Hatred Turned Love
Chapter 6: Complicated
Hey guys! Give me a high five…! Okay… you don't have to… anyways… I hope you enjoy this chappie! Worked REALLY hard…! Please review!
AKEMI'S POV:
Why did he keep staring at me? Was there something on my face? I was getting self-conscious...
Maybe... it's because I'm ugly...” I thought sadly.
I think you look beautiful...” said Sai. “I think Kakashi thinks so too...”
I never saw you before...” I thought, suspicious.
...”
Sai?”
You'll see me later...” said Sai.
“...”
It's because I'm ugly... people stare at me...” I thought.
Who stares at you...?”
Everyone...”
I thought that female ninja told you... you were really pretty...” said Sai. I blinked... Oh yeah... but then again, that bitch was ugly too...
And that Sasuke kid...”
I think he's just suspicious...” said Sai. “He doesn't really stare at you anymore...”
I guess...” I thought. “How about Kakashi, you heard him; he just wants to protect me because it's his job...?”
...”
Hello?”
Maybe he staring because you look stunning...” said Sai changing the subject (I almost choked).
Yeah right...”
Seriously...”said Sai. “Ever heard the saying beauty's skin deep?”
I sighed. I thought myself as a horrible young woman… inside and out...
Kakashi was... handsome, I hated to admit it. I bet he looked even sexier without his mask... Eh! Don't think that way, Akemi! Mental pat on head...
I was sleepy. I yawned.
Kakashi was still staring.
“What's up?” I asked, looking at him.
He continued to stare at me... with that deep gaze of his. It was like I...
I shook my head and faced the other way, blushing. No way was I falling for him... WHAT THE FREAK, WHY DO YOU KEEP BLUSHING?
“Stars are pretty tonight...” said Kakashi.
I nodded.
Sai gave me a mental slap on the head.
He can't hear a nod!” said Sai.
“Y... yeah...” I responded. Stupid Sai.
“Like you...”
I laid there, frozen solid.
“Wha... what did you day?” I asked.
Oh... boy..." said Sai.
“I said the stars were pretty...” Kakashi said. His gaze was still burning through my neck.
“No...” I said. “After that...”
“...”
“Well?”
“I said...” said Kakashi slowly. “That you were pretty...”
I gulped.
“What's wrong with that...?” Kakashi asked. I continued frozen stiff.
There wasn't anything wrong... just... man... I think too much, WAY too much...
“N... nothing...” I said, as Sai gave me another mental slap on the head to respond...
“O... kay...”
I shivered.
“Are you cold...?” Kakashi asked. I shook my head.
“Don't worry about it...” I said, teeth chattering. Since when did this place become the North Pole? The wind blew and I shivered like crazy...
And then...
Someone snuggled into me, wrapping a blanket over the both of us. Kakashi wrapped his arm on the arm that was exposed to the air (I was laying on my side...). I blushed like an apple. I heard Kakashi yawn as well. He nuzzled my neck that made me jump.
“Just what are doing?” I asked, trying to get away from his arms. He held me tight, which was one hell of a death grip...
“Keeping warm...” said Kakashi simply. “Either this, or freeze to death... ah... you sure are soft... and warm...”
I wanted to keep warm... but Kakashi was too close...Agh... I feel so uncomfortable...
Don't you like it that way...?” asked Sai.
Ye... No!”
Haha... gotcha...” said Sai.
I allowed Kakashi to snuggle next to me... I guess all he had was a blanket. I actually liked being near Kakashi...he made me feel safe... and he didn't treat me like crap...
"Thanks Kakashi..." I whispered.
"No problem..." Kakashi responded. "Don't think of it as... you know..."
I sorta did...
Ahem...
I fell asleep rather quickly, Kakashi's even, deep breathes wondered me off to dreamland... He's a real sweet guy after all...
KAKASHI'S POV:
I was good that Akemi had a nice goodnight sleep. I was worried that maybe something happened to her... did she have a purpose here, or something?
We headed toward Naomi's home in no time to drop off Naomi... then we went back to Konoha...
“That mission was pretty interesting...” said Naruto, a bit bored. “Considering how I didn't do anything...”
“It's okay Naruto,” said Akemi, patting him on the head, “Next time... it'll get better...”
“Better be...” muttered Naruto. I heard her laugh.
I saw her come up to me again.
“Sorry…”
Why was she sorry? She kept saying sorry all the time… Maybe it was because before she sort of… punched, kicked, bit, and head butted me to death.
“For what…?” I asked.
“For being… mean to you…”
“Oh…”
Yeah… that was it… She always apoligizes...
“I didn't mean it…” she said sadly. She truly looked it.
“It's okay,” I said, giving her a pat in the back. “It's because I'm a guy and girls are feisty… and…”
Oops…
She hit me hard, ON my shoulder that contained the bruise. It was still hurting… I knelt down in pain…
“Feisty…?” she asked. She totally snapped.
“I was just kidding…” I said, massaging my arm. “You're such a bully, you know that…?”
“Then cower before me!” said Akemi wickedly. “Muahahahaha!”
I stood up to face her.
“You're evil, you know that?” said Akemi, raising her face up to make eye contact.
“Heheh…”
She needs to grow more...
A couple more training… she was actually getting good. Her Chidori was getting more powerful and aggressive… I was amazed that she did it five times, which was nearly impossible.
It was impossible, but I guess it's the chakra within her. Maybe it had to do something about her cursed seal.
Tsunade told me she was still researching it… she told me that she was going to look up more resources and it would take a long time…
Two months passed already… it seemed Akemi and I got even closer… maybe closer than friends…
Yeah right…
AKEMI'S POV:
I hanged out with Kakashi again. We sat near some trees and the sun was setting.
“Did you believe I was a ninja?” he asked. I shook my head.
“Hardly…” I said. “I actually thought you were a rapist…”
“What?”
“I mean… with your mask and all…” I said quickly.
“No wonder you tried knocking me out…” Kakashi said. “But I don't get knocked out so easily…”
I shrugged. He was… kind of right…
He was reading his perverted book again.
“Kakashi?”
“Hmm?”
“Do you… live alone?”
“Couldn't you tell?” he said.
“I mean… you don't have anybody… any girlfriends…”
“Not really…” he said. “I don't have those kind of friends…”
“I see…”
I was happy that Kakashi was sharing his info about himself to me. We didn't talk for a long time like this…
“Yeah… I was alone too…” I replied. Why did I… say that?
“You live by yourself in…?”
“I don't belong here…” I said. “It's hard to explain… but I belong in, what you can say, different dimension…”
“Different dimension…?”
“Like… hmm…”
“Alien?” Kakashi asked.
“No… nothing like that…” I said, almost laughing. “Just… I belonged somewhere… and then I got into an accident… I was supposed to die… but I ended up falling… naked.”
I ended that last word very slowly. That... didn't make sense...
“Hmm…”
“So…”
“Just to make it simpler…” said Kakashi. “You don't belong anywhere near here… and you have no idea how you got here…”
“Exactly…” I said. I appreciated how Kakashi was taking this and understanding what I meant.
“The falling from the sky part…” said Kakashi. “Is what I don't get…”
I didn't get that part either. Was Sai trying to make fun of me or something...?
Maybe it was best if we talked about something else…
I was wondering about something for a long time…
“Do you have… silver or white hair?” I asked.
“Eh?” said Kakashi angrily, he looked up from his book. “Are you implying that I'm old?”
“Um… maybe…” I said. Heheh…
“Well, I'm not…” said Kakashi.
“Oh… so you have silver hair then…” I said. “What are you… in your thirties… forties tops?”
“I'm around twenty…” said Kakashi.
“Oh…”
I saw Kakashi back to reading his book again. Was it possible for someone to have silver hair? Especially if they were human?
“So…” I said. I was bored.
“Yeah?”
“We should have a secret name call or something…” I said. “I mean… you do have your mask on and everything…”
“Like… what kind of names…?” asked Kakashi, disinterested.
“I dunno… maybe I can call you… Kakashi-chan…”
“To you it's Kakashi-sensei…” said Kakashi. "You are such a kid..."
“Yeah, yeah… or better yet!” I exclaimed, ignoring Kakashi. “Maybe Scarecrow-chan… or…”
“Kakashi-sensei…” Kakashi said again.
“Hmm… maybe…” I eyed evilly to him.
“Old man-chan….” I said. I saw Kakashi flinch.
“Excellent!” I said out loud. “Or maybe pervert-chan!”
“Excuse me?” Kakashi said, snapping his head back up.
“Nah…” I said. “It's for that one guy… I think his name was the perverted-hermit or something… that's what Tsunade-sama said…”
“How about you?” Kakashi asked. I was catching some attention…
“Um…”
“Akemi-kun?” said Kakashi.
“Yeah… that'll be so cool….” I said sarcastically.
“I like to call you Akemi-chan though…” said Kakashi.
“Fine, fine, I'll call you Kakashi-chan…” I said. Kakashi still didn't get what he wanted…
"Why the honorific, chan?" Kakashi asked.
"'Cause you look like a girl..."
“Get another alias…” Kakashi said… he was a bit mad. Heheh…
“Beautiful-chan?” I asked. “I mean that's what my name means…”
“No… you're not beautiful…” said Kakashi. “You don't deserve that name… I was just ki….”
I fell silent.
“Akemi-chan?” Kakashi said.
I stared at the ground.
“Akemi-chan, I didn't mean…”
“It's okay…” I said. I smiled.
I expected Kakashi to say that… everyone did….
FLASHBACK:
Mommy, mommy!” I said, crying.
A boy told me that I was a snobbish geek. He said I was the ugliest thing he saw. I was five back then… and it was the first time I wore my glasses.
I went to my mother for comfort, but she just looked at me in disgust.
You should never had been born…” she said. She turned away from me and walked away.
Mom…?” I said. “Mommy?”
She didn't respond back, but kept walking.
END OF FLASHBACK
“It's okay…” I said again. “I'm used to hearing that…”
“No…” said Kakashi. “I didn't mean it… I swear…”
I looked at him. He wore a sad expression.
“I think you're pretty…” he said. “I did say it before…”
He gave me a weak smile. I winked at him.
Kakashi and I walked toward Konoha. I felt his gaze on me. He was looking at me worriedly.
"Kakashi-chan, we better hurry up!" I said, punching him playfully on the shoulder. "You don't want Naruto to wait for dinner..."
My words affected him highly, because Kakashi grabbed my hand and we ran toward Naruto's house. We already saw the damage Naruto caused with an empty stomach. You...don't want to see the results...
“Thanks…” I said softly.
Akemi…” said Sai.
Yah?”
Don't… fall in love with Kakashi…” she said.
What?” I thought. “What makes you think I'll…?”
It'll just hurt you in the end…” she said sadly.
Wait… you were the one who…”
I needed you to have faith and trust in Kakashi…” interrupted Sai. “Just… don't fall in love with him… alright?”
O… kay…”
There was no way in the world I would ever fall in love with Kakashi. Was there?
But in this world… anything was possible.
