Bound: Of Friendship

The walk to the restaurant was a quiet one after Sakura told him where she'd like to have dinner.  The entire time she found herself stealing glances at him trying to figure out what he was thinking but his face wasn't exactly the most revealing.  Not to mention that he wasn't the most forthcoming man in the world either.  Sakura felt drained just thinking about the frustration she was certain to go through in the next year because of this man. 

Sakura glanced at Kakashi again realizing that she'd have to bring up the subject of their impending nuptials since it didn't seem like Kakashi had any intention of doing so.  She almost groaned aloud.  She didn't want to give the impression that this was something she was eager for.  She was already uncomfortable with this as it was she didn't want to make things any more awkward. 

But what choice did she have?

"Kakashi--"

"Do you consider us to be friends?"

Sakura blinked surprised and a little offended at the question. "Of course."  The man had been a part of her life for what seemed like forever.  If she didn't think of him as friend there was no way she'd be with him at that very moment.

Kakashi paused in his walking and looked down at her in a way that she assumed meant he was stunned.  

"Why?" 

"Why?"  Sakura echoed.  "You don't think we are?"  She was ready to be offended and start a fight.  She had some pent up aggression that she needed to work out but Kakashi had never been one to simply give her what she wanted.  The man was the King of Mind Games. 

"I suppose that depends upon your definition of friends."

"I was under the impression that there was only one definition."  Sakura said wryly.

"Perhaps...to the simple-minded."

A vein on Sakura's head began to throb.  "Are you calling me simple?"

"Of course not."  Kakashi said, his eye creasing with his smile.  "I'm simply saying that you know as well as I do that there are friends and then there are friends."  Kakashi said, with a waggle of his brow causing Sakura to laugh despite herself.  

Yes, she knew that there was a difference.  She considered both Naruto and Sasuke to be her friends, however, the sentiment behind it was different.  Surprisingly though even as she thought about she didn't feel down.  She couldn't--at least not while Kakashi was giving her a rather disconcerting look. 

"Whatever, Kakashi."  He chuckled at her dismissal.  

"You never answered my question."  Kakashi prodded.  

"You asked a question?"  For the life of her, if he had indeed asked a question, she couldn't remember it.

"I asked, why do you consider us friends."

The question stumped her.  Why did she consider Kakashi to be her friend?  Was it because they were on the same team?  Because they hadn't made  an attempt to kill each other...well...she had done that to him but he had deserved it for reading porn in her presence.  Her brow furrowed and she lapsed into silence and sunk deep into thought until she realized she was over complicating things.

"Friendship doesn't need a reason.  It just is."

Kakashi gave her an inscrutable look and said, "You're right and a friendship like that can survive anything."  

With his words all the tension that Sakura felt about their upcoming marriage drained out of her.  A smile graced her lips and the rest of their walk was completed in a rather content silence.

Drabble Series: Bound

Chapter One:  Sasuke:  The Clan

 

“So her last name is Ten as well as her first name?”  Mikoto asked cautiously.  “I’ve never heard of the Ten Clan.  Furthermore, her family shows no originality in choosing names.  Sasuke if you have children with this woman then you will not allow her to pick baby names…I’ll do that for you.”

Sasuke muttered under his breath, “Because naming your first born ‘weasel’ is so much better.”

A smirk formed on Itachi’s lips.  “No, mother I believe her name is Tenten—no last name.”

“No last name?”  Fugaku followed, “Then how are we supposed to know if she’s acceptable if we don’t know her family background?  This is a ridiculous plan.”

“You and Mother can always hit the sheets and spit out another kid.”  Itachi suggested.  “They’ll leave the Uchiha clan alone for a while.”

Sasuke’s eyes burned from the mental picture.  “Damn it, Itachi!” 

“What?  I’m sure Mother’s womb hasn’t dried up quite yet.  Father on the other hand…we may have some trouble there.”

“Itachi, dear, do me a favor and sprinkle some arsenic over you dinner.”  Mikoto’s sweet voice replied.

Itachi chuckled and continued speaking as if his mother had said nothing.  “Well since Sasuke shared his news I might as well share mine.  I was contacted by the Hokage as well.  They want me to hand fast with Hyuuga Hinata.  And I must say that a union between the Uchiha Clan and the Hyuuga Clan is the most brilliant idea to ever be suggested.”  Itachi clapped his hands together.  “I’m all for it.  Let the baby making begin!”

The three member s of the  his family looked at Itachi with something that went beyond horror and he’d have it no other way.
