~Going Between Dimensions~

Part 20 - Slowly Getting Back To Normal

"Don't even remind me of that jutsu..." You groaned.. "Hopefully he don't try it, I don't like to be suprised like that" Asuma shaked his head as he chuckled, calm as always. "Soo, all the kids are Chunin now.. How are you two dealing with it?" It had been months since the Chunin exams that was had with the hidden sand village.. And everyone passed, which was amazing for them. "I have more freetime, and missions.. But we are proud" The loving look he gave Kurenai always made you smile. It was cute to see your teammates togheter like that, happy and in love. And since Asuma was like a brother it just made sence to be happy for them. "Maybe you should ask Lady Hokage to get a team of your own? You have always been good with kids" Kurenai looked at you, head slightly tilted.

"I don't think I have whats needed for that.. I have enough on my plate as it is" the soft chuckle leaving your lips made your friends nodd. "Lets not wait too long until next time.." You finnished your tea and got up. "This week felt too good, maybe I should retire?" You joked and gave them a small wave before you left the shop. All you had to do was some grocery shopping, and then go home and take a nap or read a book. You jump up on the fence as you normally do as you balanced on it thowards the shopping district. It was a habit at This point, something you always had done. "aren't you a bit old for that?" Kakashi's voice starttles you as you almost lost your balance, but quickly retrained it. You noticed him on the other side of the fence, almost right beneath you, reading his book.

"You really need to stop sneaking up on me while I am on the fence" You jumped down and looked at him. "On the fence for what?" He lifted his head a bit, looking over at you. "No, not like that.. Uh, forget it" You sighed, knowing he was just gonna try to twist the words if you tried to explain more. "Was the tea good?" He lowered his book as he closed his eye, showing a smile. "how did you?" he cut you off as he tilted his head. "I have seen you sitting there, had to make sure you actually took the week off as requested.." the way he explained it made you almost sound like a kid that couldn't sit still at all. "I know how to relax, belive it or not.. Even took the trip to the hotsprings and got a private one just to relax" You couldn't help but smile, it almost made you wanna go back right away.

"Between your usual reading and you spying on me... Were you able to read the documents?" your brows were slightly raised as you watched him, almost amused that he seemed to actually blush. "I didn't spy, but yes I did.. I come by you later with them and what I found out" The book got placed in his pocket before he crossed his arms over his chest. "ok, I am exited to see what you found" You were about to walk away, but stopped in your tracks as you remembered something. "ah, Guy was looking for you earlier... He didn't say what it was about, but he was asking for you" You smiled and walked off. Since you ran into Kakashi anyway, why not tell him Guy was asking for him.

When you reached the shopping district you got your groceries, and even added some ice cream to the list. Sometimes you just needed something sweet, and ice cream was something that helped no matter what season you were in. The week off had really done wonders, even though you had to caught yourself missing Kakashi of all people. It must be that you two had been working too much togheter... It was the only thing making sense. When you got home you quickly put the food away and got changed into some more comfortable clothes and sat down to have your ice cream and read the book you had been planning on reading the whole week.  It was the ideal girl night, just time to yourself the book and ice cream.  "something is missing" you mumbled as you placed the ice cream and book down. You ran into the bedroom and got the blanket and pulled it around yourself, almost walking around like a blanket ghost. You ran back to the couch and got comfy as you started to eat your ice cream and read the book.

The book was more exiting than you first thought it was gonna be. It almost made you forget you were eating ice cream all togheter. A little romance book was not that bad after all.. It didn’t have those cheeky stuff that you normally read, and it was written in a more realistic way. Normally you read what you could about ninja history and those kind of stuff, but it seems like you have missed out on good reading material in this world to say it like that. "How long did you expect me to knock on that door?" You jumped as the voice starttled you for a secound time today. "Did you knock?" You noticed Kakashi in your window as he just nodded and stepped inside. "Are you sick or something?" His eye narrowed as he look at you, almost suprised to see you tucked in a blanket with  ice cream in one hand and a book in the other. "no, I am just having a good time"
