Chapter 7

WOW! It's been awhile….but here's another chapter….I'm having trouble getting to more ideas and such to use for certain chapters….so I'm piecing together some ideas….I hope what I've come up with is ok…

ENJOY!

The next morning, I woke up just as early as the other day, still feeling really sick. Kakashi got up around the same time so we could continue on our mission. He kissed my forehead.

"Morning, Glad to see I don't have to wake you up again." Kakashi said laughing.

"You didn't wake me up last time either!" I laughed hugging him.

"It shouldn't take too long to pack up…I'll do that and you find out where the heck we are going…." He said.

I nodded then looked at the map. It showed all the villages and I had circled where Kakashi said his mission was. I noticed it was near the hidden mist village.

"Could it have been an assassin…?" I thought to myself. I looked at Kakashi. I couldn't stand losing him. I had already lost a man I cared about…Asuma was everything to me…but now Kakashi has taken his place…and I'm a lot happier with him. He understands me more than Asuma ever did. He knows what I like, what I don't, what I'm allergic to, what my favorite food is…things that took Asuma years to learn. I smiled then blushed and looked down. Kakashi was just…in a word…perfect.

"Whatcha thinking about Kurenai?" Kakashi asked with a slight smile.

"Just…stuff…" I answered with a smile.

"Like?" He asked.

"I remember one time…Asuma got me the prettiest Anemones….But he forgot I was allergic to them and I ended up in the hospital for a week…" I said laughing.

"And while you were there, he tried getting you some chicken soup…but you hated it and you ate it to be nice and puked it back up an hour later." Kakashi said laughing.

"Well I didn't want him to feel bad…and tell him I didn't like it…I mean we were still dating so…it was an honest mistake." I said.

"He didn't propose until maybe a year ago. You weren't even married yet…and he tried to ask me what kind of ring you'd like." Kakashi said with a slightly saddened expression.

"While I was in the hospital…you brought me roses…and after he brought that disgusting soup…you brought pizza…and you've already given me the thing I wanted most Kakashi…"I said smiling. He looked over to me.

"What was that?" He asked.

"A best friend I can also call my husband." I said hugging him. He hugged me back and laughed a little.

"Best friend huh?" He asked.

"Well I didn't have much of a choice of making any one else my best friend. You were always so sweet and kind to me. No matter what…I went to your house that one time Asuma and I had a fight…I stayed at your place for a week." I said.

"I remember that…You thought that was when you guys were gonna break up, and you were crying so much…" He said.

"But I had you, you always make everything better." I said. He smiled.

"c'mon, we should get going." He said. I nodded then we went off. By night fall we were just outside the hidden mist village and we set up camp.

"I call the right side of the tent!" I said as he was pitching the tent.

"Why?" He asked.

"The right side is softer…I think….." I said.

He shrugged and we got in after our dinner and went to bed. That night it was unusually cold. I looked over to Kakashi, after being woken up by the cold, only to see he was sound asleep in his own sleeping bag. I sighed, not wanting to wake him up, and turned on my side trying to go back to sleep. All the sudden I felt a warm arm go over my waist. I turned to see Kakashi smiling at me.

"You seemed cold." He said in a whisper.

I just smiled and turned toward him, then hugged him and fell asleep.

The next morning, I didn't wake up until Kakashi finally decided to wake me up around noon.

"You wanted to sleep in today I guess?" He laughed.

"I'm just tired….sorry..." I said then I yawn.

"Let's leave our stuff here. I'm sure we can come back…let's go figure this out."

I nodded and we went into the hidden mist village. Only to see something huge looming over us.
