Chapter3: Worries…
Long, black, smooth and silky hair gently flows with the breeze of the wind. it has been 8 years, Chidori thought. She is sitting under a big tree reminiscing the old times. Now she had fully blossomed to be a fine young lady. Even though time has passed there's still situations that hasn't change… Kakashi's lateness…
Chidori: (sighed) he hasn't changed a bit…
Then she felt someone coming… puff of smoke was released. A tall, puffy, slightly spiked, white haired young lad with a half face covered with half mask appeared in front of her.
Chidori: (cough) can't you even go here without making me cough? (Tying her hair up)
Kakashi: sorry…(scratched his head and grinned) Why don't you let your hair down?
Chidori: That's none of your business. By the way what's your excuse for today?
Kakashi: well… you see…My father asked me to buy something for him…
Chidori: so that's what it is… well you know what you're not good at lying and you're forgetful.
Kakashi: why is that?
Chidori: well you see Mr. smarty pants… you told me yesterday that your father left early in the morning and you don't know when he is coming back… you told me that he is leaving for a mission…
Kakashi: did I really say that?
Chidori: yes…and you can't hide from me know…
Kakashi: (sighed) oh well… so what's for today?
Chidori: of course training… training… and some more training.
Kakashi: is there a break?
Chidori: yeah… after 4 hours…
Kakashi: huh? Are you on a diet or something?
Chidori: nah.. It's just that I need to train myself more: but if you'd like to have a break earlier it's fine with me… I'll just catch up with you.
Kakashi: hey don't over train yourself. You might get yourself ill
Chidori: yes I will…
Chidori and Kakashi started training their selves… but 30 minutes later when the two of them is at the middle of their training a group of men interrupted them…
Man1: hey kids what are you doing here at our place?
Kakashi; is this your place? Chidori… I thought no one owns this place?
Chidori: yeah I thought so too… I didn't saw their names maybe my eyes are not that clear…
Then another man walks closer to Chidori and held her chin
Man2: hey this lady is very beautiful and has a nice body.
He looks at kakashi and held Chidori closer. Holding her tightly not only on chin but holding her in her waist and touches her face…
Man2: (grins widely) Hehehe she has smooth skin too guys… Hey kid! Can I keep your girlfriend?
Kakashi: Ok! But in one condition…
Man1: Then what is it kid?
Kakashi; if the lady insists…
When the man looked at Chidori, she made an action quickly… elbowed him at his stomach… and finally Chidori was released from his grip.
Chidori: Kakashi… didn't you just tell me that you wanted to make some hurly-burly?
Kakashi; did I just said that?
Chidori: well yeah… you're getting old you know. You are starting to forget things…
Kakashi: then if you said I told you so… this would be my chance… right?
Chidori; well yeah…
Man1: if you really wanted to fight make it fast or you might end up losing (laughs loudly)
Chidori: hey Kakashi (whispers) let's do our move the one that we made earlier it would be easier if we do that…
Kakashi: alright…
They looked at the gang, there were five of them… then looked at each other and nodded, a sign to get the fight started… kakashi and Chidori moved in a flash that their opponents can't move because they are circling at their side in an opposite direction. They tried to escape but then they were trapped. Chidori and Kakashi moves faster and faster. They tried throwing kunais at the both of them but it was no use. Suddenly at a blink of an eye, the two plunge through their opponent and fell to the ground with dizzy eyes…
Chidori: hey guys are you alright?
Kakashi; I don't think so Chidori
Chidori: you think so? Well I think their drunk…
Kakashi: (Kakashi looked at her) why is that?
Chidori: they smelled awful… oh well… (Chidori looked at the five men and walked closer and bend over) Hello! Sorry misters we got carried away… see you then…
Kakashi; come on Chidori let's go…
Chidori: right! I'm coming…
At the middle of their laughs and conversations they never knew what's really happening around them…especially Kakashi…
Chidori: what a day… (Stretching her arm forward) hmn…
Kakashi looks at her intently… all these years he never thought that Chidori will be strikingly beautiful…
Chidori: hello! (Waving her right hand in front of his face) are you still there? What are you staring at?
Kakashi: huh? Oh! Sorry maybe I'm just tired.
Chidori: is that so… then let's go home quickly and you must take a rest…
Kakashi; yeah… but first I'll take you home…
Chidori: I would be alright… I'm not the little girl you used to know. I can take care of myself.
Kakashi: really! (Messes up Chidori's hair)
Chidori: hey! Don't mess with the hair…
Kakashi laughed at her… and later on Chidori laughed too and remembered what he used to do with her hair back then…
Kakashi: so you're not the little girl I used to know…
Chidori: well ok you win… let's just split up and stop arguing on whose going home first ok?
Kakashi: ok
At the end corner of the street they separated ways…
Chidori: ja ne! (Waves her hand and walks away)
Kakashi just raise his hand and turned his back… Kakashi was thinking of her he's worried that she might get herself into trouble… but then Kakashi trusts her,he knows that what she had said to him earlier is true. That she's not the little girl he used to know…
2 days have passed, like the other days that they spend their time together they just do their own thing… training their selves… but as the day had passed and ready to go home… Kakashi didn't expect to see his father… Hatake, Sakumo at front of their house that day. Knowing that he's on a dangerous mission…
Kakashi: hey pops your early. What happened to your mission?
Sakumo: (sighs) I don't have time for a chit-chat right now. I really don't feel that well…
Silence break in between the two of them… no one speaks until they reached inside their house…
Kakashi is wondering what happened to his father… he was worried about him… he tried to ask his father but then it didn't work out… They were silent since then no one ever started a conversation…
At the crowded marketplace:
Chidori: Oy! (Waves her hand)
Kakashi turned his head right and left…
Chidori: Kakashi-kun! (Runs to him closer)
Kakashi: oh! Chidori!
Chidori; (breathes heavily) finally you noticed where I am…
Kakashi: So what's up?
Chidori: I'm alright… how 'bout you? I never thought I'd see you here…
Kakashi: I'm fine… I'm here 'cause I need to buy few things…
They started walking on the crowded place then Chidori suddenly lost sight of Kakashi… bumping into people…
Chidori: gomene… Kakashi?
Then she felt somebody grabbed her hand…
Chidori: huh! (Looks at her back)
Kakashi; what are you doing? Here… (Lending his hand) Hold my hand don't let go of it ok?
Chidori looks at his hand and hold it…
Chidori: um! (nodded)
Kakashi: are you busy these passed few days? I never saw you…
Chidori still looks at their hands… and looks at Kakashi at his back…
Kakashi: hey? (Faced Chidori)
Chidori: huh? Uhm… I have to stay at home to take care of my mother.
Kakashi; why?
Chidori; these passed few days my mom got sick and no one will look after her because my father is at a mission right now… I'm worried to leave her all alone.
Kakashi; but what are you doing here?
Chidori: I'm here to buy ingredients for tonight's dinner… do you want to come join us?
Kakashi: nah… my father needs company also…
Chidori: oh yeah! Uncle Sakumo is here right now… hehe… so were really busy taking care of our parents…
Both sighed…
Vendor1: that's the son of the disgraceful Hatake…
Customer: is that so… why is he here? Doesn't he know what an embarrassment his father is? He has lots of guts to face the villagers…
Chidori: Kakashi?
Kakashi just smiled at her… and started walking leaving Chidori behind… Chidori faced the two…
Chidori; hey! What's wrong with you people? Can't you respect the privacy of others?
Can't you even shut your mouth for a minute? Mind your own businesses and don't mind other people's business… got--
Kakashi: hey Chidori don't talk to strangers… come on let's go…
Chidori: (Looks at Kakashi) uhm… I'll be there in a minute! (Then faced the two again)
You got that?
The two nodded…
Chidori: good… Hey wait for me! (Run off)
Kakashi: why did you say such things to them? (Kakashi didn't look at her)
Chidori: I just wanted them to back off…
Still he never looked at her… and Chidori looked down
Kakashi: like you said a while ago you should mind your own business…
Chidori: but… (Raised her head and sighed) I know… I just don't want you to get hurt
Kakashi; I'm not hurt I don't have bruises or scratch…
Chidori: no! Don't take it literally… I don't want your feelings to get hurt that's all…
Chidori is getting emotional but Kakashi never noticed it…
Chidori: I'm just worried about you… if you don't like it then I'll just control myself the next time it happens again…
However, Chidori didn't hear a word from him. He is silent along the way until they reached their homes…
