Say you love me

Chapter 1: Taking care

The surrounds are quiet. Only a light breeze could be heard, with the leaves falling around them. Anko's still trying to absorb the news that Kakashi just threw at her. Anko opens her mouth and closes it again. She whispers, "You love me."

Kakashi nods, "Yeah."

Anko lifts her hand but wince. Kakashi lightly puts her hand back to her lap. Anko smiles, "That's what I wanted to hear."

Asuma runs back, "They're here."

Anko lifts up from Kakashi and he slips away. Slowly standing he loses his balance and falls to the floor. Asuma catches him again, "Stop moving Kakashi."

Kakashi pushes Asuma away and stands, "I'm okay."

"No you're not," Anko mutters.

"Like you are," Kakashi turns around.

"Shut up."

Gai and Kurenai emerge from the trees. Gai stands in front of Kakashi, "What happened to my rival?"

"He used too much chakra," Asuma shakes his head and hugs Kurenai.

Kurenai turns to Anko, "What happened to you."

Kakashi points to the right and everyone stares at Kabuto's remaining.

"You over did it," Kurenai says to Kakashi.

Kakashi shrugs, "Let's just get her to medical care."

"I'll carry her!" Gai says.

Kakashi tenses and looks to Anko. Gai walks over and slowly bends. Asuma moves Gai away, "I'll do it."

Gai puts his hands up and steps away. "Go ahead."

Kurenai walks over to Kakashi, "Take these," she says passing him a warrior pill.

Kakashi shakes his head, "I'm fine."

"Kakashi you're extremely low on chakra."

"No I'm good."

"Kakashi, take the pill so we can walk back without you falling over again," Asuma says with Anko passed out on his shoulder.

Kakashi takes the pills and stands with the help of Kurenai. Kakashi turns around and slips the pill in chewing it as he walks.

Gai is walking fairly fast leading the group back home. Behind Gai is Asuma with Anko unconscious. Behind them there are Kakashi and Kurenai. Kurenai is busy talking to Kakashi about more personal things since Asuma doesn't want to. Kurenai turns to Kakashi, "You protected her."

"I did."

"She loves you for that."

Kakashi nods hesitantly. "Thanks."

"Why are you not talking?"

"Because I don't have too," Kakashi mutters.

"Wow, how rude can you be?" Kurenai rolls her eyes.

Kakashi sighs, "What do you want to know?"

"Do you love her?"

Kakashi shrugs, "I don't know."

"You do know."

Kakashi checks his hand since it's in agonizing pain. He tries to move it but he gets no movement out. Kurenai looks at his hand, "Are you okay?"

"My hand is broken that's for sure."

"So are Anko's."

"I know."

They come upon the village rising from the horizon. Tsunade is standing there with Sakura and Pakkun. Pakkun comes trotting over to Kakashi, "Ey boss."

"Hi Pakkun, you're free to go," Kakashi mutters, petting his head.

Pakkun nods and he's gone in seconds. Tsunade is urgently trying to get Asuma to carry Anko to the emergency room. Kakashi stands still watching the four walk away. Kurenai eyes are still glued on Kakashi. "Kakashi, let's get you into the hospital."

Kakashi shakes his head, "I hate hospitals."

"Go for Anko," Kurenai mutters pushing him but he doesn't budge.

Kakashi shrugs and starts walking.

Anko wakes up in the dark room with a light beeping noise in the back ground. She's facing the ceiling and unable to move her injuries. She turns her head to face the room and she sees a faint light from the closed blind shining on Kakashi.

Kakashi looks up from staring at his hands and locks eyes with her. He smiles, "You're finally awake."

"What happened to me?"

"You passed out from the pain," Kakashi says.

"Why are you in here?"

"I slipped past everyone."

Anko smiles and continues to stare at Kakashi. Kakashi hides his smile of relief behinds his mask, but Anko can see it. "I see you smiling."

"Just glad that you're okay," Kakashi whispers.

"Want to get me some dangos?" Anko asks.

"I'm not aloud too."

Anko looks at his hand and find a white cast around it. "Thanks for being there Kakashi."

Kakashi smiles, "You're going to be in here for some time so I'll visit you."

"I want to go home," Anko frowns.

Sakura walks in, "Anko sensei –" Then She then sees Kakashi. "Kakashi sensei what are you doing here?"

"Just checking up on a friend," Kakashi says getting up and waving as he exits the room.

Once he closes the door behind himself, Sakura turns to Anko with a smile, "You're dating Kakashi sensei."

"I'm not."

"I won't tell anyone Anko sensei."

"Let me get out of here and I will tell you."

"You'll need someone to take care of you. You need to stay off your foot."

"Kakashi will do it," Anko mutters.

Sakura squeals. "FINALLY, KAKASHI SENSEI IS-"

"What did I tell you?" Anko screams back.

Kakashi comes knocking in, "Did you tell her?"

Anko smirks. Kakashi sighs and gestures Sakura to the side. She skips over, "Hi Kakashi sensei."

"You keep this a secret," Kakashi says and walks over to Anko. "Let's get going."

Kakashi helps Anko sits up. Anko slugs her arm around Kakashi's neck. Kakashi pulls her off the bed and into his arms. Surprisingly she's still in her fishnet and trench coat. Anko looks at Sakura, "If anyone asks, I ran somewhere and you don't know where. Okay?"

Sakura hesitantly nods. Kakashi nods and kicks the window. The window shatters into pieces and Kakashi jumps out with Anko in his arms. Luckily Kakashi's apartment is close by and they make it there in a few minutes. He opens the door and walks in without a worry. He slowly levers her down onto the bed. She's slowly going to sleep since she can barely keep her eyes open.

Kakashi kisses her forehead, "I'm going to get you some dangos. Stay here or it won't be good for you."

Anko lifts her head, "What are you going to do?"

"Don't worry about it," Kakashi smiles. "I'll be right back."

"Hurry the fuck up then," Anko sighs.

Kakashi nods and exits the door, closing it gently behind him. Once she hears Kakashi exit the door, she sits up the best she can. She swings her legs to the side of the bed, ready to stand until Bull comes and jumps on the bed. Then Shiba jumps onto the bed next to Bull and repeats again for Pakkun. Pakkun eyes Anko, "What are you doing?"

Anko grins, "I'm going to look for food."

Shiba smiles, "Kakashi left some food for you already lady."

"Can I just go and you don't have to tell Kakashi?"

"Where are you even going to go? Kakashi blocked off all the exits and left us with you," Shiba replies.

"Lady, just sit back before Kakashi comes home," Pakkun says.

Anko sighs and lies down facing his ceiling. She hears Pakkun ask, "Why does Kakashi like her?"

Anko peeks at Pakkun, "I heard that mutt."

"Kakashi doesn't like stubborn," Shiba mutters.

"Guys, stop being mean to Kakashi's lady," Bull whimpers.

"Thank you," Anko says.

Kakashi walks back into the room, "Were you planning to go somewhere?"

Anko sits up, "I wasn't, right Kakashi's mutts?"

Pakkun and Shiba look at each other, then at Kakashi. They both nod and quickly disappear. Kakashi sits on the bed, "What did you do to them?"

"Nothing, if you haven't noticed, I'm immobile."

Kakashi smiles, "Sakura will be coming over daily for some checkups."

"Why don't I just get some casts like you do," Anko mutters.

"That's because it's in my job description to take care of you."

"So I'm a chore now?"

"Not necessarily, you're more of a priority."

"That's probably the sweetest thing you said to me," Anko smiles. "I hate it."

Kakashi laughs and sits on the edge of the bed. "I try to change and this is the bullshit I get."

"Yes you did try and that is the bullshit you're getting."

Kakashi stands and walks out of the room, leaving Anko alone in the dark room. She always wonders why Kakashi has this 'let me fuck you' face on at night around her now a days. Kakashi walks back into the room and requests, "Let me give you a bath."

"Do I have a choice?"

"I could leave after I get you in," Kakashi shrugs sounding not too pleased with what he just said.

"Oh, I would have never thought that Kakashi Hatake would say that," Anko teases him. "I think I might take a bath."

Kakashi glares at her, "Ok, first task is to strip you."

"I still need cloths," Anko says kicking him off the bed with her good foot.

Kakashi walks over to his closet and gets out one of his t-shirts. He tosses it to her, "Let's get you naked."

Anko sits up and Kakashi slowly takes off her trench coat. Kakashi drops it on the floor and takes out a kunai to release Anko of her fishnet. He starts at the bottom of her neck sliding the sharp part down her chest, but it doesn't cut her. He slides it all the way down past her breasts and finishes at the bottom.

Kakashi's eyes are glued to hers when he starts to spreads it away from her chest. Kakashi pulls his mask down and kisses her. He moves to her right thigh and does the same. He smirks and takes off his shirt too. She glares at him, "What are you doing?"

"Why do you always think I'm going to do something bad? It's not like I'm going to rape you," Kakashi sighs and picks her up.

"Watch my hand," Anko says as he slowly starts to walk.

He nods, "Don't worry, I've got you."

He walks out of his room with her in his arms and walks into his bathroom. She finds that the room is already warm and steamy when they enter. Anko looks at Kakashi suspiciously, "You're prepared."

A smirk forms on the corner of Kakashi's lips, "Oh you have no idea."

Kakashi lowers her down into the comfortably warm water and sits beside the tub. She relaxes, "Thank you Kakashi. You can leave."

Kakashi doesn't move but keeps his eye on her. He runs his good hand through his messy hair, "You are too much."

"Shut up. You're ruining my peace and quiet," Anko says.

Kakashi reaches for the bar of soap and holds it over her body. "Want me to do the honors?"

Anko opens one eye and stares at Kakashi then to the bar of soap. She closes it again, "You can do it."

Xxxxxx

"I find myself always almost naked around you," Anko mutters.

Kakashi holds her side, "You're almost there so stop complaining."

Anko walks a couple of more steps with her better foot then suddenly loses her balance. Kakashi grabs her in his arms and holds her tightly. Anko looks up at Kakashi, "Thanks."

Kakashi helps her to her foot, "Take it slowly."

When they reach his bed she gives in and falls onto the bed. Kakashi helps her sit up for her to eat some food before Sakura gets here. Kakashi sits by the bed, "What do you want to eat?"

"Chocolate," Anko smirks.

"Actual food Anko," Kakashi says

"I'm not hungry," Anko says. "Well for food at least."

Kakashi looks at the clock, "She'll be here in twenty minutes."

"Then you better start."

AN: So new story. I needed to end it there. Yeah … this story might be bit of filler, but there will be a plot build. Thank you for reading.
