Chapter 8

The next week for the two of them had been completely uneventful, Kakashi went to work, Sakura went to school, and then they came home and had dinner together. The man's clothes and other items had completely taken over Sakura's apartment, except they were in draws neatly organised away.

However, it was now Saturday night, and Sakura desperately needed something to do, working all week was really starting to bore her. Kakashi stumbled home around 5, and then proceeded to slump on the couch until around 6.

"Kakashi, get up, now!"

The man turned his lazy eyes towards Sakura; "Why?"

"Because we're going out." She replied with a contempt look.

"No." He replied emotionlessly.

"Yes, Kakashi, we are. You don't want us to be one of those couples who never go out do you?"

The silver-haired man smiled; "I wouldn't mind if we were to be quite honest."

Sakura threw her hands up in the air; "I'm calling Ino, if you won't co-operate with my I'll find someone decent enough to be with."

Kakashi shrugged; "Fine."

She didn't know what was infuriating her more, the fact that he refused to go out, or that he didn't seem to care that she was moving on to someone else. Nonetheless she decided to call Ino;

"Hey forehead, what's up?"

"Ino, you busy?"

"Not really." The blonde girl laughed.

"Do you want to go out for drinks?"

"Go on then, Kakashi coming?"

"No." The pinkette sighed. "He's being a jerk." She continued loud enough for Kakashi to hear.

"Ah, got cha, should I call Hinata too? Make it a whole girls' night out sort of thing?"

"Yeah, should I come to yours and then we can all go?"

"Oh yeah, I call Hinata now, be over in about an hour okay?"

"Alright, I'll be there." Sakura replied, with a smile, it was nice to think that she could go out with 'the girls' again.

Casually, she walked back out into the living room and stared down at the man sitting on her couch;

"I'm going out."

"Have fun." He replied emotionlessly.

"I probably won't be back until late."

Kakashi turned to face her; "Have fun." He repeated.

"You know I probably won't come back."

"Really? Have fun with that."

Sakura frowned, and with a sigh turned away, and walked back into her room. After taking a shower, and getting ready, the pinkette decided to leave early, just being around Kakashi annoyed her at the moment.

"Bye." She called out when she opened the door to leave.

But it seemed that Kakashi hadn't heard her, and didn't reply, leaving Sakura in an even worse mood. Thankfully, Ino could always put her in a better mood and with Hinata's gossip on her date within a few moments of arriving Sakura had forgotten all about the lump sitting on her couch.

"So, details Hinata. Spill."

"D-details? Well, uhm I don't really know what to say..."

Ino laughed; "I don't know, what did he say when you went to meet him?"

"W-well." The dark-haired girl blushed "He said that I-I looked pretty..."

"Well, geez he was just pointing out the obvious there." The blonde girl replied with a roll of her eyes. "Did he say anything interesting?"

Hinata paused for a moment; "Well, uhm, we just talked about normal things, he told me about what he was working as and things like that and uhm that he thought that I was really nice..."

Even Sakura rolled her eyes this time; "Geez." Sakura began. "Naruto really isn't that romantic is he?"

Hinata's face went redder; "It-it's not really about that, his heart is in the right place and to be honest I would get too nervous if he complimented me all the time."

"Fair enough." Ino agreed. "Anyway, this is going to be a ladies night only, so if you get approached, punch him in the face, k?"

"Ino." The pinkette sighed; "I don't think we should start of the night so violently."

The blonde girl snorted; "It's not like you to back away from unnecessary violence, forehead. Are you sure you don't have a fever?"


At around 1 in the morning Sakura finally stumbled home, smelling of alcohol and perfume. She'd already thrown up twice, once in a bush and the other time on a random man's shoes. Hinata, who had been the only sober-ish person, walked Sakura home, if she hadn't the pinkette probably wouldn't have got to her apartment at all.

Kakashi had regretted not going with her the moment she left, and so spent the rest of the evening waiting for her to come home so he could lecture her on drinking. But as soon as she fell through the door, his mind set changed from over-protective boyfriend to emergency medic. So, then proceeded to spend the next two hours holding her hair back from her face as she threw up, and forcing her to drink water, before finally carrying her off to bed.
