This One Day
AN: Hey guys! Second part of my series, still don't have a name for it yet. This one story is one whole day of Anko's birthday party. There will be different perspective on hand and not only 3rd person. Hope you guys like it!
Chapter 1: Preparations
After yesterday night Anko was still sleeping happily in her comfy bed. Kakashi on the other hand was going around the town looking for things that Anko likes to give to Anko for her birthday.
Kakashi's POV:
I was making my way to my favourite book store, Reading Paradise, when Kurenai and Asuma came to me.
"Hey Kakashi, you look different," Asuma chuckled.
I blinked once but didn't open my mouth; Kurenai looked to where I was standing and what stores were ahead. She smiled at me and then told Asuma as he slouches to hear his girlfriend. He looked up to me and nodded. Kurenai and Asuma swiftly left me dumbfounded.
I was walking to the book store, not too far from where I was originally, the memorial stone. I go to the memorial stone every morning if I can to pay tribute to my friends and my sensei. I would usually stand there remembering the past for around 30 minutes, but this time I stood there for almost an hour, which surprised me.
I was walking normally as I do. Usually girls would look at me and laugh or blush when I look back. It wasn't much different but I think my hair and cast sure made a different impression on me. Girls from all ages would come up to me and say, "Hi." Which surprises me, but the funny part is that the guys looked like they were about to kill me for impressing that many girls.
An attractive girl walked up to me and winked. Today was my day off so I have a T-shirt on with a checkered tie –too look nice for Anko-, some black dress pants and just shinobi sandals. She grabbed my tie and said, "Hello, I am Ami," she took another step closer to me and looked into my eyes. I looked back into her eyes and found nothing.
I pushed her away and said, "I got to go meet my girlfriend."
I made it to the book store only minutes later, to walk into a group of girls. They looked like they were about my age, but I wasn't too interested as I should be. I slowly tried to slip by without them catching my eye; I am a shinobi so it didn't prove to be too difficult.
I went to the "adult section" to look for my favourite series. I found Iruka standing there reading the porn magazines, but surprisingly he didn't get a nose bleed. He looked up once and spotted me quickly.
"Hey Kakashi, wanna buy me this?" He said handing me the magazine.
"No man, you're only 17. When you turn 18 in three months then you buy it," I explained.
"But that's not fair! Why do you get to read porn books and I don't?" Iruka asked slyly.
"Because they aren't porn books and I am 18," I said proudly going back to my searching.
I saw that Iruka gave me a nasty look by the corner of my eyes. He placed back the magazine and left mumbling some curse words.
After a few minutes, I picked out the right book for Anko, Vol. 1 Camp Night Surprise, from the Icha Icha series. Now it was my turn to go to the Dango stand and waste at least half my savings on dangos.
I made my way to the Dango stand and found Kurenai there, alone. She caught me and started running towards me.
"Hey Kakashi, what did you get Anko?" Kurenai asked trying to look for a bag.
I scratched the back of my head and said calmly, "Nothing."
She looked furious; she went and slapped me on the arm. "WHY DIDN'T YOU GET ANKO ANYTHING?" She yelled at the top of her lungs.
This caused everyone to stare at us. I smiled and pushed Kurenai to the side. I kept smiling and said, "Remember when we were on that mission?"
Kurenai nodded, trying to process what is happening.
"And how we would sit beside each other during the night?"
"Yeah," Kurenai said slowly.
I pulled out the book and showed her. She started to get pale as I explained, "She likes these books, so I got her one."
"And what if she doesn't like it?" Kurenai asked me.
"Then I keep it," I said smiling.
"And why are you at the Dango stand? You don't like sweets."
"Because I have more to get her," I responded.
Kurenai stood there and smiled at me and said, "Go on, I'm going to meet Asuma."
I smiled and started to walk away, waving. I went to order until Asuma popped up out of nowhere and said, "Hello Kakashi."
I sighed and just stood there, waiting for an explanation for the disturbance.
"So do you like anyone?" He asked me slowly.
"Why do you care?" I responded calmly.
"Because I'm your best friend," He answered happily.
"Fine, yes I do."
"Do what?" He asked confused.
"I do like someone," I sighed.
"And that is?"
"A girl," I responded quickly.
"No shit, which girl though?"
"She's pretty special," I explained.
"Who?" he asked now more frustrated.
I looked around to make sure no one was listening, and I whispered slowly, "Mitarashi Anko"
He looked at me, with a happy look on his face. I might like Anko; I'm not going to ask her out. For one reason, I can't lose another person I will love. It's just too much to bear for me. He slowly turned around and started running off. I once again stood there dumbfounded by other actions. I just shrugged it off and continued walking.
"Two dozen dangos please," I requested.
He stood here now, dumbfounded by the amount I ordered. I don't know why because I remember Anko ordering way more.
"Sir, do you know how much dangos that is?" He asked me.
I nodded my head and handed him the exact change. I took the dangos and I was off to one more stop. I looked at my stop watch I had in my pocket, it read 10am. Now time to get a bracelet for Anko.
"Hello sir, what may I do for you?" The cashier asked me.
"Can you make me a custom bracelet?" I asked.
He nodded then lead me into the back room. He sat me down on the other side of the table and looked at me.
"So, what do you imagine it to be?" He asked me.
I shrugged trying to think of something, creative. I thought even more and more, "A basic bracelet, engraved with a message."
He nodded and got a closer look at me, "That can do, but with a price. Also aren't you the genius Hatake Kakashi, the son of the Konaha's white fang?"
I nodded.
He then sat down on the other, got out a pen and paper and handed to me, "Mr. Hatake, please write what you want on the bracelet."
I took the pen and I started writing. After an hour wait for it to finish I notice it was already 11am, which was around the time I should get Anko. I said thanks, paid the guy for the bracelet and left calmly.
I started to walk down the main street of the Konaha, the quickest route to Anko's apartment. It wasn't as busy as normal but there were a couple of people around the streets. I reached into my pockets and pulled out my book, "Vol.4 One apartment one stay"
The girls passed me with a disgusting look on their faces. Guys past by me with a smirk or gave me a pat on the back.
"People surely don't know me enough," I whispered out loud.
Surprisingly after I said that, I felt a pat on me back. I turned around and found Genma behind my back. (AN: Genma is older than Kakashi by two years!)
"Hey kid, already on the fourth one?" Genma asked me.
"Yes, I am. Where is Shizune?" I asked slowly.
"Ah, she's working with Tsunade about this "poison." I don't know where they got it from… but where is Ayame?"
"I don't like Ayame," I stated.
"Then who do you like? Ayame is crazy for you kid and she's pretty sexy," Genma said patting my back as we walk along.
"I know she is which makes it kind of creepy. Also, I am not telling who I like," I sighed.
He slapped me behind the head and asked, "Why not kid?"
I reached Anko's apartment minutes after. Before I can answer Genma I have already darted off and yelled, "I'll tell you later!"
AN: Next chapter out soon! Hope you guys like this second part of the series, maybe four chapters in this one.
