---Book of Paradise---
(Part 5, Selection 2)
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or Naruto.
Here's selection 2 to part 5! My ideas weren't plentiful on this one, so it might not turn out as good. Mind the spelling and grammar mistakes. Microsoft Word apparently thinks that '…because it mist startle Kagome…' is common sense typical thing…Crazy… Argh! And I was certain I had checked this damn thing over!
Since the two selections were supposed to be together, this one will also be short! Gomen nasai! Aww…crap! My deadlines are all seriously dead now…
'Gently, with expert ninja hand, he picked her up bridal style and walked towards the hotel that she stayed at, deciding against a teleportation jutsu because it might startle Kagome'Iruka's POV…
Kakashi perked up as he was carrying Kagome in his arms. With the slightest bit of hesitation, he laid Kagome on a nearby bench and shot into the bookstore for a few minutes, wanting to check to see if there were any new Icha Icha Paradise books out.
Apparently, Iruka had happened to be passing by while the copy Jounin was in the bookstore.
'Kagome!' Iruka thought, alarmed, 'what is she doing out here, sleeping in the cold? Wasn't she staying at the inn?'
He shot her a look of pure concern and took off his glove, placing his warm hand on her icy cold cheek.
Iruka sighed, "I might as well take her home…"
Kakashi's POV…
The copy ninja shuffled through the piles of books, only to find that volume 4 hadn't come out yet. It was supposed to be the last one…
He sighed in defeat, thanking the owner of the store and stepping out, but not before hearing, "…take her home…"
Kakashi instantly perked up. Take her home? What the hell? There aren't supposed to be rapists in Konoha! With alarming speed, he ran up to her and shoved the unknown man away to the ground, picking up Kagome bridal-style once again and rushing off in a safer direction.
Iruka sat on the ground, confused. He brushed a patch of dirt away from his face and stood up shakily. Who the hell was that?
Kakashi sighed in relief. Now that that was done with… He was walking so briskly now, he did not notice Kagome starting to gently slip off the side of his arms.
Kagome mumbled something incoherent, burying her face into his shirt. He gently smiled, but nobody really knew…
He was walking down the busy streets of Konoha when Kagome's arm just happened to brush against a guy.
Kakashi unconsciously growled, 'Another person trying to grab her!' He also jerked away quickly without knowing.
The startled boy just stared incredously at Kakashi, 'How troublesome…' Shikamaru thought.
Sharingan no Kakashi was being over-protective.
This.
Was.
The day.
After avoiding lots of publicity, Kakashi weaved through the trees and finally arrived at the hotel Kagome was staying at.
"Ah! Kagome…" The innkeeper leaved through his pages, "This is her last night here that she's paid for…just thought you'd like to know"
Kakashi nodded in response and fished her keys out of her pocket, trying hard not to wake her up, 'She looks kind of…nice…' Kakashi thought blandly. He had never really been the one to experience this before.
Sighing exasperatedly at himself, he struggled to open the door and pushed it shut behind him.
Lying Kagome onto her bed inside, Kakashi took one last look at him and turned around to go, when he felt some tugging on his vest. She had gripped it.
He sighed again. No use waking her up for this. Kakashi unzipped his vest and slid it off, letting it hang in her arms. He then locked the door and left through the window.
Missing the warmth, Kagome groaned, turned around and snuggled into the next, closest source of heat – his vest.
'Finally...' Kakashi closed his eyes in relief outside of the window, 'She's safe from all those rapists in Konoha that I never knew about'
The end for this selection! The next one will be more on Miroku… Anyways, I really, REALLY should update my other stories now…Bye for now! Read and review onegai, please!
Sayonara,
Tenshi-Battosai
