The girl with Pink Hair

Chapter Twenty Seven

How was today already almost over? I let out an annoyed breath as the elevator opened. I even woke up early today to get in some training with Carver, I had lunch with Hinata and hung out with Sasuke. There were not enough hours in the day, how could anyone expect anyone to get anything done!?

I walked into Kakashi's apartment without knocking, I blinked seeing Sakura was sitting on the floor staring at the TV screen. Multiple colorful boxes were all around her. She had a half-wrapped box in between her legs, it could not be easy to wrap presents with one arm. I tilted my head watching her hand slowly feel around the floor for what I assumed was the tape. I chuckled seeing this, she was so entertained by the screaming people on the screen to notice I had walked in.

On the bright side it seemed Kakashi was able to get her to wear something other than her uniform, she was dressed in jeans and a light blue sweater. It looked so soft I wanted to reach out and touch it, knowing Sakura though she would snap my arm in half. I scanned the apartment, where was Kakashi? I don't think he has left her side since she decided to stay with us.

"Do you need any help?" I asked sliding off my jacket, she didn't look up from the TV. I laughed as the door behind me opened. "Hey Kakashi, do you see this?" I smiled pointing over to Sakura.

"Right where I left her." He breathed, moving into the room taking off his jacket and tossed it on the side of the couch. "She's really into that Z Nation show." Kakashi said to me.

"Oh, the zombie one." I muttered, not something I would watch a few days before Christmas but whatever makes her happy I guess.

"Yeah." Kakashi chuckled lightly as he sat behind her on the couch, he went through the paper bag, unwrapping a sandwich and placed it in Sakura's hand. He got her to notice there was somehow magical food in her hand, which she started to eat. Kakashi looked down smiling at her, his eyes were so soft as he gazed down at her...I quickly caught the burger he tossed at me, I looked at his as he laughed at my expression.

"Thanks." I smiled sitting on the couch opening it, taking a large bite I looked around at all the gifts.

"This is a lot." I muttered.

"She still has more on the way."

"S-Seriously?" I gasped turning to Kakashi.

"She has a trader coming." Kakashi leaned forward running his fingers through her long hair as she ate and watched TV.

"That's insane." I breathed looking around the apartment, I clearly needed to step up my game.

"Carver and Raiden are doing the same thing." Kakashi said, "I helped Raiden yesterday shop for a few people."

"Why are they going so over the top?" I muttered.

"We can't really judge them for it." Kakashi said,

"Huh?"

"You heard Carver; they haven't celebrated a holiday in years, they are excited." Kakashi smiled with his eye.

"I know." I nodded, "It's going to be fun!"

"It is." Kakashi agreed.

"Do you have everything you need for dinner?" I wondered,

"Yes." Kakashi nodded, "I got everything we will need."

"I am so excited!" I beamed, "Now that I finished my shopping, I feel a little more relaxed." I laughed. "Now I just have to wrap it all." I groaned, I hated wrapping I sucked at it.

"Yeah, I haven't wrapped anything." Kakashi muttered leaning back against the couch. I grinned watching Sakura look behind her with an annoyed expression written on her pretty face. She took Kakashi's hand and placed it back on her head. I smiled, feeling the love he held for her as he chuckled and continued to play with the strands of her pink hair.
