Naruto froze, looking at Kakashi. He was silent for a second, not really sure if this was the real one or just a clone. ".. How do I know that you're the real one?" he asked, making sure his voice sounded confident. If this did turn out to be the real Kakashi, then he knew he would have lost.

"well how do I know your the real you?" Kakashi's clone stared him dead in the eye. It was a really good clone not a single flaw. It also acted and sounded just like Kakashi. "so how can we probe we are who we say we are" the clone laughed. "I'll just wait three hours and if you don't disappear then I guess it's you." Kakashi had a lot of patience, but he knew Naruto couldn't last an hour in the same spot. It was another way to tell if this was a clone. So he waited some more.

Naruto frowned. He didn't want to wait three hours. Standing in one spot was bound to drive him crazy. He could just take the defeat... After all, all he would have to do was wear a a pirate outfit for two hours. It wasn't really that bad. So he sighed and crossed his arms. "Fine. I give up. I'm the real Naruto."

The real Kakashi jumped on him very quickly and the clone Vanished. He knew Naruto had to be starving. Even he was hungrey. He stood up. "let's go get some ramen. I'll buy you five bowls if you want." Kakashi hadn't had breakfast this morning and was dying to get his mitts on some hot, fresh ramen. His stomach growled. He was glad he brought pleanty of money. He thought he could eat about three bowls himself.

Naruto perked up instantly at the mention of ramen. A smile formed on his face and he nodded enthusiastically as his various clones disappeared. "Alright! Let's go!" he said. Just the mention of food made his stomach growl and he couldn't wait to start eating.

When the got to the ramen stand he ordered five bowls for Naruto and two for himself. He was careful to eat so Naruto still couldn't see his face. He finished the two bowls very quickly and ask the ramen man for two more. Kakashi was a regular costumer at the ramen bar and had never eaten more than one bowl "Having a growth spurt of something Kakashi?" the ramen man said this while cocking an eyebrow curiously."I'm not a little boy I don't have growth spurts" Kakashi rolled his eyes. He ate the two bowls of ramen and sighed contently. "that was so good. Hey Naruto, you wanna come to my house and hang out or something?" he wanted to spend even more time with Naruto if he wasn't busy. He hadn't even told Sakura and Sasuke he was back yet, but It could wait.

Naruto was almost bouncing in his seat at just the thought of eating ramen with Kakashi. It wasn't very often that he had the chance for this so he was going to enjoy it for as long as he could. Besides, this could be a good chance for him to see what's behind Kakashi's mask. But of course, that attempt quickly vanished. So Naruto focused on eating the delicious ramen placed in front of him. He paused in mid-bite on his last bowl when he heard Kakashi's offer. He wanted to.. hang out? That was odd.... Naruto didn't think he's ever been to his sensei's house before, so of course he'd want to take the chance to see it. "Sure~ Sounds good to me." he said, smiling lightly.

Yes! Kakashi thought to himself. He got up."come on let's start walking." Kakashi knew he needed to be careful. He was acting suspicious. He really didn't want Naruto to know just how much he liked him. He turned a little pink at the thought of Naruto at his house. He wanted to squeal with happiness. His emotions were so high today. He felt like he was going to bust from happiness and his like, no love for Naruto. He been forgot to read his book on the way home.

Naruto nodded and finished up the last bite of his ramen before jumping up and following after Kakashi. He was curious as to why he had been invited to go to the older man's house, but he found that he really didn't care. He was just excited to finally get the chance to see where he lived. He glanced curiously at Kakashi, surprised to see that he wasn't reading book like he normally did. He wanted to ask about it, but didn't want to lose his chance of going to Kakashi's house. So he pushed the question to the back of his mind. "So.. Do the others know you're back yet?" he asked.

"hmm?" Kakashi looked at him "o.. No not yet..I just wanted to spend some one on one time with you first. I'll tell them tomorrow." he paused for a second "hey, Naruto? Don't tell the others but your my favorite." Kakashi winked at Naruto.

Naruto raised an eyebrow curiously, though he was pleased to know that Kakashi had wanted to spend some time with him. It had always seemed that Naruto was the person that Kakashi didn't want to be alone with. But hearing that he was Kakashi's favorite was a surprise. "Really? I never knew that."

"Yep, I may not have let you know it in the past but you are. I just don't want the others to know. I just missed you so much." Kakashi looked at Naruto and blushed. He really was cute. "So what ya wanna do when we get to my place?" Kakashi didn't really have anything planed. He also knew he had to change the subject.

Naruto glanced at Kakashi curiously still. Was he... blushing? That was odd. Maybe he just remembered something embarrassing? Or... Or.... something else? He wasn't sure. He shrugged lightly and turned his attention back to where he was walking. "I don't know. What have you got to do?" he asked.

"We could watch a movie or something." Kakashi could feel his face was really hot. He must've been almost purple he was blushing so much! "Naruto, do you like guys or girls?" Kakashi knew this was a suspicious question, but he'd rake his chances.

"A movie sounds fine." Naruto said, nodding. He wondered for a moment what type of movies Kakashi would own when he froze in mid-step at the question. He forced his body to keep moving though. "I don't know. I haven't really thought about it. Why?"

Kakashi shrugged like it was nothing "Just curious" he kept walking. He hoped Naruto wouldn't question him further. He didn't think Naruto would be comfortable alone with him if he knew his sexual preference. He noticed he wasnt reading and pulled out his book. He couldn't really focus on it though "what kind of movies do you like Naruto?" Kakashi had a little of everything and wanted to know what stash to pull out.

Naruto thought for a moment, glad that Kakashi wasn't asking any more questions.... Mostly because he didn't know how to answer them. "Well... I like action movies!" he exclaimed, glad for the change of questions. "Or comedies." he added. As much as he loved the movies that had him sitting on the edge of his seat, he was always glad to sit down and enjoy a good movie that could make him laugh.

Kakashi smiled. They were at his house. It was small with only one bedroom and a bath. It had a kitchen and a living room with a couch and a flatscreen. He pointed to a organizer. "the drawers are labeled by movie type. Your welcome to look through them and chose." Kakashi's house was very clean. Everything was organized and labeled with it's own spot in the house.

Naruto looked around Kakashi's house, amazed. It was a lot nicer than his house, that was for sure. But that was probably because the house Naruto had was one where he was given just so he had a place to live. It was small, with only two rooms and a small bathroom. He scanned over the movie titles and grabbed one that caught his attention.

Kakashi sat on the couch and watched Naruto. "What do you want to do tomorrow?" Kakashi wondered if Naruto would feel up to doing something fun. "by the way, you don't have to wear the pirate costume. I just said that to get you motivated." in truth Kakashi just didn't want to waste two hours he could be doing something fun with his student. "I'm gonna go change clothes ok?" he told Naruto. He went in his room and slipped into his pjs. It was almost eight o clock and he didn't plan on going any where else. He left his mask on. Sitting back Kakashi snuggled into the couch and covered himself in a soft, fuzzy blanket.

Naruto shrugged as he sat on the couch. "I don't know. I was thinking of seeing if Sakura wanted to train with me." he said, watching Kakashi leave the room. He was surprised to see his sensei in pajamas, but he figured it was better than sleeping in the nude. That would have been awkward.

Kakashi's pajamas were blue with little Kunui knifves all over them. He knew that having pajamas like these was probably too obsesive but he didn't really care. He liked his job. He pulled off his head protector and put in a brown colored contact in his sharigan eye. He was almost tempted to remove the mask but decided against it. If he did that it might seem strange. Besides, he liked being a mystery. If no one knew what he looked like, they couldn't call him ugly. Simple as that. "Have you picked a movie yet?"

Naruto had half-way expected Kakashi to take his mask off as well, since he appeared to be getting ready for bed. But he didn't comment on why he didn't. He nodded and leaned back against the couch and held the movie up. "Yeah. I picked this one. Is that okay?" he asked.

Kakashi nodded and popped in the movie. He cut out the lights. "Do you mind if I take of this mask?" Kakashi looked to see if Naruto was okay with it. "I mean, it's much more comfortable without it"

It took a lot for Naruto not to jump and shout his answer when he heard what Kakashi asked. He took a breath to calm his sudden nerves of actually being able to see his sensei without his mask and nodded. "Go ahead. I don't mind." he said, glad that he had succeeded in keeping his voice calm.
