Opening his eyes slowly, Kakashi lifted up his left arm and pinched the bridge of his nose, groaning. He heard a slight moan and he looked to his right. Kimiko was lying on her side next to him, still asleep, her arm around his bare chest. He lifted her arm up and placed it next to her, she groaned and slowly rolled onto her back, a strand of raven black hair draped across her nose. Sitting on the edge of his bed, his mind wandered back to last nights activities.
They had both collapsed from exhaustion and fell asleep in eachothers arms on the sharingan nin's bed. Looking behind him, Kimiko was sleeping soundly. Reaching out, he gently ran the back of his hand down her face. 'She's beautiful even when she sleeps. Perfect, just like an angel.' He stood up and walked to the bathroom where he desperately needed a shower. Turning on the water after taking down Kimiko's clothes and put them on the chair on his desk. Kimiko was sure to find them there. Stepping into the shower, he let the hot water wake him up. Allowing the water cascade over him, the shinobi thought again to last night. 'That was so incredible. I had no idea Kimiko was still a virgin. I'm glad she decided to keep that virginity for me.'
He cracked his neck to one side then the other and grabbed the shampoo. Pouring a decent amount into his hand, he worked it into his hair and scalp, closing his eyes. He sighed in relaxation, and rinsed off his bubbly head, grabbing the soap off of the shower rack and quickly scrubbing himself clean. 'Maybe I should invite Kimiko over here more often. I really would like to spend more time with her, and not just because of the sex either. I seem to feel at ease with her by my side.' After rinsing his body off, he grabbed a clean towel and wrapped it around his waist and walked into his room for a change of clothes.
He noticed Kimiko was already up and standing near the stove when he came into the kitchen. She was still in his boxers and t-shirt. "Morning Kimiko-chan." He greeted her with a kiss on the cheek. She smiled. "Morning Kakashi-kun." She said as she continued cooking "go sit down at the table, I'll have breakfast for us in a minute." As Kakashi turned, he noticed a black ball of fur next to the table hunched over. Blinking, he turned back towards Kimiko, who chuckled softly. "I hope you don't mind Kona. He needed his breakfast." She said as she kneeled down next to the black cat and petted him from the top of his head to the tip of his tail a few times.
"No I don't mind, I'm just a bit surprised he's here." Kimiko looked up at him, stood up and walked back to the stove, where she was cooking some eggs. "He kindof woke me up while you were taking your shower, with a backpack strapped onto his back with his food, and some of my essentials. Don't ask me how the hell he did that though. He's a pretty smart lil kitty." Kakashi leaned against the island in the kitchen and looked down at the cat, still eating quite contentedly. "You always did have a thing for cats Kimiko." He said as he sat down at the table as Kimiko put down a plate of eggs and sausage for themselves. "Oh? I'm not surprised."
She went back to the counter and poured herself a cup of coffee from the coffeemaker. Kakashi smiled to himself. "Yeah I remember, when we were in training together, you saw a kitten and we had to alter the mission just so you could bring the cat home to it's owner." They both laughed, as she walked back with her cup of coffee, sitting down and starting to eat her breakfast. "Yeah I remember that one." She blushed and took a long sip of her coffee, smirking just behind the rim. They had found a small kitten hiding in one of the trees, mewing for it's mother.
Kimiko always had a soft spot for cats, especially kittens. So she had put the kitten in her jacket and continued on the mission with the others. They had found out she had taken the kitten, and adopted it as her own. She protested that the kitten had noone else to take care of it, so the three other ninjas let her keep it for the remainder of the mission. When it came time to give the animal back, she did reluctantly. She ended up crying the rest of the way back to the village. That was the most heartwrenching missions she had ever had as a genin. She hated giving something away that she had gotten attached to. And when it came to small, fluffy kittens, she couldn't help but get very attached to them in a matter of seconds within looking at them.
Kakashi had finished his breakfast and put his dishes in the sink, the same as Kimiko, who finished a few minutes earlier and had left to get back into her now dry ninja clothes. Kona had jumped up onto the table and was staring at him, tail swishing back and forth gently. Kakashi smiled at the black cat. "You're welcome Kona. She'll be just fine now, so she can go home with you today." Kona meowed and jumped off the table, rubbing against the silver-haired mans legs. Chuckling, Kakashi kneeled down and petted the cat's head, who purred in response.
Kimiko came out of the bathroom, her long raven-black hair up in a ponytail, and in her ninja outfit. Her headband was around her waist. She smiled at the sight of her companion Kona and lover Kakashi bonding. Walking over to the both of them, Kimiko kneeled down and Kona jumped into her arms, purring happily. "I guess you missed me didn't you Kona?" She said as she nuzzled the black cat, who meowed and nuzzled back against her face. Giggling, she put Kona down and smiled at Kakashi, who smiled back. "Well, I'd better get home." She said as she took his hand and walked to the door, slipping her feet into her sandals and tapping them on the floor. She looked back at Kakashi who just smiled at her. "Kona…"
The black cat meowed an affirmative, as Kimiko rubbed her feline companion's head. "Let's go home." She said as she opened the door and stood up on her tiptoes to give her lover one last kiss. Kakashi wrapped his arms around her and lifted her up, holding her closely to him as he kissed her back deeply. Kimiko was a little surprised at this but enjoyed the moment for it was the last moment they would spend together for quite awhile. Finally letting Kimiko back onto the floor, blushing madly, she turned and let herself out to go back home to her apartment. Leaning against the doorframe, he watched her walk away, her kitty companion by her side. "I will miss you Kimi-chan." He said to himself as he went back inside, closing the door behind him. He had to train the three genin today and he needed to be focused and alert.
