She was standing outside of Tsunade's tower with a torch a bow and some arrows with the tips wrapped in fabric and dipped in excelerant when Kakashi caught up to her. "Naru!" He called a second before hitting the ground right behind her and jerked the bow out of her hands before she could set fire to the arrow and loose it on their Kage's home/work place. "What the hell are you doing?" He snarled in her ear.
Naru's response was to turn herself around and punch him in the shoulder- hard. "Shut the hell up Kakashi I don't want to hear anything from you!" She snarled back angrily. Kakashi rubbed his shoulder and looked a little taken aback by her tone. In all the years he'd known her, she had never once sounded so- so vicious.
She has every reason to sound vicious- Kakashi's mind hissed. After all, your the one that got her in this mess and then you didn't even bother to mention something to her even if it was only a half ruth. Naru isn't stupid. She's noticed everyone acting oddly around her. It was your mistake in thinking that she wouldn't.
It was true. All of it, yet Kakashi wasn't sure what to do about it. So Naru had noticed that something was odd about everyone's behavior. That didn't mean that she knew the reasons why everyone was acting so strangely. So he needed to come up with a nice semi believable lie since he doubted that she would believe just any old thing.
"Okay Naru, calm down and-" She punched him in the shoulder again and growled from between clenched teeth.
"I. Am. Calm."
"Right so your hitting me just for fun then?" He asked sarcastically and yelped when she punched him again- this time in the stomach forcing the air from his lungs as he doubled over gasping for air.
"Fuck yes I'm hitting you for fun! I want to know what everyone is hiding from me and I want to know now. And so help me god Kakashi if you lie to me about why you've been living with me or why everyone is acting so fucking funny; I'll rip your head off and kill you and blame everything on the hormones!" Naru shouted in a shrill tone that Kakashi had only heard once in all the time he'd known her.
She was using her Sauske-is-gone voice. For her to use that voice with him she must really be distressed.
You need to calm her down jackass. The stress isn't good for her and could cause her to miscarry. His mind hissed at him as he finally caught his breath and put his hands up in a placating gesture, hoping to buy himself a little time until she punched him again and said in a breathless tone.
"Okay. I'll tell you what you want to know just calm down-" Naru looked like she was about to say something snide to him about being calm again but he cut her off by quickly saying, "The stress is bad for the baby." Naru glared at him for a second and muttered something under her breath then took a deep calming breath then resumed her glaring with a little less anger.
"I'm waiting Kakashi." She said impatiently as Kakashi wracked his brain to come up with an answer and quickly decided to use her memory loss against her to half assed fill in the blanks.
"Alright, here's the truth in a nut shell. Before you lost your memories you and I were...engaged to be married. Then we went on a small mission- nothing was supposed to go wrong. But a bunch of things did. You were hurt so I grabbed you and ran. I tried to treat your wounds but I'm not a medic so aside from that I had to plan accordingly because I wasn't sure if you would remember me, your feelings, or the life we had been planning to build together. And when you woke up and couldn't remember what had happened. I got scared. You kept calling me Kakashi-sensei. Not Kakashi or koi like you used too-"
"I had lost you... well, the you that was from before. However I couldn't bring myself to prey on you and use your memory loss against you to make you think that we were lovers. Because that would be wrong-" Sort of like this whole damned explination. He thought, feeling sick to his stomach. "So I just decided to sort of...watch over you."
"And that's why everyone is acting so strangely?"
"I told Tsunade that I wasn't sure when your memories would come back or if they would come back and she did a few things to make the village a more comfortable place for you. We didn't expect you to wind up pregnant with my baby Naru, and now that you are I can't leave you alone. Do you understand?"
Naru looked torn between the lie he'd woven to appease her and kicking him in the nuts for not saying something sooner. Than after a second she put her hand against her stomach and asked in a slightly frightened voice. "The baby is really ours?"
Kakashi reached out and put one of his hands over hers and smiled a little bit, feeling sad about this whole mess yet strangely happy too. Whatever happened next, he felt he could accept with open arms. But he didn't epect Naru to suddenly ask him, "Do you still want to marry me?" In fact he felt a little thrown by that particular question.
But his mind kept screaming at him, Go with the illusion! It's the safest way! He took a step closer to her and wrapped his free arm around her shoulders and hugged her as he sealed his fate. "If you'll have me. Then yes."
