A Written Word: Eternity

Chapter 4

(Anko and Uta have become something like friends since Uta has woken up.)

Three months...

Uta glared at her reflection in the mirror.

Three months.

Uta sighed and turned away from the mirror to leave the bathroom.

Three...months!

Kakashi turned and smiled at her, "You look great. Ready for our date?" Uta nodded, allowing Kakashi to wrap his arm around her waist and guide her through the door.

Three freaken months!

And Kakashi had yet to make love to her! Heck, even his kisses were lacking. She had to beg and plead just to get a quick peck from the man.

Uta was losing her mind.

It wasn't as if Kakashi had lost interest in her, but he was holding back instead. She knew why he was holding back. Kurenai had taken mercy on her when she had gone over for a girls night. She had told Uta that she had overheard Kakashi tell Gai that he was holding back because he was worried about Uta's health.

Uta glanced up at Kakashi as he walked with her down the street. The man could get stubborn about to most ridiculous things. She had been declared fully recovered by Tsunade a few weeks ago. She had been training hard for hours a day. Heck, she was going to be going on missions again in less than a week. And if she did well in her missions, she would likely be given a team of genin to train in a little over a month. But Kakashi was still treating her like she would break at any moment.

Kakashi felt Uta's gaze and looked at her. "You know, if you stare at me like that, you'll make me blush." Uta smiled and held eye contact with Kakashi, "Perhaps I'm trying to make you blush." Uta lightly trailed a hand along the front of Kakashi's chest. Kakashi shivered at her light touch and swallowed almost nervously, "Ah, well....you succeeded..." Kakashi turned his gaze away, clearly trying to break the mood Uta was trying to set.

Uta puffed out a little breath and turned to face forward.

She wasn't about to give up. She had sworn to herself that she would seduce her husband, even if she had to make a fool of herself to do so. She scanned the street up ahead. Sure enough she spotted Anko and Kurenai near the restaurant that Uta had chosen. The two women nodded at Uta and went into the restaurant. Uta smiled. Poor Kakashi had no idea of the diabolical plan Uta had made.

Uta tapped on Kakashi's chest to catch his attention. When he looked at her Uta swallowed her pride and set her plan into motion. She dipped her chin down, while keeping her eyes looking into Kakashi's, "Hey, I know you were thinking of sushi tonight...but we did that last week. Can we try out this new place? I hear they are really good." Kakashi glanced at the building and hesitated. The place had developed a bit of a reputation for...bringing couples together. Uta turned a bit to press her chest against Kakashi, being sure to make her cleavage visible to him, "Please~ I've looked at their menu and it looks really good~" Uta batted her eyes for good measure. Kakashi narrowed his eyes at her odd behaviour, but after a few more seconds of Uta giving the best puppy-dog eyes she could manage he sighed in defeat.

Uta let out a cheer and grabbed his hand, tugging him in through the doors.

The scent of food hit her instantly and her mouth watered. She looked around and sighed. With the places reputation she had expected the place to have a more sensual atmosphere. It looked like a typical date restaurant, with mildly dimmed lights, candles on the tables and curved booths. The music playing in the background was light and very ...bland.
