Bummer. I have to update in such a short amount of time. Oh well. Hopefully another snow day along the way for me. Since we have A.C in the school I don't mind snow days anymore. Please review! A cookie would be nice too!


Kurenai rubbed her head, wishing she could just go back in time. She had woken up and gone to apologize to Hinata to find that she wasn't there. Her first impulse was to call the cops but she already knew where Hinata was. With the very person that Kurenai had forbidden her to see.

I thought this was for the best. Maybe…just maybe I was wrong. She would never disobey me like this. Hell, she never even raised her voice to me before. Maybe Kakashi is a good thing after all. He might be a pervert, but he would never do something that would hurt her. He's just not that type of man. I hate to say this…but I was wrong and now I must make things right. Dammit, Kakashi you better treat her right.

Kurenai grabbed her car keys, not bothering to change and headed to her car.

Please let Hinata forgive me.


Hinata giggled, trying desperately to muffle it with her hand so as not to get caught. Kakashi was still searching for her after he had found her twice already. This time she was hiding in the shower.

I love hide and seek, she thought, still trying not to giggle.

The sounds of footsteps alerted her to his presence and she almost gave her position away when she slipped. The soft sounds stopped, pausing on their way.

Kakashi smirked. Creeping up on her, he flung the gold curtain aside and hugged her suddenly, while she squealed. He brought her out, and threw her over his shoulder, her face equal to the middle of his back.

"Found you," he purred, slapping her once on the butt. Helplessly, she blushed.

When they heard the bell ring, both froze, Hinata gripping Kakashi's waist to keep herself steady and balanced. Setting her down, Kakashi turned to her.

"Kurenai," they said in unison, Hinata adding the honorific.

Impulsively, Kakashi grabbed her and kissed her, harder than normal. If it was Kurenai he wanted to say goodbye in this personal way without prying eyes.

Hinata hugged onto him tightly and then let go, walking with him to the door. Hiding behind Kakashi, she held onto his elbow, sulking. He opened the door.

"Kakashi," Kurenai said, bowing to him. "Hinata," she said worriedly, forcing herself not to glomp the poor Hyuuga.

Kakashi wordlessly let her in, keeping the much shorter Hinata behind him. She clung to him, like a chimp and its mother.

Kurenai was led to the living room, where she sat, crossing her legs and turning to the couple. Kakashi had his arm wrapped around Hinata and she was leaning against him, paler than ever.

"You want to take Hinata away."

Kurenai let his accusation hang in the air for a while before answering. "Yes," she said.

Hinata whimpered. "But sensei, I really do care for-"

Kurenai held her hand up. "I already know," she said interrupting her student, "You don't have to say it. I won't stop you two from pursuing a relationship."

"What?!"

Kurenai sighed. "You were right Hinata. I was acting like you father. But you must understand…I thought what I was doing was for the best. I was wrong. Seeing you here with Kakashi drives the point in even farther. You two love each other, just like Asuma and me. And I have no right to take that fact away from you."

"So…we can see each other?"

Kurenai snorted. "So long as you keep it clean, Hatake. I don't want Hinata deflowered till marriage thank you very much."

Hinata blushed.

"However, she is still living with me. Get used to it," she said, her old attitude returning.

"What if she sees you and Asuma screwing around?"

"End of conversation. Let's go Hinata."

"Ah, you still don't like me," Kakashi fake pouted. "Some things will never change." He grinned and kissed Hinata on the neck. "That is however, a good thing that I thank you for Kurenai."

"Yeah, whatever."

It was only when Hinata had had two more kisses stolen and she was strapped in did she realize that her new theme song was "Everytime We Touch."
