Chapter 4:
Hinata's POV
'What's wrong Hinata-chan?' was that the only thing he could say to me? He was holding on to me as I slept and he had nothing else to say? I couldn't neglect the fact that his hold felt nice but it was wrong, for him to hold me in anyway! So wrong.
"Y-you, y-you!" I didn't know what to say.
"Hinata-chan please calm down." He slowly put out his hand as if asking me to take it.
"I-I can't! W-what does t-this mean?" I know it was really sudden but I had to know! What was he expecting of me? Why was he holding on to me as I slept? He was my teacher, my sensei, a fellow ninja from my village, my friend!
"Hinata-chan I can explain!" He slowly started crawling next to me. I backed away as he got closer, he seemed surprised by my retreat.
"Please, Hinata-chan don't back away from me." He held on to my arm before pulling me against his chest. I quickly pushed him away. I could see in his eyes that he was hurt, but what did all of this mean? Why was he being so familiar with me? The hand over my heart didn't move.
"It's, I, I don't know how to explain." he slowly moved one of his hands to his ninja pouch.
"Y-you can try!" I just had to know... I needed an answer, this whole thing was horrible, it was making my inside do flips.
He slowly took his hand out of his pouch, he was holding on to two key chains, one in the form of a wolf and the other a bunny.
"I-I, these last few days, my feelings, towards you...have taken a new height. What I'm trying to tell you, Hinata-chan is that, I've fallen in l-love with you."
He was in love with me? Kakashi-sensei was in in love with me? I saw him approach me, he took my face with his right hand, our faces were just a few centimeters apart, his left hand went to his mask. Was he going to? His mask slowly slid down his face. His face was...he was so handsome! Before I could analyze his face further, his lips slowly touched mine. I felt his left hand go around my waist, pulling me closer. This was wrong! It felt different, but a good kind of different but it was wrong! I put both of my hand on his chest. His hand on my face went to my neck, before he could pull me in any deeper, I pushed him. I had to! He was my teacher, 14 years my senior, he couldn't kiss me! Could he? I had never even thought about it. Since when had he been harboring these feelings?
A look of hurt was present on his features, he obviously didn't expect me to push him away but I had to.
"K-Kakashi-sensei, w-what? Y-you c-can't, w-we can't!" I didn't know what to say.
"Why can't we Hinata-chan? What's wrong with this?" His eyes fell to his arm around my waist. "Who's going to stop us? Only you can reject me! Don't let the other people around you decide!" His eyes were burning with emotion. "I know this is true, I'm not a silly teen, I know what I want, and it's you. I know you weren't expecting this but I just want you to know that I'll love you for as long as you want me to! Hinata-chan please give this a chance."
With that he slowly approached his face to mine, I was expecting our lips to touch again but that didn't happen, he rested his forehead against mine.
"Please Hinata-chan, give this a try, give us a try, I know we can pull through. We'll keep it a secret if you want just please." he closed his eyes "just g-give me a chance..." His voice was a soft, demanding, pleading.
I don't know how much time passed a second maybe 10 or maybe even a minute I couldn't say anything. Sure it seemed wrong but why was it? Of course I never thought about Kakashi-sensei like that but why not? What had I to lose? I had to admit, the kiss was nice, his soft lips against mine. But still! The age difference was huge,and he probably had expectations, I'd never be able to be what he wanted, and besides he was my teacher! Kurenai sensei's friend, Gai-sensei's friend I couldn't!
This time my hands trembled as I pushed him away.
"I-I'm sorry, I d-don't know what to t-think..." His hand went back to my check, I closed my eyes, his gaze, it was so deep and full of emotion.
"You don't have to think, just feel. And I know you'll feel what I feel." My hand went on top of his and pulled it away.
"I'm s-sorry." With that he stood up, it was obvious he was struggling to stand still.
"Think about it Hinata-chan, I'll wait for you, you should know..."
He went to his vest and pulled a little scroll out of one of his pockets. "Tsunade-sama gave it to me in case anything were to happen. I was going to use it but I just wanted to spend some time with you...sorry." He opened the scroll, bit his thumb and placed it on the markings. A green smoke slowly started appearing from the ground.
"It's a special kind of smoke. The same thing is know happening in Tsunade-sama's office, the anbu should get here in a matter of minutes because with the right hand sings it's possible to go from one smoke to another."
He threw the scroll to the end of the cave. Then crouched down in front of his bag and he did a few things I couldn't identify, then he stood up again and came back to me.
"They should come any second now, I won't apologize for what I did and I won't regret it, your reaction wasn't what I had expected but it doesn't matter, you should know, I really do love you."
With that he held his wound and fell onto his knees.
"K-Kakashi-sensei!" As I crouched down next to him, I felt a presence behind me, I turned around to see 4 anbu masked ninjas standing behind me.
"Hyuuga Hinata-sama, Hatake Kakashi-san we have come to assist you back to Konoha.
One went to our bags, and two came to us.
The big one taking me in his arms and the other holding Kakashi-sensei up. They took us to the middle of the green smoke and the last anbu, a woman, made the crorect hand signs.
As I opened my eyes, the sudden light disturbed me. I put a hand over my eyes. I was in the hospital, I'd know that smell anywhere. I looked around, looking for that familiar green clock somewhere. I found it on top of the door, 7 am. It was early. I slowly leaned forward. My body was aching, real bad. I scanned the room, my bag was lying next to my bed. I grabbed it and pulled it on my lap. There was no way I was getting any shut eye plus it'd be the perfect time to finish my book. My hand went in my bag and I felt something unfamiliar. I pulled it out.
It was something wrapped in a scroll. I knew oh so well what it was. I put my bag down, I slowly opened the scroll. It was the key chain Kakashi-sensei had got. It was really cute, a small gray wolf. It smelled of his perfume, I know it sounds weird, but it did, he must of kept it in his pocket... I passed my finger through the key chain then slowly opened the scroll further more.
Hinata-chan,
I don't know what to say... When you rejected me I felt as though my heart was broken into pieces. I want you to know, I doubt my feelings will ever change. This thing I'm feeling for you is different, it fells real, I know it is! When I had seen these key chains at the store, I was attracted to them, first I thought I was the wolf and you were the innocent bunny, I was highly mistaken, the truth is I'm the bunny, powerless against everything you do. Even though you might not seem like it, I know you're strong and determined and I hope you'll give me a chance, I want you to know I don't want to push you, so just do as you feel, you can trust me to bury my feelings deep in me. I wont bother you with them if you tell me to, but you should know I'll always have an internal war going on.
Listen to your heart
Love, Kakashi
My eyes filled with tears, Kakashi-sensei, I just wanted to tell him it would be all right but I didn't know what I was feeling! I rolled the scroll back up and put it back in my bag, I hugged the wolf one more time, I should find a name for it. How about Frost yeah I like that Frost, not original at all but still. I grabbed my head, why did it have to be so confusing? Did I actually have feelings for him? Did I feel something towards him?
Normal POV:
A soft knock was heard on the door, Hinata turned around as a nurse entered.
"Hello Hinata-san, I'm sorry did I wake you?"
"Ah, no, I was already up..." Hinata looked out the window, she was so tried but still wasn't able to sleep.
"I'm here to check you, you didn't have any serious injuries but Hyuuga-sama demanded you stay here a day or two."
The nurse checked Hinata's pulse, took her temperature and left, telling her that breakfast would arrive in a couple of minutes. After breakfast, Tsunade visited Hinata asking about their attack, Hinata told everything except the fact that Kakashi had kept them in the cave because of his love and his confession. Tsunade told her that the corpses from the battle were going to be examined to make sure that they uncovered who was behind the attack. She had also mentioned Kakashi would be seeing treatment at his home, not willing to be in the hospital.
After Tsunade left, Hinata's father arrived with Neji, Hiashi was pleased with the success of the mission, even though they had been attacked and defeated, they were out numbered and the conditions of the new treaty were exactly how he had wanted it to be, if not better. Of course Hinata was going to have to be more careful but her family was happy she was okay.
After a long talk with her father she was able to convince him to let her return home. Even though he was worried sick about her he was happy knowing his little girl would be under the same safe roof as him tonight.
I'm like really sorry for the very late update, even though i had written this chapter months ago it took me some time to post it. Now reading my old stories I realize my style has changed a lot, reading my past chapters I was dissapointed in myself. But from my next story on I will do my best so that my style will be more mature.
This story has a few more chapters to go, I'll post them as soon as I can
