Ch.10: What's with the Dress?

(Poof) "Hi guys!" Megumi smiled as she appeared from a plume of white smoke.

Kakashi looked up from his Icha Icha. "Yo. So when are you going to add the lemon?" he asked without batting an eye.

Megumi blinked. "You know what a lemon is?" she asked incredulously.

"Internet." he replied with ease.

Sasuke looked up from the scroll in his lap. "Yeah. So when are you?"

She wrinkled her nose. "I'm trying to fit it into my story. I have two possible places so I need to decide."

Naruto blinked. "Why?"

"Otherwise her story won't flow correctly. Right?" said Shino. She nodded. "I still need to figure out how to write one though."

Kakashi looked up. "Need inspiration?"

Everyone turned green. "…ew."

"Please say you meant the Icha Icha!" Neji yelled.

Kakashi's eye grew wide. "You people are sick!" Pervert he may be, but he was no pedophile.

Sakura glared, her arms crossed over her chest. "We can't help it. You've corrupted us with your pervertedness, not to mention that Icha Icha movie you made us watch!" she retorted.

"S-sakura, calm down." Hinata stuttered.

"Yeah, seriously." Megumi agreed.

Sakura took a calming breath, something she picked up from Tsunade. "Fine, but make sure he doesn't make us watch anymore of that hentai shit!" she glared.

Kakashi shrugged. "Fine, I'll just make her watch it." he said pointed a gloved finger at Megumi.

The girl sweatdropped. "Um…..I think I hear inspiration calling. Bye Kakashi!" she yelled running out of the living room into her office.

Kakashi looked back to his book. "She'll be back. She always is." he said pulling out a rope.

The younger nins paled. 'May Kami have mercy on her soul.'

30 min later…..

Megumi burst out of the door. "I'm back! I'm back and-Kakashi, what's with the rope?" she asked, now losing all her cheerfulness. Kakashi smiled, a strange gleam in his eye. "Nothing."

She smiled nervously at him. "Okay, well, I think I'll be going no-"But the onset of darkness cut her off.

Kakashi look down at her unconscious body, his fingers still raised from hitting the pressure point at the base of her neck. He stared down at Megumi, her raven hair fanned out under her. He picked her up, her hair spilling over his forearm.

He looked down, regret in his voice. "Sorry, but I had to."

Later……

"Mm.." Megumi murmured as she blinked her eyes open. The room was dark; the only light source was a small lamp that hung above her head. It reminded her of those scenes in horror movies just before the villain would come out and do something sadistic. As she looked around, the dim light shifting the shadows, she shook her head. She tried to calm herself as she tried to fight past her disorientation. "Wha?…Where am I? Hey, I can't move!"

She looked around in alarm. She was alone in a dark room and she was tied to a chair. Her heart hammered against her chest. What was going on? She ducked her head and whimpered. This was not good, but then…she noticed something. "Why am I in a dress?" she said staring down at the white dress covering her body.

The dress was short in her opinion, stopping just above her knees. It was fitted just under her breast and had spaghetti-straps. It reminded her of the ones she saw in commercials and in mall display windows.

The door opened and a figure entered the room. They stepped forward, entering the light. She could just make out their features in the dim light and blinked. "Kakashi?"

Kakashi looked up from his book as he shut his book. "Oh, you're awake. Mornin." he smiled. How could he act so chipper? They could have possibly been kidnapped! Wait, she lived with trained shinobi, which means…oh god! The others are hurt!

Megumi looked around, panic welling inside her body as she bucked in her chair. "What's going on and how'd I get into a dress?" she shouted as she continued to writhe in the chair, wincing as the ropes bit into her skin.

"Well, I'm taking you to the movies and I thought it'd be a nice touch. We have to be presentable," he smiled.

"Well, that would explain the dress shirt you have on. Wait. Movies?" she asked, looking up at the man.

Kakashi nodded in his white button-up shirt and black slacks. "Yes and yes."

"Why?"

Kakashi shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. "I have two non-refundable tickets to tonight's movie and I needed someone to go with me."

"Oh. You know, you could've just asked. I would've gone willingly," she deadpanned.

Kakashi face fell slightly. "Oh." He said blushing slightly at his stupidity. "Sorry, I'll remember next time."

'If there is one. Whoa! Where'd that come from?'

Megumi shrugged. "It's ok, but, can you untie me? These ropes are starting to hurt." she said moving around and wincing to prove her point.

Kakashi blinked, snapping from whatever train of though that held him. "Oh. Sorry." He pulled the knot on the ropes and she watched them pool at her feet. "Shall we?" he asked putting his arm up as she rubbed her sore wrists.

Megumi nodded, placing her arm through his. "Well, I guess I'm going to the movies. What are we watching?" she asked.

"The new Icha Icha movie."

Megumi sweatdropped. "Oh. Well, I guess I'll see you next time. Review please."
