CHAPTER 6: THE FIRST DATE

"KAKASHI! IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP, MY YOUTHFUL ETERNAL RIVAL!"

Kakashi groaned and opened his eyes. Gai was literally bouncing on top of him, waggling his arms and laughing wildly. He glanced at the clock inside the room and saw that there were twenty minutes to three.

"Gai," the Copy Ninja said groggily. "There's still a lot of time left for four o' clock! Let me sleep, please!"

"My dear Kakashi, it is not good to say such things!" Gai reprimanded, shaking his index finger. "Just look how everything around us is bursting with the power of YOUTH! It is so DYNAMIC that my heart feels like dancing!"

Kakashi ran a hand through his already-messy grey hair and looked over at Genma. He was sleeping peacefully, his chest rising and falling as he breathed. "Why don't you go wake Genma instead?" Kakashi suggested.

"Ah, but you are my eternal rival! It would not have been fair on you had I roused Genma first!"

Kakashi rolled his eyes. "You have my full consent to go and jump on him as much as you like, Gai," he mumbled, closing his eyes. He sighed with relief as he felt Gai get off his being. Kakashi settled deeper into his bed, pulling his duvet closer around him.

However, now that he had been awakened, he did not find it easy to return to the realms of slumber. Instead, his thoughts wandered off to a certain Medic. Kakashi turned over and made another attempt to sleep. But, this one proved to be futile too.

The Sharingan hero sat up and rubbed his ANBU tattoo absently, trying to tune out the torrent of curses that Genma was hurling at Gai. At that moment, there was a knock on the door of their room.

Seeing that Genma and Gai were too involved in their heated quarrel, Kakashi went to the door and opened it. He was hoping that it would be Shizune. However, the Jounin was disappointed when he saw Anko standing at the door.

"Kakashi, what the hell is going on in your room? You woke all three of us up! We have an important mission to accomplish and we need rest! If I remember correctly, you were the one who stressed upon the essentiality of this mission," she ranted.

"Be quiet, you'll wake the whole inn," Kakashi reprimanded.

"Too late," Raidou announced, coming towards the duo. "Anko, what's the powwow about?"

"Kakashiand his friends set up a grand hullabaloo that woke us girls up," Anko explained, pointing towards said shinobi.

"I really don't think we should argue so early in the morning. Let's leave it for when we return to Konohagakure," Kakashi sighed.

Anko gave the Copy Ninja her special 'you-better-dig-your-grave-or-I-am-going-to-rip-you-to shreds-and-feed-you-to-crows' glare and went off. Raidou left too. Kakashi was just about to enter his room, when Shizune walked up to him.

"I would like to apologise for Anko's behaviour," she said softly.

"It doesn't matter, Shizune," Kakashi grinned.

"Really?"

"Anko can get like that on missions."

Shizune smiled, turned and made her way towards her room. Kakashi just stood staring after her. He was brought out of his trance by an especially loud curse word uttered by Genma.

"Alright, stop it," Kakashi ordered, stepping into his room. Gai and Genma were wrestling on the floor. None of them paid any heed to him. Finally, Kakashi clasped Genma's shoulders and ripped him off Gai.

"Now, you two, put a lid on it," he commanded firmly. "You've roused the rest of the squad and most probably the entire inn. Gai, stop troubling Genma. Genma, you don't have to react so hyperactively to every single thing. Sit at two different corners of the room or snooze for a while. Just don't fight like petulant children!"

Genma rolled his eyes and went back to his bed. Gai exited the room, mumbling something about 'the pinnacle of youth'. Kakashi sat down and looked at the clock. There were still fifty minutes left for four.

He glanced over at Genma. The latter had already begun snoring. He quickly strode over to his knapsack, fished out 'Ways to Charm a Kunoichi' and flipped it open.

CHAPTER 3: THE FIRST DATE

Once you managed to chat her up [which is by far the hardest part] and want to see her again, you will need to arrange another meeting, a real date. The most cunning way to do this is to ask her to meet again when you part for the first time.

However, be sure to find another way to contact her beforehand, just in case she manages to evade your asking to see her again. Where did you meet her? Does she go there regularly or maybe even work or live there? Could you ask her friends or mutual friends to arrange a date for you?

Independent of when you suggest to meet again, you should always follow eight golden rules for the first date [You know I'd love to say it was ten golden rules, but it is not]:

1. Ensure that the date occurs sooner rather than later. Waiting for too long will only increase your expectations and stress level.

2. Decide on an informal venue in unforced atmosphere that most people will like and do not overdo it.

3. Remember why you are dating, you are there to meet someone nice and have fun, nothing more.

4. Ensure you put effort into your style, dress and presentation and make an effort. Informality does not mean scruffy.

5. Don't try and impress by wealth. Be a gentleman and pay for the lady on the very first date, but pouring the money down the drain does not show you in the best light.

6. Don't try and impress her by your techniques. Knowing how to make fireballs come out of your mouth does not say anything about your skills.

7. Go easy on sake.

8. Don't be late!

Of course these are just general guidelines, with just a little practice you will find out about your strengths concerning women. Be sure to put those in perspective.

A/N: So, how was the chapter? I sincerely hope you enjoyed reading it. Once again, remember to review/PM! See you!
