Princess of the Dragon Clan [ Kakashi Hatake X OC Romance ] Book 1 Complete

Chapter 12 Ambush

I woke up to clashing outside of my tent. I opened my eyes and saw the morning sun light hit through my tent. As I came to, the sound of the clanging got louder and more consistent. Without hesitation, I quickly unzipped my tent and poked my head out to see where the loud commotion was coming from. I looked to the left and right and finally caught the source of all the noise. Kakashi was trying to get the pot dishes in my sack from last night. It looked like he was struggling and being loud about it.

            I slowly came out stretching, trying to wake myself up. I was still tired; I think I went to bed too late last night. I don’t regret it at all…being this tired is something I am willing to endure for what I experienced with Kakashi. I saw him still struggling, trying to sort everything out. I walked up behind him and rolled my eyes, coughing loud enough to get his attention.

            He turned around, and once he noticed it was me, he dropped what he was doing. He stood to face me with his hand on the back of his neck.

            “Oh, Isamu…you’re finally awake.”

            I looked past him to see the mess of pots, plates, and some leftover ingredients scattered on the ground. I walked past him, starting to pick everything up. I began placing everything back into the sack. I tied the opening and took the bag, leaning against the nearest tree trunk.

            Kakashi stood there watching me with his hands in his pockets. I stood up as I heard Naruto and Sasuke bickering about who would master my barrier jutsu first. I then heard Sakura yelling at Naruto to shut up. I shook my head with a weary smile.

            “Oh, those kids…they're something, aren’t they.”

            I laughed as Kakashi sighed, nodding his head in agreement.

            “Yes…they are…but they are my team, and they have potential, so I put up with it.”

            I turned to face him with a fake, surprised face, gasping sarcastically.

            “No…you Kakashi? Putting up with obnoxious children? Really?”

            I held my stomach as I started laughing, tears falling down my face. I cracked myself up this time; once the spell passed and I opened my eyes, I saw Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura staring at me.

            Naruto came up, poking me in my side.

            “Hey Sensei, you all right there? You were laughing pretty loud.”

            I nodded as I ruffled his hair a bit.

            “Yes, Naruto, just making fun of Kakashi.”

            I turned around to see his reaction, but he already had his lovely book pulled out, and he was reading. I can’t believe him! Was he ignoring me the entire time?…? I can’t say I am surprised; that is Kakashi for you. I rolled my eyes, looking to Sakura, who caught my gaze and straightened out.

            “Everyone…listen up! We will start packing; I expect everyone to be ready to head out in 15 minutes!”

            Everyone nodded and got to work except…of course, Naruto. He looked at me with piercing eyes and a frown on his face. I stared back, shrugging my shoulders.

            “What’s that look for Naruto?”

            He crossed his arms, pouting for a moment.
