Chapter 7- The Mission

Before Kakashi and Neko reached the small village they changed clothes. Kakashi kept his mask but replaced his forehead protector with a patch over his eye. He combed down his normal spiky hair. Then they continued towards the village. Neko moved closer to Kakashi

"Are you ready?" She mumbled to him

He smiled down at her

"Ready and Set" he replied

As they passed through the gates Neko slipped her hand into his and moved even closer to him

"Shall I pick a name for you?" she asked

Kakashi laughed "Sure did you have one in mind?"

Neko smiled "You'll see" she replied.

They wandered through the village to the middle where they found a hotel to make their home base, they entered and approached the concierge.

"Hello and welcome to Honeymoon Paradise do you have a registration?"

"No I'm sorry" Neko said "we sure don't"

"Oh that's ok we have availability is this your 1st time here"

"Why yes it is" Neko said "Kumori and I were married yesterday and well I so wanted to come"

Kakashi laughed "and I can't say no to my pet"

:Oh My well congratulations and welcome let's get you checked in Names Please"

"Kumori and Neko Kuro", Neko said as she leaned back against Kakashi's chest he placed his hands on her waist and squeezed slightly

"Well then here you go our best honeymoon suite, Room E36 here are the keys enjoy your stay and if there is anything I can do for you please let me know"

"Thank You" Neko said as Kakashi took the keys "as a matter of fact do you recommend any restaurants?"

"Oh yes KIKI Mona is a great one very romantic"

"Thanks" Kakashi said as he swept Neko up into his arms "room 1st my pet" he said as he headed towards the stairs.

Neko laughed as she clung to his neck- Kakashi carried her all the way into their room and deposited her on the other side, she winked at him as they did a sweep of the room looking for any bugs or devices. Once they found the room to be clear of interference they sat to plan their next move.

Kakashi smiled at her "I hope I wasn't going to far there" he said to her

Neko laughed "no you were perfect, we have to act like newlyweds"

Kakashi nodded, "I'm game" he replied

Neko grinned and thought we shall see.

They spent the rest of the day exploring the village taking in the sites. At one point Neko stretched up to kiss Kakashi on the cheek as her lips brushed him she whispered, "We're being watched"

He smiled down at her and nodded slightly then he put his arms around her and kissed the top of her head

"Found them" he mumbled

Neko squeezed his side in acknowledgement- They eventually ate at a small café and returned to their room where they once again swept for bugs. They discussed who they both saw following them and both agreed that they were a target.

"I am slightly concerned that they are going to come check on us" Neko told Kakashi as they sat facing each other

"I was thinking that as well" he replied "do you have something in mind?"

"Sleeping arrangements"

"What?"

"We have to share a bed, I don't know about you but I sleep pretty lightly, we can take shifts but we both need to be in bed keeping up appearances just incase"

And they were right around 3AM Neko heard a noise, she rolled over and placed her head on Kakashi's chest her hand resting on his stomach, his arm came down around her back letting her know that he too was wide awake. They watched as a pair of people stole into the room and silently went through their things. The pair of en quietly moved towards the bed and looked down at the couple, one made hand gestures to the other and they left as quietly as they came. Both Kakashi and Neko were up and following them all the way back to KIKI Mona. Kakashi motioned to Neko and they moved closer to look in a back window where they marked both men. Then they went back to their room. Neko stretched

"Well I think we know who was following us, We know why, now we just have to figure out who sent them and I think I have an idea as to whom that it, we just need proof, she yawned, I am going back to bed for a few hours, care to join me?"

Kakashi grinned at her as he slipped into bed next to her, she didn't have to ask him twice.

When they woke the next morning Neko was curled against Kakashi her head rest on the crook of his shoulder, her arm wrapped around his cheat, her breath warm against his neck. Neko's whole body jerked and Kakashi tightened his grip on her; She was fully awake and realized how she was draped across him

"Morning" he said to her as he stroked her back

"Morning" she replied she stretched beside him and slid away, "Kakashi, I am so sorry, I didn't realize that I invaded your space last night"

He laughed at her as he too stretched and sat up

"I had no problem; in fact I slept very well."

Neko smiled back at him, "so did I actually," then she grinned "what would you like to do today?"

"Hum, well I could really use some sun, how about spending some time at the beach?"

"That sounds wonderful, I could use a vacation."

Kakashi chuckled, "so could I and seeing as we have an entire day why not use it?"

Neko laughed "to the beach then"

They left the room waved at the concierge and strolled down towards the beach where they spent the morning swimming and relaxing in the sand. By noon they were both hungry so they stopped at another café for a quick bite to eat, then they went shopping which was a new experience for the both of them, Neko found a bookstore and they went in where they both found an Icha Icha book that they did not have, giggling they bought them.

Within the next hour both Kakashi and Neko were reading their books together. Kakashi had his back against a tree with Neko sitting between his legs using his chest as a back rest as they read their books.

"We're being watched again" Neko said softly

"Yes one is at 2 O'clock and the other at 11"

"I see them, I think tonight we should check out Kiki Mona's" she turned so that she was on her knees facing Kakashi her face close to his "I'll have to prepare and only one of us should eat or drink anything that they bring us on house"

She leaned forward a few more inches and let her lips brush his

"Agreed" he replied. Slightly surprised that she had kissed him. Then he said, "You know your perfect"

Neko laughed as she resettled in his arms "Only to you" she replied as she continued to read her book they stayed that way for a few more hours before they returned to their room. Neko prepared a concoction to take in the case that she was slipped something to knock her out they showered and left to go to the restaurant.

As they were seated both of them glanced around to the other couples, not seeing anything amiss Kakashi reached across the table and took Nekos hand as their waiter arrived at the table He suggested the house special to them

"That sounds lovely" Neko said "Kumori you?" She slightly moved her fingers in his hand

"Well I am really in the mood for some eggplant" he said

Neko didn't miss the disappointment that flickered across the waiters face

"Good choice sir, I'll be right back with your complementary drinks"

"Thank You" Neko said then turned her attention back to Kakashi "Now my darling you were telling me about the new filtration system that we needed for the farm?"

He leaned forward squeezing her fingers "Oh yes, of course my pet how silly of me to forget"

The waiter nodded and moved away- those few words spoken between the two said a lot, Kakashi knew that he would not be drinking anything brought to the table and he would mimic the way Neko acted in the chance that she was drugged.

They made idiotic small talk until the food arrived

"Oh this looks good," Neko said as she took a bite, "mmmm please give my compliments to the chef"

The waiter smiled and walked away- after the 3rd bite Neko started to see double, she took a sip of the drink and shook her head

"Don't eat" she whispered to Kakashi

He had already noticed that Neko didn't look right as she slipped out of her chair to the floor, he mimicked her and waited. Within a few moments they were picked up and carried back to their hotel room, where they were placed on the bed and their stuff ransacked. When the men went to put their hands on Neko Kakashi appeared between them and her.

"I don't think so" he said before he started to whip the two of them

Neko began to laugh as she watched them from the bed. She gracefully leaped up performed a few hand signs and subdued one of the men while Kakashi handled the other. She started to sway a bit and Kakashi caught her checking her face

"Are you alright?" he asked concerned as he saw she was still a bit flushed

Neko smiled "heads a bit woozy but I believe I am alright," she reached up and placed her hand on his cheek "Thank You" she said with a smile

"What the hell?!" One of the guys yelled and tried to lunge at them- Kakashi pulled Neko behind him standing in a protective stance he pulled his patch off and used his Sharingan on the guy. They found out who was robbing the people who visited, who was doing the raping and before evening was out Kakashi had exacted revenge on them- they turned their two captives into the proper authorities and by next morning were on their way back to the Hidden Leaf.

The entire time they walked Kakashi kept an eye on Neko- she still didn't look right from the dinner she ate the previous night. As they got closer to home Neko slowed. Ten miles out she came to a stop.

"Neko?" Kakashi questioned

She looked up at him at the 6 versions of him before she stumbled

"Get me to Tsunade Kakashi please" she whispered handing him a vial of liquid before she passed out. Kakashi caught her in his arms and he began to run.
