Chapter 22 – Pakkun's Chapter.
Sakura came over all the time. I liked that she did. Sakura took me out for walks with the others. She scratched my belly and knew the perfect spot behind the ears to scratch. She kept the house clean and made us food as well as for Kakashi.
"Can you hand me that bowl?" She asked Kakashi why she washed the other dishes. I wished she would let me lick them clean.
"How was your first day of suspension?" Kakashi asked her while dried the dishes she washed.
"Well, after being lectured by Mikoto in place of my mother, I practically spent the day here taking care of the dogs. So it was ok. Did you have fun at school?"
He laughed then verified that he did.
"But I wish I had had more time to read my books," He sighed.
"Gross, sensei," Sakura handed him another plate to dry.
"It's not gross, Sakura. It's perfectly normal," He defended himself.
"So I can read some of them when I'm over here tomorrow?"
"It's normal for men…" He corrected himself.
"Ah, the old double standard," She laughed.
"You're also underage," He added.
"Ok, I'll leave your porn stash alone," She giggled.
"It's not porn. It's erotica."
She laughed and rolled her eyes.
"Alright, sensei."
They finished the dishes and got the leashes. They were going to take us on a walk. Sakura had me, Guruko, Uhei, Akino and Bisuke. Kakashi took Bull, Urushi and Shiba. Out in the nice evening air we went. It was great. We could smell the food from other places in the air and we were out of the apartment again. As we walked many women blushed for they saw Kakashi.
"Kakashi-sensei, why don't you have a girlfriend?" Sakura asked. But I had thought Sakura was his girlfriend.
"I don't have time."
"You don't have time?"
"Between school, the dogs, grading papers, and reading I don't have time to date," He explained to her.
"Couldn't you make time? I mean I take care of your dogs and you could cut down on your p-erotica," She whispered the last part.
"I don't feel the need for a girlfriend. Love is fine to have in life but I don't really need right now."
"Everybody needs love, Sensei."
He just offered her a smile and kept walking us. When we got back home, Sakura gave us all treats and scratched us a little more.
"I'll be back tomorrow," She went kissing all us dogs then smiled at Kakashi, "I'll see you tomorrow, Sensei."
"Bye, Sakura," He walked her out. Once she was gone, Kakashi got out of his clothes and got on the couch. We all flopped by or on him while he pulled out his book and began to read to us about "making out" whatever that was. Eventually, Kakashi fell asleep and we curled on him to keep him warm in the night. Maybe one day he would fine someone else to keep him warm.
