Kakashi gets sick ch.5

Ok, I know it took forever, I rarely have free time anymore and typing for me is just annoying sometimes, It's 11 whilst I'm writing this and I'm tired so if by some chance something doesn't make sense I'm sorry.

"An epidemic," I asked Tsunade confused. "What do you mean?"

"We've conformed at least 3 other cases. I think the akasuki planned this. Kakashi is one of our strongest shinobi…and losing him right now… is the worst thing that could've happened in Konoha." Tsunade said with a solemn sound.

"So I started the epidemic…? I'm confused Tsunade, besides look at me…I'm better now aren't in?" Kakashi asked.

He was always very smart and logical, this wasn't the normal him…it was obvious to me that he still wasn't 100%. I sighed and looked at him, still thinking about the kiss. For the first time I felt sparks fly when our lips first touched. I thought we were just friends…but maybe we could be more...I feel like such a child...some teenager star stuck by some famous person. Dreaming of the impossible. I shook my head to clear my mind, and then looked at Tsunade.

"What should we do my lady?" I asked.

"You and Kakashi are going to look for this bug that infected Kakashi. I'm sure there are more like it and I'm positive you two are the best suited for this mission…and I don't want either of you alone considering the recent events here…"Tsunade said. I knew she was talking about Asuma's death. I couldn't bring myself to stay in that house alone; I wanted to be with someone. I didn't want to be alone. Kakashi was the only person that would ever bring me happiness. He made me laugh when I needed to laugh, and he's helped me through a lot of tough times…like the loss of my mother a few years back. Asuma was on a mission when it happened, but I never could bring myself to talk to him about it. I talked with Kakashi, he made me feel safe. Maybe all this…was just a sign…telling me, that Kakashi and I are supposed to be together…

"Is that ok with you Kurenai?" Kakashi asked.

"Huh? W-What? Is what ok? I'm sorry…I got distracted…" I said knowing they'd both understand.

"They only have one tent…. You don't mind sharing with me do you?" Kakashi asked.

"No. it isn't a problem." I said smiling slightly, but trying to hide it from them.

"Good. You leave in the morning." Tsunade said.

"Yes ma'am..." Kakashi and I said in unison. We headed back to Kakashi's place to pack our stuff. On the way back we accidently stumbled to a small koi pond, though I'm not really convinced it was by accident.

"This is a nice place…don't you think Kurenai..?" Kakashi said with a smile.

"It's beautiful….I'd love if I would've gotten married here…sadly that'll never happen…"I said looking at my reflection in the pond. Kakashi put his arm around my waist hesitantly.

"Who said that'd never happen…? You are like my best friend Kurenai, and one day I hope we can be more…but I know it's too soon for you…" Kakashi said.

"I never said that Kakashi….I'm just scared..." I said.

"Scared of what…?" Kakashi asked looking worried.

"Of losing someone else I…"I began but stopped myself thinking of whether or not this all was real. Was this really happening..? Was I gonna tell him that I loved him…Just right here…after losing Asuma..? What if her thinks I'm a slut…? What if he doesn't really feel the same way… and it's just the after effect of this disease…?

"Someone else you…?" Kakashi asked snapping me out of my thoughts once again.

I took a deep breath.

"Someone else I love….Your my best friend…yet…I've…it just….you've been there for me through everything….I do love you Kakashi…I'm sorry it took me this long to realize it…." I said softly.

"Oh? Well…I love you too Kurenai…you're the absolute best thing in my life and I couldn't think of life without you. I've loved you for a really long time…I've just always been too chicken to actually say anything to you, and of course I thought you were gonna marry Asuma…" Kakashi said.

I couldn't help but smile and throw myself onto him hugging him as tight as I could.

"Kakashi Hatake….Without you…I would've been stuck in my house crying myself to sleep and eating ice cream." I said laughing a little.

"Umm maybe this isn't the time…but..." he said softly making me let go of him and getting on one knee. I gasped.

"Ka-Kakashi? I-isn't this a bit too soon?" I asked tearing up.

"No…it isn't…the more time I can spend with you being my wife…the happier I'll be…besides…I love you…and I don't think that you really need any reassurance…no dates… you can already tell I love you with all my heart, plus I'd like to at least be engaged…at least until you're ready to get married…but this way… no one can take you from my arms again." He said pulling out a little black box from his pocket and opening it. The ring was beautiful it had 3 diamonds that shined brightly under the full moon.

"Kurenai….will you make me the happiest man in the world…and spend the rest of your life with me..?" He asked. I stood there shocked and crying.

"You shouldn't have to ask…When you know the answer already..." I said smiling.

Kakashi smiled as big as he could, and slipped the ring onto my finger. I hugged him crying into his chest.

"I'll protect you Kurenai…I'm glad we could…bond…like this…" He said softly.

"We…need to go pack Kakashi..." I said with a smile. He nodded and we headed back to his house. I smiled the entire way looking at the beautiful ring and beautiful man I was going to be married to. I felt truly happy. I was finally getting what I wanted most in life…a man that loved me for being me…someone that was my best friend…but also my soul mate. I never thought this is how…actually….in never thought that Kakashi and I would be together…but…it felt…right.

Ok, I'm gonna go to bed now it's like 12…but tell me what u think? I'm thinking that when they go to get this bug…that something's may happen. I won't go into detail but they will get the biggest surprise of their lives. It's a good one though. I'm sorry this chapter took so long. But I hope you enjoyed! Good night!
