Hiya, groundporkchops here.
A random idea for a fanfiction. Hope you enjoy it and please leave a review! This is my first fanfiction, so please give me some feedback! The second chapter is already on its way! Also, I am looking for a beta reader! :)
Warnings: Some coarse language, sexual hints, Kakashi x Naruko (fem!Naru), overprotective Iruka, demon-heritage Kakashi.
Summary: It looked like a one night stand from the outside. But for two people, it is now their future. Kakashi x fem!Naru.
They sit facing each other, the bed ruffled and heavy coverlet strewn across the floor. She is quiet but then again, so is he. The telltale bottles of sake indicate their previous activities. With a shaking hand, she covers her mouth to muffle her cry.
He reaches out a hand, shaky and unsure. He pulls her close to his chest and holds her quivering form in his lap. His single eye is lined with wetness and he too is shaking.
"You are going to leave me, aren't you? I'm not good enough for anyone, let alone you! It was a mistake and I should go! You don't need me ruining your life!" She cries against his chest, voice muffled by his vest.
He pulls her away from him, hands gripped tightly on her shoulders and one visible eye fierce.
"Never will I leave you. I marked you and even if you could never love me, I will protect you always."
For indeed, his mark sits in the junction of shoulder and neck, red against her pale skin as it will be all her life or until he dies. They bound together, in the eyes of all. They sit together through the early morning and he holds her, tracing the whisker lines on her cheeks.
Here in the half destroyed room sits Hatake Kakashi, curled around an unlikely person, Uzumaki Naruko. Both love each other. But neither will tell the other. Not know, as they sit in a tangle of blankets, messed from lovemaking.
Kakashi is 27. Naruko is 16. Both are shinobi of Konohagakure, both jounin. He has eleven years on her and yet for 4 years, he has loved her.
She knows she is too young, too ugly and not enough for the man 11 years her senior but still, she has loved him for years now.
She stretches in his arms and hisses in pain.
He places a gentle hand on her lower back, massaging the deep ache he knows she is feeling. He has yet to learn of restraint in some areas of his life.
"Do you need some aspirin?"
She nods, fervently as she shifts uncomfortably from the ache.
She groans as he lifts her and puts her on the bed, as she curls into a fetal position. He stands and she hears him rummaging in her kitchen, then the clinking of glass and the running tap in the metal sink.
He is back then and as he places the water and tablets on her side table, she realises he is not wearing a mask.
He turns to her and she reaches with tentative fingertips to his face.
"You're very handsome."
She blushes at her own comment and pulls back her hand, blinking as he captures it with his own.
He places the tablets in her upturned palm and then passes her the mild painkillers, watching her swallow them and feelings stir inside his long forgotten heart.
Naruko was staring at him, mouth trembling and eyes misted over.
"K-K-Kakashi... What do we do? They are going to hate you."
He sat next to his mate, allowing her to curl into his chest.
"I don't care. We will cope and move forward, something we can both do. We can make this work."
He smiled his usual smile and she copied him, eyes looking more secure than before. She believes him. Kakashi said it would work. So she trusted that it would.
"Okay." She nodded to him and he repeated the movement.
He stood, grabbing his tank top and turning to his blonde mate.
"I think it's time for breakfast, my treat?"
She grinned at the thought of food and smiled.
"Ramen?"
They sit at Ichiraku Ramen, at a table near the back and far from listening ears. He is recalling his clan teachings, the laws and traditions, and teaching his mate. Naruko listens with an attentive ear.
Kakashi explains the history of his clan, of their first leader. Sesshomaru Dai Inuyoukai, the first Hatake.
All members of the Hatake family carried demon blood and marked their mates. He explained their customs, of strength rather than gender that ruled the clan. That he was last Hatake. Then the unfortunates truth of their coupling, a boon in most cases but perhaps a terrible consequence at that moment.
"When a Hatake male mates, his seed will always produce a child. Always. I... I'm sorry Naruko, I am so sorry."
She is in shock for a few seconds, before a smile overtakes her face ad her hand drops to her belly.
She looks at him and sees his confusion.
"Kakashi, I am infertile. The Kyuubi made me that way. It is the same with many jinchuuriki. Our demons burn our systems out. I had long given up hope for a child."
Their food arrives a few minutes into their comfortable silence and they eat slowly, each thinking of changes and revelations and the future.
They eat slowly, to buy time. Because they know they must tell Hokage-sama. And she has a notorious protective streak.
Kakashi fears for his manhood.
But for now, they slowly eat ramen.
It is good ramen, salty and sweet in perfect measure. The noodles are soft and supple, but not soggy. The broth is flavoursome and the toppings are excellently displayed. Ayame makes delicious ramen, they both conclude at the end of the meal.
As they pay, they both dread the same thing. The uncertain future.
Kakashi is hating himself. He took advantage of his student, of his sensei's daughter. Of the girl he loved but who did not love him. But, how he loved her.
They stand in front of Tsunade, at attention and standing stock still.
"We were drinking. And too many drinks led to other things. That being said, Naruko is my claimed mate. This cannot be annulled, disclaimed, subverted or changed. She cannot be used as a Namikaze breeding mare. She is now under the name and clan of Hatake."
Tsunade stares with grave eyes, eyeing the two. She is not shocked by this turn of events. They both seem to have coped considerably well.
"Very well. This will be recorded in the annals of Konohagakure. However, if a hair on her head is harmed... You know very well what I am threatening. However, you must deal with Iruka."
Two faces went pale as ghosts. They had forgotten about Iruka, the true danger now.
Oh shit.
So that's it for now! Second chapter is coming, so please review!
groundporkchops, out!
