Her green eyes parted slightly in a sleep state when her body had began to wake up before her mind. She didn't feel the sunlight against her skin or see the light in the air as was the case any other morning, but she welcomed the darkness right now. If it was dark then she didn't have to wake up. She could just go back to sleep. As her mind began to become aware she could feel each of her arms wrapped lightly in sleep, but protectivly over a warm body. The shoulders were very broad and strong. She could feel her cheek pressed up against a warm chest and if she listened she could hear the slow rythum of the heart beating within. The sound made her at peace. She could feel the warm body pressed tighty against hers and she could tell how much longer those legs were in comparensen to hers as they tangled with hers, yet she felt comfortable. She wasn't afraid that she had woken up like this. Pressed into another, like she was. Because she knew that it was him. He was the one that was with her right now. And she felt peacful, comfortable. Free.
Smiling slightly to herself she carefully pushed herself away a bit so that she could look up into the features before her. Seeing the beautful, hansom face that rested in the pillow next to hers she sighed quietly. His eyes closed in sleep, and his messy silver hair falling carelessly over his left eye from when he had fallen asleep. The scar over his eyelid stood bold and out of place on such silky skin, but then again it belonged because she couldn't imagine his face without it. He had always told her that each scar gave him character. Though he did have quite a few scars all over his body, none were as worse as the one given to him when he was gifted with the Sharigen. But she didn't like him hurting, even though she knew that a shinobi such as himself would end up getting hurt some time or another.
She bathed in his scent of pines and spinces, knowing that she too smelt like that mixture of scent she loved so much and welcomed it whole heartedly. The white sheets that rested overtop of them and covered both their bodies rustled a little bit when her arm that rested around his shoulder shifted so that her hand could rest on his cheek softly. He didn't move, his one free arm still rested innocently on her waist but his head slide partly down the pillow , thankfully, he didn't appear to have been woken. Sakura's finger tip traced the outline of his no longer hidden lips, focusing on each single selection, studying each design on his features before moving to another.
"Mmm, that tickles." Sakura's finger tips withdrew at the sound of his deep voice and if echoed through the once completely silent room, startled slightly with his sudden awakening. But strong fingers immediatly wrapped around hers, stopping her movements. Sakura watched as his eyes parted slowly as his eyes lifted, directing his gaze into hers. She melted in his mixmatched eyes that looked upon her with such softness, there was no saddness as she had seen when she first met him. All that remained was happiness. That pericing red eye still chilled her to an extent, but she was thankful to it. That single eye has saved his life more times than she would care to know. "No," He whispered, and pushed her fingertips back into his lips."Don't stop... It feels nice." He whispered, and shut his eyes once more, melting comfortaby into her touch. She couldn't help but smile when a slight smile graced his features.
"How does this feel?" She whispered and shifted closer into his body, she loved how his body didn't shift away or try to move from her closeness. She placed a gentle kiss on his lips, which was currently touching her hand. He groan deeply in his throat as moved his hand into the nape of her neck to deepen the sensation.
"Great."He mummbled into her lips, Sakura smiled agasint his before pulling back to focus her gaze to his eyes as they had already focused on her. She couldn't help thinking how lucky she was and how exactly her life got so instancly perfect just by looking in his eyes.
"Kakashi, why me?" Sakura found herself whispering. Kakashi blinked silently, trying to decode exactly what she had meant by that question but in the end he gave up.
"What do you mean?" He asked. Sakura shut her eyes and snuggled deep into his chest underneath his chin. His arms welcomed her and wrapped softly around her small body. He didn't ask her to explain and he didn't rush her into speaking, instead he just remained quiet awaiting for her to chose to talk.
"There are so many women in this world. I'm not as pretty as those girls in magazines or in your books. My body isn't as perfect and flawless as many girls, I'm definatly not the smartest. And I'm weak. So why... did you chose me?" Sakura whispered softly, almost timidly.Even in the most untimide position she was in, she spoke as if she was. Kakashi's arms tighten around her body.
"Sakura, there are so many mistakes in that speech I don't even know where to begin."He replied. Sakura's eyes parted slightly, focusing on the chest that she currently lay upon."First of all, you are absolutly perfect in my eyes. Your body... your body in beautiful. But even if it wasn't, that doesn't matter to me. You're smarter then you think, and you are the strongest women I know. "
"No I'm not, you're just saying that to quiet me." Sakura whispered, the hand that rested on his chest tightened into a small fist
"I never what you to stop talking to me. I love your voice."He kissed the top of her pink tangled hair, as she smiled. "Besides that, I would have thought after last night that you would have seen that."He whispered. "Oh, I almost forgot."Kakashi pulled away from her and rolled off the bed. Sakura blinked and propped her head up by her elbow to watch his movements. He was bent over, with his back to her as he ramaged through the dresser drawer next to the bed.
"What are you looking for? Come back to bed." Sakura ordered playfully.
"Patience." He chuckled."We can't very well get married without a ring can we?"He finally grabbed what he was looking for and twisted around so that he knelt down beside the bed. Sakura's eyes widened as she pushed herself up in the bed, keeping the white sheets protectivly around her breasts. She saw a little black box in Kakashi's hands and her heart began to beat rapidly.
"Kakashi.."
"Sorry I didn't give it to you last night, but, well-"
"It's okay." Sakura whispered, with a smile.
"I thought I could do this the proper way."Kakashi reached out and took her slender hand in his. "Sakura Haruno.."He began but she was already in tears.".. will you make me the happiest man in this world and become my wife?" He asked. She nodded frantically.
"Yes I will." She cried and he slipped the dimand ring around her finger. She began to laugh as Kakashi crawled across the bed to prop himself above her, to bend down a place a passionate kiss into her lips."And I'll cook for you and do your laundry and clean the house."She smiled, after Kakashi had pulled back.
"You, cooking?"He raised his eyebrows with a smile.
"Yes me cooking!" She playfully slapped his bare chest, only to get a chuckle from him."I'm not that bad... okay maybe I am, but I'll learn!"
"And what about my laundry? You don't mind washing my underwear?" He teased.
"Don't get ahead of yourself here."She replied.
"Yea that's what I thought, honey."He chuckled.
"Kakashi, I don't mind you calling me Honey or even sweetheart but you better think twice before calling me your old lady!" She order."Ecspecially not infront of Genma, that man will never let me live it down." She sighed.
"Yes, dear." He sighed.This fiance thing will definatly take some getting used to, escecially the whole kicknames ordeal, he desised. But the thought didn't scare him, he wouldn't change this new life for the world."So, I've been meaning to ask you.."Kakashi whispered, running a hand through her hair, pulling the stray hairs that fell over her face back.
"What were you meaning to ask me, Mr.Hatake?" She asked.
"Well, Mrs.-soon be be-Hatake," She giggled at the name happily. "I was a wondering what it feels like to no longer be a virgin?" He asked innocently, but Sakura couldn't help but blush.
"Kakashi!" She cried.
"What?"
"That's-"She was interuppted by the sudden ringing of the front door.Kakashi's head lifted from hers to glance over his shoulder, and Sakura did the same, looking past him to the back wall as if she could see right through it to see who it was. Her heart sank into her chest, as she quickly reached up place a hand Kakashi's chest above her."Kakashi, nobody knows I 'm here!" She whispered urgently. His gaze turned back down to her and immediatly saw the fear in her eyes. He gave her a comforting smile.
"Don't worry, it's probably just Genma or Naruto." He replied, he gave her a quick peck on the lips before he rolled off of her and stood up. Sakura, who was still quite afraid that her father had reported her absence last night, brang the sheets up to her chin, knowing that she didn't have any clothes besides that dress she wore to Tsunde's birthday yesterday. She was completly silent as she watched Kakashi open his dresser and pull out a pair of grey boxers. He slipped them on, but chose that would be enough clothing, as he walked out of the bedroom half dressed.
Glancing out of the eye hole, he regratably saw an anbu member. He mentally sighed with a small curse and pulled back from the door slightly. An anbu member showing up at this time in the morning could only mean one of two things. One, he was to be informed of a mission that required his anbu experience, or two, that Tsunde knew that he was currently sharing a bed with a coucil members daughter. He was drifting to the second one.
Hanging his head with a sigh, he grabbed the handle and opened the frontdoor to come face to face with a rather small anbu member who barely came up to his chin. Kakashi put on his best act, his eyes drupped down in a sleepy expression as his incredably terrible posture came out full force.
"Yo, can I help you?"He mummbled.
"Tsunde demands your presences."He replied.
"This early?" The male before his didn't reply to that, just as he thought. Anbu were trained to deliever messages from the Hokage and the select missions that reqired their top level skill. They weren't required to own personallities."Fine, I'll be right there." He replied.
"Hokage demands that you come immediatly."He replied.Kakashi frowned, it sounds like Tsunde-sama might be alittle pissed off at him for some reason.
"Okay, I'll just go like this."Kakashi shrugged, allowing the anbu to look him over. Wearing only a pair of knee high boxers.
"Fine, get dressed. Five minutes."Anbu turned his back on the silver hair jounin and walked down the steps to rest his back against the railing leading up to Kakashi's apartment door.Kakashi nodded and shut the door.
Sakura heard the door close after desperatly trying to understand the murmors of the two people at the front door but failing. Her heart beat rapidly in her chest as she dreaded that the visitor had given bad news. That's it, it had to be. Her father had been angry due to the fact that she didn't go home last night, and he had pressured Tsunde into taking action. She knew it, father would never allow her to be happy. Last night was too good to be true.
Upon Kakashi walking into the room through the far door, Sakura sprung over to the corner of the bed.
"Who was it?" She whispered. Kakashi walked over to the closet and pulled out his jounin uniform. She watched his dress, each second passing her heart hurt more."Kakashi-"
"It's Anbu, Tsunde requests to see me a.s.a.p."He answered as he slipped the headband over his eye. Sakura hung her head as she fell back to the bed in a sitting position.
"I knew it."She whispered."Father knows that I'm here, he's going to take me away. He would let me see you again."She sobbed."I hate him so much."She gripped the sheets that feel from her body in a tight fist. Kakashi glanced over at her.
"Hey,"he whispered and walked over to her. And when she failed to look up at him, he lifted her chin to focus her eye on his."Don't worry, I'll handle this, okay?" Sakura nodded slowly."Just stay here untill I return."He replied as gently kissed her forhead before leaving.
Kakashi's gaze shifted to the floor, as his nerves began to create the most annoying felling in his stomache. Almost as if a hundred butterflies were somehow fluttering around inside of him. He knew that the whole reason he was currently standing before the large doors leaning to into Tsunde office, was that Sakura's father had indeed suspected something was going on after she didn't return home last night. And as a member of the council his power matched that of even the Hokage herself at times. Kakashi already knew what to expect because Tokiya's grip over his daughter was almost scary. Kakashi had always knew that Sakura desired to gain her fathers approval and love, but it didn't matter how hard she trained to the point of collapseing, or how much honours she got from others around the town. He would never give her what she was longing for. But Kakashi could understand why she refused to give up.
"Kakashi, come in."His head lifted at the reply from behind the doors. He inhaled a mental breathe and reached for the doorknob. Pushing it open, the warm light immediatly hit his chest from the far window. He spotted Tsunde sitting in the large chair behind the desk, her feet resting comfortably on the top of the desk surface. She never took her eyes from his, which would have made him slightly uncomfortable if he hadn't long since become quite used to it. Her eyes looked sturn on the outter shell, but he could see the compassion covered behind her strong imatating appearence.
"Please shut the door." She replied, he did as she ordered, afterwards choosing to remain by the exit where he stood."Come forward, Luteniate."He was slightly confused as to why she had choosen to refer to him by that rank which his teammates would call him duringa mission. Hardly the rank name was of no concern of the Hokage? but when he caught movement in the corner of his eye, his question was answered. He sighed heavily as his hands once more dug deeply into the pockets of his uniforn pants.
"I should have known." He whispered."Good morning Mr.Haruno."
"You scumbag, worthless piece of shit-"Before the old mans fist could make contact with it's target,which at that moment was Kakashi, the silver haired man disappeared. Then reappeared infront of Tsundes desk with an effortless action.
"Tokiya that's enough!" Tsunde ordered, watching as the wrickled hand dropped to the waist of the man who had missed.Turning back to the silver haired man before her she slouched deep into her chair."Kakashi, what were you thinking?"She sighed.
"I'm not sure what you mean."Kakashi replied, after a moment of uncomfortable silence.
"You know damn well asshole! Sakura didn't come home last night, that means that she was with you!" Tokiya shouted, and turned to glare deep into the back of Kakashi's uniform. Kakashi could immediatly feel the mans brown eyes burning holes into his back with a totally unrequired amount of hatrid. For someone who treats his own daughter like a slave, he is sure overprotective of where she is and who she's with, Kakashi thought.
"Let me handle this Tokiya or you'll be escorded out of this office."Tsunde's gaze shifted towards the old man who stood quite a ways behind Kakashi, her eyes challenging him to keep his comments to himself.He did, with reluctants."Good,now let's get back to the matter at hand."Tsunde's hand ran through her bangs."Kakashi..."
"Yes, Hokage-sama."He replied.
"I know as a fact that Sakura is in your keeping, as soon as i found out about her early absences from the party last night, I was convinced that she had left with you. Now you know that all I want is my pupil to be happy, and that the obvious age difference between you does no longer concern me.."
"Yes I do, Tsunde-sama."Kakashi nodded, inturppeting Tokiya from freaking out in surprise of Tsunde's change of heart.
"And, I also know that you desire to make her happy.."Tokiya snorted with disgust, causing her gaze to once more leave Kakashi.
"Happiness has nothing to do with it! He wants to have his way with her and then dump her off back home when he's done! I will not stand for it! She is only 19, she is a child!" He cried.Kakashi sighed heavily.
"Why can't you see? Is it that you're blind or is it that you have the desire to be?"He finally turned to face the old man, silently glaring at the old man from the corner of his balck orb. Tokiya's face went red in anger.
"Don't analyse me, you shit!"He hissed, briskly walking forward untill he now stood before the tall man. Kakashi didn't budge from where he stood, instead choosing to stare down at the short old man that had challenged him.
"She is not a child anymore Tokiya! She's a grown women, a Jounin! She can make her own desisions-"
"Clearly she cannot if she has desised that you are the one."Tokiya whispered."She's weak, she has let her pathetic heart cloud her judgement."
"I love her heart, it is refreshing to see that the next generation of shinobi are not as heartless as pervious ones."Kakashi retorted, the white teeth became visable when Tokiya practially snarled up at the tall man before him.
"Kakashi," Tsunde spoke up. Kakashi shut his eyes as he casually turned his back on Tokiya."I want her to be happy, but-"
"We're getting married."He spoke up.Tsunde's and Tokiya's gaze turned sharpy at the silver haired jounin.
"What?"Both asked in surprise.
"I've asked her to marry me. She accepted."He replied, with a smile hidden behind his mask.Tsunde shruggled with all her might not to smile as well, knowing that it wouldn't be such a great idea right now. But that didn't stop her heart from filling with silent joy at the great news. Instead she gathered her nerves to confront Tokiya with the truth. That her age allows her to no longer be under his watch, even if she didn't support this relationship there was nothing she could do to stop her.
"Tokiya, she's 19. Which means that she is an adult. I am unable to forcefully remove her from Kakashi's home because it's private propert, as well as she has now at the age which your guardship has no more control over her decisions."
"What are you saying!" Tokiya shouted.
"Sakura does not want to return with you, so she has legal right to deside not to. I'm sorry but you must learn to let her go.This meeting is over."
Sakura's hand came up from where is once hung at her side to rest over the hand support of the grey couch that was stationed centre of the living room/dining room. The material was slightly rough on her soft hand but if was warm as well. The piece of furniture was definatly worn down, and she knew that Kakashi has had if for a long time. He wasn't the type to shop, but she knew that there must be some stories behind this couch. Kakashi was like that. The apartment didn't have many things but what he did have held memories in the them.
The hard wood floors were cold against her bare feet and once and a while a sliver would make it's appearence in her foot when she walked down the hallway. But it was smooth most of the time. Her house had hardwood flooring as well, but Father liked to keep it as clean as posssible so if was missing all of the broken parts that Kakashi's had.
Father. She was beginning to like the fact that he hadn't entered her mind for a while. Ever since she had gotten out of the shower and had began her exploration of the relativly small home of her finace. Even though she had been there a few times before, she thought that she'd occupy her time by seeing if anything had changed. Nothing had. She took comfort in knowing that this safe house had remained as she was familour to. It was true that she felt strangly very safe within these walls, even though she knew that Kakashi didn't lock to door. She wanted to feel this way forever. Safe. Like nothing could ever hurt her again, no one could make her feel useless or unworthy.
She found herself walking around to the from of the couch and sitting down in the comfortable couions. Bringing her knees up to her chest she began to think. But all she could think about was her own weakness. She was weak in that she had repeatedly allowed fathers actions hurt her without even so much as an objection. Why did she love him so much when if was apparent that he held no such feelings for her? She only wanted him to love her, to accept her. She wanted to make him happy. So that his heart would no longer be cold, that he come welcome light into those dark places. She felt like pleading with him, telling him that"I can be so much better. I will be a better daugther. I will make you happy and then you'll love me!"... But somehow, she felt that he wouldn't listen to her words. No. He wanted her to show him. Sakura knew that she could do it. Become a proud ninja, a strong women who was deserving of his pride. She just had to work harder.
"But how much harder must I work?"She whispered to herself. How much further could she evolove from a Jounin? Where could she go when that is the highest level besides Hokage? Did he want her to become Hokage?
But Kakashi's meeting with Tsunde worries her. Father would do anything to keep her seperated from him. But she didn't want to be without him. Kakashi was everything to her, he can't make her give up the one thing that truly makes her happy. But what if Tsunde changes her mind and re-enforces the restraining order? What will she do then?
"Kakashi, please.."She whispered.
Sakura's thoughts came to an instant halt when she sensed a presence nearing the front door which stood in front of her only a short distant away. Reacting on instinct, her hand swiftly dug into the couch knowing that a hidden kunai would be conveniently placed in case of emergencies. Her hand indeed grabbed the weapon that she had no doubt Kakashi would hide there. She pulled it out of it's cover but kept it at her side, hiding it from view.
Shifting her gaze to the wooden door she stared intently at it, waiting for whoever it was to decide to open it or not. She couldn't help thinking that it was her father. Maybe he had come for her? Or was it just one of Kakashi's friends? Genma or even Gai. Or maybe it was just Kakashi himself, coming home after the meeting with Tsunde-sama? Either way, she could feel her heart beat rapidly within her chest.
Sakura's senses became completely alert when she heard the hand twist the door knob and calmly push it open to enter. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw who it was.
Kakashi's gaze casual turned over to where the sound had come from. Seeing what had made the noise, made him smile slightly underneath the black mask around him lower face. There he saw Sakura, beautifully dressed in one of his black t-shirts which hung over her small body as if she was drowning in the material. Her bare silky legs were pulled up to her chest as the shirt failed to cover her legs. Her hair was tied back with a white bandage strip which she could have easily found anywhere in the apartment. Then he noticed the kunai she held loosely in her right hand.
His visible eye curved up in a smile as he held up the bottle of wine and grocery bag he had been carrying. "Sorry, I'm later then I thought I would be, but I thought that we could have a nice diner tonight." Sakura blinked. "I know that you love spaghetti so I bought noodles an meatballs from the shop across town."
Sakura watched silently as Kakashi made his way over to the small kitchen, and with the absence of any such wall to separate the living/diner from the kitchen, she come watch his actions clearly. He set the bag and the wine down on the counter, before reaching deep into the bag and beginning to extract the items. Reaching beside his he quickly flicked on the light which lit up the once dark room where she had been sitting in.
"I have to worn you, I'm not the best cook around but I think I can handle Spaghetti and meatballs." He joked. Sakura remained quiet as she carefully set the kunai back into the couch where she had found it. She was waiting. Waiting for him to tell her what had happened with Tsunde. But she got impatient with the wait.
"What happened?" She whispered, her hands running up and down her legs in a nervous action. She heard Kakashi's rummaging come to a stop.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you." He rubbed the back of his head apologetically." Tsunde declared that you are free to make your own choices. So that means your stuck with me." He gave a small laugh.
Sakura's head shot up and turned bright red with anger." Kakashi!" She screamed as a vain popped to her forehead. Reaching into the couch again she grabbed the kunai." Don't you think that's important information!" She cried and threw the weapon at Kakashi's head. The jounin immediately ducked as the extremely sharp kunai plunged deep into the cupboard where his head was before. Kakashi glanced up from his spot crutching on the floor to see the deadly aim of the weapon. He sweat dropped.
"Ah, sorry?" He squeaked. Sakura face immediately changed from that of the devil to a smile bright enough to light up hell. She laughed in a fit of joy as she leapt from the couch where she sat, jumping over the headboard she ran towards the silver haired. Before he had the chance to get up, she had leapt into his arms with excitement, knocking both parties over in the process. Gasping in slight surprise Kakashi landed hard on his back on the cold hardwood floor, with Sakura straddling his chest. He felt her arms around his neck, pushing his face deep in between her breast. His face instantly turned beat red with a heavy blush before wrapping his own around her back and one hand running up into her pink locks, that fell over his head.
"Tsunde-sama." He heard her whisper almost to herself but loud enough for him to hear.
"Your father was there." He replied, feeling how much her body tensed up almost instantly at the mention of her father. Sakura pulled back slightly, giving Kakashi some well needed air.
"He was?" She whispered, he face filled with worry, Kakashi wondered if she even knew that her face held the expression. Kakashi's hand fell from her hand to carefully brush the stray hair that fell over her eye.
"Yeah. He gave quite an argument .But Tsunde told me that she wants you to be happy. Also that nineteen is an adult and you can make your own decisions." Sakura smiled sweetly, closing her eyes for a second.
"I love her so much." Sakura's hand came to rest upon Kakashi's strong hand that cam to rest on her cheek affectionately.
"I know you do." He whispered.
"But I love you more, so don't get jealous." She giggled.
"Yes, dear." His eye curved up in a smile. Sakura bent down and placed a gently kiss on his lips over the mask that covered them.
"Now get started on that diner, I'm starving!" She replied, pushing herself off his chest and standing up to toward over him.
"Nice view." He smirked. Sakura blinked slightly confused, before glancing down to see that she only wore a simple t-shirt that only fell just below her…upper thighs. No underwear or anything. She blushed, and pulled the material down further.
"You perv!" She cried.
"Oh come on, you know I love you in my shirts." He replied seductively, stretching his foot up to play with the hem of his shirt which was draped over her body. She playfully swatted his foot away with an uncontrollable smile.
"Behave yourself mister!" She laughed. "This is going to be a nice evening, but we'll see about later." She turned away from him and continued his action of removing the items.
Kakashi sighed.
"Yes, dear."
Sakura checked herself out once more in the mirror, just to make sure that everything was in place, and that she was looking the best she could without any real nice clothing. Kakashi did have a nice black sweeter/t-shirt with a built in white tie, so she decided to wear that. Besides it looked sort of punk-ish, and she liked it a lot. She wondered why Kakashi never wore it, she pictured him in it and the image made her practically drool.
Following up the shirt she wore a pair of normal pair of jounin uniform pants borrowed from the many pairs hung in Kakashi's bedroom closet. Her short hair was still tied back in an extremely messy ponytail with a bandage Kakashi's always used with on his shins and ankles. Whenever she couldn't find a hair tie for training she would always just borrow a strip of bandage from Lee, so she was quite used to it.
Satisfied with her appearance, she smiled and walked out of the small bathroom, shutting off the light switch as she went.
Instantly the beautiful smell of the spaghetti sauce filled her nose and made her stomach rumble. Reminding her that she hadn't eaten anything since yesterday at lunch and it wasn't that big anyway. A small salad that Ino had bought her when they were shopping for dresses, due to the fact that Ino herself was currently on a diet. Guess her friend thought Sakura was on one as well.
Making her way down the hallway, the delicious smell grew stronger, as if she could literally taste the food in her mouth already. Turning into the open space of the dining room/living room/kitchen combination from the short hallway, she noticed that the lights had turned off when she had left to get ready. And now the room was coded into a mysterious darkness, but not too dark as she could still see the outlines of the furniture because of the street lights that shone into the room through the windows. Glancing to her right she saw three bright candles lit and set decoratively on the surface of a small table to the right. A smile played on her lips when she saw two chairs, facing each other, and each set with a plate of spaghetti and meatballs and an empty glass.
"Kakashi…. I'm speechless." She whispered. Shivering with slight excitement as two strong yet gently hands touched her bare arms, and began a soothing rubbing of her skin.
"Let's sit then." She felt his warm breath graze across the back of her neck when he spoke. She merely nodded, and he directed her willingly to the table. Pulling out her chair for her, she thanked him as he pushed her light body to the table, before taking his own seat across from her. She noticed that the mask was missing, but the headband remained to cover the Sharigen. He wore a nice grey short sleeved dress shirt that did wonders for his well toned body.
Sakura gazed down at the food in front of her.
"Can't cook, my ass." She mumbled, but Kakashi heard as he gave a smile.
"Wine?" He asked holding up the bottle. She nodded with a smile, and he reached for her glass. Pouring the liquid until her glass was full, he then turned to his own. Sakura lifted the glass to her lips to smell the wine, it smelt good.
"A toast." He declared, rising his glass up.
"To my soon to be husband, the best cook in all of Konoha." Sakura suggested, Kakashi shock his head.
"To us." He corrected.
"Deal." Sakura raised her glass and gently clinked with his, the wine into slightly swirling around at the motion. Each took a sip of their drink, letting the flavor fill their mouths before swallowing. "That's really good. I didn't think you even liked wine." Sakura smiled, setting the glasses back onto the table.
"I don't usually, but this is quite tasty." His eye curved up into a smile as he copied her motion and set his glass down as well.
"Where did you get it?" Sakura inquired.
"Um, let me think." Kakashi mentally retraced his steps of the day. "I think it was this little place on the south side of the Konoha, what was the name…."
"It doesn't matter, all that matters is that you actually went out and bought wine." Sakura giggled. "If Genma or Gai finds out.."
"Well they aren't because this will be our little secret, right?" Sakura giggled with a smile.
"Okay, I promise." Kakashi grinned at the beautiful women across from him. Even in the dim light he could truly see the beauty that came from her.
"Let's eat before it gets cold, Okay?"
"Okay. Mmmm this looks great." She picked up the fork beside the plate and stuck it into the noodles, twirling it, she lifted a fork full and placed it into her mouth. 'Oh, wow.' She thought, 'This tastes so good.' Sakura smiled.
"So, when are we going to start thinking about the wedding?" Kakashi inquired after he had swallowed his forkful. Sakura's eyes opened to glance at his questionably. She swallowed the mouthful.
"What do you mean? Don't you think it's a little early to start planning?" Sakura replied.
"Well, I think it would be nice to marry as soon as possible. Maybe have a summer wedding before fall comes. But if you wish to have it some other season.."
"No it's noting like that, I'm happy with a summer wedding, but we've only just become engaged. Don't you think we're rushing things a little?"
"I love you, Sakura. And I want to be married to you as soon as possible." Kakashi replied.
"I love you too, and I want to be your wife more then anything. So maybe we should set a date?" Sakura smiled.
"Okay, hows the 18th of September sound to you?"
"The 18th, is there anything special about that day?"
"Well I figure, jounin exams will be done, as will chuunin training. So that opens up a lot of our friends schedules." Kakashi had defiantly given this some thought. How sweet.
"Brilliant, then it's settled." She smiled, and began to eat some more.
Sakura cuddled deep into Kakashi's chest, allowing his arms to encircle her body. She listened to his soft breathing, but heard nothing else. THey both stayed in a comfortable silence as they sat on the couch over looking the window to the empty streets outside.
"So, Kakashi i was thinking."She shifted so her head lifted from his chest to gaze up into his eyes. His gaze shifted down to her when she spoke.
"Hmm?"He replied.Sakura's finger lifted from his chest to gently trace his lips in a seductive matter. He smirked in reponse.
"Maybe, perhaps we could... make last night a regular thing."She blinked sexily up at the man whose eyebrows had raise considerably. His mouth parted slightly in awe. Sakura shifted again to lean her lips close to his ears."I think I'm addicted."She whispered. Kakashi swollowed the lump in his throat.
"You don't know how happy that makes me to hear you say that " Sakura giggled.
"Oh, I think I do."
HOLY SHIT THAT WAS A LONG CHAPTER! .Anyway, I hope it's worth all the time spent on it.
