Chapter 7


Previously

She looked at his face, surprised at the handsome man behind the mysterious mask.

He held her head close to yours.

"Ashiteru," he whispered.

And he kissed her.



Kakashi broke the kiss, after seconds, immediately pulling his mask on. Yumiko stood there, staring at him. Her eyes were wet, with tears. Her heart felt anger and scared.

"W-why did you do that?" Yumiko whispered.

She looked at him. Her eyes began to stream tears down her cheeks. He moved closer to her, she backed away, scared of him.

"You're scared of me?" Kakashi smiled.

She looked down feeling weak, her defenses were broken, and she slid to the ground looking at it.

"You know about me don't you?"

"You mean your demon?"

She looked up at him, her eyes were wide.

"There's a rumor going around about you being in a similar situation like Naruto."

Yumiko got up and pulled her sword close to her, she kept her head down.

"Tell me about it," she demanded quietly.

Kakashi moved closer to her, taking her sword away from her. He held her chin up to his face, he wiped her tears away.

"I would only, there's something I got to tell you."

Yumiko stood there, feeling as if she would melt from his touch. She felt innocent, like a child, afraid of the world.

"What is it?"

Kakashi held her ear to his mask. She blushed a light pink, nervous to be this close to him.

"I want in your pants." He whispered into her ear.

Yumiko punched him in the face, while he flew to the other side of the area.

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!?" Yumiko screamed at him.

Kakashi sat there while stuck in a tree, laughing.

"Cheered you up," Kakashi sung in a child like rhythm while rubbing his face.

Yumiko stood there, her hair was messed up, and her face began to get rosy coloring to them. Yumiko eyes turned to their original colors; she grabbed her sword and began to march off to her home.

While she walked her way to her home, Kakashi followed her, like a lost puppy.

Looks like I caught her attention. Kakashi followed her while she walked to her home. I wonder if she realizes I'll be the ninja living with her?

Yumiko walked in front of Kakashi, shaking in fear and humiliation. She clutched her shoulders shaking in the cold. It was about 7 in the afternoon, and it grew cold. The nerve of him, to do that… I barely have known him for more than a week and I've already got kissed. How aggravating. I bet he'll be the ninja who'll end up living with me for a month. And how did a rumor about my demon come about?

Iruka walked out of Yumiko's apartment, hoping to go out to look for Yumiko. Naruto fortunately was on the couch talking with the wolves, trying to understand more about his guardian.

He walked by some tea shops, book shops, clothing shops, but there wasn't any sign of her.

Meanwhile Yumiko was on Wasuri Street, a street next to Zen Street. She felt tears coming out of her eyes, she felt scared.

I feel so weak. It's like he figured out my weakness that I never knew. I thought I didn't have any weakness. I barely know him, but he did this… Why? Is he toying with my emotions? He doesn't know me very much, yet why did he do that?

Kakashi followed her walking directly behind her.

He didn't feel apologetic.

He walked beside her, watching her, looking up from his book.

Doesn't she know her own weakness? Any ninja has a weakness with their emotions. She, apparently, doesn't recognize that. She's a woman making it even more reasonable for her to be very emotional. I guess some of the stories of her are true. She's been through a lot. In a way she is in a similar boat to Naruto. And in some cases she's miles away from me.

He closed his book, and putted it away.

Maybe I'll break the ice.

He linked his hand with hers.

"Here, I'll take you home."

Yumiko didn't say anything, she stayed quiet, her eyes darkened like a sunset changing from day to night. She followed him, her hand clasping his, following him. He led her through the street, and in matter of minutes, they arrived to her apartment complex. Kakashi took her hand and walked inside.

Iruka, meanwhile, gave up on his search.

I hope Kakashi didn't do anything weird to her.

He returned to the complex, and found Yumiko and Kakashi, walking to her apartment. Iruka looked at their hands, Yumiko head was down. She was silent. Her usual self was void.

"What did you do to her?" Iruka pulled Yumiko away from Kakashi.

"I didn't do anything to her, Iruka."

"Don't give me that crap. What the hell did you do to her?"

Kakashi stood there, staring at him.

Iruka was silent.

Kakashi looked at Yumiko.

"Enough." Yumiko broke the silence.

"Yumiko I-"

"Enough, Iruka thank you for worrying about me. I will not be at the Academy tomorrow. Whatever favor you want me to do for you, it can wait."

Iruka glared at Kakashi.

"What the hell did you do to her?" Iruka grabbed him by the vest.

Kakashi smirked," What the hell did you think I did to her?"

Yumiko stood there, staring at them both, her hands shaking.

Iruka shook Kakashi, "Bullsh-t! She wouldn't be like this if you did that."

"Let go of him, Iruka-san." She said quietly, grabbing him by the shoulder.

Iruka stood there, shocked. She never called him that.

He let go of Kakashi.

"Please leave. It's late." Yumiko did a sad smile, looking at him.

"Fine," Iruka turned and left.

Yumiko stood there was watched him go, her hands shook a little, her smile slowly formed into a thin line.

"You're the OPs agent assigned to live with me aren't you?" Yumiko said to Kakashi, who was behind her.

"Yes, I am." Kakashi replied.

"Tomorrow, drop by. And bring home ads. And don't kiss me again." Her back was turned.

Kakashi didn't say anything, he kept silent.

She knocked on the door, waiting for Naruto to open it.

"Don't mention this to anyone." She said quietly.

Naruto opened the door, "Hey what took you too so long?"

Yumiko did a fake smile, "just a little training, nothing special."

"Where's Iruka-sensei?"

"I told him it was alright for him to go home," she stepped into her home.

"By the way, when is the OPs Agent that was supposed to live with us?"

"He'll be here tomorrow," Kakashi replied.

"You know him?"

Yumiko left the two men talking, she went off to shower.

"Yeah," replied Kakashi.

"Well?" Naruto questioned.

"Just wait tomorrow." Kakashi sat down on one of the couches.

"What did you do to Yumiko-san," growled Tsumei.

"I suggest you ask her yourself."

The he-wolf stared at Kakashi furious.

"By the way, you're moving again." Kakashi said to Naruto.

"WHAT!?" Naruto bellowed.

Yumiko sat in the shower; she felt the water burn her cuts on her body. She lightly touched her scars, they stung. She started to scrub her hair and thought for a moment, about what he did to her.

She rinsed her hair, and started to lightly wash her cuts.

Why did he do it? I don't understand it. Why didn't he just wait?

She rinsed her body once more and turned the water off.

She started to dry herself. Scars all over her back, dark faded markings of curses and knife wounds was all over, it was strange to see a woman's body like this.

No matter what, I highly doubt he truly loves me. He probably wanted to play with my emotions to test me.

She wrapped her towel around her body, then reached for her under garments and put them on. She paused for moment.

Then again, he did "save" me a number of times when I led him to the hospital yesterday.

"Yumiko," Kakashi knocked on the door.

She jumped wrapping the towel around her body, attempting to shield her body.

"Y-Yes?"

"I'm going to head over to Naruto's and help him grab some extra boxes. I'm taking him with me."

Yumiko still covering her body, still afraid of Kakashi, replied, "That's fine."

She waited for Kakashi to say something, but there wasn't a reply. She quickly put her pajamas on and wrapped the towel on her neck. She took her dirty clothing and threw them into the laundry basket in the bathroom closet. Then she went to the living room, looking around. There wasn't anyone in the apartment but her wolves.

She cuddled next to them, her eyes beginning to water.

"Your still such a child, Yumi-sama, "said Yuumei.

"Regardless, tell us what Kakashi-san did to you." Tsunei demanded still feeling irritated.

"Freaked the heck out of me and kissed me out of the blue." She sighed, wiping her tears away.

Tsunei licked her cheek, "its fine Yumi-sama, when I see him I'll bite his head off."

"I would prefer that you didn't." She slowly closed her eyes, "I never knew I had a weakness like that."

Zenmei crawled on Yumi's lap, wagging his tail. He yawned and slowly fell asleep on her lap.

"I heard that he started to take a strong interest in you, from Naruto," said Tsunei.

"Really now, that's interesting," she combed her hand through her hair.

"Naruto said that he ditched them to go see you and Iruka."

Yumiko smiled, and leaned on Tsunei's fur, feeling the warmth. "That's nice to know; maybe he does really love me."

"Humans are so strange when it comes to mating," said Yuumei.

"That's what we are, strange people. We think differently from you, yet, you make such great companions for us."

Yumiko yawned, and slowly drifted into sleep. Her wolves cuddled close to her, to ensure she would stay warm.

Kakashi and Naruto slowly walked up the stairs to Naruto's old home. Naruto sighed, inhaling the last of his old home.

Naruto started to go into his scroll room and grab the last of his scrolls. Kakashi scanned around the room checking for anything.

"Kakashi-sensei, what did you do to Yumi-san?"

"You noticed eh?"

"She didn't really look to happy when she smiled ya know." He threw some scrolls into the box.

"I think I might have broken her."

"What did you do!?" Naruto ran out the room with the box gaping at Kakashi.

"Nothing special," he stated while pulling out his book.

"Hey sensei, have you ever fallen in love before?"

He stayed silent for a moment pondering the question.

"Then how do you know that you're in love?" Naruto continued to ask.

"That's a pretty good question, I guess it's when you want to go up to the person you love and confess to them."

"Then how do you know they feel the same way about you?" Naruto put the boxes on the counter.

"Well I guess if they are new in the dating game, you might just end up finding them doing something the unexpected."

"Do you love Yumi-san?" Naruto returned to the room to fill four more boxes.

"What do you think?"

"You do."

Kakashi winked, then grabbed Naruto's box on the counter.

"Anything else?"

Naruto pulled out the boxes and placed one on Kakashi's box.

"That's it."

The two shinobi returned to Yumiko's apartment, shockingly to their surprise, they found the lovely sleeping beauty, sleeping with her wolves that growled at Kakashi's presence.

"She fell asleep?" Naruto glanced at her up close, waving a hand in her face.

"Go put the boxes your room."

Naruto obeyed and went off to put the boxes away.

Kakashi went up close to Yumiko and touched a lock of her hair, smiling at her innocence. Unfortunately Tsunei started growling at Kakashi.

"You should really reconsider at how you presented yourself." Tsunei growled.

Kakashi lightly touched her cheek, smiling at her beauty. She looked so childlike, her childhood taken away from her, yet she became into a beautiful woman. Tsunei watched him, keeping a close eye on his master. He took his offspring and brought him into Yumi's bedroom. Kakashi watched Yumiko sleeping, admiring her innocence, while smiling at his own foolishness.

Naruto came back out and looked at Yumiko.

"Isn't it strange how she looks so young?"

"She's a doll in disguise Naruto." Kakashi smiled.

"Believe it."

"Naruto why don't you go to bed," questioned Kakashi.

Naruto left the prince charming and sleeping beauty to go to bed.

"Hey, Kimi-chan," Kakashi whispered into her ear.

"Mmm?" Yumiko slowly awoken, her eyes still a little red from the crying,

"You shouldn't be sleeping on the floor, doll."

She rose up and got off of Tsunei who ran off to sleep with his pack.

"Thanks for freaking me out today you jerk." She rubbed her eyes like a little girl.

She yawned and got up and sat on the couch. Kakashi went off to look for a blanket to cover her with, while Yumiko got off to find a pillow. Yumiko later returned with some men's clothing and a spare pillow for Kakashi. Kakashi returned with a blanket, staring at Yumiko.

"You're sleeping over," Yumiko yawned for a moment. "Step in my room to do anything nasty, I'll let Tsunei bite your head off."

Kakashi stayed quiet and accepted his 'order'. Yumiko went over to the couch and removed the couch cushions to pull out the bed.

"If you need a toothbrush, there's some in the medicine cabinet in the bathroom." Yumiko pulled out the bedsheets and started to make the bed. Kakashi went off to change into the spare clothing, only leaving his mask on.

Yumiko sat on the one man couch and rested her head. Kakashi returned, finding the doll sleeping again.

"Should I carry you to your bed?" He said quietly to Yumiko.

"I would prefer that you didn't." She opened her eyes and yawned again.

"You can sleep over tonight, but tomorrow morning I suggest you go back home and starting getting some of your belongings and magazines for homes." She threw another pillow on the couch-bed.

Kakashi stayed quiet, watching her.

"Gomenasai, my Love," he said to her ear.

Yumiko eyes widened and turned around abruptly, to find him behind her.

"We haven't even hit square one, and you're already giving me love names?" Yumiko did a sleepy smile.

"Why not?"

"I'll think about it, Kakashi-san."

Kakashi sat on the bed pulling out his book to read.

Yumiko left him, and went to bed her face completely flustered and shocked at her comment.


I feel.. I like I did a really crummy job on this.. I would like some reviews please.
