Thanks for the reviews everyone! I am sooooo sorry I havent updated in like 3 weeks. I started a new job and Im juggling working full time, being a wife and being a mother to a 3 year old. This will be the last chapter and probably the last story I write for some time. I hate to end this story so abruptly, but I hate keeping people waiting too. I refuse to start something and not finish it. Its been killing me knowing this story was unfinished, but I just havent had time. I still have some writers block, but hopefully I can piece together a good ending. This story is rated T, so no lemons :( Sorry to everyone who had their hopes up, but you can check out my other story, Working on more than a job. It is kakasaku and has a couple of lemons in it. Its a long story, though. Once again thanks to my followers/reviewers. Your reviews keep me going and give me the urge to finish! I love you all! Here we go!
A Christmas Eve gone wrong
Snowed in
RECAP
He smiled. If she agreed to take this further, he would kiss her like that every day for the rest of her life.
"Are you offering me a relationship, Kakashi?" She asked, smiling mischievously. "Thats EXACTLY what I'm offering Sakura. I dont know where it will go, but I have been hiding my feelings too long, to have tonight happen and not give us a chance to see where it will go."
Sakura nodded. She felt the exact same way. She snuggled up into his chest and joined him in watching the fire.
Kakashi thought about what it was going to be like, being in a relationship. The extent of his relationships lasted about 12 hours, and that was if she stayed the night, but he rarely brought anyone home. It was her place, or hotels. Bringing someone home was only if he knew she would probably never be in the leaf village again.
He rarely had anyone that lived in Konoha over at his place. Kakashi was a very private man, who liked to keep most everything about him ... well ... private. But something about Sakura, made him want to show her everything that he kept hidden from everyone.
He looked down at her, as she watched the fire, her eyes danced a color mixed between green and gold. She looked so comfortable and he could see a faint smile on her face. He could tell she was deep in thought, no doubt thinking about their future, just like him.
Silence hung in the air except for the jazzy Christmas melodies, flowing from the record player.
Sakura looked up at Kakashi and smiled. "You know, we wouldnt be where we are, if I hadnt decided to deliver your scroll tonight." Kakashi smiled and pulled her closer. "I know, trust me, I am glad you decided to come."
The storm was still relentless outside. Kakashi kept watching the fire, and soon Sakura had snuggled into his lap. He sat there thinking for quite some time until her breathing began to steady and he was sure was asleep. The music had stopped and he wouldnt dare get up to change it and rouse her. He pulled the blanket up to her cheek, leaned back and let himself fall under the sleeping spell the howl outside seemed to sing.
CHRISTMAS MORNING
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
"KAKASHI! OPEN THE DOOR!"
Kakashi woke to the loud noise. Sakura bolted up from his lap, startled by the noise as well. Kakashi got up and made his way to the door, pulling up his mask as he went. He opened it and where he expected to be eye level with who he was pretty sure was Genma by the sound of the voice, he didnt see anyone, just white. Then something gently knocked his head. He looked up and slightly above his head, he saw feet. There was a white wall of snow where his door was.
Genma was squatting down, head hanging to the side, trying to see under the door panel to look at Kakashi.
"Hey man, hate to bother you on Christmas, but Sakura is missing. She had mentioned needing to bring you something last night, did she come by here?"
Sakura walked up behind Kakshi and into Genma's view. She looked up at him and smiled. "Ah, I thought so." Genma smirked. Well, you guys arent getting out right now, so get cozy. There are snowdrifts up against all of the houses and its frozen solid. You got at least 4 feet of snow up against this door, packed tight into a block of ice. Sakura, I'll let your parents know you will be late. They are the ones who sent us looking for you."
Sakura nodded. Genma got up and started to walk away. Kakashi shut the door and turned to Sakura. "Merry Christmas, want breakfast?" "Merry Christmas and Definitely" She chirped with a smile. As she headed to the kitchen, she was stopped in the doorway by strong hands gently grabbing her waist. He turned her around and pulled down his mask, while pulling her close. His lips found hers. Once they broke apart, he pointed up at the mistletoe. "I think I'm going to have you coming in and out of the kitchen all day." He said with a chuckle. Sakura surely didnt mind.
END STORY
Im so sorry if this chapter was less than what any of you expected. I'm not exactly happy with this story. I had such hopes for it, but I hadnt expected to get this new job when I started writing it. I had to make it short because I still didnt know where to go with it and I actually had some time to write, and didnt want to leave you all hanging any longer. Hopefully when I take my vacation in December, I will have some new material and write a story. My other story, has 24 chapters and I wrote it all on my last vacation, in about a week. So theres still hope! LOL! Once again, thanks for reading. Please dont flame me too hard, this story was not my best work. Hope at least some of you enjoy it.
