Chapter 3: The reason
They sat in the shade of a tree, Kagome brushing the tip of the grass blades with the palm of her hand. Team Seven were working on their water jutsus all three pre-teens were soaked from head to toe from their failed attempts. She felt a shift then heard a rustle next to her. Throwing a glance over her shoulder, she saw Kakashi pull out his infamous orange book. He looked up and hmm'd softly. Putting away the orange book, he grabbed Kagome's hand. Fingers caressing her cheek, Kakashi tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
Kakaashi grinned behind his mask and spoke.
"The way your eyes shine, leaves me breathless."
Kagomes eyes started to get glossy, her heartbeat pounding faster within her chest.
"And to you, this I confess,"
Kakashi started to stroke her hand with his thumb.
"I know this might sound corny",
The twinkle in his eyes brightened.
"But baby, you make me horny".
A blush stained her cheeks as she looked away, muttering about hentais. He gently grasped her chin, turning her face towards him.
He isn't going to quote poetry,
"When on missions, if I think of you I get distracted so when you are here, I try to memorize every little expression your beautiful face makes."
He's not thinking about you every moment,
She knew she couldn't be on his mind all the time. Any distraction could cause a ninja their life.
"But you're the reason that keeps me coming back. I come back for you because I can't die if my heart is in Konoha."
Kagome leaned her face against the palm of his hand as he placed a kiss on the crown of her hair. Her eyes closed and she let out a contented sigh. It was the little things like this that had her falling deeper for him.
But he will give you a part of him that he knows could break
His scent surrounded her and she inhaled deeply. Like lemon grass and the pages of a book. Kakashi smelled like home and home was where your heart is.
