Awhile later, I was brought back to earth when Kakashi took a gentle hold of my shoulder. One minute we were on the roof of the academy, the next, we were standing in front of a tea house.

"Kakashi...?" I glanced up at him, just as he took my hand in his and began leading me inside. "What are we-" He shot me a look that told me to be quiet. Surprisingly, I agreed.

He kept a hold on my hand as he found an unoccupied, somewhat private booth, and gestured for me to sit. I slid into the booth and tensed a little when he slid into the space beside me, his fingers twining with mine.

"Now, let's talk."

****************************

"Onee-Chan! Onee-Chan! Wake up!" I groaned, the weight on my back jumping with each call. "Come on, Onee-Chan!"

"Naruto, it's too early...." The whine came out of my mouth, only to be followed by a pillow hitting the back of my head. "Naruto!"

"We have the test today!" My little brother hit me with the pillow again, then jumped up and ran. "Get up!" He yelled.

Sighing, I sat up and pushed my hair back over my shoulder as I stretched my arms over my head.

"Arent you a sight to see in the morning."

I jumped, staring at the silver haired man who was leaning against the wall beside my open balcony doors. "Wha-"

"IM OFF, NEE-CHAN!" Naruto's voice rang out before the sound of a door slamming echoed through the apartment.

I ran a hand over my face as I tossed the blankets away from me and slung my legs over the side of the bed. I could feel Kakashi's gaze on my barely dressed form as I stood.

"What are you doing here?" I shot a glare his way as I moved toward my dresser, pulling open the top drawer for one main piece of clothing - a bra. "We agreed to meet at the training grounds." I turned away from him and quickly, gracefully slipped my bra on, thankful my long hair was able to hide most of the action.

Once finished, I propped my hands on my hips as I turned toward the smirking man. "Is it so bad that I wanted to see you before?" He inquired, that stupid devilish look adorning his masked features. I let out a small gasp as my cheeks heated the tiniest bit.

"Whatever," I pulled out my daily clothes, only to be stopped, a hand closing around mine as his free hand rummaged around the drawers.

"You're coming out of retirement. You should at least dress like a Shinobi, not a housewife." He stated, pulling out a pair of clothes I had only ever looked at in the past ten years.

"H-Hey! I do not dress like a housewife!" I found myself protesting. Kakashi just chuckled, his hands moving to my hips as he guided my to the bathroom.

"But you make a very cute housewife." He pushed me inside the bathroom before closing the door, cutting off any protest I had as my cheeks turned to a flaming red.

"Stupid scarecrow!!" I yelled, locking the door. Huffing out a breath, I glanced down at the clothes before turning to take a shower.

~~~~~~~~~

I couldn't help but stare at the reflection of myself in the mirror. My clothes seemed to suit me more than ever. The black kimono hugged my body, accentuating every curve I'd earned over the years, all the while making my chest seem bigger than usual as it shows the tiniest bit of cleavage, the white obi around my waist not helping at all. The lower hem of the kimono stopped a little above mid thigh, showing a small amount of skin before the start of the black thigh highs, followed by knee high black ninjas boots that adorned a heel.

I tugged my long red hair over my shoulder and weaved the strands into a braid before unlocking the bathroom door and making my way to find a certain idiot.

"Kakashi... I really don't know about this.." I started as I entered the living room to find the man sitting on the couch, book in hand and a cup of something in the other. He looked up from his book as he placed the cup on the coffee table.

"You look beautiful," he smiled beneath the mask as he stood, then made his way toward me.

"Flattery will get you nowhere, baka." I retorted as he slipped his arms around my waist. "Come on, we're going to be late," I sighed, going to pull away only to be drawn toward him. I braced my left hand on his chest - coincidentally right over his heart - as he wrapped both arms around me and nuzzled his nose against mine. "W-What are you-?" My cheeks heated at the close proximity.

"Dont mistake a compliment for 'flattery'." He narrowed his gaze before a smirk spread across his masked lips.

I bit down on my lower lip, aware his gaze drifted to watch the small action. "Sorry," I found myself mumbling. Kakashi chuckled, leaning closer and pressed a soft masked kiss to my cheek.

Idiot...

~~~~Le Time Skippy~~~~

"WHERE IS HE?! HES LATE!!" I heard the distinct voice of my brother as he yelled at the top of his lungs.

"Calm down, Naruto," Sakura sighed and dropped her bag to the forest floor.

"Good morning, everyone!" Kakashi waved cheerfully as we made ourselves known to the kids.

"YOUR LATE!!" Both Naruto and Sakura screamed, glaring at us.

"Sorry. We got lost on the path of life." Kakashi grinned beneath his mask. "Anyway," the silver haired man moved over to one of the poles and pulled an alarm clock from who knows where. "The time is set for noon. Your task, is to take these bells from us." Kakashi handed me a bell, which I magically attatched to my right hip, at the edge of the obi.
