Chapter 3
Dinner Date
Ari had fixed up the apartment with thing she had bought earlier and stocked the fridge. She showered and put on a light yellow sundress and a pair of white Chinese silk slippers. She went into the kitchen and pulled out everything she would need to prepare the dinner. She looked at the clock. 5:30 pm. She should get started on dinner. When she pulled out a kitchen knife and a few vegetables. As she started slicing them, a knock was at the door.
She looked over at it, and sighed. She went over to it and opened the door. "You're early." she smiled at the masked Jonine. Kakashi grinned at her.
"I thought I could help with dinner." he said. Ari looked him over. He wore black pants and a white button up shirt that was left un-tucked.
"You look nice." she smiled and moved out of the way to let him in.
"Thank you. And you look absolutely gorgeous." he took his mask off and kissed her softly before stepping into her apartment. As they broke apart she bit her lip with a smile and shut her door. He kept his mask off for her and only for her. He trusted her more than anyone else he knew…
Ari stepped into the kitchen and picked the knife up again. "You can get the pork from the fridge and cut it into cubes, if that wont be to much trouble." she said politely.
Kakashi nodded. "Not at all."
The two both stood in the kitchen cooking together. Ari cooked the meat and vegetables together, and then poured chicken broth in it, putting the cover on it and letting it simmer.
"That should be another 20 minutes." she said and hopped on the counter. Kakashi leaned on the edge of the counter next to her and crossed his arms over his chest.
"So… Ari… Tell me what you were going to tell me. About the training?" he reminded her.
Ari looked at him with a skeptical look on her face. "I don't know if you'll agree." she bit her lip.
Kakashi sighed. "Ari, spit it out."
Ari sighed as well. "Alright… Well, for the past two years Masuu and I have traveled to each of the five great country studying different techniques. I decided to come here last to study fire techniques. Well, for Masuu to study them anyways. I'm ok at fire style, but I'm not good enough to teach it. And I was wondering if you would take her on for a while in between missions. Besides, I know you are better than me at teaching. She's my first student ever." Ari said, looking at him hopefully then.
Kakashi uncrossed his arms and placed his hands on either side of himself on the counter tops edge. He looked at the ceiling. "You want me to take your student from you?" he asked, looking over at her.
Ari nodded. "Yes…"
Kakashi sighed through his nose, pondering her request. "I don't usually accept students so easily…" he said.
"Please?" she wrapped her around his shoulders.
Kakashi groaned. "Ari-chan…"
Ari jumped off of the counter and stood in front of him. "Alright then. Since you don't take in students easily, I'll make it hard for you. How about you and I face each other tomorrow. I win you take her, You win, I take her." she said, crossing her arms with a mischievous smile on her face. "Deal?"
Kakashi laughed. "You? Fight me? Well, I praised the day when this happened. You're on, Suon." he leaned in and kissed her.
Ari kissed him back with a giggle. Ari couldn't deny that she was with out a doubt unbelievably happy. Kakashi planted his hands on her hips, and pushed her against the counter behind her. He lifted her up so she sat on the counter.
Ari gasped as he did and he tangled his hand in her hair, pulling her to his lips, kissing her hard. Ari managed to slip her hands under his shirt and place them against the hard edges of his abs. Kakashi broke form her mouth and went to her neck, kissing the soft and sensitive flesh.
Ari moaned as he nipped at her neck, and he looked at the pot on the stove.
"Uh, Kakashi, our dinner is over boiling." she said.
Kakashi unwillingly broke away from her and let her tend to the dinner. Ari tasted the dish, and smiled. "I didn't think it'd cook that fast." she turned to look at Kakashi. He was staring at her with so much lust burning in his eyes. Well… eye.
Ari's smile vanished, and turned back around to the dinner. "Later, Kakashi…" she said, and grabbed two bowls, knowing exactly what he wanted. She spooned out the dinner and handed him his bowl and a pair of chopsticks. She walked over to the floor table, and sat on the mat in front of it, folding her legs underneath herself.
Kakashi did the same. As they ate they exchanged small talk and little jokes. Kakashi looked at her for a moment. "So, what all happened while we were apart Ari?" he asked. "No boyfriends back home I hope?"
Ari smiled. "Nope. I have not dated anyone ever since you left. What about you?
Kakashi shook his head. "Don't have time."
Ari laughed. "Than what do you call this?"
Kakashi grinned. "An intimate get-together."
"You read to much of those books, Kakashi." she took a bite of her dinner.
Kakashi looked at her. "How did you know I read those things?"
Ari smiled. "Oh please. I do research. Besides, I caught you reading it once three years ago. I do admit, those books are very adventurous."
Kakashi's eyes widened. "You read them?"
Ari shrugged. "I read one." she said. "Couldn't find time to read the others."
Kakashi smiled. "You are perfect, you know that?"
Ari laughed. "I try."
"So what is this I hear? You're like an important figure in some countries?"
Ari nodded. "Lady Mizukage named me the Ambassador to the water country, and I am an honorary council member in the Wind country with the Kazekage. And here, I'm still working on getting citizenship. Michiru has named me Ambassador of the Moon country as well." she pointed at her honor marks. "I returned home two tears ago to get Masuu, and they named me 'Legend of the Clan'."
Kakashi laughed. "You are quite the busy woman." he said.
Ari laughed as well. "It's hard, but I keep up."
Kakashi continued with his meal, and looked up again. "So, what all exactly have you learned?"
Ari smirked. "That you'll find out when we hit the battle field."
Kakashi laughed. "You really think you can beat me?"
"Honey, I'm an S class Jonine that has basically mastered most elements of jutsu. Yeah, I think I'm good to go." she smiled in a cocky way.
Kakashi stood up. "Very well." He took his bowl and put it in the sink. Ari stood and did the same. They stared at each other in the kitchen for a moment, until Ari took his hand, and lead him into the bedroom. Kakashi closed the bedroom door behind him, and Ari kissed him fully in the mouth before he pushed her down onto the bed.
He kissed her as he hovered over her body. Once he broke the kiss, he looked down at her. "Is later now?" he asked. Ari smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Later is always now." she whispered, and pulled him into a kiss while her whole night dripped with lust and ecstasy…
