Chapter 4: Nights
The next morning...
Sakura was the first one to wake up. She decided to rake the leaves outside since it's nearly winter, many leaves are starting to fall. When she went out she saw two empty tea cups. "Someone might've left it here. But who?" Sakura thought to herself.
The others started getting up at around ten. Same agenda, brunch(breakfast/lunch) after getting up.
While they were eating Sakura asked something. "Did any one of you have tea last night and left the cups outside?"
Nobody answered. Kakashi covered up for him and Anko. "I did. I was attacked by my insomnia last night. Couldn't sleep so I went out and drank two cups of tea."
Naruto and Sakura sweat dropped. "You have insomnia?"
Kakashi, trying to be confident answered, "Ah, yeah. It seldom attacks me."
"Yeah right." Naruto was suspecting.
"He's bluffing." The three students of Kakashi thought.
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura practiced all day and played cards.
Kakashi read his "Icha Icha Paradise" and played cards once in a while with his students.
Anko went to a meeting with the Hokage and came back just in time for dinner.
"Let's eat!!!" They all said loudly.
The kids slept early, tired because of practice and card playing.
At around midnight, Kakashi got out of bed and went outside. To his surprise, Anko was there.
"Hey ho. Am I late?" he chuckled.
Anko was surprised to see Kakashi awake again at times like that. "Late for what?"
They talked again. That was another night of chat with each other under the radiance of the stars.
Meeting up every night became a routine for them. This continued for at least a couple of days. They talked about life, spilled characteristics that weren't unfolded yet to any person else, their hopes, dreams, and a lot more.
This paved a way for them to know each other pretty well.
And very night, they make sure they clean up their tea cups and quietly tiptoe not to wake the other sleeping chuunins.
