Aburame lived in a small apartment building. Kakashi pointed to a second floor window third from the left that was slightly cracked open. I jumped and kicked in the window quickly and my feet landed in his home in one smooth moment.
There he was staring at me shocked from an old brown worn down chair in his bare and smelly home. A few spiders were around but before he could respond I kicked his chair over. He rolled out onto his skilled feet glaring at me but there was this sexual darkness in his eye's that disturbed me to my core.
The feeling to harm him and run at the same time pissed me off even more.
I was on him quick gripping his neck and slamming him into his front door so hard it cracked. "You fuck." Spiders started to come out of him and climb up my legs and arm.
The dark look in his eyes made my skin crawl even before his spiders touched me. I did a quick hand sign bringing my wind around me. It blew them off as he shut his eyes, it was cutting into his skin and clothes. His hands tried to reach for me but I sped it up. He tried to move out of my grasp.
I tightened my grip and he could not breath, I tossed him across his living room and he rolled away getting onto his feet.
Kakashi was squatted in the dark window like a shadow as he watched us calmly.
He was on me fast trying to punch me, shocking to me I was much faster then this man. I ducked his punch and kicks with ease he almost seemed shocked when I got behind him and kicked him in his ass and he crashed into his bedroom door frame breaking it slightly, he hit the ground and was slow compared to me getting on his feet.
Before he could get up and his creepy eyes landed on my face I sent my nervous break in him and did not let go. He started to almost converse like a seizure. I stopped him, gave him a second to get his barring's and did it again.
He looked up at me so scared like a weak child it just made me angrier as he sat up on his elbows staring at me like he never would have guessed I would win.
I brought my hand sign up and moved through them. "Your mind is about to be mush." I was about to slide into him and just blow it up from the inside. My eye's glaring into his, he looked so insignificant so unworthy. In that second I fought with myself. I may get in trouble if I kill him. If I destroy his mind have him a drooling mess. Is it worth it?
Look at this creep, his weak scared face.
I have never had the need to hurt someone before in my life. I really don't like it.
I dropped my hand and he looked relived and I hated that on his face. I ran fast kicking him square in the head as hard as I could, he went rolling away towards his bed, a line of blood along with him. I then stepped back still pissed but also so sad.
A feeling of weakness inside me, he deserves it but.
"I can't do it." I spoke and headed to Kakashi who then stepped out of the window and walked into the room. I watched him curious what was going to happen. He walked up to him and his face inches from the creep's, I saw his eye's look into Kakashi's and then he was passed out.
He stood up, slide his hands into his pockets and looked at me. "He will be out for an hour." He walked towards me so calmly but my heart reached out for him. "Be in his own horror for about three day's inside his head." He walked passed me to the window and I could not help but laugh a little crazy.
"Good."
I pulled out four kunai and covered them in ice. I tossed one at the tv, one at the fridge, the stove and the chair he obviously loves. The ice started to spread before I jumped out his window my feet hitting the stone road and walked towards home glad to break his expensive shit.
I was silent as we strolled home.
"You did not need me." He spoke with humor. I looked up at the clear sky, the moon was bright tonight. The feeling of peace that comes at night filled me a little. "Shocking."
"Was I bad before?" I smiled at him sadly. "We have not fought together in a long time." I said softly and he nodded.
My heart was spiraling again, over Itsuki, over everything. My heart ached for his family. Then my grandpa and Dai and everything. It was like a wall broke and I looked at the moon again trying to push it deep down and not cry.
Peeking at Kakashi as he slowly walked beside me with his hands in his pockets also looking at the sky lost in his own head and I smiled at this amazing man next to me. This guy literally has my back, again and again.
"Thank you Kakashi." I spoke making him finally look at me, he paused for a second and nodded before he faced forward again. I walked up to my left open front door expecting him to leave me now.
I turned on the living room light, the one light near the door and in the kitchen worked but for some reason the light in the corner near my shelf was not coming on. It felt like I was walking into a crime scene but I just headed to my couch and sat down and he sat down next to me.
I wanted to talk to him, I wanted him to talk to me but we both just sat in silence and I was unsure what to even say.
I saw a dark shadow and I almost jumped thinking it was a spider.
It was just a page of mess floating in the wind slightly.
Am I going to be on edge now?
Maybe I should have hurt him more. Break a leg or something.
I could not even ask Kakashi if he would do more I stared at the mess on my floor sadly, that was all I cared about in this world. "The only picture he tore up was you." I smiled staring at the torn corner of his face. "I think he is threatened by you."
"Good." He spoke back. "Maybe he will stay away now."
"With the both of us I think we scared him well." I smiled and then frowned as more paper moved in the light wind from the window. But he seems to get something out of being threatened. I shivered and changed my thought pattern.
I still unsure what to say but it was not awkward as he sat here for me. I leaned forward looking for anything to say. I barely looked at him knowing he lost people too. His whole genin team as well.
"Your sensei was hot." I mumbled with a cheeky smile pushing everything away. He looked at me like, have you never seen the fourth before and where did that come from. "Ah I was a kid when he was around. Now I am older he was fine." He rolled his eye landing on my mess. "What, fine, your hotter." I smiled.
He looked me over like he had something to say but never spoke.
I am trying here, bite.
I leaned back and yawned, then he yawned and my face dropped thinking abut my bedroom. "I might need a whole new bed."
He looked at me sadly and stood up, reaching out his hand he pulled me to my feet and nodded at me to follow him. "Ya, burn that shit." He spoke deeply, I just gave a small smile and giddily followed him out as my hand dropped from his.
He gave me a clean pillow and blanket that felt expensive, something I should invest in when I by a new one. He stood above me as I sat down and I looked up at him but he was just staring making me feel nervous.
He leaned over and patted my head. "I am proud of you." He spoke with the biggest fake smile he has ever had.
I laughed so hard, it was awkward and odd but it warmed my heart. "You might make a good teacher." I joked back as I pulled the blanket over me. He just stood up and headed into his room, shutting the door behind him.
Still unsure if it was right to let the creep go and that no one ever said that to me before. Someone is proud of me?
I felt safe and comfertable as I laid on his couch, a strong need to go crawl into his bed beside him. I just wanna cuddle with him.
I woke up a lot over the night now and then, sad pissed and heartbroken. I would see a shadow or feel a tickle and I almost jumped out of my skin hoping it was not a bug. Even if I can take him with ease, he could never harm me I was still on edge and scared. I hated feeling this way.
The fact I did flirt with him made me feel like trash and stupid as I rolled on the couch trying to sleep. His creep face would not leave my head.
The morning sun was plastered on my face waking me up. I folded the blanket knowing I was alone in here and headed out. Stepping into my home I was shocked to see the tall white hair sitting on my floor behind my coffee table.
Walking in front of him he had picked up my books and was gluing the notes on to small pieces of black paper. Shock and love filled me watching him put together a puzzle.
I fell to my knees across from him just staring at his face, he looked up and then down abashed at the shock on my face. "I say throw out everything in your bedroom but I thought I would try this." A small tear actually fell from my eye startled at the most kindest thing a person has ever done for me.
I just crossed my legs and started to help unsure what to say to him.
"He was funny." He spoke and I noticed he had to read the notes. I looked at the one he was gluing and my face flushed a little. We were kids, dirty was not close to dirty but it was a little, something.
"Ya I read that stuff to." Like it did not matter.
"Ya we have both read worse." I smiled at him feeling odd. I then smiled with love at a note piece I picked up and found the black page that went with it. "Why do this, waste of your time." I said grabbing the glue.
"Because of you I have nothing to do for about three weeks." He mumbled.
"Right." I looked away ashamed, not sure if he mad about that, do I ask?
We sat in quiet but the longer it took the more happy I felt inside. I bit my lip as I started partially reading the notes again across from, who today, feels like my best friend.
Thank you Kakashi, I love this guy.
I actually loved today, I got paint for my white bedroom walls, new queen bed with soft expensive bedding. I got inside locks for my windows and doors, I am sure a ninja could get in but it would take a few tries. I also bought so many clothes glad I had so much money saved.
I also did what I used to do, I bought so many green plants.
"Looks good." He looked around suddenly behind me while I was trying to get the sheet on my bed. He stepped forward and grabbed the other corner that popped off helping me with the annoying part. I then started to finish fixing the bed.
"Even a ninja can't fix this annoyance." I joked at the fitted sheet.
"A clone maybe." He spoke blankly back.
His eye's landed in my corner so mine followed. I put a plant in a glass bottle and hung it from my ceiling with a metal chain because I for some reason had one in my home. It was looking a little dungeon like.
"Ya I thought about putting in a sex swing." I sighed. "But the ceiling will not hold it, so I went with that." He actually smiled.
"Ah, daughter like mother."
"Calling me a whore as well?" He then just stayed quiet, he did not mean that staring at me like I trapped him making me shake my head and smile. "Ah, that tittle does not scare me." I have had that stigma over my head all my life, like I would be like my mother and being like my mother was not the worst thing to be called.
"What tittle does?"
"Hmm." I stood up and looked up at the ceiling. "Useless. Alone." I looked at him. "You?"
"If they told me I abandoned people." I looked him over interested knowing mostly his whole past.
"You got my back even when your naked, never think that." I smiled at him.
"Hm." He walked to my window and looked at a small shelf I bought. "I could use a something like that on my bedroom window."
"Place to store your dirty novels?"
"Yes." He spoke blankly.
For some reason I had the biggest urge to build him one. Not buy one, build it.
After messing with my ice blades all morning I was sweaty and slightly frost burnt and I grabbed a coffee. I was having a good day when I saw Aburame holding take out food. I froze and glared worried he was following me, we fixed most of the notes but some were gone and I was still so angry.
I paused and stood mid road glaring at him holding back the urge to go and attack him.
He finally looked my way and watched terror cross his face, he almost tripped on his ass stepping back before he turned and ran the opposite way gone in a second. The creepy smile on my face was filled with pride and thankfulness.
"Well what on earth could make a man do that?" I looked to see grandpa Nara with a small boy next to him at age seven or eight. I can't remember his birthday. My heart beat up, I have not seen him in years it brought back all the fun I had with him and my grandpa and I felt so happy to see him.
"You don't want to know." I looked down at the bored little guy next to him. "Hi, you must be Shikamaru." I looked at the elder and he nodded looking down. The kid looked up and nodded reminding me of not only his family but Kakashi. I once changed your diaper, how much time has passed and it feels like nothing.
"Ah." I smiled looking at my old friend.
"We are gathering some food for the family. Shikaku pissed off his wife and left us men to do it ourselves, so here I am." I laughed in love for the memories. "You should come eat sometime." I nodded and agreed and we parted ways knowing in my heart that is probably not going to happen.
I was halfway done with a vision in mind that would be better then the store bought shelves. I had snuck in and gotten the perfect measurements for the corner of his window. Everything was cut a little wrong but I tried to make it work.
Saw dust all over the kitchen floor wishing I had grabbed goggles.
Time to hammer this shelf.
The top was longer then the bottom but I tried to make it work when Kakashi walked in. "What is that noise?" He seemed annoyed making me smile at the emotion as he looked around my dusty kitchen confused. "So now your a carpenter?"
"Seems to be ya." I smiled proud even if it still was a tiny bit imperfect. I did not say 'don't look' like I wanted, maybe he has no idea what I am doing. He just nodded at me like I was crazy, rolled his one eye and walked off. I bit my lip.
Did you see that? I asked myself. He emoted a lot.
I spoke in my head like I was talking to someone.
I dusted it all off and tried to clean the best I could before I used my wind shield to just blow the dust out the window. I picked it up and hid it behind me and I knocked on his door, the sunset setting over the stairway.
He opened looking sleepy. I gave the biggest smile and walked passed him and into his bedroom big thing in tow. "What are you doing?"
"I wanted to make it fit perfectly." I walked around his bed and placed it in the corner closest to it. He did not speak behind me as I stepped back. Some sunset light peeking in the worst places of my failed creation. "Ta da." I stuck my hands out and looked at him with a big smile.
"Ya it is... Something I have now." I grabbed two books from his living room and put them inside, I had to slightly turn them awkwardly to make them fit.
"Ah see it works." I smiled.
"It's great..." I looked at him with big doe eye's to mess with him waiting for a compliment. He gave me his fake eye smile.
"Alright, I know I failed." I headed back into my apartment and grabbed the box behind my door. I shoved the small shelf box in his hands. "You should put it together."
"Might be better." He actually smiled this time. "Thanks'."
"Go away!" I paused walking through the village. "You!" He spoke with distain with a pause. "Are not welcome here."
"I just." I heard the sound of a young child. I stepped back and looked down the road. There was that Naruto kid at some restaurant but the man was glaring and yelling at him. His tiny body made hungry noises making my face soften.
They treat him wrong, he is just a kid but I also did not lose a big loved one to that creature.
I stepped towards them as he barely looked over the counter, the man was leaned over glaring down. "Hey." I said something without thinking about it and he looked up at me his eye scanning my neck down to my hands seeing I am a shinobi.
"I wont feed..." He stuttered at me.
"Shut up he's a kid." I cut him off, this boy does need to hear these words this man is going to say.
"No he is..."
There was two others eating at this place that also looked down angry. I don't think much of this kid but he is just a kid so I stepped closer to him and looked down.
He looked up at me with light in his eye's. I scanned the area the ramen shop was empty and open. I nodded at him to follow me and we crossed the road and headed down as little. "Will you feed a child." I spoke to him and he looked down softly with a nod.
The small kid pulled out a small coin purse and started digging in the thing. All I saw was low price coins. I slid my hand into my pocket and pulled out enough for two bowls and placed it on the counter.
This kid again looked at me shocked but he smiled and grabbed his seat being so small he almost had to climb asking for miso. I turned to leave. "You wont eat with me?" He asked, finally speaking to me.
I looked back sadly. "Sorry but I am late."
I walked away to meet my teammate not thinking of it again.
"I feel we are on a pointless mission." Izumi spoke. She was a tall thin women with dark black hair, a jonin from the Hyuga clan. "We have been walking around the land of rice fields for Day's."
"Ya we could use a tracker but they are called hidden villages for a reason."
"I am a tracker." She sighed as we walked between the large tree's looking for where these new sound symbol people seemed to be coming from and to get some intel on the area. One that was caught and said something about the land of sound being somewhere around here.
He was interrogated and there is now a hidden village in the land of sound that used to be land of rice. A change in geography and it is something to worry about.
This place before has had many small clans without a hidden village. Some being forced into the third war was a thing and we are here to find out what they are doing. We can not find a person, a place or anything other then small normal towns.
The hair on my neck stood up and she looked at me, I watched her eye's change as we darted into the bushes. She did not need to tell me as three men darted over our heads quickly.
We shared a look and followed them quietly behind linking with her mind.
She stopped and held out an arm blocking me, she gave me a look, they know! She pointed me to the right and I nodded running in a wide circle as she went left. I caught up, they were far but I grabbed the nearest link and shoved my mind into it.
There was four, I could see with this mans good eye's, a small blue was in the tree while I spotted a faint glow of my team mate, since I was in this man I could not see my body's chakra. The rest waited for us to enter some trap. She was headed right for it.
I got lucky and picked the right man to invade.
I looked around quickly as I can not leave my passed out body alone for any longer then a second
All three had the symbol we were looking for on parts of there bodies, If I take this guy's head we can get him home and get into it for what he knows.
I blew up his mind and flew back to my body.
I told her in our heads there was a forth hidden in the tree and one was now not going to move. I ran around and tossed two frozen kunai and four wind covered ones into the tree where the one was hiding.
The other two turned to me in shock. Happy to see the one I broke stood there like he lost in his head, eye's dark staring into space. I looked over the other two, one was a short but a fine looking man and the other had this horrible beard that was not taken care of and smelled like he had not showered in days while cutie was clean and his pink eye's were glowing.
The clean one pulled out some flute, he started to play it confusing me.
"He is going to serenade you." She laughed in my head.
"Ya, what the fuck?" Suddenly I got dizzy and I could not see well, shadows were coming out of the ground but I could not move with ease like every part of my body was filled with concreate. "Izzy?"
I saw weapons coming at me from the second and I tried to move.
My back smashed on something and my vision came back. I was pressed to a tree a far distance from them, she kicked me away. I grabbed my head and got my body back as I stood. She was darting around both of them like a fly, the flute a few feet away not letting him get it.
I could see her silent but deadly hands hitting them all over.
The second guy pulled up his long hanging robe showing a weird object around his arm with holes in it like a flute. Does the sound village actually use sound? Not wanting to find out what it does I got in quick and using my wind dagger I just cut his whole left forearm off, griping his hand as he screamed I threw it away.
He yelled at the brain dead man like what are you doing but no response as he fell on his ass.
I saw blood and ice surrounding the tree, he was also done for.
She slammed her fists into the flute man and took what was left down. We stood over the armless man as he tried to stop the bleeding.
"Where is the sound village?" He glared scared still trying to stop the bleeding as he sat on the ground. She brought fire on her hand and cauterized his wound as he yelled in pain.
"Brutal." I mumbled.
"You cut it off." She spoke back. "Where is the sound village?" He looked to his friend just standing there with dark eye's. "Who is the leader?" He glared like he would never tell, ready to die. "What is the sound village?"
She sighed and looked at the man standing there knowing what I did. "Well." She smiled at me. "Let's just end this." I nodded and it was like he understood, he moved so fast, we tried to stop him as his dagger slid through his friends head and he dropped to the ground.
He went rolling away looking at us with understanding before he grabbed his cut off arm and used the sound to make us step back in pain, again I could barely see. The whole world was like waves of water when it stopped a second later and he laid on the ground dead with blood coming out his ears.
He destroyed any way to get anything out of any of them killing himself.
"Damn." I spoke softly. That might have been bad had it been focused on our heads and not his.
"Ya." She sighed darkly, she yanked the sound forehead protector from one. "That was new and interesting style of jutsu."
"A little worrisome at the power." I agreed with her. We stood there unsure what to do.
"We are back to wondering like crazy." She looked in the direction they were going and back. "Do you think they were coming or going from the village?"
"Right." I said curious. "I guess we pick a direction and then back track if it fails."
"Maybe we should find a town and just interrogate someone, your good at that right?" She looked me over.
"Naw not my thing." She looked startled. "I can try." I sighed, She just shook her head letting that idea go.
We did find a town with a few straggler shinobi no one knew anything or even cared to talk. Normal people, everyday ninja's, it was not like we could hurt them. We walked around for another few day's not finding anything.
She said it was time and we should give up.
So we agreed, two more day's and our mission is a fail. This hidden sound village really is hidden and by the fact the only ninja we came across had nothing to do with it and just lived in the towns with their family's.
So there is not many in this new village around here it seems and that is the only information we got other then these sound ninja's seem to have sound jutsu's and they have a symbol. As proud as I am to wear leaf I am sure they are proud as well. We will see them again.
I was deep in the middle of a novel sitting cross legged on the book store floor with a small pile beside me. Not got a new book in what feels like ages. The owner did not care at me doing this now but when I left he lost a big book buyer. He was so happy to see me again.
A small ding pulled me out for a second and I placed this slightly naughty book on the top of the pile.
"I heard you got the Icha Icha Paradise in hardcover with the extra author notes." I perked up and stood up staring at the back of Kakashi.
"I heard it was to be released soon but we do not have it." The desk man spoke not even looking up. I watched his shoulders drop like someone just kicked him. I looked at the book on top and picked it up. Far from as good as that book but a little dirty and I tossed it at the back of Kakashi.
He grabbed it barely looking and then looked at me and down at the book.
"Look who is in the book store." He said to me.
"I have not seen you even read a new one since I came back." I said.
"Ya, he used to be my best customer, little pissed at that." The man spoke back in his magazine. "Both of you." He shook his head disappointed.
"Have you warn out your book already?" I picked up my pile and walked towards him grabbing a second of the book I tossed.
"I want it just to have it." He looked down. "I can not wait for Violence." I nodded, I did hear that he named the book but is not close to finishing.
He opened the book and read a line. "I trust your taste." He spoke. I watched him get pulled in and slowly he blushed under his mask.
"He like's it." I spoke to the man as he watched his face as well curious. Kakashi looked at me awkward and pretended like he did not but he put it on the counter to buy. "Not as good but something to place on your shelf." I bought my three and we walked out together.
"looks like I have a genre I need to focus on to keep this money." The owner laughed at us without looking up as the door dinged and I smiled back at him amused.
The sun was warm, the wind was strong and it was such a nice day. I was just walking in no direction and he walked with me silently. His left hand slid into his pocket as my eye's watched and wondered before I noticed where my eye's were on him.
A small group of kids came running by. They saw us and they still almost ran into us. We paused as they moved away and his mood changed.
"How long, a week?" He nodded quietly watching them run away.
"How am I to keep that alive?" He was serious and opening up.
"You keep your plants alive." I spoke as I looked at him he faced forward about to walk away.
"My plant's are not stupid." That made me almost laugh out loud as he looked at me.
"How do you know, some plants may be stupid." I then looked at him curious. "Are there dumb plant's?" I looked away towards a tree. "I wonder."
"What kind of question is that?"
"A serious one." I spoke back.
A gust of wind blew my bangs around, I was slightly startled and Kakashi was just gone in a pile of leaves. That was when I heard a call and looked back to find Guy with one leg in the air as he hopped towards me on one foot strangely fast.
"What are you doing now?" I smiled glad to see him.
"Imagine you can not use one leg." He jumped towards me.
"Right, ya, normal and all." I spoke sarcastically.
"Join me."
Looking around Kakashi was gone, I have nothing to do. Why the fuck not. I lifted one foot and bounced. Being in such a good mood I just hopped along with him.
I dove out of bed on my feet crouched, looking around my dark room I turned on the light. No bugs. I made sure my black out curtains were completely closed in my bedroom then my living room.
Fear and paranoia filled me. I felt like I was being watched but no one could see me and not even a fly was in here. I turned on every light I passed and opened my front door about to knock on Kakashi's but I paused just before my fist hit it.
Don't bother him.
I turned around, flicked on every light turned on some late night show loudly and moved to make something to eat. I felt so unsettled but this fear was in my heart not my gut and I once heard that in the gut, you listen, in your heart it could just be anxiety.
He ran, I have not seen him or a spider, not even a normal spider in weeks.
To feel better I summoned a Koala just to have an animals view on bugs, the thing was stoned and just watched the tv show. So useful.
"Hey." I called out to Kure sitting in our favorite food place outside with some random girl I never met before. She waved at me and the friend stopped talking and looked my way. I saw no judgement as she looked me over.
Kure introduced us. This is Feari a non clan chunin they used to go to school together. I grabbed some food and sat down feeling welcome as they talked.
"Is Asuma not the hottest?" She said to me and Kure looked a little uncomfortable. I smiled and nodded snacking away. The man is pretty. "I am trying to get it out of her." She looked at Kure. "She will not engage in this conversation."
"Ya, in truth I never talk about boys." I looked up with a chuckle. "Ever." I used to want just that.
"You got one?" She leaned in and my heart exploded in sadness. I almost forgot, Itsuki. She looked startled.
"I, I had one." Kure looked shocked. "He is not around any more."
"Wait." Kure spoke. "Who?"
"Now you talk." Her friend spoke.
"Itsuki Uchiha." I said softly. Kure seemed like something just connected but her friend heard the last name and looked at me sadly and filled with questions.
The random girl was about to voice one when more genin ran by. "Kakashi is about to be a teacher." I spoke to distract at Kure. "I kind of want to be a fly on the tree for that." I laughed out awkwardly.
"Wait. I remember him, he was a little bastard." She took my last dango off my plate startling me. "A teacher, never would have guessed." She rolled her eyes insulting Kakashi with that look.
Wait. Did she just take my dango?
"He was cute however, is he still cute?"
She took my last dango?
Why?
Who is she?
"Yes." I spoke out not paying attention. I was looking forward to that as I watched her chew it. I looked at Kure desperately who was quietly laughing at my face as we shared a what the fuck moment.
"Really?" She swallowed. "I need to see him. How is his ass?"
"Ya it is damn... fine." I spoke sad to see it go, defeated.
She looked at me like I was doing something secret and she was a detective. "Well, I need to train." I stood up I ordered one more stick of Dango her friend not even understanding as Kure shook her head at me with a smile as I waited for it.
"I have like three men after me but I just don't have one I want." I nodded grabbing my stick of three.
I popped all three in my mouth as I stared down her friend. "You need a new boy." She spoke still not getting it. "Go for it girl."
"Ya." I said with my mouth full this time and walked off.
I ran across the grass quickly, the sun strong today. I jumped into the tree's and found my way to the training grounds. Three kids sat on the ground crying, I am to late and why are they crying?
He was leaning behind a tree arms crossed in my view but not in the kids. He opened his eye and looked in my direction. I leaned on the side of the tree and waved at him to do something and he shook his head.
I smiled unsure why they were so sad. Three boys. I slid my mind into his.
"Teacher already makes them cry."
"I sent them back to the academy." He spoke dark.
"Why?"
"No teamwork, I will not work with people out for the mission or themselves." He was then gone.
Ya, I get that and ya that is a deal breaker with him. Always has been, since I knew him, I heard once he was the complete opposite, I have an idea why but we never talked about it in depth.
Who knows, maybe he is happy they are not what he wants, get's him out of this. But now what does he do? I looked at them sadly who were now fighting with each other on who failed and what person got them sent back. I watched them turn on each other with so much anger and I get it now.
He had a point.
I had a two take home miso eggplant soups not seeing Kakashi much I wanted to do something nice for him after that failure of a teacher moment yesterday. I knocked on his door but he never came, pressing my ear to it I thought I heard something but it was silent.
Curious I broke into his door lock I now can do with ease and slid inside to at least leave it for him in his fridge, I peeked in his bedroom and he was not here. I wrote a note with the time and date incase he was out on a mission so he knows when it goes bad.
I spotted his strange mixed pudding cups I love but never buy and debated on taking one when I heard the toilet flush. I stepped to the closed door but he still was not coming out. Pressing my ear to the door I heard a moan.
"Hey Kakashi?" I spoke softly and he moaned louder.
"Leave."
He sounded serious so I nodded stepping back when I heard him make the worst noise.
"Aw shit you sick."
"Leave." I heard after some heaving. I leaned on the door.
"Can I help?" He did not speak. "You sick or?"
"No I just like to do this." That made me smile.
"The only thing in the world that can take down the miraculous Kakashi." I bit my lip amused.
"Glad you find this funny."
"I got some food for you." I spoke and headed to the kitchen finding his mop bucket and placed it near his bed where I fluffed his pillows. I crossed into my home and got my heating pad that I had in the freezer for a bad period. "What Kind of sick, fever?" I asked when I came back.
I knocked on the door and slowly opened it. "Coming in." Kakashi was sitting with his back to the wall, sweat down his face and the mask was on. I rolled my eye's at he still finds a way to cover but I let it go. I handed him the cold pack as I felt his forehead. "Well no fever." I spoke.
"Feels like it." I spoke pressing it to his head.
"How long?" He looked up at me like he was ashamed.
"Half an hour." He spoke so tired. "I think I ate something wrong."
"There goes my soup." I mumbled and moved to get him a large cup of water. Handing it to him I slid down the wall next to him and held it when he was done sipping, also facing away from me.
What is under there, I saw he was freshly shaved.
Maybe he has bad teeth?
He is a dog summon person I wonder if he has pointy canines like the Inuzuka.
"I would love to be an Inuzuka, have a dog like that, sounds like a more relaxed and crazy clan with all them dogs."
He looked at me like where did that come from as I stared at his light gray ceiling.
"Just get a dog."
"Hmm, I wonder if I can train one." I wanted to say add me to your summons but he looked to wrecked for just an annoying conversation so I sat quietly admiring his bathroom.
It is clean and modern and he has a painting that I saw in his old home along the wall, must be his fathers.
He leaned back and shut his eye's. After a quiet few minutes he seemed to have stopped. I helped him up and got him to his bed. I got him more water as he sat on the edge and placed the bucket on that side. He gave me this look I could not place and laid down looking weak.
I sat on the other side asking if he needed anything and he shook his head laying his arm over his eye's, one leg hanging off the bed and gave a small moan that made me almost laugh and I don't know why. I felt funny.
He got comfy and turned on his side, I reached my hand over and started to rub his head above his ear and then into his hair in a way my mom used to do to me when I was sick and I loved it. He seemed to not mind. I hung around just stroking him to the point I guess I fell asleep alongside him.
I woke up at one point, his head was on my chest cuddled into my side and I felt so calm and peaceful and cozy. My heart beat up as my hand reached back into his hair and I fell back asleep almost instantly.
I then woke up like I had the best nap in ages and sat up alone in his bed, the dark sky outside the window told me I slept for a long time.
Looking around I was curious, is he sick again? I fixed my hair blindly as I walked out of the bedroom.
I got what I wanted for a bit now, I cuddled with Kakashi and it was amazing, I feel a little flushed at that for some reason, giddy and unsure what to say about it.
Walking out he was at his table eating the soup, I turned the corner right as he pulled up his mask.
"I feel like I have not ate in ages. Thanks for this." I nodded and slid across from him, he looked better but we did not speak. He stared at the re heated bowl and I stood up and stretched. I have over stayed and I headed out the door with a small bye, I heard a small bye back.
This book was pulling me home, it outlined my relationship with Itsuki and I was almost in tears when the book ended in a way I never would have guessed. They broke up.
The main character and his love interest was having issues with family and friends getting in the way. Worldly issues, love was just not enough.
We were always meant to say goodbye.
What kind of book is this.
But I could not put it down, get back together, do it.
They did not.
I jumped out my window and found my way to our spot as my mind raced. Where would we be, would the clans have pulled us apart. Would our whole relationship be secret. Could we make it work with all the barriers.
What if they were all still here, being watched on every Uchiha covered corner.
It honestly feels like a different life.
It has changed so much, I wiped my tear noticing I still held the book in my hands. Opening to the last page again.
Even if we fought for it, it never would have worked out. We were never meant for forever.
We were meant to help each other grow but our future is not what we imagine, it will be better then anything we could give.
I hated it, the writing was stupid and yet I felt it.
Somewhere in my heart I just know, it is time to let him go. I have hung onto him for far to long. I think I am afraid of moving on. Like I would be an ass or something or not good enough for someone else.
I hung my arms over the rail staring at the book like it was my past then after a moment I dropped it. Watching it fall to the road below feeling like I let go of something.
I felt lighter as I watched it.
The feeling of sadness, the small part wondering if it was my fault that he died that I did not know I had. The feeling that I will be alone forever because I could not let him go faded. It hit the ground silently.
"I want to let you know, you were the best first love a girl could have and I would have fought your family for you."
I wiped a tear away and looked to the setting sun feeling so light, so sad and so happy.
I felt free.
I saw love in my future, not sure who or where or when but I will not be ashamed at it and it will be someone I could yell to the world that I am with him, someone I could scream that we are together. No more hiding in the shadows unless I do it on a mission.
Down the road I spotted Kakashi walking slowly hands in his pockets a small smile crossed my face as I looked at his. He looked troubled as well, almost torn. He has avoided me since the sickness.
I laugh inside at his embarrassment that covers his face when he see's me.
I had an urge to startle him, mess with him unsure how to mess with him.
I jumped over the rail and ran along the roofs. I moved to jump on him, directly on him once I jumped the world moved slow and it happened so fast.
As I jumped across from me Guy did as well from the other side, both our body's were flying right at Kakashi. He stopped walking as I crashed into Guy. I am sure I could avoid the ground I see in my future, I am sure he could avoid me as well but we smashed into each other and fell to the ground in a pile of willing limbs.
Kakashi stepped back as my back hit the road and my leg was trapped under Guy, catching my head from bashing on the ground.
I looked up at Kakashi who stared down on us blankly. His eye focused on me and I laughed trying to sit up. His eye then landed on Guy.
"He is impressed with our sexy skills." I joked.
"Huh?" Guy spoke to me.
"No I am not." He looked down with a hint of humor in his eye and a small blush. Guy's voice barely made a noise about fighting and Kakashi was just gone before he could even speak.
I pulled apart from him looking into the sad face of Guy. After the shared look we just started to laugh so hard.
"Failure." I said getting on my feet.
"Ah, worked best." He gave me a thumbs up. "Next time we will get him."
