Chapter 6-Walking and Talking
I keep looking at Kakashi from the corner of my eye. I keep worrying that he'll pounce me. But he's behaving himself so far. We're almost to our destination and he hasn't so much as brushed up against me. In fact, it would be like old times if it weren't for our conversation just a little while ago...
I steal another glance at Kakashi.
"You're old enough to be my father, you know?" I ask, tilting my head up to look at him directly now.
"If that were true, Sakura, I would've had you when I was 14. Way too young to be a father. But I'm more like a big brother than a father if you insist upon comparing our relationship to incest."
My face screws up in horror.
"I'm just saying you're almost twice my age! Don't you think you're robbing the cradle a little?"
"What I'm thinking is that you're in your 20's and I'm in my 30's and I've seen far worse with 90 year olds marrying 30 year olds who are only in it for the money. And seeing how neither of us is intent upon gold digging the other and I'm far from chasing after someone 60 years my junior, I think my dating you is not all that perverse."
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this sense of logic when another thought occurs to me.
"Well, if the age thing doesn't bother you, then what about my having once been your student? I mean, it's like...Like Gai going after Tenten!"
This time it's Kakashi's face that screws up in horror.
"Ew..."
"Exactly!"
"Ugh, but Sakura, Gai going after anybody is 'Ew'!"
"Well, yeah, but you and him aren't that much different."
"How could you say that, Sakura?! I'm nothing like Gai!"
"You're both about the same age, you're both senseis, and you're both weird."
"I am not weird!"
"You read porn in public and you never take your mask off."
"Okay, but those are endearing kinds of weird."
"Endearing for you maybe! I don't know about the mother who had to try and answer her son when he asked what you were reading at the marketplace."
"She said I was reading a fantasy story, which is sort of true considering how more than half of what's in there consists of most straight males' fantasies..."
"Stop. Talking. Now. Kakashi."
"Point is...No harm done and I'm in no way anything like Gai! He's creepy and I'm...I'm smexy."
"Smexy? Is that even a word?!"
"Yes, it is. In fact, my picture's right next to the definition."
I raise an eyebrow at him.
"C'mon, Sakura, how can you resist smexy?" Kakashi persists, grinning at me behind his mask.
"You get away from her you perv!" A shrill young male voice shouts out before a blur of blond, orange, and black tackles Kakashi hard to the ground.
Maybe Ichiraku Ramen for a late breakfast wasn't such a good idea for our first date after all.
