Chapter 2: Desire

'Two hearts fading, like a flower.
And all this waiting, for the power.
For some answer, to this fire.
Sinking slowly. The water's higher.
Desire

With no secrets. No obsession.
This time I'm speeding with no direction.
Without a reason. What is this fire?
Burning slowly. My one and only.
Desire

you know me. You don't mind waiting.
You just can't show me, but God I'm praying,
That you'll find me, and that you'll see me,
That you run and never tire.
Desire'

A long aching sigh left my lips as I stared at the clouds passing over my head. Currently I had taken residence on the roof of one of the buildings in Konoha. It sat across from Ichiraku's. I found it interesting to watch the amount of people that visited the joint every day.

Plus Ibiki-Sensei wouldn't come looking for me here.

I hate paperwork. Kami-sama I've really been losing it lately, Man just thinking about it. You did a marvelous Job, Hotaru making a fool of yourself. You're training to be a part of T&I and you can't even go 3 seconds without acting like an idiot in front of Kakashi-sensie!

At the thought of the silver haired man that plagued my thoughts another sigh escaped my lips.

It was at this point I decided that life must hate me since it seemed the mere thought of the man constantly summoned him to my presence.

So it really shouldn't have been surprising when said man walked into the ramen joint, I gulped when a sudden rush of confidants, that could only have come from my mother, hit me causing me to slide down from the roof and walked in.

I sat down at the bar and smiled politely at the old man as he turned to look at me.

'The usual then Uzumaki-san.' He grinned at me

'Hai, Teuchi-san'

I secretly took a glance at Kakashi-sensie to see him involved in his book, before I returned back to my own.

'And what can I get you Hakate-san?' Teuchi-san asked politely, Kakashi-sensei looked to him.

A miso ramen with eggplant

'A miso ramen with eggplant please."

I blushed slightly as I returned to reading my book.

'Here you are.' The man grinned as he handed us our bowls.

I placed my book onto the side before picking up my chopsticks.

'Ikudakimasu'

'Ikudakimasu'

We ate in silence though I doubt he even remembered who I was.

But you know sometimes I get it completely wrong.

'Your Naruto's friend Hotaru-chan aren't you?' Kakashi-sensie asked as he looked over at me.

I looked up and my eyes widen in shock.

He...remebers me.

a grin threatened to split my face in half, Turning my head to look at him, I almost died then and there.

seriously it is not OK to do that to a girl. I could have died! from a heart attack!

Because when i looked at him I saw flesh instead of cloth.

H-h-h-hi-i-i-s-s-s m-m-ask! I-i-it's-s-s d-d-dow-ow-ow-own-n-n

I gulped as I nodded my head my face burning crimson to match my hair and eyes.

'You're also apart of that program that was set up for T&I correct.' He asked making, my throat was dry as I swallowed.

'I'm n-not really su-suppose t-to tell.' I stuttered out as I concentrated on my food.

Oh good one Hotaru the greatest hero this village has ever seen and you tell him he doesn't have clearance to know about some stupid program to condition candidates for specialized missions. Real smart, why you're at it you might as well say that you're the sage of the six paths and he has pink Hair!

'Interesting, you must be very talented to of been picked by Hokage-sama himself.' He spoke causally as he continued to eat, He's eyes bore into mine. Calculating. Analyzing.

'w-well I a-aspire to match the s-strength of a ex-extremely talent n-nin-ninja. A le-legend actual-ly' I gulped down more ramen as Kakashi-sensie looked over at me, my hands shaking threatening to send my ramen flying.

Smooth. Now you sound really legitimate.

'and who is that?'

Oh kami-sama help me! Ok, ok, just say it act casual! Be cool!

'y-y…..yo-yo-yo-yo….. you….' I gasped.

Kuso! For Kami-sama's sake! I said casual and cool!

He's eyes widen slightly before he's eye crinkled up into his Peculiar smile.

I think I just died.

'Ma Ma your making me blush, if you're in need of extra training I'm sure my team wouldn't mind you tagging along.' He said before finishing the last of his meal. Casually standing while replacing his mask he pulled out some notes leaving them on the counter.

During this I sat there shocked my heart raced as I tried to control my breathing.

In, and out. In, and out. You are calm. You are in control.

'And instead of spying on me don't be afraid to come up to say hello. Ja ne Hotaru-chan' He's voice was soft with a hint of amusement as he walked out past the curtains.

My heart stopped as my eyes widen.

b-but I thought. Kuso!

Getting up quickly I threw money on the counter before using Shunshin until i reached my apartment.

The room was dark and cold and I shivered as I slid down until I hit the ground burring my face in my hands.

I felt the room shake as something cold and wet hit my face, shocked I looked up at the ceiling In hope of finding the leak.

It took me a second before realizing that horrible sobs were wrecking my body, Tears flowing from my eyes.

'Kuso why am I crying!? Why do I feel like this!?' I screamed as my hand clutched over my heart, I smashed my fist into the wooden floor making it splinter and crack as a the wood broke under the pressure.

Because he's given you hope.

The thought frightened me more then anything.

Because if I became hopeful nothing good could come with it.

He's a teacher 14 years my elder, its taboo, it's disgusting it's…it's…it's…

Kami-sama please save me, this unrequited love is killing me!

My next encounter with Kakashi-sensie was a few months later.

I was taking my usual stroll around the village my book in hand, when a flash of silver caught my peripheral.

My crimson eyes looked up only to widen at the beautiful yet calm eye, that dark grey that drew me into their depths and threatened to drown me.

'Ah Hotaru-chan it's good to see you again. We seem to keep meeting each other. Ma Ma you're not stalking me are you?' He smiled making me blush.

Kami-sama will it ever end!

'Hi K-Kakashi-sensei.' I nodded.

'Are you participating in the Chuunin exams this year?' he asked his eye's continued to analyze me as if trying to decode my very soul.

Ok that was sappy even for you.

I smiled softly.

'No Ibiki-sensei had a talk to the Hokage, they had a meeting about my team with some important lords.' I smiled my eyes finding my shoes very interesting.

'Really there discussing whether or not you should be a Chuunin then?' Kakashi asked.

I nodded stiffly, my cheeks flushed as I scratched my arm nervously.

'It was decided that my team mates were to be made Chuunin….and I was officially given the title of Tokubetsu Jounin on account of my affinity for Fuinjutsu.' I sighed in embarrassment.

I heard Kakashi chuckle as he ruffled my hair.

'You sure are catching up to me.' He smiled making my blush darken…again.

Yeah right stop being so nice Mr Chuunin-at-5.

'So what book are you reading?' he asked as he continued to walk now going in my direction.

I bit my lip nervously before looking both ways checking to see if there were any other occupants of the street.

There's Mothers Boldness coming out again.

I took the orange book out of its book sock, flashing him the cover before quickly placing it back into my ninja pack.

Kakashi-sensei's eyes widen turning my face as red as a tomato. It seemed to be becoming the permanent color of my face.

'I wouldn't think that someone your age would be reading something like that.'

Those words pierced my heart deeply.

My age.

'W-well sensei i-in this world a-age is not im-im-important for the m-most part I could d-die on a mission at any time th-this year. I don't…want my life to end full of regrets.' My words shook as I forced the sentences the blood continued to rush to my face.

Seriously it was getting ridiculous.

'Ne. your very smart Hotaru-chan, that's a very mature outlook to have.'

It was at this moment I thought my heart had truly stopped. A large warm hand tangled itself into my hair and disheveled my red locks sending tingles down my spine.

I looked up to see his eyes staring kindly down at me, and it was at that moment I realized I didn't care if it was wrong.

Just to be with him, even if he only saw me as a young student.

I would be happy.

Hope you enjoyed! The next chapter will be more about showing you the whole of Hotaru's character so there wont be any Kakashi! i know disappointing! ;)

Have a wonderful day!

~Hotaru
