INTERTWINED

Ch 2: Dancing in the moonlight

Drying his hair and then slipping on some clothes, Kakashi gets ready to go to Sakura's apartment. He sees his favorite cologne 'seduction' and thinks.

It wouldn't hurt to put a little on.

He puts some on, grabs his wallet, and of course, one of his favorite books, and shuts his door.


"Kakashi-sensei! Why are you always late for everything!?" Sakura yells as she answered the door. He showed up at 9:45 when the original time was 8:30. "Yeah, about that, I was taking the trash out when this old lady asked me to bring her groceries to her apartment, but she had so many things that it took me awhile." Sakura waves her fists and points at him, "You're such a freakin' liar!" Then they both thought at the same time.

Some things never change……


"Sakura, where are we going, I never knew of a Raman shop outside the village." Kakashi said. Sakura smirked and said, "Well, if you were here more often, you would know that there's a new place that has opened for business." "What's it called?" "The moonlight noodle, because it's only open once the sun goes down." By then Kakashi was unaware that she was still talking. Tonight, she had on a denim mini skirt with a light pink blouse to match her hair, and some nice dancing shoes. It made her look younger, though it wouldn't have been necessary for his opinion, but he loved it all just the same. He looked at little longer and felt something at his nose.

What is this? Blood? Am I that bad?

He was glad that he had a mask on because that would have been extremely embarrassing to him. He didn't even notice that Sakura stopped and he almost ran into her. She said, "Here we are." He looked and saw a beautiful surrounding; the restaurant was an outdoors one and had a dancing floor in the center. With cherry blossoms surrounding the entire area that even the slightest breeze could give you a rainfall of petals, and a glowing full moon shined down on the place. Along with the lanterns and candles, the place had a romantic glow. "This place looks more like a dance club than a restaurant." Kakashi said.

"Yeah, it kind of is, but you can order food here, and they got a bar. This is my new favorite place to go." He looked at Sakura, and then said, "Well then, I guess we can't leave, can we?" He smiled and found an empty table in the back. Once they got there food and drinks (beers), Kakashi said, "So, have you heard from anyone in awhile?" Sakura looked up and said, "Yeah, believe it or not, I do actually visit Naruto every once in a while, I see the rest on the gang every so often, but nothings change pretty much." "How's Naruto doing?" "Oh, he has changed a lot physically, but not on the inside, he's just as clueless as ever, but he's more powerful too, I would hope so since we're both jounins now." Kakashi nodded in agreement and stared at the cherry blossoms. "What's wrong?" Sakura asked worriedly. Kakashi sighed and said, "I love cherry blossoms, they're so beautiful and graceful. To me, if you wanted to tell someone that you love them, you'd give them a cherry blossom." Sakura looked at the moon and said, "I don't know, I kind of like the moon more." Kakashi looked at her and asked, "Why?" She replied, "The moon to me seems mysterious and breath taking all at the same time, and I think it's romantic when the moon glitters upon the water's surface at night." He felt his heart swell up with that annoying feeling he knew he could never have with her, love.

Just realizing something, Sakura squealed, "Oh! Kakashi-sensei! Do you want to dance?!" His eyes widened.

Oh God, what do I do!? What do I do?!

"Sorry Sakura, I'm not the dancing type." Sakura seemed a little disappointed, but said, "Oh, it's all right, I'll just dance for a little while then." She got up and walked to the dance floor. He pulled out his book and started to read, but every time Sakura wasn't looking, he watched her. A man sat down beside Kakashi and said, half-drunk, "Why did you let a piece of ass like that go?" Kakashi was getting pissed, but of course since he was the master of self-control, he simply said, "It's none of your business what I do and don't do."

And because I wouldn't be able to handle the pressure of Sakura dancing and touching me.

The man hiccuped and slurred, "Well, if you won't do anything about it I wi-" He was immediately cut off when he fell flat on his face trying to get up and passed out. Looking at the passed out drunken man in disgust, he didn't notice Sakura coming towards him and pulling on his arm. He turned around and saw Sakura's face covered in little droplets of sweat and green eyes glistening in the moonlight.

Oh shit… …

He felt his pants tightening and scooted more towards the table before Sakura noticed. "Kakashi-sensei, please come dance with me, I look so stupid dancing by myself." He saw the puppy face start to form.

Awe man, anything but the puppy face.

The puppy face was in full form when she said, "Please, Kakashi-sensei."

How am I supposed to argue with such a cute face?

"Alright Sakura, but just one dance." That was all she needed as she yanked him from the chair and pulled him to the dance floor. As soon as walked onto the floor, an upbeat dance song came into play. As Sakura started dancing, Kakashi was caught into a trance until Sakura said, "Come on Kakashi-sensei, dance." Now, Kakashi never told anyone, but he was a professional dancer, especially when it came to romantic dancing, but he was still good at this kind of dancing as well. Before he knew it, he was dancing to the beat and people started to gather around and cheer him on. Lost in the moment, Kakashi and Sakura were duet dancing, in exact timing with one another. Once the song was over, they got an applause and the crowd started to scatter. Then a slow beat song came on and Sakura was dancing in his arms.

Oh man, she's so close I can smell her perfume.

His fingers started to twitch uncontrollably and were making their way down her back, but he pushed her away before things got out of hand. "Sorry Sakura, I said one dance." It didn't faze her as she said, "Kakashi-sensei, you never told me that you were so good at dancing." He smiled and said, "Yeah, but it made me tired, let's walk back home." "Ok." They were walking back when the wind picked up and a cherry blossom landed in Kakashi's hand. He looked at it, and then put it in Sakura's hair. She looked at him surprised when he said, "Just thought it would look good with your outfit." She smiled and continued to walk.

That and that I love you……
