Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Catching Cherry Blossoms ❯ Love Blossoms In The Dead Of Winter ( Chapter 8 )

Chapter 9: Love Blossoms in The Dead Of WinterAs I wake up, I smell soup. I open my eyes and see Kakashi carrying a tray of steaming hot soup into his room. Why is he bringing me soup? ThatÕs right. I remember now. Thoughts from yesterday filter back into my mind and tears begin to roll down my cheeks again. ÒOh sweetie.Ó Kakashi puts the soup down on the night table and sits on the edge of the bed, taking me into his arms. ÒI know baby. I know. IÕve lost relative too.Ó At this remark I look up into his sad eyes. ÒWho?Ó I ask, curious. Taking his thumbs, he wipes the tears on my cheeks away. ÒMy parents when I was fifteen.Ó I gasp and bury my face in his chest. ÒOh Kakashi. IÕm so so sorry. What happened?Ó Seeing the look on his face I quickly add, ÒYou donÕt have to tell me if you don't want too.Ó He shakes his head. ÒNo, I want too. No more secrets.Ó He pulls me tighter against his chest, blocking the rest of the world out. ItÕs only us.ÒWhen I was fifteen I lived in a bad neighborhood. I was in a gang, Black Princes. We reeked havoc on our town and my parents really disapproved. Every night they would yell and scream at me, but I never understood it was because they were scared for me. I had so many enemies. So I was walking home from school when someone told me their was a drive by shooting at my house. I freaked thinking my parents might have been home. They were. So you see, in a way, I killed my parents. ItÕs my fault that they died. From that point on I vowed to make my life better. I quit the Black Princes and I moved away to live with my uncle.Ó All I can hear is the pain in his voice and I need to take it away. ÒKakashi. ItÕs not your fault. How were you supposed to know? You werenÕt. Kakashi donÕt do this to yourself. You made the right choice to turn your life around. DonÕt think like that.Ó He turns his head away from me, but I wonÕt let him get away. I take his soft face in my hands. ÒKakashi.Ó I whisper before laying my lips on his. I feel his body mold into me. Suddenly we both have one desire. Each other. We need each other. His mouth becomes desperate. I part my lips, granting access. His tongue pushes against my own. We break apart, both breathing heavily. My lips are slightly swollen. He gently kisses my neck, making little raspberries appear. I close my eyes. When I open them again, Kakashi is smiling at me. I can feel that my face is flushed. I smile back at him. ÒSoup?Ó He asks casually and I giggle. ÒYes please.Ó He dips the spoon into the hot soup and he blows on it, making sure its cooled off before spooning it into my mouth. ÒMmmm!Ó I exclaim ÒItÕs good. You should try some.Ó He laughs and shakes his head. ÒI already ate. Besides this is for you. You have to get better so you can continue cleaning the house.Ó His eyes glow brightly and I can tell he is kidding. I punch his arm lightly. ÒJerk.Ó I giggle again. ÒYou have to stop this Kakashi.Ó He looks puzzled. ÒWhy?Ó I smile. ÒBecause I think iÕm in love with you.Ó I prepare for the worst. Will he reject me? He smiles then and I almost sigh my relief. ÒThatÕs funny because I think iÕve been in love with you since you spilt that scalding hot coffee on me.Ó I laugh happily. I wake with a start in KakashiÕs arms. Then it dawns on me. Three days until the wedding. I sit up excitedly and I rock Kakashi. ÒKashi! Get up! Kashi! Were getting married in three days! I have to call my family. We have to organize the event!Ó I bend down and nuzzle his neck. ÒUp and at Ôem!Ó Kakashi groans. ÒFive more minutes.Ó I groan. ÒNo! Get up this minute!Ó Kakashi rolls over and yawns. ÒFine. But itÕs not because you want me to get up. IÕm doing this on my own free will.Ó I roll my eyes. ÒSure you are.Ó The phone cradled in the crook of my ear, I pace. Click. We are connected. ÒHello? Mommy? MOMMY! Oh my gosh I miss you so much! Yes I know! Oh thatÕs great mom. Mhm. Yeah were really excited. Three more days I know! CanÕt wait. WhatÕs that? I sound more excited? Yeah I know. Mom, IÕm in love. What? Haha. Yeah I know. all right. Today at 1:00? Okay. IÕll see if we can go pick it up. How did you know my size? Oh. Ok. Yeah. Your gonna take care of everything else right? Okay. Sounds Perfect! Oh mommy im so excited! I canÕt wait! Okay. I love you too. See you soon. Bye!Ó I click off the phone. The first conversation with my mother in almost three weeks. I begin to weep happy tears. ÒOh dear. Are we crying again? I hear you cry a lot.Ó Itachi has entered the room. ÒShut up. ItÕs the first phone call iÕve had with my mother in three weeks.Ó I wipe my eyes on my t-shirt. ÒI am getting marrrrriiieeeeeedddd!Ó I hear Kakashi singing a made up song in the kitchen. ÒMarrriiiieeedddd to Sakura in three dayyyyssss.Ó I laugh. Oh goodness. ÒKakashi, Mom wantÕs to know where we want to go for the honey moon.Ó I hear Kakashi come out of the kitchen. ÒWell, some place tropical. IÕve always wanted to have sex on the beach.Ó My mouth hangs open and I punch his arm. ÒKakashi!Ó He laughs, holding his hands out in front of himself for protection. ÒKidding of course.Ó I roll my eyes. ÒHow about Hawaii?Ó That gets my attention. ÒOh you mean it?!Ó He smiles. ÒCourse. I always mean everything I say.Ó He winks suggestively, referring to his sex comment. I laugh. ÒPig. YouÕve been reading those books again.Ó He grins sheepishly. ÒYou know it.Ó
