Once Kakashi got dressed and we finished eating, he decided to ask me how I knew Iruka. I informed him that he was more like family than a friend. He seemed to understand everything I had said and done since meeting him; all except for my reaction to the words Naruto Uzamaki. With a deep sigh, I explained my reasoning for not really liking Naruto. Kakashi on the other hand slipped into a deep gaze. He was still in that gaze by the time I was done, so I pushed him out of his chair. Once he realized what had happened we both ended up laughing. He was good, and that was something that shocked me to the core.
Later that same day, Kakashi told me that we had a "C" ranked mission. I found it funny since he said "we" and not "I". Shrugging it off I continue to pack his gear for him. Why was I packing for him, honestly I didn't want him to be late. After a while we finally left my apartment and headed to the team's meeting place. When we arrived at the meeting place, my side started to burn. I did my best to not let it show but Sakura saw right through my pathetic attempt.
"Kurome? Are you alright?" Sakura questioned.
"It's nothing more than a little side ache." I lied.
Kakashi suddenly looked concerned and told me to take a seat. I tried to refuse but the more I struggled the more my side burned. He helped me sit on a rock, which made me feel really stupid. I mean I do know how to sit down. However, for whatever reason, I allowed him to be the gentleman he was obviously trying to be. Once the pain ended, we went to get the mission. Well Kakashi and his team went to get their mission from the Hokage, which just so happened to be where I was headed too. I needed to see what the Hokage wanted me to do now that I was back in the Leaf. To everyone's surprise I was to join team seven and start the mission with them tomorrow.
That night, Kakashi took me out to dinner and then surprisingly out to dance. I couldn't figure out why he was giving me the royal treatment. Honestly, I loved how romantic Kakashi was being but why would he be acting like this towards a monster like me?
The next morning I made breakfast and packed lunches for the whole team. Kakashi was already packed, since I had done that for him yesterday, and was in town for what I don't know. I was just finishing up with packing when something just didn't feel right. Shrugging it off I finished up my packing and waited for time to pass by.
