Chapter Ten

 

 

The next day Aneko was more than better, she was focused. At six am she was already mediating, upside down in the living room, with Kakashi nowhere in site. She really didn't care where he was, but she knew he would be around to train her in an hour or so. Aneko was hurt, but she knew how to hide her pain better than most. Since Kakashi wanted her to train and be a kid, she would do exactly that. She had been mediating for an hour than heard the door click; she didn't even open her eyes. Aneko heard Kakashi's foot steps, and knew he wasn't far away from her. She came down and didn't even look at him. Aneko walked into bathroom and proceeded to get ready for the day. Fifteen minutes later she was showered and dressed and looking for Kakashi to start today's lesson. She wasn't surprised when she found him reading in the living room; she walked up to him and waited for him to acknowledge her presence. Kakashi closed his book and slowly looked at Aneko, he could see that she was angry, but her eyes showed pain. Both of them just looked at each other closely, not knowing what to say. Kakashi soon broke that comforting silence and spoke,

 

“ Today we will be sparing, see how your strength and focus is.” Kakashi stated

 

“ Yes, Kakashi Sensei.” Aneko replied, Kakashi looked at her oddly, she had never called him Sensei or even acknowledged him as being anything of the sort with her. He stood up and she moved out of his way as they walked out of the apartment. They headed to an open area in the forest, as they were walking Kakashi noticed that Aneko walked slowly behind him. Usually she was right next to him, but it was almost as if she was ignoring him like he wasn't even there. When they reached, they both quietly stood as the wind picked up around them. Winter was definitely on the way, which Kakashi didn't mind, he loved winter. Aneko watched him carefully, then grunted as she wanted to get the lesson over with. Kakashi sighed then spoke,

 

“ This is just a test of strength, speed, agility, and focus. That way I can see what needs to be done to help you improve.”

 

“ Yes Kakashi Sensei.” Aneko replied, he hated hearing her call him that. It was different when Team Seven called him Sensei, but it felt weird hearing her say it. He actually wished she would call him Hoki.

 

“ Attack me, weapons are not an option. Rely on your own skills.” he commented, she nodded and went into a defensive stance. Kakashi remained in his usual calm stance and waited for her to attack him. After a few moments she come at him, her fighting was different. She wasn't aggressive, she was calm and relaxed. Kakashi actually underestimated her, he had to start stepping his defenses up and attacking her faster. Something was wrong with her, she wasn't angry she was focused, focused on beating him. All those times he had been coaching her to be patient and focused, now she was listening to him. It was like they weren't sparing anymore, they were fighting, with the exception of Kakashi just defending himself, and occasionally swinging at her to try and knock her off balance. But Aneko was in a different state of mind, she didn't know why she was attacking Kakashi so furiously, she wasn't angry, if she was, her angry only made her concentrate more. Something in her wanted to show Kakashi he wasn't as great as everyone made him out to be. Deep down she was starting to think like she used to, the way she thought when she was alone. That everyone was just a mark that needed to be taken down. She aimed to kick him in the chest and to her surprise her foot connected with his chest. Kakashi stumbled back, either he lost his train with her or he just didn't block it. Either way Aneko still moved in for another attack, she jumped into the air and was coming down to slam her fist into his face, but he moved out of the way in time. She kept her fist to ground and turned to look at him. Aneko narrowed her eyes at him and instead of charging at him like Kakashi expected, she just stood up and looked at him. Kakashi couldn't understand her, but soon he had a rude awakening when he was kicked from his back. Aneko had multiplied herself and had a replacement stand in front of him while she snuck up behind him and attacked him. She was learning, there was no doubt in his mind that she was learning. When the replacement came at him with a now kunai in hand, Kakashi beat her to it and threw a kunai of his own. The replacement turned into black smoke and he turned his attention back to the real Aneko. She was actually smiling, she had a deceptive smirk on her face, and Kakashi had to admit it was actually sexy. He knew that this wasn't a sparing practice anymore. Aneko was out to prove something, and if it meant embedding a kunai into one of his limbs she would do it. But Kakashi would have to be dead before he let her go that far. There were no more games with her, she was letting her emotions do the fighting for her. So he had to break her and show her that trying to hurt him wouldn't make her feel better. Aneko pulled out a kunai as well and now stood in front of him. Waiting for her again to make the first move, he was surprised when she just stood there. It was like she was begging him to come at her, challenging him even. Yet another challenge that Kakashi gladly accepted. He went to strike her, but she blocked it and tried to kick him but he turned around and blocked that. The battle continued even as the sun was setting, both of them were tired and had minor cuts and bruises from the fight. Kakashi couldn't believe Aneko, even though she hadn't seriously hurt him, she had gotten further than even team seven in hitting him. Stopping to breathe and try to rest up, both of them just looked at each other. Aneko fell to the ground and groaned as her whole body was in pain. Kakashi was faster and stronger than her, so she had to push herself even harder just too even get close enough to just scratch him. Gritting her teeth she stood up and changed at him, Kakashi braced himself and knocked the kunai out of her hand, causing it to fly into the ground. Even without her weapon she still attacked him, soon Kakashi found himself cradling his jaw as Aneko managed to kick him hard sending him back. This had to stop, he really didn't want to hurt her, but she was determined to hurt him. Suddenly she picked up her kunai and was charging at him. Kakashi waited then when she was inches away, he caught her wrist and used his other hand to grab her neck. He slammed her into a tree and increased the pressure on her wrist until she had to choice but to drop it. She used her free hand to attack him, but it was no use, he had a good grip on her and held her in place.

 

“ Let me go!” Aneko yelled, “ You son of a….”

 

“ Enough!” Kakashi interrupted her, he couldn't take it anymore. Aneko was acting careless and was forcing him to treat her like she was an enemy. He didn't want to hurt her, she seemed to insist on bringing out the worse in him, “ What is wrong with you? Why are you acting like this? ”

 

“ I'm acting like the kid that you said I am Sensei! Kids get angry and want to fight because their hurt!” Aneko yelled at him, he knew as much. She wanted to make a point to him and this was her way of doing it.

 

“ This is not what I was talking about Aneko, you're a kid because I can't be with you. I'm twelve years older than you,” he stated

 

“ Stop calling me a kid, I've seen and been through things some women couldn't even think of. And yet you believe that age really maters, you're the adult but you can't even come to me like a man and tell me how you feel. You don't kiss a person and then run from your feelings like a scared bitch! You don't have to remind me how old you are, I don't care about that, I see more than your age. But it's the only thing that you see in me.” she had him speechless, she had just told him about himself and didn't hold anything back, “ Just let m…..”

 

 

“ No! Don't talk to me about being a man Aneko, I being a man by not surrendering to my feelings for you. You think that I don't want you? I'm falling in love with you, but every part of me has to deny that and remind myself that you're only sixteen. When I look at you I see someone that I want to be with, but can't, because it's wrong. I would be taking advantage of you if I did. I'm not the teenager in this Aneko, you are. I have to think straight for the both of us, know that there can be no us.” Kakashi admitted as he couldn't take it anymore, he was loosing control of himself, last night shouldn't have happened. He knew things would get complicated if they ever showed any type of emotion.

 

“ It's not wrong! Kakashi, love can't be wrong, so what if I'm sixteen, I've been through she much pain and loss that only I know when I'm in love, and I know I love you. I don't care about anyone else. I just care about us.” Aneko replied, Kakashi let go of her and looked at her closely. Something in him was burning to hold her, but he knew it was wrong. He knew he was turning into a pedophile just by his thoughts of her alone. But, she was right, how could you deny love? He had never felt the way he did with anyone else, but Aneko was young, she never experienced that side of life, so who was she to say she was in love. He had seen what the world had to offer him, and all he wanted was her.

 

“ You're going to regret this Aneko, there are so many guys out there for you. Guys around your age, I don't want you to hate me and feel like to stole your youth later on. For all you know you could be infatuated with me, love and infatuation are two different things Aneko. You don't know what I look like under this mask, you don't know what I've done for most of my life. I've done things that I don't regret, but you may find fault in. I'm twenty eight, not eighteen. I'm not a boy, I'm a man. I don't think like a boy, I know that I want you, but I know that you are still a very young woman that is still growing. A relationship between us would be something that world would never understand or even try to. I would feel so wrong having to keep my love for you behind closed doors, having to act like your nothing to me just so neither of us would be under the microscope. “ he said

 

“ You only live once, and I live in this world, not for it. I could care less what anyone else thinks. You think I'm just infatuated with you, but infatuation can't be mistaken for something more Kakashi.” she replied as he looked at her, she slowly looked up at him as he towered over her, Kakashi was lost for words. The little girl that he was trying to protect was sounding like the woman that was in love with. He brought his hand up and caressed her face, Aneko placed her hand over his and smiled. Kakashi leaned down and kissed her forehead. As simple as the gesture was, Aneko was happy that he was showing her some kind of emotion.

 

“ I love you Aneko.” Kakashi suddenly stated looked her dead in her eyes, she felt like she was on cloud nine. She wanted to make sure she was actually hearing him right.

 

“ I love you too Kakashi.” Aneko replied, he leaned down to her level and rested his forehead on top of hers

 

“ You sure you want this?” he asked

 

“ Yes, are you?” she asked in return, she looked into his eye closely

 

” No, but some of the best things in life are wrong.” Kakashi replied
