Love Like A Medicine(Kakashi X Reader)

-47-

You'd been standing outside a quite luxurious inn for at least thirty minutes now.

The Prince and Princess were apparently up in their suite still packing up their things.

Well, atleast, that's what you'd last heard.

"Ugh, come on. What are they doing? Trying to find a lost personality? Why're they taking so long? Even Kakashi-Sensei would've made it here by now." Naruto whined.

Sasuke grunted, almost letting out a chuckle.

"Don't give Kakashi-Senseicredit where it definitely isn't due."

"I'm only late because I take time to take in my surroundings and notice the little things. That's the way of the Ninja."

You chuckled. Sure he did.

"Oh my gosh, I cannot believe we've started supported lying in this group!! We all know damn-"

You have a sharp look.

"Dang well that the only surroundings you take in are the pale pages of that soft core porno that Grandpa Jiraiya writes."

"Naruto!!" Sakura said, shoving said boy. However, Kakashi just chuckled and messed with the boys hair, causing him to flinch in annoyance and retaliate.

You, however, zoned out...How couldn't you? Because what you saw, shocked you.

They were just as pretty as the pictures..Maybe even prettier.

Their ruby hair shined in the sun, eyes like emeralds against their sun kissed skin. They were a sight to behold.

The Prince and Princess.

You shivered, suddenly getting a feeling of impending doom, much like when you'd met Saki and your "beloved" cousin.

It lasted only for a moment, but a moment was enough for goosebumps to climb down your arms in rippling unease.

You sighed as you were pulled back to reality.

The Princess stepped forward with a shining pearly smile, hands on her hips.

"I'm Akira, and this is my brother Akiyo. We're from the Hidden Mist. We brought our servant, hop you don't mind."

A small brunette with shoulder length hair and orangish-brown eyes gave a small 'hi' trying to hold up the bags in her arms.

After introducing yourself and your team, you began your journey.

You had no idea why earlier you had felt in edge.

For once, the people you were with were pretty cool. They weren't snobbish and stuck up, atleast for royalty, and they were pretty easy to talk to. Although Akira did more talking than Akiyo.

You guessed that maybe your unease was due to the past experiences you'd had. And now you feared history repeating itself. Which, was sad considering you'd dedicated to living your life as a ninja, but now you'd be more on edge during the job...

-*-

The sun had almost set and you all had stopped and set up a small camp. It was different from your usual inn staying experience, and you fretted it would be a bit uncouth for royalty, but Akira and Akiyo surprised you yet again. They apparently loved to camp.

So when you finally finished cooking dinner(well, Jiraiya had), you sat around some campfire chatting.

"Alright, alright, enough about us, really, I wanna know about you." The princess said, turning to face you with a cheeky smile. Her hands where on her interlocked fingers and stray hair framed her face.

"U-uh...Me? Well there isn't much to say...I'm a Ninja, haha obviously, and a Sensei for these unruly children you see here." You laughed.

The princess smiled.

"Oh come one. Isn't there anything else to know about you? Any boyfriends?"

The Prince seemed to perk up at this question and listen more attentively to your answer.

"Well.." You smiled as Kakashi took your hand.

"Kakashi and I are together." You gave a smile to your jonin and he gave a close eyes one back behind the mask.

The princess gave a look of surprise.

"You're truly together, like a couple..? Interesting."

You nodded happily as the conversation continued.

You should've known.

-*-

"Are you sure you don't need anything?" You asked one last time as the camp settled down for the night.

"Promise! Don't worry. Rikoji should be around here somewhere if we need anything. If something comes up, we'll holler." The princess gave a thumbs up as reassurance.

You were surprised their servant wasn't around, but the silent girl had probably just gone off to get some air.

"Well alright then, we'll be here." You turned away and made your way towards your own tent.

Jiraiya was sitting under a nearby tree, keeping watch for the night.

You bid the man a smile.

"Good night smooth thighs."

"Same to you gramps."

He rolled his eyes, but the smile on his lips suddenly turned downwards as he immediately stood up, alert.

However, it was only the servant of the Prince and Princess emerging from the woods and heading back towards their tent.

She didn't say a word passing Jiraiya who wished her a goodnight, but she stopped to stare at you briefly.

She then walked past you and towards the tent.

You raised a brow, but shrugged. People were weird these days.

Jiraiya eyed you as you passed him to get to your tent.

"(Y/N)...." He grabbed your arm, stopping you.

"Hm...?"

He looked from you to Rikoji and back at you.

"Nothing...Goodnight."

"Goodnight." You said.

'Weirdo' you chuckled to yourself as you climbed into your tent to find Kakashi waiting for you, Icha Icha in hand.

"What's so funny?"

"Jiraiya's being a Jiraiya is all." You smiled.

The Copy Cat Ninja gave you a swift kiss on the head before pulling you in close.

"We should get some rest, we have a bit of a long journey ahead of us."

Well he was right about one thing. You were about to go on a long  journey.

(A/N: Hey my darlings. Grandma here. If I don't post next week. It's because the government in the country I'm in decided to open school this week on Thursday, spontaneously. And we have exams coming up. Studying abroad is hard y'all🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️. I miss The US😭. Anyways, I'm a crammer type person, so  when I study, I really don't do anything else except that so I can pass.
