Hi there. So this is the longest chapter yet. I just want to thank you all for reading this story. It's amazing how many hits it got and visitors (575). So keep reading and I will keep writing :)
Enjoy!
They didn't even know how but they ended up in a small restaurant near the main street waiting for their ordered food. They were all sitting in one booth and looking at each other. Still no one was able to put a thought into words and Sakura didn't want to risk Ino getting her voice back.
"I have to go to the toilet." Sakura abruptly stood up almost spilling her drink. When she saw the surprise in everyone's faces she put a smile on her face and turned to Kakashi who was sitting next to her and still avoiding her eyes.
"Would you please escort me, darling?" Asked Sakura. She is going to try to just talk to him and not kill him. She kept telling herself and repeating it like a mantra. No killing, just talking. No killing, killing bad, talking good.
"Oh, I hope he isn't in trouble? I swear we were not together since he left for the mission the other day." Said Kaori with a remarkably fake smile.
What the hell is her deal? Sakura thought and was about to ask her when Kakashi quickly stood up and took Sakura's elbow and practically dragged her away from the table.
"What the hell Kakashi?" Asked Sakura angrily while trying not to punch him into oblivion.
"I can explain, just don't kill me yet."
"You have 10 seconds ." Gritted Sakura through her teeth.
"Well ... you know.. I went to the grocery shop where I met an old lady..."
"Six seconds left Kakashi!"
"Ok it wasn't a grocery shop. It was near that bridge.." Sakura glared at him.
"Three seconds." Said Sakura and made a fist with her hand. Kakashi backed into the wall at the sight of her whitening knuckles.
"Ok, ok. Just don't scar my pretty face Sakura-chan." He turned his face and waited for her punch.
"You're willing to die rather then tell me what is going on, and who is that Kaori person?"
"Nope. I'd rather die then to spend another night with that Kaori person. I know you won't kill me but it will be severe enough to get me to the hospital. There she won't be able to come near me." A proud smile could be seen on his face over his good plan.
"I swear that Naruto's stupidity is rubbing off on you." Sakura said and touched her head. She was starting to get a headache.
"Why do you want to run from that woman so badly?"
"Run? Who said anything about running?" OK I really sound pathetic, Kakashi thought.
"I have to get rid of her. She is worse than a leech combined with a persistent cold and constant back pain. We met few months ago. It was just one night but she must have got it wrong or something. Since then I can't get rid of her, she is everywhere I move. That's why I asked for the long term mission. I hoped she would forget about me and leave me alone."
"So you thought a fake engagement with me might get her off your back? Are you insane!"
"Well it was the first thing that came to my mind , pumpkin." He said with a smile while scratching his head deftly.
"Call me that one more time and I'll.." Sakura was once again interrupted before she could finish. This time it wasn't anyone talking or hugging. This time it was Kakashi. Better said Kakashi's body pressed to hers. Her back against the wall and his masked lips pressing onto hers. Her eyes were wide with surprise. She tried to push him off but failed miserably as a jolt of pleasure set between her legs. What the hell is wrong with me? Before she could continue the train of thought Kakashi pulled away from her. She let out a small whimper before she could stop herself. It was quiet enough so she hoped Kakashi didn't hear it. She noticed that Kakashi was talking to someone.
"We were on our way." Kakashi said to Kaori as she went to the toilet. When the doors closed behind her Kakashi's head came closer to her face again. She closed her eyes and waited for another masked kiss, but it didn't come. Instead he whispered in her ear.
"Help me get rid of Kaori and I will owe you one."
"A really, really big one." Sakura said.
"Don't worry it's not that big." Kakashi said with a mischievous wink.
"Pervet!" She said and elbowed him in the ribs.
"Ouch. That was just a joke. But I wasn't the one whimpering." He said with a painful huff while bent and holding the place of impact but still managing to have smug smile on his face.
Sakura blushed furiously and just turned quickly around.
"You wish. Haha-ha" Sakura let out a nervous laugh trying to hide her embarrassment. Oh god he heard me whimpering like a schoolgirl over a kiss. I'm so pathetic. I knew this was a bad idea. I should have just told Ino the truth, but guess it's too late now.
" Let's get back to the table. And let's hope Tsunade doesn't hear about it." Sakura said and walked to the table followed by slightly wincing Kakashi. As they were sitting down Sakura whispered to Kakashi.
"If we get through tonight I might heal that cracked rib." she said with a placid smile.
"It' about time you got back. Soooooo. How did this happen?" Said Ino with one breath and stared at them with her big blue eyes while smiling like a maniac. She is so going to enjoy spreading the gossip about this.
Sakura smiled and padded Kakashi on his knee. "Why don't you tell her, honey. I know how much you like telling stories." He so deserves to explain this.
"Did I miss anything?" Said Kaori as she sat down opposite of Kakashi and smiled at him.
"No, you didn't. Kakashi was about to tell our story." Happily exclaimed Sakura.
"Well... ehm.. it was like.. was it in autumn pum... eh.. darling?" Kakashi turned to her with a pleading face. No such thing as help awaited him there. He was playing into her cards. Sakura smiled inwardly.
"Don't tell me you don't remember?" Sakura said with a fake hurt in her voice and puppy eyes.
He was saved once again. The waitress came with the ordered food and asked them if they wanted anything else to drink. The ordered food was brought on many smaller plates and was a wide variety of meat, vegetables, fruits and side dishes.
"Oh look at the food. And here is my miso soup. Let's eat." Kakashi said and grabbed a small bowl of miso soup and started to fill his other plate with all sorts of food and tried to look as busy as he could.
"By the way Ino. What about your date?" Sakura asked when she remembered that Ino didn't answer Kakashi's question from before.
"Oh, you know. I kind of broke up with him."
"I'm sorry to hear that. Why didn't you say sooner? We didn't have to go out tonight." Sakura said and touched Ino's hand.
"And miss out on all of this?" Ino smiled and pulled her arm away from Sakura's.
"And besides he wasn't the right one or anything. He didn't really get me being a civilian and all, and he was boring as hell. The only thing good about him was his looks." Ino smiled and started to put variety of food on her plate.
"I'm still sorry Ino."
"Don't be. I'm really fine forehead."
Sakura knew she was hurt. Not really by the break-up but the reasons behind it. Seams she is starting to realize how deep her feelings were for certain someone. Sakura thought as she started to fill her plate as well. That is when she felt someone's foot rubbing hers. At first she thought it was Kakashi, but one look at Kaori made her think different. She was trying to get Kakashi's attention and it looked like her cleavage got even lower. Kakashi wasn't kidding. She is really trying to get to him.
"Did you lose your shoe Kaori?" Sakura asked smiling innocently at her.
"Oh, no. I just had a bug running up my leg so I was trying to get rid off it." Kaori smiled back and moved her leg away from her.
"What.." She was really getting on her nerve. Did she just call her a bug? That's quite enough from someone like her. She was about to speak her mind quite openly but Kakashi noticed she was about to say something so he grabbed the first food he could and stuck it in Sakura's open mouth.
"Here you go honey. I know how much you like these."
As soon as Sakura had it in her mouth she started to turn red. She swallowed it as fast as she could and grabbed a glass of water and poured it right into her mouth. After she drank all her water she let out of her mouth something that looked a lot like smoke.
She turned her head to Kakashi. He knew he was in trouble as soon as she smiled at him.
"Thank you darling for that lovely spicy beef. Why don't you have some tempura?" She grabbed few tempura pieces from the plates and put it on Kakashi's.
She looked at him waiting for him to eat it. She knew he hated fried food.
He gulped when he realized there was no way he is going to get out of this one. He ate all of it that she put on his plate as fast as he could so he didn't have to taste it too much. He really didn't like fried food. Two can play this game pumpkin.
"Honey, here you go. You overlooked your favorite kimchi." He smiled and put the spicy cabbage on his chopsticks and waited for her to open her mouth so he could feed her.
She smiled at him and he could see her eye slightly twitching in the corner.
She opened her mouth and warily put the kimchi in her mouth. She swallowed fast as not to have the spicy thing in her mouth for long and started to look for a glass of water. She took Kakashi's as hers was already empty. He is going to pay. Revenge is sweet. She smiled as she looked at the one specific plate. It was full of fried, sweet bananas. He hated fried food almost as much as sweets.
"Oh look darling. It's your favorite desert. Have some before it's gone."
She took the whole plate and put it in front of him. He was about to be forced to eat it when someone unexpected walked into the restaurant.
Kakashi dropped the fried banana piece from his chopsticks.
"Ayako?"
"Oh Kakashi-kun. Here you are. I missed you." She exclaimed and launched herself at Kakashi.
