A few days later, Katsumi was allowed out of the hospital.
"I have a surprise for you." Kakashi told her as they walked home.
"What is it?" She asked him.
"Then it wouldn't be a surprise would it?" He told her with a smirk. She rolled her eyes. They walked past Kakashi's and she looked at him confused.
"Where are we going?" She asked wondering why he just walked past his own house.
"You'll see." He told her.
She followed him a little further to an apartment complex and then took her to the second floor. He opened the door and let her go in first. She noticed all of her stuff had been moved in.
"What…?" She asked confused.
"This is your own place. You need your own space and I thought it would help you." He told her trying to read her facial expressions. He felt nervous, maybe this was too soon for her. "If you don't want to move in right away, it's ok, I can…" He was quickly cut off by her arms suddenly hugging him.
"Thank you." She said with a big smile.
"I'm not trying to say I don't want you around." Kakashi told her quickly. "I just…" She interrupted him again.
"I know, thank you Kakashi-kun." She reassured him and quickly went to look around the new apartment. "I love it." She told him when she came back. Kakashi smiled.
"I'll let you get settled and unpack your things." He told her and waved goodbye after leaving her the keys on the kitchen counter.
Katsumi smiled to herself and started unpacking her stuff, by the time she walked into her bedroom to go to she was about to collapse.
"I'm glad you're better, Katsumi." She knew that voice, her stalker was back. Her heart raced; how did he get in? She had made sure to lock all the doors and windows. She had no doubt in her mind he was a ninja.
"H-how?" She asked in a whisper. She didn't dare turn around.
"I'm always watching you." he told her, a shiver went down her back. He never appeared at Kakashi's, it made her wonder why.
"You always break in; you broke in when I lived alone when I lived with him and now but not at Kakashi's. Why?" She then asked him.
"He's a lot stronger than me, he is the Hokage." He reasoned. Maybe it would be safer to stay with Kakashi, he would leave her alone that way. But it wouldn't be fair on Kakashi if she did.
"Why can't you just talk to me when I'm training or shopping like everyone else? Why do you have to break in?" She asked getting fed up of him doing this.
"Don't you like this game of cat and mouse?" He asked her and she growled, spinning around to look at him but he wasn't there.
"I'm just a game to you!?" She roared angrily.
"No, of course not." He said calmly.
"Then show me who you." She hissed.
"In time." He whispered in her ear, she jumped and spun round. She heard him chuckled. She clenched her fists.
"Why?" She hissed again.
"I want you to work it out, princess, you'll know how to find me once you've worked it out." He told her. She growled again, looking around for him.
"Just fucking tell me!" She shouted but this time, he was gone. She sighed and got ready for bed. All she knew about him was the way he spoke and his voice. He had to be a ninja to come and go as quick and silently as he did. He wasn't someone she was around a lot otherwise, she would recognise his voice. She sighed again before going to sleep.
