Serenade of the Crimson Rose
Chapter 5: A Pictures Worth
"Alright" Said Susande suddenly, Kakashi's jaw dropped in unbelieve, his hand went to the back of his head and he rubbed it nervously.
"I don't know-"He started to say "Come on!" Urged Obito "Kakashi-Kun, it will be so cool, you're not afraid are you?" He said grinning, as he was trying to push Kakashi's buttons. Kakashi coulnd't help but chuckle at this.
"Of course I'm not it's just-" He started again, this time cut off by Susande "Come on Kakashi-Kun, it'll be fun, after all, we're going to be together for a long time" she pleaded. Kakashi smiled, he liked the sound of that 'we're going to be together for a long time', he then sighed, for he gave in to the pressure.
"I suppose I have lost this battle, lets go then, do you know someone who gives them?" Kakashi asked, his slender eyebrow raising and nearly being hidden by his hitai headband. Obito grinned a toothy grin, that could only be matched by Gai, or so Kakashi thought as they walked out of the resturant. 'I guess that means yes' he said as they walked into the village. That night they met with an old friend of Obito's who specialized in body art, and all got the same tibal oval shapped tattoo on their left arms.
The next day was there day off, and Kakashi had planned to meet up Obito for lunch. He stopped by Yondiame-Sensei's to see what was going on, but he wasn't home, So he took out his book at started to read it, walking slowly through the town, he decided it was too nice of a day to waste, as soon as he had turned the corner he heard the voice that annoyed him the most.
"Kakashi-San! Imagine finding you here in the middle of town, what are you doing?! Reading a book! I just got down running laps!" Gai had came into veiw, jogging "You should be training, if you're going to be my rival you have to be strong!" He grinned his extremely bright grin.
"Whatever..."Kakashi said as though he was bored with Gai already. He continued to walk past Gai.
"Kakashi! You're so cool, of course, you would have to be, to be my rival! Haha!" Gai started to laugh as he tried to look over Kakashi's shoulder, suddenly noticing his red tattoo "Hoi! Kakashi! What's that on your arm!? You have a tattoo, you should be nicer to your body." Gai said, the sweat beading down his forhead and his grin stayed present.
"Gai. Get lost, today is my day off... I have things to do" Kakashi replied rather coldly to Gai. "Haha, Kakashi, you're such a kidder, come on, lets have a quick match, after all" Gai chuckled, and decided to play with Kakashi a little bit, so he grabbed at the book, knocking it from Kakashi's hands, Kakshi's eyes went over to Gai then down to the book, and Gai knew he had pushed the right buttons, Kakashi crouched down and picked the book up, placing it into his back pocket.
"Alright Gai, but lets make it quick, I can't be beating you all day." Kakashi smiled, as both of them bawled their fist both counting in their heads '1, 2, 3' and they raised back their hands, striking them downwards quickly, Kakashi's hand formed a peace sign(Scissors), as Gai's hand laid flat(Paper).
"Scissor's beats Paper" claimed Kakashi sounding happy with himself, Gai's face lost all its luster "Oh, I see.. I see.. So I guess you Won this battle Kakashi-San" He shook his head slowly and then flashed as Nice guy pose, putting a thumb into the air and his grin returning "But I will train harder Kakashi!" he chuckled.
"...Sure" said Kakashi as he took his book back out of his pocket, Gai laughed harder at this and patted him on the back softly "You're too cool Kakashi, that's why I will defeat you!" and with that he jogged off in the other direction. He continued to walk around the town and read his book, he suddenly looked up into the sky. 'I better hurry, or else I will be late' He said as he started to walk towards the place him and Obito had decided to meet.
When he got there Obito had already ordered for both of them and he laughed as Kakashi made excuses for showing up late. "It's okay Kakashi-Kun, I have already become acustom to your constand tardiness" He joked "Come on sit down" He said extending a hand towards the chair next to him. "So Kakashi-Kun, how are you enjoying your day off?" He asked.
"Hmm.. It's not going how I planned, but such is life." He answered as the waiter placed food infront of them.
"I see, well, my day is going pretty good so far, I was doing some heavy training" he smiled "So did you hear about the people disappearing?" he asked Kakashi suddenly, his brow raising as he did so.
"disappearing?" he questioned back, his brow also raising, at which Obito gave a grim look and played with his food "Yes, apparently it's a real mystery, we have found that a number of people are missing almost everyday , nobody knows whats causing this, but the victims include a number of chuunin, anbu and a few gennin" he looked up at Kakashi once again to see his reaction. Kakashi wore the same lazy exspression he always wore.
"I see, and does this have anything to do with the forest?" he asked Obito his grey eyes staring into his plate.
"Nobody can say, but one thing is for sure, the person has become more stealth, and is leaving less of a blood splatter, some are even thought to be alive, whoever it is, Hokage is putting us on high alert, the third is even heading the investigation." He explained. As he watched Kakashi, who suddenly raised his head.
"I see, And how did you come by this information, Obito-Kun?" he wondered. Obito smiled a little "Oh, Susande told me when I talked to her about a hour or so ago, She had heard from Hayate, his meeting was cut short due to investigations, not only this news but, apparently the Kyubi has been spotted coming into the countries borders" He added, his voice becoming hushed.
Kakashi's eyes opened wide 'The Kyubi' he thought 'That monster?!' "But Obito, why wasn't everyone alerted?" He asked. Obito shrugged "They don't think he will attack apparently, they think he is passing through, after all, it's not like we could take him on, we don't have enough man power due to the war, we are still trying to build ourself up as a major village again." His shoulders slumped, as he picked at his food with his chopsticks. 'No wonder Yondaime was so worried' Kakashi thought.
After lunch, Kakashi did his normal training that he had set up, he decided not to try and stop by Yondaime's, because of the investigations, and the Kyubi, he knew that Yondaime would be busy, it would be best to wait until the next day.
He walked down the street towards his home, ready to relax the rest of the day, sweat still glistening on his brow, a white towel around the back of his neck. He saw Susande coming down the street, her hair was tied back in a pink bow, some of it was in braids, Kakashi would always remember how pretty she looked on that day. He walked a little slower, half hoping she wouldn't notice him, for he was sure he looked pretty bad. They passed by each other and Kakashi breathed a sigh.
"Hey Kakashi-Kun" she said suddenly, he turned his head to see she had turned herself around and saw him. He half smiled and turned his torso towards her, raising his hand and cocking his head to the side "Hello, Susande-Chan" he exclaimed. She walked closer to him, and put her hands behind her back, smiling widley as she bounced back and forth on her heels. "Why are you so excited?" He said grinning slightly
"Is it that obvious?" she giggled, her cheeks turning a little pale "Well, I am on my way to visit my sister, she just had her baby, and I am going to see him." She smiled.
"Oh.. I see" Kakashi said "Well good luck then" he started to turn away.
"It was nice to see you Kakashi-Kun" she said, and he looked back towards her to respond, she was smiling so cutley, he couldn't help but smile as well. "and you too Susande-Chan, you look very pretty today" he smiled big, his eyes turning into tiny slits as he cheeks pressed upward. Suddenly he felt something soft brush against his skin, opening his eyes he noticed Susande was now standing closer, apparently she had kissed his cheek, for she was blushing immensly "T-Thank you very much, Kakashi-Kun" she said as she turned and started to run off. Kakashi stood there for a second, himself blushing a tad as she walked away, he grinned to himself and then headed home for a relaxing night.
