Chapter 6: A Beautiful Night
It took Sakura's brain a moment to instruct her body to breath again. Her eyes did not leave Sasuke and Ino even for a split second, as the seating host led them to the stairs.
"Please, please don't let them sit next to us!", Sakura prayed in her head, glancing quickly at the booth next to Kakashi's and her own, which was clean and open.
Kakashi noticed Sakura's uncomfortable look, and followed her gaze. After his eye rested on Sasuke and Ino, he chuckled with a hint of both shock and utter annoyance, "A small world, isn't it Sakura?"
Jumping at the sound of her name, Sakura turned back to face Kakashi, she nodded slightly, thinking gravely to herself, "What will they think if they see me here with Kakashi! My old sensei!"
Kakashi was a bit upset that Sakura looked so uncomfortable, especially since everything had just been going very well, "Sakura, if you don't want to stay we could always-"
"No!", Sakura cut him off, unaware that when she had blurted that out, her hand slipped slightly and now the outer edge of her pinky was touching Kakashi's thigh just barley, Sakura's face turned pink as she continued, pretending not to notice, "This place is wonderful! And you made reservations! No no, we have to stay!"
Kakashi smiled and nodded, "Alright then."
Sakura looked away from Kakashi for a moment to examine the restauraunt, there they were. Sasuke and Ino sat about four booths away from Kakashi and Sakura, perfect. Sakura could see them, but they couldn't see her.
Sakura sighed with a bit of releif, now she could concentrate on the other situation she had at the moment…her pinky was still touching Kakashi's thigh.
Should she move it?…but what if Kakashi had already noticed and would take it as a bad thing? Mabye she should leave it…no, no what if he notcied that too and took it as her being dirty or wanting more then just this date!
Arugh. Pretending to look at the fancy quezines on the menu in front of her, Sakura battled with her inner self on what to do with her pinky.
But as she was, Kakashi had repositioned himself in his seat slightly, removing his thigh from her barley touching pinky.
Jerk. Loser. Mabye this date was just a stupid sympathy thing! Arugh! Mabye she should just call the whole thing off and storm out even if Sasuke and Ino did see her with Kakashi!
But just as the hurt level began to rise in Sakura, Kakashi repositioned himself again and this time his thigh covered her whole pinky.
Oh faith! Joy! Hazza! Mabye this wasn't a sympathy date! Mabye Kakashi really did like her enough to ask her on one!
Sakura grinned to herself, and then glared pitifully over at the fourth booth away, Sasuke really was just stupid a cockatoo compared to Kakashi.

After finishing they're delitious meal, Sakura and Kakashi sat and chatted a while longer about…well everything, and then once they're stomachs had settled, decied to head on out.
Much to Sakura's disaproval and arugment, Kakashi paid for the entire meal, and even left a rather wholesome tip.
Kakashi was about to lead Sakura in the opposite direction, so that Sasuke and Ino wouldn't have to see them.
Sakura was about to oblige and follow, but with a determined look, Sakura stopped him.
Kakashi gave her a puzzled look, and Sakura answered, smirking, "Let's go this way,"-she tilited her head towards the exit near Sasuka and Ino's booth- "I feel like saying hi to my old ninja buddies."
Kakashi smirked back at Sakura, and, with his strong arm resuming it's place around her waist, they made they're way towards the exit.
Ino saw them first, and when she did, her mouth dropped open, "Sakura…K-Kakashi! A-Are you two on a-"
"Date? Yes.", Kakashi shrugged simpily, gripping Sakura's waist tighter, Sakura giggled.
Sasuke then made a type of choking noise on his drink and turned in astonishment towards Sakura and Kakashi.
"Hey Ino, Sasuke.", Sakura smirked playfully, glancing at the pair in front of her, "Can't really talk, Kakashi and I have other plans. Well, we'll be see'in ya!", Sakura said mysteriously, and as if on que, Kakashi turned and with Sakura's waist still firmly in his grip, they left the shocked Sasuke, and equally shocked and slightly envious Ino starring after them.
- - - - - -
"Did you see Ino's face!", Sakura was giggling like a giddy school school as she and Kakashi walked through the dark parking lot to Kakashi's equally dark car, "And let's not forget Sasuke's!", Sakura laughed again.
Kakashi chuckled, he had to admit, the expressions were quite entertaining.
Sakura sighed with utter content and looked up at Kakashi. Kakashi smiled back down at her and said, "So Sakura, what exactly were those other plans you were talking about?" Kakashi grinned slyly underneath his mask.
"Uh?", Sakura said innocently, the tops of her cheeks turning light pink, and she looked at her shoes as they walked, "I….don't remember?"
Kakashi let out a deep chuckle that made Sakura's face turn the shade of a ripe strawberry, "And just what, is so funny!", Sakura snapped playfully, still not looking at Kakashi in the face.
"Oh nothing, nothing…", Kakashi sighed, though he chuckled again.
"Your lieing!", Sakura pouted, finally getting enough inner strength to look Kakashi in the face.
"No! No not that look!", Kakashi laughed again, trying to take his eye off of Sakura's cute face. Not much luck in doing so.
"Haha! I've found your weakness Kakashi!", Sakura laughed, wiggling from his grasp she stood in front of Kakashi. He stopped walked and crossed his strong arms over his chest, a bring-it-on-smirk look on his face.
Taking a large inhale, Sakura put on her biggest and most shiny pair of emerald eyes, her cutest pout, and pout both of her arms around her back, puffing out her chest a bit, and gently rocking back and forth on her heels.
Kakashi's face grew very warm underneath his mask as Sakura said quietly, almost sexily, "Kakashi? Pretty please, tell whats so funny?"
Kakashi swallowed slightly, and answered as coolly as he could, "You, just make me laugh is all."
Sakura was disappointed that he still hadn't told her what was funny yet, but she was extremely pleased to see how Kakashi was looking at her at the moment.
"Fine then!", Sakura smiled slyly, turning away from Kakashi, and called over her should, "See you at the car!" And with that, Sakura pulled Kakashi's car keys from her pocket.
Kakashi's eye widened, "What the!-", he touched the pocket he was keeping his keys in, they were gone. He looked up at Sakura, when the heck did she get them? How did he not notcie!
Sakura stuck her tongue out cutely and giggled, wiggling the keys in her grasp, she took off running into the darkness of the parking lot.
Kakashi smirked, this wasn't going to be very hard. And in a flash he had moved on after Sakura.
- - -
Sakura's feet barely hit the ground and her breathing was silent as she moved on deeper into the pitted darkness of the back parking lot, avoiding any of the dull lamp posts at all costs. Still moving, Sakura looked around, no sight of Kakashi. Sakura listened to the air around her, she couldn't hear him either.
Risking a moment, Sakura stopped running, and in a slight battle stance she listned and looked closely into the darkness surounding her.
She whispered quietly, making various quick hand motions, "Speed clone jutsu!"
And in a quick moment, several pairs of keys appeared in Sakura's hand that looked identical to Kakashi's real pair.
Setting down one of the imiation keys, Sakura took of running swiftly again. Every thirty yards or so, Sakura would do the same thing with the last two clone sets of keys she had.
Smirking, Sakura began sprinting as hard as she could even farther into the darkness of the poorly lit parking lot.
But no more then 10 seconds after Sakura began sprinting, when Kakashi appeared form our of no where in front of her. Coming to a screeching hault, Sakura let out a surprised cry.
Kakashi stood up straight and smirked thoughtfully, "Nice try Sakura, but rememeber, I was your old sensei. So just hand over my keys or we'll be late."
Sakura grinned back, "You'll get your keys when you can catch me and then take them from me, sensei.", Sakura then put Kakashi's keys into the pocket of her jean skirt, and took off silently from Kakashi, disappearing quickly from the speed.
"She's gotten much faster." , Kakashi smirked, giving Sakura a few seconds head start, before launching out after her.
Gaining sight of Sakura through the almost pitch blackness of the dim parking lot was all too easy, as mumbled, "Earth crumble jutsu!", making a few hand movements.
Suddenly there was a startled cry ahead and a loud thumping sound.
Kakashi smirked playfully as he swung in front of Sakura, who was lying on the ground, the pavement surrounding her feet.
Gritting her teeth she looked up at Kakashi and sighed with defeat, "That almost hurt ya'know." Kakashi and Sakura laughed, as Kakashi took Sakura's hand and with a firm sawying pull, helped her to her feet, "Sorry Sakura, if I was too ruff!", Kakashi apologized, smiling a bit.
"Don't be sorry!", Sakura laughed, "It was a fun little review of how talented you are Kakashi!", Sakura laughed, pulling the keys from her tight pocket and handing the to Kakashi.
Kakashi smiled thoughtfully, as he took the keys from Sakura and the two headed to his parked car.
- - - - -
Once Kakashi and Sakura had finally reached the car, it was almost 10:45 pm.
"I think we'll make it just in time..", Kakashi said as Sakura shut the door to her side of the car.
"Make it where?", Sakura asked, buckling up.
"Surprise.", Kakashi smirked again.
Sakura sighed, but smiled. She wouldn't go further with it this time.
- - - - -
The Lexas LF-A slowed to a smooth hault. And as Kakashi turned off the ignition, Sakura unbuckled her seatbelt and opened her car door.
A cool summer night breeze ruffled her shiny pink hair, as she looked around herself.
They were at the town's central park. Sakura was really curious now, what the heck would be so exciting that they had to come here?
Kakashi came over to Sakura, and once again wih his hand on her waist, said, "The best seat for the show is this way.", he smiled down at her.
Sakura nodded and smiled gingerly back at Kakashi's handsome face.
- - - -
After a few minutes or so of walking, Kakashi stopped at a park bench, "Here we are!", he said contently, having Sakura sit on the bench, and taking the seat beside her. At the moment all Sakura could see ahead of her were a couple of extremely large pine trees 40 some yards away.
Sencing her confusion Kakashi said, "Don't worry, it's coming soon.",
"What is coming soon!", Sakura murmered inside of her head, but no sooner had she thought this, then the moon pulled up slowly from behind the tip of one of the pine trees.
Sakura gasped slightly, she had never seen the moon like that before. It looked rounder and fuller then Mickey Mouse's ears could have ever hoped to be, and it seemed to be giving off a ten times more radient, pale/silver color then ever before. Not to mention that it looked close enough to touch.
"Kakashi! It's gorgeous! I've never seen anything like it!", Sakura whispered in 'aw', gazing at the glowing orb.
Kakashi put his arm around Sakura's shoulders and smiled, "I knew you'd like it."
Blushing, Sakura smiled at Kakashi, his masculine body and face, being so close, made her insides burn up and put a fire in her stomach.
- - - - - - - -
Sakura and Kakashi had sat and talked quietly on that bench for another hour, watching the incredible moon move ever so slowly across the night sky.
But now they were back at Sakura's house, and Kakashi was walking Sakura up the walk-way and to the front door.
"Kakashi,", Sakura said quietly, blushing a bit, "Tonight was great, thank you so much."
Kakashi smiled warmly at Sakura, "I had an awesome time too Sakura, and trust me, it was my great pleasure to go on a date with you." Kakashi inched his body closer to Sakura's.
Sakura blushed and looked into Kakashi's eye timidly, "Kakashi, I-"
"Sakura.", Kakashi cut her off quietly, Sakura's back was now up against the door to her house and Kakashi was hovering just inches away from her, "I'd be honered if you would go out with me again sometime."
Sakura smiled, and almost whispered, "I'd love to Kakashi…", Sakura's skin was enrolled with goosebumps, she could feel Kakashi's warm breath on her cheek even through his mask.
So deep into Kakashi's powerful gaze, Sakura didn't notice that Kakashi's hand had reached up to the brim of his mask…
