He saved me (A Kakashi Love Story)

Chapter 8

I swiped the emotions off of my face and turned to face Kakashi, who was slouching lazily against a tree, reading.

"Gai hobbled away a moment or two ago. You really did a number on him," he commented, and I think he may have smirked.

I shrugged blankly, running a hand through my hair, "What about those D-ranks?"

He glanced up at me, and tossed me three scrolls.

I quickly read them over, shrugged, and started off in the general direction of the village.

"Wrong way!" he sighed, jogging after me.

He grabbed my shoulder, turned me to the right, and started leading me out of the forest.

"What if I wanted to go the other way?" I questioned.

"Then you would've ended up in a swamp," he replied coolly, and sped up a bit.

Rolling my eyes, I caught up to his side.

My finger jabbed out and poked his shoulder, but then I acted as if nothing happened.

He glanced at me from the corner of my eye,  but brushed it off as nothing.

I pouted slightly, and quickly jabbed him a bit harder in the shoulder.

He glanced over at me with an irritated/confused look in his eye.

I blinked p at him and raised my brows questioningly.

He sighed heavily and quickly sped a little more; I matched his stride easily.

When I made to poke him again, he snatched my hand before I could and gave me a playful glare.

"Why are you poking my shoulder, which now feels numb?" he asked.

"Cause I'm bored. When I'm bored I get annoying. And when I want to be annoying, it usually hurts the one I bother!" I gave him an innocent smile.

He rolled his eyes, er... eye, and replied with a grunt, starting off again and keeping a little more than an arm’s length of distance between us.

I sighed, and continued to follow him.

Kakshi led us through the crowds, and into a warehouse, making me frown.

"You're not going to lock us in here and kill me are you?!" I gasped dramatically, backing away from him. "I can't die now! I'm not even wearing any make up!"

I could hear his quiet chuckle, low enough that I'm pretty sure I wasn't supposed to hear it.

"No, Whisper. We, well, you, are going to unload these boxes," he gestured over to a wagon that had a load of heavy boxes on it.

"Phew… I can do that," I smiled, showing I was only kidding.

I quickly used the plants from the ground to unload the boxes; I wrapped them tightly around the bundle and set them in a corner.

Meanwhile, the delivery man was frozen, staring at me like I was some kind of other worldly creature.

"What did you do to those plants? Ya use some kinda miracle-grow or somethin' on 'em?" he jawed stupidly, mouth hanging open.

"Heeeck naw! I jus' used me suppa powas!"

The sarcasm in my voice could have curdled new milk.

Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Kakashi face-palm. Again.

He should probably stop doing that... He's going to get brain (facial?) damage...

"Okay. Well, we're done here, so..." he trailed off, grabbing my arm and dragging me away before either of us could say a word more.
