Chapter Two
“Kayume-san, I heard you talking to Kakashi-sensei about the Akatsuki. Do you know the whereabouts of Itachi?” the young Uchiha inquired in a steady voice.
The older girl didn't answer, but opted to stare at her feet instead.
He continued when she didn't answer, “He's been reported missing for a while now, and no one has laid eyes on him for the past two years. Akatsuki hasn't had movement since then.”
Kayume sighed and looked the boy directly in the eyes.
“Sasuke-kun… I want to show you something… To return a stolen memory…” the kunoichi said almost inaudibly before unleashing her genjutsu. Well, I guess it's going to be sooner than I thought… There should be no harm in it… I hope.
“Itachi-kun! We've been waiting all day for you! Sasuke-kun was getting restless!” a teenaged girl cried out at the approaching Uchiha prodigy.
“Nii-san!” yelled a little Sasuke before running into his brother's arms, who instinctively picked him up and carried him on his shoulders.
“Sasuke-kun, don't break the genjutsu with your Sharingan, just watch…” Kayume said softly laying a hand on the boy's shoulder.
“I missed you Itachi-kun…” the girl whispered before kissing him lightly on the lips.
“Eww! Gross! Adult stuff!” the younger Uchiha said and scrunched up his face in a look of disgust.
The two teens laughed at the little boy.
Kayume dispelled the genjutsu and came face to face with a stunned Sasuke. He was speechless. His face was completely blank, void of any expression. The genjutsu brought back so many emotions, feelings that he had locked up since that day.
I was happy… He thought silently.
After a long while the shocked Uchiha opened his mouth and stared into the kunoichi's sea green orbs, “…Kayume…nee-san?”
Tears began forming in Kayume's eyes, “Sasuke-kun… you can remember then…”
“Nee-san…” he repeated before his onyx coloured eyes glassed over.
The pink haired girl couldn't help but smile; she pulled his hitai-ate off and kissed him softly on the forehead before replacing it on his head.
Flashback
“Kayume-san!” a little boy shouted and ran up to his brother girlfriend. “Nii-san poked me in the forehead again!”
The older girl kissed the red mark on the adorable Uchiha's forehead and smiled, “All better now?”
“Yup!” a young Sasuke grinned before scampering off.
End Flashback
It only took a few moments more for Sasuke to snap out of his reverie.
“Sasuke-kun? Are you alright?” Kayume asked gently with both hands on his shoulders and looked into his dark eyes.
He lowered his eyes to the ground and lifted his hands to grasp her wrists, “Where were you all these years?” he asked quietly, “Where were you when I needed you?” he said even softer.
She removed her hands from his shoulders and he let go of her wrists.
“I'm sorry Sasuke-kun, I shouldn't have left to begin with. He assured me that the memory would be repressed, and the only way you would ever remember would be if someone revealed it to you again… And the only people who could ever know about my relationship with him never actually knew or… is essentially gone…”
She was ashamed for having left the young boy to cope with the loneliness all these years, but she couldn't just let her love leave her life forever.
They stood in silence for a while and the sky became red, orange and pink; neither would look the other in the eye.
Slowly, his gaze shifted to her face, but their eyes would not make contact.
“Kayume-san… Would you like to stay at my house?” he murmured in a low voice and a blush spread across his cheeks.
It wouldn't be so bad with her staying with me and then maybe I can find something out about that asshole brother of mines. Sasuke contemplated.
“I'd love to, really, but what would the others think? I'm probably sure Sakura-chan will want to kill me and well, it'd be rather complicated,” the roseate haired kunoichi reasoned with an earnest smile. “You can come and visit me any time you like when my new house is done.”
Sasuke was a little saddened when he heard her decline his offer but she had a point; too many people would start talking about why there was someone else living on the Uchiha grounds aside from himself.
He could only nod, trying to hide his sadness.
“Aww… Sasuke-kun, you've never lost that adorable look,” Kayume commented with a grin and the kissed him on the cheek.
“Hey!” was all he could manage as he tried to suppress the smile creeping to his lips. His face was already a dark shade of pink.
Then something snapped in Sasuke's mind, “Wait! Kayume-san, I asked you about Itachi earlier… what happened to that bastard?” He realized now that she had been dodging the question the entire time.
Kayume's shoulders slumped before she grinned and chuckled nervously at him. “Uh… I'll tell you some other time…”
“No. I need to know. You should realize I swore vengeance the day the clan was slaughtered by that devil,” Sasuke's demeanour had completely changed; he was seething with anger.
“Sasuke, please calm down. I will tell you eventually, but there are things - circumstances that you need to be aware about first,” she pleaded.
“Then tell me,” he deadpanned.
“It is not the time, but I will tell you… soon.”
“Fine. I'll wait a week and I want to know then. If you won't tell me, I'll have to make you.”
“Make me eh? My dear Sasuke-kun, you think you could make me tell you? You saw what I did to Kakashi-san, you saw my speed,” she disappeared and reappeared behind Sasuke with a kunai to his neck, “do you really think you can make me?”
Sasuke stiffened. “It'd be wiser if you just waited until I was good and ready to tell you all that happened… And don't tell your sensei this,” she lowered her voice, “but I could probably teach you more than he can, even if he's mastered over a thousand jutsus.”
In the distance…
“Oh really Kayume-chan… you'd be a better teacher than me? Is that a challenge?” Kakashi questioned with a smirk.
Sasuke turned to look into Kayume's eyes, his own asking, “Really…”
“You can bet on it,” she replied to the boy's unspoken question and to Kakashi in the distance.
Sasuke didn't seem to detect Kakashi's masked chakra (A/N: if I told you all Kayume could do then it'd ruin the story).
“Relax would you? Sakura-chan was right, you ARE too uptight,” Kayume said and frowned. “There's more to life than vengeance. Know that at least.”
“So what can you teach me that Kakashi-sensei can't?” Sasuke asked with an arrogance lining his voice.
“First things first, what you won't see me doing is reading porn in public, right Kakashi-sensei?” she stated and flung a kunai into the trees.
What?! He was here the whole time? Why didn't I detect his chakra? Sasuke's eyes darted to the approaching figure.
Kakashi was now standing a few metres away from them and he was holding Kayume's kunai in one hand and Come Come Paradise in the other. He tossed the knife back at her and she caught it easily and tucked it back into her pouch.
Kakashi was still smirking underneath his mask and he decided to challenge his newfound rival. He put his beloved novel away and folded his arms.
“So Kayume-chan, what could you possibly teach Sasuke that I can't?”
“Well let's see here,” Kayume said and tapped her chin, “I've trained under all three legendary sennin, yes, that includes the despicable Orochimaru and the perverted Jiraiya-sama. And also…” she trailed off as memories came flooding back to her. “A, certain Uchiha taught me quite a bit as well.”
Both Sharingan users' eyes darted to Kayume.
“You mean… Itachi taught you?” Sasuke stuttered and proceeded to glare at her.
“Yes…” she remained quiet for a bit before continuing, “I can—” she was now holding Kakashi's favourite orange book her hand, “teach you what REAL speed is.”
Both Sasuke and Kakashi were speechless.
No… No one… No one has ever been able to take that from me… What have I gotten myself into?? Kakashi inwardly groaned.
Hmm… Maybe she's right… If Itachi taught her… then… I could possibly learn how to kill him using one of his own techniques… Sasuke thought silently.
As the two guys continued to think to themselves…
“Hmm… I wonder what's so interesting about Come Come Paradise anyhow?” Kayume said aloud catching their attention and began to open the novel to a folded page.
Kakashi lunged for the book and Kayume shifted to the side, her face now a deep shade of pink. “Kakashi-san! I can't believe you actually read this! Hentai!” she yelled before slamming the book shut and throwing it into his face. “I can't believe Jiraiya-sama! Ero-sennin!”
Sasuke couldn't help but smirk. Kayume-san and Naruto should get along fine…
“Bye Kakashi-sensei, later Kayume-san,” Sasuke said but the perverted jounin and the fuming Haruno probably couldn't hear his farewell over their dispute anyway.
“Bye Sasuke-kun!” Kayume called out to the retreating form of the dark haired boy. He merely lifted his hand and waved.
After a while of heatedly glaring at Kakashi, he grinned.
“What are you smiling about Ero-sensei?” the slightly angry kunoichi asked and leered at him through narrowed eyes.
“Nothing… I was just thinking how you and Sakura are so much alike… Is there something special about the men in the Uchiha clan that I don't know about? They always seemed to have so many fan girls… and the occasional fan boy…” the jounin asked and looked away from Kayume.
“I'm guessing you saw the memory genjutsu I performed?” Kayume took a few steps closer to Kakashi and brought her face close to his. “Are you jealous Kakashi-san?” she said in an oh-too-seductive way.
His eyelid lowered to feign lust and he wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her closer. “Should I be?” he asked in a low sexy voice.
Kayume could feel the rumble in his chest as he spoke. It made her want to tremble in excitement. Let's see what'll make him crack. She reached a hand up to his face and traced his lips with her finger.
Hmm… I can play this game too… The older man thought as he moved his hand up her back and gently pushed her in closer.
Kayume had to remove her hand because they were pressed so closely together. I've got to calm down… Stupid Kakashi and his hotness! I will not lose! I've got to make the next move before he does! Gah!
In his mind Kakashi couldn't help but chuckle. He could feel her erratic heartbeat and could tell that her mind was struggling to tell her body to jump back and scream hentai! but her pride wouldn't let her do it. Ah… Kayume-chan… What are you going to do next? Why don't you just give in already? I'm too experienced, what could you possibly—
His train of thought was immediately cut off as he saw her slightly parted lips moving closer to his masked ones. He could feel her hot breath and then a soft press of her lips on his. She bit his lower lip lightly, playfully, before gradually pulling away from him.
The silver haired jounin was astonished by her boldness to say the least. He was rendered speechless… again! She truly is FULL of surprises…
“I'll see you again Kakashi-san…” the dangerously seductive vixen whispered huskily and winked before leaving in a flutter of cherry blossoms.
Amongst the settling petals Kakashi noticed a slip of white paper.
“The game has begun Kakashi-san, and I've already won the first round.”
Kakashi only chuckled at her devilish antics. We'll see Kayume-chan… This is only the beginning…
End of Chapter Two
Oo la la… Kakashi x Kayume! =D How was that chapter? I know it was shorter than the first but I don't want to reveal everything about Kayume just yet okies? No? Too bad! Muahahahahha xD
I probably won't go beyond that level of fluffiness or lemony goodness or whatever you want to call it. Not really my thing to go into DEEP detail about explicit scenes. Sorry to all the fluff lovers! xD
