Hey, cool! Lots of readers and some good reviews! And don't worry, Hinata/Naruto lovers. Your time shall come.
Lets see... I wonder how badly things will go for Kakashi?
Very badly, probably...
And when discussing the date, should I use "Kakashi" or the name of his assumed persona? Either one works well for me, but what would you prefer?
Kakashi had transformed into Naruto and met Sakura at the Ramen shop just as the sun began to set. The real Naruto decided to watch from a distance via a pair of binoculars. Kakashi knew that things would either go great, or horrid. But one thing was for sure: It would be a long evening.
"So, how was your day?" Sakura asked as she sat down at the counter and put her bookbag on the floor.
"Meh, pretty good..." Kakashi/Naruto shrugged as he took the seat next to her. "You?"
"Alright..." Sakura replied. "I wonder what Sasuke and Kakashi are up to?"
"Sasuke's probably moaping and/or brooding," Kakashi grinned, "And Kakashi is probably off being a hero while reading his book."
"That sounds about right..." Sakura giggled.
"Your meal," the chef placed two large bowls of Ramen on the counter.
"Sweet!" Kakashi was fitting the part of Naruto rather well.
"You and your Ramen..." Sakura rolled her eyes.
"What can I say?" Kakashi grinned as he shovelled noodles into his mouth. "This stuff rocks!"
"Yeah, but you kinda go overboard sometimes..." Sakura pointed at his already empty bowl.
"Yeah..." Kakashi burped. Apparently, he could put away Ramen just as well as Naruto. That was a scary thought. "Are you saying I'm an addict or something?"
"No," Sakura shook her head. "And addict would be Kakashi-sensei and his books."
Kakashi arched a brow. "How so?"
"All he ever does is read!" Sakura replied. "I don't see how he can stand those books... You aren't into that sort of thing, are you?"
"Oh, no!" Kakashi forced himself to deny his one true love.
"Good..." Sakura decided to return her attention to her meal.
The meal progressed rather normally after that. Kakashi ate several more bowls, Sakura ranted on about how Sasuke was just misunderstood or something, and Naruto watched with a grin from afar. But then, Kakashi noticed something interesting.
"What's that?" Kakashi's wandering eyes caught sight of the corner of a bright orange book jutting slightly from Sakura's bookbag.
"Huh?" Sakura looked over at him. "What's what?"
"This..." Kakashi leaned down and plucked the book from her bookbag.
"AH, PUT THAT BACK!!!" Sakura exclaimed.
"Woah," was all Kakashi could say. His eyes nearly fell out of his head when he saw what was in his hand. It was a copy of Make-Out Paradise. One of the best books in the Icha Icha series. One of the books she'd just been bad-mouthing Kakashi about.
"I SAID PUT THAT BACK!!!" she growled.
Kakashi mentally grinned. "Isn't this the same sort of book Kakashi-sensei reads?" he asked innocently.
"Yes! I mean no! Arrrghhh!" she tugged at her hair. "Just put it back!"
"Why do you have it?" Kakashi enquired.
"Uh..." Sakura thought for a moment, "Kakashi-sensei left in class the other day. I've been meaning to return it!"
'Lie,' Kakashi thought. Then he noticed something else. "Then why's there a reciept?" he plucked a small piece of paper from the book.
Sakura turned red. Whether from anger or embarrassment, it was hard to tell. "NARUTOOOOO!!!!!" she screamed.
"What?" he handed her the book back. "I'm just asking. I mean, if you read it, there's nothing to be ashamed of."
"GRRRRR!!!!" she yanked the book out of his hands and held it up in the air. Just as she was about to hit him with it, she froze. "Eh?" she shot him a quizical look.
"If you like it, then there's no reason to be ashamed. Why should you care?" Kakashi/Naruto shrugged. "I mean, look at Kakashi-sensei! He walks around with his head stuck in those books, and he doesn't care what people think! Their opinions mean nothing to him, and nor should they to you! So you should enjoy your books without a care in the world!"
Sakura simply stared at him. Then she sighed. "I guess you're right..."
"Of course I am!" Kakashi grinned.
"I'm still not reading them in public like Kakashi-sensei does..." she stated as she stuffed the book back into her backpack. "That's just wierd."
"Meh, to each his own..." Kakashi shrugged.
And so, they continued the dinner and finished their meals. Kakashi paid the bill, of course, since Sakura had no ways of affording the massive amount of Ramen he'd eaten. And so, as the shop began to close up, they bid each other farewell.
"Bye, Sakura!" Kakashi waved as he turned to leave.
"Wait!" Once again, she called out to him and made him stop.
"Huh?" Kakashi walked back over to her. "Yeah?"
"Hey, Naruto..." she whispered in his ear, "Want to come back to my place?"
Kakashi's brain nearly exploded out of shock and confusion. He went pale, and began to sweat profusely. "Uh... what?"
"Do you want to come back to my place?" she winked.
"Uh..." Kakashi's mind scrambled to think of a reply. What would Naruto say? Oh. Duh. "Sure!"
"Excellent..." she purred.
"Just hold on one second!" Kakashi held up his hands. "I need to go take care of something!" And with that, he did some handsigns and dissappeared in a puff of smoke.
Meanwhile, Naruto was still watching the scene through his binoculars. He didn't know what they were saying, though. Suddenly, Kakashi dissappeared from view and appeared right next to him. "Woah!" Naruto exclaimed in shock. "Oh, hi! How'd it go?"
Kakashi returned to his original form. As always, the space between his mask and headband only allowed a small amount of his face to be shown. But now this space was almost completely filled by his greatly enlarged eye, and the flesh that was still visable looked as pale as death. "UMMMM..."
"What?" Naruto arched an eyebrow.
"Okay... uh... well, for one thing, she likes the Icha Icha book series..." Kakashi stammered.
"Oh? Well, so do I..." Naruto shrugged.
"What?" Kakashi arched his eyebrow. Why were his students suddenly becoming closet-perverts? Oh well, back to the topic at hand. "And... uh... she wants you to go back to her place with her."
"She what?!" Naruto jumped to his feet. "What did you say?!"
"I said what I thought you'd say..." Kakashi shrugged.
"Yes?!" Naruto grinned. "AWSOME!!!!"
"Yes, awsome..." Kakashi agreed sarcastically. "So now you need to-"
Naruto was already gone.
I know, it was disturbing. But it was funny! And funny is good, no matter how disturbing it is!
Anyway, the next chapter will be Sakura x Sasuke. And believe me, this chapter is nowhere near as screwed up as that one will be.
Review, please!
