Title: Just So You Know…
Chapter 2: Thinking of You!
Paring: Kakashi X Kurenai
Disclaimer: I own Naruto… ya' right!
My heart felt like breaking into pieces when I found out that Kurenai was in love with Asuma. I wanted to be happy for the both of them but no matter what I do, I just couldn't stop myself from getting jealous and hurt. I hated seeing them together… Yeah, that's selfish but I can't help it! I was planning to confess to her then she tells me that Asuma Just asked her out! It was… It's just so unfair! Life's always been unfair…
Kami-san always takes away the people who are dear to me. First my dad, then my best friend, then sensei and he had to take Kurenai also! He didn't really take her but he did give her to Asuma! Yeah… that's soooo great! Thanks a lot! I've always wanted to know what I've done to deserve this… to have so much pain in my heart… to lose all the people I love…I've always loved Kurenai. She made my life very meaningful. She brought happiness to my life. Having her with me made me so happy. It felt like my life's really worth-living even if I've lost so much… She made me forget all of the horrible moments of my life. She was my happiness…
-o-
I woke up at eight in the morning… Damn I was late again… My team's gonna kill me! I quickly got up and put on my working clothes. I went to our meeting place and saw Naruto and Sakura glaring at me.
"Sensei…" Naruto mumbled. "YOU ARE LATE AGAIN!!!!" He started to yell so loudly that it almost broke my ear drum.
"Geez… Naruto could ya' stop whining and quit being such a baby! Don't act as if you're not used to it! I guess… you've been gone too long haven't you?" Sakura got the initiative to stop her teammate from being childish. "Wake up! That's not Jiraiya-san. That's Kakashi-sensei. He's always late! Just look at the bright side. At least you don't have to train with someone who's perverted enough to make you use your useless sexy jutsu."
"Ouch, Sakura you know, that hurts. You're just saying that because you haven't seen the special features of my sexy jutsu. Besides, the sexy jutsu isn't so useless at all. I use it to motivate Pervy Sage to train me!"
"Yeah… You really have a stupid way of motivating him! What have you learned from him, anyway?"
"Well I-
"OKAY… Stop it you guys… Let's just start with the training session."
-o-
It's been almost 2 hours of training with my students but they still haven't taken the bells from me. But they're still full of energy. My students have gone really strong while they were training with Jiraiya-san and Tsunade-sama. I can't even read Icha Icha when I'm sparring with them now.
"Kakashi! Kakashi!" I heard someone from behind me say. I turned around to face the person and saw that it was Shizune, Tsunade-sama's assistant.
"Hey, Shizune what brings you here?" I asked curiously.
"Kakashi, Tsunade-sama wants to talk to you. It's an emergency."
From the way Shizune talks, it's pretty obvious that there's something wrong. So I called my students and told them that we have to postpone our training. Then we went to Tsunade-sama's office to ask why she called for us. When we enter I saw Team Kurenai, Team Gai, Team Asuma and Anko. It seems like this meeting is really urgent.
"What's the problem, Master?" I asked.
"Our village is in trouble. I've just found out that the Akatsuki is coming to our village."
"And what do they want, now?" Gai asked.
"They only want one thing from Konoha…" I replied. "They want the jinjuriki of the Kyuubi no Yoko… they want Naruto…"
"But if that's the main reason why they're about to attack our village then we should protect Naruto!" Hinata said worriedly. Hinata always gets worried when it comes to Naruto. Everyone knows that she has a "thing" for him. Well… everyone except Naruto. It's not that Hinata didn't tell him. Infact, she's really obvious about it… Naruto's just dense… Poor Hinata.
"Yes… that's right. That's why I called you guys. Kakashi and Kurenai, I want you to do your best to protect Naruto. Sakura and Ino, You're gonna help me in the Hospital. Hinata you will have to go with your cousin Neji. And the rest of you will have to help the ANBU and some other more jonins to fight the Akatsuki. That's all."
"Wait you old woman, how about me? What should I do?" Naruto asked.
"You will have to listen to your teachers."
"You mean I can't fight? That's unfair!" Naruto shouted in protest.
"Naruto, you know what they want from you and you know that they'll do anything to take that bijuu from you. Your father's seal is getting weaker and weaker. It's too dangerous for you to fight." I told him.
"Yes… I understand sensei. I'm sorry…"
-o-
"So, you're having a mission with Kurenai, eh?" Gai teased. "You should be happy!"
"Gai, you know that this is serious!" I stated. "Besides, she already has a boyfriend. There's no way she could feel the same."
"But I thought you confessed to her!"
"I was about to. But she told me that she and Asuma are dating. So, I never got the chance to tell her what I feel."
"That's too bad. I'm sorry, Kakashi."
"It's disappointing, isn't it? But you don't have to be sorry, though. I'm happy for her anyway. At least she's happy."
-o-
"Sensei, may I talk to you?" Sakura asked.
"Sure. What do you want to talk about?"
"You've been acting very strange lately. Is there something wrong?" She asked, making me nervous.
"N-no, there's nothing wrong w-with me! Hehe… Why?"
"Are you sure? Because, you don't look so fine to me sensei?" She said as she stared at me suspiciously, making me tremble.
"Not fine! Haha! Of course I'm fine! And could you stop staring at me with those crimson eyes!- I mean green eyes! I said I'm fine Sakura! Don't worry, okay. Umm, if you'll excuse me, my genjutsu mistress- I- I mean, my dear student Sakura, I really have to go pack my shurikens and Kurenai- I mean kunai. And uhh… Oh! Look at the time it's getting late! Got to go! Buh- bye!"
I quickly entered my house and shut the door.
'What the hell's happening to me? I can't get her out of my mind! I should stop thinking about her! She's with Asuma."
