Chapter: Nine

~

All last night, I tossed and turned in bed thinking of all the things that could go wrong at my meeting with Tsunade. I groaned in frustration as my tense body wouldn't let me relax and drift off into a deep sleep. Hours later, my body couldn't handle the stressing any longer.  I sat up and wiped the sweat that was dripping down the side of my face.  Sighing deeply I looked down at Kakashi who was fast asleep. He looked so warm and comfortable it almost made me jealous he was getting such good sleep, unlike me.  Another sigh slipped through my lips, as I tossed the covers off my legs, waking Mono up from her slumber. 

"Sorry Mono." I whispered lightly after she gave me a small groan. Mono jumped off the foot of the bed and followed me into the backyard. It was still dark outside, the only light being the bright moon that lit up the sky just enough for me to see my way through the garden. The air was thin and crisp, almost felt like a Halloween night. 

"Mono, what are we gonna do." I smiled at the dog who only tilted her head in confusion. Both our heads quickly snapped up as we heard the sliding door rumble open. Kakashi stood there, watching us shirtless... He sighed and walked towards me running his hand through his silver hair. 

"Worried about the meeting." He said half asleep. I let out a small laugh in return and nodded my head lightly. I couldn't help but feel guilty that I woke up Kakashi with my own stress. Especially since he was sleeping so peacefully. "Sorry for waking you up. You can go back to bed now." I said letting my heavy head hang over my lap. A warm hand then wrapped around my lower back, gently rubbing it with ease. 

"Not unless you come back with me." 

"Kakashi, I can't sleep. I don't want to keep you up all night."

 Kakashi sighed and stood up, holding out his hand and pulling my drowsy infused body up off the bench and back inside. "Jasmine tea? He asked as I sat down at the table. 

"Yes, please." 

After Kakashi finished making me tea, he sat down and talked with me until I finished my drink. Not too long after, I passed out on the table and Kakashi carried me back to bed. Only to wake up 4 hours later to get ready for my meeting with the Hokage. 

"Y/n...Y/n wake up you're going to be late." A faint voice said from across the room. I slowly squinted my eyes open to see Kakashi fixing his mask in the body mirror. 

"Hmm." I mumbled, tossing my head back into the feather filled pillow. Kakashi's figure quickly approached me and shook my shoulders gently. "Time to get up sleeping beauty. Don't make me drag you out of bed." I groaned as Kakashi pulled the warm covers off my body. I sighed putting all my body weight to my right side, not realizing how close I was to the edge. I rolled myself over attempting to stand, but before I could plant my feet onto the floor, I fell onto the ground. 

"Fuckkkkk." I whined, slowly standing to my feet. I wobbled my way to the bathroom and turned the shower on. As the water was heating, I grabbed a pair of clothes and locked myself in the steaming bathroom, all while Kakashi stood in the corner watching this playout. 

"Are you gonna be okay in there? 

"Yeah" 

"Alright. See you tonight baby."

My breath hitched in my throat as I heard Tsunade yell inside of her office. I closed my eyes and knocked softly on the door. 

"Come in." 

I slipped through the door, quickly closing it behind me. After observing the room swiftly with my eyes, I recognized all the people in the room. Aoba Yamashiro, Genma Shiranui and Ebisu. "You are dismissed now." Tsunade said narrowing her eyes at me. All of the men turned around and left the room looking unusually distraught. I stepped to the side and let them pass me. 

"Do you know why I wanted to speak with you today?

"No, not really ma'am." I approached her desk and stood up with a straight back. My heart was beating a million miles an hour.  What could she possibly be so upset about. I don't recall doing anything out of the ordinary that would earn her wrath. Tsunade kept her eyes stern on my facial expressions, almost like she was trying to understanding what I was thinking. "Y/n, I'm not surprised you have no idea what I'm talking about." The Hokage sighed in defeat. She bent down and reached into a drawer searching for something. Tsunade pulled out a scroll and tossed it to me. 

"Ma'am?

"Read through this y/n, but promise not to share it with anyone. I'm the only one who knows about this. Me, you and the one who informed me, are the only ones who know, and will ever know. Understand? 

"Y~yes ma'am." I looked down at the scroll, anxious to read it contents. 

"May I ask, Is it bad? 

"You are dismissed now." Tsunade said continuing her paperwork. 

It was now 8 Am and I knew Kakashi wouldn't be home for at least 10 more hours. From what he told me the other night, he would be gone all day on a mission with Guy. Which left me with two choices; sit around home all day or wonder around the village a little. Obviously I couldn't just sit and watch TV all day, so  I stopped at the store and grabbed a few snacks for the river. I thought going down to the river would be a nice way to take my mind off things for the time being. Back when I was living in the village, I would come here all the time as a kid, when I was training. It was nice to come here on a hot day. 

I secured the snacks tightly in my arms as I jumped over to the bolder that was submerged halfway underwater.  I landed gracefully on top and sat down, placing out all the snacks. After a few minutes of snacking and bird watching, I noticed lumps of clay in the shallow water. I stood up and reached down into the water, grabbing a fair amount. I began fondling it and smoothing it out with my hands, making different shapes. After a few hours of playing around in the clay I finished 4 sculptures. The sun would soon be setting, so I decided to head home and start on dinner before Kakashi got home.
