The night wind was slightly cool, ruffling Kurenai Yuhi's long, slightly curled hair.
Her warm, crimson eyes trembled as they reflected the man she had been longing for.
"Y-You, why are you here?"
Kakashi's appearance was too sudden, catching Kurenai off guard.
"Sorry. Since the Kazekage and Tsuchikage arrived in Konoha today, I needed to accompany them for dinner tonight."
Kakashi didn't answer why he came, but rather explained why he had arrived so late.
"Ah, oh, t-then come in."
Kurenai stared blankly at Kakashi standing before her.
So... so that was it...
It wasn't that Kakashi didn't like her and deliberately didn't come, but because there were important guests in the village and he couldn't get away.
Yet, even after such a tiring day, he was still willing to come see her.
Kurenai looked at the cold food on the table and said nervously, "Sit down first, I'll go heat up the food..."
As soon as the words left her mouth, Kurenai felt something was wrong.
Kakashi had come after eating...
Was she being stupid wanting to heat the food?
"Go ahead and heat it. I didn't eat much with those two; just did a lot of drinking."
"Besides, you haven't eaten either, right?"
Kakashi didn't lie to the woman before him. He indeed had dinner with the two Kage, and had drunk quite a bit of sake.
"Mhm."
Kurenai gave a soft hum, picked up the plates, and walked into the kitchen.
As the microwave started, Kurenai hid in the kitchen, leaning her whole body against the refrigerator, afraid to face Kakashi in the living room.
She had been so bold during the day, but now that night had come and the moment was here, Kurenai felt a bit of hesitation in her heart.
However, since Kurenai didn't dare face him, and Kakashi noticed she hadn't come out for a long time, he took the initiative to walk into the kitchen.
"What are you thinking about?"
Kakashi looked with some amusement at Kurenai, who was hiding in the kitchen like a turtle shrinking into its shell.
"I..."
Seeing the man at the kitchen doorway, Kurenai subconsciously took a step back. The cold sensation against her back told her she was pinned against the refrigerator.
"Wasn't the Kurenai from earlier today very forward?"
Kakashi approached step by step, making Kurenai's heart race like a deer.
The man's palm pressed against the refrigerator, blocking her escape route.
"I... I didn't know you would actually come."
She didn't dare look directly into Kakashi's slightly heated gaze.
"Kurenai looks... very beautiful tonight."
Compared to the daytime, Kurenai had applied special makeup. The pale purple eyeshadow accentuated her crimson eyes, making them captivating, and her lips were painted with lipstick that made one unable to resist wanting to kiss them.
Kurenai really was very beautiful.
Kakashi's deep voice rang in her ears, bringing a sweetness to her heart. She subconsciously looked up at Kakashi, who was already right in front of her.
She gazed into Kakashi's pitch-black eye.
Whether it was an illusion or not, she suddenly thought of that gentle, lovely girl in her memories who always smiled brightly.
"Rin?"
Kurenai didn't know Kakashi's eye belonged to Rin; she just said it out of nowhere.
Kakashi's movements paused slightly, and he chuckled softly.
"Is it that easy to spot?"
"This eye is indeed Rin's..."
So Kurenai can detect the owner of this eye, yet that guy Obito couldn't?
However, that didn't matter right now.
"Is it... Rin's eye..."
Kurenai spoke somewhat dazedly.
But...
The hand that had been pressing against the fridge to block her exit now grasped her hand. As their fingers interlaced, Kurenai's heart tightened. The warmth from Kakashi's palm made her unsteady on her feet.
"Who are you waiting for?"
The man's breath brushed against her face as he spoke, causing Kurenai to close her eyes instinctively.
Seeing Kurenai acting like a frightened deer, Kakashi found it quite amusing.
She was so bold during the day, yet so shy at night.
"Waiting... for you."
The shy words left Kurenai's mouth, but a sudden sensation of weightlessness made her cry out in surprise.
Kakashi had scooped her up in a princess carry. Kurenai instinctively hooked her arms around his neck to keep from falling.
"Aren't... aren't you going to eat?"
Kurenai asked dryly, looking at Kakashi before her.
She already knew what was going to happen next.
This made her feel shy, but also held a thread of anticipation.
Her beautiful eyes fixed tightly on the man before her, and she spoke in a soft voice that made one's heart tingle:
"Go... go to the room..."
Facing Kurenai's request, Kakashi naturally didn't refuse. Holding Kurenai in his arms, he walked directly into her bedroom.
The bedroom was dark; the interior was only visible by the moonlight through the window.
Contrary to Kakashi's expectations—he thought a woman like Kurenai would have a simple room—even in the moonlight, he could see a lot of girly pink.
The sheets and quilt were colors that revealed a maiden's heart, which was a bit of a contrast to Kurenai's personality.
"W-What are you looking at..."
In Kakashi's arms, Kurenai's face was so red it looked like it might bleed.
In this bedroom where she had lived for twenty years, her first time...
"Looking at you..."
Kakashi gently placed Kurenai on the bed. Kurenai looked at the man standing by the bed, her gaze fixed on him for a long time, as if he would disappear if she looked away.
Under the moonlight, accompanied by the whoosh of the white Hokage robe emblazoned with flames falling quietly to the floor, Kurenai's heart skipped a beat.
The man leaned down, planting kisses one after another on Kurenai's forehead, hair, eyes, cheeks, lips...
And all the way down...
Unknowingly, her clothes had been removed by the man before her.
Everything she was lay exposed before Kakashi.
Her fair body, which even the dark night could not conceal...
As time quietly passed, it began to rain in Konoha. The sound of the rain masked the blushing moans, masked the pain of a girl transforming into a woman, the joy, the pleasure...
[Kurenai Yuhi Emotional Fluctuation +1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1-+1+1+1+1... +1+1...]
Midnight.
On the messy bed, Kurenai, who had just become a woman, curled up in Kakashi's solid embrace. She looked at the man before her with blurred eyes, her soft body seeming to want to melt into his arms.
"Do you want to bathe?"
Kakashi's whisper came to her ear.
Kurenai was about to get up but let out a cry of surprise as she was carried toward the bathroom by Kakashi.
Unknowingly, the rain that had just stopped began to fall again...
The rain grew heavier, seemingly with no intention of stopping...
"Mmn..."
By the time the sky began to brighten, Kurenai didn't know how she had returned to the bed.
But the man beside her gave her the most reliable sense of security.
Feeling the exhaustion and satisfaction in her body, she curled up in Kakashi's arms like a cat, kissing the man who captivated her...
