Kakashi POV
I met my students before they entered the first exam and headed back home. Valentine was sleeping so I decided to let her, she seemed to be tired lately. I headed over to Asuma's with Kurenai and Gai to hang out for a bit.
"Hey." I said walking in.
"Hey," Ausuma and the rest of them replyed. Except for Gai. His was more like a 'HELLO!!!!'.
"Did you hear Kakashi?" Asuma asked.
"Hear what?" I asked.
"Ibiki is the first exam proctor." He said and I sighed,
"I see, First exam and they're already being hit with him. Less than half is going to pass with him there." I said.
"Why is that?" Kurenai asked.
"Its understandable since you're a new jonin here. Makes sense that you wouldn't know." Asuma said.
"Ibiki is a master at playing mind games. He does the questioning to find out information from enemies." I explained and she nodded.
"On to other topics." Gai said and I raised an eyebrow.
"Other topics?" I asked.
"Yeah. How are things?" he asked.
"… Um… Good. Gai since when do you ask everyday questions?" I asked.
"I don't know… I've never had a normal conversation with you." Gai said.
"That's because you rant and I don't listen." I said and Asuma laughed.
"Damn you and your cool attitude!" Gai shouted.
"How's Valentine?" Asuma asked.
"She's good. Probably still sleeping." I said and he nodded.
"She's still sleeping at this hour?" she asked and I nodded.
"She's been tired lately." I said and Kurenai raised an eyebrow.
"Tired?" She asked.
"Yeah, she's been sleeping in." I said.
"I'll be right back." Kurenai said and stepped out of the room.
"What was that all about?" Asuma asked and I shrugged.
"Did you ask her why she was tired?" Asuma asked.
"Pakkun asked her and I heard. She shrugged, I don't think that she noticed." I said and he nodded.
"I wanna join the conversation!" Gai complained.
"So join." I said not really caring.
"But I have nothing to add!" he said.
"So… don't?" Asuma said. We talked for a few hours.
Kurenai POV
I walked to Kakashi's house to hang out with Valentine and maybe find out why she was so tired, I had an idea. I knocked and someone answered after a few minutes.
"Hey Valentine." I said smiling. She smiled back and let me in.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" she asked.
"I'm just checking up on you. Are you ok?" I asked.
"Yeah, why?" she asked.
"Well it's the afternoon and it looks like you just woke up." I said.
"I did just wake up." She answered.
"I wanted to talk to you about something." I said and led her to her kitchen. We talked for a few hours and I convinced her to see a doctor about her tiredness. She got dressed and let me do her hair. I styled it curly half up half down. It looked pretty. She wore a Red summer dress with a black bow tie around the waist. She also wore black sandals. We walked to the hospital to see a doctor.
"Kurenai I'm really fine. This isn't necessary." She said and I shook my head.
"Yes it is. People are worried about you." I said and she looked at me.
"Like who?" she asked.
"Asuma, Gai, me, and Kakashi." I said and she nodded.
"Alright. Fine." She said and the doctor came out to see us.
We found out why she was having tired issues.
Kakashi POV
I left a little later in the day and started heading home. On my way there I saw that Valentine had woken up and walked around a bit. But I wasn't happy to see another village shinobe walk up to her. His hands were a bit wandering and she looked a little ticked off. He was definitely hitting on her. I walked over and grabbed his wandering hand by the wrist in a tight hold crushing it.
"Back off." I said and Valentine smiled.
"Who the hell are you?" The man asked getting to one knee because his wrist was still in my hand being crushed.
"Meet my husband. Hatake Kakashi." She said and his eyes widened. I let his go and he grabbed his wrist before walking off probably to the hospital.
"Thank you." She said taking my arm and we started to walk home.
"Kurenai stopped by today." She said.
"She did?" I asked.
"Yeah, she said I should see a doctor." She said and I nodded.
"You should." I said.
"I did."
"And?" I asked.
"I'm fine." She said.
"Really?" I asked.
"Really."
Valentine POV
-Maybe I should tell him now. But with the chunnin exam and all it may not be the best time… I would ask for advice but I want him to be the first one to know. Its bad enough Kurenai found out first.- I thought not sure on what to do. I thought about it for a bit end decided it wasn't fair for him not to know. I'll tell him when we get home and have some privacy.
