Ok I'm so sorry for the delay and super short chapter! Honto gomenasai minna! My writer's block just made itself a bed inside my head and refuses to leave!
Warning: Contains angst, pain and the end for Sakura's loud screams. Enjoy ^^
"Hello Sasuke-kun!" I winced at the sound of Sakura's voice and closed my book, placing it back into my pouch. "Where's Naruto-baka and Naruko-san anyway?" At first, her voice was annoyed, then full of respect. 'Multiple personalities' ran in my head, but I ignored it as I jumped down from my hiding spot and hunched down, leaning against a red pole. "Ohio, Sasuke-kun, Sakura-chan. Where's Naruto-kun?" Sakura looked at me somewhat in awe, kami knows why, and Sasuke barely nodded. "Naruto-baka? He's not here yet, he's always late, not as late as Kakashi-sensei, but still…" I raised a brow as I brushed my bangs over my right eye. "Just wondered… oh and Sakura-chan, can I talk to you a little?" She nodded and walked closer to me.
When she was within reach though, I grabbed her and sat her down almost on my lap. "You like Sasuke-kun right?" She nodded, a slight pink coloured her cheeks. That sent a slight stab in my heart for Naruto, but I couldn't just focus on him. "Then you shouldn't be all over him." She looked dumbfounded, so I continued. "Boys usually don't like girls who are all over them, but those who –well not avoids them, but… keeps their distance if you understand-. Stop calling him 'Sasuke-kun' and try to talk with Naruto or I more, he-well even Kakashi. Try to avoid eye contact and please, for all beings on earth, stop scream at him." She blinked, but then nodded, a smile gracing her face. "I'll try." I nodded and let her go. "Go from him." I winked and she blushed, looking away from me.
I sighted as Naruto came running towards us, his hand raised in a wave and a grin that could rival mothers on his face. "OHIO SAKURA-CHAN!" He's defiantly mothers child… I shook my head and got up, looking over the area. "Ohio Naruto-kun." He stopped and looked at me, his grin shirked into a smile and he closed his eyes. "Ohio Naruko-sensei!" I smiled at his words and walked up to him, wrapping an arm around his shoulders. "I like the sound of that, please don't stop calling me that, ne?" He grinned and suddenly, Kakashi appeared on the bridge. No orange book in sight. "Hai hai… Naruko-sensei." I laughed a bit forced, and noticed that he responded just as forced with an eye smile. "So, Kakashi-sensei what's the plan for today?" He cringed slightly, but I noticed that he had gotten less tense already. "Some missions, then a short training session." I groaned playfully as I looked at the students faces. "Let's get going already!" With that, I started to hush them to the Hokage tower, Kakashi trailing behind.
"Kakashi…" I trailed off, but put my hand on his elbow and started to make my way away from the genins. He followed my lead, and soon we were far enough from the students so they couldn't hear us, but we them. "Kakashi…I" I tried again, but words got stuck in my through, not wanting to leave my lips. It felt like thirteen years ago, after the Kyuubi attack.
Flash Back! Again!
Pain. Hurt. Useless. Broken. Worthless. Alone. I kicked the door in and ran towards his bedroom. I faintly heard someone shout, but ignored it. Only when I crashed into a hard chest, did I concentrate on the world around me again. "Ka-Kaka-shi…" I mumbled, my through burned and my whole body ached. But my heart felt like it was torn into pieces, as it had been eaten before stuffed back into my chest, badly sewed together. I felt his arms wrap around me, showering me with warmth and comfort. He stayed silent, until I couldn't cry anymore. My eyes burned, like being cut with razor sharp blades too small for the eye to see. That black orb, oddly enough being filled with light and compassion proved me wrong. I'm not useless. I'm not worthless. I may be in pain, hurt and broken. But I'm not alone. I wrapped my arms around his neck, fisted his hair and laid my head on his chest. "Kaka-shi…" He stroked my back. His warm and firm hands moved on each side of my back, in an unbreakable rhythm. "…kiss me.."
Flash Back! KAI!
I ruffled my hair, including my bangs, reviling my right eye. "It looks better now than before." Kakashi complemented softly. I merely nodded, touching it with my fingernails. "Kakashi… about, you know… yesterday?" He nodded, his whole body going tense. I gulped, my nerves going through the roof. "Kakashi… I didn't… it just happened…" I quickly looked away. In the distance, we could hear the students' pants for air. "I thought so… just don't worry-" I moved the bangs back into place, covering my eye and turned to him as he had started to walk away. "I'm Rin's after all, aren't I?" I froze and felt a slight poke in my heart. It didn't hurt, but I hated the feeling. Maybe… I didn't agree anymore? I looked at his back as he walked away. Why had I the feeling that I wanted him to stop? I quickly ran next to him, looking away.
"Naruko-sensei!" Naruto yelled as we reached the clearing. I smiled, but soon got the after effects. My little brother, the one I only want to hold… don't feel the same way. "What is it, Naruto-kun?" In my head, I said 'what is it, Naruto-niichan?'. I'm pathetic. "I can't get this genjutsu thingy to work! Help me, please!" I smiled, but shook my head. "It's something you have to figure out yourself. Why? Well if I show you, you might want me to show you other, harder things and soon, you would depend on someone showing you how to do things. So, no." He glared at me and scoffed. "Ok…" I smiled and nodded in approval.
I really hope this chapter at leats was a bandied on the wound of tardiness... well I'll try to get faster and kick my writer's out of it's house inside my head, and that's a promise of a life time! (gomene, couldn't resist^^)
Ja ne x3
