The Light Of Konoha

Travel Sickness

Kakashi's P.O.V.

I really wanted the dunce to have his moment, honestly.
But he seriously needs to stop being so reckless...

"Naruto, we needed a free flow of blood to clean the poison from your wound..." I began, speaking softly in an almost sing-song voice,
"But you've exceeded the need...
You could bleed to death. I'm serious❤️"

I could see Aki sweatdropping from the corner of my eye at my mocking tone.

He had pulled himself off the ground carefully, leaning on a tree for support.

His pale, creamy skin looked even more porcelain and fair with his chest exposed.

"Noooo! Nuh-uh! No way! Not gonna happen! I'm not gonna die like this!"
Naruto yelled, panicking as I approached him.

"Show me your hand," I sighed.

As I began to treat it, my eye widened slightly as I noticed the wound had already begun to close.

"Sugoooooooooi!" Said a voice from behind me.

I flinched and quickly wrapped the bandage, hiding it.

"It was almost healed Kaka-San!
That's incredible!" Aki marvelled, eyes twinkling in wonder.

'Dammit! Shut it Aki!'

"I don't know what you're talking about," I said monotonously but at the same time giving him a look which said 'keep-your-mouth-shut'.

He stared back at me with a look which said 'tell-me-later-or-else' before nodding subtly.

"W-what was it Aki-chan?" stuttered a nervous Naruto.

"Oh, um... I was just surprised how much blood there was, I thought for sure you'd be dead with that much lost!"
He smiled innocently as Naruto looked as if he might faint and I rose an eyebrow.

'And I thought I was being mean.'

"U-um, A-Aki-San... Y-your kimono," stuttered a red-faced Sakura who was holding out his clothing and turning her head away.

I noticed the Uchiha, however, was having no such problems, openly appraising Aki's body as he gratefully took the kimono from Sakura.

"Oh, yeah," said Aki, sheepishly.
He seemed unfazed that he was half-naked.

Not that there was anything for him to be embarrassed about.

He wasn't absolutely ripped with a bulging six-pack,
'like moi~~ honhonhonhon.'
but that wouldn't suit him anyway.

He had more of a swimmer's body; slender and toned, with a flat stomach.

It suited him well along with his translucent skin.

Aki met the gaze of the silent Uchiha.

"You're staring,~" he smirked, amusement in his clear in his face.

Sasuke's eyes widened slightly, at what must have been an inside joke or comment of some kind.

He then grit his teeth, grunting angrily and looking away.
"Hn, whatever, I can't believe I let you bite my hand cause you're too weak to handle a little pain." Sasuke huffed.

An irk mark appeared on Aki's forehead,
"oh yeah?!
Well I was doing just fine without your 'help'.
You're the one who decided to stick your hand there!
What are you, some kind of masochist?!"
