Anchor Me

by WritersxBlock101

Katsumi Hatake was not born kicking and screaming like every other baby, her twin brother did enough of that for both of them. Kakashi is her whole world and Katsumi is his, but with death around every corner keeping each other alive is a lot harder than it sounds. Self insert Oc fic. Inspired by all those lovely twins fics out there. Rated M for swearing and violence.

1. Dying is such sweet sorrow

Another twin fic, I know jump on the band wagon much. Oh well I hope you like, let me know. Inspired by Catch your breath and Dreaming of sunshine.

Thanks to my Beta Malicethroughthelookingglass.

My death wasn't swift or painless. It definitely was not glorious. In fact my death was the slow painful sort. I remember the rubble pressing down on my spine and my blood seeping from my burst flesh. I remember that last cold intake of breath before I closed my eyes one last time.

Katsumi Hatake was born September 15th five minutes after her twin brother Kakashi Hatake. She was a quiet child almost too quiet. The twins were hard to tell apart at the start, Sakumo was only able to tell them apart by eye colour. Kakashi had two dark blue eyes and Katsumi had one light blue eye while the other one was a deep green. Even as babies the twins were inseparable, when they were separated Kakashi would wail uncontrollably until they were reunited. Katsumi even though she was a strangely quiet child would struggle uncontrollably in protest, trying to make her way towards her brother's cries. They grew up side by side, learning to read and write together, training together; Kakashi and Katsumi were twins through and through.

Katsumi took an interest in Konoha sign language and picked it up at an early age, convincing her brother it was a more effective way of communicating with each other. In all honesty Katsumi just never felt the need to talk, it wasn't that she couldn't she just didn't like it all that much. She was I suppose a self inflicted mute. Kakashi was happy to go along with his sister's request and when he proposed they started to wear masks Katsumi was just as accommodating.

Their mother died when they were 3 years old and it hit them both very hard. Having your first experience with death at 3 was hard no matter whether it was common or not. Sakumo trained them hard as soon as they managed to toddle precariously from one side of the room to the other.

Katsumi went along with it knowing full well she had been reborn into the Naruto world through sheer dumb luck. Not only was she happy to have been reincarnated, but to be the twin sister of Kakashi Hatake was something special. She trained long and hard, determined to be just as good as Kakashi and to keep up with his prodigy status.
