A/N

I never thought that I'd make it to chapter 5, but here I am! This chapter has been one of my favorites to write. It's really cute. At least I think so, and hope you do too. Well, here we go! ((Hint Hint: there's a small moment!))

Chapter 5

Ninja Cooking

Kakashi's POV

Many weeks have past and Haruka has started smiling again. She's happier now and it seems that her memories haven't bothered her in awhile. We've continued our training with her and I have to admit, she's a pretty good ninja. I'm proud of the progress she's making. Right now we're sitting at Icharaku's eating.

"Oh Kakashi-kun look!" Haruka said with excitment.

I looked over to where Haruka was pointing, it was a sign. It read "Couples Cooking".

"Umm..Ayame-chan what is this" I asked her.

The young girl looked at me.

"Oh, that is a contest we're holding, a cooking contest between couple."

I looked at her. "Oh, that's different...Um what's the grand prize?"

"Well, the winner wins 50 free Ramen meals, and a kitchen makeover." Was her answer.

"That's a prize Naruto would enjoy" I said and Ayame laughed.

Haruka pointed to the sign up book.

"Look Kakashi-kun these are all the people who entered." She then started to read off the list.

"Naruto and Sakura, Hinata and Kiba,Neji and TenTen, Shikamaru and Temari, Ino and Chouji, Kurenai and Gemma, Gai and Lee" Haruka stopped there and looked at Ayame

"I thought you said couples?" She asked.

She laughed "Since those two are so close and work so hard together we made an acception"

Haruka nodded and continued reading the list. She got to the very end and gasped.

"Haruka-chan what is it?"

She looked at me. "WE'RE ON THIS LIST!!!!!"

"WHAT??" I said standing up.

"HOW?!?!?!?"

Ayame started to laugh. "Oh, that would be the work of Gai-kun."

I started to twitch. "Do..we..have..to?" I whined.

"I'm afraid so" Ayame said still laughing.

"But we're not even a couple" Haruka said trying to get our way out of this.

"Oh, we can make another exception, by the way it starts in an hour"

"WHAT!!!" I shouted.

"How are we suppose to cook in one hour?"

"Oh, don't worry we provide everything for you."

I sighed. "Fine, Haruka let's go kill Gai" I said "Ayame we'll be back soon"

She nodded.

An Hour Later

"Let's get this over with" I said as we made our way back.

"Yes please" I heard Haruka say as we made our way towards Icharaku's

"Okay, the rules are simple" Ayame began. "Each couple is given a kitchen to work in and there is a recipe in there, you are to cook what is asigned to you. You have 3 hours to complete this task. OKAY GO!"

Haruka and I went to a desginated kitchen.

"Here's the recipe." She said as we entered the room, we were the only ones who were there.

I picked it up "Um, it's pizza? This should be easy." I put the piece of paper down and Haruka and I started to get to work.

It came time to add the sauce on the dough to put it in the oven to cook, as I mentioned ealier Haruka's ninja skills have improved, but unfortunately she's still clumsy.

Haruka got the package of sauce, but in the process she spilled some. Not noticing it at first I fell down, and then Haruka fell with me.

"Owww" I cried, but that wasn't the least of my troubles.

I opened my eye to see that Haruka had fallen on top of me, and our faces were close to eachother. There she was laying on my chest. She didn't move, she just layed there for a minute I guess she was as shocked as I was.

I kept looking into her eyes, they were a dark blue, a very pretty dark blue.

I noticed a piece of hair had fallen on her face. I reached up my hand a pushed it back behind her ear. I then took my fingers and trailed them down her cheek. She had such soft skin. I stopped when I got to her chin, there is where I trailed my thumb up to her bottom lip. I rub my finger across her lip, the same time my heart was racing and Haruka was blushing. I could hear her heart beat a mile a minute as well. Did I want to kiss her?

I perked up my head and inched my face closer to Haruka, not moving my thumb from her bottom lip.

It was then that I thought Haruka finally came back to reality, she jump off of my and ran out of the kitchen.

"HARUKA-CHAN WAIT!" I called standing up and running to the door. I saw her she was racing back toward her and Sakura's house.

I sat back down on the floor.

"What are these feelings? Do I like Haruka? I wanted to, I really wanted to kiss her." These thoughts played through my brain as I cleaned up the kitchen.

Since Haruka left the contest, we were DQ'ed. Naruto and Sakura won, thank god.

After the contest I walked towards Sakura's house.

I approached the door and knocked. Haruka answered.

"Hey Haruka-chan"

"I'm sorry, about today, I didn't mean to leave so sudden. Or to fall on you." she said in a whisper.

"Oh, that's okay I just wanted to make sure you were okay."

"Yes, I'm fine Kakashi-kun" she said with her head down.

"Okay, then i'll see you later"

She nodded.

I turned around to leave but before I did I turned around facing Haruka, I picked up her head and placed a small kiss on her cheek. (A/N Through his mask). I then made my way toward home not knowing what her reaction was.
