Chapter 17
She came out of the woods at a run behind where everyone else was sitting. Landing on her hands and knees in the hot sand, she made a sound somewhat between a gasp from running so hard and a sob. Squeezing her eyes shut, tears began to flow as her brown hair formed a protective curtain around her face.
The three other Kunoichi were up in a second and around her, Michelle and Mika flanking her with their arms around her shoulders while Sakura knelt in front of her and raised her head. Seyann's body racked with sobs as she leaned on her friends. She was so distressed that she couldn't even begin to answer the questions that they were asking her such as "What's wrong, Why are you crying…where's Kakashi?" This made Seyann open her eyes wide and dissolve into more tears.
Mika and Michelle exchanged a dark look over Seyann's back. The last time their friend had been driven to tears this bad was when her father had passed away. It was bad.
It, however, wasn't until Kakashi came out from the forest behind them and the girls saw the ashamed look on his face that they realized what had happened.
Sakura was furious. The pink-hared Kunoichi got up from where she knelt in front of her cousin and marched over to her Sensei. Mustering all of her strength, the pink-hared Haruno slapped her teacher hard across the face. "How dare you do what I think you did to her?" Michelle said "What would you think if she did something like that to you?" in a demanding voice, while Mika just gave him a dirty look.
The boys were puzzled, not being as well versed in reading a girl's body language. However, when a buxom blonde came up to the group and said "Kakashi are you done with that little girl?" They caught on.
They didn't have a chance to act, however, before Sakura whirled to face the girl and said, "He doesn't want to talk to you. Go away before I hurt you, you little whore." Turning her back on the girl to face Kakashi again she said "Seyann caught you didn't she?" When Kakashi couldn't meet his student's eyes, she let out a huff and said, "Let's go everyone." Mika bent over and Michelle placed the exhausted Seyann on her back. Naruto, Sasuke and Gaara each started to pack the beach equipment, with Gaara carrying Mika's things. Sakura folded her beach towel and put it in her bag, looking back up at the blonde girl who hadn't taken a hint and left. "I told you to get lost." "I'm not going to listen to you little girl." Smirked the blonde.
Sakura narrowed her eyes and said, "It's because of you that my cousin is so distraught. Leave before I hurt you." When the blonde, this time, ignored her, Sakura powered up her fist with some chakra and punched the sand as hard as she could, sending a spray of sand at the girl.
Only then did she take the hint and leave. Once she was gone, the group moved back into the woods to transport back home with Gaara and Mika going straight home, Sakura taking Seyann home and Sasuke taking Michelle home.
Kakashi made no move to follow them, staying on the beach staring out onto the water.
When he finally made his way home the sun had almost set and it was about 7 o'clock. Mika straightened up after picking some clothes off of the floor and just looked at him. Not saying a word, she turned and folded her polo shirt to put away. Kakashi sighed and turned to the giant gilt mirror he had first come through, wanting to go back to the other world and drown his sorrows in Sake at his favorite bar. However, when he actually looked at the mirror itself, he noticed a piece of paper taped to the frame of the Mirror with his name on the front. Reaching out a hand, he peeled the tape carefully off of the gilt.
"So Kakashi you've been a bastard to the one you love." Read the cover of the pamphlet. Flipping it open, he read the title on the inside 'How to Grovel 101'. Arching an eyebrow he flipped the pamphlet over so he could see the back and read, at the bottom, in a very small print, 'Yourusashi Productions, Copyright 2006'
He slid his eye over to Mika, who stood at her closet, hanger clutched tightly in her hands.
"She's one of my closest friends. Even if you hurt her…even if you made a mistake…you're only human… I can tell you love her. And as her friend I only want what's best for her. And I know that's you." Mika hung up the jeans she had put on the hanger in a hurry and left the room.
Kakashi smiled gratefully to her before she left and flipped back to the center of the pamphlet.
It is here that the authoress should mention that one dollar from Konoha equaled about 50 dollars in Mika's country. So something expensive here would be cheap for them…and vice versa. So when Kakashi saw the picture in the pamphlet, he knew it was perfect. The next morning as soon as the stores opened he went out and picked it up-along with something else he sawthat he thought would suit her.
Seyann hadn't moved from her bed since she had gotten home from the beach the day previous. Well she had gotten changed, into a training outfit her mother had bought for her for her birthday-it consisted of a tank top with net sleeves (similar to Gaara's first outfit) and shorts that went down to about her knees and clung to her legs. But after that she had curled up under her blanket and hadn't moved.
Her mother had assumed it was a guy.
The next morning at around 10, her mother called up to her from the kitchen, saying "SEYANN! THERE'S SOMEONE HERE TO SEE YOU!" The Kunoichi dragged herself out of bed and walked to the door. Calling down to her mother she said, "I don't want to see anyone right now…please please…tell him to go away."
Mrs. Lenzi gave a sympathetic look to the silver haired man who had come to see her daughter. "I'm sorry…." Kakashi smiled bitterly and said, "I don't blame her…I was an idiot. Can you give this to her?" He handed her a package with an envelope on top of it. Without another word he turned around and left.
Seyann waited by the door until she heard the front door close, a tear running down her face at his voice. Footsteps on the stairs warned her of her mothers impending entry and she sat back down on the bed.
"Sey?" asked her mother softly, knocking gently on the door. She had a good idea about what had happened-based on the fact that a very cute guy had just dropped off a package at her house. "Come in mama…" Her mother came in and sat down gently on the bed. "There was just a gentlemen here…he dropped something off for you…Care to explain?"
"His name is Hatake Kakashi. He's a Jounin from Naruto's world and…" A small smile spread over her face, as she said "And I love him…"
"Well…he just dropped this off for you." Seyann smiled and said "Thanks mama." Her mother just smiled and left the room.
The first thing she did was take the envelope of the package and tear it open. There was, inside a card that had an extremely sad cartoon bunny rabbit on it. Seyann rolled her eyes and muttered "Cutesy stuff isn't getting you points Hatake." She scanned the greeting and read the message at the bottom.
Dear Seyann.
I will never be able to tell you how sorry I am for what I did to you…I made one of the biggest mistakes I have ever made in my life when I allowed those bimbo's seduced me. You have more of a personality and are more beautiful than all of them put together…and you are the best thing that ever happened to me…I don't want to lose you….
Please Forgive me…Believe me when I say…I love you…
Kakashi.
Dropping the card on her bed she turned her attentions to the box. Tearing off the navy blue paper, she discovered a jewelry box underneath. Her eyes opened wide as she lifted the velvet lid with a snap.
Lying within the box was two necklaces. One was a silver heart shaped pendant on a silver chain, with a yellow gold bead on either side of the pendant to compliment it. The other necklace was a white gold choker with heart shaped dangles carved from onyx.
Her eyebrows almost disappeared into her hairline. "This guy knows how to grovel." She murmured as she lifted the heart pendant out of the box. So absorbed was she in the necklaces that she barely heard the 'poof' behind her. When it registered she whirled around, his name on her lips… "Kakashi…"
He just stood there, hands in his pockets, unable to meet her eyes. In that moment, looking at him she realized that he was truly sorry for what he had done-not merely saying it as she had been suspicious of the day before. Letting a smile grace her face, she sprang off the bed and jumped into his arms. Pressing her face into his vest as she had the previous week, she whispered, loud enough so he could hear her, "I forgive you…. and…"
She leaned her head back and looked into his eye. "I love you too…" His eyes widened in shock. "You…forgive me…just like that?" "Well I was up most of last night thinking about it…and I realized…that you have an outgoing personality. And that's something I love about you…even though I never want to come across a scene like yesterdays again…" eyes flashing, she looked at him and said "Trust me, I will not forgive you again…I can forgive you now, though…because I love you. And everyone deserves a second chance."
He reached up and pulled down his mask, in one fluid movement. Holding the back of her head firmly in one hand, he leaned down and pressed his lips to hers. She reached up and wrapped her own arms around the back of his neck.
They were in their own little world-a world that was made of each other. Which is why, when an explosion rocked Seyann's house the next moment, the two lovers were caught off guard.
A/N-There you go…Seyann can't stay mad at him for long…but what caused the explosion? Duh duh duh….
There is no one-shot with this but the next update will be a double update, and that will be later tonight…along with a one-shot.
Review.
