Naru was looking forward to her date with Kakashi.
And as such dressed accordingly in a nice two piece outfit. A pretty pink floral shirt that hugged the curves of her breasts with a matching pink ankel length skirt. She had taken the time to paint her nails, and even style her hair so that it was up off of her nape in a nice twist style.
The look would have been perfect except for one thing...the slightly more noticable rounding of her stomach.
Sighing she folded her hands over her stomach, right over the baby and sat down on the couch and wished that Kakashi had asked her out sooner. Why he would want to be seen with someone in her present condition now of all things, was beyond her.
And that was how Kakashi found her once he was done getting ready for their date.
Sitting on the couch with her hands covering her stomach with a far away look on her pretty face. "What's wrong?" He asked in a soft tone as he shrugged into a nice off grey jacket with sillk lining to match his pants. She looked at him for a moment, her eyes blank, and opened her mouth to speak but then closed it again. Unable to say the words to call off the date.
Especially when Kakashi seemed so set on it that he'd actually pulled out a suit to wear for it.
Narrowing his eyes at her, Kakashi stood there for a moment before growling, "Dammit Naru, talk to me. I don't know what you're thinking if you don't talk to me." Causing her to flinch a bit at his tone. It wasn't often that he got shot tempered with her, but when he did she couldn't help but flinch. For some reason she didn't understand, his tone frightened her.
He frightened her. Just for that second or so then everything went back to normal.
It was silly, she told herself. Silly, and stupid, and irrational to be frightened of Kakashi when he hadn't even raised his voice or acted in a threatening manner.
"Naru?" Kakashi said as he slowly walked over to the couch and knelt down in front of her and took her delicate hands in his and gently pulled them away from her stomach, a small worried frown working it's way across his face.
She looked at him then glanced away for a second as Kakashi asked, "Does your stomach hurt? Is something wrong with the baby?"
She shook her head no and asked, "Why did you wait until now to ask me out on a date?"
Kakashi stared at her, his gaze calculating. This felt like one of those loaded questions/traps that women laid for men so he would have to be very careful in how he answered her. "I didn't think it would be proper to ask before now. What with the baby and the stress you've been under." He finally said as he lifted he hands to his mouth and kissed her knuckles.
"But you know that whoever see's us together today will think the baby is yours-"
"Is that what your worried about?" Kakashi wondered aloud while thinking, Because it was a moot point. Everyone already knew that he was the father of her child.
Naru gave an unladylike snort and muttered, "No."
Kakashi lips curved up in a small smile as he released her hands and reached up to frame her face in his hands and leaned in to kiss her as he muttered, "You are such a liar." As he brushed his lips across hers. Completely unaware of the way her body stiffened for a moment as a fragment of a nightmare slithered through her mind.
She blinked and instead of seeing Kakashi's living room, she saw a small dirt filled cell that smelled rank with blood. There was a small bed against the far corner, under the dim light and she could see chains hanging from the ceiling and hear the sounds of crazed laughter. Then just as quickly as it came, it was gone and Kakashi was looking at her with a concerned look, his face paler than it had been a moment ago as he asked again.
"Are you sure there's nothing wrong with the baby, Naru?"
She blinked again and slowly nodded her head as she forced her body to relax and gave him a slightly forced smile. "Everything is fine-" He looked uncertain and she shook her head. Dear lord the man was a worrier. "Let's go on our date." She said all of a sudden as she all but jumped up and nearly tripped over him in her effort to get to the door.
Kakashi stared at her back feeling a little dumbfounded, he didn't have a good feeling about the way she was acting, but got up and followed her anyways. His need to stay close to her driving him.
