*one week later*
Kakashis POV:
Waking up wasn't the problem this morning, the problem was going to see Homura and Koharu, the council. The sun was just barely up and everyone in the village wouldn't be getting up for at least another hour.
I would always respect them for what they've done for the village in the past but they always stick their nose into situations and make things rather difficult at times.
All I knew was that I wanted to make sure I was actually on time for this meeting so I didn't have to hear them nag more because frankly, I wasn't awake enough for it yet.
The hokage manor was still standing, not completely safe, but enough for people to be inside and fix it up. I had stopped in front of the door and took one more deep breath before entering. I knocked and waited for them to tell me it was okay to come in.. which took all of two seconds.
I entered and they were drinking tea with Shizune, I raised my eyebrow out of confusion.
"Hatake, Kakashi. Please, sit" Koharu kindly said and I obeyed her.
"I'm glad you're not late this morning" Homaru said, not even bothering to look at me. I remained quiet and waited for them to speak.
"Down to business, I'd say" Koharu said, finally breaking the what seemed like an eternity of silence.
"Shizune informed us yesterday about Tsunade's health. She's going to be unconscious for a while longer and when she does wake up, she's going to need a while to recover her strength because of that jutsu she used" she continued to speak and I focused on her. That's not a good way to start the conversation.
"Shizune also informed us that Tsunade thinks you would be a great fit for the sixth hokage. Now, considering the state of health she is in, we're asking if you would take the position of Sixth Hokage until she's well again" she asked, looking into my eyes. Are they serious? The conversation Tsunade and I had about this was just barely two weeks ago. I hadn't even thought about it due to everything that had happened.
"I know this is a lot to take in Kakashi, but the village cannot be without a leader right now. We're already in a state of weakness due to the village being destroyed. We can't have enemies knowing we have no Hokage either" Shizune said, finally speaking up. My eyes shifted to her and I was a little lost.
"Leading the village is a stressful job and it takes a great person to take the roll. You're a great fit to lead the leaf" Homura said, did he just say something nice without any sarcasm? My was spinning a little bit but I knew it had to be done. I internally sighed.
"What about Shikaku? He's head of our Jonin ranks and has been unintentionally pointing everyone in the right direction since the attack happened. I haven't done anything" I spoke honestly, about myself and my friend.
"We spoke with him yesterday after Shizune spoke with us, he too thinks you're the best choice. You're equally intelligent and well respected by the village" Homura said.
"I accept and will lead the village then" I said, my eyes shifted to Shizune again and she looked so relieved and happy to hear my answer.
"Wise decision" Koharu said, smirking.
"Now what though? My entire day was revolved around cleaning up the academy grounds more.." I said, probably sounding like a small lost child. Which, to be fair I felt like one.
"For starters, we're going to have Shizune go get your proper clothing and while she does that. We're going to discuss a few plans" Koharu told me and all I could do was nod my head.
I watched Shizune remove herself from the table, guiding herself to the door.
"First plan of action is that we need to assemble a meeting among all the Kages, it's imperative we make a plan so if the Akatsuki decide to come back for round two or even greater enemy decides to attack any of the villages we are prepared" Koharu said, taking a sip of tea. I nodded my head so she knew I was listening.
This all seemed like a dream to me, I never thought I would become the Hokage. I knew I would always been one of the top Shinobi in the village but not to this extent. If someone told me this about five years ago, I might of actually laughed in their face.
"I will send hawks out right away to deliver the message" I spoke sharply, I couldn't continue to sit in silence and they nodded their heads in agreement. I knew a majority of how things worked from my time in Anbu.
"We'll do it for this one time, don't worry about it" Homura said.
"Secondly, now that our Hokage is conscious and here. I think it's important to look over what everyone is doing to make sure all is going accordingly so that the village is being rebuilt with care" Homura said again. I felt somewhat childish by being told what to do but I also appreciated it. They've been advising for a long time and I had no clue where to actually start.
"Once Shizune comes back with your proper attire, it would be wise to find you an assistant for the time being. Shizune would be a great help to you but she is needed in the medical field" Koharu interrupted but I knew she meant well.
"I know just the guy" I said, one person came straight to mind at the moment. Sasuke would be befitting to me. He needed to keep busy at all times and what a perfect fit it would be.
"Whom are you speaking of? Your assistant needs to be able to keep up with you mentally and physically" Homura asked, he looked very curious.
"Uchiha, Sasuke" I spoke with great pride.
"I believe his older brother Itachi would be a better decision due to having more experience but do as you wish with this decision," he told me, looking perplexed a little bit.
"Itachi does have more experience but Sasuke is my student and I know this would benefit him greatly in the future" I told them, I knew it would.
"Now I know being Hokage isn't going to be your typical walk in the park because of the state of the village. But, I do suggest for now to make the best of what you can with what we have" Koharu said. She was right, I wasn't going to have my own office until this place was completely finished being fixed. If I'm still Hokage by the time it's done anyway.
"I believe I could ask Itachi if I could use one of the empty houses in the Uchiha district for now. I'm sure he wouldn't mind" I said out loud.. I at least hoped he wouldn't. It did give me a reason to get out of his house for a while.
The door behind us opened again, I turned my head to see Shizune coming back with a white cloak in hand. That was quick, how did that old woman move so fast to stitch that?
"How the hell did that old woman make that so fast?" I asked Shizune, confused as hell.
"Tsunade had it made the same night she talked to you on the roof about becoming her successor. She knew once the Akatsuki attacked, a battle would go underway and just as a precaution if anything happened to her, she had this made" Shizune said with a soft voice as she walked to me, handing me the robe.
The fabric was light enough to be worn over my clothes almost always like Tsunade did and I gripped it a little bit before dropping my attention away from the piece of clothing in front of me.
"Is there anything else we need to discuss before I leave?" I asked, slowly getting up off the ground.
"I believe everything was said, the rest of the decisions are yours to make. We just wanted to help you start" Koharu said to me as I stood up straight. I bowed before them as a thank you.
"Kakashi, do not bow to us. You're our leader now" Koharu said sharply. I slapped my forehead with my hand out of embarrassment.
"Habit" I muttered and I turned to leave the room, I gestured for Shizune to exit first. She moved and I followed behind her, closing the door to the meeting room.
"This was not the morning I expected.." I said out loud as I put my new hokage cloak on. I knew it was just a piece of cloth but I felt empowered. It lit a fire within me that I didn't know I needed, I felt whole.. I had a purpose again, even if it's being in charge of an entire village.
"I'm sure seeing you with that on is going to take a lot of stress off of our shinobi, Hokage-sama" Shizune said and then giggled at the last part. Hokage-sama. I really liked the sound of that and I smiled. Who knew in the span of five minutes my feelings would go from dread to happiness.
"As my first request of being the Hokage, I would like updates on Tsunade once a day. At the end of all of this she is my friend and I want her healthy" I told Shizune as we finally left the manor.
"Absolutely. Don't tell her I said this but everytime she sent you on an s-rank mission, she hoped for your well being and survival. She worried about you every time you left" she told me and finally reached the outside. We made eye contact and I nodded my head. Tsunade might have a raging hot temper and come off as angry all the time but when you really got to know her, she was none of those. It's something I've always liked about her. We both care deeply.
"Kakashi, can you do me a favor?" Shizune asked me, grabbing my attention once more.
"Yes, I can" I told her before she even asked me.
"It might be a long walk but could you get Hinata out of bed today and bring her to me? I would make a home visit but I can't today and she needs to start doing easy exercise" Shizune explained to me.
"Only because you asked, I will. I'll see you in a little while, my first task today is to inform Sasuke of his new duties and then I'll bring her to you" I half smiled and took off toward the Uchiha district.
I was grateful to Itachi for offering me a place to sleep, eat and shower every night until everything was settled but this past week has been something else.
I opened the front door quietly, taking my shoes off when I walked in. I headed toward the kitchen, drinking some tea while I waited for Sasuke seemed like a good idea.
I wonder if he would even accept my offer, I didn't see why not. It would be an excellent teaching mechanism for getting used to people, speaking with them and holding your tongue. All of which he needed lessons in.
In the meantime of waiting for him, I filled the tea kettle up with water and turned the stove on. I moved a few feet to the left to grab a cup and the tea out.
Everything I needed was out and now I played the waiting game. Which didn't take long because as soon as I sat down, I could hear movement upstairs. I wasn't sure who got up first but I knew it wouldn't be long before they made their way into the kitchen.
The sound of light thumps was coming down the staircase and I watched the doorway for them. The long messy brown hair was the indicator that it was Neji.
"Ohayo" I spoke, startling him. He looked exhausted and he stared at me for a second. He did a once over and then his eyes widened and he bowed before me.
"Please don't" I awkwardly told him. Curse Hiashi for keeping the Hyuga clan standards high. Neji was my friend, he didn't need to bow to me.
"You're wearing the Hokage cloak, its respectful" he said standing up straight, walking to the sink. He grabbed a glass and filled it with water.
"I'm your friend though. I know I'm now leader of the village but still, please don't do that again" I asked one more time. He took a swig from his glass, leaning against the counter.
"You're now my superior, get over it," he said, taking another drink. I scratched my head awkwardly.. He was right.
"Is that where you went earlier?" he asked me, setting his glass down.
"Yes, I was meeting with the elders.. We had devised a plan considering the state Tsunade is in. How'd you know I left?" I asked softly, I knew Neji wouldn't tell anyone but I didn't want to say it loudly either. I looked at him and he just nodded his head, playing with the end of his hair.
"I hear everything, especially since Hinata can't do a lot for herself right now" he said honestly, he wasn't wrong.
"Anyways, this is great for you and the village. I love Tsunade but we need someone like you in charge, it's beneficial" he said casually then stopped playing with his hair.
Neji had been the only normal one to live with it and it was a gift… this entire week was chaos. This many people with all this energy was not something that should be contained under one roof. All of our personalities clashed in one way or another.
Kisame and Sasuke were like cats and dogs. They argued over everything, sometimes it was comical and other times it was annoying. I don't know how many times I've heard Itachi tell them go take it outside and they would come back hours later, completely fine.
Itachi on the other hand has been being weird around me since we had gotten back the first night to stay here. I mean, he could of just been more tired than normal considering he's taken up the role of Hinatas personal care taker. I knew he was doing it because she did it for him when he came back to the village. Other than that though, I couldn't figure out why but I also didn't want to ask questions. I wouldn't have time anymore after this morning anyhow, my life was about to be very busy.
Then there was Hinata, I had been avoiding her the best I could because I was taking Itachi's advice. I needed to forget I loved her so I could at least be her friend again. Trust would come naturally with friendship and I'm sure it would work out eventually between us. I wasn't sure how exactly I missed her but I knew I did. But, I had to see her today because Shizune asked me to bring her to her.
"Well, thank you.." I finally said to Neji after a really long pause. He moved away from the counter and sat across from me at the table.
"I'm going to have tea with you" he said quietly, strumming his fingers on the table out of being bored I assumed.
More shuffling had came from upstairs, I tried to listen but the sound of the kettle started going off. I got out of my seat to shut everything off, taking the kettle back with me. I poured it into our cups and sat it silence.
Louder footsteps were marching down the stairs, I could only take one guess as to who it was. I watched the kitchen doorway and in came Sasuke.
"Good morning" I said as cheery as possible and he just gave me a dirty look. He walked to the fridge, grabbing juice of some sort.
"So, I see you've got yourself a new piece of clothing" Sasuke said, putting the container back in the fridge.
"Indeed and I'm glad you're up because I have more news" I told them and Sasuke continued to skeptically look at me. Man, if I didn't know him I would have punched that look off his face a long time ago.
"Sasuke, I need an advisor to accompany me as Hokage and I recommended you. They told me I could do as I wished. So, will you accept the position?" I asked him. He brought his hand up to his chin and held it there for a second, thinking.
"Sure, why not. It's better than moving rocks around" he shrugged while answering me.
"Well, that was easy" I said out loud, relieved knowing I didn't have to stress over finding someone to fill the position.
"Now, you've got a bit to get dressed. Our day is starting soon. I do however have to get Hinata up, Shizune has requested her" I told them, standing from my seat. I knew it was going to take a little bit before we could leave due to her back.
"Itachi gets her up around this time, give it a few" Neji spoke up before I got out of my seat. I didn't say anything, just sat there and waited.
Itachis POV:
I squinted my right eye open, I'm not in my room? Why was I in the guest bedroom? I sat up and rubbed my eyes open. I looked down to my left to see Hinata was still passed out. Why'd I fall asleep in here? I kept asking myself questions but nothing was coming to mind.
I was still so tired and I knew I didn't have to be early this morning. I laid back down and just cuddled with her. My head rested on her shoulder and my arm across her stomach. It wasn't the smartest idea but I didn't care all that much this morning.
I could feel her shifting a little bit, she would be awake soon so I just held onto the moment.
"Good morning" she whispered, turning her face towards mine. I didn't bother opening my eyes but I knew she was close to me.
"We should probably get up soon" I whispered.
"Yeah but laying here is better, it's cozy," she said, moving her face some more and now our foreheads were touching.
"Yeah but if I don't wake you up soon, someone will" I sighed and held her tighter for a second. My breathing was becoming even and I was slipping back into slumber.
I kept dozing in and out of sleep and then a knock on the door came. I ignored it and then I felt shifting next to me. That's right, I was in Hinata's room.
My eyes sprang open and I moved as quick as I could to get out of the bed, trying not to make it seem like I slept here.
"Hinata, are you awake?" Kakashi asked from the other side, my heart started to race.
"I'm waking her up now" I said back to him.
"Okay, awesome. Shizune has requested her presents and I have to walk her there" he spoke.
"No problem, let me get her in the shower and she'll be ready" I said fast. My heart started slowing down a bit.
"No rush, I know she can't move fast," he said and I heard him walking away from the door.
"Hinata, it's time to get in the shower" I said gently, shaking her thigh a bit so she would wake up.
"Five more minutes?" she asked, her eyes remained closed and she pulled the blankets up a bit more. Why did she have to be so adorable?
"Unfortunately not, Shizune wants to see you today" I told her, slowly pulling the blankets off of her. She made a grumpy looking face but her eyes finally opened.
"I'm more than likely due to start physical therapy of some sort" she said, moving slowly to sit up. I wanted to help her but I knew she would just try and swat my hands away.
"Do you want to try and stand?" I asked, moving a little closer to her. She nodded her head and swung her legs over the side of the bed.
"Just be careful, you haven't stood up in a week" I said gently, ready to catch her if she fell. She pushed herself off the bed and just stood for a second.
"I'll be okay, it hurts but I'm just sore. I'm going to need your help though" she said, sounding pained and grabbed my hands.
"Did you just ask for help? Are you sure you're feeling okay?" I asked sarcastically.
"If I wasn't holding your hands. I would hit you" she said, giving me a dirty look. I laughed a bit and we slowly made our way toward the door of the bedroom.
"Standing up feels so good" she said as we crossed the hallway into the bathroom. It sounded like everyone was in the kitchen.
"I bet it does, I don't know how you were bed bound for a week. I would of went crazy" I told her truthfully.
"I can't wait to be outside though" she sighed and we entered the bathroom.
"I'm sure you'll have an eventful day" I said with hope that she would. I'm sure it would be better than the manual labor I was going to do in a little while.
"You should shower with me" she changed the subject quickly. My face started to burn, my heart rate accelerated.
"I don't think that's a good idea" I spoke truthfully. I knew I messed up this morning when I cuddled with her but I was doing so good not to touch her in any sort of way unless it was to wash her up.
She took a couple of steps away from me and turned the water on. She ignored my comment about it not being a good idea and slowly started to undress. She dropped her shirt to the floor and took two steps forward to press her body against mine. I remained still, trying not to give into temptation.
"This is the first time that were alone and I'm able to semi move around" she said, grabbing her my hand in hers. She moved my hand so they it was just flatley laying on her chest. Right above her right breast. It was becoming increasingly hard not to do anything.
She moved her face closer to mine and stopped right before our lips touched. I could feel her breath on my skin and my manhood was growing rapidly hard, quickly
"Touch me" she whispered into my lips, moving my hand on her breast. I closed my eyes and just kissed her, hard. I made sure I didn't push her back to much because her falling right now would not be for the best interest of her recovery.
She forced her mouth harder into mine, making me want her even more. I took control over my own hands now and played with her breasts, rubbing my thumbs over her nipples.
I knew I should of stopped touching her but I couldn't. She moaned into my mouth and I decided now would be the time to remove my shirt. I lifted it up and off quickly, also dropping it onto the floor.
"Were wasting water," she said to me, dragging her hand down my stomach. Just stopping above my shorts. The deep desire to lust into her was growing and I wasn't sure if I could control it for much longer. I slid my hands down her side and removed her shorts, leaving her naked.
"Don't worry about it" I mumbled into her and I picked her up. The hot water level was the last thing on my mind. I carried her over to the bathroom counter and placed her down gently.
She grabbed my the back of my head to deepen the kiss and I could feel her other hand traveling down my shorts and she started rubbing my manhood.
"I don't know how much longer I can take this" I told her, my right hand finding its way to the middle of her legs. She moved them open a little for me. I teased her slowly, only rubbing it gently. She moaned slightly and started to remove the band of my shorts from my waist. My shorts fell to the floor and here we were. Both completely naked and I was so ready but I also didn't want to hurt her.
I wasnt sure if having sex would irritate her back injury so I continued feeling her become more and more wet and I could tell she wanted it. She continued moving us closer and so I just took the opportunity.
I entered her and she made an audible gasp and started breathing heavy in my ear. I kept my pace slow in case her back suddenly flared up. I gave her another kiss and made my down her jawline and onto her collarbone.
"You can go faster. If it hurts, I'll say something" she said out loud. I didn't bother saying anything just started to move my hips faster and faster. She breaths were starting to become faster and soon she started moaning out loud. I kept pace and I knew I found her spot. I grabbed the counter with one hand, gripping it tighter so we were as close as possible. I used my other friend hand to play with her nipple.
Her moaning was becoming louder and slight fear came over me. What if someone heard us? I moved my mouth back to hers, so she couldn't make noise and hopefully the sound of the shower muffled what noise we were making.
"I'm g-g-gonna…" Hinata tried to speak and before she could audibly make it known. I quickly placed my hand over her mouth. I could feel that she went, which made it feel even better for me. Two minutes had passed and I knew it was driving her crazy because she was being silent and I felt my own orgasm coming. I pulled out quickly and it went all over her thighs. Good thing we were getting in the shower.
I stepped back for a second and just looked at her, every single feeling I was holding back and every fiber of me being just dropped. I was back to being deeply in love with her and I had no guilt now. It felt good to love her and give her love. I wasn't sure how she felt but I knew how I felt.
"We should probably shower now," she said, looking at me weirdly. I couldn't read the emotion she was giving me but I nodded my head. I helped her off the counter and she walked into the shower first. I followed her and the water was still warm, thank god.
We both moved as quickly as possible in there and finally turned the water off. I wrapped the towel around her and then one around myself. I dried her hair the best I possibly could so she could leave the house faster.
She didn't grab my hands this time while she walked but I made sure I was right behind her.
"Ahem" a coughing noise came from the hallway as soon as the bathroom door opened. I looked to see Neji, he didn't look happy with either of us.
"Hokage-sama is waiting for you. Why did it take so long in the bathroom this morning?" he questioned, I nearly slapped my forehead for getting caught.
"This is the first time I've stood up in a week. I showered myself and the water felt good on my back. Itachi waited until I was done so he could shower. Also, why didn't you tell me Tsunade wanted me? I would of skipped my shower" Hinata basically barked back at him, the two of them always argued with each other but everyone knew not to get in the middle.
"Tsunade isn't looking for you. Kakashi is, he's been waiting for you. Can you please hurry up" he said, scrunching his face in displeasure.
"Kakashi can wait a little bit more," she said, turning away from the both of us and moving toward her bedroom, she slammed the door behind her.
"Uhh.. Hinata don't you need help getting dressed?" Neji asked loudly.
"No, I'll do it myself!" she yelled, well she was slightly bipolar this morning.
"I didn't even give her an attitude. What was that?" Neji asked me, looking confused.
"I have no idea. I don't get it either" I said, moving past him and into my own room so I could get dressed.
Hinatas POV:
Why didn't anyone tell me Tsunade was waiting for me? I wouldn't of done what I did this morning. I would have waited for another opportunity to arise. I enjoyed every single second of it though, I needed it and I'm sure Itachi did too.
I knew if I kept dwelling on it, I would avoid what I needed to do and figure out a way to stay home and get what I wanted again.
My back was only sore at this point, but I also knew I couldn't do any jutsu of any sort until I was fully healed. Even when my back was better, I still had a handicap. My broken arm. I had free access to both hands since my cast stopped at my wrist but I knew if chakra even flared near the break, I would be in real pain. I was just a civilian at this point, if that's what I could call it?
I grabbed whatever clothes Itachi had left for me on, a black shirt with a uchiha fan on the back and some incredibly small black sweatpants that not longer fit him. It was better than nothing until I could buy more clothes.
Walking did hurt a little bit but I'm sure the more I did walk, the better if was for me. Physical therapy was usually the best thing for a back injury.
I opened my bedroom door and stepped into the hallway, no one was here so I headed toward the staircase. I grabbed the railing and took one step at a time.
"Oh no you don't" Itachi said and appeared in front of me.
"I can manage" I said, taking another step.
"I'm not taking chances on the staircase. You didn't take any with me so I'm not with you" he spoke, looking directly into my eyes. Man, that was a long time ago.. A much simpler time when I was broken and avidly confused about everything around me.
We had reached the bottom of the stairs and I made my way toward the kitchen.
"Finally. Damn Hyuga, are you always this slow?" Kisame was the first one to comment when I walked under the door frame. I looked around, it warmed my heart to see everyone together and then my eyes landed on Kakashi. He was wearing a Hokage cloak and my mouth dropped open a little bit.
"What.. when..?" I tried to speak but I was failing.
"I'm now the sixth hokage and Sasuke is my assistant. But, only until Tsunade wakes up and this morning" Kakashi said, answering the questions I was failing at to get out. Until Tsunade wakes up? Has she been comatose since she used Katsuyu? I know it took a lot out of you but I didn't realize this much. My heart ached knowing she did what she did.
"I thought Neji meant Tsunade needed me.. Not you.." I mumbled, not sure what to say.
"Well, anyways.. Since you're here. I think we're finally ready. Shizune has requested to see you" he told me and I nodded my head. Sasuke got up from his seat and eyeballed me. He gave me a dirty look when he walked by and I knew why. I still hadn't got the opportunity to talk to him about what had happened when I was away all that time.
Kakashi also got up from his seat, walking past me. We all made our to the front door, putting our shoes on. Sasuke opened the front door, I followed him and Kakashi closed the door behind all of us.
"I'm proud of you, by the way," I said to Kakashi as they kept pace with me.
"Well.. thank you" he said quietly. We remained silent for a little bit, everything felt uncomfortable. I wasn't sure what to say to Kakashi because I didn't want to say the wrong thing and I could feel anger radiating off of Sasuke.
"Can't we just pick her up? It's quicker" Sasuke asked sounding impatient.
"Shizune requested we walk but the way the village is right now, it's probably best to carry her the rest of the way," he answered, did they really need to talk l wasn't in front of them?
Before I knew it, I was in Kakashi's arms and were moving at a faster rate. No wonder enemies had a hard time with these two, they were like lightning.
"While we were waiting for you this morning, I had an idea but I need to see how long Shizune thinks it'll be before you're completely better" Kakashi told me and I looked up at him. An idea? Now I was curious as to what he had planned for me. I couldn't even tell him no, he was my leader now.
We landed in the medical area and he let me out of his arms. We made our way toward the tent Shizune was currently occupying.
"We have arrived" Kakashi said from outside the tent and we heard movement and that's when Shizune opened the flap up, inviting us in.
"I'm so happy to see you standing" she told me, looking me up and down. I remained quiet and gave her a small smile. She was right, I could be paralyzed right now and there wouldn't be anything anyone could do about it.
"Now, let's do a quick look over everything to see how everything is healing" Shizune said, lighting up her hands with healing chakra.
She slowly moved down my back and finally my arm.
"Well, the good thing about spinal fractures, it only takes about three months to fully recover if you continuously do therapy everyday. But, considering you're already standing it could be less time than that. Now, for your arm. It might of been a clean break but it's going to take about six months to get to the point where I can speed the healing process up" she said truthfully. I was going to be out of commission for six months? Well.. this sucked.
"Well, thank you for the exam. When should I start therapy?" I asked, moving on from the subject.
"I want you to talk here every day and find me then I'll know you've got the exercise in that you needed" Shizune spoke. I noticed Sasuke and Kakashi looked at each other quickly knowing they made a mistake by carrying me today.
"Will do, can I go now? This is the first time I've been outside in a week and it's nice out" I asked her. She laughed a little, nodding her head to let us know we were dismissed.
