Claimer: I do own Aika
Jealousy: Part I
The two of them were on an S-ranked mission together in Ame. They were supposed to be capturing a mysterious ninja who claims to have no part in collecting Cursed Dolls - these odd tools that suck in powerful chakra for safekeeping. The mission is to be done in less than two weeks, and already three days passed without success. So now the two Hidden Leaf ninja were traveling in an unusually small town, searching for an Inn to stay in for the night.
"Hm," sighed Kakashi, his eye glued to the manager's reddening face. She had long wavy brown hair, sparkling crimson eyes, and she seemed to be very young. Perhaps the same age as his fellow comrade, Sakura Haruno, who was the kunoichi who decided that she would accompany him on this mission.
"Hello, mister," she finally began, "My name is Aika and I will be helping you out today. May I ask of what do you need?" She smiled flirtatiously, even he could tell that she was one of those fan girls, and placed one hand on her hip to show off her so-called glamorous body.
"Yes." The jounin coughed uncomfortably as the woman leaned closer over the desk. "Do you have any rooms available for us?" He sheepishly scratched the back of his head, feeling the intense glare that Sakura was giving him. "We are only staying one night," he finished.
"Only one room," Aika giggled softly, "It will cost you thirty ryo."
"Of course," he chuckled forcefully, dropping the money into her hands.
"Now just sign into this guest book. Oh, let me get you a pen." Aika searched for a writing utensil and finally spotted on, but 'accidentally' dropped it onto the floor. Slowly, she bent over and reached out to grab it, intentionally sticking her ass out for Kakashi to see.
Sakura, seeing this stupid act with her own emerald eyes, gritted her teeth in complete anger - she wouldn't know if it was jealousy because she has never felt this odd feeling bubble down in her gut - and hooked her arm through Kakashi's, surprising him. Yet, the silver-haired Copy Nin didn't do anything. He most likely knew what she was already doing, and she assumed that he wanted that slutty woman off his back as well.
"Okay, here you go, mister." She stood up and handed him the pen. "Oh…" Aika narrowed her crimson-colored eyes toward Sakura. "You are…a couple?" she muttered arrogantly.
"Yes," smiled the kunoichi, "My name is Sakura Haruno. Nice to meet you, Aika."
"Hm," huffed Aika as she handed Kakashi the bedroom keys, "Have a nice day."
The 'couple' strode off toward the stairwell, their arms still locked together in case. When they finally felt as if they were all alone, Kakashi let his arm fall back to his side and sighed, "Now we have to pose as a couple? Man oh man, Sakura. What would Tsunade-sama think of this?"
"Ha, just live with it, Kakashi," murmured Sakura, "Besides, you despised that slut as much as I did."
"True," he agreed as he stuck the key into the lock, "But now we have to pose as a couple for the rest of the mission. Our target is roaming around in this town and being 'lovers' is sort of going to get in the way if we don't cooperate."
"I said live with it, Kakashi." She stuck her tongue out.
He shook his head and grinned slightly behind his mask. "My my, look what jealousy could do to you, Sakura-chan."
