...K..A..K..A../..N..A..R..U...

It's been a long and hard my self-imposed mission to save Sasuke, but it's finally over. So I should be happy right? Who cares that it took me five years to get him back after that stupid promise I had made to Sakura? I mean shouldn't everyone, including myself, be happy? The quick and short answer to that would be no.

No I am not happy that my mission is over. Kind of happy that the Teme is back, but not that it's over. Shit, what am I supposed to do now? I know that being Hokage is not an option. I am after all, the 'demon'. The Elders would make sure I never saw that dream come true. Hell they wouldn't even let me carry my father's last name, so I wouldn't and couldn't 'tarnish' the great Yondaime Hokage's name. What complete and utter crap. I would give my old man an ear full if he hadn't died sealing Kyuubi in me.

The town is celebrating Sasuke's return, well isn't that just peachy keen, of course I am not welcome, no I am actually frowned upon due to how I brought him back. I thought it was quite inventive, even if I do say so myself. I didn't even have to break a limb, which I thought everyone would be proud of, all I did was grab his ear like a schoolteacher and literally dragged him back home. Like I said, inventive, right?

So now, here I am sitting on top of my father's head, depressed and tired wondering what to do next. Maybe I should become a missing-nin, no because then all the Elder's would do is send out a hunting squad with orders to kill on sight. Don't think I should trust my luck or skills that much. Oh well, at least I still have my missions, though I don't like my next mission.

Sighing and looking to the stars I never noticed Kakashi-Sensei walking up on me until he sat down next to me. 'Oh joy, I wonder what he's come to torture me about.' I think to myself.

"They are beautiful aren't they?" I turn and give him a confused look. "The Stars." He clarifies.

"Yeah, I suppose they are."

"You should be happy."

"Why?" I ask bluntly. "Because my whole purpose in training and everything these past five years have lead to me sitting alone and shunned again?"

He tilts he head to the side looking slightly confused. "You certainly do not appear to be alone right now."

I get his point and nod.

"Are you still worried over what everyone thinks of you?" he asks bluntly. Unless it has to do with a mission he does not do subtle well.

"I have to worry about what they think of me Kakashi-Sensei, my well being depends solely on how they are feeling towards me at the moment."

"Naruto, I've really had enough of your sulking." The anger was apparent in his voice and actions as he grabbed my hand and yanks me over his knee and pulls down my pants. Just what the fuck does he think he's doing?

"Maybe this will get your attention!" Whack Needless to say I am more than a little stunned when his hand meets my bare rear end.

"Look at those around you." Whack 'Look at me.'

"Feel how much they need you." Whack 'Feel how much I need you.'

"Understand how much they love you" Whack 'Understand how much I love you.'

" I whack will whack get this whack through your whack thick skull whack One way or another" Whack-whack-whack I am seriously believing my ass is fixing to light up the sky if nothing else.

"Let me go Kakashi-sensei!" I yell as I squirm on his lap.

Seriously my ass hurts, I would rather tell Sakura she has the flattest chest in all of Konoha than for this to continue. He pulls me up and grasps my face, ass still bare for all the world to see, ok so not the world but at least all of Konoha, and if it looks anything like it feels, they would not be needing any lights tonight.

"I will not let you go, ever. Don't you get it yet?" he whispers as he leans his forehead to mine.

I close my eyes and sigh softly, "What are you taking about?"

"Baka, I love you." He tells me while pulling me into a hug.

This I cannot handle, hitting and yelling are better than this because I know, "Chikishou, I do not feel like being Arashi's replacement for you."

I also was not prepared for his reaction. I fully expected him to at the very least look away, not laugh! "I loved Arashi like you love Iruka. As a father figure possibly a brother figure, nothing more, nothing less. You may have his looks, but I have also watched you grow from a clumsy and loud child to a very handsome, smart, and brave young man. I only see Uzumaki Naruto when I look at you, not your father."

I stand up and pull up my pants as I walk away from him. Wincing slightly because, yes my ass still hurts. "You've had your fun Kakashi, please leave me alone."

"You think I am joking?" Kakashi asks with hurt evident in his voice.

"How can I not think that? After all who could ever bring themselves to love a demon?" I said dejectedly. The slap that followed those words rang clear in the night. I am now convinced of at least one thing, Kakashi has a sadistic streak in him. A very wide and long sadistic streak at that.

"Do not let me ever hear you call yourself a demon again. Do you understand me? Damn it Naruto, you are so much more than you are giving yourself credit for. Look at all the lives you have changed. 'Look at how much you changed my life' Why can't you see what you have and what you have done, not only for the Konoha but for some of the other villages as well?" He asked sincerely.

"Maybe I can't see because I am always being told the opposite of what you just told me!" I yell, all of my frustration and anger coming out at this point, I just don't care. "I can't even walk down the street without being looked at like I'm something nasty the dog brought in. Yes, there are a few people who see the opposite, mostly my peers, though even they would rather not have anything to do with me. Tell me something Kakashi, how long would it take for them to start refusing to go on missions with me if they knew I housed the Kyuubi? How long would it take for me to be alone again?"

"You won't be alone again. You have me; I will always be here. Iruka knows, so does Sakura and I don't see them fleeing in terror or giving you the cold shoulder."

"I know, though perhaps they would live better lives if they did. Look I need to go and think, just give me some time, please, and when I come back, perhaps I will be able to talk to you. Bye Kakashi." I say softly before heading out to the forest.
