This chapter I dedicate to you Egypt-sama! I have no intentions of adding your many ridiculous last names, so don't ask why. Everyone else thanks for reading and reviewing! I love you much and will do my best to please you guys. Any ideas for later, throw them at me. I'm ready. Till then its chapter five.

Chapter 5- Perfect Gift

He stared at it. There was a long silence. Nothing could have been done. Not at that moment. Kakashi was stuck. 'Aww man. I've got to be critical. This is a life or death situation. If I don't make the right move its over. All over. I wish Naruto and everyone was here. I never thought I'd be stuck needing their help with something so grave.' Kakashi stood there. (A/N: You all wish you knew what he was doing, don't you?)

Kakashi stood outside a toy store. He looked into it. 'Hello Kitty' stuff everywhere. (A/n I LOVE HELLO KITTY!) From clothes, to toys to stationary items, the entire thing was 'Hello Kitty'. '.Girls like this kind of thing, don't they?' His unsettled mind was battling within himself to decide what to get Yui for her birthday. His sole reasons were still burned in the back of his mind from last night…

He was walking in the streets of Konoha under the beautiful starry moonlight. He was deep into thought of the perfect present for little Yui's birthday.

"Hmm… what should I get?" Kakashi whispered to himself. He faced many things in his life: A rank missions, the deadliest of shinobis, encountering the Akatsuki, (Especially Itachi) Orochimaru and previous role as Anbu, but none could compare to this situation at hand:

Finding the perfect birthday gift for Yui.

Life was never this hard. No previous experiences could have ever prepared him for this. What was he to do?

'Hm….' Rather unsure of what to get the woman he thought maybe he should get some things she'd need at base. 'Shurikens?' He quickly frowned when he thought even further what she'd use them for. 'She doesn't need anymore stuff to throw at me….Hm…something feminine? Um…Maybe lingerie?' He paused when an image of Sakura and Yui pulverizing him came to mind. 'No. Another threat to my existence. Definitely no.' He looked around at some of the shops and frowned again. His hope was dwindling away by the second…. 'Could this possibly be my end?'

'Mommy!' A child called out.

'What now?'

'I want that one!'

'No, honey.'

'THAT ONE!' She screamed. Kakashi turned around to see a little girl crying to her mother for something.

'No, I don't have the money for such things.' The woman grabbed the child's hand and walked away. Kakashi looked into the store. His eye lit up. Could this be the right gift? It just had to be. The little girl had wanted so badly meaning it was as important as life.

'…is this what I should get her?' He said to himself. He leaned in and stared into the window. 'It's got to be.'

Now here he was again, staring into the store, this time with second thoughts. 'No. no good.' He thought and shook his head. 'No good at all.' He turned away from the store and sighed. This wasn't gonna work. Again it was late afternoon and he had no idea what to do.

"Hm?" Naruto said as he looked across the road. "Hey, why is Kakashi-sensei staring into the 'Hello Kitty' store?" Naruto asked.

"Huh? What?" Sakura looked and saw him as well. "Huh? What's he doing?"

"…Idiot." Sasuke muttered.

"You know this could severe as good blackmail…" Naruto began.

"No." Sakura said flatly.

"Come on!" He whined.

Kakashi looked around and saw his students were simply there staring at him from across the road. 'What? Why are they here?' In his head a little Pakkun was trying to reach a light switch. He hopped up and down, but it was not in his access. Then a chibi version of Yui came over, picked dear Pakkun off the floor allowing him to flip the switch. 'They could help me.'

"Sakura-chan why is Kakashi-sensei looking at us like that?" Naruto asked her.

"I don't…" She began. Inner Sakura frowned and began to shout. 'He wants something! He's gonna make you do something. Something stupid! Run away!'

"Sakura?" Naruto asked.

"Hm? Uh, guys let's go."

"Why?"

"Because Kaka---"

"Sakura!" Kakashi called.

"Shit!" Sakura spat. Her companions looked at her, surprised by her language. "Quit gawking and start running!" She said and grabbed the two boys. The group ran through the crowds of the streets. They hoped they wouldn't be caught by their teacher. They hoped. They didn't really feel like doing any favors, only not to be repaid.

They finally came to a stop and looked around to see if he was anywhere near. "I don't sense his presence anymore." Naruto said.

"Yeah. I think we lost him." She said.

"Lost who?" Kakashi stood behind the group. "I can't ever imagine why you'd run from me." He said to them.

"Crap." Sasuke muttered.

"What now Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura began.

"Why you do automatically assume I want something?" He asked.

"Because you always do." The three of them said in unison. He smiled goofily to his students and they simply frowned.

Yui sat in her apartment. She was bored. "I wonder why Kakashi made me take today off." She looked out the window and sighed. "Is a day without him really so dull? Damn it." She thought about the conversation they had yesterday, after their training session had been cut.

"I'm your teacher, do as I say." Kakashi told Yui.

"But, we've made it so far, why stop now?" She asked.

"Because I said for you to."

"But---"

"It ends here." Kakashi ruffled Yui's blonde hair and she sighed.

"Stop treating me like a child." She pushed his hand away and pouted. "I hate when you do that."

"I know. That is why I do it."

"I hope you burn in hell."

"No need to hope. I'm sure all the sins I've committed against you in the past month has already guaranteed me a first class ticket there." He sat down on the ground as she sat beside him.

"I'm not even tired." The two had been training since the crack of dawn. Noon was slowly rolling around and Kakashi just called off the whole thing. It was hot, but Yui still felt the need to go on. She didn't understand why Kakashi had called it off. Down to the bone, it bothered her how quickly he just quit. "You wouldn't be quitting because you're afraid I might beat you, would you?"

"Yui, you haven't beaten me all this time. Today is no different." He told her and leant against the tree behind them.

"Whatever. You're just afraid to admit I may have surpassed your expectations."

"No, I'm not. I am very proud that you've done so well in such a short amount of time."

"Really?"

"Yes. I'm sure your mother will regret everything she's thought of you."

"…" Yui looked at Kakashi. Her eyes seemed to glow again. The same kind of glow it had that night he realized he cared for her. "Thanks." She smiled.

"You are welcome. Now get going. You have today and tomorrow off." He got up and brushed the dirt from himself.

"Both today and tomorrow?" She got up and frowned. "Why?"

"I have some things I to take care of, that's all." He told her. Yui frowned more. "What's the matter? Hm? You don't want me to leave your side? I knew you cared for me." He smiled to her.

"No! It's just that…well…" She looked at her feet and kicked away a rock. "You know what! Whatever! I'll enjoy my two days without you! I had things I've been meaning to get to anyway." She gathered her things and looked to him. "I'll see you in two days. Or maybe I'll stay away longer! Yeah! I'll go on a week long break from your dumb ass."

"That's just fine."

"Okay then!" She began to head off when he called to her.

"Oh, meet me in the park by twilight tomorrow."

"What! Why? I thought I was going to get a break from you."

"You get this afternoon up to tomorrow evening for a break."

"So then why let me think I could have a break for an entire week!"

"You seemed happy. I like it when you smile."

"…" Yui began to blush furiously. She couldn't tell why she had been blushing so, and if he was really serious or not. 'He said that with a straight face. Um…what's he getting at!' He shook her head violently. "Whatever! Fine, I'll see you tomorrow!" She walked off and Kakashi smiled.

"I hate this! I'm bored!" She jumped and frowned. "BORED SILLY!" She shouted as if hoping someone would hear. Then there was a knock on her door. "Hm?" She headed to the door and heard the knocking become louder. On the other side she could hear voices.

"Naruto, you idiot!" Sakura said.

"Sakura-chan you hit too hard!" Naruto cried.

"Idiot." Sasuke said.

"The hell?" She said. She opened the door and saw Naruto being screamed at by Sakura and Sasuke simply nodding to it all. "Uh…what are you guys doing?"

"Hm…" They blinked. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY YUI!" Naruto shouted.

"Birthday…?" She asked them.

"Yep. August 14 right?" Naruto said to her.

"Yeah…I guess."

"Then today's your birthday!" He ran to her and hugged her. She blushed slightly and simply hugged back.

"Thanks, I suppose."

"Yui you didn't even remember your own birthday?" Sakura asked.

"No. It never crossed my mind."

"Well then do we have a surprise for you!" Naruto said while snuggling into her chest.

"Pervert!" Sakura grabbed the blonde by his ear and began to scream at him for his behavior. Those next door came out to see what all the noise was. "You think you're so smooth, don't you! You think I wouldn't notice you burying your face in her breast, huh?" Sasuke sighed and Yui simply sweat dropped.

"How about I get ready and we can go."

"Wear something nice, okay?" Naruto said in between Sakura's screaming.

"Sure." Yui went into her apartment to change. She wasn't exactly your typical woman, but she did like to dress nice. She opened her close and went through it. She found it hard to find something nice enough. She hadn't fun in a while and wanted to look nice for a change. "This should be fine." She changed into a pure silk shoulder-less dress with flower bouquets patterns. She slipped on a pair of slippers and picked up a small white purse. She stepped outside and saw that the noise had stopped and the boys were staring and Sakura had a big smile. "Too dressed-up?" She asked.

"No. it's your birthday, and you look great!" Sakura told her.

"Yui…uh…" Naruto could barely speak. He was blushing red and his eyes kept shifting around. "You…you…look beautiful Yui-chan." He finally said. Yui smiled to him and noticed Sasuke was blushing as well.

"Yeah, you look nice Yui." Sasuke said.

"Thank you boys." She walked over to the two and kissed each on the cheek. "You two are so cute." She smiled. Naruto and Sasuke turned a beet red. "I'm grateful, you all are really sweet."

"Haha. Yui, you're really nice when Kakashi-sensei isn't around." Sakura said to her.

"Well, there's no need to be so mean when that bastard isn't around." Yui smiled to her.

"So, let's get going." Sasuke said and walked ahead.

Kakashi smiled. They were gone. Time to begin. He slipped in through Yui's window. "She should keep it closed." He looked around the apartment. It was simple, just like his own. He couldn't believe he was actually doing this. 'Am I really so desperate...YES.' He searched around her dresser to see if there was anything in particular the woman owned. After going over her stuff for about five minutes he sighed in defeat. 'Nothing. She has nothing. What's with this girl?' He snooped around some more and frowned. 'I really can't find anything.' He sighed again. What was he to do now? '…I'll get advice. Kurenai. She should know.' He left the apartment leaving no trace of him being there.

The two boys walked ahead while Yui and Sakura followed. In her head Yui wondered many things. Why? How'd they know her birthday when she never told them? What was going on? Moreover, what was Kakashi doing at this very moment? 'No! I shouldn't be thinking about that bastard…besides I'll see him later today anyway.' She smiled slightly when she thought about it even further. 'I'm excited about seeing him.' She quickly blushed and shook her head. Soon she was giggling. The three teens in her company began to stare, as well as other people.

"Yui-chan you okay?" Naruto asked.

"Hm? Ye—yes. Sorry about that."

"Why are cheeks so red?" Sakura asked.

"Huh? No—nothing. You worry too much." She straightened herself up and leaned close to Naruto's face. "Now about that surprise?" She looked to Sakura and Naruto who smiled nervously.

"Ah…um…." 'Crap, we didn't plan anything.' Naruto thought.

"Today's the 14. By the Academy they're doingTetsuya Odori Festival We were going to take you there." Sasuke said after a few moments of silence.(A/N: Tetsuya Odori Festival 13-16 August Gujo-Hachiman, Gifu Prefecture Major Bon Festival for which many thousands come to watch and dance through the night. I just threw this in there for I didn't know what they were gonna do either. I know I'm pathetic.)

"Hm? Really? I haven't been to a festival in so long."

"So, you'll have fun then!" Naruto jumped up.

"Yeah. Let's go." She walked along with Sasuke and Naruto sighed.

"Sasuke saved us."

"Naruto, next time plan ahead."

"Sakura-chan you didn't know what we were going to do either, so there!" He said as he stuck his tongue out to the pink haired girl. Sakura smiled to him and soon laughed to his silly behavior. Naruto stopped and began laughing too.

"Next time watch where you put your tongue because I just may do something with it for you." She told him in between laughter. Naruto stopped and looked at Sakura. He looked to her and his cheeks turned a slight pink.

"Whenever you're ready." He said.

"Huh?" Sakura looked at Naruto who had the most serious look on his face.

"Just tell me when." He smirked and ran off to catch up with Yui and Sasuke.

"…" 'What was he getting at?' Sakura found she was standing there blushing furiously. She shook her head and began running as to catch up to the group which was ahead of her.

"You, want my help?" Kurenai said to him.

"Yes."

"For some woman?"

"Her birthday is today and I'd like to get her a gift."

"Hm…you have no clue what she likes?"

"None."

"Typical man." Kurenai sighed and smiled to her comrade. "This is going to be tough. Okay, what kind of things do you notice about her?"

"She's violent."

"…What other things?"

"…"

"Noting else?"

"Not really." He shrugged.

"Geez, a ninja genius but totally clueless about the opposite sex."

"Not totally clueless." He said in defense. He wasn't clueless about women. Actually many women loved Kakashi. He was an expert with the female sex. He was just totally clueless about Yui. "It's just her."

"Then you must really like her. Guys are only confused by women they like."

"Really now?" He asked. The crowd surrounding them became bigger and Kurenai smiled.

"I'm glad you came to me for help."

"Who else was I to go to? Anko? That woman is crazy." 'Maybe I should have gone to her.'

"Okay, whatever. The time for idle chat is done. Let's find the most suitable birthday gift for her." The two walked along for a few hours. They finally decided to get something to eat. They hadn't found anything and Kurenai was getting bored.

As they sat at a local restaurant eating dumplings Kakashi looked around and frowned. He was becoming hopeless. "Are you sure there's nothing about her you notice? Anything she talks about? Or rarely mentions?" Kurenai asked and took a bite of her last dumpling.

"Her father." Kakashi spat.

"What?"

"She was very close to her father. He passed away."

"Well then…we should find her something that would increase sentiment?"

"Maybe."

"You know what Kakashi? I think you know what you want to give her. You just can't find it."

"Well that's what you're for."

"Okay, something to increase sentiment." Kurenai sat there in deep thought. Kakashi whipped out a book in the meantime. After a few moments passed she said something. "Jewelry.

"Jewelry?"

"Yeah! I'm sure she'll love it."

"I guess…how is that to be used for sentiment?"

"You could get her what reminds her of her dad. Something she'll never put down."

"Yeah."

The group watched the dancers. Occasionally Sakura would have to pull Naruto away from the crowd, for he'd wander off with the women. Yui and Sasuke could only laugh at the two and by this time, minutes to ten, they were eating Unagi (A/N: it's eel). "This is really great you guys! Thank you so much." She smiled to them. The festival was reaching its liveliest point and they were having a great time.

"I wish Kakashi-sensei was here. He'd have fun too." Naruto said as took another bite of the eel.

"Yeah.." Yui looked into the sky and blinked a few times. "OH GOD!"

"What's wrong?" Sakura asked.

"I was suppose to meet Kakashi in the park, and---later!" She got up and ran off leaving the three teens there.

"She didn't even say—" Naruto frowned.

"THANK YOU!" She shouted as she ran.

"Hm…HAPPY BIRTHDAY YUI-CHAN!" Naruto shouted back to the running form.

Yui ran as fast her feet could carry her in the slippers she was wearing. "I hope he didn't leave." She made it to the park and saw a dark figure on a bench. "He's still here?" She walked over to the figure and saw it was bum.

"Heeeyyyy yyyyouuuu looookkkk nnniccceeee…" He said to her in a drunken slur. He stood up and walked towards Yui who simply stepped back.

"Don't touch me." She hissed.

"Come on." He reached for Yui who grabbed his wrist.

"I said don't touch me." She broke the man's wrist and he cried in pain.

"AHHHHHHHHH! LEMME GO YOU WHORE!" Yui released him and he staggered back. "DIRTY BITCH!" He picked up his beer bottle and threw it to Yui. She side stepped and another dark figure caught it.

"That's no way to treat a woman on her birthday." Kakashi dropped the bottle to the ground and stepped beside Yui.

"I thought you left. I should have know you didn't even arrive yet." She said to him.

"Yeah. Now gimme a moment." He began to walk towards the man who turned around and ran. "Oh, that was easier than I thought."

"My hero." Yui said sarcastically. "If I didn't know better, I'd say you planned this."

"Maybe I did." He walked over to the bench and sat down. He gestured for Yui to join him. Although reluctant Yui did sit beside him and the fireflies lit up the area. "You look great." He said to her.

"What? This thing, well…my mother gave it me."

"Beautful."

"The dress? I know it is."

"No. You." He looked to her and she blushed slightly. Her eyes looked to his own and she scooted over a bit.

"If I didn't know better, I'd say you were flirting with me." She said nervously.

"Maybe I am." Yui felt her breath stop. Her heart began racing and again she scooted over.

"I…uh…well…"

"Here." Kakashi pulled out a smooth black case. "For you." He smiled to her as he handed her the gift. "You'd never believe the headache it gave me to find it for you." Yui took the case and sent her fingers across the smooth texture. Although interested, she was worried. In her head she could imagine all the different things he put in there.

'Worms, or something stupid like that.' He looked up to him and saw he was serious. No stupid look, or anything mischievous. He seemed truly genuine. "Okay, but if it's a prank I'll murder you." She slowly opened the case and saw the gift inside, 14K White Gold Heart Locket with Diamond. "…"

Kakashi smiled. "If I didn't know better I'd say you liked it."

"…Where? Why? Huh?" More than anything that moment Yui was confused. "Kakashi…"

"Open it." She looked at it the treasure in her hands and slowly opened it. Inside of the locket was an image of her father. "Hapy Birthday." Kakashi said to her.

"Kakashi…" Yui began as tears welled up her eyes.

"You like it?"

"No, I love it." She turned her head to the jounin and smiled. "I love it so much." She smiled as the tears slid down her cheeks.Kakashi took the fine jewelry from her and placed it around her neck. "This is so unexpected."

"I'm glad you like it so much." He locked the chain around her neck and she smiled. "You look beautiful."

"Why'd you do it?" She asked wiping the tears from hereyes.

"Before you say thanks you question why I bought it?"

"I just wanted to know why."

"Because…you deserve it." He ruffled her hair and smiled. "Amazing."

"Thanks so much.I know it is." She said while sending her finger around the locket's shape.

"You I mean."

"…" She blushed and turned away quickly. Yui found her breathing had changed and her heart was racing even faster. 'What's he getting at! Why all of this? And…'

"Yui." He called. She turned her head and before she knew it they were face to face.

"…Ye—yes?" Kakashi leant in closer to her. His hand was over his face and slowly pulling down the fabric which covered it. "YES?" She exclaimed and turned away. She began to sweat and her heart was pounding in her chest. His lips came close to her ear and she felt his warm breath on her neck. "Kakashi…" She began.

"Yui…" He called seductively.

"Ye—yes…?"

"Got…you."

"…" Yui felt all the heat in her body change. It flared up wildly from passion to anger. "YOU MOTHER FUCKING BITCH!" She screamed as she jumped up. By this time Kakashi had already re-covered his face and was laughing.

"I couldn't help it." He smiled to her.

"You-you ruin everything!" She screamed a little less louder. "And…" She stopped when she realized one of her great fears.

"You lost your voice."

"No. I…" She placed her hands around her throat to feel it was sore and in pain. "I…crap." She said in a low tone.

"Hm. You're throat is sore. Poor baby lemme see."

"Don't touch me." She said hoarsely. Kakashi approached her and touched her shoulder. "I said you're not to touch me!" She tried to scream but it wasn't at all successful. "Damn."

"Hm." Behind them fireworks had begun. The ongoing festival had reached the best part. "Look, fireworks." He pointed up into the sky and she looked up.

"Beautiful!" Her eyes lit up once more.

"Yeah…" Kakashi said staring at her. "So beautiful."

"Night, Kakashi." Yui waved as the apartment door closed. As he headed out singing a song of joy he came across three miserable and angry students.

"We're hungry." Naruto said.

"And broke." Sakura said.

"What was the point of us taking Yui out today?" Sasuke asked. Kakashi looked to his three students and smiled.

"None!" He said.

"…"

"WHAT!" Sakura shouted. "I waste my time and money for nothing?"

"No…actually didn't you all have a good time with Yui?"

"Well…yeah." Naruto answered.

"Then why complain? You took her out for her birthday right? I want no complains from you. Now, goodnight." Kakashi walked off leaving them there.

"He…" Sakura began.

"We just…" Naruto said.

"He played us." Sasuke simply stated. The three teens simply frowned and sighed. It had happened again.

A/N: Cute huh? That's it for this chapter. See you next chapter. If it did suck though (which I think it did) please don't hate me. I'm sick and it's hard to write with a pounding headache. LATER DAYZ!
