Valentine POV
Naruto and Jiraya had just left a couple days ago to find one of the legendary Sannin. I was walking around the village with Kakashi.
"I wonder what it'll look like." He said randomly.
"What?" I asked.
"The baby. Maybe it'll have your eyes." He said,
"Maybe it's hair will stand up." I said and he chuckled.
"Maybe." He said.
"Want to go out to dinner tonight?" He asked and I nodded.
"Lets go somewhere we haven't been before." I said excited.
"Alright, where?" he asked.
"I dunno, I haven't been there." I said but he looked serious walking up to Asuma and Kurenai.
"Valentine I think you should go home, I'll be there in a little while ok?" he asked and I nodded.
"Alright, are you ok?" I asked a bit confused on the sudden mood change.
"Yes, I'm fine. I'll see you later." He said kissing my check and I walked home… I had no idea what was going on right there… but I found out soon enough.
Kakashi POV
"Kakashi what did you find out on the day of the chunnin exams?" Asuma asked,
"He wants to know how someone with Valentines Kekkei genkei would react to the curse seal, and how out bloodlines would mix." I said and he looked serious.
"Is it safe to send Valentine home alone right now?" he asked,
"With Orochimaru's arms the way they are now, he wont bother us for a little while. Or ever, he's focused on something else." I said.
They nodded and we went our separate ways, but I could sense a bad chakra source somewhere in the village. I wanted to find it and check it out. In my snooping around I could smell blood, and knew a battle was happening, I followed my nose and was confronted with Asuma and Kurenai fighting Itachi and Kisame from Akatsuki.
Valentine POV
I was at home hanging out with Kakashi's dogs, we were all on the floor, they were still refusing the couch or bed. And I was reading aloud. It was a random book they said they liked. After a few hours I started tow worry,
-Why hasn't he returned? I knew it was weird that he got serious all of a sudden, he seemed tense. I should have made him come home too. Damnit where is he?! He is always late… but never with me. Maybe he got held up… but what could possibly hold him up? The only thing I could think of was a fight, He wouldn't shop and he wasn't the type to get held up in conversation that would cause him to be late.- I thought and sighed. I made dinner for myself and put some for Kakashi in the fridge. He was really late at that point, he would never suggest dinner out and then not come home. I was going to leave when Pakkun stopped me,
"If he was held up with something, its probably very important and you know that." Pakkun said.
"But what if he's in danger?" I said,
"Then he is with Asuma and Kurenai, your pregnant and he would kill me and be mad neyond belief if you walked out and something happened to the baby. He's trying so ahrd to protect you, don't make that for nothing." He said to me and I reluctantly nodded.
"Your right." I said and laid down on the couch with a pillow and after a few hours of shut eye I fell asleep.
Pakkun POV
Valentine was very worried, and so was I. I could tell she was restless by how long it took her to fall asleep. There was a knock at the door,
"Come in." I called. And it was Asuma.
"What are you doing here? Where's Kakashi? Valentines worried sick." I said.
"He's in the hospital… In a coma." He said and my eyes widened.
"Crap…" I said.
"Itachi and Asuma from Akatsuki, itachi caught him in some kind of powerful Genjutsu. Sasuke found out and ran off." He said.
"This is bad… really bad. We have to tell Valentine." I said. I walked on top of her nudging her, she woke up with a startle.
"Pakkun? Asuma? What are you doing here? Where's Kakashi?" she asked.
"He's in a Coma." Asuma answered.
"What?! Where? I want to see him. Take me there!" she said I could see tears forming in her eyes.
"Calm down Valentine. He's not dead he's just not… waking… up." He said slowly.
"How is that supposed to make me feel better?! I want to see him God damnit! Take me there NOW!!" she shouted. Asuma teleported her there right away and she ran next to his bed,
"Kakashi!" she said letting her tear fall. She sat down next to the hospital bed and held his hand,
"Please wake up, wake up." She said more so to herself.
"Valentien you should go home, you shouldn't be in this environment." I said.
"No, I'm staying next to him." She said resting her head on the bed, her mascara was running and she looked like a mess.
This was new to me, I don't think Kakashi has even ever see her snap at someone, she really SCREAMED at Asuma. She actually seemed angry, and sad at the same time. She's never showed this many bad emotions to anyone and it scared me, I was really worried.
- I never considered this but now that I think about it Kakashi is all she has. She has no one close to her, her only friend died a year before she met him… she must've been a mess before she met him. He was probably the light in her life. If he died she would fall apart… I don't think he realizes that. He has to wake up. - I thought. I had just realized how much they really loved each other… when he thought Valentine had died he was a mess, not letting anyone talk to him, not even me. He would go off alone probably thinking about her… He was consumed with the thought that it was his fault. She was probably feeling the same way.
I could hear her whispering for him not to leave her.
