In light of his long-awaited release from the hospital, Kakashi had come home one day to find a sloppily written invitation attached to his door.
Kakashi-sensei! Team Seven is throwing a party for you at the super awesome UZUMAKI NARUTO RESIDENCE! Be there at 6 for SUPER delicious ramen!
Under the messy print was the neat, precise writing of another one of his students.
Don't. You. Dare. Be. Late.
Kakashi sighed, shaking his head in half exasperation at the antics of his team. Nevertheless, he wasn't that much of a jerk to waste the efforts of his students. He walked into his apartment and glanced at the clock.
5:55 pm.
Hm. He had plenty of time.
At 7:45 p.m, Kakashi knocked on Naruto's door. Lucky for him, his quick reflexes had him dodging a punch that was thrown at him as soon as the door flew open.
"Kakashi-sensei, did you even read the damn note?" Came the irritated voice of Sakura. She opened the door, scowling at him as he cheerfully walked inside.
Kakashi's eyes crinkled into a smile. "Of course I did, Sakura-chan. There was this cat stuck in a tree, and…" Before he could finish Sakura had tried to clobber him, rendering him unable to finish his story.
"My, my. They weren't kidding when they said not to start cooking until 7 p.m," Said a familiar voice, and Kakashi turned to meet the young woman walking out of the kitchen.
"Kagome-san," Kakashi said. He was mildly surprised, but some part of him had expected this.
"Kakashi-san." Kagome greeted in return, smiling at him. Kakashi refused to acknowledge the fact his insides were feeling oddly tingly in response to her smile. Her gloved hands held out a steaming pot of noodles that was emitting a delicious aroma. "You're just a little bit late."
Sorry for the long gap in between updates. I had a bit of writer's block but here's another chapter ^^
