ANBU Naruto

•18•

After I met Haku, or the hunter-nin, I went to tell Kakashi. I walked upstairs and knocked on our (the whole team's) door. "Come in." I hear from inside. I walk inside and I see the proof that he's at least physically fit. Abs. After holding back my extremely powerful urge to nosebleed, I closed the door and sat in front of his futon.  He sat in front of me and made eye contact, waiting for me to begin. "Well, after my little tantrum last night, I went and trained until I passed out. I fell asleep in a tree." He was nodding along so I continued. "I woke up to someone about to shake me awake." This got him up and alert. "It turns out it was that fake hunter-nin from the other day. His name was Haku. He was collecting herbs for Zabuza. He didn't attack me so I didn't attack him. I'm pretty sure he believes I was unaware it was him. Well, long story short, we talked about how fighting for your precious people makes you stronger, which I believe by the way, and collecting herbs. After that, we both left." I finished.  It seemed to take him a few moments to process all of this. "Okay. And you told me all of this immediately after right?" He asked me. "Yeah. I'm exhausted anyways. I need to shower so we can eat breakfast and then I'm crashing." I responded. He then eye-smiled at me and nodded, causing my heart to skip a beat. I left and began my shower while thinking. 'I mean, I guess he is my sensei but... it's how I feel I guess. I mean, even if he only sees me as his student, which would be just my luck, it doesn't change how I feel... I ran all the way here just to tell him that and all I get is negative thoughts in return. Who am I kidding? Even if he reads porn in public and acts lazy all of the time, he's still a heart throb like Ke is to girls our age. I don't stand a chance in hell...' my thoughts whirled and after a few minutes of silent crying, I began to sob. My mind was going millions of miles a minute as I crumbled to the floor and hugged my knees with the shower running over me. The main thoughts were along the lines of 'I'll never deserve him,' and 'I've been alone this long, why would it change now?' I accidentally let out one of my sobs after a few minutes and someone came barging in. They ran over to me and came in front of me. I was still crying as they shut the water off, pulled me out of the tub, and wrapped a towel around me. They brought me into a hug and started whispering to me. "Hey, hey, Naruto, what's the matter?" It sounded distinctly like Kakashi but something stupid in my mind made me highly doubt he'd care if I were crying. I sobbed louder as they rubbed circles on my back. After a few minutes they spoke again. "Come on Naru, tell me what's wrong." They cooed. "I-I... I'minlovewithmysenseibutimnotgoodenoughandidontstandachanceinhellimsoscaredofbeingaloneandthathey'llonlyeverseemeashisstudent." I managed to spit out. The person comforting me seemed to freeze for a second before pulling me closer and speaking in a low voice in my ear. "You know Naru~chan, I'm in love with you too." The voice sent shivers up my spine. I froze and slowly looked upward, wide-eyed. "R-r-really?" I questioned warily, looking for any deceit in his visible eye. "Yes really Na-ru-to." He replied while looking me straight in the eyes. I slowly reached up for his mask, him watching my every movement, and just as slowly pulled it down. 'Damn he's beautiful.' I stared for a few moments and before I even registered I was moving, I smashed my lip against his. He seemed to freeze for a second before kissing back. After another few moments we pulled apart and just stared at each other before he pulled me tightly against his chest and used that wonderful low voice again. "You're mine Naru-chan and we won't ever be alone again." He spoke in my ear, his warm breath making my wet skin tingle. I hugged him tightly for a moment before he let go and stood up. "Finish your shower and I'll wait outside the bathroom for you. Then we can walk down together." He told me. "Alright." With that, I did as told and the night continued as planned.

(Sorry if you think this break down is out of nowhere but it needed to happen at some point. Why not now? And trust me, I know they can happen out of of nowhere all of the time. Also, next is battle of the bridge.
