Team 7: hate to love

Episode 40: tsunade is here to help!

Itami sighed, the team had left them alone a few minutes ago to let kakashi calm down after his breakdown... Which was now a usual thing... Jiriaya stayed around though... Trying to keeping kakashi company, but the silver haired jounin just stayed attached to Itami who didn't mind one bit... He loved her so much... He didn't want anything to happen to her... He didn't want to loose her again..
"Hey... You okay now?" Itami asked, he didn't respond just stayed quiet... Hugging her...
"Hey.... Could you let go so I can breathe? Please ashi...?"
"No...." He whispered... Itami sighed as he hugged her tighter making her smile..
"What have I done to you kakashi.... I've ruined you" Itami whispered... Her mind going back to when she first told him she was Itami... It was heartbreaking to see him like that... Like this.. She didn't like it when he cried... Especially since she was one of the reasons he was.. To kakashi.. He was just scared..
"Ashi... You wanna go somewhere?" Kakashi shook his head furiously keeping her close... His back hunched over as he kept her close. He was terrified.., terrified of losing the person he loves the most..., Itami rubbed his back gently... Comforting him... He would often have breakdowns... Not as worse as this though... She's scarred him... Jiriaya had soon sent Naruto to go deliver something to tsunade... Itami sighed as jiriaya mouthed the words 'try to get him to calm down more. Tsunade is coming over to help out' Itami nodded at jiriaya's unspoken words... She then leant her head down a little and smiled
"Kakashi..... Tsunade is coming over.... You want that?" Itami whispered in his ear making him whine "could you help me by calming down a little?" Itami asked quietly, he could hear her clearly...
"Ita" he whispered.. Itami looked at him as he stayed there "no" he muttered.. Itami sighed
"Love you" he then whined and nodded
"L-love you too" he whispered... Visions of when he first found her injured on that mission flaring up making him cry.. ( look at the chapter in the book childhood memories: called depression and memories for what happened on that mission )
Itami tried to calm him down more but it wouldn't work... The constant nightmares and pain that he felt when she was gone had taken a toll on the young man. Now here it made it worse.. His emotions getting the better of him on random occasions... Anything would remind him of that mission that ripped him apart and tore him from his relationships and ripped his world in two... Kakashi sighed as they heard a door getting knocked down. Kakashi stiffened as tsunade entered the house and growled
"Who dare blame Itami?!-" tsunade then stopped only to meet the worried gaze of her former student with her boyfriend, tsunade then quieted down and spoke to jiriaya.
"So it's that subject again" tsunade whispered. Kakashi tried to keep calm but he just stared.., stared into itami's shoulder as visions of his nightmares and previous deaths made it harder for him... He Began to cry again..l holding Itami close.. So close that he was basically crushing her.. Itami sighed
"You big idiot... Stop crying please.." Itami whispered Kakashi began to cry again as he heard what she called him... Tsunade patted his back and sighed
"Kakashi... She's here with you now...shes not gone anymore... She's in your arms... She Infront of you worrying about you... There's no need to cry anymore... We all know how much it hurt you to accept that she was gone.. But look at her now... She's Beautiful isn't she? Kakashi... I think it's time to let go of the past... Enjoy the time you have now with her instead of making her feel worried and guilty about making you like this..... You should help her, not make it harder for her.. Okay?" Tsunade spoke softly.. Rubbing the man's back he exhaled and hugged Itami tightly
"I love you.. So much Ita..." He whispered... Calming down... Itami smiled and hugged back tightly
"Good boy ashi...." Itami whispered to him as he hugged her. Itami smiled as she suddenly heard faint snoring... She looked to tsunade and jiriaya and smiled..
"He fell asleep" she whispered hugging him and kissing his forehead as she quietly carried kakashi to his room and laid him down on his bed.. She then smiled at him and kissed his forehead. Pulling up his mask for him and pulling the cover over him. Kakashi turned over in his sleep, Itami just smiled at him...he looked so peaceful when he was asleep. Itami sighed and thanks jiraiya and tsunade for helping her
"I mean it. He usually doesn't calm down for hours"
"No problem Itami.... You should be careful with him... He's still getting used to having you around.." Tsunade spoke quietly
"Yeah... I'd advise staying near him when he's asleep. If he wakes up without you he might freak out knowing how attached he is to you" jiriaya stated..  Itami nodded and smiled hugging the two
"Thank you..." She whispered as the two sannin left. Itami then sighed as she sat down on the bed... Kakashi asleep... He then began to move.. A loud whine left him as he began to have a nightmare, Itami sighed at him.. Crawling up to him and kissing his masked lips softly..
"Love you ashi-kun..." She whispered... He see,ed to calm down a bit as he turned his head to the side.. Itami smiled and laid down beside him.
"Kakashi... Your such a wreck without me" she muttered hugging him as he laid there asleep.. Itami sighed as his arms subconsciously wrapped around her.. Hugging her and keeping her close.. Itami smiled at him and hugged back..
"No wonder your so alone.... You missed me too much" she whispered hugging him as he whined...
"My...Ita...." He breathed in his sleep making her smile
"That's right" she whispered.. "Your Ita"
