Vampire and the Priest

I was not intending to write this story at all, as I really want to finish off the stories that I have started and that Yondaime has been in my head for these two weeks already, telling me to write the most disturbing smug that I have ever thought of…. Sigh… man, seems your son is better at persuasions, Gome-nasai, hotoni, Yondaime- sama… please forgive me and enjoyed this fiction, which I got hold of the idea when I was talking to the people on the NaruKaka forum on baidu (a chinese website).

As always, nothing technically belongs to me other than the story line and whatever I have type below. Sigh

A bright sunny day, in a village in the vallery

A man who was wearing a long, black priest gown walking towards the white painted church at the edge of the village, right in front of entrance to the forest. As it was a really warm day, the man put down his brown coloured and rather torn suitcase on the ground, so that he could free his hand to wipe the sweat away from his face.

As he took of his black hat, his golden hair exposed under the sun and it was as bright as the highest quality gold one have ever seen. He bent down and fletch a canteen from a cotton bag that was tied along with his suitcase. He has a quick slip and then passed the metal can to the orange fox-like creature that was on his shoulder.

The fox drank from the bottle without question and wipe its mouth with one of its nine tails. "Hurry up," it ordered in its hoarse voice, "it's only 10 more minutes walk and I can't wait to get inside."

"Hai," the priest replied, while he took out a notebook from his jacket pocket leisurely. "I am slightly nervous, Kurama, as this is my first solo mission… It's alright to travel with Asuma or Gai sensei as they know almost every Reverend in the world, don't know whether they will think I am too young…"

"Tch," the fox replied, "Sarutobi send you out alone means that he has faith in you, be more confident and, come on," it hit the man's head with its tail, "get going now, I can't stay any longer under the sun."

"Hai hai…" the priest took up his belongings and continued his journey. The village was peaceful and the villagers were friendly as he received a few gentle nods as he made his way though the centre of the village.

As the fox said, he reached the metal gate of the church within 15 minutes and he pushed it open gently. Since it was only a small village inside the valley, the church was rather small, even though it was carefully maintained as the white paint reflected the sun light graciously. The garden was also maintained delicately as there were flowers as well as butterflies. He approached the front door steadily and stopped as the fox pulled his hair. "What is it, Kurama?"

One of the fox tail pointed at one of the tree along the stone path. The priest looked up and there was a man sitting on one of the branch, holding a bright orange covered book and looking at them. He was wondering why the fox stopped him, as there was nothing wrong with a man sitting there since the church was opened to public and everyone was free to stay as long as they wished.

Before he could raise his question, the fox spoke, "Kakashi."

The man saluted casually, "yo, Kurama. How's thing going?"

The fox did not reply and jumped towards the tree and landed 20 cm away from the man's feet. "I am fine. How's An-san?"

"He is very well, thank you," the man, Kakashi replied and then turned his gaze from the fox to the priest who was standing below them.

The priest looked at his companion first and then turned his attention to the man, where their gaze met. He withdrew his gaze quickly and redness flushed his face slowly.

Kurama smirked, but broke the ice, nonetheless, "Naruto, this is Kakashi, Sasaki Hatake Kakashi. You remember the silver hair man that visit Sarutobi every year?"

The priest, Naruto tilted his head and thought, "ano… that man is called Dark or something like that, right?"

Kakashi chuckled, "please don't let An-nii hear this. He will definitely shred you into pieces."

Kurama dropped his head as he tried to hide his smile, and found it interesting to see the priest face gone white, "Naruto! That guy is Sasaki An, the leader of the clan; and they are vampires."

"Vampires!" Naruto cried and pulled his dagger out, "so this is the one that we need to deal with, Kurama?"

Kakashi looked at the fox, pulling an expression of 'have you actually taught the boy properly;' and then turned to the man, "don't you know that we, Sasaki are friend of Konoha?"

"It sounds familiar… But I am not good at academic studies, Iruka sensei always said if my focus on books is as good as my physical skills, then I will be as clever as Shikamaru."

Kakashi chuckled as he closed his book. Then, he swung himself down, with his legs acted like a hood and grasped the branch. As he was upside down, his silver hair fell under the gravitational field. He leaned forward and sniffed, "you smells delicious," he stated. Without the presence of the Kyuubi, Kakashi could finally detect Naruto's true scent; the scent that he has missed for a long while. He cursed the Kyuubi secretly as then now he realised why he did not manage to find his love for all these years. He could not resist but licked the face in front of him, outline the whisker marks with his pink tongue.

Naruto jumped rapidly and covered his face with his left hand, face reddened, "what are you doing?"

"Didn't you just hear that I am a vampire, Ekusoshisuto kun? If you don't mind, can I have you as lunch?" Kakashi grinned, still with his body upside down.

Before Naruto could get his cross from his pocket, Kurama poked the vampire with its tail, "please don't tease him, Kakashi. And Naruto," it rolled its eyes, "cross is no use for a vampire like Kakashi." It jumped down from the tree and moved towards the church, "stop embarrassing yourself and I need to rest now. Kakashi, jai-na." Although it actually did not want to encounter the said vampire again, it doubted that it would be their last, as from the vampire's eyes, it knew that his young protégé was the vampire's latest target.

Since Kurama started walking off without him, Naruto decided to follow, but was stopped as a figure shoot out from the soil like an enormous tree.

Naruto was shocked and dropped his suitcase as the 'tree' spoke, "Kakashi- senpai, An- sama is looking for you. You are late again!"

"Ma…" Kakashi ruffled the tree's black hair gently, "I don't think An-nii will mind my absence. Besides, Tenzo, it's too sunny for me to leave."

"Mataku…" the said tree, Tenzo mumbled, "I know you are fully capable to leave this place without burning your skin." But he opened his arms, and expecting his senpai to drop. "We really need to get going, senpai."

"Hai hai," Kakashi let him fell down freely as he was confident that Tenzo would able to grab him faultlessly. He turned to Naruto; "I guess I will see you around then, Ekusoshisuton, iie, Naruto."
