Kakashi and I have been coming to this training ground to pass our time lately. He barely trains. He's always indulged in his damn icha icha book, but hey, how can I say no to his company?

It's been almost two months since the war ended. Everything is slowly settling down. The constructions are still going on in Konoha, but we're at peace.

There haven't been much missions lately, so the injured ones are taking their good time to heal, and the ones who aren't, well, they're probably doing the same thing as I am right now!

I feel my chakra levels starting to drain, and I can barely hold my katana up without my hand shaking. Well, to be fair, I have been training since afternoon, and it's seven now..

"Ina." Yeah, he's called me that ever since I was little,

"Ina, you're overdoing it again. Let's get you home, come on," He said, closing his book and walking over to me.

"This is nothing, I am as powerful as a tsunami, I can go on for longer, you know,"

I give him a silly smile, in response to which he flicks my forehead. He does that every time I give him a goofy smile, for some reason.

He turns around and bends a little;
"Hop on then, little tsunami, let's flood home now. It's almost dinnertime."

"Oh my God, you're so funny, I just can't stop laughing!" I roll my eyes, but get on his back anyways, because I actually felt my legs weaken.

I hate how he's always right.. but I secretly enjoy it.

When we reach my apartment, he unlocks the door and puts me down after entering. I tumble on my feet a little, but he catches me.

He helps me sit down and brings a glass of water from the kitchen, which I drink in a gulp. Feeling refreshed, I try to get up again, only to feel my body go numb for a while.

I was about to fall on my face, but Kakashi caught me again.

"Clumsy, clumsy." He suddenly picks me up bridal style and takes me to my room. For a second, I don't realise what's happening; he can not give me butterflies like this out of the blue!

He lays me down on my bed and takes my shoes and shinobi headband off, putting them to the side.

He takes my hand and pulls me in a sitting position at the corner of my bed. What the fuck is happening?

"Let me help you take your jacket off, then you can rest in comfort, Ina"

I let him do that, and he again helps me lay back down, before neatly hanging my uniform jacket vest on the door hook.

I rest my eyes and regulate my breathing for 15 minutes, when my stomach rumbles with hunger.

"Kakashi!"

"You're hungry aren't you?" He says, laughing a little, while entering my room again.

"What do you want to have? I called everybody over, so they should be here in about twenty minutes."

I grin, "How about some good ice cream?"

"No way you're having that before dinner plus you had an entire tub of it yesterday, Ina."

"But-"

"How about teriyaki and tempura? I know you love them, " He said, taking off his mask.

My mouth kind of drools.. partly because of the food, maybe partly because of him?

He ruffles my hair and walks to the kitchen. I decided to go shower, but I remember something;

A huge pile of soiled undone laundry was resting in the corner of my room. I didn't own many clothes, so all of them were dirty and I had nothing else to wear except my black silky shorts.
