"They're definitely anbu, you see that skill? Ne, Hinata-chan do you know about using any weapons?"
"Enough." He smiled at me before he wrapped an arm around me as he glared at something across from us. I looked to see some nin looking at me with hatred but I just blink as I turn to watch the fight with half interest.
The fight ends and the Nin who were looking at me from before approached the middle and choose the ones they wanted to use before they turned to look at me.
"Welcome Hinata-chan, why don't you come and show us how you killed the Uchiha Sasuke or are the rumors true and you stabbed him in the back?"
"Hinata-chan lets go ne?" Kakashi's body tenses ready to pounce at them and I think his suggestion was meant more for him and his control but the anbu's words were taunting. I usually don't care what they say about me but his use of the term made that irrational anger build up.
"Fine."
"Hinata-chan?" Kakashi looked worried since it was only yesterday I let my ass get kicked but today was different.
"I have no intention of losing to him." I looked at him and threw him wink before he smiled back at me but his concern was there. I walked over to the walls to chose as people ran out of the shop to tell other people.
I know why Kakashi's worried because lets face I'm still kind of drunk and I haven't been sober longer then a day for more then a year and he thought I was out of shape and over all a mental and Physical mess. I looked at a long sword that reminded me of the one Sasuke had and I felt a smirk crawl up my face at the thought of my choice of weapon.
The store was packed and I felt the Kage's and the other rookie nine in here but I didn't turn back on my plan.
"You going to stand there all day or you going to pick a weapon?"
"Hmm, they're all very good weapons but do you mind if I use my own?"
"It won't matter Hinata-chan, use what ever weapon you want."
I lifted my left arm and un-wrapped the bandages to reveal a seal and the scars on my wrist and the intake of breath from Kakashi I knew there would be some explaining to do. I make a cut across the seal and do the necessary hand signs before there's smoke and I have my long sword in my hand. Funny part that this sword belonged to Sasuke and everyone knew it but I just smirked the crowd.
"You don't deserve that sword."
"then come and take it." He growled as he charged at before our katana's met in sparks. I side stepped to the left taking the sword with me as I turned my whole body into the low right to high left cut but the man dodged and looked at me surprised.
"Don't play around because I'm not." He became deliberate and fast and I was returning and defending every inch. He was panting but I wasn't affected by this supposed tooth and nail fight because I was getting bored.
"Well this has been fun but it's over." My steps are fast, much to fast for him to block as I cut his katana in half and hold mine to the tip of his neck in steady strength.
"How? You caught him off guard, you didn't fight him! Even now you're just a washed up drunk so how can you beat me? I'm and anbu captain and-"
"Shut up. I don't care who you are or how good you think you are. Never refer to me as chan again, understand?"
"Hai." I lowered the weapon and called the sword back into the seal where I covered it in bandages before I walked up the Kakashi but I was interrupted by Ino.
"Why do you have his sword? And yesterday you used Chidori, it doesn't make sense! You hated him and yet your acting like him and you have his jutsu's!" Everyone looked at my back in shock and a feeling of dread washed over me. Fuck I used chidori? What the hell was I thinking?
"He's dead get over it. Get it in your head, Sasuke was a traitor and I killed him even though he begged for his life because he will always be a traitor. It had nothing to do with my personal feelings, I'm a shinobi before I'm Hinata." Kakashi held the door open for me as we left as he slid his arm around me again.
"So… that was fun! Why didn't you tell me you knew how to use a katana? We could spar some time!"
"Not likely." He didn't ask me about what happened and instead he distracted me by dragging me into bookshops and other little places till we reached the market.
"Ne, we should buy some supplies so I can make dinner!"
"You already have crap in my fridge."
"Hai, but this food is for a special dish I'm going to make you!"
"Feh fine." He smiled at me and I just rolled my eyes as he dragged me booth to booth till I finally got free when he became distracted by the potatoes. I found a booth that sold jewelry so I approached it avoiding the crowd but the woman who looked almost familiar.
"It's nice to see you again Hinata-san." My head shot up as I stared into the woman's eyes, so I did know her?
"The last time we met was in sound and you were shopping with the company of the Otokage, remember?" I looked at her in shock before I started to back away but she was quick as she grabbed my wrist.
"Here I was told to give this to you if I saw you!" I grabbed the necklace as I hurriedly found my way back to Kakashi who smiled at me and put his arm around my shoulders to pull me into his warmth.
We got the things he needed as we made our way back to the apartment and he poured me a cup of wine as I sat on the counter watching him move skillfully in the kitchen as he told me old stories with funny expressions and hands waving.
I looked at the wine he gave me and I knew no amount of alcohol was going to make me forget today at the market. So I stopped drinking the wine and he noticed.
"Hinata-chan, you don't have to answer but I have to ask this so… What happened to your wrist?" I have to say that's the last thing I expected.
"Before I drank, before I stopped giving a damn I had another vice. It was more dangerous but the result was the most satisfying as it made everything disappear." He moved to stand between my legs as he took my left wrist and slowly started to undo the bandages but he looked at me to check but I made no move to stop him. He stared at the scars before he cautiously took his finger tips and ran them across my scars. He unraveled the other wrist to find matching scars and ran his thumb across them as he held my wrists gently.
"Gomen ne, you were alone and I did nothing…I should have chased after you and stayed with you." He looked so full of pain that it amazed me how much he felt over some scars.
"No, you helped me. You were the only one who was there." He looked at me and into my usually dull eyes but I know they were no longer dull at this moment.
"I'll be there for you no matter what, I don't care who stands in my way, I promise to stand beside you." He kissed my forehead as he pulled away to go back to cooking but not with out giving me a wink. I almost whimpered at the loss of heat and warmth he had given me. I watched him start telling me another story but his words rang in my ears and I couldn't focus on anything but him till he stopped in front of me with a spoon.
"Here taste this tell me what you think Hinata-chan."
One of my hands grabbed the collar of his shirt to pull him to me as the other pulled down his mask as I crushed my lips to his. He was in shock but as I started to move my lips I heard the spoon drop to the floor as his hands slid around my waist to pull me up closer against him then one went to my head to tilt it so he could make the kiss deeper.
