Hinata had finished her shower and came out with a towel wrapped around her body as she dried her hair with another towel. Once all changed she looked around the empty apartment.
"Hm. Kakashi didn't say when he was going to be back." For some unknown reason Hinata felt lonely without the silver haired shinobi. Sure it had only been a few days but for some reason Hinata felt a closeness that she hadn't ever felt for Kakashi in her time. She was learning things about him that she never knew.
Just then there was a knock on the door.
Quickly changing her eyes, Hinata went and answered the door. She was surprised to see Kurenai standing there.
"Kurenai-sensai."
"Hey Hinata, how are you? And just call me Kurenai. I'm not your sensai yet."
Hinata stepped out of the way and let her in. "I'm fine thank you."
Kurenai walked in a looked around the small apartment. She noticed the fresh fruit on the table and all the dishes in the drying rack by the sink. "Its nice to see a womanly touch in this place. Kakashi needs a girl in his life."
For some reason, the idea of being Kakashi's girl made Hinata's heart flutter. The feeling was not unknown to her though. It was the same feeling that Hinata got whenever she thought about Naruto.
"But that's impossible. My feelings for Naruto are not the same as Kakashi. I love Naruto and Kakashi is just a friend….right?"
Hinata's train of thought was broken by Kurenai. "So where is Kakashi anyways?"
"H-he went out to run some errands. I d-don't know when he'll be back."
Kurenai looked at the clock. It was still pretty early so she had a pretty good idea what Kakashi's "errand" was.
"Well since he's not here why don't you and I go do something?"
"Like what?"
"I'm thinking hot springs. We need some girl time." Kurenai grabbed Hinata's hand and pulled her out the door.
"Ready for another round of training Asuma?" Gai asked in excitement.
Asuma sighed. "Gai we just finished training. Its time to rest."
"We can rest later. We are young and should use our youth!"
"How about you go do that and I go to the hot springs."
"Ah the hot springs! That is an excellent idea!"
The two shinobi were heading to the local hot springs when they saw their masked friend walking down the street.
"KAKASHI!"
Kakashi looked up and saw Gai running his way and Asuma walking behind him with his hands in his pockets.
"Yo."
"Care to join us in a youthful trip to the hot springs?"
Kakashi was going to go back to see how Hinata was doing but he was tense and a quick trip to the hot springs wouldn't take to long. "Sure, why not."
Gai jumped up and cheered. "How about a race to the hot springs?"
"Sure Gai. First person there is winner." Kakashi said. "Ready…Set…Go." And with that all Kakashi and Asuma saw was a trail of dust with a blur of green quickly disappearing.
Kakashi shrugged. "I guess Gai wins."
Sorry this chapter is really short. The next chapter should be longer and should be up shortly.
