Surrender

Chapter 1: Independence Takes a Toll

AN: So I'm typing this right after chapter 8 of the last story since I really have nothing else to do but type. Yeah my life is boring. Enjoy!

"Kakashi, you seriously doubled everything," Anko says astonished at his new apartment. "I thought you were joking."

Kakashi smiles and hugs her waist from behind. "It was on sale."

Anko laughs loudly, "No wonder."

Kakashi walks her in, going past everything and into his bedroom. Anko pushes Kakashi off of her and she lands on the now larger bed. She crawls to his pillows and just lies there. Kakashi walks around the bed and to her. He bends to his knees to be leveled with her, "Tired?"

Anko nods since she just came back from a mission, a mission to retrieve some intelligence on Orochimaru. Genma was originally supposed to go, but Anko somehow talked Tsunade into letting her go instead. Kakashi helps her out of her coat and he sees a bunch of cuts in her fishnet. Concern strikes his eyes, "Anko get up."

She pushes his face away from her, "No."

"Anko let me see your wounds."

"No."

Kakashi's mouth presses into a hard line and his eyes are now filled with anger. He lifts her from the bed and walks her to the bathroom. He forces her to stand, but she lazily leans against him anyways. He takes out his kunai and rips Anko out of her damaged fishnet armor. He inspects her and the wounds are scattered over her body, but they aren't deep enough to need medical attention. Any shinobi can walk out of it but since it's Kakashi he needs to tend them.

Kakashi turns on the water to his tub and makes it warm. He places her in lightly and she looks at Kakashi, "I'm okay."

"Bullshit," Kakashi's voice still stern.

Anko smiles, "Did you miss me?"

Kakashi's eyes soften. He nods, "I did somewhat."

Anko closes her eyes, "I missed you."

Kakashi sits in silence after just staring at her. After five minutes, Kakashi drains the water and Anko dries off. He lends her one of his t-shirts which is way too large for her, but she doesn't mind since he did take it off of his back. She pulls up his mask like always and pulls the covers to her chin.

"Are you feeling okay?"

Anko nods, "Just tired."

Kakashi nods, "I'll wake you up at dinner."

Kakashi pulls down her mask and kisses her lightly since he is maskless. He gets up and walks to the door, taking another look at Anko before closing it. He walks past his living room and into his kitchen. He looks around and he decides to cook her dinner before she wakes.

Xxxxxx

"Wake up," Kakashi whispers to Anko.

"No," Anko drowsily says.

"I cooked you dinner."

"I don't care. Let me sleep," Anko murmurs digging her head into his pillow.

Kakashi frown. He kisses her cheek and her eyes flutter open. He smirks, "C'mon let's go eat."

Anko sighs and slowly chambers out of bed. Kakashi lets her go first. He puts his hands over his eyes. She punches his stomach, "Let go of me."

Kakashi ignores the punch and walks over to the table in the kitchen with Anko punching him. He lets go of her head and allows her to take in the surroundings. All she sees are two plates of rice and beef, two bottles of sake and a candle in the middle making it more romantic.

Kakashi takes the seat out for Anko. She sits, "This is… nice."

He sits on the other side, "I guess."

She starts her dinner with a take of sake. "I'm tired."

"After you eat you can sleep. Do you want me to take you home?"

Anko shakes her head, "I want to stay with you tonight."

"Okay good. I wasn't going to take you back anyways."

"Why is that?"

"Let me tell you a secret."

"Go on."

"I missed you so…"

Anko smiles widely. "Thank you for dinner."

"I'd do anything for you."

"You say that a lot now."

Kakashi shrugs, "It isn't a crime."

"Soon it will be," Anko sighs.

"Why is that?"

"I'll make it one."

Kakashi finishes his meal right after Anko does. He stands up, grabbing both their plates and head for the sink. Kakashi places the plates in the sink and he looks to the table. Anko has disappeared into the bathroom. Kakashi cleans the rest of the table and walks into her bathroom with her. She's brushing her teeth with his toothbrush. He stares at her in the mirror, "Ready to go to bed?"

She nods. Kakashi walks up to her and wraps his arms around her waist. He kisses her neck. Anko spits and pushes him away, "You're coming to sleep with me right?"

"I have too. I have work tomorrow."

"I got a day off," Anko says spitting water again.

"So they send you on a week-long mission for only a day off?"

Anko shrugs, "That's what Tsunade gave me."

"That's steep. Take my days."

"No. I don't get to spend time with you otherwise."

"You just want to tease me."

"Or because I like you," Anko smiles and walks out.

Kakashi picks her up from behind and throws her over his shoulder. He rushes into his bedroom and drops her onto the bed. "Go to sleep," He says pointing at her.

Anko crawls to the top as Kakashi walks out to brush his teeth. Anko lies in the dark alone. She feels a chill of wind go through the room but the window isn't open. She felt this before when she was with Orochimaru. She pushes the thought of being here away and tries to sleep. Kakashi walks in and stares at Anko. He knows something is wrong immediately.

He walks around to the other side of the bed and gets in. He puts his arm around Anko's waist and pulls her close, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah," Anko mumbles.

"I'll drop you off in the morning."

"Sure."

Kakashi tightens his grip on her, "I really missed you."

Anko turns around and places her head on his chest. "I missed you a bit too."

Kakashi rubs her back and he slowly drifts into a slumber. Anko lies away, listening to Kakashi's faint heartbeat in the silence. She thinks back to the mission, where she met up with Kabuto. He tortured her, physically and mentally. She gave no information on anything they asked though and Orochimaru knew that resulting in letting her go. One thing that hurt the most was they brought Kakashi into play.

-Flashback-

The room is dark only lit by a few candles. The walls and floors are a cold stone. She's hanging from the ceiling by her hands tied to a panel of wood tied to the ceiling.

"We know you're dating Kakashi," Kabuto whispers into her ear.

Orochimaru sits there staring at her. "We can use his eye."

"No! You're not hurting Kakashi," Anko says.

Kabuto slices her back again making her scream in pain. She ignores the pain as Kakashi's smiling pops in her mind. Kabuto says, "Shut up Miss. Anko."

"Shut the fuck up Kabuto," Anko spits out with disgust.

Kabuto slash at her arm. She screams out again. Orochimaru eyes Kabuto, "Stop Kabuto."

Kabuto drops the kunai and steps back. Orochimaru continues, "Leave Kabuto."

Kabuto nods and disappears into a smoke cloud. Orochimaru stares at Anko, "You like Kakashi?"

Anko stares at the stone floor. She looks up with regained confidence and nods. Orochimaru places a wicked smile on his face, "Surrender to me now or Kakashi will get it."

Her eyes open wide thinking about what Orochimaru can to do to her Kakashi. She closes her eyes in agonizing pain when Orochimaru flashes up and punches her in the stomach. Anko looks up at him weakly, "I will never come back to you."

"Then Kakashi will get it. You'll suffer anyways," Orochimaru whispers. "You're still weak. This is why I left you."

-End flashback-

"Seriously what's wrong?" Kakashi whispers.

Anko looks up and his eyes are closed, "Nothing is wrong and how would you know, you don't even have your eyes open."

Kakashi looks at Anko not believing her one bit. He kisses her forehead, "You don't have to tell me now but I will find out. Also I don't need to have my eyes open to know what you're thinking about."

"Or what would you do?" Anko teases.

"Or you won't be able to walk for days."

Anko smirks, "This is why I like you."

"So you're not telling me?"

"No."

Kakashi nods not liking her independence but he respects her decision, "Fine. Days without walking it is."

Anko smiles and kiss his bare chest, "Tomorrow we'll start."

"Tomorrow it is."

Xxxxxx

Kakashi walks around the halls, only thinking about what Anko could be worried about. His mind is only focused on Anko. "Kakashi I need to talk to you!" Iruka yells walking towards him.

Kakashi being completely oblivious to the outside world, he walks straight past Iruka. Iruka stops and stares at Kakashi walking away with his head down and hands in his pockets. Iruka runs back to Kakashi, "Hey Kakashi."

Kakashi then snaps back to the real world, "Hi Iruka."

"You finally answer me."

"Sorry," Kakashi mutters and continues to walk.

"Can I talk to you something?"

"Go ahead."

"You talk to Anko right?"

Kakashi nods not liking where this is going.

"Can you tell her good stuff about me?"

"Uh, if you want her then you do the dirty work," Kakashi says walking away.

"C'mon Kakashi. Do me a favour!"

Kakashi waves and takes a right to go to the lunchroom. He walks in and walks to the far table and picks up a note. The library now, the note says. Kakashi crunches the note and rushes over quickly. He walks in and looks around confusingly. He walks in alittle and he immediately gets pulled to the side. "I heard that conversation," Anko whispers.

"What are you talking about?" Kakashi asks.

"With Iruka," Anko frowns.

They enter a room on the far right side. Kakashi closes it, "Yeah so?"

Anko sits in the chair, "So what are you going to tell me."

"Nothing and that you're beautiful."

"You're worthless."

Kakashi frowns and sits on the floor by the door. "Tell me what you were worrying about yesterday night."

Anko frowns knowing it has been bothering him, "I met up with Orochimaru."

Kakashi tosses his head back to hit the wall with a loud thud. "FUCK," He says rubbing the back of his head. Anko gets up and rushes to him. He stares at her arms, "Kabuto did this?" He rubs them lightly.1

She looks at her arms and nod. She rubs the back of his head over his hand, "You're a fucking retard Kakashi."

Kakashi drops his hands, "They're going to get fucked up."

"No," Anko says thinking back to the situation.

"You should have told me," Kakashi says.

"This is the reason I didn't want too."

"Does Kurenai know?"

"Are you stupid?" Anko mutters.

"You have a point, but you need to tell her."

"You're not going to see me anymore then," Anko smirks.

"KAKASHI LET ME IN!" Kurenai's voice is heard from behind the loud banging door.

Kakashi reaches for the knob and turns the lock. Kurenai bursts in, "I swear I told you to come to be before Kakashi."

Kakashi cocks his head to one side, "You did now?"

Anko slaps Kakashi, "I forgot."

"How did it go?" Kurenai asks calming down.

Anko looks at Kakashi. He makes no sign indicating what to do. She takes a deep breath in and moves her hand to Kakashi's. He holds her firmly, giving her regained confidence. "I met with Orochimaru."

"And what did he do?"

"Nothing… He let me go."

Immediately Kakashi knows that she's lying by the way she delivered the message to Kurenai. Kurenai doesn't notice and nods, "Okay fine. You get out this time. Next time you'll be fucked."

"She already is," Kakashi mutters under his breath.

Kurenai leaves and Anko slaps him. "What the fuck was that?"

"You're lying."

"He let me go."

"With a catch," Kakashi whispers.

"This is now the WORST lunch I've ever had with you."

AN: YEAH GET THE STORY LINE? I thought of this on the spot like I said it will be sketchy so please bear with it.
