Chapter 8: Heaven

I walk down a long hallway into a dark room. Several cloaked and masked figures are standing in a semi circle, one with spiky silver hair, whom I immediately recognized as Kakashi. They went to one knee as the hokage entered after me and went to a table that had clothing articles and a mask laying on it. And a new headband. He handed it to me and told me to change.

After doing so and returning to the room the hokage handed me the mask and headband. He smiled at me and nodded.

"Though you have been with the Akatsuki these past two years, you have proven your loyalty to Konoha. We welcome you into the Anbu Black Ops," he watched as I tied on my headband and positioned the mask to the side of my head.

Kakashi crossed over to me, "The hokage has placed us in the same team."

"Is that wise Hokage-sama?" Another member asked.

"Yes. These two would make the perfect team," he patted my shoulder, "For the fear of losing the one you love is a powerful weapon."

Kakashi led me to get our first mission together. Go to the Land of Snow and guard the little princess from her uncle.

On the boat ride to there I was leaning against the railing during the second day of our week long trip. Kakashi came to join me and put his arm around my waist.

"You know, we'll be at the Land of Snow in a few days," he whispered, "And I want to show you something."

I knew what he was talking about and turned to him, "Tonight?"

He nodded, "Are you sure my love?"

"I want to be yours," I smiled, "I already asked the captain to wed us."

Kakashi nodded and went to go speak to the captain. I leaned back on the railing and stared out into the open sea.

The captain wed us and popped open a bottle of sake to celebrate. Kakashi and I knew that though our friends didn't surround us, this mission could end our lives, and we wanted to be married before anything happened. We wet to our quarters for the night and I lead Kakashi to the bed. I was nervous, thinking that if sex was anything like what Madara did to me, it would hurt.

"Madara took your virginity and raped you Azelea-koibito," Kakashi hugged me tightly, "I promise I'll be gentle and won't do anything without your permission."

I trusted Kakashi with all of my heart. I knew he wouldn't hurt me. I nodded and kissed him. Laying me gently down on my back he made sure I was relaxed with massages and gentle kisses on my body. I could tell he really wanted to make up for what Madara did to me. I shed my clothes and stood up, revealing myself to my husband. I felt his eyes roam my body, but they felt gentle, unlike that time with Madara which was full of malice and a hunger I haven't witnessed before that. Kakashi stood up and took his clothes off too, revealing himself to me. Still, he kept his mask on.

"Why do you still have your mask on?" I asked, "For one its kinda hard to kiss you with it on."

"The black marks spread recently. I don't want you seeing them," he looked at his hand.

I walked over and yanked his mask off. The black marks had spread, looking almost like Katakana characters. I touched them lightly before Kakashi blew up on me.

"It looks like they're turning into a tattoo," my words shocked him.

I kissed him deeply and we fell onto the bed together. Kakashi rolled on top of me and lifted himself up to where he was on his arms above me. I nodded and he kissed me as he entered me. But unlike when Madara, he was gentle and gave me time to adjust. This experience felt like heaven. I knew I was finally close to Kakashi in a way no one could ever be.
