Hatred Turned Love

Chapter 20: Curious Expressions

Hi all! Another exciting chappie updated and ready to get read! Will Akemi get out of the Naruto world? Who on earth is even attacking Akemi. And more importantly, will Akemi and Kakashi get busy? All these questions will be answered so stay tuned! (The last part sounded wrong)

AKEMI'S POV:

The aggravation of annoying scary stuff is really ticking me off. After finally finding the key until the evening (we punched Kakashi a million times with my added book attack combo by the way), we retrieved the broken mirror and headed back to Konoha.

Sasuke's plan didn't work because the windows were handled under tight regulations, so we couldn't really harm the house any further then it was. That was probably why Tsunade gave us the key in the first place.

And the mirror you ask?

The problem was it wasn't really for Tsunade. It was for a mean old hag who sort of reminded me of that one lady who was the manager of my apartment I lived in and bothered me about rent. She was sitting on the couch; probably because of her plumpness, I don't know…

The lady also brought her kid with her; a timid looking girl who looked at me, smiling slightly.

I smiled at her back. I looked at the lady's fat red face.

Was she trying to embarrass us in front of her kid?

I sighed, so did Kakashi. The rest of the kids and Gai's group were excused because it was mainly “our” mission.

“It was Kakashi-chan's fault,” I muttered.

Kakashi scratched the back of his head nervously.

“You were supposed to be in my team,” muttered Kakashi.

“HOW DARE YOU BREAK MY PRECIOUS MIRROR!” shrieked the lady.

“Um… sorry miss?” tried Kakashi.

Tsunade sighed.

“I'm sure they had some complications…” said Tsunade. “I mean it's just—.”

“I DON'T CARE IF THEY HAD COMPLICATIONS!” spat the woman. “IF THEY HAD PROBLEMS BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH…”

To me… that's what I hear when people like her annoy me.

“Nice going…” said Sai.

“Hey, you were the one who ditched me,” I thought angrily.

“I was a little… preoccupied at the moment,” said Sai. “Just for a bit…”

“On what?”

Sai didn't reply.

I shifted my eyes to her daughter, who was crying.

“Hey your daughter…” I said worriedly.

“BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH…”

Her daughter cried louder. She was only four years old…

“Hey you're scaring her!” I said angrily.

“WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?” screamed the lady. “STOP CRYING YOU BRAT!”

She slapped the poor kid to shut up; that just made the little girl cry harder. Was that kid even her mom?

My temple tensed.

FLASHBACK:

“Mommy, don't go!” I cried.

“Let go of me!” snapped my mother, slapping my face.

END OF FLASHBACK

“BITCH!” I snarled, and I slapped the lady.

On the face…

Oops…

Tsunade looked flabbergasted, so did Kakashi. The lady was also surprised, and so was the kid.

“I… I apologize…” said Tsunade. “I… um…”

“No need to hear it from you,” said the lady, her voice was raspy. “I need to hear it from her.”

I stared at the ground.

Crap…

“Akemi-chan,” whispered Kakashi. He nudged me.

I glared directly at the lady.

“Why the hell should I?” I snapped.

Tsunade and Kakashi stood silent.

“What did you say?” said the woman angrily.

“And why the hell do you care for some old broken mirror anyway?” I continued. “A person died in front of it—.”

“You were the one who broke it!”

“It's your fault that you put it in some old house!”

Yes, I was losing it.

The kid was sobbing.

“Shut up!” snarled the lady, to her child.

“Don't tell her to shut up!” I said angrily. “You're talking to me!”

“You have no authority on what I should—.”

“Do you think I care?”

“You are not talking in civilized manner—.”

“You want civilized?” I snapped. “Then get your saggy ass off the couch and let's take it outside!”

“I told you to quiet down!” said the lady at her kid, AGAIN.

OH MY GAWD!

What's with her in putting her anger in someone innocent?

“Stop abusing her!” I said, my temper rising. “Pay attention to me!”

“I didn't—.”

“THEN WHY THE FUCK DID YOU HIT YOUR KID?” I shouted.

I think everyone in Konoha heard me… but it wasn't like I cared…

I stood there, red faced and furious.

Tsunade stood up.

“Enough…” she said. Her tone was serious.

To my surprise, the lady was crying.

“I can't take this!” she said, running along with her child on hand, out of Tsunade's office.

I felt my lip tremble.

“Akemi-chan…”said Kakashi sadly.

“Akemi-chan, what happened there?” said Tsunade. “I mean—.”

“Look, I'm sorry okay?” I said angrily, my eyes were getting watery. “I just… I'm sorry…”

I ran out of the room, punching the door open, as quickly as possible, only just stopping right outside of the building.

I smelled the open fresh air, and the slight breezes that touched my face. I calmed down a bit.

I felt the scar on my arm that my mother gave me. It didn't fully heal because she repetitively hit the exact spot over and over again.

I sighed, holding the strong surge against my throat.

Stupid faggot lady, it was her fault she ticked me off. Although I get ticked off easily.

“Akemi-chan,” said Sai. “Do you like this world, better than your own world?”

“I…”

Why the heck is Sai asking me that question?

“If it makes my life easier,” I thought. “Like it already has then… yes, I like this world better.”

“Even if it means—.”

“Look, I'm not really in the mood to like… talk about this crap,” I thought darkly. “Sorry Sai, but as you saw what just happened to me and—.”

“Yeah, I understand,” said Sai. “Good thing you didn't get your ass kicked.”

“If you were here…”

“But I'm not.”

“Shut it…”

“Heh…”

I heard someone come from behind me.

“Akemi-chan,” said Kakashi.

I felt his hand on my shoulder.

“HOLY—!” I snapped. “Don't scare me like that!”

“Sorry, couldn't help it,” said Kakashi laughing.

“Came out here to scold me?” I asked. “Or—.”

“Nah,” said Kakashi. “Then again, I'm not big on scolding.”

“Sure…”

A moment of silence made me a bit uncomfortable; especially since I put Kakashi in a lot of trouble.

“Sorry man…” I mumbled. “I really didn't mean it.”

Kakashi smiled.

“It's okay,” he said. “It really is.”

I couldn't help but smile at him for a bit. Man, this guy…

“That woman really got into you,” said Kakashi.

“Yeah, I guess,” I said.

“Need anything to cheer you up?” he asked.

“Tch,” I laughed. “What are you, my dad?”

I slightly felt myself uneasy saying that. Damn, why did I say it?

There was an uncomfortable silence again. Kakashi cleared his throat, thinking about changing the subject…

“Want a hug?” asked Kakashi.

I didn't laugh seeing Kakashi smiling face. Is he freakin' serious?

“I hate hugs,” I said stubbornly.

“Maybe because you never got one,” said Kakashi.

I turned angrily at him.

“I—.”

However, Kakashi pulled me into a warm bear hug.

However, I broke the connection quickly. I wasn't really into people giving me hugs, sort of reminded my past a lot.

I pushed Kakashi away, in a galaxy far, far away. That's where I placed him. Guess what, he came back.

“I'm fine…”

“You sure?”

“Yeah…”

I saw Kakashi smile at me. I felt myself blush a bit.

“What a hag…” I muttered angrily.

“Well, the mirror was very precious to her,” said Kakashi, shrugging. Good thing he knew who I was talking about.

“She didn't have to slap her kid to quiet down,” I said.

“There are parents like that, Akemi-chan,” said Kakashi. “We can't really do anything about it…”

“Yeah well…” I snapped. “She didn't have to do it in front of me.”

“So child abuse really gets to you, doesn't it?” asked Kakashi.

“Didn't you see how I slapped that lady?” I said.

Kakashi smiled.

“You're very tough and—.”

“You gonna treat me to ramen?” I asked.

“…spoiled…” sighed Kakashi.

“Never mind, let's get what you want now…” I muttered. “What was it you liked? Fried fish and miso soup right?”

“Ahh… Akemi-chan, we have another mission to do…”

I stared at him.

“I'm not… fired?” I asked.

“Fired for what?”

“Uh, hello?” I said. “That violent act on that plump—.”

“Oh, no Tsunade and I discussed for another mission,” said Kakashi happily.

“When will this end?” I whined.

“Hey, you chose this occupation, it's your fault,” said Sai. “I tried to warn you, but did you listen? No…”

“Maybe a little heads up about unlimited torture?” I thought.

“Maybe you should get some sense for a present,” said Sai.

“Thanks, you're my best friend in the world,” I thought dully.

“Aren't I your only friend?”

“Shut up.”

“So…”

“Yeah, so don't have worry about it Akemi-chan,” said Kakashi.

There was a guilty surge against me.

“Now I feel really bad,” I said sadly.

“Well, if it makes you feel better,” said Kakashi brightly, “I told Tsunade-sama that you were the one who broke the mirror.”

“… thanks…”

“No problem.”

“So, what's the new mission?” I asked dully.

“Well…”

KAKASHI'S POV:

Akemi was a little mad at me, but I thought it made her happy, seeing that she won't be feeling guilty at any time at all.

Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto came at once to the front gates of Konoha.

“I know you guys are tired and hungry,” I said. “And I know you guys had more important things to do…”

Everyone glared at me.

“You knew and still you assigned us to a mission?” asked Naruto grumpily.

I saw Sasuke massage his arm. Sakura's leg was trembling for a bit. Everyone was sore and tired.

“Hey now,” I said. “This isn't that bad of a mission, it's actually one of those one hour ones.”

“If it's protecting someone, I'm in,” said Naruto. “Or a bowl of ramen in exchange…”

“So what kind of mission is this?” asked Sakura.

Akemi snorted.

“One hour, eh Kakashi-chan?” she said.

I laughed nervously.

“Well, Tsunade-sama asked us a favor in collecting a flower in the northern parts of Konoha,” I explained. “This flower will help her in research will many new cures and remedies.”

“And so…”

“We need to go to those fields and find that flower,” I said. “Er… it has a black tinted color, the relating flower it white.”

“So why the black and not the white?” asked Sakura.

“Will it kill us?” Sasuke asked.

“Um… the white flowers will somehow, attract you to someone you first see,” said Kakashi. “So it's better you don't sniff the pollen of it.”

“Oh,” said everyone. Random situations, but they're random too, so they can mix well.

“Okay, got that settled?”

“Just one question,” said Akemi. “How are we supposed to find a flower that was extinct for almost one hundred years?”

I sighed. Akemi you blew it. I forgot I told her about it before… crap…

Akemi gave me a smile, a fake one. She frowned immediately when made eye contact. I saw a glimpse of one of my romance novels in her insane hands.

“Revenge is sweet,” hissed Akemi. I gulped.

Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura's eyes were as big as Osaka. Then their eyes were so narrow with anger it looked like they were sleeping, standing up.

“Geez Kakashi-sensei, how low can you get?” said Naruto angrily.

“Finding an extinct flower?” said Sakura. “That's—.”

“Impossible, in case you can go back in time,” said Sasuke. “Or make it alive or something…”

“I think we can find the flower before the next sunrise,” I said.

“THE NEXT SUNRISE?” boomed Naruto. “YOU KNOW HOW LONG THAT'LL TAKE?”

“I'm not deaf Naruto, I can hear pretty well,” I said.

“Guys, I'm sure we'll be able to find the flower before sunrise,” said Akemi.

“Thanks Akemi-chan,” I said.

“Man, I haven't really hit you with my special attacks in a long time,” said Akemi thoughtfully. “It's been, how long—?”

“So we better get going,” I interrupted, “Right now it's only around 3:00 pm in the afternoon.”

AKEMI'S POV:

We found the large flower field surrounded by tall trees. The sunlight was blocked, but somehow the flowers survived.

There was a ton of those white flowers everywhere. Everyone had a mask on like Kakashi's. I thought my cramps were going to worsen because of this mission, but—.

“HEY GUYS I FOUND IT!” roared Naruto.

Everyone ran to him, hardly daring to believe it.

“Crap, it is black,” I said in awe.

The black flower in Naruto's hand was displayed beautifully.

“Great job Naruto,” said Kakashi. “Now we can head back.”

“That was strangely fast,” said Sakura. “Are you sure—?”

“Hey can we sniff the flower?” I asked.

“Sure, it's actually good for you when you do sniff it,” said Kakashi.

I took off my mask and sniffed the flower gingerly.

“Wow, nice smell,” I said dreamily.

“Akemi-san's stench is prohibiting for me to smell at all,” said Sasuke meanly.

“Oh yeah punk?” I snapped.

I dunked his head on the black flower.

“Hey!” he hissed.

“Oh shut it,” I said.

“Naruto, you head back and give this to Tsunade-sama, while—.”

“What do you mean?” asked Sakura. “Why aren't we—?”

“Did I mention that we also have to pick up the litter from the forest?” asked Kakashi nervously.

“No,” I said.

“Oh, well now you know,” Kakashi said brightly.

“WHAT?!?”

I grabbed his book.

“Multiple—.”

Agh… my head…

KAKASHI'S POV:

“Ah!”

I tried dodging her attack, but the book follows the enemy.

I didn't feel anything for a long time; which was weird.

“Akemi-chan?”

Akemi's eyes were… blank. She had a sly smile across her lips.

Was she planning something more in-depth evil?

Akemi walked towards me.

She hugged me…

Didn't she say she hated hugs?

“Kakashi-chan!” she giggled. “Will you be mine?”

OH MY G—!

To be continued…
