Land of Snow
They had just started dating seriously. Kakashi and Rai. He told her he was going away on a long mission with the genin to the Land of Snow.
Rai found herself at his place the night before he would leave. She helped him pack, got his clothes out when he was in the shower. She made his favorite meal for dinner, salt broiled saury and miso soup with eggplant. Not without some difficulty.
She stayed the night, sleeping next to him in his bed.
It was time he got up. She helped him get ready. Handing him his belt and equipment, helping him with his headband, assisting him with his vest and zipping it up. She placed her hands on his chest as she shyly looked up at him. He smiled gently down at her.
How she wanted to lean up and kiss him. Her eyes darted from his face and lips down to her hands as she smoothed the material of his vest.
Kakashi noticed, his hand settled on her waist as his other slipped up and hooked around the fabric of his mask. He pulled it down as Rai glanced up through a lowered head. When she realized what he was doing, she tilted her head up. He leaned down and placed a kiss on her lips. Rai kissed him back.
It was a brief kiss. But a sweet one. A content smile crossed both of their faces when they pulled back.
"Be safe." Rai muttered as Kakashi slipped his mask back up. "Stay warm." She mentioned, cupping his cheek. "And I will be here waiting for you." Rai stood on her toes, placing her forehead against his. They closed their eyes. "I love you." Kakashi placed a kiss on her forehead before pulling away. He slipped out of her hold to grab the scarf he would bring for the cold. Slipping on his cloak, he prepared to leave as he slipped his backpack on.
Rai and he made their way to the front door. Kakashi pulled his winter sandals on.
Rai gave him one last look over. Her hands brushing his shoulders, chest, before one hand cupped his face again. They smiled at each other before she slipped her arms around his neck and hugged him. His arms wrapping around her waist, pulling her form to his.
"I love you," Rai told him again.
"I love you too." Kakashi whispered into her ear. "Stay as long as you need." He assured her, letting her know that his place was open for her.
Pulling back, Rai cupped his face, placing a gentle peck on his masked lips. "Be safe." She said again.
Kakashi took her hands in his, placed kisses on her palms, then on her knuckles before he slipped out the door.
---
He had gotten back, she was out on patrol. The moment she got back, she made a beeline to his place. When he opened the door, she leapt into his arms, her arms wrapping around his neck. He staggered back, able to catch his balance and wrapped one arm around her while he closed the door. He buried his nose in her shoulder as he held her.
"I'm so glad you're back." Rai muttered. Her voice cracked as she tried to not cry.
"Such a welcome home, maybe I should leave more often." He teased. Nah. He wouldn't do that to her. They held each other.
They were only dating for a little over a month. Parting hurt like hell, but reuniting was so so sweet. They were still learning about each other, each other's quirks and boundaries, their mannerisms.
Kakashi was always a gentleman. Quiet, gentle, patient, and reliable. He would hold her hand and guide her through this. He was very gentle when he guided her, watching her reactions like a hawk.
Rai felt like she was blunt and clumsy when it came to affection and their relationship. She was nowhere near as experienced nor as knowledgeable. Kakashi always was smooth and graceful with his affection. Rai was sporadic, sometimes catching him off guard with her affection.

A live-action film adaptation of Masashi Kishimoto's Naruto manga is in the works at Lionsgate.
Destin Daniel Cretton, who co-wrote and directed the Marvel Studios movie Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, has been tapped to pen and helm a live-action adaptation of the title for Lionsgate.
Cretton will also produced alongside Jeyun Munford through his company, Hisako. The duo join Avi Arad, Ari Arad and Emmy Yu of Arad Productions, who are behind the studio’s upcoming video game adaptation Borderlands, and Jeremy Latcham (Dungeons & Dragons).
Cretton has Kishimoto’s blessing, something bestowed upon him after a visit to Tokyo.
“When I heard of Destin’s attachment, it happened to be right after watching a blockbuster action film of his, and I thought he would be the perfect director for Naruto,” said Kishimoto in a statement. “After enjoying his other films and understanding that his forte is in creating solid dramas about people, I became convinced that there is no other director for Naturo. In actually meeting Destin, I also found him to be an open-minded director who was willing to embrace my input, and felt strongly that we would be able to cooperate together in the production process.”
