Alright my darlings. You asked for it so here it is.

The next chapter of the awkward first date.

(***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************)

Kakashi was oddly sweet about the date despite the fact every time a song by Beyonce or Justin Timberlake played, he visibly cringed in his seat. Finally after the fourth or fifth song Uzu reached over and turned the radio down until it was almost inaudible and said, "Your not enjoying yourself are you."

Kakashi gave her a slightly startled look as he stopped fumbling around with his left pant pocket. He was so tied up in knots about making sure that Uzu had fun on their date that he was dying for a smoke.

"Wha? No. I'm having fun." Which wasn't far from the truth despite the fact that he was planning to maliciously rip his car radio out of the frigging dash board if he had to listen to one more damn brain raping song by some dumbass guy who used to be in a boy band.

Uzu played with the ring that he had given her and gave him a sad smile. "Don't lie Kashi. Your hating this."

"What? No I'm not... I'm hating the music. But everything else is fine. Have I told you that you look pretty yet? Cause you do. You look-" He looked over at her and stopped babbling in mid sentence and took a deep breath before saying softly. "You look very pretty."

Uzu blushed a little bit at his words and he grinned at her as he finally managed to fish his cigarettes out of his pocket. "Okay so if the music is the problem... Then why don't we change the station or something?"

"I refuse to touch the dial, Uzu-" Kakashi said as he pulled a cigarette out of the box in his hand and put it in his mouth before saying. "I don't know what sort of music you like so having me change the station would be a tad bit inconsiderate considering that this is our first date and all. I'm willing to sit through the boy band bullshit that girls like if it will make you happy. Just don't expect me to be happy about it or like it any."

Uzu giggled as he lit his cigarette, drawing his mismatched eyes to her face, wondering what it was that she found amusing.

"Would you like to know a secret Kashi?" Uzu asked with an enigmatic smile. Kakashi nodded his head mutely and Uzu giggled again.

"I don't like this boy band bullshit either. It's all so stupid and annoying. If a guy is going to sing in a high pitched voice and sound like a girl then he should take the next logical step and become a girl. And FYI those annoying guys have nothing going for them but their looks. And even those are nothing if you really look at them."

Kakashi gaped at her for the second time that morning and almost dropped his cigarette in his lap before he managed to pull himself together enough to laugh and say, "Hand me my CD case darlin. And I'll put something less annoying on the radio."

Uzu dug his large gray covered CD carrying case out from under her seat and handed it to him and let him flip through it before putting in a Breaking Benjamin CD and then turning up the volume as Diary of Jane started to play.

Kakashi made a happy sound as he snapped the CD case closed and set it aside as Uzu leaned across the seat and laid her head on his shoulder. Kakashi nearly dropped his cigarette again, and this time burned a small hole in his jeans before he managed to get it out of his lap and made a mental note to stop smoking since he was an accident waiting to happen. And focused instead on Uzu who hadn't been the least bit disturbed by his jumping around a second ago and seemed to be having fun humming along with the song.

Making the fact that he had almost burned his junk more than worth it. He took one last drag on his cigarette and then tossed it out the window and wrapped an arm around Uzu's slender shoulders and pulled her closer. "What do you say that after this we go hit an amusement park? I hear that the lines are short this early in the morning."

Uzu tipped her head back a little bit and looked up at him and smiled. "Okay. But only after the CD is done."

Kakashi's lips twitched in amusement as he gave her a slight squeeze. "Anything you want darlin."
