Only You Understand My Pain
Kakashi x Hinata
Chapter 6
Introductions
He sat leaning against the memorial. It had been six days since he had seen her last. He caught no sign of her in the village or here in his favorite spot, talking with his teammates. He knew she had changed the time of her visitations to avoid him. He forced himself not to stalk this special spot just to find her new time. Yet, he knew she was still coming to talk to her teammates. For every afternoon he would find a pale blue rose lying on the ground. The side with her teammates names. In his heart he just knew it was her loving hands that left it so gentle on the ground. Oh how this one woman perplexed him so. He really needed to stop thinking about her. She had become a constant thought plaguing his mind. How did this happen. He had been going through the motions of life for years now not becoming attached to anyone. Never in all the years since they had died did he have such a pull to another human being. He had to stop this. He didn't have room inside him anymore for feelings.
'Dammit pull it together! You are a shinobi you have no need of emotional attachments to others. Didn't I learn that the hard way already?' Leaning his head back he closed his eyes letting a light sleep close over him.
He awoke a few hours later. Something had roused him but he was unsure what as he looked around.
"Sorry if I woke you." Her voice sounding like a warm summer's breeze blowing across his face. He turned but still could not see her graceful body. He heard a small sigh leave her lips and he realized she was sitting on the opposite side of the stone.
"It's okay." Trying to stifle a yawn. "Sorry about scaring you off before."
"It's okay." She sighed heavily. "I was stupid to act like that."
Awkward silence filled the air as neither wanting to say anything. The breeze blowing softly around them.
"So, you like to talk to them too." She stated more then asked.
"Ya." Turing his head to the side he looked at their names. "I noticed you do too."
"Ya." Her hand lifting up touching their names tenderly. He closed his eyes as he felt an awkward pull run through him as if being led towards an idea or thought. Running a hand through his hair he let the thought take him. Standing up he walked around. His hand going out. She blinked several times before placing hers gentle in his. Tightening his grip he pulled her small body to her feet. She followed him to the other side. He stood in front of his side of the memorial stone his hand still firmly holding hers. After a few quiet sullen moments he finally spoke.
"Hinata, I would like you to meet Obito and Rin." Letting her hand go he gestured to the stone.
"Guys this is Hinata Hyuga."
"Very nice to meet you." Hinata bowed respectfully. He couldn't stop the tug at his heart nor the tug at the corner of his mouth as he watched her converse with his friends making introduction to her own teammates. What an insane sight they must have looked, yet it was the most lucid time he could remember in a very long time.
