Chapter 16

The rest of the week past fairly uneventfully- mostly training. The kind of training that took almost all their strength and left their energy all but depleted. All through this, Kakashi and Seyann continued to grow closer and by Wednesday, it was common that where you found Kakashi, you found Seyann and vice versa. Although they hadn't kissed yet…Seyann had told Mika and Michelle as much.… it was common for Kakashi to hold Seyann close whenever they were sitting down.

However, the first time Mika had stage-whispered to Michelle and Sakura that "They looked like such a cute couple", Seyann had disentangled herself from Kakashi's arms long enough to chase the Kunoichi around the yard, yelling (all the while blushing) "WE ARE NOT A COUPLE." Mika just had to flame the fire at this and added in a teasing voice "Yet." This stopped Seyann in her tracks and she nodded. "Right. Yet." Seyann then returned to her position with Kakashi.

The only other real bump in the road…was when Seyann had come back from training with Mika and Michelle, only to discover Kakashi burrowed within a Itcha Itcha Paradise novel. Mika and Michelle had already gone inside when she found him. Anger didn't even begin to describe her emotions.

For, you see…while Seyann herself was a bit of a hentai and she knew Kakashi was a hentai, she didn't appreciate her almost-boyfriend reading a hentai book.

Mika and Michelle were standing in Mika's kitchen, getting something to drink (her parents were at work) when they heard a loud, ear shattering yell accompanied by a ripping sound and a giant crashing sound. Immediately, hair fluttering behind them, the two girls had gone flying back outside, Gaara, Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto, who had been in random places in the house, hot on their heels.

When they got back there, they found a very peaceful situation. Seyann was comfortable in Kakashi's arms, although the red still hadn't faded from her eyes indicating she had just been furious. A clay pot that had been sitting on the back porch had suffered her wrath and, from the position, it was obvious it had been thrown in Kakashi's general direction accuracy marked by traces of dirt that stood out in Kakashi's silver hair.

Paper was scattered everywhere and it wasn't until Mika picked one up and glimpsed a half-naked girl that she fully comprehended what happened. Leaning over to whisper in Michelle's ear, absolutely positive that Seyann couldn't hear her, she said, "Well I must say, he certainly has a calming effect on her. Any other guy… she would've never spoken to him again." Michelle nodded in agreement.

On Thursday during training, Michelle had a good suggestion. "Let's not train tomorrow…it's been beautiful, it's supposed to be beautiful tomorrow…let's go to the beach." Mika brightened at this suggestion, and looked over at Kakashi for permission he immediately granted. "You guys deserve a break."

"I can't."

Everyone looked over at the person who belonged to the voice. "Seyann why not?" Said Mika concerned. "My birthday's not for about a week but my mom decided that since tomorrow, everyone can come because of Game's week, we're going to celebrate tomorrow…all day because it's my 18th. Just family of course…next week I'll…" she caught herself and looked away.

Next week…at least one of them would be in Naruto's world.

Abruptly changing the subject back to the beach, Seyann said, "After a while talk will switch to how everyone's doing and the like…I should be able to get away by noon. Key word…should. I don't know if I'll be able to so don't get your hopes up." With this Seyann shot a warning look at Kakashi who had groaned at the thought of not being able to see Seyann in a bathing suit.

"If I did come I'd wear a one-piece." This statement caused the entire group to break out laughing.

The next day, the group found themselves on the beach. Gaara was sitting beside Mika, who sat on a beach chair tanning, while watching her boyfriend manipulate the sand every which way. On her request, he made her a field of sand flowers (as in flowers made entirely of sand) but other than that he was mostly just swirling the sand around as a form of training. Sasuke and Sakura were playing a game of chicken with Naruto and Michelle, with Sakura on Sasuke's shoulder and Michelle on Naruto's. It was no holds barred so Sakura was using her strength and Michelle was using the Sharingan. Kakashi had taken off down the beach about a half an hour ago.

Seyann had worked had as in worked on her mom hard, however, she had managed to do it. She managed to talk her mother into allowing her to leave her birthday party at around noon. All the presents had been given and the whole 'happy birthday, best wishes' thing was done so Mrs. Lenzi finally let her daughter leave. "It's your day so you should spend it with your friends."

Her mother had no idea about Kakashi…yet.

The young girl ran upstairs to change but as she searched the drawers for her navy blue one-piece…she couldn't find it. "MOM! WHERE'S MY ONE-PIECE!" The faint answer floated up the stairs "It was too old…wear the one I got you…"

The one her mother had gotten her several months ago, when they were on sale, was a pink floral bikini.

Seyann marched downstairs and said, "It's pink." "And you're a girl. Grin and bear it."

Seyann's eyes narrowed and they turned a faint color of orange with annoyance. Her mother didn't even bat an eye, having already found out about Seyann'sninja capabilities."Fine…I will wear…" she shuddered "The pink swimsuit. But underneath a black t-shirt."

And that's how she showed up on the beach, the slightest bit of the pink peeking out from underneath her back shirt. She walked through the trees until she saw the black hair of her friend, lounging on the beach chair. Deciding spontaneously, she snuck up behind her friend and clamped her hands over Mika's eyes saying, in a deep voice, "Gotcha!" Mika let out a yelp at this.

As soon as the yelp had left her friend's mouth, Seyann found herself encased from head to toe in sand, pushed over and effectively pinned against the ground. Mika, herself had leapt out of her char and pulled out a kunai from a holster beside her chair and, straddling the pile of sand pinning the assailant down, holding a kunai at the person's throat…

Only to look into Seyann's terrified eyes.

"Oh my…GAARA LET GO! IT'S SEY!" yelled Mika. The sand obliged and, not only did the sand pull off of her like a blanket; it helped her to her feet by pushing her up. "I should've known better than to do that to you…especially when we're surrounded by this much sand." She said ruefully.

"It's ok…sorry about the kunai." "Well at least you know it's becoming reflex now. Where's Kakashi?" Seyann threw the question out there, in an 'I'm just asking I don't care' voice. Mika wasn't fooled. "He took off down the beach about a half an hour ago…" Seyann didn't wait for Mika to finish the sentence and, instead, took off down the beach at a stead walk-jog.

"Umm…Sey? Yeah…he went that way…" said Mika with a smirk on her face as she pointed down the beach in the opposite direction.

Seyann's cheeks flushed and she turned to walk in the other way… "Thanks…" muttered the girl as she turned and jogged the other way, brown hair swirling around her face.

She wondered, as she walked, what Kakashi would say when he saw her. While she thought about him and what he would say, she couldn't help but wonder for one tiny moment what it would've been like to just be normal. Just be a fan of the TV show…

To not be a kunoichi…this must be something Mika had gone through.

But then…she wouldn't have met Kakashi…and she wouldn't be in the middle of falling in love with him…

Ok…being a Kunoichi had its plusses…without it he wouldn't have given her a second glance…so she knew she was special.

Some ditzy giggling girls drew her out of her revere. She glanced up at the gaggle of girls-about 17 to 18- who were crowded tightly around something. Seyann smirked bitterly. Probably the 'Catch of the day'.

She absolutely hated girls like that-shallow bimbo's who knew nothing about anything, just how to rate how hot every guy who walked along was. As she turned her attention back to the beach something in the circle caught her eyes…

A flash of silver hair.

She whirled her attention back to the group and, as the circle parted slightly, she saw exactly what was happening…

Her heart jumped to her throat and her gut twisted like they were a bunch of snakes.

In the middle of the circle, surrounded by buxom girls in bikinis, sat Kakashi. And not only was he surrounded by them, but he had a blonde under one arm and a brunette with blonde and red streaks under the other.

Her heart settled back in her chest but she could've sworn it stopped beating as she felt her eyes fill with tears.

She could see him laughing at a joke the brunette had just told him. The blonde then caught sight of Seyann and, smirking, whispered into Kakashi's ear, pointing at Seyann not-to-subtly.

He looked over and froze. Removing his arms from the girls, he stood up. "Seyann…I" he tried, sounding surprised and ashamed. Seyann took a step backwards, away from him. They weren't that far apart…he could see her eyes from here-rapidly flickering between deep green for jealousy, deep blue for incredible sadness and betrayal, as well as orange and red for annoyance and fury.

The blonde reached up and took a hold of Kakashi's hand, trying to pull him back down. This threw Seyann over the edge and she turned on her heel and took off down the beach. Wrenching his hand out of the blonde's he took off after Sey.

He put chakra into his feet to attempt to catch up with her-it's hard to run on the sand, and Seyann was fast. He was almost caught up with her so he yelled "Seyann wait!"

It was as before-her strong emotions fueled her chakra and her control was perfect. The amount of chakra she put into her feet caused a plume of sand to billow up, blocking Kakashi's view. When the sand subsided…she was gone.

But all he had to do was follow her chakra.

Instead of going back to everyone else, she went to a small glade that was hers alone-she came here all the time when she was smaller and only she knew about it. It was her own private sanctuary.

As soon as she got there, she collapsed onto her knees in the sand. Picking up a handful in each fist, she flung the sand at the nearest target-a tree. The chakra that she accidentally allowed to seep into the sand caused it to abrade the tree, tearing almost all the bark off. "Why…" she sobbed, tears falling to the sand below. She felt betrayed and horribly hurt. "Damnit…" she slammed her hand into the ground. Picking up another fistful of sand she threw it at her target…

Only to see Kakashi standing there, a remorseful look on his face. He didn't even try to avoid the sand and when it had fallen, he had scratches all over his body from the sand.

"Why…how dare you follow me…" she said, her anger growing, eyes on the ground. When she looked up, her eyes were brimming with tears, flickering between blue and red. "HOW THE HELL COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?" she sprang up and ran over from her spot where she had been collapsed, only to smash her fists against his chest. Finally she broke down and sobbed, forehead resting against his chest. "I'm sorry Sey…" he said softly.

His voice reminded her of where she was. Pulling herself out of his arms with as much force as she could muster, she looked straight into his eyes with her own blue ones-her anger having faded, leaving behind only sadness and bitterness and said "Go…go away." She choked back a sob and continued "Leave…leave me alone…I never want to see you again Teme."

With this, she turned her back on him and walked away through the trees, back to their friends.
