Falling for my Sensei •• Kakashi Hatake x OC

Second Guessing

I walk home feeling exhausted. Kakashi wanted me to relax at home even though it's Wednesday, but I insisted on coming to the field to train.

He had paperwork to do today and then a couple of errands to run anyway. So I decided to go alone.

I missed the entirety of last week because I was sick. So I spent several hours today practicing the purple lightning jutsu.

I'm so close to getting all the way through a tree I can fucking taste it.

But I've been practicing since noon and it's already almost four. So I'm calling it quits for the day.

I feel my phone buzz in the back pocket of my shorts as I walk and I pull it out seeing Emiko's name on the screen.

I press accept and hold the phone up to my ear.

"Hey Em. What's up?"

"Ari! Are you busy?" She sounds flustered.

"No, I'm heading home. Is everything okay?" I ask her.

"I have a huge favor to ask of you." She says. I hear lots of commotion in the background and it sounds as if she may be at work.

"Anything Em."

She sighs loudly. "My family is having this massive event at the restaurant tonight. We're talking all hands on deck. Anyways, our usual babysitter for my little sisters is sick and we have no one to watch them." I know where this is going.

"So I was wondering if it wouldn't be too much for you, to maybe watch them for the night?" She practically begs.

"Of course! I would love to." I say immediately.

"Really! Ari, you're the best. Amiyah is three and Keke is one. I promise they're really good! The thing is that they're here at the restaurant and  we need you to get them like now and the event won't end until around two in the morning so if you could keep them for the night it would mean-"

"Em. Of course. I don't mind at all. It will be so much fun. I'm great with kids."

"Ari, I love you!" She squeals loudly.

I giggle as I change directions and head towards her Uncle's restaurant.

"I didn't know you had sisters." I say surprised by how young they are in comparison to Emiko.

"Step mom. They're my half sisters. That's why there's that age difference." She laughs.

"Gotcha. Okay well I'll be by the restaurant in about ten minutes."

"Thank you Ari!" She quickly hangs up before I can respond.

As I turn the corner to her Uncle's restaurant, I suddenly wonder how I'm going to explain this to Kakashi.

"Amiyah, do you want Mac and cheese?" I ask from the kitchen, bouncing little Keke on my hip.

"Yes I want!" She exclaims happily while she colors in her princess coloring book on the coffee table.

I have Netflix playing in the background and she's singing along to some dancing cartoon shark.

Truthfully, the song is driving me fucking nuts but she seems to really like it.

"Kari, look!" She points to the tv for the millionth time to show me the dumbass baby shark.

"I know honey, I see that." I coo.

I try to grab the pot from under the pile of pans but fail while I have the baby in my arms.
