Hey guys!
First off I'd like to say that this is a spin off to "Life of a Blooming Flower" but it's more focused on how Sayuri and Kakashi met. I will still be writing the other story so don't worry :D
This won't be a long story, mainly because it's a spin off. So it might be 10 to 20 chapters I don't know yet.
I don't own Naruto! Only Sayuri!
So without further ado, on with the story :D
If you had asked me what love was back then, I'd tell you that love was something that kept you warm and made you feel safe inside.
If you had asked me what it was right now, I'd tell you that love was something that could end you and threatened your loved ones.
This story isn't really about me; it was about a boy that I had fallen in love with. Kakashi Hatake.
Chapter One
"A flower cannot blossom without sunshine and man cannot live without love"
-Max Muller
My mother always told me, love at first sight was an amazing and rare thing. She told me that when you lock eyes with a person and your heart stops that's when you know you're in love.
Well that happened to me.
On the first day of school, I had met Rin and Obito. They were my first real friends. Rin had always been the nicest and sweetest one in our group while Obito was the most loudest and cheerful one. I was the quietest and shyest of the group, mainly because I never really had friends before, due to the fact that I and my mother always moved around to different villages.
On one spring day, I was walking with Rin. She had planned on showing me a cherry blossom that only blossoms on a certain season each year.
"I think you'll love the tree, Sayuri-chan." Rin said while smiling at me.
We had finally arrived to the place where the tree was. I looked up and saw the most beautiful tree ever. But I noticed something odd about it.
There was a boy with silver hair sitting among one of the branches of the tree.
I looked over to Rin, "Who is he?" I asked. I saw that Rin was blushing. She shook off her dazed look and turned towards me.
"That's Kakashi Hatake." she said, while sneaking another peak at him.
I raised an eyebrow. He looked about the same age as us, maybe a year older. But I never saw him in any of my classes.
"You're probably wondering why you don't see him class, aren't you?" Rin asked, giggling.
I nodded. "Yeah, did he already graduate?"
"Yupp, he was the smartest one in our class, so he was bumped up to the grade level above us."
Wow, just how smart was he?
Sensing someone staring at him, he opened his eyes and looked straight at me.
My heart stopped, my voice caught my throat. The whole world stopped when he laid his eyes on me.
He was the most handsome boy I have ever seen. His black eyes were casting a spell on me, hypnotizing me into its on abyss.
I felt heat rushing up my neck to meet my cheeks. He broke our eye contact when he jumped off the branch and stood in front of us.
"What are you staring at, idiot?" He said coldly.
I gasped and averted my gaze "N-nothing."
He scoffed "Yeah right whatever, just move out of my way." I did as I was told and moved aside to let him through.
I watched him walk off in silent. I felt a hand on my shoulder; I stiffened and looked over at Rin.
She smiled "Don't worry about Kakashi-kun. He's always like that."
I nodded and smiled back. "We should head back. Obito is probably waiting for us at the dango shop. You know how he is."
We both laughed and headed towards the village to go meet up with him.
Unaware of a certain sliver head boy following them.
-Two months later-
It had been a while since I first saw Kakashi. My heart even fluttered when I think about him. I had told my mother about him. Telling her how the world stopped when I met his eyes.
"Its love at first sight." she told me, giving me a kiss on the forehead.
I didn't know what love was. I was only thirteen for crying out loud! I shouldn't be thinking about love, I was too young.
"You're never too young to experience love, darling." mother told me.
My mother and father met when she was fourteen and he was sixteen. She told me that she fell in love with him that first time he saw him. Both of them had gotten close after getting to know each other. I mean they got married when she turned sixteen. And after being married for two years, I showed up. Mom told me that I was the best thing that ever happened to her and dad. But something happened right after I was born. Father had been off on a mission, when he got killed. My mother was so devastated. The love of her life was gone. The only thing she had left of him was me. My mother cherished me with her whole heart until this day.
-Four months later-
Today was the day we were assigned on teams. I was on a team with Might Gai and Anko Mitarashi. They were both fun to be around, especially Gai.
I had heard that Rin and Obito got on a team with Kakashi. I was both jealous and sad, one reason being that they would always be around him and the other reason was that I wasn't one their team.
Gai came over to me and wrapped an arm over my shoulder. "What do you say me and you go train? We can become stronger and more youthful together!"
My sweat dropped. If that was a wait for him to flirt with a girl, I'd hate to see what he would be like dating a girl.
I smiled weakly at him. "No thanks Gai-san. I have other things to do right now."
Gai frowned but nodded understanding.
When I started walking away, I swear I heard him say "I'll get you one day! Just you wait Sayuri; I'll make you fall in love with my power of youth!"
I sighed. Could this day get any weirder?
I was walking to the dango shop when I saw Kakashi with a girl, who seemed to be one of his fan girls confessing her love for him.
"I don't want to hear anymore of your annoying voice, just go away." I heard him say.
The girl started crying and ran away from him yelling "I hate you Kakashi Hatake!" all the way down the street.
I frowned. That poor girl. He never does consider to just try it out with a girl.
"What are you staring at, girl?"
I froze and looked up at him. His eyes were as cold as ever. I felt my confidence show a little.
"Why do you always have to be so cold, Hatake?! Can't you be nice to a girl for once in your life!? Why do you have to be such a jackass to girls?!" I snapped.
He narrowed his eyes. His aura changed quickly. I felt goose bumps appear on my arms.
"What did you just call me, brat?" he growled out.
My eyes widen. I was in deep shit now. "I-I didn't mean to call you that! I promise you it just slipped out on accident!" I cried out.
He rolled his eyes "Sure, like I believe that. Next time you better watch your back. You don't want to mess with me. I'm a higher up, so don't be treating me like you can say whatever you want to me. People like you annoy me. Girls are all the same. You're all weak, stupid, and careless." He turned around and spoke again "Now stay out of my way and leave me the hell alone." and with that he left.
My heart was beating so fast. I've never felt so scared and heart broken in my life.
My crush had called me annoying and weak.
I felt a tear escape my eye, and soon after that, more ran down my face like a waterfall.
I was numb, I couldn't move. I felt someone grab my arm.
"Sayuri? Are you alright?" It was Obito.
I turned around to face him. He gasped. "He, he called me weak Obi. He thinks, thinks I'm annoying."
Obito frowned and pulled me into a warm hug. "It'll be alright Sayu; I will make sure he pays for what he's down to you. I promise you. You have my word."
And with that I cried into his shirt. Wishing the pain of my broken heart would go away. But deep down inside of me, I knew it was going away because I still loved him no matter what pain he caused me.
Sometimes I wonder why girls are attracted to cold-hearted boys. Me being one of them, I still don't know the answer.
People, who are usually cold to other people, always end up having a story behind it. A story that changed them.
I had asked many people about Kakashi and what had made him so cold towards people.
I went to his sensei, which was no other than the 'Yellow Flash' of Konoha, Minato Namikaze.
"Namikaze-san, can I have a word with you?" I asked shyly.
He smiled "Of course, Sayrui-san. What is it?"
I suddenly felt nervous, but pushed it aside quickly "Why is Kakashi-san so cold towards everyone? Did something happen to him?"
Minato raised his eyebrow "Why do you ask?"
"I want to help him. He seems lonely and he needs a friend to talk to." I said fiddling with my thumps.
He sighed. He couldn't say no to the little girl. And truth be told, he wanted Kakashi to be more open to him and his teammates.
"It's not place to tell you, but I'll tell you since I trust you will make him more open to people."
I looked up at him with hope in my eyes.
"Well you see, it's his father." Minato said scratching the back of his head.
My eyes widen. "What happened to his father, Namikaze-san?"
He looked me straight in the eyes. "His father killed himself."
I gasped "Why?"
"During a mission, he saved a teammate rather than finishing the job he was suppose to do. He was hated by the whole village. They isolated themselves from him, leaving him to be alone and no one to stand by his side. And one day he couldn't take it anymore and he took his life."
My eyes widen. How could the village be so cruel towards their own comrade?
Minato sighed. "When Kakashi found his dad lying on the floor, lifeless. I think he changed and became cold and angry towards the people in the village because of what they made his father do to himself. Sayuri, you need to comfort Kakashi. He needs someone like you. Someone who can care and treat him like a true friend."
I blushed and nodded. "I'll do it Namikaze-san. I'll help him."
He smiled and ruffled my hair. "Alright, I believe in you. You should get going now. It's getting pretty late."
I furrowed my brows and looked up at the sky. The sun was setting. Wow, time can fly by pretty fast.
"Ya, you're right. Have a good night. Namikaze-san!"
He waved goodbye and strolled away.
I started walking away towards the direction of my house. I will help you Kakashi, because I love you.
And for the first time in my life I finally understood what love was. Love was caring and cherishing someone or something that brings happiness to you. And one day, I'll show him what love is.
Wow! I got this all done tonight XD
I don't know if Gai and Anko were in any teams so…I just put them with Sayuri :D
Well..I guess that's all :P
See ya!
