Fragile Strength (Kakashi x oc)

S2 Chapter 10: Forget it

(5 months later)

Kasuno's P.O.V.
"Kasuno-chan? Kasuno-chan? Please talk to me." I could hear Kakashi's voice just outside the door but I ignored it, covering myself with the blanket.

"Hatake Kasuno. You know I could just break this door."

"Leave, ok?" I bit my lips, trying to sound tougher "You said you were leaving. Just leave."

"How could I...." he softly mutter then the next second, a loud bang echoed through the room. I quickly sat up, shocked and disoriented.

"D-Did you just...break the door...."

He walked over the scattered wood on the floor "You left me no choice."

I don't know why I'm being so emotional like this but looking at him brought tears to my eyes "You said you were leaving! Why are you still here! You're going to pay for that door! Why'd you break it! I hate you!"

"You hate me? Kasuno-chan, you shouldn't say that so lightly." He sat at the foot of the bed and I moved away from him, feeling really upset.

He sigh "I don't want to leave while you're mad at me. But if you really don't want to see me, that's okay."

He stood up and walked closer, but as he moves towards me, I pushed myself back until I hit the headboard.

"Don't come." I wiped my tears, not wanting him to see me cry "Leave already."

I winched as he reached out and caresses my cheeks, placing a soft kiss at my forehead "Kasuno-chan....I'll be back."

I sat there in guilt as he turn around and walk towards the door. What am I doing? Why am I being so selfish? I don't want him to go like this....

I shut my eyes tightly as I called out to him "How long will you be gone for?!" I sobbed "You're always gone! I know you're trying to help me! I know you're desperately looking for a way to cure me! But you're never here with me and I....I don't care! I just want to be with you!"

I hugged my knees and try to hold my sobs in. It's been months since we got married and all these time, he's been desperately going on missions and running around trying to find people who could break my curse and cure my disease.

But for me, I'd rather spend the little time I have left next to him. W-What if there's no cure at all....I just want to peacefully live with him now.

"Kasuno-chan?"

I heard his footsteps walking towards me and I felt even more ashamed to raise my face and look at him. I know he's working hard for me yet still...I can't help but to feel resentful. I don't want my disease to control the way we live.

"Kasuno-chan. Look at me."

"I...I'm sorry." I mutter, hugging my legs and burying my face between my arms "Y-You could go."

"I can't leave you crying like this."

"I thought you were going to leave...."

"I figured you wanted space. I was going to wait outside until you're ready to talk to me."

I lifted my head up to look at him. He looks so tired....how could I be this selfish and only think about what I want.

I let my tears fall as I spread my arms. With no words, as if he could read my mind, he smiled and pulled me in for a hug. His embrace is so warm. I want to stay like this forever.

"Sorry, I made you upset."

I rest my head on his shoulder "I love you."

He chuckled "Didn't you say you hated me? I got really hurt Kasuno-chan~"
