Chapter 2 - Maybe it was a good thing Shikamaru didn’t care for her in such a romantic way and it was not like her feelings for him were set in stone. There was still many fish in the sea as they say ... then again maybe Ino still was not ready to date anyone …else… or have any real man in her life. When Ino thought about it, her track record with males who were tied to her heart was pretty bad. There was the whole Sasuke thing for one … then her Sensei Asuma … and one could not forget her very own father. Wow … when she really let people into her heart it was like cursing them or something. Sighing Ino looked to the clock over head from where Lady Tsunada stood pulling a file from a cabinet. It had been a few days now since Ino had tired flirting with Shikamaru on the hillside. Since then her days had been worse, filled with non-stop work. It was not just here at the hospital but helping her mother at the flower shop and trying to take care of her own apt’s needs and then studying with Sakura. It was really wearing Ino down and evenmaking it very hard for her to stick to her new diet. “Ino?” Tsunade said with her hands on her hips, one of them holding a folder as well. Blue eyes blinked wide in surprise at viewing the Hokage now standing before her. She must have spaced out for a moment. Lady Tsunade frowned with a small hint of worry for the younger blonde. The poor thing really had been having a hard time of late. “Am sorry … what was it Lady Tsunade?” Ino asked with a forced smile to her face to hide how worn out she felt. Studying the girl’s face for a moment she questioned, “Would you mind doing a tiny mission for me?” It was different from what she had first asked her pupil. She had originally asked if Ino could fetch Sakura for her, having in mind for the pink haired girl to do the mission she was about to give Ino, however with the certain amusement the mission would bring, she thought Ino might need it more right now. xoxoxo Eyeing the picnic basket in her hands as she walked down the dirt road of the old hardly used training grounds, Ino was sure Lady Tsunade was picking on her. This should be a ranked S mission if any! For the girl had heard stories not just from Sakura but the others who worked at the hospital about how hard this task she had been given could really get! Ino paused in step and huffed, ok that was enough! She had been sulking around the village for days with her pity party! It was a time to put an end to it. Sure the task at hand was going to be hard or lest it would for anyone else but she was Ino Yamanaka! And she would be damned if she let another man get the upper hand on her! Quickly the blonde thought up a plan of how to get this done. Lady Tsunade wanted a quick check of Kakashi Hatake’s vital signs for future reference for when he would next end up in the hospital and as well as some blood samples for normal check up tests that he had been ignoring. A smirk came to her lips, the best way to go about this came to her mind and she sat the picnic basket down and reached up to her hair. Taking hold of her ponytail and wiggled it in place she made the band holding it shift down on her golden locks and then it flop to the side a bit messy when she let go of it. Ino then pinched at her cheeks and followed up by patting at them with the palms of her hand to make sure they were good and flushed. Picking up the picnic basket she nodded reassurance to herself. She was ready for this ... whatever Kakashi brought she could handle it! A half hour later of searching for the man finally paid off when she spotted him a bit a ways away up a tree reading from one of his favorite naughty books. She breathed out slowly then filled her lungs deeply of air to help project her voice better. “Kakashi Sensei !” Ino called out and waved an arm over head to flag his attention. Seeing the man look up from his beloved book she let her arm drop to her side and took a step towards his direction only to fall to her knees on the grass. On her knees she seemed to wobble as she was trying to get up. She even placed a hand to her head as if trying to get the world around her to stop spinning. At once in a blink of an eye Kakashi teleported from the tree to Ino’s side half cradling the young woman letting her use his own body as support. Taking in the sight of Ino, her hair, which was always prefect, every stand in place, now was slightly messy and her face seemed flushed, maybe from too much sun to her delicate fair skin. “Ino-chan are you alright?” he asked with sincere worry. “Gomen Kakashi Sensei … oh my how very embarrassing.” She looked away off to the side yet leaned more into his hold and even placed a hand to his vest to grip lightly at it. “I fear having not eaten yet today and the sun’s heat has done a bit of a number on me.” She laughed softly. The best believable lies were those close to the truth. “Ano…” the man stumbled with what to say to this, then after a bit of thought offered. “Would you like me to help you get home to rest?” She gave a soft shake of her head, “Oh no that is very kind of you but I would hate to be troublesome to you … besides I spent so long trying to find you out here and after my lunch break is over with I really must get back to the hospital to finish my day’s training.” She politely explained. Kakashi blinked at that, she had not been out here really that long as he had taken note of her chakra a few chapters back. Letting that roll off he asked, “You were looking for me Ino-chan? Whatever for?” “Since Lady Tsunade has not been able to get you to come in for your yearly exam she asked me to find you and give you a quick check up.” “Ah! ... well then … ano … with how your feeling am sure she would not mind postponing it for later.” His dark eye turned down a bit at the corners showing he was putting on one of his best smiles to wiggle out this already. Yet with him still on the ground with them both on their knees and Ino leaning on him, even holding to him as he held to her, there was little room for escape. “Oh I gave my word Kakashi sensei besides it will only take but a few moments and if you’re a good boy and don’t put up to much a fuss I’ll even share my lunch with you.” Ok he had been played clearly! He moved along with the blonde as she ushered him to help herself up and even took the picnic basket when she handed it to him to hold. “That’s not really necessary Ino-chan and please just Kakashi will just do fine.” He replied still smiling not seeming to be able to help it with how comical his predicament had changed so suddenly. Ino wrapped her arms around his free arm and shook her head, “Don’t be silly Kakashi sensei I have more than enough for the both of us, besides its good to have something to drink and eat after giving blood. Come on now let’s take a seat under that tree over there away from the sun, am not wearing much sun block you see.” She smiled brightly up to him and started to guide him along not daring to let go of him in case he bolted. Ah he had most certainly been set up. However with Ino sticking so well to her role and not making him go to the hospital for it he gave in and let himself be lead over and took a seat under the tree of her picking. “Very well, Ino-chan knows best then.” He playfully replied. “Ah you really are a very wise man Kakashi sensei.” Ino giggled in reply as she took the basket from him and sat next to him. “Just Kakashi ... really sensei makes me sound so old.” He laughed rubbing the back of his head as he watched her taking out a chart and pen from the basket. Blue eyes scanned over his chart and she giggled at reading his birth date. “Ah?” he questioned and leaned over her shoulder to see what she was reading. “Oi! It’s not that bad … I mean am not an old man,” He pouted and sort of whined. “Hai, hai…” she looked back at him and pouted mockingly at him on seeing the way he was looking at her. When it seem to only further depress the man she reached out and softly ran the back of her knuckles lightly along his cheek, her thumb nail sliding just under the inside of his mask but making no move to push it down any. “They say you’re only as old as you feel Kakashi and you feel like a very good age to be at,” she purred. The clear flirting to him from such a lovely young lady with her kind words along with it lifted his sprits back up. He was only human after all and when a pretty faced nice girl gave you praise it was only decent of one to reply kindly in return. “Ah Ino-chan you’re very sweet…” he was cut off as her hand lifted from his cheek and she placed a finger over his lips though his mask. “Just Ino will do. I would hate for you to be thinking of me just some child.” Kakashi’s dark eye looked over her clearly taking her all in and making a show of doing so to let her know he was looking. He then reached up carefully and pulled her hand down a bit. “Ino it is then…” and with that said he leaned forward and though his mask kissed the back of her hand. The kiss had surprised her yet thrilled her to no end. Of course she was not foolish nor self absorbed enough to think the great copy ninja was in love with her or some such a thing just over that. He was simply play flirting with her like she was with him. Kakashi enjoyed the soft giggle that came from her at that and let her hand go as she softly tugged on it to have it back. He then watched her remove a forehead thermometer from the basket and moved closer to him. Almost right in his lap. He could not help but smile more at the closeness and made no objection to it, nor her lifting his headband up so she could run the thermometer over his forehead. It was innocent flirting and it was fun making them both feel good. A nice change from the everyday dullness. Kakashi saw no harm in it and hey who was he to complain about a lovely lady flirting with him? After writing down his temp she nodded, “99.9.. mmm Kakashi you run a bit hotter than normal.” “Well it is a warm day out today.” “Mm I don’t think that is what it is… “ she smirked then took hold of his wrist and started to take his pulse. “Hn… is that so? And what you would say is the cause?” he teased just wanting to see what she would say. “Oh that’s easy… it’s surly due to your overactive imagination.” “Overactive imagination?” “Oh yes! With all those naughty, naughty books of yours you read... no doubt all the things you cook up in that head of yours has your body naturally running hot.” She replied as smooth as glass and wrote down the results of his pulse. “Heh now you’re making me seem like some pervert … it’s just good literature.” She turned his arm around and pulled his long black sleeve up all the way to his strong lean bicep, her nails lightly dragging teasingly over his bare uncovered skin as she did so. “Oh is that so? Then maybe after am done I should have you read some to me so I can see just how good it is.” Kakashi found himself blushing at the idea and had to look away. “If you would really like to give them a try I would be happy to lean you one.” “Mm alright then, if I like what I hear I’ll borrow your book.” She let the back of his hand rest to her shoulder and with an alcohol wipe cleaned off an area in the bend of his arm after trying a rubber band just above the area. He so could not read her something like that! He had to find a way to change the subject and hope she would forget that idea. Taking out a covered needle she unwrapped it and positions it over the area she readied. “Stay still Kakashi you will feel a slight prick.” “Heh not the first time I heard that.” She paused in her action and raised a brow as she looked at him oddly. “Oi! No I didn’t mean it like … eh…” he was always being misunderstood! “Riiight…” Ino shook her head and pushed in the needle and after collecting a few vials of blood she removed the needle and replaced it with some gauze that she held to his arm to get the blood to ease to a semi stop. Looking up she took noticed that Kakashi was holding his eyes tightly closed and looking away. Was he scared of needles? Kawaii! Giggling she pulled out a purple band-aid with printed pink pigs on it and swapped places with it and the gauze. “All over… see not so bad ne?” Kakashi opened his one good eye and looked down to the band-aid and smiled at it. “Hn normally it takes them a few sticks before they can get my blood. You’re very skilled Ino... thanks. I’ll have to request you every time for my yearly exams.” A blush now came to the blonde’s face at his honest praise. She had never had anyone say that to her before. “You’re most welcome Kakashi…” she almost shyly replied. As Kakashi rolled his sleeve down, Ino put away her medical items and removed her lunch with two plates and two juice boxes. “Grape or cherry?” Ino asked. Looking at to the small boxes he gave a shrug, “Either is fine.” She nodded and let him have her cherry one. Even opened it for him and stuck in his straw to the box with one single motion and then present it to him. “Arigato gozaimasu Ino,” he said taking the box drink. She nodded and started then dishing out the food to the plates. Rice balls with steamed well seasoned eggplant strips and a touch of mint leaf on the side making the plate of food look suddenly restaurant worthy as it gave a touch of class as if making up for the juice boxes. Once again Kakashi thanked her as she set his food to his lap with chopsticks. “Sorry it’s nothing more, am cooking with recipes from this new diet I started on,” she tried to explain. “Ah no, no it’s fine. I love eggplant…” he picked up some with his chopsticks and went to lower his mask to try some but paused, leaving his mask in place as he caught on to one word and questioned it. “Diet?” Ino blushed as she fixed own plate that had less than his. “Yes I need to lose about seven pounds,” she admitted. Kakashi looked over her well hourglass build and shook his head, “I can’t see anywhere I would want to see it taken away from.” A dark crimson took over Ino’s face and she took a sip from her juice box as Kakashi smiled and pulled out his book to start reading it once more as he ate and drink behind it. In silence they ate as Ino reflected on how many people had told her she didn’t need to lose weight, even Shikamaru had but never had he said it in such a way to make her feel so good about herself like how Kakashi had just done. Kakashi was a very refreshing person to be around even if very blunt. It kinda of even made him seem charming. Looking up as she sipped her drink from the thin straw she watched his one uncovered eye as it seemed to be very focused on whatever words he was reading. “So then, you must be ready to read to me ne?” Ino questioned with a grinning smirk. Happy to see she was not the only one that was blushing today. “Ano… “ Kakashi turned red as he looked to her trying to think of some way to get out of this. “I really don’t have a very good reading voice to do the book justice.” “Aw that is a shame. I think you have a very nice voice but if you really don’t wish to read … here.” She suddenly plucked his beloved book from his hand. “I’ll read to you then. Just enjoy your lunch.” She stated and looked to the page and raised a brow. Kakashi held to his juice box, the straw under his mask so he could sip at it as he looked at her wondering if she was really going to read … and say those things out loud! “Page 241…” “Ah Ino … I was on page 242,” he corrected. “Very well then.” She looked over the page and then to him a bit of a tint came back to her cheeks. Was he really going to let her read this out loud and say such things? As Kakashi made no intent to stop her she laughed out loud and closed the book looking away. “Ah-ha! I called your bluff!” Kakashi proudly stated. Ino made a note to never play poker with the man and nodded in agreement. “That you did … hmm…” she looked down to the book she still held and opened it back up and let her thumb flip through a few pages. “But do you think I would really enjoy it?” she questioned. Setting his empty juice box down next to his empty plate he nodded, “Anyone who’s cultured enough to appreciate the written word would,” he praised highly. “Alright then I’ll borrow one then…” she looked to the book but then handed it back to him, “I could not take this one and deprive you of your reading material. Is it ok if I stop by tomorrow?” Wondering if she was really serious about this he nodded but the paused and itched the side of his face. “Though come to think of it I won’t be home much tomorrow and will be heading out very early.” “That’s fine I can come by bright and early before I have to open the flower shop.” “Ne… yes that will work I believe.” “Ok it’s settled then,” she stated and started cleaning up, returning everything back to the picnic basket. Kakashi was about to offer a hand when from across the field a voice of another blond yelled out at them. “WAIT!!!” and with a dust cloud behind the hyperactive young man Naruto came speeding up to both of them. Panting and out of breath he gasped in a few breaths of air as he rested his hands to his knees while hunched forward. Ino and Kakashi engaged looks making it clear to one another neither had the faintest clue what was up with Naruto today. “Pic-pic-picnic basket.. do you have your lunch in there?!” Naruto finally got out. “I did …” Ino replied as it was all gone now. “Nuuu!” Naruto sobbed out and fell to his hands and knees. Then a glimmer of hope came to him as he looked up to Kakashi. “Eh! Kakashi sensei how about you buy me lunch?!” It was clear the dummy was broke again and looking to score some free food. “Sorry Naruto, I had lunch with Ino…” “EH?!” Naurto gasped out looking between the two of them and the picnic basket concluding it was a date. A grin came to the young man’s face as he moved over to Kakashi and lightly jabbed him in the ribs with his elbow as he snickered. “Isn’t she like young enough to be your granddaughter? Wow you really are a pervert Kakashi sensei.” Kakashi pouted, “Am not THAT old!” As Naruto snickered about his long time teacher’s depressed state Ino got up brushing off a bit of grass and dirt from her outfit and then picked up the basket. “You know Naruto-kun any guy like Kakashi that is able to know how to please a woman so fully can never be counted as old. He is just aged like good plum wine.” Naurto looked to Ino clearly not getting it and even asked, “What’s that suppose to mean?” He then started poking Kakashi in the head, “Isn’t good plum wine suppose to be like a hundred years old to be counted as really good? Wow Kakashi sensei you’re ancient!” “Am not that old…” Kakash tried again with a pleading whine. Ino rolled her eyes and then just to get Naurto to leave the poor guy alone she stated, “It means, am purely using him for the sex.” Naruto’s jaw dropped and quickly covered his ears, “EWWW!!! Your both perverts!” and with that rushed off not wanting to get sick before even eating anything. Kakashi looked to Ino very surprised. Ino shrugged, “He didn’t let me finish… am using you for the sex … books.” She giggled. Kakashi put a hand to his head and shook it but could not help but chuckle a bit himself. With the man now in a good mood once again like how he had gifted her with such a state, she waved to him and headed off. “Ja ne!” xoxoxo A/N’s: Wow… the chapter was longer this time, go me! I think am starting to really get into this ninja world, or at least for this chapter. I had a woot writing it. Hope you guys had fun reading it and I very much look forward to your feedback. I put a lot of work into writing Kakashi as I didn’t want to get killed by his other fangirls. I also didn’t want to make him a sour puss and didn’t want to make him like some horny teen boy that would hump anything, so hopefully I portrayed him with a good level keeping him as the smexy cool guy we all love. Annnd if you don’t love Kakashi there is something wrong with you lol. Next time Shikamaru gets told about Ino’s and Kakashi’s “Date” and investigates … P.S. The innuendos about that cherry juice box was meant to be placed there due to my sick twisted since of humor and just to tease you all a bit.
