Four hours later you are dressed in a tight bodycon dress black in color. Showing off your new curves. Underneath you are wearing a full set of lingerie right down to the stockings and garters. Your plan is to make this dinner very hard on Kakashi and tease him in every way possible.

He deserves it...right?

You left your hair down and curled it letting it flow naturally the way it likes to and put on some makeup with lipstick to match.

You check the time...545pm. He will be here in fifteen minutes. You wonder if he is dressing up this time. You hope he doesn't just show up in his uniform again. It would be nice to see a little more effort than that tonight. The more you think about him the more butterflies fill your stomach. God you were nervous. Even though he has confessed his feelings towards you, it was still hard to believe and made you doubt yourself far too often.

You decide to drown those nerves with a glass of wine while you wait for him to arrive.

Usually you would be on your phone checking messages while you waited, but you had lost your entire bag at the gala and it was nowhere to be found. You'll have to go out and buy a new phone and order in some new cards tomorrow as this is driving you crazy. You settle on reading about chakra polarities instead. A book you had picked up the other day from the library after returning the ones you had finished.

Fifteen minutes go by and you can't help but watch the clock as you sip on your wine. Growing more and more anxious by the minute. You read onto the next chapter of the book.

Another fifteen minutes passes and you curse Kakashi for being notoriously late.

"Stupid path of life..." You say out loud.

He agreed to never be late again and he hasn't been since you had set that in place. But as the clock ticks away and the minutes go by you start to doubt him. Maybe the conversation about your past has changed your relationship. Maybe he doesn't think so highly of you anymore. You spiral through self destructive scenarios as the time goes by still holding onto the hope that he may show up.

You spend hours waiting for him thinking about all the reasons why he hasn't shown up yet. Right down to the reason that he may not love you anymore...and it is all your fault.

You look at the clock again...8pm....you are devastated.

And you burst into tears at being stood up by the love of your life. You feel stupid for the effort you put into yourself and him. You feel stupid for trusting him and loving him the way you do. You feel stupid for telling him anything about your past, you should have just lied again. Maybe you could have avoided this heartbreak.

You sob into your hands at the kitchen table hating yourself. Then someone knocks on your front door.

If that is Kakashi at your door he is in so much trouble.

"You jerk!" You shout out loud.

Quickly, you straighten yourself up and fix your makeup before answering the door. You swing it open angrily to see Naruto standing at your door.

"Naruto?" You ask.

He looks you up and down then sighs.
"So it's true."

You scowl at him.
"What do you mean by that?"

He takes a deep breath in.
"I'm here to let you know Kakashi has signed off on your contract. He is no longer your teacher."

Your heart stops beating entirely and your chest tightens making it hard to breathe.
"He what...? No...He wouldn't do that." You reply in disbelief.

There is no way your sensei would give you up. Not without a fight, or a good reason. You are everything to him...right?. That's what he said...

Naruto nods and replies with the same emotionless tone he started with.
"He did. I am taking over as your sensei until our meeting with the other village hokage. From there we will decide what to do with you." He hands you the contract you had originally signed with Kakashi in his office after those few days of persuading him, along with the bag you lost at the gala and your cell phone.

You take it all and read the contract over. Sure enough at the bottom of the form under the release of student title is his signature and reason written below.

Reason: Failed to comply with instructors conditions.

That reason just tore a strip out of your soul. It was crushing to read and tears begin to pour down your cheeks. Your breath is in hitches, you can barely stand right now.

"I...I'm sorry Hana." Naruto says, noticing the heartbreak. His voice seems to soften as he watches your tears hit the concrete steps at your front door.

You look up at him and lose your shit.
"Screw you, Naruto!...you can take this contract bullshit and shove it!"

He stops you there.
"Hana, that's no way to talk to your hokage and sensei."

You glare at him through water filled eyes.
"You are NOT my hokage! And you are definitely NOT my sensei!"

He whispers something under his breath and replies, ignoring your rage completely.
"You have two options. You can either let me take you on as a student and get this stone under control before it kills someone. Or you can go back into the cage I released you from earlier today. It's your choice."

Your chest heaves as you analyze your options. Naruto glances down at your stone.
"I also suggest you calm yourself before that stone takes over again."

You follow his eyes down to your chest and notice the burning sensation and bright glow of your stone. He was right, if you don't calm down you will end up in a fight soon.

You take some long breaths in and out to help calm your heart. You need to start thinking clearly.

"Make your choice." He says.

"Fine! Let's get this shit under control so I can get the hell out of here!." You snap.

Coldly he replies.
"I will write up a new contract. Come by my office tomorrow and we can get it signed."

You wipe the tears from your cheeks.
"FINE!."

His firm expression softens.
"Thank you. And again I'm sorry."

You huff at him and walk into your house slamming the door on his face. You lean back against it and sink down to the floor. What the hell just happened?....

———————————————-

Two hours later...10pm

You are still sitting at your front door trying to come up with a reason for Kakashi to release you from his contract. One that doesn't make you feel like he has ripped your heart in two. The reason written on the form didn't make sense. You haven't officially breached any conditions, maybe some subtle things. But that was on Kakashi, he was just as guilty.

By now you had turned your phone on and searched through it looking for any messages from Kakashi or others that might explain this mess. But there was nothing. In fact all of your messages to Kakashi have been deleted including his phone number which you can't remember as it only showed up on your phone as Sensei.

This is the lowest point you have been in a long time. Except this time it is entirely out of your control and there is nothing you can do about it. You have so many questions, so many things you need to know. There is only one man who can answer those questions and he is avoiding you right now.

It was then you had an epiphany. You have never been one to be pushed aside or treated like crap. At least not without you voicing a very strong opinion over it. You had always stood up for yourself. This time is no different.

He didn't even have the decency to show up and tell you he wrote you off in person. It's about time you stop the tears and confront him. You are going to his house right now. You don't even care how late in the night it is.

You leap to your feet and stomp towards your bedroom to change. Then you stop yourself. You spent quite some time getting dolled up for Kakashi, you're not going to waste it. So you spend the next half hour fixing your makeup and hair. You spray on extra perfume and storm down the stairs to gather your essentials including the contract to present to him.

You throw on your heels and swing open the front door to the cooling humid air. It was dark out, the sun had set hours ago revealing the star peppered sky and a crescent moon that lights the way in the distance. You take in a breath of confidence and make your way to Kakashi's house.
