It's been a few days since you arrived at the leaf village. All you could say was everything seemed to go smoothly. You woke up every morning, went to work, ate, and went to bed. You just focused on your duties. Or so you thought.
"A day off? Sora-san I assure you I don't need a-"
"Save it! Look everyone needs a day off. Quite being such a workaholic and go live life. You have shown us tremendous work thus far and thanks to you we are half way to completing the new antigen. As thanks, Tsunade-sama, is giving you the day off. So be grateful."
"Fine."
You hesitantly bow your head and leave the premises. You burrowed your hands deep into your pockets and stood outside the hospital gates. Closing your eyes and inhaling the fresh morning dew. You decide to explore the leaf village and try to take it easy. Looking toward the horizon you see young kids running around playing tag. It so calming here you thought.
"Hey! Y/n-san! Is that you?!"
"Naruto don't run off!" a feminine voice shouts.
You watch Naruto bolt towards you making you shake your head. Today might be a little hectic.
"What's up Naruto?"
"Nothing. Just got done with some crazy training exercises, Dattebayo!"
You squinted your eyes toward the other figures and notice Kakashi reading the same orange book from before.
"Is that so?"
"mmmhmm, Watcha doing?!"
"Oh me? Enjoying my day off. Now it was nice talking to you but-"
"Hey! Let's go get something to eat!"
"That doesn't sound like a bad idea, Naruto." Kakashi replied.
You looked at him suspiciously and he ended up brushing it off. Something just wasn't right about it. Not too long ago he interrogated you like a criminal. It just didn't sit right inside. This man made you feel sea sick. But, it was your job to find out more intel about him. So, you push back your feelings and put on a smile.
"Yeah, sure. That's fine with me."
You look over at Kakashi who's looks off to the side. He pulls up his mask and places his book back into his vest pocket.
"Great, Let's go!"
Naruto pulled you along in front of the others. He laughed the whole way to the BBQ joint. You all sit down at the table and place the order.
"So, medical research huh?" Kakashi asks breaking the silence.
"Yeah?"
You could have sworn you didn't tell him about why you came here. Did Naruto say something? No that wasn't it.
"Interesting."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
You glared right into Kakashi eyes. He placed his head against his right palm. Waving the other through the air.
"Oh nothing."
You raised your eyebrow at this comment. You continued to sit in silence while the young teens chatted away. Your only hope was waiting for the food to arrive so you could leave.
"Can I ask you something?" Kakashi asked breaking the silence once more.
"Only if I get to ask you something in return."
Kakashi looked directly at you and then back down at the table. You watched him tap his chopsticks against the table.
"Deal."
You leaned forward and laced your fingers together. Kakashi followed and let out a short breathe to ease his nerves. You could hear his heart beat out of his chest.
"Do you have anyone special in your life?"
You sat there in utter belief. Why would he care for information like that?
"Wow, real smooth sensei." the pink-headed girl stated making Kakashi pinch the bridge of his nose.
"I guess you could say that. He's a very close friend of mine."
Kakashi tensed up and his blood ran cold. He leaned back and looked out the window to calm the new surge of emotions he felt.
"I think Sensei just got rejected."
"Sssh Naruto, be quiet."
"You all are idiots."
You watch the teens gossip away and you shook your head in frustration. You brought your attention back toward Kakashi. You couldn't tell what he was thinking but, deep down it wasn't good. You eventually got your food and payed for the table. Finally now on your own you took a sigh of relief.
"I can't wait to go home." You said out loud.
A sudden breeze swept across your body making tiny bumps appear on your s/c skin. You felt the same sensation from before. They feeling of being followed. You turn around and watch the leaves dance in the wind. Making it seem like you made it all up. But, indeed behind you darkness followed and waits for the opportunity to seal his mark on you.
