Chapter 8

I pull out a business card and thorn-less white rose. I read the small business card; I'm the type for hearts and flowers. I hope this means something to you in a way I cannot explain in words. Text me – K

I continue to stare at the rose and alternating to the paper. I finally look up to Kurenai, whose jaw is hanging. She regains herself and stares at me shocked. "Anko do you know what that torn-less white rose means?" Kurenai asks.

"It's a flower," I shrug. "Plus I don't think Kakashi knows anything either."

Kurenai sighs audibly, "He obviously did his research."

I walk to the kitchen to grab a glass of water and I make my way back into my room. I close my door and I drop the white rose into the glass of water, leaving it by my bedside table. I fiddle with the card then I pick up my phone.

I dial his number and I hold it up to my ear. "Hello?" He answers with his raspy voice, he sounds like he just woke up.

"Hi," I whisper back.

"Oh hi Miss Mitarashi," It's weird that I can sense his smile. "Do you have plans later this evening?"

"I don't quite know yet. Why?"

"Let me take you on a date then."

I feel a shock of joy, "Maybe."

"That's a yes. I'll be over around seven. Call me if you need to see me sooner."

"I'll do just that. Bye Kakashi."

"Bye baby," He whispers and hangs up.

I open up my laptop and I always seem to check the news on Google first. I scroll down a bit then I see my name randomly appear. My name with Kakashi's right there. I click it not knowing what to expect.

When the page loads I see the title as, SPOTTED! KAKASHI AND ANKO WANDERING THE STREETS OF NEW YORK.

The large picture is a photo of Kakashi and I'm not even in the picture. He's fixing his tie while walking next to this woman who was really just passing by. I laugh at the picture.

Once I stop laughing I start to examine the picture some more. Kakashi looks rather hot in the picture. His silver hair is tousled and he's licking his lips. Then I remember him yesterday. He was inside of me. He was so hot, but he left.

Xxxxxx

I sit on my bed not knowing what to do next. I'm dying of boredom. Kakashi did tell me to call him sooner, but it might look as if I am too desperate and clingy. I reach for my phone when suddenly it starts ringing. I check the caller I.D, it's Iruka.

I regret ignoring him but I really don't want to talk to him right now. I take a moment to stare at my phone and I answer it anyways, "Hi Iruka."

"Oh thank god you picked up. I've been meaning to talk to you about that other day," I hear the pain in his voice.

Now I have to talk to him. "Don't worry about Iruka. It's harmless case of being drunk."

"There was nothing harmless about that. I need to thank Kakashi for being there and stopping me."

"Don't worry Iruka I forgive you."

"Are you still with Kakashi?"

"We're friends," I mutter not liking that idea anymore. "We were never together."

"Do you want to grab something to eat with me for dinner as friends?" He asks.

"I can't…" I say hesitantly. "I have a date with Kakashi."

I look to the door because I feel something. Nothing is at my door but I hear the main door open. It's probably Asuma.

"You have a date with him?" I can hear the comfort in Iruka's voice.

I smile, "Yes I do."

"Well I'll let you to it. Lunch tomorrow, no exceptions."

"Deal, bye Iruka."

"Bye Anko."

I hang up and I drop my phone, sighing. I look up and I see Kakashi standing at the foot of my bed. I scream. "Calm down," His voice commands me and his eyes are stone cold.

I suddenly feel scared. He's suddenly so cruel and frightening. I move back to the head of my bed to get as far away from him as I can.

He's wearing a black t-shirt and a pair of black skinny jeans. He can't seem to stop glaring at me. He sighs, "We'll discuss over dinner."

"Discuss what?" I ask still scared.

He looks at me. His eyes are warmer and calming. "Don't worry about it."

He starts moving closer to me. Then we're face to face. He kisses me softly. I push him away, "Tell me."

He looks into my eyes. He sighs, "I know who Genma is."

I freeze in utter shock.

I stare out the window quietly. I don't want to talk to anyone. I don't even want to be here. Kakashi knows my life. No one knows my life besides Kurenai. What makes Kakashi so special? How does he even know? All these questions are unanswered because of the man beside me.

He presses a button and a black screen dividing the driver from the passengers. He heavily sighs and stares at me. I don't make eye contact with him but I continue to stare out the window.

"Anko talk to me," He says softly.

I don't answer. I can feel him getting frustrated. "Look at me goddamit."

I turn my head to face him but I show no emotion, well I try. "What are you going to do now? Leave me in a ditch?"

I can see a smile on Kakashi's face but he hides it well. "I'm not going to leave. But we need to talk and trust each other."

I nod agreeing with him. This is the only way we'll be together. "We'll talk over dinner," I say. I don't want to talk to him now.

"No we'll talk about the serious things over dinner. We'll talk about our likes and dislikes now." He pauses and searches my eyes for something. "What do you like?"

"I like sleep. What do you like?" I answer and ask.

"Well I like to fuck and you," He smiles like any other guy would.

How can Kakashi say one sentence and it completely changes my mood? For some reason I always feel that someone is playing with me. It doesn't help that I get overly attached too.

I feel his hand on my chin then suddenly I'm staring at his eyes. I love Kakashi's eyes. They're pure black but filled with all wonders. He kisses me, "I'm not going to leave you."

"What if I want you to leave?" I ask teasing him.

He kisses me again but holds our touch for longer. "I won't allow that. Now that we're here, we can get into the more serious talk."

I feel something in my stomach. Almost like butterflies but he may know a different story. Asuma opens the door for us. I thank him and Kakashi just nods. Kakashi takes my hand in his and starts walking into this restaurant I've never heard of before.

It's called Shiawasena. That means happy which seems a bit cliché to me. Kakashi leads me in, calls for a table and sits me down in a booth in less than five minutes.

He holds warm sake in-between the palms of his hand and looks at me in the eyes. He quiets down to only the low sound of chatter around us. "Shall I start?" He asks.

I take a deep breath then slowly nods.

"Okay, well I know that Genma is your brother. I went through his records, found out his parents. I searched their file and I found your name under the adoption also another son. Now you need to fill in the holes for me," He says in his warming low voice.

I look down to my hands not wanting to look at anyone right now. "My other brother is Gekkou."

"Why did you react like how you did to Genma?" Kakashi asks.

"I don't want to tell you," I murmur. "Besides-"

"I know what he did."

"Then why did you ask?"

He doesn't answer but he lifts my head up to meet his gaze again. I take a deep breath with his stinging eyes on me. "You need to calm down. I won't tell anyone nor will I do anything that you don't like," He reassures me.

After we eat our expensive meal it's time me to go home. I continue to stare out the window knowing that he knows me more than I know him. He revealed something to me, for example how he's adopted too but that's all he gave me.

Turns out we've both lied to each other. Best part of developing a relationship is lying to each other but tomorrow is Monday. I actually can start working and we've talked about work over dinner too.

It turns out that in the commercial business, they're missing assistance and Kakashi has moved me to that department. I really hope that my new boss isn't a dick like my past ones were.

When I look down to my hands is when I find out that he's holding my hand. He's really starting to grow on my but I hate when he's stone cold with no emotion. I like the caring and respectful Kakashi I get most of the time. I feel him brush my knuckles with the pad of his thumb and give me a reassuring squeeze.

"Want to stay over tonight?" I ask quietly.

He looks to me in shock. "Are you joking or serious?" He gives me a crooked smile.

I'm surprised that he would even ask that. Why would I be joking about him staying over with me? "I'm now joking."

"So you were serious. Anko you're full of surprises."

He says I'm full of surprises, yet he's a roller coaster full of turns and sloops. "So are you staying?"

He seems amused when I say it another time. "I'll stay if you and Kurenai let me."

"Kurenai isn't in charge of you. I am," I say out loud before I can stop myself.

He leans in closer to my ear, "Oh honey. You're not in charge. I am," His low raspy voice makes me shiver.

"So now you're in charge of me? I won't let that happen," I giggle a bit and I kiss his cheek.

"I love that giggle of yours," He whispers back.

I notice that the car stopped moving. I quickly let go of his hand and I unbuckle my seat belt. I open the door and we're already at the front of flat. I exit the SUV and I enter my safe home, not taking a look back at Kakashi.

He's supposed to be staying here with me but he'll probably leave with some lame excuse he makes with work. That seems to be how he leaves. I ignore everything which is Kurenai on the couch asking me why he's following me and I walk into my room.

I fall onto my bed tired while Kakashi closes the door behind him. He walks to the side of my bed and sits. "Anko, you're moving departments."

AN: Guys I'm so sorry I haven't upload in so long. Everything is flooding in right now and I'm going to be extremely busy until the New Year. So please bear with me and I promise I'll see you soon!
