CHAPTER THREE. ARE YOU WINKING AT ME?

First off, I want to thank whoever submitted reviews! Gah, all of you have such long names. .

YamiKitsuneKami – I can't wait to see where this goes either. Teehee, I mean… Okay, I really don't have much of an idea for this. It's totally spontaneous.

Kugatsu Kuro Kyohaku Bara – Can you not hear his evil cackle? I can. Although, I'm pretty crazy. Thanks for the compliment!

The Rebel Goddess – As soon as I got reviews I was like 'OMIFREAKGAWD! I MUST WRITE SOMEMORE!' and I did. I'm glad you liked it.

Second of all, I'm sorry that this didn't come super fast like last chapter. I've decided to try and make this chapter long because I might not get on at all this coming week because I've got a band festival. So, in between getting the uniform and practicing like a madman, I won't have a lot of time to write. I will write some stuff on the two hour-long bus ride, though! Because I get bored if I don't write. So, I'll stop babbling and get to the chapter!

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Naruto. If I did, I wouldn't write fanfic about it.

"Are you going to eat or not?" I asked, staring at Kakashi as I ate my ramen.

"No. I'll just eat later." He nodded.

"I thought you said we didn't have any food…?"

"I said we didn't have much. Besides, I'm not hungry."

"God. Make me feel guilty. It's because of the mask, isn't it?" I stopped eating and looked over at him.

"Yeah." He let out a sigh and looked away.

"Are you ever going to tell me why you wear the mask or why I can't see your left eye?"

"I'll tell you when we're alone, okay?" He smiled. Man, I'm getting good at deciphering what he's doing from that one eye.

"Alrighty. I'm done." I pushed the bowl away from me.

"That was good money! Finish it!" He warned me.

"But I am finished." I reasoned.

"No, seriously… Finish it now or else."

"Or else what?" I said, looking at him with a look that said 'do your worst'.

"Or… I won't show you my eye!" He announced. I let out a gasp and then frowned, continuing to eat.

"Damn you, Kakashi Hatake." I muttered. He just laughed.

"Okay. How about now?" I asked as we walked back to the house.

"No."

"…Now?"

"NO! When we get inside." He yelled and shook his head, "You're so impatient."

"Am not." I frowned and pushed him.

"Oh! You'll pay for that!" Kakashi yelled after he landed on the ground.

"I thought you were supposed to be good?" I teased and then ran off before he caught me. I ran for a good five minutes before I realized I had no clue where I was. Good job, Aki, good job.

"Aki-san!" A heard a girl shout. I jumped a bit. I'm sort of afraid of dark, unknown places.

"Oh, Sakura! It's only you!" I let out a sigh of relief.

"What are you doing around here? Kakashi lives over that way." Sakura said and pointed in the opposite direction of where I was going.

"Well, I don't exactly know my way around town." I said in my defence, "Would you mind directing me back home?"

"Oh sure." She smiled and then told me which way to go.

"Thanks!" I said and started walking off.

"Hey, Aki… Are you coming to class tomorrow?" She called after me.

"Um, I wasn't planning on it. Why?"

"Well, Kakashi seems nicer when you're around. It was a very pleasant change."

"I'll see what I can do. I might have business tomorrow, but I'll see if I can come." I lied to her. Of course, I had nothing at all to do, but class had been a living nightmare. Although, Kakashi would be there and it's not like I'd be doing any work. Maybe I will go.

"Oh, thank you." She said and then headed off to where I assumed her house was. So, I started walking again. I was intent on finding my way back home. Eventually, I found my way there and saw there were no lights in the windows. I paused. Where in the world could he be?

Then, he jumped out of the bushes and tackled me. How'd I miss that! It's only been a day and my ninja powers are weakening! Okay, I'm just being dramatic. That can't be true. If I add that to him being REALLY good and me being scared out of my wits, I guess it makes sense.

So, anyway, he tackled me. I let out a scream and tried to fight back because I thought he was a crazy attacker, but then I realized who it was… And I kept fighting back.

"ARRG! KAKASHI! GET OFF!" I yelled and then paused, blushing as I realized that our neighbours' house's lights had flicked on and they were looking at us.

"Take it in the house!" One neighbour yelled, which made me go even redder.

"Kakashi!" I hissed at him. And just like Kakashi, he was laughing again. So, I kicked him. Well, that got him off me.

After we were done fighting a little more, I hobbled my way inside the house and over to the couch. I let out a sigh and then glared at him.

"What was that about!" I questioned.

"I felt like scaring you." He shrugged and sat down beside me.

"Well, I hope you had fun because that's the last time you pull that stunt."

"Oh, calm down! It was funny!" He laughed.

"Maybe for you it was. Now everyone on the street thinks I'm your whore or something."

"Why would they think that?" He tried to play innocent.

"Boy, you really are ignorant." I shook my head and ignored him. I sighed and shut my eyes, in a feeble attempt to ignore him. About two minutes later, he nudged me. Quite roughly, if I do say so myself.

"You aren't falling asleep on me are you?"

"Nope, but why would you care?"

"The night is still young. There is much we haven't accomplished." He told me. I opened one eye and looked at him.

"Huh?"

"Are you winking at me?"

"NO!" I whacked his head. He did that annoying little laugh again. Is there nothing I can do to get this guy mad?

"Sure." He said sarcastically.

"I thought you were going to show me your eye."

"I was. That's why I tackled you. I was hoping we'd get in a fight. I don't really like to show my eye when I'm not fighting."

"I'm too tired to fight." I nodded frantically. He sighed and then reached up towards his headband. I sat up straight and watched him. Was he going to show me? Yes! He was! He slowly moved the headband up…

"Happy?" He asked.

"Is… Is that sharingan?" I asked in complete awe.

"Yes." He replied in a sort of tone that told me he wasn't going to answer any more questions about it.

"Hah! And I thought you had no eye. Man, I was wrong." I laughed, breaking the serious note of the conversation.

"Well, if you're just going to poke fun at it…" He said, sounding offended and went to pull his headband back down. I grabbed his hand.

"No. Don't." I offered him a small smile and went back to inspecting his eye. He shut his eyes as I ran my index finger over the scar by his eye. I wondered absently how he got it. I moved my finger away and watched as he opened the eye again.

"Are you done?" He asked. I blushed a little bit.

"Um… Y-yes…" I muttered and looked away. My hands were shaking. Why? Why? I can't be feeling anything for this idiot, could I? I tried to convince myself otherwise, but I just couldn't help thinking that he wasn't that bad.

"Is something wrong?" Kakashi's voice interrupted my train of thought and spun me back into reality. I looked over at him. I really shouldn't have. I could hear the little voice telling me to look away, while another much louder voice told me to express my feelings.

I studied his face. I wanted to kiss him, but… Why'd he have to wear that mask! Spending only a split second on my decision, I leaned in and kissed him where I thought his lips might be.

Okay… I really wanted to end the chapter with that. So, I'm sorry if this chapter small. Maybe if I have time, I'll come on tomorrow and update again!

So, please send me reviews because you know I love them.
