Chapter 5 - Preparations

Hinata's eyes opened slowly, sitting up groggily, she looked around the room and noticed it was still early. She stood up and grabbed a towel, walking out of her room she walked down the hallway and into the bathroom. Shutting the door and locking it, Hinata turned on the shower and began stripping. She quickly stepped into the shower and began washing her hair, she thought about the war, about how everyone at home was doing.

'Do they miss me at all? I hope I haven't made anyone worry, I miss you... Tenten, Neji-nii-san, Naruto.'

Hinata sighed and turned off the water, she stepped out of the shower and wrapped her towl around herself. Only then did she realize, she forgot her clothes in her room.

'Oh come on Hinata! This is so cliche!'

Hinata sighed and activated her Byakugan, making sure Kakashi was still in bed she deactivated her doujutsu and unlocked the door and ran down the hallway towards her room. Before she knew it she had slammed into something.

'Not something... SOMEONE!'

Hinata looked up and found herself straddling Kakashi, her face was so red it could complete with a tomato. Hinata's hands her pressed on Kakashi's chest and she straddled his waist, luckily her towel had stayed on her body, but had become loose, Hinata grabbed her towel and tried to tighten it. Kakashi's hands gripped her hips.

"Are you alright Hinata?" His voice was husky and strained, Hinata nodded slowly, her face reddening more. "I-I'm fine... But there's something poking my leg..." Kakashi cursed his traitorous body, and quickly stood up, bringing Hinata up with him. Unfortunately, his hips brushed against hers in process, Kakashi bit back a groan and rushed into the bathroom, taking a cold, cold shower.

Hinata quickly walked back to her room and changed, her face still red, she went into the kitchen and decided to make Kakashi breakfast as an apology. She made some simple eggs and bacon and set a place for Kakashi, she grabbed some paper and wrote a quick note. Hinata then walked out the front door to the weapons shop, she needed to sharpen hers, she needed to prepare.

With Kakashi

Kakashi stepped out of the shower and sighed, this morning's... Events... had caused him to get a bloody nose, it soaked his mask and began suffocating him. Hopefully he could just wash it, and not have to throw it away, that was his favorite mask...

Kakashi got dressed and walked into the kitchen, he saw a plate of bacon and eggs with a note next to it. Confused, he opened the folded piece of paper and read it.

Kakashi,

I'm so sorry about what happened this morning, so I made you some breakfast as an apology. Also, I went to the weapons shop to sharpen my kunai and shuriken. I'll be back around noon.

-Hinata

Kakashi sighed and smiled a little. When Minato said she was going to the front lines in two days, he had thought long and hard about it. He thought about if Hinata died, and it made him realize he was falling for her, she's only been here for about a week and a half, but she's made such a dent in his life. He promised to himself, he would tell her before she left, tell her to come home for him. At first, he thought it was a petty crush, but the thought of losing her hurt so bad that Kakashi thought he was having a heart attack.

"I'll do it tonight..." Kakashi nodded, determination shown in his eyes, "You'll do what tonight?" Kakashi turned around and glared at Obito, who had walked in without knocking... again... "How about you mind your own business and stay out of my house." Obito scowled at Kakashi like a child.
