A/N: Yo! I'm pretty happy. I was able to post a new chapter for you all so enjoy, yeah? When will the next chapter be out? I don't know because I'm also working on two other fanfics at the moment (I didn't post one of them) But I'm hoping I'll be able to post a new one next Sunday, check my profile for updates. Chapter 9
Chihiro was flying through the clouds. She flew with other people who looked a bit like her, wings and all. Laughing all the while, Chihiro flew with these people; racing them, playing with them, and even performing some aerodynamic tricks with them. But the beautiful blue sky and white puffy clouds they were flying in turned into a dark and stormy sea of gray. A bolt of lightning rippled through the sky and Chihiro was falling down towards Earth and before she hit the ground, she was engulfed in darkness.
A pair of snake-like eyes appeared out of the darkness. And a sickly sweet voice began to speak, "Don't worry dear, we'll take good care of you…"
Chihiro sat up in bed, beads of sweat rolling down her cheeks. She sighed in relief, "Only a dream."
…………..
"Chihiro!" Sakura said smiling after the day's training, "Do you want to come to my house today?"
"Why?"
Sakura dropped her voice to a whisper, "Tomorrow's Valentine's Day. I wanted to know if you'd want to come make some chocolate with me."
"What's Valentine's Day?" Chihiro asked in a whisper.
"Valentine's Day is a day when girls give boys they like chocolate," Sakura explained.
"Ohhh…"
"Are you girls done whispering now?" All the color from Chihiro's and Sakura's faces drained. They turned to see Kakashi, "Yo."
"Kakashi-sensei, don't scare us like that," said Sakura.
"Kakashi…" Chihiro started, "…I was wondering if I could go to Sakura's house today."
"Why?"
"Ummm…" Chihiro started to fiddle with her fingers, "…She wanted to show me her new kitten!"
"Her new…kitten?" Kakashi asked unbelieving.
"I want to see your kitten Sakura-chan!" said Naruto.
"No!" Sakura said quickly, "I mean it doesn't like male strangers! Let's go Chihiro. Bye Kakashi-sensei." And Sakura pulled Chihiro and began running back to her house.
"Well, I guess there's no point staying around here. That's it for today, you guys can go home," Kakashi said and with a poof, he was gone.
"Hmmm…I wonder why they were acting so funny." Naruto wondered out loud.
"Baka, it's because it's Valentine's Day tomorrow. They probably just wanted to keep the fact that they were going to make chocolate for us a secret," Sasuke said rolling his eyes.
"How did you know it was Valentine's Day tomorrow?" Naruto asked. Then he gasped, "Is it because you're expecting a Valentine from a certain someone tomorrow? No wait! You're probably planning on giving chocolate tomorrow or something? Ne? Ne?"
"Naruto, just shut up," Sasuke said.
"Sakura, what happens after you give the person you like chocolate?"Chihiro asked as the two of them were melting the chocolate down.
"Well, usually he'll just accept your chocolate. But if you're lucky, he'll give you a hug or a kiss!" Sakura said, turning to jello just thinking of Sasuke hugging her.
"Who are you giving chocolate to?"
"Sasuke-kun. Who are you going to give chocolate to?"
"Naruto, Sasuke, Iruka, and Kakashi."
Sakura stopped what she was doing, "You like all 4 of them!?"
"Well, yeah. They're all my friends aren't they?"
Sakura sweat dropped and thought to herself, "I don't think she knows the difference between liking someone and liking someone."
Chihiro was able to find her way home. She didn't come home until 9. She put the chocolates she made in the fridge and went straight to bed. Kakashi had just got of the shower and saw her heading to her room, "Chihiro, are you back?"
"Yep."
"How was it at Sakura's house?"
"It was fun! But I'm kind of tired so, I'm just going to go to bed now," said Chihiro and she went to the room, changed her clothes and went to bed.
Chihiro was flying through the clouds. She flew with other people who looked a bit like her, wings and all. Laughing all the while, Chihiro flew with these people; racing them, playing with them, and even performing some aerodynamic tricks with them. But the beautiful blue sky and white puffy clouds they were flying in turned into a dark and stormy sea of gray. A bolt of lightning rippled through the sky and Chihiro was falling down towards Earth and before she hit the ground, she was engulfed in darkness.
A pair of snake-like eyes appeared out of the darkness. And a sickly sweet voice began to speak, "Don't worry dear, we'll take good care of you…"
The background turned into a dark room and Chihiro was chained to a chair. Chihiro let out a scream. A needle was put into her skin and the fluid inside of it was injected into her blood stream. "Take it out, take it out," she began to cry.
"You only have one more today, if you don't stop crying, I'll have you take more." Chihiro quickly shook her head no and began biting at her lip, trying to keep herself from crying out loud. And her vision went black.
The pair of snake-like eyes appeared again. And the sickly sweet voice began to speak again, "There's no where left to hide, I've found you."
Chihiro woke up breathing heavily. Her lips were starting to bleed because she was biting down so hard. Chihiro looked at the clock to see it was 7:30 in the morning and decided to get up and get ready for the day.
As Chihiro was getting ready in the room, Kakashi was in the kitchen drinking a cup of coffee. He looked at the calendar, it read February 14th. "I wonder if Chihiro will give anyone any chocolates," he thought to himself, but then shook his head. "That's silly. Chihiro probably doesn't even know what Valentine's day is."
Chihiro then walked into the kitchen, opened the fridge, and took out a bag. "I'm ready to go Kakashi."
Kakashi looked at the bag she was holding, "What's in the bag?"
"They're Valentine's day chocolates!"
Kakashi nearly spit out his coffee, "For who?"
"For Sasuke, Naruto and Iruka," answered Chihiro as she left the kitchen to go put her sandals on by the door.
"Do you even know what Valentine's day is?"
"Of course, it's a day when you give chocolates to boys you like. And since I like Sasuke, Naruto and Iruka, I made chocolate for all of them."
"Just as I thought," Kakashi thought to himself, "She has no idea what Valentine's day is."
……………….
"Happy Valentine's Day!" Chihiro said cheerfully and gave the chocolate to Sasuke and Naruto.
"Wow, thanks Chihiro!" Naruto said happily, "But I don't think I like you that way…"
"What are you talking about? I'm giving them to you guys because you guys are my friends."
Naruto opened his mouth to say something but Sasuke spoke first, "Just take the chocolates Naruto."
"Well if we're done giving chocolates, let's go get today's mission." Kakashi said and they all went to get the day's mission.
"Sakura," Chihiro whispered.
"Hn?"
"Weren't you going to give Sasuke chocolates?"
Sakura turned pink, "Well, I was thinking of giving them to him later…"
"Oh okay," Chihiro said as they entered the building where they bumped into Iruka.
"Iruka, what are you doing here?" Kakashi asked.
"Just delivering a message…"
"Iruka!" said Chihiro, reaching into her bag and handing him a box of chocolate, "Happy Valentine's Day!"
Iruka gave the box back, "I'm sorry Chihiro. I can't accept your feelings."
"What?" Chihiro asked confused.
"Could it be?" Naruto started, "Iruka-sensei has finally gotten a girl friend!" This comment earned a punch in the face by Sakura.
Iruka ignored this comment, "It's not that I don't like you or anything Chihiro, it's just that…"
"What are you talking about? Sasuke and Naruto accepted the chocolates I gave them, why can't you?"
"Sasuke and Naruto?" Iruka asked, now it was his turn to be confused.
"Iruka, just take the chocolates," Kakashi said, "I'll explain later." So Iruka just nodded, thanked Chihiro for the chocolates and left. After receiving their mission, which was to clean up trash in a local park, Kakashi, Chihiro and Team 7 left the building too.
While they were picking up trash in the park, Kakashi couldn't help but feel a bit bummed out. For the whole day he was trying to figure out what he did so that Chihiro wouldn't give him a box of her chocolates. He couldn't remember a time he wanted chocolate so much. Kakashi then looked at Chihiro, trying to guess how she was feeling about him at the moment. Too bad Sharingan didn't have the ability to read minds like an open book.
When Kakashi and Chihiro got home that night, Kakashi felt ridiculously chocolate deprived. He slowly walked into the house, while Chihiro sped off into the kitchen. By the time Kakashi locked the door and took off his sandals, Chihiro was back standing right in front of him holding something behind her back.
"Close your eyes and hold out your hands," she said and Kakashi obeyed, "Okay, now you can open them!" Kakashi opened his eyes and looked down to see that he was holding a heart shaped box of chocolates, "Happy Valentine's Day Kakashi! I saved the biggest and prettiest box for you!"
"Why?" Kakashi asked.
"Because, you're the person I like the most. Hurry up and try one Kakashi!"
Kakashi slowly pulled down his mask and opened the box. He was greeted by the heavenly aroma of homemade chocolate. He popped one into his mouth and felt like he was going to melt away in sweet bliss.
"Do you like it?" asked Chihiro.
"Yeah, I love them," he said leaning in and giving Chihiro a soft kiss on the cheek, "Thank you." Chihiro smiled and nodded.
That night when Chihiro went to sleep, she was so happy that she forgot all about the scary dreams she'd been having. At that night, the pair of snake-like eyes didn't appear in her dreams. But that didn't mean that she would never see them again…
