This one is for a guest who visited and commented on one of my KakaSaku chapters:
"...How about a story about those secret dates they [Kakashi and Sakura] had while on a mission."
And dear little guest, even though I don't know who you are I did as you asked because I love all my darling little readers and I liked the idea, and Kathy seemed to as well.
Sakura stared out the window of the little run-down motel she was currently staying in for her mission, watching as the faceless people wandered around the nameless street as they went about their normal, everyday day. She was slightly envious of them and the way they were able to so easily do as they wished while she was stuck in a dinky little rook with a man who was busy ignoring her and wouldn't let her leave. Turning her head she glared at said man, narrowing her eyes at his lazily reclining form.
"I'm hungry." She said, but if she expected a response it certainly wasn't forthcoming. Beginning to pout Sakura turned all the way around, crossing her arms over her chest and leaning back against the window frame.
"Kakashi, did you hear me? I said that I was hungry." Kakashi grunted this time, but he still refused to look up from the pages of his favored Icha Icha.
"I heard you, but I just don't see what you want me to do about it."
"Take me somewhere to eat, obviously." She snapped at him, her patience thin from being locked in the teeny tiny room with no amusement other than talking to her unresponsive lover who was not her lover on missions since he said that relationships got in the way of missions. And she agreed with this completely, but boredom was just as troublesome as feelings.
"No." He answered while continuing to keep his eyes glued onto the pages of his book, not looking up when Sakura stomped her foot or when she strode angrily over to the side of the bed he was laying on.
"Kakashi, I'm bored and when I get bored I get dangerous, so you better take me out somewhere to eat."
"No."
"Kakashi..." She hissed, clenching her hands into fists before she suddenly relaxed, an idea coming to her.
"Kakashi, you know page 73 of Icha Icha Tactics, right?" Kakashi's eyes finally flicked up to her as his eyebrows rose in interest, his book lowering just the slightest bit.
"I'm familiar with it."
Sakura nodded before silently pointing to Kakashi and then at herself and then at the bed.
A muscle began to twitch beside Kakashi's eye as he obviously fought with himself over what to do. On one hand he didn't believe in mixing sex and missions unless sex was the mission, but on the other Sakura was standing in front of him offering him one of his top fifteen favorite Icha Icha scenes.
Really, there was no reason to even think it over.
His book was closed with a definitive snap and he was off of the bed in a flash, but Sakura's hand meeting his chest to hold him off made him pause.
"Only after you take me out to diner." She told him, watching as his shoulders slumped forward with a sigh.
Smiling brightly now Sakura cheerfully opened the door, practically bouncing as she made her way out of the terrible little motel and to the street, linking arms with Kakashi so that they walked side by side.
"Oh, and you're buying." She informed him, earning an aggravated glare from the cheap man.
"And why would I be doing that?" He grumbled as the young girl persistently pulled him along, and when she looked up she sent a veiled look at him through her eyelashes.
"Because I promised you page 73, but that promise only applies if I get something to eat and I just so happened to leave my money back at the motel." This earned her another glare but she was really too happy to care and she knew that Kakashi would be more than happy after they ate and then got back to the room.
Especially after they had gotten back to the room.
She normally wouldn't have been this happy to get out of the room and get something to eat, no matter how bored or hungry she was, but she kind of looked at this as a kind of date -though she'd never tell Kakashi that. She understood that their relationship was more or less about sex and friendship instead of feelings, but still, she could want a date every now and then if she wanted to. She wasn't some cheap floozy.
She supposed that since she was bribing Kakashi into paying and that this would be one of the few times that he ever would she should probably abuse it by going somewhere outrageously expensive, and she was going to do just that until a particular scent caught her nose. Turning her head she saw a happy little sign that immediately made her stomach rumble.
She started to tug Kakashi towards the little stand and as soon as the man saw where she was taking him he rolled his eyes at her. "Dango, Sakura? This is what you dragged me out here for?" Sakura ignored him and his condescending tone and instead sat down on one of the stools, patting the one next to her for Kakashi to sit down.
"I'll have an order of anko with syrup, please. And what do you want to have, Kakashi?" She asked him, both her and the cook turning to stare at him as he sat there stoically.
"Well, I'd like to be back in the room having-" He was cut off by a sudden and vicious kick from Sakura under the counter as she smiled dangerously sweetly at him.
"Oh? What was that now?" Kakashi, seeing how desperately close he was to loosing any chance he had at experiencing page 73 with her, cleared his throat and crinkled his visible eye at the girl beside him.
"I was saying that I'd have some teppanyaki." He said and Sakura nodded.
"That's what I thought you were saying." She murmured sweetly.
I had a lot of trouble trying to decide what they would eat, so I did as I always do when I'm trying to figure something out relating to Naruto: I went to Wiki.
Apparently one of Sakura's favorite dishes is the anko with syrup, so then I had to google and figure out what Kakashi would order, which is difficult because it isn't specific over what Kakashi likes, only that he dislikes sweet and fried foods.
(anko- has red bean paste, teppanyaki- Dango on a stick with a tangy taste (do you know how hard it was deciding this? Apparently most dango likes to be sweet. Stupid dango.))
xaburame15- Gasp! My sweet baby! Are you alright you poor, poor thing? Allow the power of my love to aide you in getting better!
Hektols- Thank you for the hope, and yeah, I can see them pulling another stunt like they did after the invasion of Pain.
Good bye, my darlings! You shall forever be in my hearts as I persist on writing the next chapters!
