I know I said that I was going to have Kakashi's birthday in this chapter but I decided to wait until it was actually his birthday to do that. So, I changed the story around and Sai's entrance will be made in this chapter/
Disclaimer- I do not own Naruto, only my OC Akira.
Chapter 2
The Blonde From Oblivion
3 days went by quickly Akira spent his time annoying his father and Kakashi spent his time ignoring Akira. The fourth day came and Akira was back at work.
Akira stood in the manga section staking the new books that just came in.
"….4...5...6...7...Done."
He finished stacking, turned around. In front of him he saw Sai.
"Sai, hi. I thought you didn't work today?" Akira asked Sai somewhat shocked to see him.
Sai tilted his head a little and looked at Akira.
"Boss called me in, said you were the only one working and could probably use some help." He answered coolly.
"Oh I see" was Akira's response and he walked back to the register somewhat nervous to see Sai. He was an unexpected surprise, especially because he thought he had feelings for him.
Sai walked over to Akira, again his head tilted.
"You okay Akira?" Sai asked. He seemed confused by the was Akira responded.
Akira didn't look up from the register.
"Fine, just a little surprised to see you I guess."
Sai then lifted his head to a normal position nodding as id showing that he understood.
Just then someone entered the book store, it was Ino.
The blonde made her way over to the front counter.
"Hey Akira" She said with a smile.
The brunette then looked up and smiled weakly.
"Hey Ino, whatcha lookin' for?"
Ino giggled. She was in a flirty mood.
"I need a book on astrology for a paper I'm writing."
Sai then spoke up, "I can show you where to find it." He offered.
Ino then looked at Sai and frowned, "I'd rather have Akira show me."
Sai looked disappointed and made his way to the back room.
Ino then returned her focus on Akira, smiled and batted her eyes.
"Come with me." Akira said closing the register.
Ino giggled and followed Akira through the store. He reached the section that held books on astrology.
"Here, take your pick." He then started to walk back over to the front, until.
"Akira wait!"
He sighed and then faced Ino. "Yes Ino?" He asked.
"Don't leave"
Akira rolled his eyes and walked back to the front.
Sai then came from the back room, Akira took a seat on a stool.
"She gone?" Sai asked leaning against the counter, Akira could only see his backside.
"No, she's picking out her book" He answered opening a magazine.
"Hn"
Akira flipped through the pages waiting for Ino to back with her book.
….and flipped……and flipped…..and flipped.
After waiting 10 long minutes he got annoyed and stood up about to walk over to the astrology section to find Ino.
Just before hw started to go to the back, he felt someone touch his arm.
Akira turned his head and saw Sai's hand on his arm, his eyes widened.
"Um Sai?" Akira said his cheeks turning a soft pink.
"Just wait for her to come to you." Sai answered not removing his hand.
"O-okay" Akira then returned to his seat, his face still slightly pink.
Sai turned around to face Akira,
"I don't like her" Sai said bluntly.
"Neither do I, she's too…"
"Annoying?" Sai finished.
Akira laughed, "Yeah annoying." That's when Ino came over to the register to pay for her book, Sai stood there ready to help her.
Ino scoffed.
"Must you-" She was cut off.
"Ino, just shut up. Sai's gonna help you." Akira said obviously annoyed with the blonde.
Ino stood wide eyed and Sai smirked.
"Ugh! Fine!" She paid for her book, grabbed the receipt and left the store.
"Come Again!" both boys said to her as she left.
"I think she has a thing for you" Sai said turning around, again facing Akira.
Akira rolled his eyes. "God, please no. I don't like her."
"Do you like anyone?"
Akira stared at Sai, his cheeks turning a deep red.
"Ummm, no, not really"
"Uh-huh"
"Really"
Sai leaned close to Akira's face.
"You sure about that?"
Akira's face became redder.
"Uh…"
Sai smiled at Akira.
"Thought so" he then took his face away from Akira's.
"Thought what?"
"You do like someone, I'll find out who"
Relief came over Akira's face, Sai doesn't know, unless he was…..faking.
The rest of his shift he tried to keep his distance from Sai.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Akira walked through the door immediately collapsing on the couch.
Kakashi walked into the room, he sat in a chair next to Akira.
"Rough day at work?"
Akira sat up.
"I think I kinda gave away….that I like Sai."
"How?"
"I um well, didn't answer his question when he asked if I like anyone, instead I blushed."
How did he respond?"
"He smiled"
Kakashi hesitated, "Well then maybe that's a good sign."
"Yeah, maybe"
To Be Continued….

Gah, no reviews yet. I can understand first chapter was Blah. Please R&R it keeps me motivated!!!!
Oh, here's a physical description of Akira.
Age- 20
Hair Color- Dark Black.
Eye color- Ice Blue.
Build- Slender
It's a little weird he looks like a cross between Sasuke and Kakashi. In my head he's extremely hot. But that's the magic of an OC, they can look any way you want. Hope you enjoyed.
