AN: Yes, I posted chapters one and two together.
That doesn't mean you are allowed to skip on reviewing.


Chapter 2 – Banter (KakaSaku)

"Kakashi, I need a nine letter word for 'duration of service.'"

"Longevity."

Sakura spun around in her chair and looked at him with suspicious eyes.

"You cheater. You did this crossword before me, didn't you?"

Sighing, Kakashi grabbed the newspaper from Sakura's grip and turned to the cover page. He held it up to Sakura, a subtle smirk adorning his lips.

"Okay, Sakura, mind telling me the date of this paper?"

"Today's date, of course."

"So, if the paper was printed today, and it was delivered less than ten minutes ago, how could I have done the crossword before you?"

"Well," She started, sticking the pen in her mouth, "You could've used your elite shinobi skills to break into the newspaper printing office, look at the papers before they were delivered, and complete the crossword puzzle!"

"Your logic is stunning."

Looking proud of herself, Sakura went back to her crossword. Kakashi pinched the bridge of his nose and prayed to whatever kami was around that Sakura wouldn't ask for any more help.

"Hey, 'Kashi."

Wincing at the sound of the terrible nickname she occasionally used for him, he turned around to face her.

"Yes, Sakura?"

"What does 'longevity' even mean?"

"Duration of service?"

"Don't give me some dictionary answer, you know what I mean. Use it in a sentence or something."

"It's in your best interests that the longevity of your silence is lengthy."

Sakura turned to look at Kakashi, glaring daggers.

"I'm going to give you a few seconds to rethink that sentence."

A kunai slightly grazed Kakashi's thigh. He glanced at Sakura, who was spinning another kunai around her finger.

"The longevity of my love for you is bound to be infinite."


AN: I would love to tell you that chapter three is already finished and waiting to be posted, but it's not.
Actually, it's not even drafted yet.
Hey, I've got an idea! How about you post any prompt word you'd like in a review along with a mood you'd like it to be set in.
It should go something like this:
"Hey, Katie, I've got a really good prompt word for you! My prompt word is 'sponge' and I want it to be angsty!"

(Note that I will not be writing any fics about an angsty sponge. You're not allowed to use my example.)
