Chapter Four: Christmas.
Kakashi woke up on Christmas Eve morning to an empty bed. He sat up and looked around; he heard the shower stop and Kit came out in a towel. He looked at her and smiled when she bent over; she had yet to realize that her boyfriend was awake. She took off the towel and started to dry off her body with it. She turned around and saw him looking at her.
"Hey, you're awake baby." She said as she climbed on top of him, his hands intertwined with her hands.
"Merry Christmas babe." He said and kissed her lips gently.
"Merry Christmas to you too dear." She replied.
"So is this my special Christmas gift?" he asked with a smile as one of his hands started to rub her ass.
"Hentai! You are becoming a dirty pervert, but no this is not your present. We have to be at my mom's at three, so that gives us about six hours to finish up our small list of gifts to get." She said.
"You're no fun, but do you think your mother will mind if I come?" he asked as he wrapped his arms around her.
"No, she will be insulted if you don't come. Besides, Sakura wants to see her big brother too." She said with a smile.
"So I'm already apart of the family?" he asked, nipping her shoulder.
"You know you've always been part of the family. I want you to know one thing though."
"What?"
"No trying to do anything above a G rating. I want to look respectable in the eyes of my family, since my large family will be going to the Uchiha Christmas party." She said.
"Why wouldn't you look respectable?"
"I'm living with a man I'm not married to in a one bedroom apartment." She said.
"Point taken." They got up, dressed and left to do the last minute shopping.
They walked down the streets, Kakashi's arm over her shoulders and her arm around his waist. Kakashi had his face covered by a scarf and Kitsune had her face uncovered. They had their shopping down in half hour an hour and then went to get some hot coco.
"Hey, that was my whipped cream!" Kakashi said as though she had stolen one of his books.
"So what? You never eat it right." Kitsune said as she gave him back his cup. He leaned down and gently licked her lips and then kissed them.
"You had whipped cream on your lips." He said when she gave him a questionable look.
"Whatever, but no doing that when where at my mother's house." She laughed.
"Sissy! Sissy!" four year old Sakura cried as she ran up to her and jumped into her arms.
"Sakura!? What are you doing here? Is mom with you?" she asked hugging her little sister tightly.
"Yep! Mama! Over here." Sakura shouted to her mother. The woman looked up and saw her daughters and Kakashi. She came over, her arms full of shopping bags. Kakashi got up and took them from her.
"Thank you Kashi, now what are you two doing here?" she asked with a smile.
"We're doing some last minute shopping, what are you two doing?" Kitsune asked as her sister settled herself on Kitsune's lap.
"Same here, we will see you two at six right?"
"Of course mom, we would never miss Christmas unless there was no way we could get out of a mission. By the way what do you want for Christmas?" Kitsune asked her mother.
"I got what I want, my family with me for Christmas. Well I wouldn't mind a grandchild." She said with a smile. Both Kakashi and Kitsune had sweat drops and looked at each other with a look of 'what the hell'.
"Mom..."
"I'm joking you two; I don't expect grand children... for a few years." Ayuna said with a smile. The two had bigger sweat drops.
"Mom, we're not even sleeping together." Kitsune whispered.
"I wouldn't expect you two sleeping together until you're married. Anyway, could you watch your sister for a few hours, I need to wrap the presents and your little sister is getting better at sneaking up on me." she said with a smile.
"Okay."
"Good, well see you three later." She said and grabbed her bags and left in a puff of smoke.
"So what are we gonna do?" Sakura asked as she grabbed her sister's coco.
"Well, we could go for a walk." Kakashi said.
"Okay, but can we stop some where special first?" Sakura asked. The two adults nodded their heads and Sakura squealed with joy. They finished their drinks and left. Kitsune picked Sakura up and Kakashi picked up their bags with one hand and put his arm around her waist. They walked out and Sakura directed them.
"So Sakura, where are we going?" Kakashi asked.
"It's a surprise, but I know you two will like it." she said with a giggle. The two looked at each other and smiled. They walked along a little further until Sakura told them to stop. They stopped in front of a pet shop, went in there, they saw a small, black and pink tiger stripped kitten in a large, clear container with other cats. It was alone from the others and looked so sad.
"Sissy Big brother, see that pink and black kitten, that's what I wanted to show you. I asked daddy if I could get it but he said no. isn't it lonely." She said as she started to pet the kitten. Both adults looked at each other. Kitsune gave Kakashi a pleading look and he nodded his head. He went up to the counter while Sakura and Kitsune went outside.
"On to home!" Kitsune said when Kakashi joined them. They walked back home and Kakashi put the gifts in the closet.
"I don't want to take a nap." Sakura said sleepily.
"Come on baby girl, its time to sleep. I'll wake you up in ..." Kakashi smiled as he saw how happy Kitsune looked. She came back out in a red tank top and black, ankle length skirt. She put her hair down and went up to Kakashi and pushed him on to the couch. She straddled his hips and kissed him, their tongues fighting each other for control.
"Sissy, what are you doing?" Sakura asked from the door and held onto the shirt her sister put on her. The two broke apart and Kitsune got off of her boyfriend.
"Nothing dear, you should be taking your nap." She said picking up the girl.
"I tried, but I was lonely. Mama usually lies with me or I have a teddy with me." she said and rested her head on her sister's shoulder.
"If you want I'll lay with you." Kitsune said as she laid her sister on the bed, then laying down herself.
"Okay... (Yawn)" Sakura said, starting fall to back to sleep. "Sissy."
"Yes?"
"Why does this bed smell like you and big brother, but he doesn't have the same sent as you and I?" she asked.
"Because big brother is not your real bother and I sleep in the same bed as him." she said.
"Oh, so it's like when daddy has a lady friend over and they play hide and seek?" she asked.
"Yeah..." 'That bastard, I'll kill him!' Kitsune thought.
Inner Kitsune: Hell Yeah! We're gonna kill him!
Kitsune laid there for a half hour, then untangled herself from her sister and went back into the living room; her boyfriend was reading come, come violence.
"So when do I get to take a nap with you?" he asked as he put his book down and looked at her.
"Later, but right now, we should wrap the gifts while she sleeps." She said and got the wrapping paper and Kakashi grabbed the gifts. They wrapped the gifts and talked the whole time.
"I think getting her that cat will be good, I know mama would let her have it." Kitsune said.
"I agree, but where are we going to keep it?" Kakashi asked as he held the bow down so Kitsune could tie it.
"Here, when she comes over she can help take care of it. Besides, we could use a cat to keep an eye on the place. And this will not be like Mr. Ukki." She said giving her boyfriend an evil eye.
"Yes dear." He said with a smile. There was a knock on the door.
"Who could that be?" Kitsune asked aloud and went over to the door.
"Mom? Come in what is it?" Kitsune asked, her mother had a sad and somber expression.
"Gomen Kit, but I have to leave now for an A level mission. Is Sakura up?" she asked. She was dressed in her anbu gear and her fox mask was on the side of her head.
"No, but I'll get her up if you want auntie Ayuna." Kakashi said when he saw her.
"No! Just tell her mommy had to go see grandma. Tell her I'll be back, I'm sorry again." She said. Kitsune hugged her mother.
"It's okay mom. We understand how it is, we're Haruno women." Kitsune said trying to make her mother smile.
"Thank you dear. And you Kashi, I trust you with my two baby girls. Come here and give me a hug." She said. Kakashi gave the shorter woman a hug and she left them, but made sure to give them the gifts first. Sakura woke up and saw her sister and 'big brother' holding each other in front of the window. She went up to them and tugged on Kitsune's skirt. She picked her up and they looked outside, it was snowing.
"Wow! It's so beautiful sissy!" Sakura said with a smile.
"Sakura, mommy won't be joining us tonight, so you're staying here. She had to go see Grammy, but she said to tell you she loves you." Kitsune said kissing her sister's head. Sakura looked like she was going to cry, Kakashi looked around the room and got an idea.
"I think we should get a tree, what do you think Kura?" Kakashi asked.
"Really big brother?!" she asked, her face brighten up.
"Yep! What's Christmas with out a tree?" he asked ruffling her hair.
"Yay can we go get one now!? Please!" she asked.
"I don't see why not." Kitsune said and they got some warmer clothes on. They headed to the large tent near the Uchiha part of town where the trees were.
"This is going to be so much fun!" Sakura said as they walked into the tent there were other families were getting Christmas trees as well.
"Kitsune, Sakura, Kakashi? What are you three doing here?" a woman asked them. They turned around and saw Kiyuna, Sasuke and Itachi standing in front of a large Christmas tree.
"Hello Aunt Kiyuna, Itachi, Sasuke." Kitsune and Sakura said, Kakashi just nodded his head politely.
"We're getting a Christmas tree, because Sissy doesn't have one." Sakura said.
"Where's your mother?" Kiyuna asked.
"Mommy had to go see Grammy. So it's just us three for Christmas." Sakura said with sad eyes.
"Mom, maybe they can come to the party tonight?" Sasuke asked his mother.
"Yeah mom, the more the merrier right?" Itachi chipped in. Kiyuna smiled at her sons.
"I don't see why not, Kit and Kashi both have been to our Christmas parties. We'll see you three around six?" Kiyuna asked with her smile.
"Yes, thank you very much Aunt Kiyuna." Kitsune said bowing a little, Kakashi also bowed.
"We'll see you then." Kiyuna said and the three Uchihas disappeared.
"This is going to be a good Christmas!" Sakura said, she went over to some of the medium size trees.
"This is going to be an expensive Christmas." The two adults said in union. After a half hour of searching, they found a tree and went home. There they decorated it and then the two sisters went to shower and clean up.
"First time in two months I'll be showering alone. This sucks." He said aloud, as he grabbed his coat and went to the pet shop. There he got the cat and some supplies for the cat.
"I wonder what she's going to name this thing." He said as he left. When he got back to his apartment, Kitsune sand Sakura were already dressed up. He hid the cat in the bed room and got ready himself.
Kitsune had on a red long sleeve blouse, a dark green skirt that went to her ankles and had her hair down. Sakura had on a red dress that went to her knees with a green sash around her waist; she was also holding her gifts for Sasuke and Ino. It was half past five when Kakashi emerged in another dark red silk shirt and black dress pants.
"You don't have much of a wardrobe do you dear?" Kitsune asked.
"Not really." He said rubbing the back of his head.
"I'll have to get you some more styles." She said with a smile. They grabbed their coats and went to the Uchiha section of the town. When they arrived, she saw many of her relatives where there. They were greeted warmly and Sakura ran off to play with her cousin.
"This is nice, don't you think? I always love the parties the Uchiha throw." Kitsune said as she and Kakashi walked around the main house.
"So when did you two love birds finally become a couple?" Asuma asked as he ruffled Kakashi's hair.
"I guess we became a couple before dinner the other night." Kitsune said with a smile and red cheeks.
"What did you two do, exactly?" he asked, cocking an eye brow.
"Nothing like that." They said in union.
"Hahaha, yeah right. Then what did you two do, hmm?" he asked.
"That's none of your business." Kakashi said, both their cheeks had red in them.
"Whatever you say. Anyway why do you have the little runt? I thought she'd be with Ayuna."
"Mom had a mission to go on, so we have her for Christmas." Kitsune said.
"Kit, there you are. Come on I have something I want to show you." Kurenai said as she grabbed Kitsune's arm.
"Bye baby." Kakashi said and gave her a light kiss on the lips as she was dragged away.
"What is it Kurenai?" Kitsune asked.
"I want you to see this." The older girl smiled as she drug her friend after her. They stopped near one of the main houses and saw Sasuke and Sakura eating onigiri with Hinata, Ino, Naruto, Shikamaru, and Neji.
"They're so cute!" Kitsune said.
"I know, that's why I have a camera!" Kurenai said smiling. They took a few pictures then walked around and talked.
Near midnight.
Kitsune found Kakashi leaning against a door frame talking with Iruka and Asuma. She walked behind him and let her hands cover his eyes.
"Guess who."
"Hmm...a sexy lost girl?" he asked with a smirk. She hit him playfully on the arm.
"No baka." he turned around and hugged her.
"Then it must be my sexy girlfriend." He said kissing her lips.
"Good answer, boyfriend." She said with a smile.
"Get a room you two." Asuma said, lighting a cigarette.
"Stop smoking, it's bad for you baka." Kurenai said as she hit her friend on the back of his head.
"What was that for?"
"You shouldn't smoke, it could kill you." She said.
"You'll probably kill me first." He shot back and received a death glare from the female. The group laughed at this little antic of theirs.
"You two would make a cute couple." Kitsune said with a laugh.
"What was that?!" Kurenai asked, looking at her friend with evil eyes.
"Okay everybody; it's time for the moment we've all been waiting for." Sukame said, everyone gathered around him and his family, children going to their parents and couples getting together.
"Sister look what Sasuke and Ino gave me for Christmas." Sakura said as she ran to her sister. She had on a silver necklace that matched the bracelet Sasuke gave her and from Ino she got a new ribbon for her hair.
"That's very sweet of them, did they like their presents?"
"Yep!" she smiled. They turned their attention back to Sukame.
"WE, the Uchiha clan, would like to thank all of you who have attended our little get together and we hope you enjoy your Christmas and New Years." He said, ending his little speech. At midnight fireworks appeared and everyone watched the large display.
"I love you Kakashi." Kitsune said as her hand held his.
"I love you too, Kitsune." He said kissing her passionately on the lips.
"Yuck! Mushy stuff." Sakura said.
"I agree kido." Asuma said. After the fire works everyone went home. Kitsune leaned her head on Kakashi's shoulder as he held Sakura as she slept with one arm and had his around Kitsune's shoulders.
"This has been a fun Christmas." Kitsune said.
"Yes it has, you do realize we are going to have a small budget for a while right?"
"Yeah, I know. But I promise I'll make it up to you." She said, kissing his cheek. When they got home, Kitsune put Sakura in one of her smaller shirts and then covered her up in the bed. Kakashi sat on the couch with his shirt off and head back, looking up at the ceiling. Kitsune was in her sleeping kimono and held the small kitten in her arms. Her hair was down and her face was clean of make up.
"You know, I think you're going to like your Christmas gift." She said, as she sat down next to him and leaned into him.
"Really? What is it?" Kakashi asked as his arm went around her.
"You'll have to wait or Santa will bring you coal." She said with a chuckle.
"You still believe in Santa?"
"No, but it was fun when I was little. I would stay up late and wait for Santa, only to fall asleep and find that I had presents waiting for me when I woke up."
"I know what you mean. We should get to bed soon."
"Okay, let me give the kitten some sleeping milk." She said. Kitsune fed the cat some milk that would make it sleep until Sakura would get up and Kakashi laid the presents out. Then they went back to the bedroom. Kitsune crawled into bed and wrapped Sakura in her arms. Kakashi came out and saw how cute they looked sleeping peacefully like that. He grabbed the camera and took a quick picture of them. He was about to leave to sleep on the couch when Kitsune called out.
"Aren't you coming to bed dear?" she asked with a smile. Kakashi went over and slipped behind Kitsune, his arm going over Kitsune and Sakura.
"Good night dear." Kitsune said as she kissed him.
"Good night love." He replied and fell into a peaceful sleep.
The next morning.
Sakura was the first to wake up in the morning. She looked over to her sister who was sleeping. Behind her was her sister's boyfriend.
"Sister, is it time for presents yet?" Sakura asked as she sat up.
"Kashi, what time is it?" Kitsune asked groggily. Kakashi sat up a little and looked at the alarm clock behind him.
"Seven in the morning. Can't we sleep a little longer?" he asked.
"No presents!" Sakura said as she jumped up and down on the bed.
"Fine were up." they said in union, both tired. The three got up and went into the living room. Sakura squealed with joy when she saw all the presents.
"Santa came! Yay!" she said. They sat down and Sakura saw the cat sleeping.
"Sissy! Look the kitten I wanted! Santa brought it!" she squealed happily, waking the cat and hugging it.
"Well, what are you going to name it?" Kakashi asked.
"Hmm...I know one of sissy's favorite animals. I'll name her Tiger." She said rubbing its ear.
"That's cute." Kitsune said.
"Now let's open the other presents." Sakura said and after an hour all the presents were unwrapped. Sakura had gotten twenty presents from everybody, Kitsune got sixteen and Kakashi got fifteen.
"Well that's all of them." Kitsune said as she leaned back into the sofa and Kakashi put his arm around her. They watched Sakura play with the cat and some of the new toys she just received.
"Well, that's not all of the presents Kit." Kakashi said as he slipped a rectangular red velvet box in her hand. She gave him a questioning look before opening it and he urged her to open it.
"Oh my...its beautiful Kashi. Thank you so much." she said as she threw her arms around his neck and hugged him.
"I'm glad you like it dear." He said hugging her back.
"Yuck, mushy stuff. Come on let's play!" Sakura said as she jumped on her sister's lap and laughed.
"Okay fine, but I'm gonna tickle you to death!" Kitsune said and began to tickle the girl.
Two weeks later, the day of Kitsune's birthday.
Kitsune woke up in an empty bed again. She sighed, it had been a week since Kakashi went on the special assignment and she hated waking up alone, especially on her eighteenth birthday. She got out of bed and got into her anbu gear, she had a small mission to do today.
She met up with Anko at the corner and they went on their way, both wearing long black cloaks, hiding their faces and clothing.
"So when are you and Iruka going on a date?" Kitsune asked as they jumped from tree to tree.
"What? Why he's just a friend." Anko said.
"so you've met someone?"
"Yeah, he's so totally cool and charming and sexy." Anko said with a blush in her cheeks.
"really? What's his name?"
"I can't tell you yet."
"what ever, just don't cry when you two brake up. we're almost here." Kitsune said and they were silent. There was the group of rouges they needed to beat up. within ten minutes the girls were walking home, dragging the six men behind them.
"so, what do you wanna do tonight?" Anko asked when they were back home and at a small café.
"let's eat cake and watch some movies, I just wish Kakashi was here. I had a special night planned, but with him away its not gonna work." Kitsune said.
"don't worry girl, he promised to be here on your birthday and has he ever broke a promise to you?" Anko asked sipping at her drink.
"no..." Kitsune said. later that night, Kitsune and her close girlfriends were watching movies and eating birthday cake. After the movies they left, Kitsune looked at the clock it was only eleven thirty and she just sighed. It had started to snow and she watched for a few minutes. She got up and went into her bedroom. Taking off her clothes, putting on one of Kakashi's large shirts, she crawled into bed and the cat curled up next to her. She slept and didn't hear the door to the apartment open or the footsteps of a man coming to her bedroom. It was eleven fifty five and Kitsune woke up when she felt the charka coming close. It was tired and felt weak, she open one eye and saw a man standing over the bed. She sat up face and held a kunai knife in front of her, but realized she didn't need it when she saw it was Kakashi.
"Kashi!" she screamed as she got out of bed and pulled him into her embrace. She felt how cold he was and a wet liquid and looked at him, he was bleeding and his skin was very pale.
"What happen?!" she asked, getting worried.
"Kitsune, I'm alright. I'm just glad I made it." he said with a smile.
"Kakashi, what do you mean? You should let me take a look at your wounds and look how cold you are." She said as took off his white shield guard and the top of his shirt, finding the large gash and the several smaller cuts.
"Kitsune, stop." She looked up at him.
"I'm sorry I wasn't here earlier, but it was hard trying to make it here and not get killed." He said and took something out of his pocket. Kitsune wondered what he had in his hand.
"I'm here on time to say happy birthday though." He said, Kitsune looked at the clock, it was eleven fifty nine.
"you baka you could have gotten killed." She said as she hugged him.
"I know, but you're worth the pain." He said kissing her and slipped a silver ring with a small heart shaped garnet on it. "Happy birthday baby." Kitsune looked at the ring and she let her tears fall.
"I know it would be too soon to ask you to marry me, but I am making you a big promise close enough to it." he began, the pain and the fact that he was becoming tired was causing him to start to black out. "but I promise that I will always be by your side and I'll always be loyal, honest and loving to you and only you. I love you Kitsune." Kakashi said and was about to faint.
"Kakashi..." she said as she hugged him and kissed him. "thank you, I love you too." He fainted in her arms.
Four in the morning.
Kitsune had changed and now had Kakashi's head resting on her abdomen and his body in between her legs, giving him warmth. He was still asleep, but she had fixed him up and he was lying nude in their bed with the thick blanket over them and she looked at the ring on her finger. 'is he really serious? Does he mean he'll stay by my side forever?' she thought.
"I mean it Kit, I'm yours forever." He said as though he could read her thoughts. He looked up at her and she bent over and kissed him on the lips.
"this is the best gift I ever have received." She said and she started to play with his hair and he closed his eyes, not sleeping but enjoying the fact he was home and with his Kitsune.
