…

Akino: Why were you hit by a girl? Do girls not like you?

Uhei: It looks like it hurts…

Kakashi: Nooo ~

Shiba: You’re so strong, Kakashi, why were you hit?

Biscuit: You couldn’t avoid it?

Guruko: *Steam from nostrils* I’ll fight her for you!

Kakashi: It’s fine, it’s fine ~

What are you saying?

(p. 30.)

Urushi: Kakashi said ‘I took responsibility’.

Sometimes humans say things I don’t understand…

Girl dog: Urushi… pair up with me.

Urushi: If Kakashi’s saying it, it must be important…

Be… Because I’m one of Kakashi’s ninken?

Girl dog: It has nothing to do with that. I like you, Urushi

Urushi: Wow… *heart pounding*

Girl dog: Pair up with me, and…

I want you to leave the ninken. (Lit. Stop being a ninken)

(p. 31)

Girl dog: I love you, Urushi, but what if, on a mission, you…

I can’t stand the thought of that!

Leave the ninken, and… always stay in the village with me?

Urushi: This girl’s a beauty, and has a kind personality…

I think that I might want to be with her…

Should I leave the ninken?

(p. 32)

Urushi: *perplexed*

Kakashi, Bull and Biscuit: *zzz, sleeping sounds*

Urushi: If I said I wanted to leave the ninken…

Kakashi: (in Urushi’s imagination) If that’s what you want, Urushi

It’s fine with me! (Background: It would be a shame, though…)

Urushi: I feel like Kakashi would say something like that…

Do I want to do that…? Not really, but… *sigh*

Hey, Pakkun.

(p. 33)

Pakkun: Something bothering you?

Urushi: Yeah, there is

I have to decide between two things, but it’s difficult…

I want both of them, but I can’t have them.

Pakkun: … Is it a girl problem?

Urushi: Yep ~

Pakkun: That’s just like you, Urushi. (Pakkun’s imagination shows two girl pups arguing:

Urushi!! Which one will you choose, me or her?! *indignant barking*)

When making a decision about something, one needs to think about what’s most.

...important to oneself.

Let’s say you balance both sides on your scales…

Urushi: My scales?

Pakkun: For example….

(p. 34)

It’s not the physical weight, but the weight of what you think is precious and important. It’s the weight of those feelings.

If you think about which is heavier, you’ll find the answer.

Kakashi: You guys are having a kinda complicated conversation, huh…?

Pakkun: Oh, Kakashi, you woke up, did you?

Urushi: *heart pounding*

Kakashi: My scales lean towards sleep, you know..

Let’s eat soon, okay? Please…

Urushi: Kakashi…. Are you happy that I’m here?

(p. 35)

Kakashi: Hm? Yeah, I’m happy!

Urushi, of course I’m happy ~

(Note: the word Kakashi uses is 嬉しい, which is ‘ureshii’ so Kakashi is making a pun with Urushi’s name here.)

Urushi: *blush* Okay!

Pakkun: What we were just talking about… Don’t talk about it in front of Shiba.

Urushi: Huh? Why?

Pakkun: Seems like he recently had his heart broken…

(p. 36)

Urushi: The thing that’s most important and precious to me… isn’t you.

That’s why I can’t be with you.

I can’t be with you, but… you’re a beautiful and amazing lady.

So, let’s meet again one day ~

Biscuit: Kakashi! Kakashiiiii! It’s awful!!

(p. 37)

(*throbbing pain*)

Biscuit: Urushi’s hurt!!

(*dogs barking*)

Guruko: Let’s go fight them!! *steam from nostrils*

Shiba: No way, is it a girl? Kakashi, you better tell him off!!!

Kakashi: Did you get into a fight with a dog from the village?

Urushi: No, it’s not that…

I took responsibility.

I’ve got a manly mark on my face, heh~

Shiba: You better tell him off!! *bark*

Pakkun: That’s it…

6. Kakashi’s Helper Team!

(p. 38)

Kakashi: I’m home~!!!

Guruko: ?!!! Kakashi, you stink!!

Kakashi: *sweetly smiling* Oh, stop it…

I saw Asuma after a long time, and we talked and ended up getting some drinks… It was nice to see him… *flops down on floor*

Guruko: Take a bath!!!

Don’t go to sleep!!

(*soundly sleeping*)

(p. 39.)

Guruko: Uhei! Uheiii!

Uhei: What is it?

Guruko: Let’s clean up Kakashi!

(6. Kakashi’s Helper Team!)

Uhei: Ehh… But if he wakes up, he’ll take a bath himself, won’t he?

(SFX: Heave-ho! Heave-ho!)

Guruko: We can’t leave Kakashi as he is when he’s this stinky! It’s fine, take it off!

Uhei: Uh, this is stuck half way, I can’t take it off

Guruko: Because you haven’t taken off his leg bandages!

(p. 40)

Guruko: Damn, this is stuck half way *pulling*

Uhei: Isn’t that because you haven’t taken off his headband?!

Guruko: This is enough, let’s carry him to the bath like this!

(*dragging noises*)

Uhei: Won’t his clothes get wet?

Guruko: It’s fine, because we’re going to wash them anyway!

Uhei: It’s amazing… Kakashi still hasn’t woken up!

Guruko: Okay, let’s wash him!

Uhei: Isn’t that… the shampoo that we use?

Guruko: It’s totally safe!!

If it’s fine for us to use, it’ll be fine for Kakashi too, right?

Uhei: I guess…

(p. 41)

Uhei: We can wash his body, but what about his clothes?

(SFX: *scrub scrub*)

Guruko: If we wash them together, it’ll be fine! Hey, pour some hot water over here ~

Uhei: Okay!

(SFX: *splash*)

Kakashi: *suddenly yelling* I’m gonna die!!

Guruko: *screaming*

Kakashi: Even with my face covered, if you pour hot water on me, I can’t breathe, you know!! You really can’t do that.

Guruko: You woke up…

(SFX: *heart pounding*)

Uhei: You really scared me…

(p. 42)

Kakashi: You’d started something, and I wondered how far you’d carry on… Ah, I’m drenched.

Guruko: Ah, I’m sorry, Kakashi!!

Kakashi: Well, anyway.. you guys ended up cleaning yourselves pretty good too. You’re all drenched, too.

Guruko: Then I’ll go get some towels!!

Uhei: Kakashi, Kakashi

Guruko acts the way he does, but he really loves looking after you!

Kakashi: I know.

Biscuit: I want to have a bath with Kakashi too ~

Guruko: That’s not it! It’s just all slippery (note: not accurate, but the gist is that Biscuit misunderstands and Guruko puts him straight)

7. I’ll always love you

(p. 43)

(Flashback)

Sakumo: Pakkun…

Pakkun…

I have a favour to ask.

(Present)

Pakkun…

(SFX: Snoring)

Kakashi: Pakkun..

(SFX: Gasp)

Pakkun: Huh?

Kakashi: It’s time to eat.

(p. 44)

Pakkun: Alright.

(Other dogs: Food~ Food ~

Kakashi: Yes ~ Yes ~)

(Flashback)

Sakumo: Pakkun…

Pakkun….

Pakkun..

(p. 45)

Pakkun: Kakashi?

Kakashi: Hm?

Pakkun: For the mission report before… You didn't need me, did you?

Why did you bring me?

Other dogs: We want to come too!!

Kakashi: It’s just Pakkun for today

Kakashi: Hmm…

Hey, let’s relax here for a little while.

Pakkun: What’s this…

Kakashi: Come on…

Well…

(p. 46)

Kakashi: I want to talk about Dad.

…No. Maybe it’s a confession?

Talking about Dad…. Felt like something we couldn’t even broach. Ever.

I think you felt this way too, right, Pakkun?

I couldn’t tell you earlier that ‘it’s all right now’. Even though it was.

It was just a matter of timing, I guess…

Pakkun: But I wasn’t waiting for you to say that… Even if you’d have said it earlier, that’d have been good, but..

Why, out of the blue like this?

A change like that… Just like…

Just like…

(p. 47)

(Flashback)

Sakumo: I have a favour.

(Present)

Kakashi: The day Dad died…

Ever since then, for a long time, now… I became strange.

I’ve been nothing but trouble for you.

Pakkun: Kakashi-

Kakashi: Even though… you were hurting over Dad not being here too.

(p. 48)

Kakashi: Dad was your first master, right?

You really were precious to him.

….The other day, when you were having a nap, I woke you up, didn’t I?

It might have been because of the food, but your nose was twitching.

At first, I thought you were growling.

When I woke you up, you had a really startled expression when you looked at me.

I understood right away.

You were thinking about Dad, right?

(p. 49)

Kakashi: You were having a dream about Dad that time, right?

Thank you for always being considerate towards me…

But it’s alright now.

From now on, I want you to tell me…

The things about Dad that only you know.

(p. 50)

Pakkun: Sakumo…

(Sakumo: Pakkun…)

Pakkun: …really was a loving, kind man.

Kind, and…

(Sakumo: Pakkun…)

Pakkun: Kind, and…

…Kakashi.

I’ll tell you about Sakumo.

The things I’ve always wanted to tell you

I’ll tell you now.

Kakashi: Okay.

(p. 51)

Kakashi: Thank you for telling me about Dad, Pakkun.

Pakkun: …Don’t you dare die.

(Pakkun…)

I’ve had enough now.

Yeah. Enough.

(p. 52)

(Sakumo: I’m asking.…)

Pakkun: Sakumo…

The two of you are exactly alike.

Kakashi: Oh, really?

Pakkun: Everything’s alright now.

(p. 53)

“Kakashi!”

(p. 54)

(No text)

(p. 55)

Kakashi!

(p. 56)

Kakashi

(Note: I think the favour Sakumo asked of Pakkun was to take care of and be mindful of Kakashi always. This isn't outright stated)

Laundry Day

It had been building for weeks now. Piling up, bit by bit. Iruka ignored it for as long as he could, shoving it to the back of his mind and going about his daily business, teaching at the Academy and pulling shifts at the Mission Desk like nothing was wrong. But eventually, even he could deny it no longer. When he checked his closet and found that all he had to wear was a single ketchup-or-maybe-blood-stained crop-top, tight yoga shorts, and flip-flops, he knew it was finally time to stop putting it off. There was no other choice left.

He had to do laundry.

“Oh my God, who did you kill?” Anko asked as he dragged the bulging laundry bag down the hallway of his apartment complex.

“You, if you don't back off,” Iruka snapped at her. “There's just enough room in here for a body.”

“I sincerely doubt that,” Anko said, cocking an eyebrow at the huge bag. “Seriously, what gives? That thing must be, like, a hundred pounds. Is this some kind of new training craze?”

“It's laundry day,” Iruka stated. Anko blinked. “I haven't done laundry in two months,” he went on impatiently. “It's kind of hard to find the time between my job teaching, my job at the Mission Desk, and my other job keeping Naruto and Sasuke from killing or kissing each other in public, and since they all count as full-time jobs with none of the benefits, I literally have nothing else to wear.”

“Ah. That would explain the booty shorts.”

“They're called yoga shorts, and they're comfortable.”

“I don't care what they're called, your ass looks amazing in them.”

“Stop ogling me!” Iruka barked, his cheeks flaming. Anko's eyes didn't move. “Am I gonna have to go have another talk with HR?” Anko paled.

“Oh, God, please don't. Last time I had to watch a three-hour film on sexual harassment in the workplace. I had to take notes. There was a quiz after.”

“Then stop. STARING.” Iruka gave Anko one last glare, then continued on his way, dragging his laundry bag after him with all the dignity he could muster. Which wasn't alot, considering the bag was heavy as fuck and he'd kinda been neglecting his standard workout routine. Because, you know, three jobs or whatever.

There were quite a few laundromats scattered about Konoha, all stocked with specialized, heavy-duty cleaning supplies for shinobi needs (to aid in the removal of blood, guts, and other icky bits picked up from slaughtering enemies and whatnot). The one Iruka usually frequented was located about ten blocks away, which normally wasn't too bad, especially if Iruka went by rooftop. However, that was quite impossible at the moment, considering his giant bag of dirty clothes was hefty and ungainly enough that it would probably squirt right out of his arms and kill an unfortunate pedestrian below. Also, it was the middle of summer and the sun had decided to be an asshole that day, blazing down like some kind of fire Jutsu and scalding every living thing in sight. To make matters worse, the laundry bag seemed to grow heavier with every step until it was like dragging Hokage mountain down the street. So by the time Iruka finally managed to heave the bag halfway across Konoha and up a flight of stairs into the laundromat itself, he was a hot, sweaty mess, his ponytail half-undone and hanging in his face, damp clothing sticking to his skin.

Which was exactly why Hatake motherfucking Kakashi was in there, of fucking course. There was no way Iruka's silly little crush wouldn't be in the one place he'd hoped he wouldn't be.

Iruka wanted to crawl into the nearest drier and turn it on.

Maybe he won't see me, he thought as he quietly slipped inside.

“Hey, Iruka!” Kotetsu shouted from across the entire laundromat. “Nice shorts!”

Everyone immediately turned to look.

Well I know who I'm going to kill now, Iruka thought to himself miserably as he was ogled by every shinobi in the room. He made a mental checklist and vowed to prank each one in retaliation. His body was a temple.

“You know you could have just stuffed that in a scroll,” Genma said after peeling his gaze off Iruka's thighs, twitching his senbon at the bulging bag.

“I'll stuff you in a fucking scroll,” Iruka hissed at him, wiping a sweaty strand of hair out of his face.

“Ooh, baby, talk dirty to me,” Genma cooed.

“You're disgusting,” Iruka said flatly. He glanced around, looking for a table with any inch of free space, perfectly willing to fight someone for it. There, in the back, he spotted one last table...right next to Kakashi. Because, you know, this day couldn't get any worse. Iruka debated waiting an extra ten minutes or so to see if the laundromat emptied out a bit, saw Genma wiggle his eyebrows suggestively at him, and decided anything was better than this. Steeling himself with a deep breath, he dragged his bag over to the open table beside Kakashi and started dumping clothes out.

Kakashi, thankfully, didn't respond to his sudden arrival except for a polite grunt and nod in greeting. Iruka nodded back, then focused for the next several minutes on organizing his dirty clothes, intent on ending this humiliation as quickly as possible. As he worked, he couldn't help but sneak glances at Kakashi while he sorted his lights and darks. The man was busy folding his own laundry, bent over the table, his movements precise and methodical, done with the utmost care. Iruka almost suspected he was using the Sharingan to achieve such perfect folds. He glanced down at the clothes themselves, expecting combat fatigues or maybe a pair of well-worn sweats.

Instead, he was surprised to discover Kakashi was folding almost two dozen miniature flak jackets with some kind of funny emblem on the back.

“Did...did you accidentally shrink that in the drier or something?” Iruka blurted out before he could stop himself. Kakashi looked over at him, blinking lazily, then chuckled, a husky sound that made Iruka's knees weak.

“Of course not,” he said, his voice warm with amusement. “This is my ninken's laundry.”

Iruka had to hold in a snort. The famed Copy-Nin of Konoha, scourge of all enemies, feared by missing-nin, doing his ninken's laundry? It was ridiculous! It was absurd! It was...

Adorable, quite frankly. Iruka's heart melted a little at the sight of him carefully piling up their little vests, careful not to crease them.

“It's a pain,” Kakashi went on. “They're so picky. I have to use unscented detergent and dryer sheets or they complain.”

“Too bad they don't sell a fresh cat-shit scent,” Iruka chuckled awkwardly before biting his lip.

Kakashi, however, took no offense, throwing his head back and laughing aloud.

“Ha! They'd like that! Maybe they have a three-day-old steak one, too.” He grinned at Iruka through his mask, one visible eye twinkling. Iruka flushed, and he quickly turned back to his laundry, realized he was holding a pair of underwear, and flung it away, his face flushing darker as he busied himself with sorting again. “You've got quite a load,” Kakashi went on after a moment, nodding at the mountainous pile in front of him.

“Yeah, I've been putting it off for a while,” Iruka grumbled distractedly, searching for a stray sock's missing partner with no luck. “This is literally the last thing I have to wear, so I either do laundry today or go into work tomorrow naked.”

“I knew I should have finished that mission report,” Kakashi said under his breath.

“Very funny,” Iruka scoffed in annoyance, shoving his first few loads into the nearby washing machines.

“Oh, I'm dead serious.”

The annoyance turned to anger, and Iruka looked over at the other man to give him a piece of his mind, only to find him staring right back, his warm grin having grown into something much more inviting, bordering on flirtatious. Iruka's sharp comment died in his throat and he cleared it roughly, feeling hot all over. Awkwardly, he reached for change in his pockets, then froze. He looked down and swore. He didn't even fucking have pockets. Stupid booty- YOGA shorts. He'd forgotten the quarters, and he didn't dare leave his clothes unattended for fear someone like Genma would be a creep and steal a pair of underwear or something. Also, Izumo and Kotetsu had a habit of borrowing things and never returning them, and he could see them eyeing several of his favorite shirts from across the laundromat. He'd just have to pack everything up and return home. What a waste, the whole trip had been for nothing-

The clink of coins snapped him out of his mental cursing, and he looked up in shock to see Kakashi paying for his loads.

“Oh no,” he sputtered, “please, Kakashi, you don't have to-”

“It's fine. You can pay next time,” Kakashi said with a wave.

“But I...well...oh, alright, fine.” Iruka sighed, giving in. “Thank you.”

“So it's a date then,” Kakashi said. “Which cycle do you prefer?”

“Cotton cycle, cold water, extra rinse, please,” Iruka said automatically, then blinked. “Wait, I'm sorry, did you say-”

“See you next week,” Kakashi was already halfway to the door, his ninken's clothes tucked under his arms and a pile of quarters left on Iruka's table for the rest of his loads. Iruka gaped after him in shock.

Had that...really just happened? Had he really exchanged pleasantries with one of the most infamous shinobi of Konoha while folding laundry? Or had it all been merely a dream, a figment of his imagination-

“You washing those shorts, too?” Genma asked hopefully, leering like a hungry wolf.

Nope, he was definitely awake. Iruka threw some Tide-pods at Genma to chase him away before turning back to his loads, shaking his head in wonder.

He'd definitely be doing his laundry more often from now on.
