Chapter four the end

Itachi's POV

**T.T** (Page break)

It's mid afternoon now, the sun is angled at just the right position, so that the shadows cast by Kakashi's cottage make the (living?) lawn and back fence a back drop for a shadowed mountain range.

Well I'll be fucked.

There it is. A mountain, I don't see any candy, but I'm not going to spoil Kyu's moment of glory.

"DO YOU SEE IT MR ROARY? DO YOU SEE IT TACHIEEEE?"

"Yep." What else am I suppose to say? You're delirious? It's JUST a shadow? You're the most gorgeous thing I've ever laid eyes on?

Nope this day has been too stressful, and has turned into too much fun to burst this bubble now. I've gotten to spend some time with the man of my dreams (albeit he's not entirely himself, but still), In a way, I have found my candy mountain, my Kyu candy mountain. I'm so glad i took the afternoon off to look after him.

"LET'S GO!" He's taken my hand in his, and we're walking towards the backfence, and isn't it wonderful, the feeling of his hand in mine, no stress about our family, or caring if someone might see us, or what our realtionship should realy be defined as. Who cares, we found candy mountain, and we'll be damned if we don't scale it's peak.

Actualy, how do you scale a shadow mountain?

"Let's sit and bask in the WONDERS of CANDY MOUNTAIN Tachieeee!"

Kyu's so happy, smiling, and he pulls me down to sit on the wood pile next to him, with Mr Roary now standing ontop of a particularly large log in front of us.

We sit, basking.

**U.U**

Theres a bit of dabbled light, coming all the way from the trees out the front of the cottage, it covers us and shimmers, it's almost hypnotic. I put my arm around my fox, and pull him into a hug, his face shows signs of being tired, and ready for sleep.

"Now we can have a rest, ne?"

"Yeah. Tachiee?" He asks, looking up at me.

"Hm?"

"It's gona be alright." I smile at him, "Yeah. We'll be alright."

** 3 3 **

The Light, coming through the trees out front, make strange patterns for us while we sit, enjoying the afternoon together. Kyu tells me in a sleepy voice that one particular ray of light must be the Banana King (as you see, it resembles a banana). I'm too content to find fault in this statement, so I salute the Bananna King, which makes Kyuubi giggle.

Mr Roary has a few patterns of light on his head and tail, Kyu and I tell each other how that must mean he's been blessed by candy mountain, and that his fellow dino-kind will hold him in high regard.

"Hmmm, I wish we had some candy." Kyu says, eyeing the mountain ranged fence behind us.

"Nyeah." I snuggle a bit closer to him, my arm around his back moves down around his middle. I feel something rustle in his gown pocket.

"I wonder if Shizune Chan would like to meet the Banana King? What do you think Tachiee? Tachiee?" He looks at me queerily, as I rummage through his pocket. A Wrapper, another, and another.

"Candy." I whisper, he gives me another strange look.

I pull out a handful of cholocate eclairs from the gown pocket, and then another handful. Kyu looks confused, then suprised, then over the moon.

"Ha, candy." I half expected another outburst of cheering from him, but he's too tired and worn out now, so he just smiles, and excepts one happily.

We both pop an eclair into our mouths, and I place one in front of Mr Roary too.

I hear the front door open and close, but for the first time since staying with Kakashi's cottage, I don't feel that sense of alarm, that it could be someone trying to hurt my family, I know it's just Shizune San. She will find us soon enough.

"HUUU!" I swing my head to look at what has startled Kyuubi, only to find him grinning up at me again.

He points to me, I don't understand, so he puts a hand on my chest. The ray of light, shaped like a banana is now across my body, the trees must have moved in the wind, or we've been out here long enough for the sun to change it's position.

"You're the Banana King, Tachiee!" He whispers to me in awe.

I must say, I too and rather stocked about this.

"I'm the mother fucking Banana King!"
