Chapter 7-Why You Are

As the sun slowly went down Yui walked ahead slowly. In her mind she just realized what she had said to Kakashi, and was worried whether he took her seriously or not. 'I hope he doesn't really think I was being serious. But if he does... why not have fun with it!' She began to laugh loudly and Naruto frowned.

"She's so creepy when she laughs like that." He said. Sasuke nodded in agreement and Sakura raised an eyebrow.

"Come on guys, leave her alone. You're always bothering the girl." She said.

"No, Kakashi-sensei is always bothering her. We laugh." He said in defense.

"Whatever." She walked up ahead and caught up to Yui, who was done with her evil laughter. "You okay?" Sakura asked.

"Yeah, just hungry." She held her stomach and frowned. "Kakashi didn't let me eat breakfast today. And again he was late."

"Yeah, Kakashi-sensei is like that." She smiled slightly.

"Sakura, I hope what you saw doesn't make you think any less of me."

"No. It doesn't at all. I thought it was kind of cute."

"…Don't." Yui shot Sakura a glare.

"Okay." She smiled.

Kakashi was slowly walking behind the group thinking. In his head he was wondering what Yui really meant. It excited him, and he couldn't wait. Still…for her to just come out like that…it worried him a bit. Just a bit. 'Was she serious? Could it be she's smartening up to my game? No, she's to quick tempered for that. So...what's she up to?'

"Sakura-chan!" Naruto called.

"No need to scream I'm standing next to you." She said.

"Oh. Listen, Sasuke and I were talking---"

"He was talking, I just nodded."

"Yeah, so anyways, we all should get Yui and Kakashi-sensei together." Naruto finished.

"Well, yeah I agree." They whispered amongst themselves. "Yui says she's hungry, why don't we send them on a dinner date?" Sakura looked to Naruto who smiled back.

"Great! Sakura-chan I love your brains, maybe we should go on a date after!" He smiled to her again.

"Thanks for the compliment, but no." She said flatly.

"I tried." He frowned. "So Sasuke you'll help out?"

"Need you ask stupid questions?" Sasuke replied.

"I guess that's yes." Sakura said. The two boys slowed they're pace to walk with Kakashi while Sakura speeded up hers to walk with Yui again. "You said you're hungry? Let's go eat out Yui-chan." Sakura smiled to the woman who shook her head in a negative response.

"I wanna go home and shower. I smell like that bastard." She told her.

"No, you look and smell just fine."

"I don't want to."

"You said you were hungry." Sakura pouted and formed a cute puppy face, pleading to Yui. "Please come and eat." Yui couldn't turn the pink haired girl away again. Her face and behavior brought memories of her younger sister.

"Okay." She smiled.

"Great." Sakura jumped up. She smiled to Yui and hugged her.

"Hey," She laughed. "Gimme some space." She ruffled the younger female's hair and smiled. "Why so happy about it?"

"Oh, no particular reason."

The boys looked to Kakashi who was in a world of his own. Different thoughts playing over in his head caused him to ignore the existence of the two young males to his side. Naruto looked to Sasuke, who looked back and they poked the man in his arms simultaneously. "What?" He said after a minute of having them poke.

"We should go out and eat." Naruto said to him.

"I have no money." He lied.

"Sure you do, but we'll be paying so it won't matter." Naruto smiled. "Besides, wouldn't you like to eat out with Yui? Huh? We could stay if you want. Or leave. It's up to you. Depending on your decision, this could be a date." Naruto looked to Sasuke and winked. Sasuke smiled back and joined in on the fun.

"Kakashi, it's clearly obvious you are attracted to Yui." Sasuke said lowly. Kakashi stopped walking for a moment and looked to the boy who spilled his ever so secretive secret. "It may not be obvious to her because you like her, but to us, it is very obvious. Time spent with us over the years has taken from you ability to lie to us."

"Not really. We never believed him when he'd lie." Naruto said.

"Take this opportunity to go out with her. No jokes, or games, but a serious date." Sasuke looked to Kakashi with a stare that made it seem like he was the adult. Kakashi smiled and soon laughed.

"I like your approach Sasuke. Very nice. But my answer is no." He said to the teen.

"Then I suppose you don't mind if I tell her you like her myself then, right?"

"Sasuke, you sound confident about this case. What proof do you have I like her?" Kakashi asked and leant in to the young boy. His eye stared deep into Sasuke's own. Sasuke simply smiled.

"You brought her jewelry."

"I was just being nice."

"You flirt with her constantly."

"I'm joking."

"You mumbled in your sleep once how badly you wanted her."

"Really?"

"Naruto heard it."

"You believe everything Naruto says?"

"Sakura did too. You and I know she's the most honest person of our group. We also know Yui trusts her most. If Sakura was to say to Yui you were interested in her, she'd definitely believe it. I know this for a fact." Sasuke said. By the way he stated his case he sounded as if a lawyer in court. Kakashi didn't feel like arguing with the child, and Naruto was staring to sing to himself. This was sign his boredom was increasing and soon he'd start trivial conversation. Usually this would lead to why Sakura would never date him and Sasuke leaving him to deal with Naruto alone. He didn't want any of this to go on, so he smiled to the boy and sighed.

"You win. I'll take her out."

"No games played?" Naruto asked.

"None." He responded.

"Noting stupid. You'll be a true gentleman." Sasuke said.

"I'll be on my best behavior." Kakashi smiled.

"Good." He smiled. His deed was done. He could now get on with his life without Naruto bringing this up again, or so he hoped.

Naruto smiled. He was happy it was that easy. He looked ahead and smiled to the female figures walking further on. He whistled loudly and Sakura turned around. He gave her a smile of accomplishment and she smiled back. "So, let's go to the Korean Barbeque. I'm staring." Sakura said to Yui. "Hey guys you heard that?"

"Yeah, just fine." Kakashi said.

Sasuke waited outside. As they arrived in the restaurant Yui headed towards the restroom and Sakura called over to a waiter. "Hey!" He greeted to her knowing they were regulars like Asuma's team.

"Hi. Um..it's the usual."

"For all of you, right?"

"No. Just two. We're not all staying." She told him.

"Hm? Okay. You want something nice?"

"Very nice. Just for my sensei and my older friend."

"The blonde?"

"Yep."

"Okay. I'll see what I can do."

"Here's your pay now. She handed in cash which was pooled in by Naruto and Sasuke plus her own amounts. "Can you do this before she gets from the restroom?"

"Sure." He looked over to Kakashi and directed him towards a private table. He returned to Sakura with a smile. "I've got him set. That's all?" He asked.

"Yeah. Thanks." She smiled to the waiter boy. He smiled back and leant in close to her.

"Maybe you and I can go on our own date sometime."

"Maybe you should give Sakura her space." Naruto said tapping the guy's shoulder.

"And who are you, her boyfriend?" He asked and frowned.

"Hey, leave this nonsense alone and come on. I want to go home already." Sakura said to Naruto. "No thanks on your offer. Sorry." She smiled to the boy. "And yes he is my boyfriend." She grabbed Naruto's hand and smiled even larger. "So don't make such a move again. Bye now." She walked out the restaurant waving to Kakashi as she went.

"Sakura-chan you mean it?" Naruto asked as they made it outside. He had a look of hope in his blue eyes.

"No. But I lied and said you were. This way he'd leave me alone, thinking I was taken." She released his hand and smiled.

"Oh." He looked away. "Why can't we be though?" He asked, not changing his gaze.

"Huh?" she looked to him. 'What do you mean?"

"Why can't you have feelings for me? Why can't we go out?" He asked again.

"Naruto…I don't… I don't see you that way." She touched his shoulder and he shrugged it off.

"Why not?"

"I don't want to talk about this again. Let's just find Sasuke and go home."

"We use to be together." He said. Sakura turned around and frowned. "Then you wanted to drop it when Sasuke returned. The relationship we had created ended. You use to let me kiss you."

"Not this again! I don't want to talk about it. Can we just go?"

"…Sure." He walked past her coldly. "Let's find Sasuke and go." He walked on ahead leaving her standing there.

'…Naruto, I can't stay with you…when I still love him. I'd only hurt you more. That's something I don't want to do.' The mid September breeze blew coolly and Sakura looked to the ground. She snapped out of her trance and ran ahead to get the guys.

Yui saw Kakashi sitting alone. In her head many thoughts played. 'Where are those blasted kids! They tricked me!' She looked around and saw they were no where in sight. 'I'm going home.' She stepped forward and suddenly stopped when she heard the loud grumble of her stomach. 'I am really hungry…but I don't want to eat with him! He always makes me pay! I have no cash on me today. Hm…..' Her stomach growled louder. 'Fine. I'll stay and eat.' She walked over to the table and sat down. Kakashi removed his book from his face and smiled to her.

"Hi."

"No. Where are those kids?"

"Oh…well…Sakura said she was on a diet. Naruto planned to go eat with Iruka and Sasuke is Sasuke." He told her.

"Damn punks tricked me into staying with you. I can't figure out why." She crossed her legs and picked up the menu. "Might as well eat. You are paying, right?"

"They paid before going."

"Oh." Her eyes went across the menu searching for what to order. Kakashi did the same. The silence in between them was deadly. After a while the two ordered and had eaten up. They ordered desert as well and waited for the waiter to return. Yui couldn't help but ask the question that had been eating away at her since the dinner begun. "Why haven't you done anything yet?"

"Hm?" Kakashi looked to her and smiled. "What do you mean?"

"You didn't pull any stupid tricks on me. No rude jokes or anything. What's up with you?" She asked.

"I believe I've troubled you enough today. Can't I be nice?" He said as the waiter placed before them slices of strawberry short cake.

"…" Yui looked at her slice and smiled. 'He's waiting for me to make my move, huh? Well I'll show him what I can do.' "Okay. I guess it's alright then. I had no reason to get upset. Sorry." She took her fork and brushed it against the whipped cream on the desert. She then brought the utensil to her lips and licked it gently. "I shouldn't have been so rude." Her tongue danced lightly against the fork's mental ends and she whispered to him. "But you like naughty girls, don't you?" Kakashi's eye widened. She was playing the game now.

"I guess so. I don't like them too naughty though. They tend to have superiority complexes." He watched her eat more. Every last movement she made, his eye would be sure to catch her. "You? Do you like naughty guys?"

"Maybe. Sometimes. Depends on my mood." She slipped her foot out her heel and slowly placed it in his lap. "Usually I take guys who know what to give me." She said to him seductively. Kakashi smiled. He couldn't help himself. He just had to. It was hard enough restraining himself the whole meal.

"Hm…you say this…yet you're the virgin." He said bluntly. Yui frowned bitterly and took her foot from in between his legs. "I was just saying." She sighed deeply.

"Why? It was going so well and you ruined it. Why must you ruin everything?"

"To tell you the honest truth, it's fun." He simply stated.

"Fun? You torment people!"

"Yeah."

'Why?"

"I'm a ninja, I'm a little sadistic."

"…Good point made."

"You want to see how fun it is?"

'Hm?"

"I'll show you how fun it is to bother people. You get laughs out of their torment."

"…Ahh…I have nothing else better to do. Let's go." The two gathered themselves and left the restaurant.

"There." Kakashi pointed to a couple sitting in the park. He and Yui were hiding in bushes, like a pair of kids playing hide and seek. "Try it out."

"But…what should I say?"

"Hm…the two look familiar. I think its Gai's kids, Neji and Tenten. I don't believe they're very open about the relationship, so why not let them know that you'll keep their secret." He pushed her forward and she slowly stepped out the bush. She approached the two teens sitting on the bench and smiled.

"Hi." She greeted.

"Hm...hi Ms.Yui." Tenten waved nervously. 'Where's she come from?' Neji looked to her and frowned. He sensed the presence of his teacher's 'rival'. Crap.

"Good Evening Ms.Yui." Neji greeted.

"So what are you two doing out here so late?" she asked as if a simple school girl.

"We were just chatting." Tenten responded.

"Really? Just the two of you? I see Gai, and Lee no where." She looked around the area quickly and frowned. "I guess it is just the two of you." She sat don in between them and crossed her legs. "What were you talking about? Hm…?"

"Nothing important. Just idle chat." Tenten smiled nervously once again.

'Oh..idle..okay…." She nodded. "But if idle then why are you blushing?"

"No…reason." Tenten looked away and Neji sighed.

"Hm..Neji, you and Tenten wouldn't be dating would you?" Yui asked absent minded.

"…Why is it your concern?" He asked her.

"Oh…since you respond that way…I guess I could say… you are dating. It's just you don't want anyone to know." She got up and placed her hands on her hips. "Don't worry. I won't say to anyone that 'NEJI AND TENTEN ARE DATING!' I mean that's just wrong since you want to keep it a low key relationship." She smiled. Tenten blushed furiously and Neji's frown became even bitterer.

"Please Ms.Yui keep your voice down." Tenten whispered.

"Why? I told you I wasn't telling anyone about this. You worry too much. It's not like I'm going to walk around Konoha screaming 'TENTEN AND NEJI ARE DATING!' really loud." Neji slapped his forehead and Tenten looked around nervously.

"Please keep your voice down." She pleaded. "Please."

"Okay. Okay. I'm sorry to bother you two lovebirds. You really are cute together. I'll just be going. Bye." She waved and walked away. Neji quickly got up and grabbed Tenten, walking away as if being pursed.

When Yui returned to her hiding space she saw a laughing Kakashi. "Good job, on your first try." He said in between laughs.

"Hey, that was kind of funny." She giggled. "I liked it."

"Wanna do some more?" He asked. "The people of Konoha are just victims, lined up."

"Okay, I guess. The night is young." The two left the bushes and Kakashi grabbed her hand.

"Iruka has this neighbor who gives him muffins after her work day is done. I believe there's something to mess around with there." He smiled.

"Sure." She nodded. The two left the park and headed over to the apartment complexes. The entire evening Kakashi and Yui goofed on unsuspecting people of Konoha. It had earned them death threats from Iruka, glares from Kurenai and things tossed at them as they left. They painted the village red. The most fun Yui had since her father had died was given to her by Kakashi and his silly ways.

He opened his apartment door and she followed in behind. He entered the bathroom and showered; Yui threw her self onto his sheets. "Oh my God. As wrong as it was…that was the most fun I've ever had." She sighed deeply and rolled over in the bed. "These sheets are so comfy." As he exited the bathroom he was dressed in dark pajama pants that had little scarecrows on them.

"Oh no. You're not sleeping in my bed all sticky like, go and shower." He told her.

"Fine, whatever." She got up and headed to the bathroom. She slammed the door shut and he smiled as she did so. He looked around for an extra towel and something for her to wear. He found the matching top for his pants and knocked on the bathroom door.

"Here. I can't have you around nude." He said.

"Just toss it in here." She said. Her voice wasn't too loud over the sound of the shower. He did as told and closed the door. He tidied the room a bit and sat on his bed. He undressed his face, removing his forehead protector and mask. After a while Kakashi laid down, burying his face into his pillow. He had to admit, he was somewhat exhausted. He began to drift off to sleep when he heard her voice. "Done." She said as she opened the bathroom door. She had on the pajama shirt and was drying her hair with the towel. Kakashi looked up and saw her. She seemed to be the world's most precious thing at that moment. (A/N; Can you imagine that image? It'd be cute.)

"Oh. Now you're all squeaky clean." He smiled. She stared at him in awe. "What's wrong?" He asked her, worried by her gaze.

"You…you…you're so handsome." She said almost breathless.

"Hm?" It was at that very moment he realized he had no longer been wearing his mask. He sighed and found it pointless to try and hide his face. She had already seen. "There you have it. You've seen me."

Yui smiled and climbed unto the bed. She leant closer and closer to him. "Why?" She asked.

"Why what?"

"Why hide such a beautiful face?" She slowly brought her finger and touched his nose. He didn't move. At that moment Kakashi couldn't even breathe. "You're so magnificent. Your skin, it's so smooth." She ran her finger across his face touched his lips. "So precious." She said. "How…how'd you get this?" She asked him referring to the sharingan and the scar that came with it.

"A gift from a lost friend." He whispered.

"I can image…the pain." She ran her fingers through his hair and sighed. "Sad…It's like I can feel your pain by just looking at it."

"Now you know one of the many reasons I hide most my appearance." He frowned.

"You hide your face because of this? No…that's not enough. It's just not enough. You hide such a magnificent creation because of a scar and a different eye. It's not right at all. You're so selfish." She leant her forehead against his own and she looked into both his yes. "They're so deep." Kakashi smiled slightly as her sweet breaths touched his face. It still smelled of strawberry short cake. Her hair smelt of strawberries. She must have found his favorite shampoo.

"We should go to sleep. I'm tried."

"No. Tell me more."

"I wish to sleep. I have a mission in the morning."

"Tell me what I want to know." She whispered. "Let me know of you." Her jaded eyes stared into his own. As sleepy as he was he did feel like letting her know. She'd finally come to understand his ways. Why he was the way he was. "Tell me."

He lay in her lap as she ran her fingers through his sliver hair. "It feels like I've been able to breathe, after all this time. I can breathe." The two had talked. His alarm clock blinked many times to show 2:45am. The wee hours of the morn caught up with them.

"You, okay?" She asked. "You had a lot on your chest."

"…" Kakashi's eye lids fell heavy. His breathing was slower. He felt like a young child in the arms of his protector. For the first time, he felt truly relived. A relief that carried his body off the earth and allowed him to view the sky with stars galore. He whispered things in his light sleep. Small words like thank you, and precious. "Why do you care…" he trailed off. Still in his heart and his mind words had yet to be said.

"You seem like me…when my father died. You know the same pain. I…" She lowered her head to his face and kissed his forehead. "I know why you are." She said to him. "I know why you are the way you are." She closed her eyes as single tears slid down her cheeks. She whispered to his sleeping form "Sleep well…"

"Not yet…we can't sleep like this." He rose up from her lap and she watched him. He looked to her. Kakashi frowned. "I made you cry." He wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled. "I can't believe I made you cry. I feel so bad now."

"Don't." She held his hands and kissed his fingertips. "I…Kakashi I'm still crying." She said. She released his hands and wiped her tears into the sleeves of the shirt. "I didn't know…it hurts so badly all over again." He laid her down on the pillow and touched her forehead.

"You've given yourself a fever taking on my stress."

"No…it's not your fault." She cried into the pillow. "I'm just weak."

"Yui…" Kakashi rubbed her back and soon her crying had ceased. He looked upon her sleeping finger. The moonlight shone against her skin. Her blonde hair a mess against the pillow. She was a sleeping goddess. Her moved a single strand from over her face and placed it behind her ear. 'How'd this night happen? How'd I open up to her so easily…? How...Why…? …'

He looked to her sleeping figure again and his breath froze when he realized it. 'I love her.' He laid down beside the sleeping beauty and held her hand. He placed it on his cheek and sleep came upon him.

He was tired.

He was sleepy.

He was in love.

For the first time ever.
