Musical Hands(Kakashi x Fem Naruto)

twelve

As soon as Hinata had left the house, Naruto had fled into the forest and found a reasonable tree to lay her anger on. Naruto had no idea how long she had been outside, but she was damn frustrated.

"Next time..." Naruto swore as she practised her katas on the wounded tree. "Next time I'm going to kill the drunken bastard!" she growled and threw her hits harder and harder till her hands bleed.

Naruto ignored the pain and continued to release her frustration. The image of that man kept appearing in her mind with those eyes filled of dangerous lust. This made Naruto angrier and brought her fist back.

Unknowingly, overpowering her punch with chakra and threw her fist towards the tree with a fierce roar. Naruto closed her eyes when her fist was stopped just inches from hitting the tree and sobbed as a strong arm encased around her body. Turning her into their chest and held her tightly. "I'm so weak, Kakashi." she cried into the copy-nin's chest.

"Sshh, you're not weak, Narumi. You're human." Kakashi stroked her hair and frowned as he looked to the damage to the tree.

If he hadn't stopped her punch with the damages to her hand, she would've broken her fingers. It was a good thing that he came looking for her and looked in the forest behind her home when he couldn't sense her chakra in the house.

Kakashi hugged the girl tighter before pulling back and cupping her face. What he saw made him livid. Her left cheek was red and swollen. "Who did this to you?" he voiced coldly as he caressed her hot cheek.

Narumi flinched at Kakashi's light touches and whimpered a little. "It's nothing, Kakashi."

when Narumi heard him growl dangerously, she knew he didn't like her answer. "Please, leave this alone, Kakashi. Please." She whispered as she looked up at him with pleading blue eyes.

Kakashi growled again, yet he nuzzled into her cheek gently and rubbed her sides to let her know that he would let this go, just this once. For her.

Narumi sighed in relief and tilted her neck a bit as Kakashi kept tickling her abused cheek. "Thank you, Kakashi. Thank you."

Kakashi noticed how she bared her neck to him just a little and resisted the urge to bite her. She was submitting to him unconsciously and Kakashi found this dangerous. Kakashi moved his hands from her side to her middle and felt her tense and hiss in displeasure. Kakashi frowned and nuzzled her to look at him. He saw a guilty look on her face and whispered soothingly. "Let me see, Narumi."

Narumi looked away in shame and lowered her guard. For some reason, she couldn't deny her former-teacher and team leader.

Kakashi took that as his cue and unbuttoned her blouse just enough for him to see her middle.

He growled more ferociously when he noticed the large blemish on her middle. When she flinched away from him, Kakashi hummed gently and kissed her crown. "I'm not mad at you, Narumi. I'm not mad." She relaxed against him with Kakashi re-buttoning her shirt and wrapped his arms around her shoulders gently. "I'm not mad." He whispered more tenderly.

Kakashi..." Narumi whispered and looked up at Kakashi. "My hands hurt." She blushed lightly in embarrassment.

Kakashi chuckled and had her sit down at the base of a tree as he pulled out a first-aid kit. "I know a basic healing jutsu to help with the swelling on your cheek. You want to hide this from Kira-san, I presume." He looked to her as she nodded. "Then let me heal up your cheek first, okay?" he grabbed a healing cream to help speed up the process and gently as he could, smeared some on her cheek.

Narumi winced, but made no noise of pain. "Thank you for everything, Kakashi."

"Well, what are friends for?" Kakashi muttered as he weaved a few handsigns and began to heal the swelling of her cheek. "Is this why you told Hinata to tell me you didn't want to meet? Because of this?"
