Kakashi wandered around the village of Konoha, his head staring only at the muddy ground he walked along. 'Damnit, Kakashi, you really made a fool out of yourself with her today.' He thought to himself as he sat down at the fountain, it's surface wet from the pouring rain, but he didn't care.

The Sharingan Ninja thought back to earlier today, at the hotspring where she got upset with him. 'Well of course Kimiko-chan would get upset by what you picked out for her to wear. She said herself that she wasn't one of your fantasy characters. Maybe you should have taken that into consideration when picking out a bathing suit for her to wear.' He ran his gloved hand over his wet headband, still over his face, hiding his red sharingan eye. 'I have to go apologize to her for what I did. She should at least deserve that much.'

Kimiko ran past the fountain, nearly slipping on the slick ground as she saw Kakashi sitting at the edge of the fountain, his head down, and his arms crossed. He looked up at her, soaking wet from the rain that was steadily pouring down on them from above the heavens. Biting her lower lip, she was shivering. "Kakashi-kun….I…." She walked towards him, and he stood up, and embraced her in his strong arms.

She couldn't stand it anymore. She wrapped her arms around him and started to cry into his chest. "Shhh, it's okay Kimiko-chan. It's alright." Kakashi soothed her as he lifted up her chin with a finger and wiped away her tears with his thumb. He held her face in his hands, simply looking at her painful expression. "I didn't mean to hurt you like that, I'm so sorry." Kakashi leaned over her ear and whispered "It's alright, Kimiko-chan. I still care for you, if so even more."

Kimiko looked up at him, surprised he would still care for her after what had happened earlier that day. She smiled, glad that he hadn't pushed her away like she had feared. She hugged him tightly, as he returned the hug just as tight, smoothing down her hair with his right hand.

"So….are you going to be okay now?" Kakashi said as he looked down on her, smiling, his single revealed eye closed. She looked up, and nodded. "Let's get you home then okay?" He said as he released her and turned back towards the direction of her apartment. "Actually, Kakashi-kun, I was wondering…." Kimiko started as he turned his head "Hm? You want to spend the night at my place?"

She blushed, and smiled, looking down at the ground. "Yes, if you don't think that would be a problem for you. I don't want to spend tonight alone." Kimiko had spent many rainy nights alone with just herself and Kona, but this night was different. Tonight she had someone who cared about her more than words could describe. She wanted to be with him, and him with her. Kakashi smiled underneath his mask. "I would love the company Kimiko."

He put his arm around her shoulder. Kimiko looked up at him and smiled. "Thank you Kakashi." They both turned in the direction of the sharingan nin's apartment and walked off into the rainy night.
