Him & I (Kakashi x OC)

Chapter 28: Trauma

*Kakashi's POV*

She said she forgave me but since that day she hasn't  spoken to me, touched me or even looked  me.

It's been 3 weeks and she's still being distant and now angry to me.
I tried my best doing everything for her but she's given me the cold shoulder.

I had to let her be.

I felt so broken. I wanted things to go back to the way they were before. We felt more like house mates rather than husband and wife.

I was having breakfast as she walked out, "Where are you going Love?"  I asked,

"Don't call me that!" She said as she walked off.

What has gotten into her, I thought as I followed her.

"Don't follow me," she hissed back at me.

"Mai I'm just trying to protect you,"

"Why, you were never really good at it anyways!" She said as she walked off.

My heart sank. She never truly forgave me.

*Mai's POV*

As much as I wanted to move on, seeing him reminded me of everything.

I wanted to take Asami's word for it but I just couldn't. I hated this feeling. I was at constant war with myself.

Some days I'd like to just end it all, then there were days that I felt happy, my mind was all over the place.

In the past three weeks I have avoided eating with him. I'd sleep not wanting to touch him.

The sight of him disgusted me. Did I truly Love him or was it just me lusting over this man.

I shook off the thoughts as I made my way to the Konoha's Lord's Residence where my parents were residing.

"Mai, My darling girl!" My mother called out as I reached the front gates.

"Don't touch me!" I said as she stopped in front of me.

"Ohh," she said a sad look ran across her face.

I was let in and then I strode into the compound. I just wanted to get this over and done with as I made my way to the center of the house.

"How have you been my dear?" She asked.

"Alive!" I said as I gave her the side eye.

"Very well," she said as she walked off in front of me.

The rest of the day I was bombarded with questions. It was frustrating to be in the presence of these useless people.

Half the time I rolled my eyes.

"Mai, are you even listening to us?" My Mother asked sternly.

"No, I wasn't..." I said bluntly,

The room went silent.

"We're trying to help you. Whatever this act this is, it's not you, it's just-,"

"Help me???!!" I said as I laughed hysterically.

"We love you and-,"

"Love me??!!"

"You want to know something Mother, I've had it with all of you. How is your stupid love going to help me, you don't love me, if you truly love me you'd never let me marry that ass who couldn't save me. While I was stuck somewhere out of this world you or him couldn't help me!! None if you cared to help me! Now that I'm back all if a sudden you love me!!"

"Mai-,"

"No Mother I've had it with everything!!!"

"Especially you!! You never cared for me, I'm pretty sure you wished me dead-,"

I didn't even finish my sentence as her hand swung across my face.

"How dare you!!" She screamed.

"How dare I??"

"Does it hurt hearing the truth Mother?" I said as I stood up.

My Father sat in his chair as he gave me the coldest stare.

"When you've found yourself then come back for now you need to leave."

"GET OUT!" My mother yelled.

"Gladly," I said as I left.

How dare they lecture me on help and love when they couldn't do any of those for me and my child. The only person who truly cared was Asami.

I walked back and took a detour to the cemetery.

'Masaki Hatake'

He was beside Kakashi's Father.

I sat in front of his grave for a long time. Not saying anything just sitting down. I was startled out of my thoughts when I saw Kakashi taking out the old flowers and putting in new ones on each grave.

We didn't talk he just did what he did and paid his respects.

As he was leaving I spoke up;

"Now you want to act like you care!" I said.

I wanted him to hurt. I wanted him to feel the pain I felt.

"Mai, don't say that," he said as he left.

"Truth hurts doesn't it Kakashi. Putting flowers won't bring him back!"

"If you actually took your damn time to come find me, maybe then he'd be alive!" I said as I got up and walked off.

"Stop pretending to care!" I said as I reached the entrance about to walk out.

"Mai." Was all he said as I left him standing.

He needed to feel the pain!

As I was walking back to the house I ran into Shizune.

"Lady Mai, have you seen Lord Sixth?"

"Oh so it's Lord Sixth now?" I said with a laugh,

"I work with him and he is needed!" She said with an unamused tone.

"He's all yours Shizune, you can have your useless selves together!" I said as I walked off.

"Lady Mai, what's going on?" She questioned.

"While I was gone, all of a sudden you're working together??"

"Yeah, sure I'll pretend that's all that the two of you are doing!!" I said as I walked off.

They all are useless! I thought to myself as I made my way back home.

I saw through everyone and everything. They thought they could just waltz back into my life like that.

*Kakashi's POV*

I sat in front of Lord and Lady Tenzo as we were joined by Shizune and all our close friends to discuss Mai.

The trauma she was facing was clearly evident.

"We need to step in," Lady Tsunade said as we started to discuss...

I just wanted my wife back...
