Flame of A Shinobi

(15- New Mission)

(Shizuka's Point of view)

I berate myself for what I had just done. I was too attracted to this man. Something about him captivates me in ways I wasn't sure I want to put a name to. I was sadly really unknowledgeable about men or how man and woman were supposed to be together. I knew I wanted, even needed something different from him. I just couldn't tell what it was. Kakashi  had excused himself to make dinner and I was frustrated. If I knew what I was doing it would be a lot less awkward.

By this point, I was truly embarrassed about my lack of knowledge about men. I figured I would never really need to know. My eyes flash as I think about the kiss. I initiated it, but it never went anywhere. I was throwing fuel to the fire knowing it was going to grow much bigger. The sad part was I liked explosions. It was all a part of how you got it to explode. It was coming soon, I just knew it.

Dinner went by in a flash, orgasmic as usual. "Kakashi, you should do this professionally. I am sure many a woman would profess their undying love for a man who can cook," I giggle as I step in to help him with dishes. He looks over surprised. "What would be the point? Then you'd have to share?" He jokes back. I freeze. "To hell with that!" I growl surprising even myself. I was undeniably attracted to Kakashi. Kakashi laughs and ruffles my hair. "I wouldn't have eyes for them anyway, " He says in a laughing tone.

I smile wistfully and put the dishes up to dry in the rack. "You know that happened last night, Kakashi?" I ask in a halting tone. "Hn? What do you mean?" He says in confusion. I shake my head. "Could you stay with me again?" I whisper in a barely audible voice. His one eye that is showing widens in surprise. "Uh, sure. No problem." 'What am I doing?' I think to myself in embarrassment as a blush spreads across my cheeks. I was acting like a silly schoolgirl with her first crush.

Thing was, I may not be a schoolgirl, but he was the first guy I had ever liked. I fell for him like a fish does for bait.   Hook line and Sinker. Not long after, we both head to bed. the same bed, mind you.

---------------Time skip to the next morning----------------

(Kakashi's Point of view)

I slowly become aware of my surroundings. I feel warm and content, having not dreamed once the entire night. It may have been the first full nights sleep I had in several years. I slowly start to stretch only to realize that there is hair in my hand. Wait... hair? I crack my eyes open to see Shizuka snuggled tightly against me, an arm thrown over my chest. Her eyes were closed peacefully in a way that made her look angelic, her blue-black hair the color of a raven's wings. Her mouth was a dusty rose color, opened slightly as she breathed in perfect harmony.

 Without expecting it, she fisted her hand in my shirt causing her nails to scrape lightly against my chest. Just like that, I became rock hard and froze into spot. 'So much for being a gentleman' I think to myself as my thoughts turn carnal. I was definitely not immune to her, thought I wanted to be able to resist. I didn't know how much longer I was going to be able to put off my feelings, which were growing by the second. 'Don't do anything you will regret, Kakashi.' I tell myself as I nearly lose control of myself. This was going to be much harder than I thought. And with the way she was nearly wrapped around me, I would not be able to take a much needed cold shower.

With a sigh, I look out the window at the slowly rising sun. It had to be about seven thirty in the morning and I desperately had to pee. I let out a slight groan and ignore my hammering urges, hoping to just get through the morning till she woke up. I closed my eyes for a while, listening to the sounds of the morning. Before long, I opened my eyes again and glanced down, only to be startled nearly out of my wits. Shizuka's bright blue eyes met my own, hazy from sleep. I hold my breath as her eyes flutter closed for a second before she stretched into me. She stood and yawned, making a face as the light hit her eyes. She had a glorious bed head and it made me smile.

I was interrupted from my thoughts by a knock on the door. Shizuka and I looked at one another in surprise as I rose to get the door. Before me stood a sleepy-looking Asuma. I frowned and let out a tired sigh. "We just got up. To Lord Hokage's then?" I ask him without any protest. Asuma nods in confirmation and disappears in a puff of smoke. I shake my head and grab my work clothes, heading to the bathroom to change. It didn't take us very long before we are dressed and ready. Another 7 minutes and we are in Lord Third's office, awaiting Kurenai and Asuma. Lord Hokage looks at the two of us and smiles.

"I see you are both doing well," He says as he leans back a little in his chair. I glance at Shizuka and then back at the Hokage. "Yes, Lord Hokage. All has been well on our end." I say without revealing more. He gives me a knowing smile that nearly causes me to suck in a sharp breath. "I am glad to hear it. You two deserve it," he says. Shizuka's face turns bright red and her mouth opens in surprise. "Lord Hokage, please don't get the wrong idea! It's not like that!" She protests. The Hokage bursts into laughter, holding his shaking sides as I try my best not to laugh as well. "Me thinks the Lady doth protest too much," He chuckles as the door opens to reveal Asuma and Kurenai.

Snapping his attention to business, he turns to the window and Stands. Staring out into the morning he begins to speak. "We have word that an important relative of the feudal lord was taken hostage in return for the usurpation of the Feudal lord himself. I want your team to get her back and return her where she belongs. We have word that the Kidnappers are from the Hidden Stone village. Try not to kill too many." Lord Hokage says as he turns to us. Asuma nods as Captain of our group. We are given time to get supplies and then dismissed, Asuma staying behind to talk to his father, Lord third.

(Shizuka's Point of View)

I let out a sigh and looked over at the park. Children played carelessly, squealing in pleasure as they gave chase to one another. "I wish we could have more time to just enjoy life. Everything seems a little darker the older we get," I say as we walk along. Kakashi eyes me thoughtfully. "But then we would never learn anything. If we froze time forever, there would be no such thing as living for the moment," He says. I nod and look down at my feet.

I just never want to be left behind. That was my biggest fear. No matter how much time passes, I will probably always be afraid of being forgotten. I look at Kakashi as we pick up the tools we will need for our mission, noticing the way he watches me. It made shivers go down my back. "This mission shouldn't be too hard, but you never want to be too relaxed." Kakashi says as we finish our shopping.

Before too long we meet the others at the gate, looking at the map and going over battle strategies. With a set strategy as plan A, we take off for our destination.

(Sorry this was short. I wrote this after work. I am seriously sore and exhausted. Will write more tomorrow since I have the day off. Have a great day guys. the next chapter will get really good. What do you think is in store for Kakashi and Shizuka? Questions? Comments? Leave them below!)
