This was suppose to be an one shot, but I turned into a two shot. The first one was in Kakashi point of view and this one is in Naruto. I hope you like it! I have been working on this for a few months. I don't know why it took me so long.
Anyway, I do not own Naruto. Do not sue me!
AND yes I know the grammar needs work, but I can't look at this anymore for a long long time. I have been staring at the screen for hours. As you should be able to tell, the first half is better proof than the ending, which signal my tiredness. I will reproof this later with a fresh mind.
Please review! I love to hear from you!
Forbidden Prank
Part two:
Naruto's point of view
Training wasn't always fun at times, it was out right depressing. Thought it went against everything that she stood for, she was depressed. It just made everything worse; it just reminded her how she wasn't good enough. It reminded her that she would never be the best no matter how much she worked.
Her golden locks danced around as she whirled into her next attack. She charged up a Rasengan and launched it at boulder, standing mere feet from her. Though she wondered if physical pain would ease emotional pain, she dodged the debris. She wouldn't let herself fall to that level of depression no matter what, even though she was borderline. She hated even thinking about it; It drove her insane.
Suddenly, something passed by the corner of her eyes, coursing her flinched. She studied the area, looking for any signs of movement, but the only movement that she saw came from wildlife. She took a deep breath, returning her attention to the training field. She packed up her things, deciding she was finished for the day. She needed to get her mind on something else. Naruto needed a break.
––––
Ramen was Naruto's best friend; there was no doubt about that. She could always count on those delicious noodles as they brought a smile to her gorgeous face. They were reliable unlike people, who couldn't be counted upon. She sucked up several bowls of ramen before heading out.
"I Guess, it's time," she thought, smiling to herself. Her old team could always make her smile. They knew how to make her laugh; however, they also knew how to hurt her. That was a normal part of every relationship, but sometimes, it was the desires for those relationships that were hurtful. Like most people, she desired a relationship. Like most people, she found being alone to be depressing.
She made her way to the bridge, where she met them. Sure, she liked being with them; however, it wasn't like she didn't see them on the regular bases. Naruto didn't know what Sakura was thinking, considering she saw the kunoichi almost everyday. Sakura was her best friend; she was the one Naruto went to, when she needed something. She wasn't going to go to Sasuke, unless it was training. He wasn't the type to spill your guts to. His advice would be to shut up and suck it up.
When she made it to the bridge, Sakura was trying to argue with Sasuke, who wasn't paying attention to her. His attention was elsewhere. "Hey, guys!" Naruto greeted.
"Hey, Naruto," Sakura greeted with a smile.
"Hn," Sasuke responded, his eyes followed her.
"Geez, teme, cheer up!" Naruto grinned, rubbing her noise. She thwacked him in the shoulder.
"I am, dobe," he answered. It would do him no good to argue with the girl.
She narrowed her eyes at him, before turning her attention to Sakura. "How long do you think we going to have to wait for Kakashi this time?" Naruto asked.
"Probably, no earlier than two hours," Sakura replied, annoyed. It was clear that she hated waiting for that man, but they waited for him anyway. "I think we should tell him the meet time is two hours earlier then it really is."
Naruto smiled, "we should." There was something about that man that made Naruto want to pull out her hair. He had this weird way about him that Naruto could never figure out. Why was he always late? What was with the stupid excuses?
"What you think, Sasuke?" Sakura asked, trying to get someone out of that Uchiha. "Hn," he answered.
Sakura gave up on the raven and turned her attention to Naruto, who deep in thought about a certain silver haired man. "Naruto, what's up?"
Whenever Naruto thought about Kakashi, a mixture of depression and happiness ran through her. She was aware of her feelings for the man, but she wasn't aware how deep they ran. However, she wouldn't let herself think about any feelings she may have, because it wasn't ever going to happen. "Nothing, why you ask?" Naruto answered, rocking upon her position on the railing of the bridge.
"I don't know. You just seemed out of it." Sakura said, leaning against the railing next to her. "Are you sure everything is okay?"
Naruto rocked back. "Nothing." She wasn't in the mood to talk about that man. It would be too painful. She focused on something else, even if her heart didn't want to. I am fine, Sakura."
"Is it him?"
Naruto turned to Sakura. "Wait… what? Who and what are you taking about?" Her heart started to race, wondering if she was really that readable.
"You know who," Sakura answered. "It isn't too hard to guess."
"Well, I don't." Naruto scratched her head.
"Sakura, if you are waiting for her to guess right, the very man you are talking about will show himself in two hours," Sasuke answered, plainly.
"True," Sakura muttered.
"Who are you taking about?" Naruto asked.
Sakura throw her hands up in the air. "You know who!" She shook his head, while Sasuke let out a deep breath. "Kakashi!"
She blinked. "Um, okay, I am lost now. What are we talking about?" Naruto jumped off of the railing.
"You like him!"
"I hope so. He is our Sensei," Naruto replied, fixing her clothes.
"No, dobe, she means in a romantic way," Sasuke snapped. It seemed like he was in a bad mood, but he was always in a bad mood.
Naruto turned bright pink. "…" No, or rather, I don't want to.
"C'mon, Naruto, it's obvious. You light up, when he's around. You become, if it's possible, louder and more talkative." Sakura grabbed Naruto by the shoulder and pulled her toward her.
"I don't live him like that!" Naruto squawked. "Besides, we know his type: easy, beautiful, slutty women. We know I am none of those!" The blonde pulled away from Sakura with a heavy heart. She wished Kakashi wanted a girl like her, but that would include emotions. That man didn't want emotions or connections, which is what hookers gave him. They let him release without stings.
"Naruto, you are so much better than that!" Sakura pulled the blonde into a hug.
"Yea, yea," the blonde waved it off.
Sasuke shifted against the post; is was clear he didn't like the direction of this conversation for multiple reasons.
"I know how painful it is to be in love with someone that you had no chance in," Sakura commented, trying to be helpful.
"Sakura," Naruto took a deep breath, "I don't know what you are talking. I am fine. There is nothing wrong." Denial was her best friend; it was too depressing to think about him and a relationship that could never happen. Besides, she spent too much time thinking about him. It was always on her mind.
"C'mon! Just admit it. You like him," Sakura whined.
"Sakura, shut-up, you're annoying," Sasuke snapped.
"Yea, don't make me Rasengan your ass!" Naruto threatened in a not threatening way. It was impossible for the girl to be threatening.
"Fine," Sakura pouted.
Naruto shook her head. "I am going. Tell Sensei I have things to do." For once in her life, she was glad that Kakashi was late.
"But, but-" Sakura started.
"Sakura, just shut-up and let her go." Sasuke stood up from his spot at the post and took a few steps toward the girls. Sakura glanced to him, before looking away.
"Thanks, teme," Naruto smiled, before leaving. She had too many things on her mind to see him again.
––––
Naruto had received notice that Tsunade wanted to talk to her. She wasn't sure why, but she was sure it wasn't anything bad. If it was, Tsunade would have chased the blonde down herself. There was no doubt about that. Tsunade wasn't known for her calmness; her anger was widely known and often heard about.
Hopefully, it's a mission! The loud mouth kunoichi kicked open the door to Tsunade's office (or a prison). Tsunade was sitting behind her large desk working on paperwork. Sasuke was leaning against the wall by the window, looking out. Naruto was sensed a few Anbu stationed outside the office.
"Geez, I thought I was special, Obaa-chan!" Naruto whined. She put on a fake frown and approached the Hokage.
"Don't call me that brat!" Tsunade yelled throwing an empty bottle of sake at the younger blonde, who dodged. The bottle smashed against wall near Sasuke, who ducked as not to be hit by the broken glasses.
"Don't throw things!" Naruto demanded with a smile. "So what you want?"
"Dobe, that isn't the way you are suppose to talk the Hokage?" Sasuke snorted. He moved closer to the Hokage's desk, but he kept away from Naruto, who was likely to hit him. She wasn't violent per se, but rather, she wasn't gentle.
"You called, Hokage," Naruto bowed. She glanced toward Sasuke and whispered, "there, is that better, teme?" Sasuke glared, but Naruto just grinned.
"You two stop it!" Tsunade ordered. "I am not a babysitter!" They both shut-up. "I am taking you two with me to the Hokage Summit."
"Really?" Naruto asked. Tsunade nodded. "Dattebayo!" she cheered. This could be beneficial to her goal of being a hokage. Plus, it would get her away from the village, which might do her some good. She needed to get her mind off of Kakashi.
"Good, you all know what the Hokage summit it. As before, we are only allowed to bring two body guards. You are my two," Tsunade explained.
"When we leave?" Sasuke asked.
––––
Sasuke took off, but before Naruto could leave, Tsunade had called to her. Naruto walked back confused to why. She didn't remember doing any pranks, but that didn't mean she was innocent. There were times that Naruto had forgotten that she had pulled a prank, because she was too busy planning her next prank.
"Obaa-chan?" Naruto wasn't sure what this was about, but she didn't like the look on Tsunade's face. She looked upset.
"Stop calling me that!" Tsunade hissed, throwing a pen at the younger blonde. Considering she didn't have anything to write with, she put the paperwork away, and now, she could turn her fill attention on Naruto. "Are you okay?" she asked.
"Yea, I am fine," Naruto answered. Do I look bad? "Why you ask?"
"You just seem out of it." Tsunade leaned forward in her seat, folding her arms under her chin.
"Just overcooked my ramen," Naruto lied. She didn't feel like explaining.
"I didn't know that was possible for you," Tsunade commented.
"Anything is possible," Naruto explained. "Is there more or can I go?"
Tsunade went silent for a few seconds, wondering what to say. "Naruto, you should just tell him."
Naruto stared at Tsunade. "Tell who what?"
"Tell Kakashi how you feel. It will feel like a weight have been lifted off your chest. It's bad for you to keep things in," Tsunade explained. She got up from her seat and made her way toward Naruto.
"What?"
"Tell him you love him. I can see how badly it is effecting you," the Godaime commented.
Naruto looked at Tsunade like she was crazy. "I don't love him or anyone!"
"Naruto," Tsunade stared at the girl. She knew it was pointless to fight with this girl, who was too afraid to admit to herself that she love the man.
––––
Naruto found herself wondering around the village streets, trying to figure what Tsunade was getting out. Did that woman know something that she didn't. She knew she liked her Sensei, but how far did it go? Was it really love? How could she love a man she barely knew? Kakashi was a very private person, never letting anyone in. He didn't talk about himself unusually, and on some rare occasion that he did, it was only for a few seconds. There weren't many.
"Yo." A voice came up from behind her.
Hiding her surprise, she turned around to come face to face with the man, who haunted her thoughts. "You were late the other day!" She found it hard to glare at him.
"Something came up."
"Something always comes up!" Naruto commented, finding herself very much annoyed. "Seriously."
Kakashi rubbed his head. "Well."
"I haven't seen you around lately. Missions?" Why she hadn't seen him lately? It was both a blessing and a curse
"Yea," he responded. His stance was weird.
"Tsunade asked Sasuke and I to go with her to the Kage Summit in a few days! Can't wait!" She was grinning ear to ear, but at the same time, she wasn't happy. She wanted to go to get away from him; however, she didn't want to leave him.
It took him a few seconds to answer. "That's great."
"Well, I have to go, Kakashi! See you later!" She responded. Naruto had to get out there or else she wouldn't know what she would do. She disappeared.
–––––
Naruto and Iruka were sitting on the Yondaime Hokage's head talking before she had to take off for the summit. They hadn't talk much lately, because they both were very busy. It wasn't to be unexpected with what they did for a living. "This should be interesting," Naruto admitted.
Iruka looked at her strangely. "I expected a bigger response from you."
Naruto looked away. "Don't get me wrong. I am overjoyed to be going, but I doubt they want an out-of-control ninja there. So I am keeping it in!" She took a deep breath.
"Naruto," he muttered, not sure of what to say. "Is there something wrong?"
She turned to him. "I am fine." He looked like he didn't believe her. "Nothing's wrong!" She stressed.
"You know you can tell me anything, right?" he asked. She knew she could tell him anything, but that didn't mean she could. "Naruto."
She stared off in silence. It stayed that way for the next few minutes as they waited for the other to talk. "I don't know how to explain it."
Iruka moved closer to the blonde. "Just try and explain it."
"When I am around him, my heart beats fast. I feel weird." She shook his head.
Iruka smiled. He knew her well enough to know she liked someone, but he didn't have a clue to who. He knew who liked her, which wasn't hard. There were men, who had their eyes on Naruto. None of them, he liked, but he wasn't going to stand in her way, if they made her happy. "It is normal."
"I think I like him more then like like." She put her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. "Which makes it hurt more."
"What do you mean?"
"It's never going to happen." She got to her knees and hid her face in his shoulder. She couldn't see his face, but she wanted it that way. The face was the window to the soul. "I can't stop thinking about him, the guy that I can never have." Tears started.
"Naruto," he muttered, wrapping his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his embrace. "Why do you say that?"
She buried her face into his chest. "Why would he want me?"
Iruka felt his anger raise. He hated when she talked like this, but he hated him, whoever he was, more. How dare someone do that to Naruto? "Naruto, how can you say that?" She didn't answer, considering she only had her made up reasons. "Who is this man? Who is doing this to you?"
She shook her head, wondering if she should answer. She knew how they disliked each other. Iruka disapproved of him in general, because he had no interest in anything. He didn't care about anything or anyone, which was something that Iruka couldn't stand. Kakashi had no real reason to dislike Iruka, but that didn't stop him from disliking him. Naruto, of curse, knew all of this. "Kakashi," she muttered.
Iruka's grip tightened. He was speechless.
"He wouldn't like someone like me!" She wasn't aware of what he was thinking or how he was going to kill that man.
"Naruto, stop it," Iruka said, separating himself from her. "Don't think that way!" He shook his head as he paced around the Yondaime's head. "First of all, he is the one who isn't good enough. Two, he would be a fool not to like you."
Naruto stared at him, and after awhile, she realized he was right…well after a hour long lecture. She didn't know if she agreed with him, because he was right, or because she just wanted to shut him up. She told herself it was the first choice. She gave him a hug, before leaving. She had to meet up with Hokage and Sasuke.
––––
Naruto took a deep breath, wondering how Tsunade handle these people. She knew she would have Rasengan these people already, but that was just her. After awhile, she started to block them out. Her glance wondered around the room, looking at the other guards. She was sizing them up, wondering who could be trouble if a fight were to break out. There was no doubt that she could beat any of these guards, but it was good to know one's enemy.
She took a deep breath, sensing all their chakra level. There was no doubt that Naruto and Sasuke had the highest levels, but chakra didn't mean anything. Lee was an example of that. He didn't have any chakra, but that didn't mean he was weak. It was quite the opposite. Lee could kick anyone ass.
Her eyes rested on Sasuke, who seemed to be in an angry mood….when wasn't he in an angry mood? He must have felt her glance, because his eyes met her. If she didn't know any better, he was smiling at her. She couldn't believe her eyes as he turned back to the crowd. Did that really happen? It wasn't like she hadn't seen him smile before, but it usually followed after an insult or a battle. This was neither of those.
She didn't know what to think anymore. It was getting annoying. She didn't want this confusion anymore. I don't know what I'm going to do! She shook her head again. Her eyes wondered around the room, trying to get her mind on something else.
Though she didn't want it this way, she got her wish. In a matter of second, the Kage Summit was under attack. They were outnumbered, but that didn't mean they were out matched. In fact, it was the opposite.
Naruto blasted the nearest enemy with her world famous Rasengan. She swung up her leg, targeting a new enemy. Where are they all coming from? She didn't matter that she took down ten enemies, because ten more replaced the fallen men. It was beginning to annoy her, but she wasn't the only one having this problems. It seemed like all the guards were having this problem.
She called out to Sasuke, noticing something, and started to cut through the crowd. She set off another Rasengan on a different target. Naruto started to feel the exhaustion run through her body, but that wasn't going to stop her. She hurried through the crowd, not paying attention to her surrounding. Before she knew what had happened, everything turned black, and the world as she knew had disappeared.
––––
When the blonde came to, she was in a white room of some kind. It was assumed that the battle was over and she was safe. She wasn't sure what really happened, but she could guess. She must had let her guard down and was attacked, which annoyed her. She wasn't some weakling to be knocked out so easy. She sat up only to see Tsunade and Gaara planning something. Whatever it was, it was evil.
Both Tsunade and Gaara stared at Naruto. "I have a plan," she said, looking over the injured blonde. Naruto wasn't too badly injured, but she had some lacerations.
Naruto's head was pounding. "Um, okay, but we talk about what happen to me first?" She asked.
"But I have a plan!" Tsunade explained as Naruto gave her the look. "I don't know how it happened, but someone was able to get pass your senses and knock you out. You are fine, but you have a concussion."
"So what is why my head hurts like a bitch," Naruto reasoned, rubbering the bump on her head. "How long have you been out?"
"A few days."
"NO!" Naruto yelled, making Gaara and Tsunade cover their ears. "Why didn't you wake me! I was your guard!" Naruto went off into her own little world. Tsunade slapped Naruto outside the head, knocking her back to her senses. "HELLO, CONCUSSION!" she yelled, making Gaara and Tsunade over their ears again.
Tsunade shook her head. "You slipped into a small coma, which means you couldn't have been waken up, gaki!"
"Oh," Naruto uttered. "So what happened after that?"
"Well, let just say, it ended quickly." The hokage smiled as Gaara looked away. "Gaara and Sasuke took care of them in the must painful way. I found myself laughing my ass off; however, no one else found it funny." She folded her arms across her body. "Don't freak out about not being to guard me. Sure, it was your job, gaki, but I can take care of myself. I am the hokage after all; plus, Sasuke knew what he was doing."
Naruto looked down at her hands; her head was still pounding. It was hard to think, when she was in that much pain. "True."
"Any ways, Gaara and I-" Tsunade started.
"It was mostly her. I was forced to listen," the Kazekage interjected. He stared out the window of the room. It was clear he didn't want any part of this.
Tsunade continued. "Came up with a perfect plan."
"Um, okay, what?" she asked, trying to forget her headache, but it didn't seem possible at the time.
"It's quite visible Kakashi likes you! Gaara and I came up with a plan for him to admit it!"
"I repeat," Gaara interjected, "I had no put in this plan. It was all the work of that crazy woman." He directed his voice to Tsunade, who narrowed her eyes at him.
Naruto must have heard wrong, and Tsunade must have been crazy, or high, or both. "How many times do I have to tell you? He doesn't like me. I know the kind of women he brings home and I am not like them! He would never want to be with me." She would have shook her head, but it would have made her head hurt more.
Tsunade sat down next to her as Gaara continued to look out the window. His body was tense. "Gaki, shut-up, and listen. This plan that we-"
"That you," Gaara interjected, looking at the window.
"That I came up with, will show you how much he likes you!"
Naruto placed her head into her hands. "He doesn't."
Tsunade pretended she didn't heard her, and went off into her plan. When they were back to Konoha (now that the Kage Summit ended), Naruto was going to pretend to be in a coma and remain in a coma until Kakashi admitted that he loved her. It sounded like a good idea that was if he truly loved her, but according to Naruto, he didn't. "Of course, he does."
Naruto snorted. "He loves random hook ups not me."
"You trust me, right?" Tsunade asked.
"Yes." She wasn't sure of, if she trusted him with her heart.
"Everything will be fine."
––––
No one was to know that she was just pretending. Only Tsunade, Iruka, and key hospital staff knew, because the less who knew the better. She hated that Sasuke and Sakura were worried about her, but she had no choice. They wouldn't approve of this plan, or rather, Sasuke wouldn't approve of this stupid plan; however, she doubted that even she approved of it. She only did it, because Tsunade ordered her to.
The only plus side to this plan was that she was still able to go out in ANBU gear. She could watch her friends from afar, but it always left a bad taste in her mouth. They were so worried about her, and that fact burned her.
What is Sakura doing? Naruto followed her to Kakashi's apartment. Sakura knocked and knocked, but there was no answered. She knew he was home, but she didn't want to know what Kakashi was doing in there. Sakura waited there for a hour before he let her in. Naruto wanted to know why, but she had to get back to the hospital. Tsunade didn't like Naruto to stay away for too long, considering it could blow her cover.
–––
Naruto entered her hospital room from the window, only to find Tsunade glaring at her. "What?" She asked, taking off her equipment.
"Sakura went to get Kakashi and you are dirty! A patient can't be dirty!" she explained, pushing Naruto into the wash room.
"So that's why she waited for an hour outside his windows."
"Waited for an hour? What was Hatake doing?"
"Maybe, the question is who is he doing," Naruto informed Tsunade as she felt sick. She couldn't deal with this. It was too much.
Tsunade hated Naruto's negative attitude, more than her over the top positive attitude, and dumped ice cold water on her head.
"AH, THAT'S COLD, OBAA-CHAN!" Her scream would have flown out of the room, but Tsunade thought it would be best to sound proof this room, as this was Naruto's normal volume. A screaming Naruto would end Tsunade's little plan.
"Well, you're dirty!" Tsunade said, forcing Naruto into the hospital dress (and fake battle scars) and into bed. "All better. Now, pretend to be dead. Hatake is coming down the hallway. I can sense his chakra." She smiled. Her plan was falling into place.
Naruto laid back into bed and pulled the covers over her. She placed her arms flat against the bed and closed her eyes. Without her sense of sight, her hearing got better, which was normal. When you cut out one sense, the other senses pick up. Even though she couldn't see Tsunade, Naruto knew she was smiling.
The door opened to reveal Kakashi. Tsunade leaning against the back wall looking over Naruto. There were fake tears in her eyes. "Hello, Kakashi," she greeted.
"Hello, Hokage," he greeted.
Naruto could hear his footsteps, and every step he took, she felt her heart jump. She could sense his eye over her. She would hear his breath stop, and it took away hers.
"The guy who did this is already died. Lets just say Gaara and Sasuke weren't too happy when some missing shinobi wounded her." Naruto could tell that Tsunade was having fun toying with her. "Tell her you love her, you idiot."
At that moment, Naruto's heart stop. She wanted to know his answer, but at the same time, she was worried. If he didn't, her heart would be broken, and she didn't know, if she could handle that.
"What?" His surprise was present in his voice.
"Everyone knows you love her, damn it! It's visible in your eye! I can see how much you love her! Tell her damn it!"
Naruto's heart raced.
"Even if that is true. That won't help her now," Kakashi said being stoic.
"DAMN IT, Kakashi. I order you to tell her!"
"I will be only telling her a lie. You should know better than that, Hokage. Emotions aren't fitting for a Shinobi," he said.
She wanted to cry. She wanted to get up from his bed and run away, but if she were to do that now, she would mess up everything…Didn't matter now, though. She tried to control her breathing, but it was getting out of hand.
"Mark my words, Kakashi, I know you love her. Horrible things will happen if you don't tell her the truth!" She hissed. Her voice was deadly and it made Naruto, who was having a break down, flinch.
"I am telling the truth. She's my student and I care for her as my Student. Just like Sasuke and Sakura."
"DAMN IT! WHY ARE YOU DENYING IT!"
Naruto wanted to cry. She wanted to run away and hid. She never wanted to be seen again, because she didn't know if her heart would ever recover.
The slamming door, signaling Tsunade leaving, didn't affect Naruto. She wasn't sure, if Kakashi was still in the room. Her heart was broken, and nothing else mattered. Nothing at all. She promised herself she would get over it, but she didn't believed herself.
––––
Naruto sitting up in bed eating a bowl of ramen, but it wouldn't cure a broken heart. She ate slowly as her mind wondered. Kakashi wasn't visiting like he use to, but she didn't know if that was a good or bad thing. If he kept visiting, it would show that he care, but if he kept his distance, it would give her heart a change to heal.
The door opened to reveal Tsunade. "Hello, Gaki."
"Can I go now?" Naruto asked, finishing her ramen. There was no point of her being here. She wasn't sick, and the plan was over. She had no reason to be here.
"No, because Kakashi is going to come around!" Tsunade reasoned.
Naruto snorted. "When pigs fly. Both he and I told you that he doesn't like me, so why continue this plan?" She set the bowl down and folded her arms.
"He loves you!"
Naruto shook her head. "NO, HE DOESN'T." She jumped out of bed and walked passed Tsunade to the closet. She rested her head against the cold hard wood. "He doesn't, and I don't want to torture myself anymore. Can I please just go?" She didn't want to hurt her friends anymore. She had enough of this painful prank.
"Naruto," Tsunade muttered. She didn't know what to say and it pained her to know that she was the reason why Naruto was in so much pain….It wasn't completely her fault, but she wasn't without fault.
––––
Naruto had wondered how anyone would mistake her as being in a coma. She had a nice tan color. She was in perfect shape and it looked like she has been working out (indeed, she had been). Not a common thing for someone, who was suppose to be in a coma.
Suddenly, she froze. She felt his chakra enter the hospital, and she knew he was heading to her room. When he entered the room, her heartbeat was fast and she was blushing. He reached for her hand, causing her to blush harder.
"Naruto,…Naruto, I don't know if you can hear me or not. Everyone misses you. They wanted their loud mouth back," he paused. "I don't know how to tell you this."
Naruto was starting to freak out, not sure of what was going on. He had her hand in his hand, and she could feel the heat from his body. It warmed her up, but it confused her. What was he trying to tell her? He held her hand like he loved her, but that wasn't the case. He already told her, or rather, Tsunade that he didn't love her. If he was retelling her this, she didn't believe she could take it.
"I…I love you. I have been in love with you for some time now. I tried to keep my distance. I try to make myself forget you, but I can't. You see, student/Sensei relations are frowned upon. No one needed that," he paused, taking in a deep breath. "I need you."
Did he just tell me he loved me? What is going now. She opened her eyes to see Kakashi, who had closed his eyes. He looked like he went through the wash. It sadden her to see him like this, but yet, she was happy. Happy. She hadn't felt this way in a very long time. He really did love her…Tsunade was right….was the world coming to an end? Why did he deny it in the first place?
Kakashi tried to pull away, but her hand tighten around his. He turned to face Naruto, only to find her looking at him with a smile on her face. "Naruto?"
Now, it was her turn to tell him that she loved him. "I…I love you, too," she whispered, still flushed. She was unsure of the next step. She had no clue of what was going to happen next.
Kakashi, in an instance, was sitting next to her. Making her flush harder, he gently placed his hands on her face, turning her to him. She had a hard time looking into his eye without turning red. It didn't help that she was already red. He took down his mask, shocking her. She always wondered why he hid his face, and she came to the idea that he was ashamed of his face. His face wasn't something to be ashamed; it was beautiful.
If it was possible, she turned redder as he captured her lips with his. "I love you," he said. "I love you."
"I love you, too." She drove into his arms, shocking herself. She never expected to be with comfortable with him, but she was comfortable with him. She trusted him for some unknown reason. She couldn't tell you why, considering what she felt before.
He run his hand through his hair. "So? How did you wake up at the same time I told you I love you?" he asked, eyeing her.
She pulled out of his embrace and looked away. What should I tell him? She didn't want him to be angry with her "…I was never in a coma…" she whispered.
"What?"
Naruto looked out the window. "I did get hurt and stuff. I was only out for a couple days… When I came to, Tsunade and Gaara was talking about something by my bed side…," she paused. Would the truth turn him away? "Tsunade had an evil look in her eye as did Gaara. 'I have a plan,' she says. I was like 'um okay, what?' 'It is quite visible Kakashi likes you! Gaara and I came up with a plan for him to admit it!' I kept telling them that you would never like me. I know the kind of women you bring home and I am not like them! 'He would never want to be with me.' I told them." It hurt to think about it. She didn't want to think about his past 'love' life.
Kakashi flinched. He pulled her to him and kissed her passively. "I want you and only you. I don't want anyone else."
"I know that now. It was a prank. They told me they wanted me to pretend to be in a coma and they hoped that you would admit to me then, when you feared that I was gone forever. I heard everything that was said around me, but I wasn't allowed to wake up until you admitted it. I said you wouldn't ever, so there wouldn't be any reason for me to do so." She shook her head. She really didn't have any faith in him.
Kakashi reached for her hand and held it.
"I was going to give up, but then you came in here and told me you love me… I couldn't be more happy," she smiled. "I am sorry. I know this prank must have hurt you."
He kissed her again. "It did, but in the end, it turn out okay." He kissed her again. "Did you stay in bed the whole time?"
"Nope, I was on Anbu duty, when you weren't here. No one knew. I was given a new mask and name for the time being so no one would know." She smiled, remembering all the times, she watched him. It could be classified as stalking, but she wasn't going to go there. She got the man she wanted and that was all that she cared about.
"So who all knew about this?" he asked curious.
"Just Tsunade, Gaara, Iruka, and the medical Staff." Kakashi laughed. "What?" she asked, looking at him weird. She knew he was planning something, but she wasn't sure what. She knew it had to be bad.
"Payback."
"Wait….what?" She didn't like where he was going.
"You pulled a prank on me. It is only fair for me to get you back!"
"WAIT, NO! It wasn't my idea! Blame Tsunade and Gaara!" Kakashi wasn't big on prank, but that didn't mean he didn't pull pranks. It just meant when he did, it was ten times worse than anything you could think of.
"I think I will tell all of your friends about this and see what they think about you playing them." Kakashi smirked, pulling up his mask.
"You wouldn't! They would kill me for making them think I was dying!" There was no doubt they would kill her. She saw how worried they were.
"Payback for making me worry, Love," Kakashi grinned.
"NO!" And the chase was on. Kakashi disappeared, but Naruto wasn't too far behind. She would chase him until the end of the earth to make sure he didn't tell on her! They would kill her for making them worry. This sucks! It wasn't even my idea! She would need popcorn to throw at him, and then the birds would attack him. That would be prefect revenge, and then she would make him pay for Ramen. She would worry about that ramen, because she had to find him first.
The end
Hoped you like it!
