(A/N: HOW CAN ONE MAN BE SO PRETTYYYYYYYYYYYYYY UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! ٩(//̀Д/́/)۶)

"It's about lunch time. I say we take a small break here and eat up a bit. Maybe someone can join me and take a look up ahead for any sign of a village," Kakashi turns to face everyone.

"That sounds splendid darling," Murasaki agrees as he gracefully sat down on a stump.

"We have no reason to disagree with that choice. We trust your decision," Sayori walks up to Kakashi and bows to him.

She is so polite and so formal. It sort of makes you flabbergasted that you don't know what to say to her. When you were talking with her earlier her tone of voice makes you believe she is an empress. Which you totally respect. A total queen in and out I guess. She is very pretty.

"Alright, then (y/n) will come with me. Sasuke and Naruto do not do anything stupid while we are gone. Sakura I am counting on you to keep eye on everyone as well. Keep those two from killing each other. Stay on the look out this is mission," Kakashi stares down at Sasuke and Naruto who were glaring at each other.

Really I swear you can tell those two something but it goes right out the other ear in a moment.

WAIT-

"HUH?! You want me to come along?!" You look over to Kakashi with surprised widened eyes.

"Did I stutter? You are coming with me," He clarifies his eye on you making you blush a little.

There goes you wanting stay far away from this man.

"F...Fine," You sigh as you place the things you carried for Sayori down and your bag.

Sayori thanks you and you just say it's fine as you stretch and walk up to Kakashi.

"Ready?" He asks patting the top of your head.

"Don't head pat me! Yes!" You pull his hand away flustered and jump up high into a tree.

Kakashi follows not too far behind and you both were instantly taking in as much as you could see. You admit you fell behind a little and let Kakashi get ahead of you. You were distracted. You were thinking. You were questioning.

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!

You could still feel his gaze on you and the warmth of his hand from giving you head pat is still there. You can feel it everywhere. It sent shivers down your spine and it felt good. Strangely good. It shouldn't though. You have felt good before right?! Like when you punched that girl who beat up Sakura! The look on her face was priceless because she didn't have a pretty one at the end. Or when you ate your favorite food while taking a bath and reading your favorite manga or watching anime.

THIS IS ON A TOTALLY DIFFERENT LEVEL THAN THAT FEELING OF GOOD THAT KAKASHI GIVES YOU THOUGH.

"Hey are you listening?" Kakashi asks calling out to you.

"Huh? Oh umm yeah I'm just fi... kya!" You nod and just as you were about finish your response you trip over a branch and fell over.

"(y/n)!" Kakashi stops and instantly jumps back reaching his hand out to you.

You close your eyes as you fell bracing yourself for impact. You felt something wrap around your body in which you instinctively grab onto something. You instantly stop. You slowly open your eyes a bit confused not feeling the hard floor.

"You have to be more careful kid," Kakashi's voice echoes in your ear making you look up and you were just inches from his.

"I uh.. umm y...yeah thanks," You look down at your hands that were grabbing onto his vest.

You instantly lit up into a bright red and jump out of his arms trying to regain your composure. You dust yourself off sliding some strands of your hair behind your ear.

"Let's keep going...," You mumble flustered.

"Are you sure you are alright?" He asks.

"Haha of course! Let's go!" You laugh to hide your embarrassment and you jump back into the trees.

[Timeskip]

"Alright so it's already sunset however there is a small village up ahead with a rusty motel for us to stay the night," Kakashi informs everyone as he points out towards the direction you two went earlier.

"Great, that is wonderful news. I knew of that village but wasn't quite sure it was near  enough to bring up," Murasaki smiles happily.

"Huh?! If you knew then why didn't you say anything?!" Naruto shouts.

"Tee-hee~" Murasaki bonks his own head softly with his tongue sticking out.

"We apologize for not saying anything sooner. We just didn't want to inform in case it would be too long to get there," Sayori sighs shaking her head.

"No worries Sayori. Let's go ahead and head out. If we leave now then by the time we get there the night will be young enough for us to find a place to rest the night," You inform everyone as you grab your bag and the stuff you held for Sayori earlier.

Naruto was pouting the whole way still upset about Murasaki still. You get it would have helped you and Kakashi faster but it wasn't a big issue. Sakura was getting drowsy herself thought. She hasn't walked this long before so she began to sway a little with each of her steps. Murasaki tries his best to keep her on her toes however. Sasuke out of nowhere takes some of Sayori's things from you which surprises you.

"I can carry those too Sasuke," You call out to him.

"It's fine just let me," He states looking straight ahead.

"Someone's getting soft?~" You tease and poke fun at him.

"Shut the hell up," He clicks his tongue.

You laugh at his reaction and thank him. He just nods to you and went back to being the quiet dark soul he was. After a while we saw some lights not too far ahead of us. You and the group quickly gain up speed to get into the village but before you guys entered Murasaki calls out to all of you.

"No no no! This just won't do my darlings! You can't go into this village looking like that! So utterly distasteful~," Murasaki dramatically poses his hand over his forehead as if he were about to faint.

You laugh nervously at this sudden statement.

"Murasaki-sama are you sure you want to do this now?" Sayori walks up to him.

"Mhmm!~ I am quite sure Sayori-chan you beautiful water lily!~" Murasaki smirks nodding his head with a mischievous smile across his face.

"As you command Murasaki-sama," Sayori bows and grabs you and Sakura pulling you two aside.

"Huh?! What are you doing?!" You ask a bit panic.

"Please do pardon me but... I must ask you both to strip," Sayori states as she drags you both far enough behind some trees and bushes.

WHAT?!?!?!

Before you knew it...

Sayori put this yukata on you and braided your (long/short) (h/c) hair. She was so skilled at this for sure and yet seemed so graceful while doing so. Lastly she puts a hair clip into your hair.

"There we go. You both look rather beautiful. Sakura looking so pure and vigilant in her yukata. While you (y/n) are so refine and beautiful in yours," Sayori smiles to both of you.

"Wow! These are so gorgeous! Thank you so much!" Sakura bows to Sayori.

"No need to thank me. As long as you both are happy. Shall we head back?" She offers and so you all head back.

You were still contemplating if you still actually look really good. You love the yukata and hair clip but were you pretty enough to be in these clothes. This yukata is actually quite soft to the touch yet still so elegant.

"Wow!!! Look at you two! So pretty! I bet all the boys back in your village would fight for you two for sure!" Murasaki rushes over to you guys and examines your yukatas.

"They both look breath taking. You did a good job Sayori. As expected from my amazing assistant," Murasaki hugs Sayori who pats his back.

You look around amazed at the glow up Naruto and Sasuke had with their hairs being styled a bit and their charming yukatas on. You barely even recognized Sasuke. Then that's when you notice something. You began to look around a bit.

"If you're looking for your sensei he says he would like to stay back a bit to make sure things are clear so we are going to head into the village together. He has to stay behind to uhh DO something. Stay together it is very lively right now," Murasaki informs everyone which makes you blush for even thinking about where Kakashi was.

You swear you caught of glimpse of Murasaki smirking before walking off.

 As you enter the village you are instantly greeted by the scent of food and smoke. Like cigarette smoke. It sort of throws you off but it isn't new for a lively village. As you keep walking further and further into the village with everyone it isn't too long until you are all bunched together like sardines making your way through the crowd. People passing through were extremely gorgeous and beautiful. Some adorn with many luxuries. It surprises you that a village like this isn't filled with ninjas but then again some have no need for them you guess.

"Sakura how are you feeling?" As you face forward again to keep up with everyone you see that Sakura isn't in front of you anymore.

"S...Sakura?" You instantly felt your heart drop.

You had to keep walking because if you stop you run into people or their shoulders shove you over. You began to panic looking around but you couldn't even catch a glimpse. Everyone was compiling each other it is hard to tell people apart. 

"Sakura-chan?! Sasuke?! Ramen boy?! Where are you?!" You shout out loud from your sheer moment of anxiety and panic.

There is no way. No way! First actual real mission and you screw yourself up by getting yourself lost. Good job. You are going to be a fantastic ninja. FAN-FUCKIN-TASTIC!

You are lost!

"You let yourself get lost! Ugh this is what you get for overthinking!" You shout and scold yourself sighing in frustration.

Suddenly you felt someone lift you up letting you yelp in surprise. Instantly you are in the air while in someone's arms.

"L...Let me go!" You try to push away your kidnapper.

"Relax, you got lost from the others and as your sensei I would rather not like to drop my own student," A familiar calm voice reaches your ear making you look up to see Kakashi in his yukata.

(A/N: The picture above uwu)

You felt your heart melt at the sight of seeing his other eye. Sure it wasn't his whole face but just seeing his other eye not be covered up by his headband anymore just makes you feel like puddy. You stare deeply into his dark black eyes that were also staring down back at you. Your heart began to race like crazy.

"Is something wrong?" He asks.

"N...No, I'm sorry I got lost," You look away from him biting your bottom lip embarrassed. 

{Kakashi's POV}

When I saw (y/n) bite her lip it instantly made my blood rush. It reminds me of the night I accidentally fell onto her and our lips just touched for that one moment. I am not sure whether or not to thank Gai or not... Nah he's fine.

Besides I shouldn't feel this way towards a student.

But those delectable lips. Her slightly rosy red cheeks and adorable sparkling (e/c) eyes. When I look into them sometimes it makes me feel like I am staring at the night sky.

"Sensei?" She calls out to me in a soft worried voice.

"Let's go ahead and catch up with the others so hold on tight," I held her tight in my arms.

(y/n) nods as she slowly wraps her fragile arms around my neck. Her head laying against my shoulder. How can she be so cute?! She has no idea how much power she has over me.

"Do you trust me?" I ask her.

"What did you say?" She says into my ear.

"Do you trust me," I repeat.

"Y...Yes...Yes I do," She nods and I smile under my mask as I jump from roof to roof.

The slight breeze helps me calm down my beating heart. It helps me relax my tense nerves that I have around this girl.

Not too long after I was able to spot Sakura standing in front of a motel with Sasuke and Naruto. I slowly approach them still carrying (y/n) in my arms.

"Look it's sensei and (y/n)! Haha I told ya they would make it!" Naruto shouts extremely loud.

"Naruto don't say that you know you're just as guilty as the rest of us for letting her get lost," Sakura scolds him punching his shoulder.

"Oh! Kakashi, I am so glad you finally made it and found (y/n). I can be rest assured now," Murasaki comes out from the motel sighing in relief.

"We are deeply sorry for losing on of your students!" Sayori bows deeply to me.

I slowly bring a finger up to my lips signing them to be a bit more quiet. Slowly I shift (y/n) in my arms revealing her adorable sleeping face. Everyone stares at her in awe.

"I assume that means it is time for us to sleep as well," Murasaki smiles.

We all walk in together and Murasaki sent me a couple of questioning looks. Sometimes I could see him smirk my way and his eyes would wander to the sleeping girl in my arms. I glare at him a few times. Whatever he has planned is not going to be pretty.

"Since the rooming is a bit weird here why do we have the three of you together in one room. Me and Sayori already have one of our own. Your sensei will take care of (y/n) since she has fallen asleep in his arms," Murasaki hands everyone their room key and walks off without another word.

As I look at the key numbers I felt relief knowing my students and I will all be on the same floor.

Wait...

ME AND (Y/N) ARE SHARING A ROOM?!

I sigh a bit distressed not really able to say much to Murasaki at this point.

"You three make sure to wake up early and ready. As soon as we get something to eat we are heading out and not gonna stop until we get to our goal," I explain to them.

"Yes sensei!" They all said in unison.

"But why do I have to share the same room as this asshat!" Naruto points his thumb at Sasuke.

"Yeah, why do I have to share a damn room with this dumbass," Sasuke clicks his tongue.

I sent them both a glare not wanting to deal with their childish dispute. They both got a bit scared and pout walking away together with Sakura scolding them.

As for (y/n)...

I took her to our room and set her down on the bed. She was still sound asleep. Snoring softly with her mouth open a bit which makes me chuckle. I caress her cheek listening to her sleep.

"Ours..."

It had a strangely good ring to it. What a funny thing to think about...
