The fox's wedding
A/N: since i received *30* reviews on chapter 12 alone in the course of some hours, i've decided to go ahead and update this fic with chapter 13. this is the last chapter, which will be followed by an epilogue.
a few blanket responses: sasuke was following naruto home, because he gave his hitai-ate to tsunade in favor of leaving the village with naruto. but he didn't want naruto to know this, because though he does know that kazahaya is naruto, he's still got some bitterness to hash out... which is done in this chapter, and quite quickly, 'cause i threw in another lemon... heh heh...
also, last chapter, i failed to tell y'all that 'gokenin' is like vassals who are like bodyguards and warriors rather than handmaids.
at the end of this chapter are previews of my two latest pieces and a special reader poll!
thank you all so much for your support and kind, if somewhat demanding, reviews *grins*

Chapter 13: The fox's wedding
____________________________________
As he lay in semi-consciousness, Naruto felt things shifting about in his body. A distant voice that he could barely make out kept whispering that everything was fine, that they’d made it on time. And after what seemed a very long time, he emerged from the blackness.
“Kazahaya-sama, good afternoon.”
Naruto stared through bleary eyes at an elderly kitsune, fur gone white after so many centuries of life. Wrinkles didn’t adorn the old face, meaning that the kitsune before him had never seen much battle. But Naruto did recognize the emerald earring on the elder man, denoting him as someone belonging to his reign.
“Nihara-sensei*…”
“Good, you remember who I am. Even more importantly, your pregnancy has been stabilized. Kyuubi-sama was most generous in supporting your ill-gotten child for so-”
“Watch your tongue, or I’ll rip it out.” Nihara paled, but drew his brows down in irritation.
“Never before has a great lord conceived out of wedlock, not to mention within his own body! I can only hope that the man we’ve put under lock and key was telling the truth, and he is your betrothed. Otherwise, the elders might not look too kindly upon you.”
“What are you talking about? What man?” Naruto stared at his physician with wide eyes.
“The man who stumbled upon a group of your gokenin, with you in his arms, told them that he was your husband-to-be and demanded that they bring you both here. Needless to say, once you were safely within the village, as he wouldn’t put you down, they rushed you to the healers and restrained the human. Surprisingly, he didn’t resist. He’s very noble…”
“Who is this man?”
“I didn’t stay to ask his name. We had to stabilize the pregnancy so your chakra could settle into its new flow through your body. You should only be nauseous for the next few days or so.”
Naruto shot up from his bed and grabbed his robe. The fine orange silk fell about his body, framing his blue boxers. He didn’t bother to tie it, instead throwing open the shoji doors and walking out of his private residence.
With a dark scowl over his face, he walked through the village, heedless of his state of undress and the many reactions it caused. His eyes were bleeding over red some, and his whiskers began to widen to jagged streaks rather than fine lines.
Before him loomed the royal hall, the larger building next to the ceremony hall where the throne was set. The royal hall was where the great lords dealt with the politics of the village, and so, was a place Naruto had rarely come. As he walked the long hallway that led to the large double doors of the throne room, the many servants of the hall scurried around him, wondering what in the world the great lord would be doing at the hall in his robe and underwear.
His hands reached out and threw open the double doors. The throne room was spacious and could fit the entire court, as well as a good many civilians of the village. Straight ahead of him was the throne, a wide settee graced with furs and pillows of the softest material, raised upon a dais. On a lower level, just to the sides of the throne, was a row of plush chairs in which sat the village elders.
Naruto glared at the old foxes.
“Where is he?”
“Kazahaya-sama! Should you be up after the ordeal you’ve been through?”
“That is not of consequence!”
“Should you be worrying about that man at all, is the question, Kazahaya-sama.” Naruto glared at one of the younger elders, some of the others shifting uneasily in their seats. “We’ve been informed that you are with child. We have not let this information leak to the village, but they will find out eventually. You need to pick a respectable bride to take the focus off of you. She can stay in hiding during your pregnancy, while you use an illusion to hide your stomach-”
“Enough!” Naruto lashed out with his chakra, sending the elder flying from his chair. The other elders somewhat raised from their chairs, surprised that their great lord would do such a thing. “Now that I am great lord, I no longer take orders from the likes of you. I don’t know how the great lords ruled before, but if you think I’m handing my future over to some brainless foxes that don’t know their heads from theirs asses, you’re out of your fucking minds! Now, where is he?”
“The… the Uchiha is being held in the detention facility…”
‘Gods, it is Sasuke…’
Naruto growled and stalked out of the royal hall. Of course, he wanted to see Sasuke, to free him from detention, but even as he thought these things, his pace gradually slowed down. What in the world could he possibly say to the Uchiha?
‘You could tell him about his child.’
Naruto let out a deep sigh, knowing his father was right. He reached around his waist for the tie to his robe and knotted it. He didn’t need Sasuke to see him in his boxers at this point in time, after all.
When he arrived at the detention center, Naruto was led to the Uchiha’s cell, where he ran into his vassal as she was coming out the door.
“Oh! Naruto-sama! You’re awake. I was beginning to worry. I was just feeding the prisoner. I didn’t think you’d want him malnourished. Please excuse me now, my lord.”
Naruto nodded and looked at the door that the guards were holding open for him. Inside that door was Sasuke, his only love and the father of his child. Naruto had never been so afraid in his life.
He signaled for the door to be closed after him, and he entered the cell. It was pitch black, four walls of impenetrable stone so that fire users could not call upon the power of the sun. Naruto’s demonic eyes picked out the whites of Sasuke’s eyes easily, and they were a very angry red.
“So you are Naruto.”
“Yes, but-”
“And here I thought you had been dead for the past fifteen years.”
“I know, but-”
“I ate my heart out for fifteen years, grieving over someone who was merely hiding in the fucking forest.”
“I was not-”
“Fifteen years, Naruto! Nothing can make up for the anguish I’ve lived with. I told you, you in your fucking disguise, that I needed you after Itachi killed my family, but you weren’t there. I’ve lived with so much pain-”
“So have I, you bastard!” Naruto saw angry red eyes widen slightly. “I know I should have fought my way out of the hands of this village at least once these fifteen years, but just because I didn’t doesn’t mean I wasn’t in pain, Sasuke. I missed you every fucking day of my life. And did you use your Sharingan to see my vassal? I stared at her every morning, thinking how much she looked like you. You don’t think that pained me?”
“Naruto…”
“And what was I really going to do, Sasuke? I couldn’t just show up in Konoha. The villagers hated me, and it seems as if Orochimaru has been giving you some trouble for quite some time. And had I been gone for any length of time, my gokenin would just have arrived and taken me back like they did fifteen years ago. And it wasn’t as if you could leave Konoha. That would have been defecting.”
“Which I-”
“Yes, which you did! But you did it to get revenge on Itachi. And had I put myself in the picture, would you have given up your pursuit of Itachi for me?”
“…”
“And if I asked, would you give up your pursuit for me now?”
“I no longer desire to kill Itachi. My only goal now if to restore my clan.”
“But you cancelled your wedding to Sakura.”
“…”
“Fine, be that way, bastard. Look, thank you for getting me to the village safely. Now I’ll let you go, and I’d expect you’d want to leave. I’ll tell the guards that you are free to do so.”
“Why did you collapse, anyway?”
Naruto froze for a second, and then continued to move towards Sasuke. He reached out to the chains around Sasuke’s wrists and used his magic to undo them. He stared into Sasuke’s eyes for a second, and then reluctantly turned away.
“I collapsed due to chakra displacement.” Naruto moved to the door and prepared his hand to make it open. “Before you go, Sasuke, I… That night… when we… Well, I’m sorry for my actions, but I have paid the price. However, I want you to know that it is a price that I was and still am more than willing to pay.”
“What price have you paid, Uzumaki?”
The use of his surname hurt, and he turned solemn blue eyes back to Sasuke, a sad smile on his face. “I am pregnant with your child.” Naruto heard a choked gasp, but was uncertain whether it came from him or Sasuke. “I’ve renewed the alliance between our villages, so you are able to see the child whenever you wish, but I’m afraid the kitsune tribe will not allow it to leave the village.”
Naruto moved to leave, but unexpectedly, he found himself trapped between the door and a warm body. Hands tightly gripped his upper arms, and he could feel the fine tremble in Sasuke’s body. There were irregular pants of breath hitting the back of his neck, and he wondered if Sasuke was crying.
A trembling hand moved to his stomach hesitantly, and Sasuke whispered, “Is it true? Are you carrying my child?”
Naruto closed his eyes against tears. “Yes.” He was spun around and slammed against the heavy door, a hand around his neck. He didn’t dislodge it, for he knew Sasuke deserved his anger.
“What the hell are you pulling? Did… did that night mean nothing to you other than getting pregnant? I recall you saying you simply wanted a strong seed.”
“That was a fucking act, bastard! I would never do something like that! That night meant more to me than you will ever know! Dammit, Sasuke, I fucking love you, have since we were children. And the last thing I ever wanted was to become pregnant with your child without you beside me!”
Sasuke just stared at him.
“I… I wanted to keep the child so that I could always have a piece of you with me, but if you’d rather I destroy it… I would… do that… for you.”
Naruto didn’t expect the slap that connected with his cheek.
“Fucking usuratonkachi, don’t dare to even speak that way! That is… our… child. Gods, Naruto…” Strong arms wrapped around him, enveloping him in warmth. Only then did he notice the cold of the cell had seeped through the fine silk of his robe to chill his skin.
A warm pair of lips fastened onto his neck. He moaned out Sasuke’s name, hands hesitantly tightening in the fabric on the Uchiha’s back.
“Naru-dobe…”
Sasuke’s hands reached for his hips and pulled him flush against the pale man’s lithe body. His lips became teeth, and Naruto felt something purring inside him at the thought of another marking him as a possession. Sasuke bit into his neck, drawing blood, and Naruto was hard pressed not to push Sasuke to the floor and ride him hard.
The hands on his hips moved to the tie of his robe and pulled it open. They went back to his hips, under the robe, thumbs softly caressing the sensitive skin above the waistband of his boxers. Then they hooked over the band and pulled down, and the silk slid over his legs like water until they reached his ankles.
Sasuke’s hands rubbed up and down his thighs as his lips claimed Naruto’s for a possessive kiss. The Uchiha’s tongue plunged into his mouth, bringing the taste of his blood to him, exciting him more. Then Sasuke’s hand lightly traced over his aching cock, and Naruto shouted out.
“Gods, Sasuke, please don’t torment me. Either fuck me or let me go!”
“You’re so damn commanding for a dobe.”
“I’m a great lo-ahh-lord!”
Naruto heard Sasuke chuckle, and for an instant he truly regretted being so aroused because he couldn’t find it in him to get angry at the insult. But, apparently, Sasuke was good at taking suggestions because Naruto felt two fingers prodding at his entrance.
“You’re really wet back here. You really can give birth.”
“You thought I was lying, you bastard?”
Naruto yelped when Sasuke roughly shoved those two fingers into his ass. They immediately rubbed up against his prostate, and Naruto practically melted in the Uchiha’s arms. Another finger was added, and they prodded and stretched him, and he writhed against the cold door and Sasuke’s warm body, wantonly begging for his lover to fuck him hard and fast.
“Put your legs around my waist, dobe.”
Naruto stepped out of his boxers and hopped up a bit to wrap his legs around his raven. He barely had time to cross his ankles before Sasuke rammed into him without mercy.
“Oh, gods, Sasuke!”
The cold at his back was uncomfortable until Sasuke rammed into his prostate, setting off a livewire of pleasure through his body. The feeling of his lover’s thick, hard cock thrusting in and out of his body was an ecstasy that Naruto was hard pressed to remember having ever felt before.
“Naruto…”
“Sasuke, gods, Sasuke…”
“Don’t leave me again.”
“No, never again.”
Naruto pulled his hand from Sasuke’s hair, not recalling how it got there, and moved to fist his own dripping length. Sasuke pulling his hips forward into his thrusts helped Naruto’s cock slip deliciously fast and rough through his hand, and his screams began to echo off the walls, getting louder as Sasuke sped up his pace.
“Sasu-chan!”
“What – ngh – is it – hah – Naru-dobe?”
“Will you – ah – take me – gods! – as your – hah, hah – bride?”
“Yes, gods, yes!”
The enthusiastic acceptance of their long ago promise was enough to send Naruto over, his hand and stomach catching his warm seed. Sasuke thrust one last time, and Naruto felt him release inside his ass. The sheer realization that his Sasuke had forgiven him and taken him as a bride was sweeter than any physical pleasure he could receive, and Naruto leaned down to capture the Uchiha’s lips in a chaste kiss.
“I love you, Sasuke.”
“I love you, too, Naruto.”
‘Thank the gods!’ Naruto clung to Sasuke, hot tears falling down his cheeks. He continued to cling to his lover, but then he felt a gathering of chakra in the hallway beyond the door.
“Sasuke, we need to go. I believe my gokenin are gathering outside.” Sasuke let him go, and Naruto leaned down to retrieve his boxers. Then he retied his robe, not worrying about the mess on his stomach; his gokenin would know what happened anyway. He turned and placed his hand on the door, using his magic to open it from the inside.
“Kazahaya-sama, there seems to be a group of Leaf ninja in our forest.”
“Have the elders begin the rain. I’m getting married today!”
“Hai, Kazahaya-sama!” His gokenin left, and as he began after them, Naruto felt Sasuke grab his wrist.
“What do you mean by ‘begin the rain’?”
“Ah, well, we fox demons don’t like to be seen by humans when we hold our weddings. So we make it rain to discourage humans from venturing out. Though ninja aren’t exactly normal humans, the rain will at least wash away all traces of your passing.”
“I’ve been wondering, if you’re the great lord, what will that make me?”
Naruto put his finger to his chin in thought. “The great lord’s bitch.”
“Naruto…”
“Haha, come on, koibito!”
~*~
“Our great lord now has his mate! Soon, his mansion will be filled with heirs to the nine-tails line!”
Naruto and Sasuke smiled at the deafening roar of celebration around them. Even though Naruto was indeed the first great lord to bear children, the village thought no less of him, as the majority knew the pain and joy of childbirth; they thought their great lord all the stronger for it.
Sasuke’s hand squeezed Naruto’s as they faced their people. He leaned over and whispered, “Just how many children are we going to have?”
Naruto smiled deviously but didn’t answer as the head elder motioned for silence.
“Our great lord Kazahaya has mated himself to a male human, Uchiha Sasuke, and the Uchiha has undergone the Ceremony of Eternal Union and has tied his existence to Kazahaya-sama’s. He has also placed his seed within our great lord,” more cheering erupted from the kitsune, “changing Kazahaya-sama’s destiny!” The roaring died down to curious whispers.
The old fox reached over to Naruto and removed the Amulet of the Earth from around his neck. The great lord looked on curiously as he placed the necklace back into the ornate box it had come from weeks before and drew out a pair of earrings. They each had a gold stud, and from it dangled a sculpted diamond prism that caught the light and allowed rainbows to dance in the air.
“As he shares his life, so he shares his life force.” The elder leaned over them and placed one stud on his left ear and the other on Sasuke’s right. A slight tingle of magic assured Naruto that the earrings were being permanently affixed to their ears until their deaths. “If one loses his life, the other shall lose his as well. Such is the power and destiny of those of the Studs of the Life. Never before have the Studs been given a great lord, but happiness is said to live within them. Go forth and find its truth.”
‘I am very proud of you, Kazahaya, and so very happy. I hope you and Sasuke experience as much joy and love as Kiera and I did.’
‘Hai, Otosan.’
Naruto leaned over and whispered into Sasuke’s ear, “I love you, Uchiha Sasuke.”
And Sasuke replied, “I love you, Uchiha Naruto.”
Naruto blinked and blushed, then smiled and leaned toward his husband. The kitsune tribe of the hidden kitsune village cheered loudly once again as the two lovers kissed beneath the sun and a light shower of rain.

Nihara-sensei: sensei doesn't just mean 'teacher,' rather symbolizes a mastery of a certain subject, in this case, a doctor or healer (at least that's what i've been told by japanese speakers, so don't bite my head off if it's wrong)
anyway, how did you all like this chapter?! it's one of my favorites of *everything* i've ever written. don't know why, that's just what i feel. *smiles* any questions, just review and i'll answer when i update. my classes start monday, but i'm hoping to get the ending out this weekend. if not, then next weekend. TTFN, ta ta for now!

(extras!)
Dost Thou Know (tentative title): Kakashi is a single dad to one Uchiha Sasuke, without any thoughts of love in his literature teaching head. Sasuke isn't much better. That is until Iruka and Naruto stumble into their lives, respectively (though Iruka is Naruto's guardian).
....Kakashi watched as the redhead and his followers walked away, and then he turned to his wayward student. The boy had set the pipe down and was now rubbing his eyes after his nap atop the dumpster.
“Shit, I hate when Gaara and his siblings come around. They should just stay in Suna.”
“Uzumaki, what are you doing here?” Kakashi turned his head a bit to look at Sasuke, and the boy was staring at Naruto in the most openly curious look Kakashi had seen from the boy in ten years, which wasn’t exactly saying much.
“Kakashi-sensei, izzat you?”
“Don’t try to get out of the question, Nar-”
“NARUTO!”
Kakashi stared wide-eyed as yet another person came up to them. It was a man, a little shorter than himself, with brown hair pulled up into a ponytail. His brown eyes were alight with anger, and they were staring straight at his blonde student.
“Why is it that I’m pulled aside by Tsunade the day when you’re supposed to be back at school and told that YOU DIDN’T COME IN?”
“Give me a break, old man! Tsunade-baa-chan suspends me from school, and then she all of a sudden wants me to come back? Fuck that!”
“Watch your mouth, young man! Dammit, just get your ass home, now! I want to see you with a book in front of your face by the time I get home!”
“Whatever.”
Kakashi watched, a little taken aback, as Naruto walked away. The man that had yelled at his student had his hands to his hips and was looking down at the ground, no doubt trying to regain his composure. When he had, he looked up at Kakashi and Sasuke.
“I’m sorry. Did he bother you? Oh, Sasuke-kun, hello. Is this your father?”....
and
untitled: Sasuke is a writer. His life is completely different from the utopias of true love he creates with his words. But what becomes of him when the words in his books begin to seem all too real?
....no excerpt, but this is the reviewers' poll!! WHO WILL SASUKE BE PAIRED WITH IN THIS STORY AND WILL HE BE SEME OR UKE?? you tell me, and the most votes will get it written!!
now review. or sasuke will kill you.
a few blanket responses: sasuke was following naruto home, because he gave his hitai-ate to tsunade in favor of leaving the village with naruto. but he didn't want naruto to know this, because though he does know that kazahaya is naruto, he's still got some bitterness to hash out... which is done in this chapter, and quite quickly, 'cause i threw in another lemon... heh heh...

His lips became teeth, and Naruto felt something purring inside him at the thought of another marking him as a possession. Sasuke bit into his neck, drawing blood, and Naruto was hard pressed not to push Sasuke to the floor and ride him hard.
The hands on his hips moved to the tie of his robe and pulled it open. They went back to his hips, under the robe, thumbs softly caressing the sensitive skin above the waistband of his boxers. Then they hooked over the band and pulled down, and the silk slid over his legs like water until they reached his ankles.
Sasuke’s hands rubbed up and down his thighs as his lips claimed Naruto’s for a possessive kiss. The Uchiha’s tongue plunged into his mouth, bringing the taste of his blood to him, exciting him more. Then Sasuke’s hand lightly traced over his aching cock, and Naruto shouted out.
“Gods, Sasuke, please don’t torment me. Either fuck me or let me go!”
“You’re so damn commanding for a dobe.”
“I’m a great lo-ahh-lord!”
Naruto heard Sasuke chuckle, and for an instant he truly regretted being so aroused because he couldn’t find it in him to get angry at the insult. But, apparently, Sasuke was good at taking suggestions because Naruto felt two fingers prodding at his entrance.
“You’re really wet back here. You really can give birth.”
“You thought I was lying, you bastard?”
Naruto yelped when Sasuke roughly shoved those two fingers into his ass. They immediately rubbed up against his prostate, and Naruto practically melted in the Uchiha’s arms. Another finger was added, and they prodded and stretched him, and he writhed against the cold door and Sasuke’s warm body, wantonly begging for his lover to fuck him hard and fast.
“Put your legs around my waist, dobe.”
Naruto stepped out of his boxers and hopped up a bit to wrap his legs around his raven. He barely had time to cross his ankles before Sasuke rammed into him without mercy.
“Oh, gods, Sasuke!”
The cold at his back was uncomfortable until Sasuke rammed into his prostate, setting off a livewire of pleasure through his body. The feeling of his lover’s thick, hard cock thrusting in and out of his body was an ecstasy that Naruto was hard pressed to remember having ever felt before.
“Naruto…”
“Sasuke, gods, Sasuke…”
“Don’t leave me again.”
“No, never again.”
Naruto pulled his hand from Sasuke’s hair, not recalling how it got there, and moved to fist his own dripping length. Sasuke pulling his hips forward into his thrusts helped Naruto’s cock slip deliciously fast and rough through his hand, and his screams began to echo off the walls, getting louder as Sasuke sped up his pace.
“Sasu-chan!”
“What – ngh – is it – hah – Naru-dobe?”
“Will you – ah – take me – gods! – as your – hah, hah – bride?”
“Yes, gods, yes!”
The enthusiastic acceptance of their long ago promise was enough to send Naruto over, his hand and stomach catching his warm seed. Sasuke thrust one last time, and Naruto felt him release inside his ass. The sheer realization that his Sasuke had forgiven him and taken him as a bride was sweeter than any physical pleasure he could receive, and Naruto leaned down to capture the Uchiha’s lips in a chaste kiss.
“I love you, Sasuke.”
“I love you, too, Naruto.”
‘Thank the gods!’ Naruto clung to Sasuke, hot tears falling down his cheeks. He continued to cling to his lover, but then he felt a gathering of chakra in the hallway beyond the door.
“Sasuke, we need to go. I believe my gokenin are gathering outside.” Sasuke let him go, and Naruto leaned down to retrieve his boxers. Then he retied his robe, not worrying about the mess on his stomach; his gokenin would know what happened anyway. He turned and placed his hand on the door, using his magic to open it from the inside.
“Kazahaya-sama, there seems to be a group of Leaf ninja in our forest.”
“Have the elders begin the rain. I’m getting married today!”
“Hai, Kazahaya-sama!” His gokenin left, and as he began after them, Naruto felt Sasuke grab his wrist.
“What do you mean by ‘begin the rain’?”
“Ah, well, we fox demons don’t like to be seen by humans when we hold our weddings. So we make it rain to discourage humans from venturing out. Though ninja aren’t exactly normal humans, the rain will at least wash away all traces of your passing.”
“I’ve been wondering, if you’re the great lord, what will that make me?”
Naruto put his finger to his chin in thought. “The great lord’s bitch.”
“Naruto…”
“Haha, come on, koibito!”
~*~
“Our great lord now has his mate! Soon, his mansion will be filled with heirs to the nine-tails line!”
Naruto and Sasuke smiled at the deafening roar of celebration around them. Even though Naruto was indeed the first great lord to bear children, the village thought no less of him, as the majority knew the pain and joy of childbirth; they thought their great lord all the stronger for it.
Sasuke’s hand squeezed Naruto’s as they faced their people. He leaned over and whispered, “Just how many children are we going to have?”
Naruto smiled deviously but didn’t answer as the head elder motioned for silence.
“Our great lord Kazahaya has mated himself to a male human, Uchiha Sasuke, and the Uchiha has undergone the Ceremony of Eternal Union and has tied his existence to Kazahaya-sama’s. He has also placed his seed within our great lord,” more cheering erupted from the kitsune, “changing Kazahaya-sama’s destiny!” The roaring died down to curious whispers.
The old fox reached over to Naruto and removed the Amulet of the Earth from around his neck. The great lord looked on curiously as he placed the necklace back into the ornate box it had come from weeks before and drew out a pair of earrings. They each had a gold stud, and from it dangled a sculpted diamond prism that caught the light and allowed rainbows to dance in the air.
“As he shares his life, so he shares his life force.” The elder leaned over them and placed one stud on his left ear and the other on Sasuke’s right. A slight tingle of magic assured Naruto that the earrings were being permanently affixed to their ears until their deaths. “If one loses his life, the other shall lose his as well. Such is the power and destiny of those of the Studs of the Life. Never before have the Studs been given a great lord, but happiness is said to live within them. Go forth and find its truth.”
‘I am very proud of you, Kazahaya, and so very happy. I hope you and Sasuke experience as much joy and love as Kiera and I did.’
‘Hai, Otosan.’
Naruto leaned over and whispered into Sasuke’s ear, “I love you, Uchiha Sasuke.”
And Sasuke replied, “I love you, Uchiha Naruto.”
Naruto blinked and blushed, then smiled and leaned toward his husband. The kitsune tribe of the hidden kitsune village cheered loudly once again as the two lovers kissed beneath the sun and a light shower of rain.
owari, but also TBC

Dost Thou Know (tentative title): Kakashi is a single dad to one Uchiha Sasuke, without any thoughts of love in his literature teaching head. Sasuke isn't much better. That is until Iruka and Naruto stumble into their lives, respectively (though Iruka is Naruto's guardian).
....Kakashi watched as the redhead and his followers walked away, and then he turned to his wayward student. The boy had set the pipe down and was now rubbing his eyes after his nap atop the dumpster.
“Shit, I hate when Gaara and his siblings come around. They should just stay in Suna.”
“Uzumaki, what are you doing here?” Kakashi turned his head a bit to look at Sasuke, and the boy was staring at Naruto in the most openly curious look Kakashi had seen from the boy in ten years, which wasn’t exactly saying much.
“Kakashi-sensei, izzat you?”
“Don’t try to get out of the question, Nar-”
“NARUTO!”
Kakashi stared wide-eyed as yet another person came up to them. It was a man, a little shorter than himself, with brown hair pulled up into a ponytail. His brown eyes were alight with anger, and they were staring straight at his blonde student.
“Why is it that I’m pulled aside by Tsunade the day when you’re supposed to be back at school and told that YOU DIDN’T COME IN?”
“Give me a break, old man! Tsunade-baa-chan suspends me from school, and then she all of a sudden wants me to come back? Fuck that!”
“Watch your mouth, young man! Dammit, just get your ass home, now! I want to see you with a book in front of your face by the time I get home!”
“Whatever.”
Kakashi watched, a little taken aback, as Naruto walked away. The man that had yelled at his student had his hands to his hips and was looking down at the ground, no doubt trying to regain his composure. When he had, he looked up at Kakashi and Sasuke.
“I’m sorry. Did he bother you? Oh, Sasuke-kun, hello. Is this your father?”....
