You're It For Me (Kakashi Hatake love)

Chapter 10: Men

I had been lying in bed watching Kakashi sleep. 'It feels so surreal... Like I'm dreaming...' I thought as I watched the morning sun dance across my best friend's handsome face. 'We still have to talk about this... but I'm scared to.. what if he doesn't actually like me that way? He obviously likes me enough to have sex but that doesn't take much... I should know I slept with Itachi without any other feelings than attraction... Would I stay if he doesn't?... I don't know...' At the sharp pain my thoughts caused I got up and decided to make breakfast. 'Naruto should be back any day now.. maybe I'll go clean his apartment and get some groceries...'

A pair of strong arms encircled my waist from behind. "Mmm smells good." Kakashi said burying his face into my neck. I couldn't help but smile as all my thoughts from this morning were instantly forgotten. "The food smells good too." He said chuckling making me blush. "Youre in a good mood this morning." I said as I set our plates down. "It would be hard to be in a bad mood after last night." He replied. Before I could respond the Hokage's hawk flew by summoning Kakashi. He sighed "Duty calls." He kissed my temple as he started out of the kitchen "I'll be back later, then maybe we can go out today?" He asked. I nodded then remembered my plans to go to Naruto's "Oh I was going to go clean up Naruto's and maybe get him some groceries... Then head over to Sasuke's and make sure he has things for when he comes home... He has probably grown a foot by now..." Kakashi turned and gave me a soft look "Emiko... maybe you should wait to go over to Sasuke's... At least until we know Naruto has him." I looked at him like he was crazy causing him to chuckle "Alright, alright just don't overdo it okay?" I nodded my response and watched he him leave.

As I walked into Naruto's apartment I couldn't help but shake my head at the mess. There was instant Raman cups, cloths and weapons everywhere. 'Naruto..' I sighed shaking my head as I started cleaning. I smiled as I saw a picture of me and a little 9-year-old Naruto at the park 'Those were good times' I thought as I remembered the sweet little blonde who always wanted to play ninja and hold my hand. I noticed his picture of team 7 had a crack in the frame 'Humm I'll pick up a new frame while I am grocery shopping..' I grabbed up Naruto's laundry and started over to Sasuke's.

I was standing in front of Sasuke's door for what seemed like forever 'Sasuke... I miss you.. I'm so sorry I was gone when you obviously needed me.. Maybe if I had stayed you would still be here..' I let out a heavy sigh and let myself in. Nothing was out of place, which wasn't surprising for the young Uchiha, so I just dusted and put some fresh sheets on his bed. As I moved into the bathroom I saw a note taped to the mirror.

Dear Oneesan,

Don't blame yourself.

Sasuke

It was short but his use of Oneesan and the fact that he cared enough to leave me a note warmed my heart. I grabbed the note and held it to my chest 'Big sister.... He called me sister...' I slid to the floor and started to cry. I remember the first day he called me that. He was 8 years old and had gotten sick so I stayed with him to make sure he took his medicine. I made him soup, ran my fingers through his hair, tucked him in, took his temperature and when night fell I slept on the couch in case he needed me. After that he would always call me Oneesan...

I gathered myself and made my way out the door 'Its okay.. he is coming home soon..' I thought as I made my way home to start Naruto's laundry, once I had his laundry started I walked to the village to go grocery shopping. "That sure is a lot Emiko, do you need help carrying all that." Asuma asked. "Oh, uh no I'm fine. I was just getting things for Naruto and Sasuke for when they get home." I said smiling. Asuma looked at me kind of shocked but quickly recovered and took some bags "Here.. let me help." I smiled. "Okay, we have to go to Sasuke's first because his favorite ice cream will melt." Asuma nodded and motioned for me to lead the way.
