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

Chapter 22 Toad, Dragon, and Fox

            It was the following morning, and when I woke up, I noticed Kakashi wasn’t there. It looked like he left early, so I began to get ready and headed out. I was supposed to meet Sakura and Naruto to go to the hospital. I went to the market square, where I saw Sakura and Naruto bickering like normal. I smiled, raising my hand to greet them.

            “Hello, Naruto and Sakura, good morning!”

            They stopped bickering, and when they looked back at me, they smiled. I saw Naruto rubbing the back of his neck nervously.

            “Isamu Sensei! You made it. Thank you for coming with us! I think Sasuke would be happy to see you too!”

            I rolled my eyes and smiled faintly as I ruffled Naruto’s hair. I haven’t seen Sasuke smile or be happy about…well, anything.

            “I’m happy to see both of you…so if everyone is ready, want to make our way over?”

            Naruto nodded and grabbed my arm, pulling me as he started to walk. I then heard Sakura cry out.

            “Wait, guys! I have to wait for Ino. She said he was going to come with us…”

            I heard Naruto grumble as he let go of my arm. I stood back up and faced Sakura. I looked over and saw Ino walking around; she had a white flower in each of her hands. I saw her walk up to Sakura and hand her one of the flowers. I walked up and put my hands on my hips.

            “Hello girls, what do we have here? Flowers for Sasuke?”

            Sakura looked up at me, and her face got red.

            “Well, yes, but… one is for Lee too.”

            I looked down and realized two flowers were in her hands and two in Ino’s.

The ones I saw must have been bunched together to look like one flower. My gaze went to Ino and her flowers; I saw her eyes immediately dart to the ground as her face turned slightly pink. She grabbed Sakura’s arm and whispered in her ear. I couldn’t determine what she said, but I knew it was about me. My team has gotten used to me…how I look and everything else. Other groups, not so much; the jonin pay no mind, but the younger genin and the younger academy students get intimidated or scared. I tend to see many of them avert their gaze or try not to get close to me. I didn’t pay too much mind to it because if I did, I would be in a much worse state. I just ignored Ino and turned back to face Naruto.

            “Alright, is everyone ready to head to the hospital?”

            I did a glance, and they all nodded their heads at me except for Ino. I did a slight nod as I turned to start walking towards the hospital. I felt Naruto run up to be by my side. He looked up at me momentarily, then back in front of him.

            “I wouldn’t pay Ino much mind Isamu Sensei…she’s just weird and does weird  things...I think she is super annoying, too.”

I smiled and gave a quick giggle before I flicked him softly on the head. I guess I am around Kakashi too much; I’m starting to pick up on his tendencies.

            “Oh, come on, Naruto…that’s not nice to say about Ino…”

            He rubbed his head and looked up at me as I gave him a wink.

            “But thank you. I appreciate you trying to make me feel better…you’re alright, kid.”

            I smiled and patted his shoulder, forcing him closer to my side. I did a side glance and saw his face turn a little pink. The girls behind me were bickering the whole way to the hospital…I could see why he said she was annoying…they are just as bad as Naruto and Sasuke when they are together.
