Chapter 8
It was around 10 o'clock when Nikiya finally woke up. Nikiya looked up at Kakashi's sleeping face and tugged his mask down sleepily. She gently kissed him and whispered, "Good morning." He opened his eyes and looked around.
He sighed and stretched out. "Good morning, Nikki." He said sleepily.
"You're gonna be late again, Silver." Nikiya said with a laugh.
"Don't you remember? In the book it said to make the students wait as long as you can without having them leave." Kakashi said with a laugh.
Nikiya laughed as well. "So you actually use that stuff?" she asked.
"Of course." Kakashi said smugly. Nikiya got up carefully and almost instantly fell to the floor.
"Nikiya? Nikiya! Are you okay?" Kakashi jumped out of the bed and ran over to her. She was clutching her leg where the needle had gone through.
"It hurts." She moaned. Kakashi picked her up carefully and set her back on the bed. He bit his thumb and made handsigns over a scroll that he grabbed off his table.
"Summoning Jutsu!" he called. A small pug appeared in front of him.
"Yo, Kakashi. What do you need?" the pug asked. Kakashi vigorously wrote down something on a piece of paper and handed it to the pug.
"Take this to Tsunade as quickly as you can. I don't care if she's asleep just get it to her." He said quickly. The pug jumped away.
"Don't worry, Nikki. You'll have help soon." Kakashi whispered. Tsunade suddenly appeared with Shizune in a puff of smoke.
"OINK OINK!" Tonton called from his position on the ground.
"What happened?" Tsunade said with an annoyed look on her face. She quickly walked over to Nikiya and looked at her leg. A large bruise was right where the needle had been.
"I don't understand. The antidote should have worked. You released all of the jutsus from her beforehand, right? Sometimes certain protection jutsus block the antidote from working correctly." Shizune said.
"You didn't say that was what it took! I don't even know if she had any jutsus on her!" Tsunade yelled.
Kakashi blocked Tsunade from Nikiya. "I know what jutsus she has on her and if they're released now she might die." Kakashi said calmly. Tsunade looked at him, confused.
"What do you mean, Kakashi?" Tsunade asked.
"I mean… that maybe… Nikiya has a few risky um… illegal jutsus that she put over herself to protect from pain." Kakashi said. He was unsure if they were still there, but he knew that if they were released now it would be like going through 6 years of pain all over again.
"Which ones?" Tsunade asked accusingly.
"The ones that if removed will put her through all the pain she's been protected from since it's been put up." Kakashi said, more sure of himself now.
Tsunade stayed silent and nodded her head, thinking. "Shizune, find her records. I want to know more about this girl. Kakashi, you help me find out a way to release these jutsus." Tsunade ordered. Shizune disappeared in a puff of smoke while Kakashi walked over to Nikiya.
"I have an idea." He said softly.
"What is it? I don't want you to do anything rash." Tsunade said.
"If I could channel even some of the pain away from her then maybe we could do this with less of a risk." Kakashi said. He didn't expect Tsunade to let him do this but he would risk everything to keep Nikiya safe.
"Fine. Just don't go too far with it." Tsunade said, waving him off. Kakashi gave her a look of confusion. "Come on. Get on with it." Tsunade said. She stood watching him with her arms crossed.
Kakashi started to make handsigns. Tsunade saw a soft blue glow show up around Kakashi. He gently touched Nikiya's wrist. The light flowed over Nikiya's body. "Alright. Release it." Kakashi said with a sigh. The blue light stretched between the two of them. Kakashi closed his eyes and sat down next to Nikiya. He allowed himself to drop into a sleep-like trace.
"Release!" Tsunade said with a simple hand-sign. Nikiya and Kakashi both screamed.
AN: and this is why i feel evil mahaha. left you with a cliffy. of course since the next chap is going up so quickly i guess it wont be but still. anyways. i feel rather stupid for the beginning of this chapter. i mean really. my 16 year old brain must have thought "oh kakashi using a summoning jutsu just to send a freaking MESSAGE totally isn't unnecessary nooooooo" so i do apologize for that stupidness.
