''Too Young''
We were in the heat of the moment. Kakashi and I were standing under a tree, gazing into each other's eyes. I had finally gotten him where I wanted him.
I had been waiting for the moment to come, for us to finally share a kiss. A kiss with the lips.
I slowly brought my hand to his face. Hoping to unmask him.
But as I did, he reached up and gently grabbed hold of my wrist.
''What?'' I said quietly.
''I cannot.'' He said softly, looking away.
''Why not?''
''You are too young for me.''
''Age is but a number.''
''Age is a number indeed. But our numbers are just too far apart.'' He said releasing my wrist.
I allowed my arm to fall, my finger tips tracing the length of his chest.
I leaned into him and rested my head against his chest.
He wrapped his arms around me.
I gazed up at him slowly. His face, expressionless. A mystery behind his blank eyes.
''I love you.'' I said, my voice cracking in the process. though I wasn't sure he heard me.
As I said this, a raindrop fell into Kakashi's hair. A down pour followed.
We stared into each other's eyes for a moment. Then Kakashi slowly began to release me.
''I'm sorry.'' He said softly, and slowly turned and walked away.
I watched him leave. I watched until he had vanished. Tears streamed down my cheeks, though it felt no different then the rain that went with it.
I slowly turned around, ready to go home, when I caught sight of Sasuke. He stood upon the dial in the training area, staring down at me, his eyes struck with pain.
Our eyes stayed locked for a few seconds, before he instantly disappeared.
Leaving me standing in the rain…alone.
