Chapter two: running to you.

Eighteen year old Hatake Kakashi groggily walked to his front door; someone was pounding on it in the middle of this stormy night. Kakashi along with his partner Haruno Kitsune, were both Anbu and had just gotten back four days ago from a very hard and tiring mission. Outside the rain was pouring and was some what soothing to Kakashi. He opened the door and was shocked to see his partner standing there, shivering from the cold and soaked to the bone in her torn sleeping kimono. Her silvery pink hair clung to her and he could tell by her eyes she had been crying.

"Kitsune! Get in here before you catch a cold." He said as he pulled her into his apartment. The seventeen year old girl started to shake against her will; she was tired, cold and need some comfort. Kakashi grabbed a blanket out of the hall closet and wrapped it around her. She began crying once more and wrapped her arms around his chest. Kakashi was at first shocked that his partner was crying, then hugged her back and let her cry herself to sleep. After she fell asleep he carried her back to his bed. There he took off her ripped sleeping kimono and put one of his shirts on her. Kakashi pulled the blankets up and looked down at the girl shaking in his bed. He sat at the edge and put a hand on hers. He felt something sticky and wet on his hand; he looked down and saw blood.

'What's happen to you?' he thought wondering where she was bleeding. She turned onto her side and gasped; she sat up and looked at him.

"Kit, you're bleeding. Where are you bleeding from?" he asked. She took off the blanket and showed him her inner right thigh and her left side. Her thigh had been cut by a kunai knife and her side had been cut by glass; Kakashi got up and got a first aid kit. When he returned, she was looking out the window. He sat on the edge of his bed and she came over to him. She lifted the shirt up so he could see her side wound.

"Kit what happen?" he asked as he began cleaning her side. She was quiet for a few minutes, but cut off Kakashi when he tried to speak again.

"My step father, he had a guy try to... rape me...again." She said. Kakashi stopped what he was doing and looked at her. He could not see her face, but could tell she was crying. He finished her side, he crouched down in front of her, brought her closer and then started on her inner thigh; he could tell it would bruise.

"What do you mean again? Kit how come you didn't tell me? What about your mother does she know?" he asked as he wrapped the bandaged around her leg.

"My mother doesn't know. I didn't tell you because he said he'd hurt Sakura and mom if I told anyone." She said, he felt one of her tears hit his hand as he finished. He looked at her and saw how sad and hurt she was. He pulled her into a hug and gently rubbed her back, letting her cry.

"Kit you can stay here as long as you wish, I don't want to see you hurt." He said as he held her tighter.

"Thank you Kashi, I don't know what I would do with out you." She said as she held tighter to her best friend and partner.

A few hours later.

Kitsune felt something warm and strong around her, she panicked for a second, thinking it was the guy her step father sent to her room earlier that night. But a sent filled her senses, telling her it was okay. She opened her eyes a bit and saw a sleeping Kakashi holding her. Kitsune smiled, it hadn't been a dream. She was safe, had a place to stay if she chose to leave and a good friend who would do anything for her. She kissed Kakashi on his nose, knowing he would wake up, but wanted to see his eyes.

'It's not everyday I get to see his face so peaceful.' She thought as her hand caressed his cheek.

Kit was surprised when his hand covered hers and his arm pulled her closer. Her face was just an inch away from his face. Both of his eyes looked deep into hers and she saw an emotion in them that made her want to cry.

"Kit, I have something to tell you." He said, she was shivering from the way his hot breath felt against her lips.

"N-nani?" she asked.

"I want you to stay with me; I lov-like you too much to see you get hurt again." He said and kissed her. Kitsune's eyes were wide for a second, but then she started to kiss him back. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the kiss, his arms where around her waist and pulling her closer to him. Her arms were around his neck and she felt secure in his embrace. When they parted, they both were panting heavily. She looked up into his eyes and saw the same emotion, but this time it was stronger. 'Love, he really does love me.' she thought as she felt a tear go down her cheek.

"What's wrong?" he asked as he kisses the tear away.

"I-I'm just tired, thank you Kashi." She said as she gave him a quick kiss and yawned. He smiled, 'she's so cute when she yawns.' He thought as she fell asleep again.

The next morning Kakashi woke up and saw that Kit was holding onto him. He smiled at this, the two had known each other all their lives and he admitted his feelings for her to himself just recently. He saw on his clock it was already past nine in the morning. Kakashi gently got up, trying not to wake the sleeping beauty in his bed, but he felt a tug on his sweat pants. He looked over his shoulder and saw her sitting up on her elbow, her hair a mess around her.

"Where are you going?" she asked quietly and half asleep.

"Well I would like to go to the bathroom." He said. She blushed and let go of his pants.

"I'll get ready and go home soon; I don't want to be a burden." She said and turned on to her side, but two strong hands pulled her onto her back. Kakashi leaned over her and she looked up into his eyes, not at all afraid of his Sharingan eye. In fact she loved it when she saw him with out his mask covering his eye and scar.

"I was serious when I told you I wanted you to stay last night. Furthermore, you aren't a burden to me; in fact I love it when you're with me. I always want you here with me." He said his face so close to hers, she could almost taste his lips.

"I thought you meant for the night. Why would you want me around anyways? My charka is not as strong as yours and I'm useless, I'm a worthless female." She said with tears starting to fall, her head was bent down and she felt worthless, just like her step father says. The taste and feel of his lips on hers snapped her eyes open. She was surprise; she thought last night when he kissed her it was a dream. Her arms encircled his neck and brought him closer; their tongues were fighting each other for control. After a few minutes they pulled apart, both breathing heavily from lack of air. Their faces where not very far from each other.

"Kitsune, remind me to kill the person who said you were useless and worthless. Because I can't see me going a day with out you with me." He said, she blushed and hugged him.

"Now can I please go to the bathroom?" he asked with a grin. Kitsune shot him a look and hit him with a pillow and he went into the bathroom. Kitsune heard the shower start and wondered if she should join him or should she make breakfast.

She thought of the first choice. She climbed out of the comfy bed and went to the bathroom. She opened the door as Kakashi was about to get into the shower, he saw her standing there in the button down shirt he gave her last night. The shirt had only one button done and he noticed she had nothing else on underneath it.

'I hope he likes what he sees, I'm really not that good looking.' She thought as she walked into the bathroom. Kakashi sensed someone coming into the bathroom and turned around.

"Ki-Kitsune? What are you doing?" he asked, he felt the need for a cold shower.

"You wouldn't mind if I joined you, would you?" she asked innocently.

'Dam this girl- no woman! Does she have any idea what's she doing to me?' he thought as she walked over to him and took off the towel around his waist. It pooled at their feet and he couldn't believe what she was doing this.

"Kit, do you realize what you're doing to me?" he asked as his arms went around her waist and her arms went around his neck.

Inner Kitsune: come on girl you can do it! Remember be sexy!

"No, I'm starting to feel it though. So do I take that as a yes?" she asked.

"Kit, I thought we were just friends? This could lead to-"

"Kashi shut up and kiss me or else I go back to wearing turtle necks and pants. Besides I lo-like you too much to want to be friends." She said, he kissed her and undid the button and pushed the shirt off of her. He looked at her and was REALLY pleased with what he saw, for some reason he felt like he was going to have a nose bleed. Kitsune was a little shy and tried to cover herself a little and blushing a deep red, but Kakashi gently took her wrists and then intertwined his fingers with hers.

"You know, Kitsune you're perfect. Everything about you is perfect." He said and he kissed her again.

"You know you're not half bad yourself, not that I have had a good look." She replied with a grin. He brought her close and started to nibble on her ear.

"Really, I feel insulted that you think so little of me." he said as his tongue started suck her earlobe.

"How can I think little of you when you're not little?" she said to him, she started to breathe faster. He gently pushed her up against the wall, grabbed her rear and pulled her up; she wrapped her legs around his waist. Kakashi held her hands above her head and leaned next to her ear.

"I like the sound of that." he said as he started to kiss and suck on her neck. Kitsune began to moan with pleasure. Kakashi opened his eyes and saw some bruises on her neck; he pulled back and looked at her. She looked at him wondering why he stopped.

"Kit, where did these bruises come from?" he asked, he eyes staring into hers. He let her hands go and his own hands moved down her shoulders, arms and stopped at her hips.

"You know what happen last night, that's where they came from." She said, tears coming to her eyes. Kakashi felt guilt for forgetting what happen and began to kiss her tears away as his hands started to massage her breasts. She started to moan and arched her back to him. He smirked against her eye lids and then he remembered the shower.

"Kit, shouldn't we go shower?" he asked.

"Um, yeah we should. Even though I don't mind the fact I have your sent all over me, I don't think it would be a good idea to come home smelling like you." She said as she kissed him again. He let her down, much to both of their displeasure and went into the shower. The water was warm and the heat felt good to the two would be lovers. Kitsune's hands went all over his body as he had his back to her. She smiled as she felt him tense up when her hands went down south. Her hands explored him and she was happy with what she found out his length, her hands started to play with it. Kakashi had to take a few deep breaths to clam himself down. He turned around and caught her hands and started to intertwine with them.

'Dam, does she have any idea what that does to me?' he thought as he saw the innocent look on her face, but her eyes held mischief in them.

"You know if you keep that up...you might never leave our bedroom." He said in a husky whisper. Kitsune looked up at him with a surprise at what he said.

"You mean I can really stay with you?" she asked hoping to every god and goddess this was not a cruel dream and she would wake up alone in her bed.

"Yes, Kit. I want you with me, I want you here. I want us to be together." He said and kissed her on the lips with passion. After a half hour of somewhat showering, the two got out and had on towels. His arms were around her waist as they walked into the bedroom. They got dressed and got ready to leave. Kakashi put on a black jonin outfit, vest and his head band. His face was covered since it was the middle of November. Kitsune put on some of the spare clothing she kept there. A blue long sleeve shirt, black skirt to her knees, and put on one of Kakashi's extra coats. They left hand in hand and a smile on their lips.
