Kana: Kakashi's lost love

By HeartBrokenHitomi

I do not own Naruto or any characters from Naruto. I am not that creative and I wish I was. But hey, we don't always get what we want.

Kana – Kakashi's love, long black hair, mismatch blue and green eyes, thin build, very skilled jounin,

(I know the hair is brown but deal with it. Imagine: black hair)

Kakashi – Kana's love, silver hair that sticks up lol, mask covers most of his face, has a Sharingan in his left eye which he hides with his Hitai-ate, skilled ninja known as the "copy ninja" DUH!

Ok Im gonna shut up now and let you read my story ;)

Chapter 1

He, Kakashi, moved fast among the trees, holding her close to his chest. The stilled nightfall forest uttered no sound. Kana's shirt was reddening with blood, soaking his in the process. She was fighting and had been to slow to dodge a swift blow to the chest dealt by a random demon. The immeasurable cat demon's claw tore into her midsection, hurling her to the ground. She rolled a bit and tried to get up. Iruka got to her first. Iruka then carried her to Kakashi Hatake. He, Iruka, and Kana were the best of friends and roommates who volunteered to help Konoha fend off the feline.

"Kakashi, she's hurt badly!" Iruka's voice screamed over the cry of battle.

The masked ninja quickly ran to them. Iruka handed her gently to Kakashi. Kakashi thanked him with a small nod.

"No let me go! I can still fight!" Kana claimed, strongly disliking being babied. She wiggled, painfully, out of Kakashi's protective grip. Kakashi scowled and looped an arm around her waist, attempting to bring her back into his grasp. Suddenly out of no where a large tail came flying at them. Kakashi was too occupied with Kana's injuries, even his exposed Sharingan didn't notice it. Luckily, Iruka's eyes caught it, and just in time too. Iruka shoved Kakashi, who had a strong grip around Kana, back and jumped away himself. It worked. The tail missed them.

"Kakashi, get her out of here!" Iruka yelled.

"No! Stop it! You guys I can still fight! No! Kakashi, put me down right now!" Kana's attempts were futile. Kakashi didn't need to be told twice by Iruka. He rearranged Kana into a bride style hold and took off.

So here he was, running to the hospital where Kana could get the medical attention she needs. Luckily for Kakashi, Kana had settled down and given up on struggling. She seemed to go limper, like she was going to pass out any minute now.

Suddenly, Kana coughed violently, blood ran down her cheek and spilled out of her lips. Kakashi narrowed his eye. He made a quick decision to pause his rush to the hospital. He landed on the next branch, walking toward the trunk and sitting down so his back was against it, Kana in his lap. His eye looking over her, worried. Her breath was ragged and forced by the sounds and looks of it.

"Hatake-San…!" Kana arched her back in pain and let out a gasp that splurted more blood into the air. Kakashi looked on worried, holding her and whispering sweet things to take her mind of the pain. She was shaking now, her small hands gripping the sleeves he wore so tightly that her knuckles turned a pale white. She whimpered in pain and his grip on her intensified. 'There must have been some poison in the claws of the demon. It must have gotten into her lungs and her bloodstream. 'Kakashi thought grimly. He hoped that the hospital had the antidote. He started to gather her up when.

"Hatake-San…I'm sorry I…was not-"Kakashi tried to hush her as she tried to speak, trembling even more now. Her mismatch green and blue eyes slowly lost their hue.

"You did fine Kana-Chan." Kakashi gently hushed her, moving her black bangs to the side so they didn't interfere with her eyes. His hand moved to caress her cheek. Kakashi was surprised when he felt her smaller hand rest against the back of his, and she nuzzled into his soft touch.

"I am sorry, Hatake-San," tears wet his palm as she cried and squeezed his hand. "I am sorry…maybe my father was right… girls don't make good shinobi" Kana whispered hopelessly. "Heh, I love you Kakashi, but don't let me die or I'm gonna kill you." Kana's other hand cupped his face and stroked the material. Her watery eyes smiled gently and closed slowly as her breath left her in a small sigh. Her hands sipped off his cheek and hand.

When Kakashi was sure that she had passed out, he pulled her closer, burying his face in the crook of her slender neck. He smiled remembering her words. They had only been living with each other for 5 and half months and already they loved each other. Kakashi had been dying to say those words to her or hear it from her.

"I love you too Kana-Chan." Kakashi whispered pulling back and slowly slid his mask down. He smiled and leaned over her unconscious body toward her face. He gently kissed her forehead with his soft but cold lips. He leaned back and brushed some of her bangs away from her closed eyes. Kakashi hesitated, but leaned to give her one last kiss on the lips before pulling his mask up. He collected Kana into his arms again and continued to his destination, the hospital of Konoha. He really didn't trust hospitals but he had no choice since they HAVE the equipment to save her from the poison.

It had been a week since the demon cat attacked Konoha. Luckily, there were no deaths and only some major injuries. Kana was one of them. After the Kyuubi attacked, Konoha had learned its lesson on how to deal with demons. This one was no different, and had been MUCH easier than the fox.

Iruka and Kakashi walked down a long completely white hallway. This had been there second visit to Kana-Chan, more like a summon actually. The hospital called them to calm her down…again. She had been trying to "explain" that she was alright to leave, but they weren't listening. So, she fought them. And she didn't really hold back on one unfortunate doctor. He was black and blue when Kakashi and Iruka had gotten there.

CRASH

"Hm?" Kakashi eyed the door at the end of the hall curiously. He looked to Iruka, who sighed and both quickened their pace.

Iruka pushed the door open.

"-AND WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE HUH? I KNOW IM OK SO YOU BETTER LET ME OUT OR THERE'S GOING TO BE HELL TO PAY!" Kana shouted. She was already dressed in her torn bloody ninja attire from the night she was emitted into the hospital. Four doctors and nurses had their arms locked on her arms, waist and even one clutched her jacket, all trying to drag her back to bed. She was dragging them! Kana took one step at a time, straining to get to the door.

"Please! Miss, your not ready to leave!" the doctors pleaded.

"I'm damn well ready to leave. I have had enough of this place! Just let me go! Please!" she was two feet from the door now. The two doctors exchanged looks. Do what needs to be done. As Kana was taking her next step, the doctors stuck a foot out and tripped her.

"WHOA!" Kana landed with a light thump. "Damn it… Come on, just let me go, if I can f-ing drag four of you then I'm sure I can go!" she whined.

"Kana, you're free to go."

"Eh?" Kana looked up at the door, where the voice came from. Kakashi and Iruka were chuckling at her attempt to leave. She frowned.

"Seriously?" they nodded.

"That's why we are here. Now hurry up because Iruka will be late for his class and I'm already an hour late for practice with Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto." Kakashi eye smiled at Kana.

"Did you hear that? I can go, now get off me!" Kana growled and shook of the doctors and nurses. She stood up and followed Kakashi and Iruka out of the evil room and back down the hallway. Halfway down Kakashi stopped. Kana cocked her head to the side, curiously. Swiftly, Kana felt her back against a wall and her shirt being lifted up. She immediately, out of instinct and reaction, tried to keep her shirt down by pulling on the end of it.

"Hey, what gives!" she yelped as Kakashi's cold hand glided up her shirt anyway. Kakashi didn't answer her. His hand kept going up. Finally it stopped when his finger tips reached the bottom of her bra. He gently pressed his cold fingertips into her warm skin, causing her to shiver. Kakashi dragged his hand slowly back down. He felt her stomach muscles tense. She hissed suddenly. Kakashi had found her wound. It started at her top left side, just below her bra, and ended at her right hip. He had just hit the middle of it. And obviously it still hurt.

"If it still hurts, then why do you want to leave so bad?" Iruka sighed, watching the scene from a distance.

"Because I hate being-" Kana started but Kakashi interrupted.

"It doesn't matter. Sakura could probably heal it a bit more. I just wanted to make sure that it wasn't open or bleeding." Kakashi explained and pulled his hand out from under her shirt. Kana and Iruka scoffed. Kakashi just shrugged and started walking out.

"Grr…that pervert!" Kana hissed angrily readjusting her shirt. Now it was Iruka's time to shrug.

"You didn't put up much of a fight either…" he smirked and walked off.

"Feh" she followed Iruka, still pissed and blushing.

Once Kana was checked out of the hospital, the first thing they did was drop off Iruka. A few goodbyes and see you soons, and then Kakashi and Kana headed home so Kana could change out of her bloody torn clothes.

"So, what's today's practice focused on?" Kana called out, from her room, to Kakashi who was currently in the kitchen and not listening.

It was a small apartment for 3 people. The living room and kitchen were connected, and 1 bathroom between the kitchen and the rooms. In the kitchen, was a refrigerator, a stove and a microwave, then in the living room was a single black long couch and a TV in front of it. There were two separate rooms, the bedrooms Kakashi's room and then Kana's room. Iruka liked the living room. Kana, being who she is, practically begged him to have her room and she would take the living room/kitchen when she moved in but Iruka would hear none of it. He just smiled and joked, "If you live with Kakashi Hatake, a pervert, your going to want privacy."

"Hm?" Kakashi replied, still not listening, reading Icha Icha Paradise.

"I said, "What are we doing today in practice?" Kana repeated, closing her door and appearing in the living room entrance.

"You'll see. Although I don't think you will like the outcome." was Kakashi's dead response. Kana had a confused look on her face.

"Outcome of what, why won't I like it?" Kana asked uncertainly, grabbing her apartment keys, walking toward the door to head out since they were more than two hours late for Team 7's meeting.

"Because," Kakashi closed his book, tucked it into his jacket, and stood up, walking toward Kana. Kana watched him slowly close the distance between them, step by step. She felt her heart beat faster in her chest. She backed up confused, inch by inch, till her back hit the door to their apartment. Kakashi propped his arm above her head. He looked down at her with an unreadable expression. Another reason why Kana hated his mask… Kakashi bent his head down, gently bumping foreheads with her while another arm snaked its way around her waist, pulling her closer. He closed his eye, taking in her strawberry scent. Kakashi smiled a bit, feeling her heart pounding against his chest. He really had her this time. This was the closest thing Kakashi ever did to say, I love you. Both knew that the other was in love with them. Both knew it, for a good year now, but both didn't know how to say it. And both didn't want to be hurt by the other. It's a very complicated relationship. Anyway, Kakashi was totally taken back (without losing his composure) when he felt her fingers start to peel away his mask. He looked down at her, unsure if he wanted this. He never showed his face to anyone…except Iruka. When your life buddies, it's ok, but when you're with a girl who you have only known for a half a year, it becomes if-y. She must have felt his uneasiness because she stopped. Her blue and green eyes looked deep into his one visible steel-blue eye…he felt as if she was really looking into his soul. Both felt the passion and lust building between them.

"Close your eyes." It wasn't a request. It was a demand. In which she complied.

Kana slowly closed her eyes. Merely seconds later, Kakashi's lips were against hers. His kiss was gentle at first, as if testing if she would pull away. Her small hands clutched his sleeves as she deepened the kiss by leaning into it. His own hands traveled down her sides before he picked her up and pinned her with his body against the door, her legs on either side of him. A soft moan escaped past her lips as Kakashi traced from her mouth to her jawline in soft butterfly kisses. Kana arched her back, exposing her neck to Kakashi's soft kisses… Kakashi growled slightly and moved back up to reclaim her lips. He dragged his tounge across her bottom lip. She eagerly let him explore her mouth. Both were caught up in the moment, letting the love and lust that had been building up for the past months take control of them.

"Kakashi…" Kana moaned in his mouth when she felt his cold hand travel up her shirt for the second time today. Again, he sensed her sides tensing up, and he had just reached her bra when-

KNOCK KNOCK

"Eh! Kakashi-sensei! Are you in there?"

Kakashi and Kana immediately stopped the whole make out scene. Kakashi backed away from the door, letting Kana down. He pulled his mask up before she could get a look, not that she was trying to or anything, he tapped her on the shoulder to tell her it was alright to open her eyes.

Naruto was still banging away at the door, hoping to get some sort of response. To bad, Kakashi and Kana were panting to catch their breath soon so there was no suspicion from the blonde.

"Naruto-kun, we will be another minute." Kana managed to wheeze out. She turned, casting her gaze on Kakashi. He was quiet, and seemed out of focus. "Kakashi lets go…" He nodded. Kana, who has caught her breath, opened to door after stooping down to grab her dropped keys. Once the door was open, she heard a gasp and nearly lost her breath again from a tackle from the blonde.

"Haha So Kakashi-sensei really did get you! Kana-san, it's really good to see you! Are you going on our mission with us?" Naruto all but screamed out in joy.

"Eh Naruto-kun what mission?" Kana asked wincing from Naruto's tackle.

"No mission. You're not going." Kakashi grumbled, having seen the wince, and dragged Naruto off Kana. Both looked at Kakashi like he had three heads. "I'm serious. This is a dangerous mission. You were hurt once this month, we don't need another week of you causing the hospital staff hell. That's final."

"Danger, ha, I laugh in the face of danger hahaha!" Kana mimicked Nala from The Lion King, adding a scowl in Kakashi's direction.

"Not this time." Kakashi returned the scowl with a bored look, calmly walking out into the hall. Naruto and Kana exchanged looks and scampered after him to follow him outside.

"Hey! What about all the times when you were injured? That is a double whammy! And what makes it ok for YOU to decide when I go on a mission or not? HUH? I am A-ok to go on a mission, even if its 'dangerous'." Kana snapped, skidding to a stop in front of Kakashi, blocking his way. Kakashi narrowed his eye.

"The moment my teammate is injured, enough to be in the hospital for a week, is when I decide that she isn't going on a mission. Why can't you accept that I'm looking out for you?" Kakashi growled back totally furious with her at the moment, not understanding her point of view.

"You are doing no such thing, you're just babying me. And I'm fed up with it. You're worse than my father!" She screamed at him, throwing out her arms to make her point. Many bystanders were huddling around them, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura among them. "Tell me, Kakashi, why are you so damn worried about me? Why? There is only one reason isn't there?" Kakashi averted his heated gaze to the crowd. 'Yeah, because I love you dumb ass…' he sighed at his thought.

"Yeah, that's what I thought. Don't think I DON'T know the reason...I know… it's because I'm a kunoichi. Why can't you just admit it, my father has. Wait, I know that one too... you can't answer me because you know I'm right… you coward! You can't even stand to look at me!" Kana huffed and barely whispered the last part, "That's it. I have to go…' By now, Kakashi's anger was flared past its limits.

"Look who's a coward now. Running with your tail between your legs…Again! How just like you…You know what, your just proving that your father's words were right. Girls like you just make pathetic ninja!" Kakashi snapped with out thinking. He glared at her back, watching her pick up her pace. Kakashi turned, only to face Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke. Each of them with scowls on their faces.

"What?" he spat, already knowing the answer.

"What the hell is wrong with you? You just made the biggest mistake of your life!" Naruto spat back with just as much fury.

"This mistake is going to bite you back in the ass! I cant believe you!" Sakura shouted. Kakashi huffed and turned to go into another direction only to have that way blocked by the Fifth Hokage, who was also scowling. Attempting to avoid her, Kakashi turned a fourth direction, not following Kana, not toward his students and defiantly not toward the Hokage. But unfortunately for him, there was Iruka with his students. Kakashi stopped abruptly.

"What the hell are you doing here?" snapped Kakashi.

"Field Trip, but then I over heard yelling so I came to investigagte. Oh, by the way, nice going, dip shit." Iruka whispered the last part harshly.

There was no other way to turn.

"Kakashi, come with me to my office. Right now." Tsunade barked angrily.

"What the hell is wrong with you? I specifically asked for you to fetch Kana so your team 7 can take on this mission. Sakura and Sasuke came to me to tell me that you had not shown up. I go to check on you, assuming you had problems checking Kana out, and then I find you two bitching at each other! Damn it, I need you two on this mission. Team 7 is the only team not on a mission and not with a critically injured teammate!" Tsunade slammed open the doors to her office, and stormed over to her chair, flopping into it. He followed, quietly, pondering the questions Tsunade would ask. The sooner this was done, the better, not to mention he had a mission to accomplish. She placed a hand around her forehead, over her eyes and sighed.

"What happened, Kakashi?" she asked softly.

"Kana over-reacted." He replied bluntly.

"Why?"

"She assumed I'm 'babying her' because I said she can't go on this mission."

"…is that all you said?"

Kakashi narrowed his eye. He hadn't been expecting this question.

"No"

"What did you say?"

"I plead the fifth."

Tsunade looked up, surprised, "Are you serious?"

"Quite."

"That bad huh?" Tsunade sighed again, "Well, I don't really care. Whether YOU like it or not, Kana is needed on this mission. She will go with you. Your new pre-mission, is to find her and convince her to go. You'll need her with you, Kakashi. Now hurry, you have already wasted a lot of time."

Without another word, Kakashi disappeared.
