Love Like You've Never Been Hurt

by ForeverAimer

I ran. I ran as fast as I could from that place. I couldn't take it anymore 5 years of full torture. 5 years of hard training to become the next greatest and most powerful assassin. 5 years of feeling unwanted. 5 years of crying every night. 5 years of knowing I killed my own parents, my family, my Kazoku. 5 years being called 2-2-5. My name is Kimiko.

21. Chapter 21

"I QUIT! I QUIT!", I rolled my eyes and got off Ripcord who was on the floor with a busted lip. Its been a month since the whole training started and let me tell you one thing, relationships do not work with training. And by relationships I mean Snake and I, we never have any time together. I felt my cheek go numb breaking my out of my thoughts. I looked and Scarlett was standing in front of me with a smile, "I got a hit! I slappe-", I cut her off by kicking her making her fall to the ground. "I'm out, you guys are useless...", Scarlett gave me a glare and stopped me before I went in the elevator. "You wanted us to train, we're training.", I rolled my eyes, "Practice with your boyfriend!", I said but Snake stopped me from going in the elevator. "I don't even have a boyfriend...", Scarlett muttered as she went towards Rip and started fighting.

"You okay?", Snake signed as he pushed me in the elevator closing the doors behind us, "I'm just...so frustrated.", Snake hugged me and rubbed my back, "At least they're making progress, they already got so much better. You got to admit it.", he signed as he let me go. "I know, and I'm proud of them, but its just...this takes so much time." Snake was about to sign but the doors opened revealing Lady Jaye, "Oh hey guys...", Snake nodded and patted my shoulder as he got out of the elevator. "Did I interrupt something?", I shook my head.

"So what's up with you and Snake?", she finally asked after a few minutes. "What do you mean?", she smiled, "You two together?", I had to stop myself from smiling, "Uh...why do you ask?", she stopped the elevator from opening, "It's so obvious Kimiko. I mean even if Snake wears a mask you can tell he's always looking out for you. Everybody sees it.", I smiled, "He looks out for everyone.", she shook her head, "He doesn't. Only to you. When you get hurt he gets so aggressive towards that person. He cares about you...I think he loves you.", I felt my cheeks go bright red, "AND YOU LOVE HIM!". I smiled and pushed her playfully. "AW!". She opened the elevator doors and Snake was standing there, "Don't worry Snake I didn't do anything to your precious Kimiko.", Jaye said playfully as she patted Snakes arm. "You told her?", he signed, "Nope, I guess we make it too obvious", there was a light chuckle, "You mean you make it obvious.", I gasped dramatically, "Me?! I do not!". Snake grabbed my hand and pointed at the faint 'S' marking on my wrist. "You wrote that.", I said as I pulled my hand away, "You were supposed to wash it off.", he signed as he crossed his arms. "Diva", he chuckled and pinched my cheeks.

"Alpha report to my office", Hawk said from the intercom. I groaned and looked at Snake, he nodded and got closer to me. I smiled and jumped on his back, "You're so kind..", I heard him chuckle as he walked to Hawks office.
