A Ninja Heart (Naruto Fanfic,Completed)

Midnight Kiss

Kurama was looking at Narumi with an odd look,a smirk,she noticed. One of those evil grins,one that mocked her just as she awoke in her mind. 

It was strange..She knew she'd been in a battle,and that someone,or rather something,had hit her hard enough to almost make her collapse. She'd even coughed blood from that one hit,had felt an incredible pain in her chest.. And then.. 

"Sasuke." Narumi breathed out,noticing the glimpse in Kurama's eyes. 

"He came for you," Kurama smirked,his nine tails flowing around everywhere. "And he came alone.." Kurama mocked her,but she wasn't angry because of it.. She knew that Kurama liked to mock her. But she was concerned.. And she was also concerned about.. 

"Kakashi came,too. When he saw that Sasuke ran away with you,he ran directly after you." Kakashi..

That's whom she was concerned about. Him and Naruto..And even though deep in her heart she felt a concern for Sasuke,too,she denied it like al hell was loss. Kakashi and Sasuke with her,right now.. What the actual hell? 

-

Narumi awoke,panic filling her chest,thoughts of paranoia running through her mind,with a beating heart that made her breath hard. However..She just happened to awake in the arms of someone else. She knew the smell.. 

Without blinking or reacting,Narumi went still,her breathing in control. Turning around with desperation,Narumi let herself hug Kakashi Hatake so hard she could barely breath herself. 

He came for her..He came for her when their own village was in danger,when the village could die at any moment..And despite him being needed,he came for her. 

Kakashi had been surprised though,so he didn't hug her back directly,but she didn't care.. She was overwhelmed about Kakashi being here. 

"Narumi.." he whispered,trying to pull away,but at this moment,Narumi needed nothing more than Kakashi's affection. Nothing more than that. 

"Don't let go." she whispered,fear clearing out in her voice,her hands gripping on tighter to his neck. It's like she couldn't get away from him. "Just hold me,and don't let go.." 

And he did. 

His arms went around her waist and hugged her tightly,and for once,Narumi felt like she didn't have to hide her feelings. She felt like she could just pour her feelings out. She was always scared to get close to anyone,hated to be alone all the time and always longed for this special moment when she didn't have to feel alone. 

Narumi nuzzled in Kakashi's chest and looked up at him,her eyes burning with tears. She didn't really know why she suddenly began shedding tears,but looking at Kakashi lit up her heart.. 

"Why don't you want to be with me,Kakashi?" Narumi asked then,trying to find the answers in his eyes. But there was nothing written there,except for sadness and concern. 

"It's not that I don't want to," Kakashi whispered,carefully laying his hand on her face. Narumi could almost tremble from his touch.. "It's that I can't." 

"Because of our age..?" she asked,looking away. The pain in her heart,of hearing Kakashi say those words,were big enough to make the tears slip away from her eyes. Burning tears..Desired tears that have been hiding for so long. 

"Partly." 

"So you care about what other people say?" 

"No." he said stubbornly,turning her face towards him. "I care about you.." Then why..She wanted to ask. She had so many questions that she wanted to ask him,but none of them would come out when he was doing this to her. When he was looking at her in the eyes as if she was the only one he saw,touching her like she was something vulnerable,a treasure.
