Our Story {Kakashi X Reader}

|Part Nineteen|

|YOU|

I stood just far enough away from the gates leading into the Forest of Death. That way my team couldn't see me.

I was unbelievably proud and even a little bit surprised when they passed the first one, but now, they were entering a whole different ball game.

"You worry too much."

I jumped when Kakashi's voice spoke up next to me.

"Aren't you worried too? That place would freak anyone out."

Kakashi chuckled but before he could say anything an Anbu appeared in front of us.

"(Y/N) (L/N), Kakashi Hatake. Lord Third wishes to see you both in his office. Do you accept?"

"Yes," we said in unison.

The Anbu disappeared and Kakashi and I made our way to the Hokage's office, knocking on his door before entering.

"Come in."

We entered the office and bowed respectfully. "You wished to see us, Lord Third?" Kakashi asked.

"Ah, Kakashi, (Y/N). I'm glad you came so soon. I have a mission for the two of you, active immediately."

"What's the mission, sir?" I asked.

The Hokage pressed the pads of his fingers together and took on a more serious tone. "We've collected evidence of an illegal jutsu experiment being run downtown. I need the two of you to go undercover to collect more in-depth intel."

"Where is the experiment being held?" Kakashi asked.

"The theatre along the main street. From what I've been told, it's more of a show and tell for underground experimenters to sell their ideas to rogue shinobi. Entrance requires an invitation, and lucky for us the Anbu collected a couple on the guest list."

I glanced between Kakashi and the Hokage. "A couple on the guest list or a couple of people on the list?"

"A couple. Husband and wife, actually," Sarurobi clarified.

A lump formed in my throat and I tried my best to swallow it.

"I chose the two of you to go undercover and infiltrate this-" the Hokage waved his hand in the air in search of the right words. "-talent show. Collect information only. I want names, faces and any other details you can get. You leave tonight."

"Tonight?" I questioned. "Sir, our teams just started the exams—"

"And they'll be gone for five more days. The two of you will be back long before then."

"He's right, (Y/N)," Kakashi whispered. "This will help keep your mind off things for awhile."

I nodded. "I accept the mission, sir."

"Good." Sarutobi smirked. "Make sure to dress nice. I've been told that it's a formal event, Yui and Yuuto Bashira."

I stared at myself in my full length mirror hanging on my bathroom door, but I may as well have been looking at a stranger.

A black, cocktail dress hugged my curves with nothing holding it up but a couple of thin straps tied behind my neck. A slit along the side exposed the skin of my left leg, and I constantly felt the urge to tug the hem down over my thighs.

Groaning, I forced myself to look away from my reflection and made my way out of the house. That is, not before sliding my feet into a pair of silver, stiletto heels and grabbing the matching clutch.
