Chapter 2: What did you say?
CRACK!!!! A blot of lightning thundered…as it started to rain heavily into the dark abyss of the night…
A deathlike silence overcame Sakura, who couldn't believe what she just heard…Whoa…what just happened? Sakura was left speechless…
But it was even worse for Kakashi,…who felt like he was suffering an enduring eternity of emotional torment every single minute of Sakura's torturing silence…Kakashi couldn't handle it, he felt for the first time in his life, very helpless and weak…
"Wha-What did you say…?" stuttered Sakura
"What should I do?!! What should I say?!! Should I confess?! Or should I just pretend that it was just a sick joke? No, she might think that I'm a pedophile or something. On the other hand she may never speak to me again if I tell her it was just a joke. But how could I go on with her hating me…?" thought Kakashi anxiously, who for the first time, did not have a solution for a troublesome situation…
"I………love you…"
" You…lo-…"she started, but Kakashi cut her off…before she could finish her words
"Sakura…wait! Before you say anything…! I know…you must be thinking that this is some kind of sick joke or that I'm a disgusting pedophile…But I can't conceal my feelings like this anymore…I know that after this you may never want to talk to me again or even see me again…But I just want you to know that even if you don't feel the same way about me…I'll always be here for you…whenever you need me…I…I'm sorry…for being so abrupt about this…I just couldn't help it…I am truly sorry…Please, if you can…please forgive me…"he said, with his head bowed, expecting her to be disgusted with him.
Kakashi turned away, with his back facing Sakura, who was standing in the doorway of her apartment. He waited a minute or two for a reply…but it seemed pointless…She obviously had nothing to say to him…So he started to walk away under the pouring rain and lightning…
CRACK!!!! Another bolt of lightning thundered as he began to walk…
"WAIT! KAKASHI!" she called out to him…
He stopped in his tracks…surprised that she would still talk to him…His back was still faced towards her but he slowly turned his head to see her running out towards him…
"Wait…Kakashi…! I…uh… Well…earlier today, you told me to be confident in myself…you told me that I was smart and that I would become stronger soon…You told me all things that I would have wanted to hear from…,well,…Sasuke…But, now…I realize…that he may never see the things in me…the way that you do…And, so how could I ever be with a person who has nothing but revenge in his heart…with no room for loving the person who truly adores him? As I was thinking about this,…you came into my mind again,…and I realized that it was because of you that I felt stronger and more self-assured…And for that reason and more…I…I think that I, too, have fallen in love with…you…And I don't give a damn about what other people will say or think…I know that I can only love the person who cares for me like you…" she said, shivering and panting in the stinging cold rain…
"Sakura…"…was all he could say
He turned around and faced her…Every minute took forever to pass…The rain was pouring like crazy and the night was pitch black. No one was out…They were alone…gazing at each other despite the pitiless rain…
They both had so much to say and confess to each other, but somehow,…words didn't seem very useful anymore, in trying to express their love for each other…
Until at last, Kakashi came closer to her…
"Sakura…" he breathed….
He looked down upon the beautiful kunoichi who stood before him. Her pale pink hair drenched in rainwater, her brilliant green eyes staring in wonder, her delicate face wet with the tears from the clouds, her elegant shoulders dripping with rain, her slender body shivering, her soft lips slightly quivering. He looked at her, as if inhaling her beauty. She was no longer a young girl…she was a young woman, now.
He lifted his hand up to his face…and tore off his mask to display his breathtaking looks…She looked at him with a bit of surprise. Yet she felt so safe and confident with him…She had never seen him without his mask…She let out a small giggle, remembering how Naruto believed Kakashi to be hiding big fish lips under the mask…Which was now impossible…because there was no way Kakashi could look as good as he did with fish lips…
Finally, he wrapped one arm around her waist drawing her closer to his body…and gently placed the other hand on the side of Sakura's jaw bringing her face closer to his…Their eyes made contact and stared into the depths of each other's souls…And in that damned rain, their lips locked together and kissed passionately…for what seemed like an interminable amount of time…They both wanted the moment to last forever but they knew that they couldn't just stand there in the rain…all night…
