Permission To Seek

The Morning After

Naruto ~Someone to Kill For ~

The fair-skinned male, kneeling at the side of the guest bed gazed down at the sleeping Konoha Ninja. The young boy had a restless night. Naruto finally allowed assistance with his injuries after several hours of coaxing and patience, along with cups of a special blend of teas to ease mental anguish and physical pain. The herbal tea he prepared is an excellent treatment however; the host understood that the mental anguish would take much longer to heal. ‘Such a handsome boy;’ the thought of killing the dark haired male crossed his mind once again. He had decided to allow the blonde ninja explain to him the details of the attack, before making his final decision. Now gazing calmly at him, his heart full of concern, he wondered if this ninja would tell him anything. He presumed that the dark haired male is an acquaintance, not just a random attack. He speculated that not only was the dark haired male familiar but possibly a comrade; it would explain why the boy had not called for help, during or after the attack. It also explained why the boy had not fought or killed his attacker. He endured a similar circumstance when he traveled with the devil himself.

The man stood and left the room for more herbal tea, sure his guest would wake soon. The home he stayed in on the edge of the Hot Spring Village is quiet and quaint. The rear of the house faced a large hot spring surrounded by a manicured garden with various fruit trees, exotic flowers, and an impressive combination of natural tea herbs. The garden is the one place he feels secure when nightmares of the attacks he endured under Orochimaru, would not allow him peace. He smiled thinking of his lover, it is thanks to the Elder from the Hidden Leaf he gladly put his dark past behind him and started this new life. In the kitchen, he gathered a tray and added the prepared ramen into the boiling liquid. He discovered several packages of the dried pasta in Naruto’s backpack, feeling certain the boy would enjoy his personal recipe.

His recipe for ramen is prepared with natural ingredients to boost energy and a special blend tea to help digestion. Lifting the tray, he heard a firm voice speak.

“Who are you?” Naruto said, staring at the pale man with long white blonde hair, secured loosely by a band and calm pale green eyes.

“You shouldn’t be up, why don’t you sit and we can talk.” He gestured towards the low table and a cushion.

Naruto eyed him suspiciously, but then considering the man did help him he took a seat not feeling the least amount of hunger.

“My name is Kimimaro, may I inquire yours?” He placed the food in front of Naruto as he spoke. ‘He looks well, and he doesn’t seem to be in any pain.’ Kimimaro thought.

Naruto looked down at the noodles the smell was wonderful but hot anger raged inside of him and he did not want to eat. “Naruto,” he said flatly.

“I am pleased to meet you Naruto-kun. Are you feeling any discomfort, because I can provide you with something to assist with that, also this tea I prepared will be of great help in your digestive, allowing less discomfort.” He tried to smile however, the anger lines on the boys face told him not to bother.

Naruto gazed at the tea the steam rising in swirling rings reminding him of the steam in the shower. He felt nauseous. ‘Why did he let Sasuke do that to him?’ “No, I feel fine.” He said flatly, glancing at the pale green eyes above him. “Why did you help me yesterday?” He did not want to talk about what happen in the hot spring.

Kimimaro eyed him thoughtfully. ‘Was he really feeling no discomfort, it would seem unlikely do to the seriousness of the injuries.’ “Naruto-kun, please eat it will help and you do not need to pretend you are not suffering.” He added in a concerned voice; “it has happen to me before, I understand the pain you must be going through.”

Naruto glared, the frown on his forehead increasing; “I am not pretending, don’t call me a liar!” He snapped, the blue eyes blazing at the pale man.

“I did not mean to insult you Naruto-kun, I only want to help.” Kimimaro in contrast lowered his voice this being the similar reaction he had gotten yesterday in the changing room only Naruto’s eyes were blood red at the time.

Naruto continued to stare his face set in a harsh frown. ‘What does he want, why is he so concerned about me? “I am asking why you helped me.” He said defiantly.

“Do I need a reason to help someone in need?” He lowered his voice more softening the tone trying once again to draw the boy into a calmer state. “You are a ninja of the Hidden Leaf do you need someone to ask for help before you provide it?” Kimimaro did not wait for a response, and Naruto did not look like he would answer. “I presume you are the type of ninja who always help someone in need, even if they were an enemy; someone who would never turn their back on a comrade and would die to protect a friend.” He glared back into those defiant eyes. “I believe I am correct in this.”

The deep blue eyes faltered, the frown faded. He felt guilt rising in stomach this time not associated with Sasuke. “Forgive me for my rudeness.” He said in a choked voice casting his eyes down on the steaming bowel. “Thank you for caring for me and preparing this food.” He kept his head firmly down toward the soup in front of him.

“I don’t need your thanks, but I am happy to receive it.” Kimimaro smiled warmly at the small ninja.

Naruto lifted the chopsticks and began to eat. After the first mouthful, he gazed up with flushed cheeks at his host. “Wow this is really good, thank you again.” It tastes perfect to him he had not realized how hungry he was until the first bite. Kimimaro did not make any further inquires or offer help he just kept the young ninja’s bowel full until he sat back rubbing his stomach contentedly.

“You are an excellent cook if you ever come to the Hidden Leaf I will introduce you to the best ramen in all of Konoha. If you open up a shop there I don’t know who I would go to for my daily ramen fix.” He gazed up thoughtfully considering what he would do if that happens.

Kimimaro leaned on one elbow watching Naruto fondly. “Well, you could go to one for breakfast and the other for lunch.” Naruto’s perky attitude amused him, so quickly he has reverted to a positive and bright disposition. ‘He must be some kind of ninja.’ Kimimaro liked him instantly.

Naruto beamed, “You’re right! That way no one would get mad if I didn’t patronize them so much.” He laughed wondering how much that would cost.

“Although that is not healthy for a growing ninja, you must have plenty of vegetables to grow properly.” Kimimaro chastised.

“Yeah, I know;” Naruto grinned; “everyone keeps telling me that, but I love ramen and I’ll find a way to add some green stuff with it, just to shut people up.” His grin was funny and wide almost happy.

“I would be happy to dispose of the one responsible for this assault, just give me the word.” Kimimaro’s voice dropped to a whisper, but the tone and intent was evident. “He should die for his crime.”

Naruto grin collapsed, he eyed the pale man darkly. “What makes you think I don’t want that pleasure for myself?”

“I do not presume that much;” his voice a soft hiss. “However, if it were in you to do it, he would be dead now right?” He raised one eyebrow, staring at the golden hair ninja.

“What makes you think I would allow you to do it for me? If you try, I will stop you.” There were no sign of the happiness he displayed a few minutes ago. A cold determination darkened the young face. The vibrations of his intent filled the small dinning area.

Kimimaro sat up straight. ‘Did he just threaten me?’ He smiled knowingly, “I take it he is not only a comrade but a friend, and you are the better friend of the two.” His tone returned to normal, he reached across the table clearing away the dishes. “No I will not do anything unless you ask also, I underestimated you.” He looked warmly into Naruto’s deep blue eyes. “As a Hidden Leaf ninja, you really don’t need my help to dispose of someone I’m confident you will be able to handle it in your own way.” He smiled and took the dishes to the kitchen.

Naruto followed him with his eyes as he walked out. ‘That guy said he would kill Sasuke if I asked. Somehow I became a friend that he would kill for how did I manage that?’ Kimimaro came back to the table pouring another cup of tea for Naruto. He looked up into the calm pale face that did not seem to have a single line or wrinkle, vaguely wondering about his age. “I’m sorry I spoke so harshly he is my friend and I do not know what I will do about him but killing him has not occurred to me. Allowing someone else to do it for me, I could never let that happen. I am the one who is going to punish the bastard.”

Kimimaro eyed him subtly, ‘what an amazing ninja.’ “Perhaps you know a friend of mine he lives in Konoha. He is called Kuni-te (master doctor) he is of the Aburame Clan he is very famous.” He sat back in his seat watching Naruto sip his tea.

“No, I don’t think I know him, I only know one person from the Clan, I never heard of Kuni-te.” Naruto said between sips his mind drifting on the words Shino spoke to him.

“Oh really,” Kimimaro looks in the bright blue eyes, seeing he is distracted. “Who do you know? I thought the Clan is very famous in the Hidden Leaf.”

Naruto looked at him; he would not consider the Clan famous as far as he knew. Most of the people he heard talk about the Clan only said negative things. Now giving Kimimaro his full attention, he did not want to change his opinion. For some reason he felt protective of the Aburame Clan as well as, embarrassed to admit the feelings of his fellow villagers. “Well, I am not so well informed I only graduated about a year ago, and I was always too busy getting in trouble. I don’t know much about the different Clans.” He scratched the back of his head nervously.

‘Why would he say something like that, I can tell he knows more than he will admit.’ Kimimaro continued to eye him calmly; ‘some kind of ninja Naruto-kun, you protect everyone, no matter who they are.’

“Oh the one I just met before I went on this mission, we actually graduated in the same ninja class. I did not hang with him in school. As I just said, I was too busy being a fool. His name is Shino, Aburame Shino he is a friend. We are going to train together and have lunch, when I get back. He is a pretty strong guy.” His grin and happy mood returned instantly, also a slight blush as he talked about his new friend.

“You trained with him before?” He raised his light eyebrow questioningly a slight smile curled the corner of his lips.

Naruto looked at the man, ‘what is it with that look, does he know Shino?’ “Not exactly, but I will and I think he’s really strong, just a feeling.” He felt guilty, thinking maybe he spoke too quick calling Shino a friend.

“Well, then you must have met his uncle, the old man never leaves the boy’s side when he is not on a mission.” He noticed a slight gleam of recognition flicker in Naruto’s bright eyes. “Yes I see, you have thought of something. He is Kuni-te and he is my very close friend. If you intend to train with Shino, please attack him like you are going to kill or all your effort will be for nothing.” He finished looking at the boy who had won his respect in under an hour.

“Like I will kill?” Naruto felt a horrible wave; ‘what if I hurt him?’ “I don’t think I could do that to a comrade.”

“If you don’t you will only cause yourself pain, maybe get yourself killed.” Kimimaro folded his hands under his chin and eyeing his houseguest intently. “That is the purpose of training, to push yourself to your limit so that when you meet a true enemy you will not hesitate to kill them. I trained with Shino some time ago; it is how I met Kuni-te. I offered him private lessons for the boy, it is one of the things I do besides make my own tea. Since you call yourself his friend, I will trust you not to repeat this conversation.” Lowering his hands to the table, he smiled gently at Naruto. “The boy was already an advanced ninja I informed his uncle after our first training session. That was not something Kuni-te cared for me to share. ‘Just train the boy as much as you can, as long as to you can.’” Kimimaro huffed impatiently. “That old man wanted me to push Shino to his breaking point. I did what I was paid to do until he broke.” He fell silent wondering if Naruto should hear the rest.

Naruto gaped at him, his mouth open with wide eyes. “What happen to Shino?”

“He nearly killed me.” Kimimaro stated fixing Naruto with his pale eyes.

“No” Naruto’s voice a whisper. “That can’t be you said some time ago there is no way he could have done that, we were still in the Academy.” He shook his head in disbelief.

Kimimaro eyed him cautiously; “Well, according to Kuni-te Shino only received private lessons up to the time he came to me. Perhaps the old man wanted to see if he was ready for the Academy.” He looked into the shocked blue eyes. ‘This may be too much for this young ninja to understand.’ “I wouldn’t want to spoil the fun of discovering his strength on your own but I will say this much. Do not allow his Kikai to touch you.” He leaned toward Naruto to emphasize his words. “They are sadistic.” He stared at the boy.

‘Kikai, Shino had said something about seeing how well he would stand against his Kikai.’ Gazing at Kimimaro’s pale green eyes, he asked. “What are Kikai?”

“You call yourself a friend and you do not know what Kikai are?” He simpered teasingly. “They are bugs.”

“Bugs?” Naruto blinked thinking he must not have understood, ‘what the heck, bugs that can be used by ninja?’

“Yes, Shino’s are very dangerous, especially if you are like me and ‘push’ the right buttons.” He sat up straight. “Just keep in mind not to allow them to touch you and your training will be profitable.” He lifted his own cup of tea, still marveling at the deep blue eyes.

“Can you tell me what happen to you?” He still found it hard to believe, ‘that guy seemed so in control of himself.’

“Shino’s Kikai countered my attack, they moved as if they were several steps ahead of me eventually forced me into a trap and immediately sought to end my life. Defeating me was not his purpose he wanted me to die. He stood over me as I screamed, watching his Kikai absorb my life grinning.” Kimimaro’s eyes glazed over slightly. “His uncle stopped him I remember vaguely hearing him yell at the boy to not take my life I was not the enemy finally saying they would return the village, only then did he recall his Kikai. Most of the time we trained he would passively state he only wanted to return to the Hidden Leaf training he said was pointless. I had a job to do to that end I sought to antagonize him as much as possible to get him to fight me seriously. I guess I went too far, and he saw me as an obstacle to what he wanted.”

Naruto looked on the pale green eyes in wonder. ‘Is this guy truly strong? Maybe he is easy to defeat so that’s how Shino took him out.’

Kimimaro smiled at him warmly; “So you suspect I was not much of a challenge?” Seeing Naruto blush he continued. “I don’t hold any grudge against the boy and his uncle made it worth my while he cared for me for several weeks as I recuperated. It offered me the opportunity to get to know Kuni-te better. Because of Shino I have a nice relationship with his uncle.” He grinned derisively, “If you want to know more ask Shino about our final battle he is not fond of me. I believe it is because he really wants to kill me, but his uncle has forbidden him to interfere with my existence, in any way.” He added pointedly.

“You think he will talk about the training?” Naruto asked.

He glanced up thoughtfully; “Well, you say you are friends, I believe if you ask he may tell you. Although I am surprised, his personality is not the most open and Kuni-te admitted the boy had no friends.”

Naruto stared at him thinking ‘what a terrible thing to say.’

“However, that was sometime ago, maybe he has finally taken my advice from our last battle. Making friends would be good for him, since his last parting words to me were I would remain on his list. You should ask him about that as well.” Kimimaro stood from the table. “I will be happy to walk with you back to your hotel, is that ok?”

Naruto looked up at him the man is telling him it was time to leave, and he did not want to face Sasuke. “Yes, sure that would be nice.” He stammered. “Kimimaro-san, can you tell me the advice you gave Shino.”

“Oh sure, but I wouldn’t repeat it if I were you, it is part of the reason he wants to kill me.” He smiled sheepishly. “I told him ‘stop walking around like you are the main character in a one-sided love story; F*** the boy and be done with it.’ That really pissed him off, so I guess he and I will never really be friends.” He laughed lightly. “I’ll just change it will only take a moment.”

Naruto watched him leave with a disapproving glare. ‘What kind of thing is to say to a kid?’ He glanced out the side window overlooking the back garden. ‘Why would Shino be so upset by something like that, is there someone he really likes?’


Kaka X Iruka ~ Birds of a Feather

Kakashi sat up on the bed, with his back against the headboard. The sun shines brightly through the bamboo curtains, dappled across his face as he blinked away his weariness. ‘It is too early to wake like this. I want to enjoy this feeling a little longer.’ He thought, stroking the chestnut brown hair. Iruka made love to him like no one he had ever experienced before it reminded him of his youth insatiable. He felt young again before so many friends and comrades lost their lives, silly with the joy of new love. He shudder his heart skipped a few beats as he gazed contentedly at the sleeping man beside him.

‘Where are those two?’ The thought of his two soldiers, for some reason he did not understand, caused him to sleep restlessly. He gazed around the small hotel room, wondering if he should wake Iruka before he left. His own hotel room with the boys a couple of blocks over. Tsunade had really given Iruka a nice place to stay. Complete with a glass walled shower and sauna overlooking the tranquil forest surrounding the village.

Iruka stirred blinking thick lashes and eyes that matched his dark hair. “Ohayou (good morning) Kakashi-sama, did you sleep well?” He smiled lifting his head onto Kakashi’s lap.

“Ohayou, Iruka-kun.” The flutter in his heart increased, as he gazed in the brown eyes. ‘What can I say he is so beautiful, but can I say that to him while he looks so adorable and I need to leave on my mission?’ Kakashi thought.

“You look so beautiful.” Iruka said, rubbing the inside of Kakashi’s thigh, sliding one of his shapely legs over the Jonin. “I wondered how you would look the morning after; now I get to add this to my permanent memory of wonderful things I’ve seen.” He licked his lips and continued to gaze at his lover.

Kakashi raised one eyebrow, the Sharingan covered by a smaller eye patch. “That is the pot calling the kettle black.” He mused at his dark hair lover. His voice dropped in a concerned tone “How do you feel any discomfort?” He did not go easy on the young Chuunin after they got back to his hotel.

He beamed up at the Jonin; “I feel wonderful, a little stretched but wonderfully so.” The level of Kakashi’s passion a lasting experience after the first encounter at the spring and promise of more; the hotel room provided a wonderful continuation. Kakashi had gone out of his way to pleasure him. Iruka felt delightfully full-filled and loved. “Kakashi-sama, lets get something to eat with the boys, I know a very nice place in the village.” He looked hopefully in the dark eye above him.

“Hungry?” Kakashi's mix-matched eyes gazed slyly at Iruka. “Can you hold that thought until lunch Iruka-kun?" A lustful grin spread across his face the hand massaging his thigh, peeked his over-active sex drive. He leaned down to the Chuunin’s pink lips.

Iruka lifted his head to meet the kiss, thinking ‘I am a horny, perverted, rabbit more than food I want to have sex with him again.’ He met the kiss with succulent sweetness; licking the lips and tongue that eased out of Kakashi’s mouth. “We could use the shower to…” another deeper kiss; “to…get ready…” He took in deep shuddering breath. Kakashi pulled him up on top of him as he slid down off the headboard.

“After.” Kakashi whispered, pushing his tongue deep into Iruka’s mouth, and guiding him to open his legs.

“After? Kakashi-sama do you ever get sexed out.” Iruka breathed between a lengthy kiss.

“No.” he smiled between the kiss.

“Good.” He opened his legs, sitting up on the Jonin’s hips.

Gazing longingly into Iruka eyes Kakashi continued to rub Iruka’s thigh’s ‘Love so much, I will do my best to make him happy.’ He pulled the thighs forward, easing his hands to the waist until Iruka sat on his chest and shoulders; his erect cock perfectly positioned near his mouth.

Iruka gasped eyes rolling up in his head pushing his long fingers though the Jonins’ silver hair. “Kakashi-sama, you are too good for me!” He panted. The head of his cock suckled and licked by the Jonin.

Kakashi yearned for more; pulling Iruka forward, and lifting his head to take in more of the length. Opening his jaw wide the heated cock pulsed against his lips. He groaned, his mouth salivating as the sweet flavor of his lovers’ juices coat his tongue he pulled back slathering around the delicious erection then sucked him to the back of his throat.

Iruka grabbed extra pillows from the opposite side of the bed and shoved them under Kakashi’s head as the Jonins’ eye focused up on him. ‘It feels so good, he’s looking at me like that again, I never imagined he would return my feelings.’ “I love you Kakashi-sama.” He gasped feeling himself getting close his eyes glued to the Jonin. He grabbed the headboard pulling his hips forward to the mouth; the thrust gradually increased.

Kakashi tightened his lips and mouth around the cock in his throat; squeezing reflectively on Iruka’s hips. He enjoyed oral sex; since it would now only be Iruka, he intended to enjoy it much more. He reached both hands up to the erect nipples above him twirling and pinching them firmly. Iruka cried out in passion one hand gripped the Jonin’s hair his body shaking. Kakashi discovered the previous day that Iruka’s nipples are one of his erogenous zones; guaranteed to make him climax in five minutes or less. He felt a wave of satisfaction having learned this valuable information about his lover.

“Oh yes! You feel so good!” Iruka’s moans gradually increased. “Kakashi-sama you are the best!” He was howling now all thought of his fellow hotel guests forgotten.

Trying to keep his mind on the cock in his mouth, he swallowed the snicker at Iruka’s volume. ‘I must be really good, I am glad he is enjoying it.’ He felt the familiar tightness of the erection and reflex spasms of the muscle, as the ejaculation rolled up the shaft. Hot fluid filled his throat briefly before he gulped it down; ready for the next spurt from the delicious cock.

Gasping and moaning, griping the headboard he gazed down at the Jonin his eyes out of focus. Kakashi had him wanting more, even after he had just climaxed. “Kakashi-sama that was so nice, you are amazing.” He managed as he eased his penis out of the Jonin’s mouth.

Kakashi guided his young lover to lie down across him. Placing a hand on the small of his back as the other caressed his face. ‘So beautiful these brown eyes he is looking at me with so much love.’ His heart skipped several beats. “I am all yours, Iruka-kun; let me know if it is too much. You are still young and life is full of people you may want to experience.” Lifting his lips to kiss Iruka tenderly he breathed in his mouth. “I do not want to interfere with that.”

Iruka returned the kiss sweetly, smiling into the Jonin’s mouth. He eased his chin down on Kakashi’s chest enraptured by the man. “For a genius you say the dumbest things.” He teased. “I am a lot older in my habits than you. I don’t need other people to ‘experience’ the fulfillment of my age, all I need us you.”

The Jonin, snickered; feeling the weight of his decision to believe Iruka’s devotion lift. ‘I will love him long after he’s forgotten me.’ “You say the sweetest things to an old man, I will never go easy on you; since you decided to make this an official relationship. I don’t change, so be careful if you want me to alter my lifestyle.” He said considering how to fit Iruka’s things in his small apartment more than likely they would need to get a bigger place.

“You will not go easy on me?” Iruka raised an eyebrow. “I will be the one not going easy on you.” He stated plainly. “You are not so old that you can doubt how I feel or believe your feelings are any more or less than mine.” He smirked. “If I admitted the truth, I am a bigger pervert. Your habits will not offend me and long after you are dust in the earth, I will love you and burn candles in your memory.”

Kakashi chuckled. ‘He is just what I need a man who can put me in my place in the sweetest way possible.’ “Uhmm… burn candles in my memory. That sounds nice, far off, but nice.” He grinned back.

“I’m hungry; let’s get in the shower I owe you.” He winked, stood stretching his lean bronzed color body cast a dutiful look at Kakashi and sauntered over to the shower.

Kakashi watched him salivating. ‘I am a very good boy, I must follow my happy place.’ He followed the Chuunin, snickering.
