The next day Naruto turned up at Kakashi's, he had learnt from his mistake from before. He knocked on the door. Katsumi answered with a mug of coffee in her hands. Naruto started to rethink his plan.
"Can I help you Naruto-kun?" She asked softly. "Kakashi-kun will be down in a bit." She added assuming he was there to drag Kakashi to work.
"Kat-chan why aren't you back home? I saw Sasuke this morning." Naruto said and Katsumi tensed.
"I'm still angry at him." She answered quickly.
"Oh, well I asked Sasuke if the heating and water had been sorted and he said there was nothing wrong." Naruto pressed. "He also said all of your stuff was gone, did you leave him Kat-chan?" He then asked and she nodded. "You left him for Kakashi?" He almost growled out, angry. She shook her head and tears started to fall.
"Katsumi?" Kakashi called from the stairs, she turned and he saw her tears. Kakashi glared at Naruto. "Katsumi I'll deal with this." He told her and she nodded, rushing up the stairs. "What did you do?" He almost hissed at Naruto.
"You two are lying." Naruto said plainly. "I ran into Sasuke this morning, apparently there was nothing wrong with the heating or water." He added and Kakashi sighed.
"She left Sasuke." Kakashi answered simply.
"Yeah for you." Naruto hissed at him "What did you do to make her go running to you?" He then asked.
"I think you should be asking Sasuke why she was running from him and no, I and Katsumi are not dating in any way. She asked for somewhere to stay and I let her have my spare bedroom." He answered Naruto. "Now leave so I can calm Katsumi down, I hope you're happy with yourself Naruto." He added as he closed the door in Naruto's face. Naruto glared at the door before leaving.
Kakashi knocked on Katsumi's door.
"Go away!" She shouted she didn't want him to see her like this. Kakashi sighed and opened the door anyway.
"Katsumi, you need to press charges." Kakashi pressed. Katsumi's face was buried in her pillow, she shook her head. "He needs to pay." She shook her head again. Kakashi sighed and walked over to the bed before sitting down on it. "People need to know he's a monster, you need more support other than me." He told her. She slowly sat up, sniffling.
"No." She croaked out.
"Why?" He asked he couldn't understand.
"I don't want to go through it. I've seen others go through it and the pain is just as strong in their eyes as it was before the trail." She explained. "I'll heal easier this way." She told him.
"You'll still have to see him every day. I might have to put you on missions together." Kakashi warned her.
"It'll be the same as when I lived with him." She told him. "It'll make no difference." Kakashi sighed, he wasn't going to win this.
"Ok, I'll be in my office if you need anything." He told her before leaving.
Once he reached his office, he saw Naruto waiting outside of his door. "You will apologise to Katsumi." Kakashi hissed at him before walking into his office and then shutting the door in Naruto's face. Naruto opened the door and marched up to the desk that Kakashi was sitting at.
"She was happy with Sasuke! Why did you lie!? Why did you steal her!? Is she under genjutsu!?" Naruto started shouting.
"She was not happy with Sasuke, we lied to stop false rumors about us being together. I never stole her and she is not under any genjutsu." Kakashi spoke calmly.
"Then she can stay at mine." Naruto told him, folding his arms across his chest.
"No. She didn't ask you because she knew you'd try to get her and Sasuke back together." Kakashi said and Naruto growled.
"I'd rather she didn't stay with an old perv." Naruto hissed and Kakashi stood up, glaring at him.
"I suggest you go apologise to Katsumi." He told Naruto. "Now!" He shouted with venom; this was the first time Naruto had heard him shout like that. He decided to follow Kakashi's orders this time and quickly left to go to Kakashi's house.
