Icha Icha Paradise (KakaIru:Yaoi Fanfic)

Entry 12

Hatake Katoka's POV

The careless expression of turmoil.
The face of confusion, his looks is indeed an open book, it reveals his mind who's in constant spinning around circles.

Iruka-sensei look at the back of that guy who just left him.

Awhile, they both went inside the infirmary
because Iruka-sensei needed to change clothes.

And from the next room which was luckily vacant, I only got to listen to their short conversation.

That Kakashi...
His advances were subtle.
He's just making Iruka-sensei dislike him.

I followed Kakashi all the way from the Academy through here in one of the training grounds.

Where is this guy heading?

He's walking leisurely while reading an orange book, and sometimes he would murmur something vague..

" How to approach properly? "

" Did I do a mistake... now... hmm"

" This is... kind of ..troublin'"

I almost face palm from hearing such childish lines.

How old is this guy?!
I bet he's in his early thirties or close...

But how he thinks about such matter,
I'm confident he's clearly talking to himself about his feelings for Iruka-sensei or to the plot story of the book?

I sighed and wondered but is this guy possibly innocent in the field of relationships and love?

If only I accomplish my plan to see his memories that night where Naruto shielded for him.
Then I wouldn't be critically thinking about this now and simply understand why he's like that...tsk.

Based from the people around, he's likely reputed as a skillful shinobi------- did he spend all his life just being a ninja!? Impossible..

In my opinion, he is a actually a stunning guy considering his height, stance and appearance although a mask is covering his face but his hair is of a unique and noticeable color, a blinding white.. just like his father..

There's no way this guy isn't popular with the ladies. Hmmp.

So why not advance properly with Iruka-sensei?

I want to tell him that it's all fine because Iruka- sensei has feelings for him too.
But of course, I'm in all possible no position to say such things.....

Immersed in my thoughts as carefully and
stealthily, I jumped through the trees, he's been carefree in walking until------------realization hit me!

Could... he be luring me to a more closer area. Then must he know that I'm following him.

And without much thought, I prepared my kunai as I wws about to thrust forth but before I could left the
branch.

'' Earth style: Wavy Mud!"

My balance has shook and instead of a forward attack, I inevitably jumped and slid away from him,

" Not bad. "
I complimented.
As expected of Sakumo-san's son.

'' Did you figure out from the start that I'm tailing you?"
I added,

" Pakkun! "
Kakashi called out and a dog came out from the bushes.

" Yes. You may be skillful enough to hide your presence towards the sense of a ninja completely but a nin-dog wouldn't be fooled easily."

'' Is that so... "

That nin-dog...tsk!
I'm not confident enough to spar with him through taijutsu. I don't use ninjutsu as well that's why, I'm doing surprise attacks. But now that the situation
came to this.
I need to hit him with my kunai!

" That kunai.... so you are that masked attacker a month ago."
Kakashi concluded. I hide my kunai again. There's no way to confront him now but with only taijutsu.

" Who are you? "

' I'm... a wanderer, Kakashi.."
I nonchalantly replied.

" You know me... what are you after?!"
He asked intimidatingly.

" Yare yare~ There's no way I wouldn't know a reputed shinobi as you, Kakashi Hatake~ "

' Im asking you. What are you really after?"

" To measure your... worth. "

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

" Ne, Sakumo-san! "

" I heard from your comrades that you are... leaving here tomorrow?"
The child Katoka with teary-eyed sincerely looked at Sakumo-san who 's busy packing some belongings.

" That's true Katoka. I was about to come to you after I pack my things. "
And the child burst to tears, Sakumo-san patted her head but the child only care to slumped it's crying face towards Sakumo-san's chest, it seeked comfort and Sakumo-san obliged to hugged
tightly.

" Hushhh... don 't cry. You've knew this day is gonna come. "

" But even so! "

" Katoka, you know my wife and I wanted a daughter. Thank you for being like a daughter to me and that's why, last reminder for you-----be a
good and kind kid, ok?"
But Katoka 's sobs are her only answered to the person whom he deemed as her own father.

" W-wont you take me with you.. ? To your village? I want to meet your son, Sakumo-san!!"

" Aiyah! I'd gladly take you to Konoha if I could Katoka but for now... you belong here. You must protect the people in this village. "

" But Sakumo-san!!"

"Katoka, You're being stubborn again.."

" Will you come back for me.... ? "
Katoka asked pleading. And Sakumo-san flinched then smiled with a clear distinction ofsadness.

" That is... something I can 't promise. I'm sorry Katoka."

Katoka felt a strong resolve for the first time and said,

" Then Sakumo-san! I'll surely come to your village one day!"

" Do you promise to come to Konoha once you're a full grown lady, Katoka? "

" Yes! I swear. Although I can 't promise that I'll turn out to be a fullgrown lady like you're expecting, Sakumo-san! "

" What are you saying, look properly. You're growing!heheh~ "

" I really do hope so. And so that I'll be able to as well meet your son, Kakashi!"

" I'll be waiting then little one. "

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"My worth? Just what are you saying?!"

" You're being earnest, Kakashi. To simplify my means, I only want a scratch of you!"

And I ran forward to attack.
