Amaya POV-
By the time we made it back to the coffee shop it was 11:00pm, so because I had the most rest I told everyone I would take the rest of the night shift. Kio wanted to argue but she was too tired. So everyone went to bed and I sat outside on the first step like last night but, I was with Kakashi last time. An image of Kakashi laughing at me popped into my head, just like the image of him laughing when I was under that weirdo guy's spell. I shook my head trying to rid the thought of what happened. I bring my legs up to my chest and held them close. 'I wish I was more helpful in that fight.'
"It's cold outside; I think it's even colder than last night." I said to myself.
"I think your right." I jump off the step and fell on the ground and turn to see Kakashi standing in front of the door.
"Don't scare me like that." I said standing up but feeling a pain in my right ankle causes me to stay on the ground, "Great." I mumbled to myself checking out my ankle.
"Sorry." Kakashi said helping me up to the step, "I thought you would get cold." He said handing me the same blanket from last night.
"Thanks." I said but he had already made his way back inside. 'I wish he stayed longer.'
"Let me see your ankle." I heard Kakashi behind me but I didn't fall off the step this time.
"Huh?" I said confused but then saw a small first aid kit in his hand, "Kakashi I'm fine." I said starting to blush.
But he didn't listen to me; instead him put his hands on my shoulder and forced me to turn my body so I was fully facing him. Kakashi sat in front of my leg and pick up my right ankle.
"So you're not hurt, right?" Kakashi ask poking my ankle.
I bit my lip in pain, "T-that's right." I said not wanting to give in to his game.
"Not even a little pain?" Kakashi ask poking my ankle even harder.
"Ow!" I yelped but quickly cover my mouth but it was too late he heard me.
"That's what I thought." Kakashi said taking off my shoe and placing my ankle down carefully before opening the first aid kit.
"Fine, you win." I sigh letting him wrap up my ankle and put my shoe on carefully.
"Done." Kakashi said closing the first aid kit.
"Kakashi, where did you get the first aid kit?" I ask hugging my legs again.
"I got it from Rin." Kakashi said sitting next to me.
"Here." I said handing him the other sides of the blanket like last night, "So tell me Dr. Kakashi, will my leg make it?" I ask joking around.
"Nope, we'll have to cut it off." Kakashi said with a straight face that I didn't know how he could keep it so emotionless.
I burst out laughing, "That's too bad, I really liked this leg." I said.
"It looks sprained, but you shouldn't walk on it for a while." Kakashi said looking up at the stars.
"What about tomorrow?" I ask, "How will I get back to the Leaf?"
"I could carry you back." Kakashi suggested not looking at me.
"What?" I said not believing my ears, the thought of Kakashi carrying to all the way back to the Leaf made my face turn so red I look like a tomato.
"There's no one else who can." Kakashi explained, "Rin, Kio, and Ky are all too tried to carry you."
"What about you?" I ask, "You were fighting to." I said worried that he was pushing his body too far.
"I'm fine, because I didn't do that much fighting." Kakashi said looking at me.
"What do you mean?" I ask and notice his head band had a torn in the area that covered his eye.
"I got taken down by the same guy as you when the other showed up." Kakashi said.
I felt a pain of glut in my heart, "Sorry if I hadn't split us up like that then…" I got cut off by Kakashi changing the subject.
"This is your first time being leader right?" Kakashi asks still not looking at me.
"Ya." I said wondering if he was going to scowled me.
"You did great." Kakashi said and I smile.
"Thanks." I said smiling.
"That's why I'm carrying you back." Kakashi said.
"Because I'm a good leader?" I question his reasoning.
"No because 'you're my friend Amaya and a team-mate, there's no way I would leave you behind.'" Kakashi said quoting me from earlier.
I smile, "Fine." I gave in again wondering how Kio would react tomorrow.
The rest of the night was quite, no trouble at all. But I couldn't get that feeling out of my head, the same feeling I get when I think about Kakashi. I glance at the clock, which read 5:00. I got up, but struggle because of the pain in my ankle. I went down the hallway, but stop when I see Kio there.
"Kio." I whisper but was loud enough for her to hear,
Kio turns around, "Hey captain." She said a little loud, "What happened?" she asked seeing me on one foot.
"I tripped." I said, half lying.
"Is it time to go?" Kio asked coming over to help me.
"Ya, get ready." I said as she helped me into the bedroom where everyone was.
I lean against the wall, "Time to get up!" I order as the three ninja deep in sleep wake up to my voice. Kio goes into the bathroom to get change, as Kakashi and Ky get ready in the bedroom. This left Rin and I in the hallway waiting for Kio to get out of the bathroom.
"What happened?" Rin ask when she saw me limping.
"I tripped." I said half lying again.
"I could heal it but…" Rin starts and I stop her.
"It's ok I know most of your charka is gone don't worry Kakashi said he would help me." I said wondering what Rin was thinking.
"Oh really." Rin said and I saw a hurt look again.
"It's not what you think." I said trying to defend me and Kakashi.
"its fine I understand." Rin says noting looking up off the floor.
"Thanks." I said as Kio came out of the bathroom.
I went in next and then Rin. After we're all packed up and ready to go we went outside of the coffee shop, Kio helped me down the steps.
Kakashi walked over to me and Kio, "Let's go." He said.
I could hear Kio laugh quietly in my ear and my face got hot again. Kakashi came up and then put his back to me and bend down so it would be easier for me. I swallowed hard, scared to move Kio gave me a small pushed and before I knew it I was getting a ride from Kakashi Hatake.
"Let's go." Kio said taking lead.
Everyone besides me and Kakashi were jumping though the trees. While Kakashi walked behind everyone. After a couple of hours walking in silent I decided to talk,
"Are we almost back to the Leaf?" I ask putting my head down to rest.
"Yes. We'll be there in a couple of minutes." Kakashi said.
I started to watch the trees go by and tried not to think of me being on Kakashi's back by listening to Kakashi's heart beat, which didn't help much. When I realized I was listening to his heart beat my checks stated to warm up, 'I can't get close,' I reminded myself about Rin but I couldn't help it. The sound of his heart beating made me want to live and made me want Kakashi to live to. It's hard to explain but I want to live for Kakashi.
"We're here." Kakashi said still carry me to the gate of the Leaf. I started to feel tension build up in my body by the thought of people seeing me on Kakashi's back, it's embarrassing.
I'm surprised to see Kio's family there, I watched Kio run over to them. There was Kio's mother who looks nothing like Kio; she had long, thin, blonde hair. But she was protective of her two daughters, and didn't like me because I couldn't sick up for Kio when she needed it. This was true most of the time I can't even stick up for my shelf let alone my friends. Kio's mom was a skilled ninja in till she quit when she got pregnant with Kio.
Then there's Kio's dad, which I liked him because he was kind to me. He tends to hurt himself when his working. He had short, think, brown hair like Kio's but darker. He also had Kio's dark brown eyes that stick out from everything else. Kio's father wasn't as protective as Kio's mother, he like his daughters to explore. When Kio told her parents she wanted to live as a ninja, her dad was the one to convince Kio's mom. He was a builder and had his own company that helps the Leaf rebuild and build new things they needed from schools to houses.
Then there was Kio's little sister who was still in LeafNinjaSchool. Her name is Amaia Suzuki, I remembered when I first meant her she said, 'Amaya, are names are so alike.' Which was true but her name means 'the end,' not 'night rain.' Amaia has long hair like Kio, but Amaia's hair is blond and thin, like her mothers.
"Where do you live?" Kakashi ask causing me to leave my thoughts.
"Why do you ask?" I asked worried.
"How else are you going to get home?" Kakashi said already walking before I gave him my answer.
"Near the Ninja school." I said and he went there.
The whole time we are walking I was trying to read his thought, from his emotionless face to his body movements. But I got nothing, 'What kind of ninja I'm I?'
"Is this it?" Kakashi asked and I looked up. To see my broken down house that no one takes care of, only me when I'm not on missions.
"Ya, I can make it from here." I said not wanting Kakashi to meet my also broken down family.
"It's no trouble." Kakashi said walking up to the door that really needed a paint job.
"Here." I said reaching into my bag and handed him the key.
Kakashi turned the door and I bite my lip, knowing it was like a dump in there. But again he was emotionless. He stepped over the beer bottles and trash, I pointing towards my room. Kakashi sat me down on my bed.
"Thanks." I said swinging my legs on the bed and took the key back from Kakashi.
"No problem." Kakashi said looking around my room, "Where are your parents?" He asked.
"Out on a mission." I said not really knowing but I hope there not at the front lines again.
"Oh ok." He said, "I should get going." Kakashi said.
"Wait. Take this." I said pulling out the scroll.
"Ya." He said taking the scroll and left.
I lied in my bed and called Kio later telling her about my ankle, about what really happened that night. Kio teased me about having a crush on Kakashi. At first I told her no, I don't. But in the end I told her the truth, how I felt. After that phone call I realized Kakashi Hatake had been in my room and I had gotten a ride from him in one day.
