A comfortable silence lapsed between the pair of young adults as they made their way towards Kagome's apartment. Kakashi occasionally snuck glances at the young woman, and he noted that the glow of the setting sun cast a warm light on Kagome's features. Combined with her lithe figure and dainty features, he had no doubt that Naruto's loud claims of Kagome's popularity were all too true.
They approached her apartment complex, her room sitting on the floor right about Naruto's floor. In front of Naruto's door, a teenager clad in black was waiting on the doorstep, and had turned his head to look their way.
"Sai-kun!" Kagome exclaimed, greeting the younger shinobi excitedly. "Are you visiting Naruto?"
Sai's eerily wide smile was plastered across his face as usual. "Kakashi-san. Kagome-san. Yes, Naruto was supposed to be here at this time. It seems his training with Sasuke ran over slightly, and he is late."
"Mou, that boy." Kagome said with a roll of her eyes. "You know what Sai-kun? Why don't join me for dinner until Naruto comes back?" She turned to the silver-haired jounin and added, "You're also very welcome to join, Kakashi-san."
"That would be great, Kagome-san." Sai consented, moving to follow Kagome towards her apartment.
"Sure." Kakashi agreed lazily as well. When Kagome reached her door, she shifted her shopping bags, trying to fumble for the keys in her purse. Noticing her difficulty, Sai stopped her by placing a hand to her arm.
"Let me help you with that, Kagome-san." Sai said politely. Kakashi could have sworn that there was an odd glint to his eyes, and that his touch seemed to linger just a bit too long…
