Chapter 1 Amnesia
Akemi's POV
"Bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep…" A soft grunting was heard from myself before I opened slowly my green eyes. Blinking a few times to get adjusted by the light but somehow, I kept seeing blurry. I closed my eyes again for a few moments before I opened them again, in the distance I kept hearing that bleeping sound but couldn't really figure out what it could be. "W-Where am I?" I moved my head from side to side, slowly. I figured I was in a room with different kind of machines. I tried to push myself up but felt then a sudden pain through my body and cried it out. "Aaah! It hurt!" I let myself fall back on the bed I was laying while I hold my stomach. I didn't know why it was hurting so much but it gave me a panic attack. Suddenly my head was aching a lot too. For a few moments I didn't know what I should do but the pain became more and more worse till I just screamed it out! "Help! Someone! It hurt a lot; someone help me!" I cried it out while tears were rolling down over my cheeks. Luckily, it didn't take long before some people were storming into my room and tried to calm things down.
My vision was getting even more blurred, probably because of the pain what didn't went any lower through my body. I heard lots of voices… Panicked voices. Also, shadows running from left to right and vice versa. I felt hands over my body and a strange feeling what was coming from it. I didn't have the focus anymore to even care about it before I got viewed with darkness once again.
Some moments later I woke up again but this time scarier than before. Although I didn't get the chance to get more panicked when suddenly a woman was already trying to calm me down. "Easy… There is nothing to be scared about. You are in great care in the Hospital of Konoha." She gave a sweet and warm smile while she had her hands softly on my arm. I felt again a strange feeling and was looking slowly to my arm while I saw a green glowing coming from it. My eyes widen but I didn't have the energy to be really panicked about that. My body was still very tired and just went laying back on my back on the bed. I was just staring at the ceiling before I faced the woman again. "The hospital… Of Konoha, you said?" I faced her quite confused. I have never heard of that name before. The woman was looking quite confused back to me but also worried. "May I ask who you are?" The woman was then leaning back on the small chair, facing me quite curious while I was thinking. Suddenly it hit me that I didn't knew my name! Even while I tried hard remembering, I couldn't remember anything before I woke up in this room. There was fear in my eyes while I was holding my head and shook it. A few grunts were heard from me because of the pain I got from softly shaking it. "Be careful. We don't yet exactly what have happened with you. Although it is very obviously that you have a lot of pain. You don't have any broken bones, no internal bleedings. Only that your body is covered in lots of bruises and cuts." She came closer again and tried again with the green glowing from her hands over my body. It seems that she was scanning me or something. I couldn't help but to let out a sigh and was looking around a bit. "Sorry… But I don't know my name… I don't know anything, only that I have woken up in this room…" I got a sad expression on my face and couldn't really show any other emotion. I was confused, sad and scared.
"Don't worry about that, miss… We will see if we can do something about it. But at least I know now that you have probably amnesia. I can make an appointment to check with our jutsu's to see if anything is going on in your head." With that said she was already writing something down on a piece of paper. The words she said to me didn't made any sense… But I wasn't in a state to discuss about it. My head was still painful, and my body felt very sore. I went laying back on my back on the bed and just kept staring to the ceiling.
The woman was still writing some things down when we suddenly heard the door shoving open and someone else was coming inside. My body was still hurting but I tried to look aside to see who that was. I frowned a bit and noticed that the woman had pink short hair. It didn't take long before she was facing towards me and gave me a smile. Somehow, I gave a small smile back before I went staring back to the ceiling. I heard them talking to each other about what had happened. "Any reports?" The pink lady was asking one of the nurses while she was reading the papers. "No, not really but I think we need to examine her more. I have a suspicion that she can have amnesia. I asked her what her name was, and she couldn't remember it." The nurse explained to her what made the pink haired woman a bit surprised. "I can look at it if you don't mind." She said on a sweet but also a serious tone and I heard her getting closer to my bed. I opened my eyes again and was facing her while she gave me another smile. "Hello, miss, my name is Sakura Haruno. I'm one of the nurses here in the hospital." She didn't stop smiling, probably to try to make me comfortable. I only nodded to her and waited if she would say anything else. "Do you mind if I run some tests on you? You don't need to worry about it, it is going all painless." I swallowed a bit but would then nod a few times. "T-That's alright."
Sakura was helping me then to get more up and was sitting then on the bed. I was facing her hands what became also green, just like the hands of the other women. She came slowly with her hands to my head whereby I flinched. "Don't worry, it won't hurt you. Just relax and breath slowly." She said again with a calm voice whereby I took a deep breath and blew it slowly out and even closed my eyes while I felt the green glowing over my head and body. "But you really don't remember who you are?" She asked quite curious to me. I opened my eyes and faced her then again and just nodded to her. While I did that, I tried to observe her a bit more. Pink short hair, green eyes she was wearing quite special clothes, but not the same as the other women who were just here in the room. "Are you sure you are a nurse?" I asked her without even thinking what I was asking her. She looked quite surprised to me before she let out a chuckle. "Why are you asking that?" She asked curious to me while I just shrugged and looked down a bit before I was facing her again. "You are wearing different clothes then all those other nurses who are working here." My tone was neutral just like my expression to her. She was then chuckling again what also did the woman behind her. "I am wearing different clothes because I'm also a shinobi." I didn't know why but suddenly I was laughing hard when she said that. Both women were looking quite confused to me while they were also facing each other before they were facing me again. "What's so funny about that? It isn't a lie though! I am a medical shinobi." She said with a bit of annoyance in her voice. "S-Sorry but… Hahaha… Hahaha! A shinobi?! Those don't exist! Only in movies or in books!" My lips were curled into a small smile while I kept facing her with my green eyes. Sakura sighed and went just further with the examination what took several minutes more before she was moving her hands away from my head. "It seems that you got a big hit on your head what can explain the amnesia what you have now…" She said and would also write some things down on the same paper where the other woman was also writing on. She faced me back then and noticed then that I was wearing hospital clothes. She turned then to the other nurse while giving her also the papers. "Did the patient also have any belongings?" The nurse was a bit confused why Sakura was asking her that but would then nod and told her that they were somewhere else. "I had belongings, like what?" I frowned a bit while I was trying to think back what I could have in belongings, but nothing was popping up. "The belongings were sent to the Hokage." She explained to Sakura what made her look confused again. "Why would the Hokage have those things?" She was placing her hands on her hips while she waited for the nurse to explain it a bit more to her. I didn't really care again, my body started to become tired and weak again and just closed my eyes before I heard nothing anymore and drifted away in a deep sleep again.
Kakashi's POV
I was sitting behind my desk while I was facing the three guards in front of me in my office. "So, you guys are sure that she just fell from the sky?" I raised a brow to them and couldn't really believe this story. I sighed before they could even answer me and folded my arms while I kept still facing them. "Yes, my lord! I know it is hard to believe but during our patrol we saw some bright light whereby we had covered our eyes. And when we were looking again was a girl falling down." The three men were facing each other before they were facing me back and were all three confident nodding to me. They even had placed her belongings on my desk. I admit, I was even surprised they had even brought her clothes… I cleared my throat a bit and was examining the stuff she had with her. I frowned a bit and noticed that these weren't really things what could come from here. I didn't really want to touch her clothes, not because I found it dirty but more likely out of respect to the woman who was now laying in our hospital. Before I wanted to say something to the three guards, I heard someone knocking on the door and told the person that he or she could come on. "Enter!" After I had given the permission, I saw Sakura coming inside what made me happy. "Good day Kakashi-sensei." She said with a smile and was then nodding in greetings to the three guards. "Have anything happened?" I asked her curious while I was still looking a bit through the stuff what belongs to the unknown woman.
Sakura was pondering about that before she gave a nod and was standing in front of my desk. "About the woman who is laying in our hospital." My expression was now serious and waited till she further explained what have happened. "She have woken up but is now sleeping again because of the sudden panic attack she got while she had woken up. Nothing serious have happened. I have even examined her, and we have concluded that she have amnesia… She doesn't know her name or where she is coming from… She also didn't even know that she had any belongings." She was then pointing to the stuff on my desk. I was quite relieved that nothing serious had happened. "So, she is no threat or anything for the village?" I asked Sakura quite serious while I folded my arms again. "As far that I know, isn't she a threat to us. Only more that we can't get much information from her because she doesn't remember anything." I closed my eyes again and was thinking hard about this. "By the way, Sakura. Can you inspect her clothes for me?" I kept my eyes closed and just knew that she wouldn't refuse that. I heard her coming closer and that she was rustling with the clothes. "They seem quite weird… Better said, they aren't really clothing what we would wear here in Konoha or really in any other country." She said while I opened my eyes and was facing Sakura who was still inspecting the teared clothes in her hands. "So, you would say that she is coming from somewhere else? Just entirely somewhere else." I faced her serious before I added to my question. "These three guards are claiming that she came from a bright light and fell down from the sky." I motioned to the three guards who were standing behind Sakura. She was looking behind her before she was facing back to me. "Hmm that can explain the amnesia and that I noticed that she got a big hit on her head." She put the clothes down and was supporting her own chin with her hand and got a deep-thinking expression on her face. "Yeah. We weren't on time to catch her too badly. But we were glad that she was still alive when we had arrived." One of the guards were explaining to Sakura. "How is she now, Sakura?" I faced her curious while I was also putting the things together and put them back in the bag. "She is sleeping again. Everything what had happened made her quite exhausted. I don't know when she will wake up again, but I will keep an eye on her." She said serious to me whereby I nodded in response. "Alright. Just keep me updated how things goes. Even while she wouldn't be a threat to us. We still don't know much about her." I told her whereby she was now nodding in response and left the room then. I also dismissed the three guards who bowed to me and left the room too… After a few seconds I let out a deep sigh and leaned back into my chair while I closed my eyes again. "Why was I Hokage again?" While still sitting in the chair I was turning around several times with the chair while I was thinking hard, but nothing came up what I could do about this. It seems that she isn't from here… But from where is she, why and how did she came here?
A few days have passed and got a letter that she was awake again. I took this opportunity to meet the unknown woman and hopefully that she could tell me a few things what have happened… When I had arrived at the room, I was knocking softly on the door to let people know that I was going enter the room. The nurse who was working on that day looked up and gave me a smile. I gave a smile behind my mask and a lifting hand as greeting. "Aah, Hokage-sama! Nice that you could come today." She bowed to me and would motion that I could come further into the room. "I was happy to hear that I could finally visit her. I hope that everything is still well?" I asked the nurse curious and she would nod to me. "Yes, nothing have gotten more worse or any new things. I will leave you two alone, just press the button if something is happening and we will come as soon as possible back to the room." She gave a smile to the both of us and bowed again before she was leaving the room. I waited till she had left the room and was then sitting on a chair close by the bed where the unknown woman was laying. When I finally faced her, I took the moment to observe her a bit. She had long dark blonde hair what was at her hips, she had emerald green eyes, I was guessing that she was between the 20 and the 30 years old. She didn't seem quite old or incredibly young. "Are you keeping staring at me or were you here to ask me some questions?" I heard her asking with a bit of an annoyance in her voice and I would face her then straight in the eyes. "My apologies, but yes I came here to talk with you…" I cleared my throat while I kept facing her and was folding my arms in front of my chest. I really don't understand why I came here in my Hokage robes… "As far that I have understand, you have still amnesia and still don't know who you are and where you are coming from." She just nodded to me while she was then looking down to the sheets. "I still… Don't remember anything…" She was sighing and I could tell that she was quite sad about it. "Don't worry about that… Sooner or later you will remember everything again. The nurses are for sure doing their best to do anything to help you." I had another smile behind my mask while I kept facing her. She was looking up a bit and gave a small smile back to me. "I also heard from the nurses that your wounds and such were almost fully healed… The only problem is, I can't let you stay in the hospital because we need the rooms for other people who need it…" I was thinking again what kind of solution we could do about this. "Why not letting her stay at your house Kakashi-sensei?" We both looked up surprised when we noticed that Sakura was also here. "What? Taking her in my house?" My eyes widened when she had suggested that. "Sakura! What must people think when I take suddenly a woman to my house?!" I panicked a bit, never I would have thought that I would bring a woman to my house… Let's stand, letting her even stay there! I shake my head a bit and looked quite puzzled to Sakura. She was just giving me a smile and a nod. "Well… As long you do nothing to her then nothing is going wrong?" I saw in my eye corner that the woman was getting scared. "Sakura!" I said it a bit loud but would then let out a sigh. "Well… It is probably the only solution so far…" I run a hand through my silver hair and sighed again. "Do you know when she can leave the hospital?" I asked Sakura curious while she went to the desk and took out some papers.
Akemi's POV
While those two were discussing about when I could leave the hospital or not, was I trying to observe the Hokage. He was quite tall with silver spiky hair; his eyes were dark, and he was looking around the thirties. I frowned a bit due the feeling I had inside of me. Even while I have never seen them before, something tells me that they are quite familiar. I sighed softly before I ran a hand through my hair and was looking around a bit in the hospital room. Even while that man is the Hokage, I'm still not sure if it would be safe to go with him to his house. Although he seems like a nice guy but something tells me that he is hiding something. I grunted softly when I felt a sudden headache coming up what alarmed both Sakura and Kakashi. "Everything alright miss?" Sakura was coming closer and was looking a bit worried to me. I nodded to her and gave her a small smile. "I'm fine… Just got a little headache that's all." I saw behind Sakura that the Hokage was looking also worried to me but I tried to focus more on Sakura then on the man behind her. "So, are you guys done with discussing if I can leave the hospital or not?" I looked then curious to the both of them before they were facing each other. "First I want to let Sakura do a shopping trip through Konoha to get certain things for you before I let you leave the hospital. I can't let you walk like that through Konoha." He said calmly and motioned towards me. I looked down and saw that I was wearing one of those hospital dresses and nodded slowly in agreement to the Hokage. "What are you going to do then Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura got up and turned to the Hokage. "I am staying here till you are back. Also make sure that she can shower here to be freshen up." Sakura was nodding to him and was then quickly away what left me alone with the Hokage in this room. I followed his movements and saw that he walked back to the chair what was standing close by the bed. Somehow, he kept staring at me what made me quite uncomfortable. I clenched my hands on the sheets before I just looked away from him.
"Your staring makes me uncomfortable… H-Hokage…" I stuttered a bit while I tried to calm myself down. "My, apologies… I was just thinking how this is all possible. Plus I want to assure you that nothing will happen while you are coming with me to my house to stay there. I only need to figure out how we are doing it with the bedroom…" I heard him whispering the last part what made me blush. "P-Pervert!" I said with even a redder face and faced him also annoyed. "N-No it is not what you think!" I saw him panicking and waving with his hands. "I just need to find a solution where we can both sleep! I can't just let you sleep in my bed!" He explained but somehow it made me even more uncomfortable and out of reflex I threw a pillow to his face. "Pervert! Pervert!" There was a soft 'pof' sound when the pillow was hitting his face. Before I realized I was then apologizing to him but because I knew that it was too late, I just hid myself under the sheets and didn't reveal myself till Sakura would come back.
"D-Don't worry too much about it… We can surely find a solution for this… It's for me the first time that I ever have brought a woman to my house… I also don't really know how to do all this…" I could hear from his voice that he was uncomfortable too. But was surprised that he said that he had never brought a woman to his house. You would think that he had already a wife and children with that age and the looks what he have. Although I was still flustered but removed the sheets a bit from my face and faced him. "Promise me that you wont do weird things with me… Otherwise I'm going to scream very loud…" I faced him quite serious with my emerald green eyes and saw him swallowing. "O-Ofcourse I won't do anything weird to you… I'm not that kind of a pervert…" I heard that he was hurt by that and looked away a bit what made me chuckle a bit.
After some hours was Sakura finally back with the stuff to get me freshen up. She even helped me to walk to the bathroom. "Here is the bathroom and here are the stuff I have bought for you to clean yourself. I will place the fresh clothes by the door. Do you need anything else?" She asked me and was looking curious to me while I was thinking but was then shaking my head softly. "No… This is enough." I gave her then a small smile. She nodded and walked to the door to open it but was then pausing in the doorway. "If something goes wrong or you need help, you can always press on that button." She was then pointing to the red button close by the shower. I faced it and was then nodding back to her.
When I was alone in the bathroom, I let out a deep sigh and started to undress myself. It didn't take long before I was naked and was looking at myself. I saw some little scars and touched them carefully with my fingers. I was very curious what have happened with me and just hoped that I would know it soon enough… I walked then to the shower and turned on the water, waiting for the right temperature before I went under it. It let the warm water pouring over me and just closed my eyes. I did that for a few minutes before I then finally started with washing my body and hair. I just couldn't stop thinking why I don't know anything… Even my name… It was frustrating me and became quite annoyed with it. I felt then again, a sudden headache and tried to calm myself down. I grabbed then the shampoo bottle and started to wash my hair.
After some minutes I was then finally done and tried to dry my body, but I discovered that it was quite a task for me and couldn't do it by myself. I was quite embarrassed because I didn't dare to ask for help. Suddenly I heard some knocking on the door. "Everything alright miss? Anything what I can help with?" I heard the voice of Sakura before I was staring at myself in the reflection of the mirror. I frowned before I looked down and responded. "I… I can't dry my own body… It hurts if I make certain movements with my arms." I said quite embarrassed and was holding the sink quite tight with my hands. "I'm coming in!" With that I heard the door opening slowly and quickly closing again. I faced to the door and saw that she was smiling to me. I gave her the towel and let her dry my body and even my hair. "I must say that you have quite beautiful long hair, miss." I was blushing a bit but was then nodding to her. It was quite embarrassing for me to let someone else drying my body. Although I noticed that she was doing it very carefully. "How long will it take before my scars are gone?" I was looking down and was examining myself again. Sakura was looking a bit curious to my body and went again with a green glowing light over my body. "Hmm... It can always take a bit before they have fully vanished. But I have a certain crème what you can put on it to quicken the process a bit and it is also even good for your skin." She gave me then a big smile before she went further with drying my hair. Luckily, she also wanted to help me with getting dressed, I was quite surprised that the clothes she had bought were fitting me perfectly. I was also happy that it were simple clothes. Some brown loose pants with a blue long wide sleeve shirt even the sandals were a perfect fit for me what were black. I was examining myself again and gave Sakura a smile. "Thank you a lot Sakura." She nodded in agreement before she was grabbing the brush and started with brushing my hair.
I felt a bit bad to let the Hokage waiting so long but finally after some moments I came out of the bathroom. Totally freshen up and wearing some normal clothes. I was looking a bit nervous, but I saw that the Hokage was nodding in agreement. "That looks much better." I gave him a small smile before I faced Sakura. "I was thinking like that too Kakashi-sensei!" Sakura was smiling bright and had put everything in a bag and gave it to me. "And trust me, Kakashi-sensei won't do anything to you. He is a nice man and want only to help you. Just like I do." She whispered softly in my ear before I nodded briefly to her. "Well, Kakashi-sensei she is ready to come with you!" I was blushing a bit while I noticed even while he was wearing a mask that he was kind of blushing too. "S-Sakura! You are saying it as if we are going to do something!" I only heard Sakura chuckling softly before she pushes me softly towards Kakashi. I was still blushing a lot while I lowered my face and let my still damp hair falling at each side of my face to hide it.
Kakashi's POV
I sighed and shook my head slowly before I was facing Sakura. She only gave me a thumbs up before I was looking down to the woman. "Are you ready?" I asked her before she was looking up to me and nodded slowly. "Let's go then." I turned around and was walking out of the room and heard that she was following me. I was thinking to also give a little tour so that she knows a bit where she is. I faced her curious while she was just looking forward, she had still a blush on her cheeks and noticed that she was holding the bag quite tight. "You don't need to be that nervous. Everything will be alright." I gave her again a smile while it was still covered by my mask but was hoping that she could notice that I was smiling to her. "I'm scared… That's all Hokage… It's still all new for me and I still don't know where I am or who I am." She sighed and I noticed that she became quite depressed. I was thinking hard but couldn't really think of something to brighten her mood. I was looking around while we were walking through the city it was obvious that the people were looking at me because I had suddenly company next to me. Although I hoped that they weren't thinking of something because she was still quite gloomy.
"Do you mind if I give you a tour before we head to my house?" I asked her curious while I stood still on the road. She was looking curious to me but just shrugged her shoulders. "I don't think that would be an issue. I'm quite curious what kind of city Konoha is." She was looking quite innocent to me but somehow, I got again a smile on my face. This goes more smoother then I hoped… It took a few hours while I was giving her a tour, luckily, I saw her brighten up a bit. She was quite amazed how big Konoha was. I noticed that she was liking the park the most, although I must say it is quite relaxing. Even while it is busy, it was still calm and peaceful… When I wanted to propose to go to my house, I heard a familiar voice. "Oi! Kakashi-sensei!" We were both looking to the direction where the voice was coming from and I saw a familiar blonde boy. "Naruto… Already back from your mission?" He was smiling bright and nodded confident to me. "Yes! It was super easy! Right Captain Yamato?" He was looking around but was confused that he didn't saw Yamato around. I was also looking around while the unknown woman was looking confused and a bit uncomfortable to Naruto. Then we suddenly saw Yamato running to us, he wasn't incredibly happy. I figured that Naruto have done something to make him like that. "Oi, Captain Yamato! Where were you!?" We only heard a grunt from him before he had reached us. "Welcome back Yamato. I hope that the mission went well?" I asked him but I only got an annoyed expression back whereby I just only smiled to him. "Ne, Kakashi-sensei… Who is this woman?" When Naruto was mentioning her I noticed that she became a bit scared but was more surprised when she suddenly was kind of hiding behind me. "Oi, Kakashi-sensei! Were you dating while we were on a mission?!" Both me and the woman became red in the face, but I knew that this was coming… Knowing Naruto… "N-No! She… Uhm… It's quite complicated… I still need to talk with Yamato about it! But no… We aren't dating… In short… She have lost her memories and I have offered a place to stay till she know some more during her stay here in Konoha." I explained and hoped that Naruto didn't think anything different about it. I saw that he was looking confused whereby Yamato was shaking disappointed his head. "Nice too meet you, my name is Yamato. I hope you like it here in Konoha." Yamato said with a kind voice and gave her even a smile and a hand in the air as a greeting. "And my name is Naruto Uzumaki! The best shinobi of Konoha!" He said proudly what made my eyes roll. I looked behind me to her and noticed that she was still scared, uncomfortable and even shy. I sighed a bit before I faced the two guys again. "I was planning to bring her to my home so that she can settle a bit. I was wondering if you could keep an eye on her while I'm doing important things in the meanwhile." I was facing Yamato and he was surprised with a request like that. "B-But s-senpai!" He panicked a bit, and I shook my head. "It isn't really a question but more an order." I said stern to him while he sighed in defeat. "Hai, Hokage-same." I gave him a smile again and let the woman know that I wanted to proceed the walk to my home. She let go of my Hokage robe and was nodding to me in response. "Ooh be careful about his Icha Icha books! Those are very pervy!" My eyes widened when I heard Naruto screaming like that through the street. I turned around and gave Naruto a glare but saw that Yamato was giving him a punch on the head what confused Naruto. I quickly grabbed the hand of the woman and was walking fast to my house. I saw in the corner of my eye that she was looking confused but didn't dare to say anything.
When I had finally reached my house, I was quickly looking for my keys to open the door. I went quickly inside and dragged her with me and closed the door immediately. I took a few deep breaths and trying to calm myself. That idiot… I looked up and saw that she was still looking confused to me, but I could only shake my head to her and motioned for her to walk to the living room. "Do you want some tea or must I first give you a tour through my house?" I saw her thinking before she faces me again. "A tour through the house sounds fine and after that some tea would be nice." She give a small smile to me whereby I nodded in response and showed her the house.
Although there wasn't much to show her. Just the regular things like the bedroom, whereby I still need to find a solution about it. The bathroom then we had also the kitchen and the living room. Even while the house was quite big it didn't have many rooms just the ones what a person need. Ooh and I must not forget the garden. I noticed again that she brighten up a bit when she saw the garden. Although I'm bad with keeping it in shape… But maybe I can give her the task if she want it to keep it bright and nice. "So… What do you think?" I asked her curious while I leaned against the doorway with my arms folded. She was looking around again before she faces me again. "It seems nice and I maybe know how to solve the bedroom issue." She give a small smile to me what surprised me. "Oh, and what is that?" I raised a brow to her while I waited for her response. "You can sleep on the couch." My eyes widened and couldn't believe that she was saying that without any expression. But… She isn't wrong… I can hardly let a woman in this state… Well… Any woman… I can't let any woman sleep on the couch… I sighed and was nodding then to her. "You are right. I can just sleep on the couch. That is no problem at all." I faced her back while she gave me a small smile back.
Akemi's POV.
It was evening and we were both sitting on the couch, watching some television. I had tried to make myself comfortable on the couch with a mug of tea while I was trying to follow what was going on. "I think that I will go soon to bed, Hokage… It was quite a busy day and I'm getting quite tired." I faced him and gave him a small smile. He was facing back to me and nodded to me. "That is no problem. Do I need to guide you to the bedroom or can you do it on your own?" He asked to me what made me blush a bit. I shook my head before I took a quick sip from my tea. "I can go on my own but thank you for asking. Also thank you for offering a place here. I know it can be hard and difficult to suddenly take an unknown woman to your house while you are also a leader of the city." I chuckles softly before I took another sip of my tea and placed it then on my legs while holding it with both hands. "Don't think too much about it. I will handle everything and making sure that everything goes smoothly. Although I must say that I will let Yamato Keeping an eye on you tomorrow so that I can arrange some things. I'm still the Hokage and can't delay any further work." He explained to me while I was facing him curious. I could somehow see at his face that he wasn't really happy with the task to be Hokage. "I may be wrong… But it seems that you don't like your job." He was looking surprised to me but just shrugged. "Let's say that it isn't really a job for me. Even while I'm one of the strongest Shinobi, it is not really my thing to rule over a city." He sighed a bit before he leaned more into the couch. I chuckle softly before I faced my mug and saw my own reflection in the tea. "You prefer being physical busy then doing paperwork?" I asked him curious whereby he nodded to me. "Indeed. Although just relaxing somewhere with a book is also not really a punishment." That remembered me when Naruto was suddenly talking about those Icha Icha books. "Like those books what Naruto was mentioning?" I asked him curious what took him off-guard. "Just forget about those books…" I saw that he was flustered and couldn't really understand why. But I found it a good idea for not asking anything further and just placed my mug on the table.
I stood up and was stretching my body what made me also grunt a bit of the pain. I saw that Kakashi was looking worried to me but I gave him a convincing smile that everything was alright. "Thank you for everything, Hokage." Out of respect I was bowing to him before I gave him a bit more of a bigger smile then before. "Don't worry about it. It is my job to help others especially people like you. And you can call me Kakashi if you want." He was facing me what made me blush a bit but nodded then to him. "Alright… Kakashi…" With that I went upstairs.
When arrived in his bedroom I felt a bit nervous. Sleeping suddenly in someone else room is quite weird. I just shook the thought away from my head and walked to the bed where I saw a pile of clothes. I grabbed them and noticed that it were his clothes. I blushed harder and was looking around. I must wear his clothes as sleeping wear. I panicked a bit but just swallowed and tried to ignore it. I let out a big sigh before I undressed myself and put on his clothes. They were much bigger then I was but somehow it was comfortable. I went then crawling over his bed and slipped under the sheets. I shivered because it was cold and took some time before it was finally warm enough to fall asleep. What surprised me the most was that my body was so tired that I fell easily asleep. Even while I was in a stranger's house it felt somehow very safe.
Kakashi's POV
I was laying on the couch with one of my Icha Icha's. I sighed and tried to clear my mind but it wasn't that very easy. I even looked up a few times to the ceiling to think if everything is alright with her. I wanted to check but I don't want that she thinks that I'm a pervert. I sighed again and would close my Icha Icha and placed it on the coffee table. I got up and was thinking that maybe a hot shower would help me. I went upstairs and went into the bathroom to clear my mind.
When I was in the shower, I was washing my hair and my body and tried to think of other things. More important things. But it didn't work that very well… I placed both of my hands against the wall and lowered my head while the water was still pouring over me. There were so many questions unanswered. I sighed again whole I turned off the shower and grabbed a towel to dry of my body before I did my hair. When I was done, I went to the stairs to go back downstairs till a stopped and faced the door of my bedroom. I was pondering for a few moments before I went to my bedroom and opened the door slowly and silently. I peeked carefully inside and saw that she was sleeping. I got a small smile on my face before I closed the door again and went back downstairs to the living room to try to sleep too.
"Aaaaaah!" I woke up quickly and was looking around what it could be. I heard it then again and knew that it was the girl. I ran as quick as I could upstairs and opened my bedroom. I saw her panicking and struggling in bed. I noticed she had a nightmare and went quickly to her to try to wake her up. "It's alright, I'm here!" I went on the bed and tried to hold her so that she wouldn't hurt herself. She was quite struggling before she then finally woke up and holding me tight. I sighed of relief and wrapped my arms more around her to let her know that she was safe. "It was scary... It was so dark... I heard many things but I couldn't see anything." Her voice was trembling and wasn't planning to release her any moment. "It's alright... It was a nightmare... Nothing is going to happen to you, I promise." I tried to calm her down what finally succeeded after a few minutes. "I'm sorry that I woke you up, Kakashi." She was sniffing and heard that she was still crying. "Don't be silly." I chuckled a bit while I was stroking her hair to keep her calm. "Shall we get back downstairs and drinking some more tea?" I tried to face her or at least trying to let her facing me. She was then facing me while her cheeks were wet of her tears and removed them slowly with my thumbs. "Let's go then." My arms released her and went then from the bed to offer her my hand to help her getting up. She gave a small smile and accepted it whereby I brought her back downstairs.
After the tea was done and we had sat for a while downstairs I was wondering what her nightmare exactly was. "I understand if you don't want to talk about it but what did you hear exactly?" I faced her curious while I leaning forward with my elbows on my thighs and my fingers locked with each other. She wasn't very sure if she wanted to talk about it but was then facing me while she was holding her mug quite tight with both of her hands. "I can't really remember... it was two voices but they were interfering each other so I couldn't really hear what they were talking about. But somehow, I felt scared and was afraid." She was then looking scared into her mug. "I also don't dare to sleep... I'm so scared and also still confused what is all happening and what have happened. The biggest part is that I'm scared because I can't remember anything... I want to know who I am and why I'm here!" She raised her voice and was then crying again. I faced her with sympathy and was also thinking. "I have truly also no idea how we can fix this. But what I do know is that we keep searching for answers. Maybe the guards have missed something on the place delict." I faced her then again while she was removing her tears. "I heard that you had some of my belongings. Can I maybe see them tomorrow?" She was facing me still sad and scared but I could also see that she was serious. I nodded then to her. "Of course, you can. We will do that next in the morning after breakfast." She nodded then but I saw that she had something else on her mind. She was struggling with it and even got red cheeks. I was a bit confused but just waited till she would say something. "K-Kakashi?" I kept facing her and waited again till she would talk further. "I...I... Can I ask you... If you... Want... To sleep in the same room with me?" She was looking away and the question was surprising me. I also looked away and was pondering about it. Of course, I know that she doesn't mean to sleep in one bed... But the request was quite... Sudden... "I think I have a futon somewhere in my closet to lay it on the ground." I replied and saw that she was happy with that answer. "I really don't want to force you Kakashi... But I'm-" I hold up my hand to her and didn't let her finish. "It's alright. I would have honestly said no if I didn't wanted too." She was smiling again and would then going further with her tea.
After an hour we went back to bed to try to sleep again. I opened my closet to look for a futon and I was happy that I had still one inside. She was already laying back in my bed and snuggled under the sheets. I noticed that she was still blushing while I was spreading the futon on the ground. I closed then my door and my closet and went laying on the futon. "If there is something don't be afraid to wake me up alright?" I faced her a bit while I was laying on my back with my hands under my head. I saw her leaning over the edge a bit and nodded to me. "I will, Kakashi. Goodnight..." I nodded to her and wished her the same. It didn't took long before I saw that she was sleeping again plus that it was for me also quick when I felt asleep again after her.
