Kakashi POV
Asuma and Gai arrived just on time and I opened the door to greet them.
"Hey, come inside." I said and they entered.
"So how much did you bring with you?" Gai asked.
"It was half and half. She got rid of half of her things and I put half of my things here. The other half of mine was sold aswell." I said.
"Smart, making money out of this." Asuma said and I shrugged.
"Where's Valentine? I want to make sure she's ok!" Gai asked and did his little thumbs up teeth sparkle wink.
"Can you wait till she actually gets here to wink? Never wink at Kakashi or myself… it creeps me out. Seriously, I'll have nightmares." Asuma said and I chuckled,
"She'll be out in a minute or so." I said and showed them to the kitchen. I began to make some tea when she came down. Her hair was braided over her shoulder and she had a Pink pinstriped vest over a yellow tanktop and blue jeans on.
"Hi guys." She said and smiled, I smiled back and Asuma and Gai tackled her with hugs. She laughed,
"Teas ready." I said and we all sat down.
Asuma set them up in cups, but Valentines was in a travel cup.
"Asuma why is mine in to-go form?" she asked and he Gai smiled cheesily.
"We must have guy talk! It's necessary for we are still youthful!" he shouted and did the wink thingy. She obviously didn't want him to go on a rant because she grabbed her dup.
"Alright! I'm going." She sand and hurried out.
"Ok what's this about?" I asked.
"Time for THE talk." Asuma said.
"You and Val seem to be getting pretty serious." Gai said.
"I swear to god if you give me the sex talk I'll kill you both." I said annoyed at their sudden need to 'talk'.
Asuma laughed,
"No No NO, I just wanted to make sure you actually like-" Asuma started.
"Love," I interrupted, "I love her."
"wait… you told her?" he asked and I nodded.
"ALRIGHT!! That's awesome. I was waiting for you to finally tell her, jeez." Gai said.
"I want her to marry me." I said. Asuma and Gai were both speechless.
"Seriously? Wow, you've been thinking about his for a while haven't you?" Asuma asked.
"Yes, I bought the ring," I said, " I want to ask her soon, I'm trying to think of how. I'll let you know how it goes." I said.
"Alright… but is she safe?" He said.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Well you go on a lot of dangerous missions, would anyone want revenge?" Asuma asked.
"Most of them are assassinations… If one were to live then I guess so." I said.
"… About that… we came to warn you about something, the mission you went on two days ago was a failure. He was spotted around Konoha today." Asuma said and I punched the table.
"You wait until now to tell me?! You should have told me right away damnit! You sent Valentine out alone, fuck!" I shouted pissed and ran out the door to find her.
-SHIT SHIT SHIT!! This guys famous for knowing things, he probably knows a lot about me and most likely about valentine.- I thought.
I couldn't use Pakkun to find her because of the smell, he couldn't smell her. I could though, I followed it to her and ran u to her… But my heart skipped a beat when what I thought was her poofed into a picture of her tied up.
"FUCK!" I shouted and teleported back to the house. I grabbed Asuma by his collar and slammed him against a wall,
"What were you thinking sending her put alone knowing what you did?!" I shouted and Gai ran up to help him and I punched him across the room,
"Get the hell out." I hissed and went upstairs to get some weapons to find her. I had no idea where to start, it took me a month last time to find this guy how the hell was I supposed to find him now?
Gai had left but Asuma came up to my room.
"Let me help you, or get one of your dogs to track him, they probably remember the scent and he's around Konoha." He said.
"I don't want your help, but thanks for the advice." I said, Pakkun and I took off towards his scent. Pakkun told me he was pretty far… I wonder where he could have possibly taken her.
