Hatred Turned Love

Chapter 11: Having No Time

Hey guys… My time is thin when I write my fanfics, so can you guys wait a little? Thanks for taking your time to read my fanfic, I really appreciate. Oh yeah… I was in a bad mood when I wrote this fanfic… so Akemi is pissed, like me. Please review! Thanks!

AKEMI'S POV:

Kakashi and I talked to Tsunade about Itachi and his men trying to kidnap me… she said she would do further research… Her time isn't free… so it will take a while.

I seriously didn't forget about that incident on “Happy Sunshine Shitty Lake” or whatever it was called. Kakashi tried his best to cheer me up, but as forgiving goes…

… it ain't happening...

“Why are you making such a big deal out of this?” said Kakashi.

“Because… it's really… embarrassing…” I said. “Dude… what if I saw you naked?”

He didn't answer my question.

“But I just said you had a nice figure” said Kakashi. “And what difference does it make; I've already seen you naked last time... why are you so...?”

I punched him REALLY hard on his arm. I'm seriously going to get scarred for life…

“Ow…”

“What the heck!” I said angrily. Kakashi laughed a little.

“Akemi-chan, c'mon…” said Kakashi as I stomped on the path. “It was… an accident…”

“You know what?” I snapped, spinning around to face him. “An accident is something, like… per say; peeing on your pants or accidentally breaking something precious; notice the word `accidentally', not… not…”

“Yes?”

I can't believe he just said that.

“NOT STARING AT ME NAKED WITHOUT LOOKING AWAY!” I screamed, blowing Kakashi away. “THAT'S JUST… THAT'S JUST SOME MENTAL SEXUAL HARASSMENT THING-A-MA-GIG!”

I stomped toward my apartment, leaving Kakashi.

I didn't talk to him… for about ten minutes. Eheh… but that isn't an exception, I was still mad at him.

He had to teach me the summoning technique. I tried summoning a dog.

“Doton Tsuiga no Jutsu” I said (Tracking Fang technique), biting my finger and wiping the blood on the scroll. I quickly placed it on the ground.

There was smoke… oh shoot, my dogs gonna be the BEST!

It was a puppy.

It looked sort of like White Fang, except smaller.

“It's not going to help if you summon only one small dog,” said Kakashi.

He summoned his eight dogs, including his talking dog, Pakkun.

“Show-off…” I muttered.

Kakashi grinned.

“Gee… only learning this today and not getting it right is so embarrassing compared to the many years you had summoning dogs…” I said.

“You'll get it right…”

“Whatever.”

After a couple more tries, I summoned only two this time. One was male and the other was female.

They were FREAKIN' cute.

“Aw…” I said, hugging my two twin (they are not identical) puppies.

Kakashi congratulated me.

“I'll name you Sora,” I said to the female. “And you (to the male)… Soma.”

The two dogs happily licked my face.

“It's a start,” said Kakashi. “But I don't think anyone will be scared of two innocent puppies.”

“Who said they wouldn't bite?”

“Huh?”

“Attack him,” I ordered my dogs, pointing to Kakashi.

“Attack her…” said Kakashi, trying to defend himself.

(We were kidding, of course… but the dogs weren't)

My dogs sorta… knocked out Kakashi's. They looked bloody thirsty.

“Now for the main course!” I said evily.

The puppies furiously attacked Kakashi.

“GAH!” he said, running away.

After two hours, I called them back.

That's what he gets. Sorta…

I went toward the ramen café to meet up with Sakura and Naruto.

“There's going be a festival coming up,” said Sakura.

When I didn't respond, Naruto spoke.

“It's supposed to be fun…” he replied.

“What kind is it?” I asked.

“Just… a Halloween one…” said Sakura. “I mean, today's Halloween's Eve….”

I shivered. I hate scary stuff, especially ghosts. That's right; I hate ghosts and water (not as much as dogs now). Did I mention how I get ballistic whenever I see a scary movie?

“That's nice,” I responded.

I turned to them. They hopefully looked at me.

“What's your point?” I said.

“I mean… Sasuke-kun said he was going,” said Sakura. “But I'm not sure about Kakashi-sensei.”

“Okay…” I said, continuing to eat my soup. Sakura and Naruto exchanged nervous looks.

I stared at them.

“What's with you guys?” I asked. Both of them cleared their throats.

“Well…” said Naruto. “Don't you… want Kakashi-sensei to come?”

I choked on my rice.

“PAH!” I yelled, making Sakura and Naruto slightly jump. “Why should I invite a sore, perverted loser to the festival?”

“Are you talking about Kakashi-sensei?” asked Naruto.

“Akemi-chan… please!” said Sakura ignoring Naruto's stupidity. “It'll mean a lot to him!”

“Wait, hold up!” I said. “A lot to him? What about me?”

“Well… Kakashi-sensei seemed a little down lately,” said Sakura. “Maybe if you ask him… he'll realize that you've forgiven him.”

“That's the point…” I said. “I haven't… besides, why can't you guys ask him?”

“We're a little busy,” said Sakura, in a slightly forced happy tone. She elbowed Naruto, because he was going to suggest that it wasn't a bad idea.

I sighed.

“If Kakashi-pervert's going, I'm definitely not going…”

Sakura looked at me sadly.

“Please do this one favor!” said Sakura, slightly sad. “It'll mean a lot to us, right Naruto?”

Naruto nodded.

“Please Akemi-chan?” said Naruto.

I looked upon their cute baby faces in sad remorse.

I sighed again.

“Alright, alright!” I said impatiently. “I'll… I'll ask Kakashi-chan…”

“Yay!” they piped.

“Now… where is he?”

“Um…” said Naruto. Sakura didn't know either.

“Aw, c'mon you guys!” I said angrily. If they wanted me to ask him, they could've just told me where he was.

KAKASHI'S POV:

I didn't mean to look at her, I mean… I just couldn't help it. I felt REALLY dirty right now. Boy… Akemi can really hold a grudge…

Maybe it was because I just couldn't keep my eyes off her. Not because she was… erm… but because she was so…

“Hey, Kakashi-mutt!” said a voice.

I turned away from the black stone grave to see who that voice belonged to…

SHIT! IT WAS AKEMI!

I slowly backed away from her. Where were her dog minions?

“H… hi Akemi-chan…” I said nervously. “W… what's up?”

“The sky…” muttered Akemi. “Easy Whitey-chan, I'm not… furious right now…”

“…?”

“Do you have your book?” she asked. Uh-oh…

“N… no…” I lied, shuffling my pockets to further hide the red cover. She gave me a glare. She can totally see right through me.

“Good…” said Akemi. “It's for your own good if you didn't…”

“Is that all that you were asking me?” I asked. I still have the bruises from the two book attack she gave me earlier.

She looked at the green grass. Did she just… blush?

“No…” muttered Akemi.

AKEMI'S POV:

Aw man… how am I gonna do this? He'll think I'm asking him out or something. I bit my lip.

“Er… there's a festival coming up,” I said.

“…” was Kakashi's answer.

“And…” I continued. “I was just wondering… if maybe…”

I gulped.

“Akemi-chan?”

“Do… you want to go to the festival?” I asked. “W… w… with me?”

Kakashi stared. Agh… here comes the answer.

“I'm sorry…”

I snapped back to reality. He… he's rejecting me?

“I'm really busy today and… and…” said Kakashi sadly. “I just don't have the time.”

I felt myself shaking a little. Why do I feel so…?

“Akemi-chan, are you okay?” asked Kakashi worriedly.

“Yeah… yeah, I'm good…” I said. I felt… sad. It conquered my angry feelings I had about last week. I felt like… crying almost…

What the hell is wrong with me?

“Akemi-chan, I'm sorry…” said Kakashi.

My voice was strangled.

“It's cool…” I said. “I knew you were busy… sorry I bothered you…”

I ran toward the café.

KAKASHI'S POV:

I can't believe what I just said. I… I had hurt her feelings.

I remembered what Tsunade told me this morning.

“As choosing this job in protecting Akemi-chan, you mustn't spend too much time with her,” said Tsunade. “It'll cause your guard to go down and it'll get wrecked… just try not to be too caught up with her.”

“I'm sorry,” I strangled to say. “I really am…”

It was no use. I was just talking to thin air.

AKEMI'S POV:

I can't believe Sakura and Naruto dragged me into this.

I felt sour… That was a big slap on the face Kakashi just gave me (not hitting… but in words…).

“What do you expect?” said Sai. “You were mad at him first, remember?”

“But… I never knew Kakashi would get mad…” I thought. “I thought… he was like Barney or something… that guy can't get ticked so easily…”

“Why are you so sad about this?” asked Sai. “I thought you didn't want him to go with you… and now you just asked him?”

Sai's right. What made me change my mind?

I wiped little of the specks of tears off my face as fast as I can as I ran toward the two: Sakura and Naruto. I saw them waiting for me.

“So?” they asked. “How'd it go?”

I shrugged.

“Uh… he said he couldn't go,” I said casually. “He was a little busy.”

Sakura and Naruto looked disappointed.

“Hey, we can have fun without him!” I said happily. “Where's Sasuke-bozu?”

“I dunno…”

Sasuke came after five minutes.

“You guys owe me a big one for asking Kakashi-chan to the festival…” I said to Naruto and Sakura.

“You asked Kakashi-sensei to the festival?” asked Sasuke.

“Yeah… just a few minutes ago…” I said. “Why?”

“You didn't have to, I already did…” said Sasuke.

“Eh?” I said. “When and why?”

“I dunno… Sakura asked me to, so I did…” said Sasuke. “I asked him yesterday…”

“Why didn't you tell me?” I demanded.

“You never asked…” said Sasuke.

“Wait… Sakura already knew you asked Kakashi-chan?” I asked. “And Naruto, he knew too…?”

“Yeah… why?”

I spun toward Sakura and Naruto, who were trying to get toward a sneaky getaway.

“COME BACK HERE YOU MIDGETS!” I roared angrily, running after them.

“Yikes!”

Festival Time…

Sakura bought me a kimono and offered to give me some beauty tips. I was angry that she was bringing up that subject. It was like she was telling me that I was ugly. But then again, I didn't think about myself as being a pretty person.

But I decreased my anger. I was blaming it all on poor Sakura, being stressed out `n all. I shouldn't do that. I should do it to Kakashi instead.

My temper is really at its boiling point nowadays.

“You look beautiful…” said Sai. “Have fun…”

“Thanks…” I said, while I strapped on my sash.

“This will probably get your mind off Kakashi…” said Sai.

“Yeah…”

My hairdo was a bun, and my bangs were brushed twice so they can be silky. That's what Sakura said. Silky? Who cares about looks…

I sighed again and fastened my sandals on. Sakura and I went together to the festival, where we met up with Sasuke and Naruto. Naruto's kimono wasn't bad… it was blue and… it didn't match him really. Sasuke didn't wear any kimono, but just his regular ninja clothes. He didn't look like he wanted to come…

“He's not into it, is he?” I said.

“Nope…”

Two hours past. We played some festival game and ate some candy. It was fun… but something was missing.

It was almost ten o'clock already.

“This is when people dress in costumes and chase after you like crazy,” said Naruto.

“Can they touch you?” I asked. “Or actually catch you?”

“Yup… and if they do, they'll do something to you but I'm not sure, I was never caught…” said Naruto.

Okay… Naruto was freaking me out…

“Run!” said Sakura, running away with Sasuke. There were ten costumed scary people closing in on the villagers, trying to imitate a really scary noise.

I have freakin' sandals on!

Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke were wearing sport shoes.

Geez…

The villagers screamed playfully and tried running away. There were werewolves, I think a vampire, some other big monster, and… some other thing I didn't know what the hell it was, but I'll call it a monster.

One werewolf spun on my direction. He was big.

“Shoot!”

I started running away, towards the forest. In the movies, you're really dense if you tried running away from some danger by trying to ditch them in the woods. There might be something else in there…

I was dense today…

I was running away from the werewolf dude as fast as my skinny frail legs can go. I remembered my marathon race in my old school was against a group of fatties.

And then…

My head ached. There was a cry of a wolf. Thoughts of my dad, my brother, and the wolf from my dream were coming to me. It was coming on to me. My dreams… I… I…

I screamed. The pain it…

I fell on the ground, unconscious.

What seemed to be a little later…?

“Wake up, Akemi!” said Sai.

“Agh… Sai?”

“Are you alright?”

“Wha' happened?” I asked.

“You passed out,” said Sai. “And I think you did compete against a group of fatties…”

“Thanks a lot…” I said, a little irritated.

Someone was nudging me. I opened my eyes very slowly. It was… a boy…

“Ah!” I said, shocked. “What the freak!”

He just sat there… looking at me. I was still in the forest.

“Erm… did I pass out?” I asked.

He nodded, helping me up.

“Thanks…” I said. “So…”

A heard a cricket.

“Do you know how to get out of here?” I asked him.

The boy nodded. He sort of looked ghastly. He was carrying a stuffed animal with his left hand.

“Wow… I ran this much?” I said. The boy nodded again.

A few minutes past… I still couldn't see the light from Konoha.

“Later I have to go to this place Naruto told me about… I think it was a hotel or something…” I muttered. “What a pain…”

The boy smiled at me. He offered me his hand.

…he sort of reminds me of my brother, like Naruto being alike to my brother.

I smiled back, taking his offer.

“My name is Akemi…” I said.

“I'm Hideki…” said the boy.

“That's a nice name…” I said. The boy beamed.

“Are you alone?” I asked him.

Hideki nodded slowly.

“I'm trying to look for my mommy and daddy…” said Hideki. “They went somewhere… but they never came back…”

I frowned. Could it be that his parents…?

I perked up my smile again.

“You'll find your mom and dad soon…” I said, trying not to think about the subject.

“Nobody helped me…” said the boy angrily. “They never bothered to help…”

“Well… I'll help you…” I said. “As soon as I get back, I'll round up a big search party… does that sound good?”

Hideki nodded again.

I saw the light now… the festival must be still going on.

The light was flickering because of the trees blocking my view.

“I think I can handle it from here…” I said. I looked at Hideki… but he was… gone…

That was… weird…

The forest became pitch black again. The trees blocked the moon.

“Agh… I can't see…” I said. I felt something really hairy hold my hand.

“ACK!” I said. It was the werewolf who tried chasing me at the festival.

“You almost gave me a heart attack!” I hissed.

The werewolf didn't say anything. This dude definitely wants to keep his costume legacy to go on…

“You're not… a dude, are you?” I asked. The werewolf didn't say anything.

“You're a dudet… right?”

Again, the costume person didn't say anything. O… kay…

He lead me toward Konoha… the light was gleaming ahead. He/she instantly loosened his grip and had let go of my hand.

“Thanks for bringing me back…” I said gratefully. What about that boy back there?

“He was really mysterious…” said Sai.

“Like you…” I said. Sai cleared her throat. Since when did she have a throat?

“Don't let your guard down,” said Sai. “And be careful.”

“Yeah, yeah…”

I hope he's okay.

I sighed. I feel really lonely. I really wished Kakashi came along.

Why did I just think that now?

“I need some advice for a friend, can you help me werewolf-san?” I asked it. It nodded. This place gave me the creeps, but now it's boring…

“You see, I had a friend named A… Atsuki, who sort of asked a boy named K… Kohaku to the Halloween festival, but he said he was too busy…” I said. “I mean… he pissed Atsuki off in the past and apologized for it… but Atsuki was the type who got easily flamed up.”

The werewolf was looking at me.

“Atsuki didn't mean to get angry… just… she wished he understood that she was tired of it… tired of getting pissed, tired of getting stressed, and tired of getting so depressed.” I said sadly. “Atsuki wished that maybe she would've forgiven him earlier… but no, she was a stupid ditz who was selfish and all she wanted was a normal life.”

I sighed, a sad sigh. It felt really good to talk to someone, even if it was through a complete stranger.

“Maybe if he forgave me… I would feel a lot better,” I said, not referring to my alias. “Maybe if I had a chance to tell him that I was sorry, I don't think he has to apologize… I've been saying sorry so much… it feels like it's not going anywhere… Well… what do you think?”

The werewolf hugged me. Whoa… was it that emotional of a story?

It hugged me tight.

“Dude, what's up?” I asked.

“The sky…” mumbled the werewolf.

Eh? It was…!

To be continued…
