Hello to all of my readers! I hope everyone is still enjoying the story. I fixed the spelling errors in the last chapter, because it was bugging me. My brain thinks fast than my fingers can type. oh, well. I shall continue to write while jamming out to music. :)

Sparring Interrupted

Days later…

I woke up to the sun shining in again. As I sat up, I noticed a pink rose by my pillow. I grinned about that I was finding roses when I woke up. I got dressed in my onmitsukidō outfit, put on my necklace and put the rose in my hair. Then I went to get breakfast. I saw Nesha and Soifon eating at the table.

"Mornin' Yoruichi." Nesha smiled as she handed me a plate of food. "I see that you have a new rose color today."

"I'm amused at which colors I find in the morning. I feel like I have known Kakashi for a long time." I said as I sat down.

"Found your soul mate then?" she asked. I raised my eyebrow at the thought.

"Maybe I did. We do have a lot in common. Anyway, where are the guys?" I asked in between bites.

"They are at the training area sparring. Why?" she said eyeing me with curiosity.

"Lil' bee, I think you and I should go sparring. Maybe we can challenge the guys." I gave a sly grin.

"I'll have to come and watch this." Hikaru said as she entered from the doorway.

After we were done eating we headed to the training area at the edge of the forest. We heard yelling and clashing of metal. When we got there we found Hiashi and Hizashi sparring.

"Hi guys! I hope that you don't mind having an audience." Nesha called out as we got closer.

"I don't mind." Hiashi said as they stopped.

"Actually, I would like to spar against Soifon if she would like to." Hizashi said as he joined the group.

I nodded as Soifon grinned. Hiashi joined me near the sides on a bench as Soifon stood opposite of Hizashi.

"So, how are things with Kakashi?" Hikaru inquired as we watched Hizashi take a couple of hits from Soifon.

"I dunno." I started. "Like I told Nesha, we have a lot in common with what we do. Minato told me that Kakashi likes to read a lot. Tsunade said he's a very top notch ninja and many listen to his opinions. I don't have to say much to him, but just being with him is satisfying. It's almost like we have met before but I don't think we have."

We saw Soifon get thrown into a tree, but she quickly rebounded and threw some kidō spells at Hizashi. I was amazed on how well Hizashi kept up with Soifon. We felt the rush from an impact on the ground. When the dust cleared we noticed Hizashi on the ground and Soifon breathing heavily. Hikaru leaned over to me and whispered in my ear. I glanced at her with an eyebrow raised and nodded.

"All right you two go rest. I'm gonna have a turn." I announced as I got up and walked towards them. They looked at me confused as they got up and joined Hikaru and Hiashi on the side. I closed my eyes as I concentrated. I opened my eyes and gave them a sly grin.

"Kakashi, please join me." I whispered. The wind blew past me as he appeared in front of me.

"Interesting in sparring me, princess?" he asked. I could tell he was grinning.

"I want to see your skills for myself. I want to see if you would truly be a worthy bodyguard." I taunted.

"Just my skills or is there something more?" he teased as my face redden.

"I guess we'll have to find out. I already know that you're good at dancing." I cooed. He lifted his headband a bit and I noticed the scar over his left eye. I tilted my head to the side, giving him a curious look. How did I not notice that a couple of nights ago?

"If you want to find out more, you'll have to take my headband." he challenged. I smiled back sheepishly.

"You're on!" I grinned.

He started with his shadow clones as I shunpo away into the forest, before he had a chance to charge at me. I landed on a branch, a distance away and waited for him. I snickered when I sensed him. I pulled out my wakizashi and deflected his kunais. I caught one kunai and threw it back in his direction. At one point, our swords met in a short duel. He was quite good with a sword to my surprise. I threw some kidō at him and I knew that he couldn't copy it.

"So what's going on?" asked Kushina to Nesha as she and Minato approached the group.

"Yoruichi challenged Kakashi to a sparring match." she replied.

"Oh, this is going to be good." Minato smirked. "Hopefully Jiraiya isn't around to see this."

"Do we need to take bets on who will win?" Nesha suggested.

Everyone looked at each other. "Yoruichi."

"Poor Kakashi." laughed Minato.

I took out one of his clones by knocking it into a tree and I shunpo from the sight. I saw him coming with his hand glowing. I managed to use shunkō against his chidori, but it seemed that they practically canceled each other out. Before the dust cleared, I was off in a different direction.

"Nice try." I gloated as I shunpo away. He tried a water style jutsu after me, but I deflected it back at him and sent him flying. I giggled at the sight.

"Good one Yoruichi!" yelled Kushina. I didn't realize that she and Minato had joined the group.

After a good distance away, I decided to try a different tactic and transformed into a cat. I jumped to the closest branch and watched as another one of his clones came by. I jumped down onto it and landed on its head. I had distracted it as it crashed into a tree and disappeared. I jumped around from branch to branch. When the real one came in view, I watched what happened. He took out a book, sat down and started to read. I jumped down to the ground and walked towards him.

"I see that I have a visitor." he said as I crawled into his lap as he raised his headband more.

"Yes, you do." I said as I transformed from a cat back into my normal form (with clothes on). Kakashi fell over as I pinned him to the ground. I pulled off his headband and grinned. I could see his eyes get huge as I pulled down his mask. His face reddens as I leaned in and kissed his cheek.

"Thank you for the roses my dear bodyguard." I whispered in his ear. "I think I should keep you around."

I kissed his lips as I felt his arms wrapping around me, pulling me closer to deepen the kiss. He grinned, as we pulled apart.

"Sorry about the distraction, but would you like to keep with the sparring or reading your book?" I purred in his ear.

"I would prefer if you didn't stop." came a different voice. We looked up and saw Jiraiya looking down at us.

"Jiraiya! I'll get you for this!" I yelled as I got up and took off after the laughing fool. I still had Kakashi's headband in my hand and I'm sure he had a confused look on his face as I left him behind.

"Sounds like Jiraiya interrupted something." Nesha grinned as she pointed at Kakashi. He walked out from the trees pulling up his mask as he ran his fingers through his hair trying to somewhat straighten it out.

"Kakashi, you're missing something." Hikaru teased as she pointed to his head.

"I guess I lost then." he said quietly. Minato raised an eyebrow at him.

"Loose or give in?" Kushina teased more. The rest of the group started to laugh.

"You better be good to Lady Yoruichi or you'll have to deal with me." Soifon threatened.

"Soifon, you have my word." Kakashi said as he rolled his eyes. "I have no intention on hurting her."

I joined the group moments later. I was furious to Jiraiya spying on me again, let alone when I was with Kakashi. I just hoped that it didn't get into one of his books.

"You alright Yoruichi?" Kushina asked seeing how furious I was.

"I'm fine, I just had to beat something into Jiraiya." I growled.

"You could always have Tsunade knock some sense into him too." Nesha snickered.

"I think I'm done sparring for the moment." I said without looking at anyone. "I'll be back."

I shunpo away before anyone could object. I hid my spiritual pressure so no one could follow me. I went to Kikyō Castle. I felt a bit hurt that Jiraiya is always trying to spy on me at the most vulnerable moment. My mind kept going back to those kisses. How sweet and gentle they were. I felt my face flush at the memory. I sat down on top of the roof and looked out at the surroundings. Kakashi had a handsome face hidden under that mask. I took his headband and tied it around my left arm.

I took out the rose from my hair to admire it. I smiled weakly as I felt a tear escape down my cheek. The sun was starting to set and I tried to focus my mind somewhere else. I felt a breeze pass me.

"Don't be sad my princess." came a voice next to me. I looked to my left with wide eyes as another tear escaped. He put his hand against my face and wiped the tear from my cheek.

"Kashi" I whispered.

"Don't let Jiraiya rattle you." he said gently as he pulled me close to him. "I know you don't want many to see you like this, princess, but at least let me."

"How did you find me?" I asked as I looked at his eyes.

"That is my secret." he grinned as he pulled his mask down. I reached out and traced the scar on his face. "Someday, I'll tell you that story."

I smiled as I rested my head on his shoulder. I thought came to me and I pulled away from Kakashi. I noticed the curiosity in his eyes.

"I think that my bodyguard needs something." I grinned as I took off my silver necklace and put it around his neck. "It's my family crest, this way no on can give you a hard time about being around me."

"It is an honor." he smiled as he leaned in and kissed me. I felt my heart flutter and my cheeks flush as we pulled apart.

"Kashi, why do I have this feeling that I have known you for a lot longer than I have?" I asked. I saw him thinking for a moment.

"Maybe we have crossed before in a previous life?" he suggested. My eyes grew wide at the thought.

"Who knows, maybe we have." I agreed. "Is that why I feel so comfortable around you?"

"Maybe, princess, maybe." he grinned as he pulled me back to him. I don't know how long we sat there in silence. The stars were out and the way Konoha lit up was breathtaking.
