{Kakashi: ....Wimp...}

It's about time you updated! (Rei: O.o... Has it been that long?) YES >.< ! (Rei: O.o... Oopsie?)
[An Interesting Morning]
Warm sunlight washed over your face, waking you only slightly. Mumbling incoherently, you nuzzled up to the warm presence beside you happily.
'Wait...'
Your eyes snapped open, landing on the peacefully sleeping visage of Hatake Kakashi. Surprised, you jerked your head up and looked around. You were, apparently, at his apartment... -In his room...?
A grumbling protest came from Kakashi, his arm that was still positioned securely around your waist tugging you back to his chest. You sighed and gazed around the room as much as you could from your little prison, encircled in Kakashi's arms.
Both of you were still fully clothed, excluding your zori... That was a good sign seeing as you didn't remember anything besides Anako re-challenging you to a Sake drinking contest. After number nine, everything started to get fuzzy and by eleven...
Yeah-
You tried again to free yourself from Kakashi's surprisingly strong hold but found yourself unable to break it.
'What? Was he afraid I'd run away or something? Someone was gonna break in and try and steal me...?'
You held back the chuckle and turned your eyes to Kakashi's face. You needed to wake him up or you'd be stuck like this for a while, not only that but you still had a few things you needed to finish.
"Kakashi?" you called out softly. No response came from the sleeping Jounin. You tried again, this time nudging him when you called his name. Again you received no response. Pulling yourself up as much as you could, you eyed his face, watching for any type of movement. When his eyelids flickered slightly a smirk ran across your face. Oh Kakashi was awake alright... He was just pressing your buttons to see what you would do.
Well, you're pretty damn good at pressing buttons too.
An idea had popped into your head. You knew it was wrong, very wrong but you needed to get up and if the Jounin wasn't going to wake up the old-fashion way then so be it.
Slowly you leaned over so your lips were above his ear and whispered his name, you breath dancing across his skin lightly. You felt the light shiver that resonated from the body beside you and his arm tighten a little more around your waist. You huffed and pulled back, giving the Shinobi a playful glare.
"I know you're awake, Hatake. Now let me go," you said. A smirk slowly formed on Kakashi's face as he opened his eyes but he did not slacken his hold. Instead he brought his free hand (his right) up so his fingertips lightly touched your cheek, tickling you slightly. You stared at him for a moment, a blush rising in your cheeks once again. You glanced off to the side, averting your eyes from him. "Thanks Kakashi," you said softly. "For letting me stay..."
Kakashi chuckled slightly causing you to return your hazel gaze to him. "You can stay when ever you wish, Kira-chan," was the honest reply. You smiled at him, resting your forehead against his gently as his hand moved away from your face and too the back of your neck. Kakashi's head tilted just slightly to the side as he led your lips to his. Your eyes closed as he pulled you closer to him, his arm around your waist tightening. Something wet slid across your bottom lip. Surprised, you pulled back slightly from the Jounin, your cheeks reddening. You hadn't pulled back far, just a hairs-breath away from him. You hadn't expected Kakashi to pull that move...
Below you, a chuckle rose from the shinobi. His hand had moved from your cheek to your shoulder during your earlier actions, now he took the time to slide it back upwards, his two-colored eyes locked onto your hazel ones. Your lips collided again before you even noticed the distance between you close. This time when his tongue ran across your lower lip, you parted them. His tongue darted into your mouth quickly, circling around your own playfully. You suppressed a giggle and nipped his tongue playfully causing the Jounin to grunt. Kakashi pulled you closer when you stated to pull away again, surprising you again. His arm tightened slightly as he twisted himself, pushing you backwards against his futon so he was hovering above you, his lips still locked onto yours.
Your arms moved up and around his neck, holding his upper body to yours. Your stomach fluttered as his hand lifted upwards, allowing his thumb to brush gently across your cheek. In the back of your mind, your conscience was screaming at you, telling you this wasn't going to end well but you pushed it away. However much you hated to agree... You weren't ready for this step but how were you going to get Kakashi to stop? Hell, how were you going to get yourself to stop?!
Kakashi's lips parted from yours as he pushed himself up slightly, his eyes locking with yours. There was something shinning behind those two-toned pools you had never seen before and you couldn't place your finger on it. It wasn't lust, which you had really expected it to be seeing how he was acting (~.~).
Your arms were still wrapped around him and something in you missed the warm embrace Kakashi had you in moments before. "Kakashi, I-" you trailed off staring up at him. The Jounin seemed to sense this almost, as he started to lower his head back towards yours but a sudden loud grumbling stopped him. Kakashi stared at you for a moment, one eyebrow raised. You smiled up at him sheepishly, a sweat drop rolling down the side of your head.
"I'm kinda hungry...."
Hatake stared at you, a mildly dazed look in his eyes as his traitorous and perverted mind decided to translate your words into something else. You stared at him for a moment while his mind played through its dirty little thoughts and sweat dropped again. Trust Kakashi to twist your words around into something else...
Moving carefully, you pulled yourself out from under the Jounin without disturbing him as his mind seemed to wonder through its little fantasy land. You shook your head and walked out of his bedroom, heading for the kitchen to make the one thing you were suddenly craving...
WAFFLES!~
WTF?! >.< You almost made a lemon, but she stopped so she could get WAFFLES?! (Rei: O.o.... Yes?) >.< ! *attacks Rei* (Rei: O.O! *grabs closest thing to her to defend herself* Uh... Beware my *looks at hand* O.o! >.>.... BEWARE MY SPORK! (\/\/) >.< !) ..... *holds up 2x4* (Rei:.... Shit, *throws down spork* I can't compete with that ~.~ *gets brutally beaten by readers*)
You stared at the stove quietly as your breakfast cooked. Kakashi didn't have a waffle iron so you had to settle for pancakes... (>.>) Damn him.
You stretched your arms up and sighed happily. This had been a very interesting morning so far but in the end you knew it would be a sad goodbye. That thought brought your mind down from its perky mood and into a more depressed one. You had kept telling yourself what you had told Kakashi before....
"Think of it as eight weeks... I'll be back before you know it!"
Yeah right... Everyday would be living torture and what was worse was you hadn't told him what you'd be doing while you were gone. He'd probably worry even more. You sighed again, your eyes averting from the stove to the window for a moment. The day had turned rather mucky, fitting your newfound mood almost perfectly.
Outside rain was falling, the sky hazed over gray. In the distance a low boom of thunder sounded but it was too far away to be of any threat. You honestly loved it when it rained, it made you feel... Happy for some odd reason. But today -Today was different, it just sent you mind farther into its little depressed state. Your eyes narrowed sadly as you watched the rain, but nearly rocketed from your skull as two arms were suddenly wrapped around your waist from seemingly nowhere. A low chuckle rose from behind you as the owner of the arms buried their face into the side of your neck.
"Wow, I caught the great Hitori Kira off guard," Kakashi teased, his breath tickling your neck. You squirmed, holding in the soft laugh that had formed in your throat.
"You didn't 'catch me off guard' ... You just, startled me..." you grumbled. Kakashi moved his face so his chin rested on your shoulder enabling him to watch you from the corner of his Sharingan eye.
"Is that so?" he asked lightly, a smirk forming on his lips. You frowned and turned your head so you could glare at him, sticking out your tongue but the Jounin merely ignored you, his eyes on the stove. "What are you cooking?" he asked, bemused.
"Pancakes... Do you realize you don't have a waffle iron?" you asked suddenly, causing the ninja holding you to quirk an eyebrow.
"Well I never needed one... What?!" he asked when you gave him a cynical look.
"You've never made waffles?" you asked suspiciously.
"...No..."
You mouth opened in mock and slightly overly dramatic shock. "What?!" Kakashi chuckled as you stared at him in mock horror. "Well, we'll have to fix that. Remind me when I get back and I'll be sure to make you some!"
Oh, bad time to bring up the whole 'leaving' subject again...
Kakashi's eyes darkened sadly as he watched you, your own expression falling. You turned you head, averting your eyes away from him. It was hard, you'd told yourself you'd never become attached to anyone yet, here you were in the arms of a man you'd known for about 14 years... A friend that had turned into something more.
Kakashi's arms tightened slightly while he rested the side of his head against yours. "Just eight weeks, right?" he asked, sounding skeptical.
"Yeah..." you whispered, sounding as if you were trying to convince yourself. 'What have I gotten myself into?'
That horrid feeling entered the pit of your stomach, guilt for not telling him what would be happening very soon. "Kakashi?" A soft 'hmm' came from beside your ear. You sighed heavily, looking off to the left so he couldn't see your face (his head was resting on your right shoulder). "I have today and tomorrow to get ready..." You could feel Kakashi's eyes on you, waiting for you to continue, though you didn't. You knew he knew what you where going to say. Eight weeks and two days wasn't part of the deal here...
"Can you spend today with me?" he asked you suddenly. You blinked and frowned up at him. Did he not just hear you when you said you had to get ready to go? You had an ass-load of stuff to finish and it would probably take all of those two days to get finished!
"Kak-"
He shook his head lightly against yours, cutting you off. "I'll help you out tomorrow... With everything. I know you need about twenty different arms but at least with me, you'll have four... Right?" You smiled softly but still did not look at him.
"By and by, Kakashi-kun... The day will only pass faster." Silence fell again, but this time a little more awkward. That wasn't really what you had planned on telling him so a nervous tension was building. Kakashi felt this and lifted his head to look at you.
"Kira?" You clenched your jaw and turned in his arms to face him but still averted your eyes. "What's wrong?" the Jounin questioned. You stared at his chest quietly before reaching up and grabbing part of his shirt, still not looking at him.
"I don't want you to worry..." you replied softly. Kakashi started to open his mouth but you quickly shook your head. "During the two months I'll be gone, I'm going to be doing a lot of things..."
"Well yeah... Training Hemitaro and Uta -Why would I worry?"
Again you shook your head, a soft laugh escaping you. "Because of how I'm going to train them." Kakashi frowned as you released the front of his shirt from your grasp and reached into your pocket. Seconds later, he found a strip of paper in his face, names written onto the white sheet.
1) Hinto Jin (lower B-class)
2) Naumi Leto (B-class)
3) Suikoden Kido (B-class)
4) Arch Kon (upper B-class)
5) Michi Lera (lower A-class)
6) Himori Clair (A-class)
7) Flaux Nerko (upper A-class)
8) Rikco Kon (upper A-class/lower S-class)
Realization struck him heavy, his eyes widening slightly as everything snapped into place. Eight names, eight weeks...
"You're-" He cut himself off and looked up from the paper to your eyes. You nodded, giving him a small sad smile.
"We're working from the bottom up..." you said softly, averting your gaze from his.
"Did the Hokage suggest this?" he asked. You returned your eyes to him, mild surprise flashing though the foggy gray. Kakashi's voice sounded cold... Angry. Quickly understanding the mild threat that was there, you shook your head.
"No, I chose to do this," you said staring up at him. "I wanted to see if I could trust them to work with me as a team..."
Kakashi scoffed at your explanation, his eyes darkening. "So you decide to go off and fight rouge ninja? Wow, that's genius," he growled sarcastically. A frown marred your face as you stared up at him. This wasn't the usual Kakashi... He wouldn't act like this.
You pushed against him, trying to get away. "If you don't trust me, then fine," you growled in return. Kakashi stared at you blankly for a moment, his mind finally registering what he'd said without thinking.
"Kira I-..." he paused a looked over your head, earning a questioning glare. Oh you weren't going to look at him straight for the next few hours... Nothing but glares... Yes that would make him feel really bad... *note: sarcasm*
"What?" you asked, your voice coming out slightly more sharp than you wanted it to. Kakashi visibly flinched at the sharpness in your tone but converted back to his usual demeanor.
"Your pancake is burning...."
"Nani?" you turned and stared at the darkening batter in the pan and let loose a string of curses than even surprised the Jounin. He released you long enough for you to snap the burner off and take the pan from the stove. You glared at the contraption, your nose wrinkled up. "Damn thing..." Behind you, Kakashi was chuckling softly, trying to not catch your attention but failing miserably. "What are you laughing at?!" you snapped, still in your pissy mood from before. Kakashi just stared at you, that weird smile on his face again.
"You..."
Yeah, like that was going to help him any...
Your eyes narrowed into a glare. You currently had two options: One, you could leave or Two you could punch him. One probably wouldn't be happening anytime soon with him standing there and besides....
Your second option sounded so much better...
Rest in Results.... xD Kawaii picture of Kakashi there as well!
Hatake let out a loud yelp as your fist connected with his shoulder, earning you a glare from the Jounin.
"What was that for?" he pouted, rubbing his throbbing shoulder.
"For being a jackass and laughing at me," you growled. You paused, your frown returning. "And would you stop smirking at me like that?!" you huffed angrily. Kakashi chuckled and snaked his arm around your waist, pulling you to him and ignoring the angry snarl that was aimed at him.
"Well, this has been a rather interesting morning... Wouldn't you say?" he asked, smiling down at you.
You stared up at him for a moment, the edge of your anger worn away. "Your impossible... You know that?" you question, a smile slowly appearing on your face. He returned it with a smirk.
"Yeah..."
Chapter 28- A Day With Hatake, A Day I'll Never Forget
"Where are we going?"
"You'll see..."
"I don't like surprises, Hatake..."
----
"B-but I don't know how to..."
"C'mon, it's not that hard!"
"I can't help it! I've never done anything like this before!"
----
"So... I guess this is goodbye..."
"Never goodbye.."
----
"Kira... I-"
(Rei: OMG, don't you just love suspense?)
{Kakashi: ....No?}
(Rei: ~.~... You already know what's going to happen in the next one Hatake-kun)
{Kakashi: I know, but really.... Do you have to give away little hints like that? I mean c'mon, that's kinda cruel... Oh, wait...}
(Rei: o.O... >:3 You forgot who you were talking to again, didn't you...)
{Kakashi: .... Yes...}
(Rei: X3 I am the master of ALL that is Evil!)
{Kakashi: O.o! You're Satan?}
(Rei: WTF? No, you retard... ~.~ But you flatter me... ^///^)
{Kakashi: o.o... No comment...}
