You're It For Me (Kakashi Hatake love)

Chapter 2: History Part Two

-----------------------------------------------------------

Emiko POV

-----------------------------------------------------------

Half way to Kakashi's house I ran into Guy who told me about Rin. The blood left my face and I felt like I was about to faint but I ran as fast as I could to Kakashi's house instead. I didn't bother knocking on the door because I knew he wouldn't answer even if he was home and hurriedly took my sandals off before running down the hall and into his room.

Kakashi had destroyed most of his house and was now sitting down on the floor with his head between his knees. His eyes jerked up when he heard me enter "GET OU... Emiko.." he whispered as he realized who I was and scrambled over to me. He was still on his knees as he wrapped his arms around my waist and buried his face into my stomach, my arms instantly wrapped around him holding him close "Rin... I .. I killed her!" He said on a sob that caused the tears already streaming down my face to flow faster and my heart to break for him.

I dropped to my knees and held his face in my hands "No Kakashi... Rin made a choice... A hard one but one we all would have made.. You... You are not to blame for this... I swear it.." he nodded as I dropped to my knees in front of him and he allowed me to draw him back into my embrace. I don't know how long we stayed like that but at some point we moved because the next morning I woke up in Kakashi's bed. Still holding him to my chest with my hands buried in his thick silver hair. If it weren't for the sad reason we were in the position we were in I probably would have blushed profusely but instead I just untangled myself and went to make some breakfast. 'I wonder when he ate last..'

I had just finished making plates when Kakashi emerged. We ate in silence and after I drew him a bath, I don't know why but I had a strong urge to take care of him and surprisingly he let me. He held my hand through Rin's funeral just as he did at Obito's and just like after Obito's death we grew closer. Our one-page letters turned into two, the books we shared became book cases at each other's houses and if I didn't stay at his house he stayed at mine unless either of us were on a mission.

Minato became Hokage and Kakashi and I joined the ANBU Black Ops together. Kakashi was distant and cold hearted towards everyone, even me at times but whenever we were alone he was able to sometimes smile. I hated being part of ANBU, Minato knew it and Kakashi knew it but I refused to leave Kakashi's side.

So, we were placed as guards for Kushina. Minato and Kushina were having lunch when Kushina suddenly grabbed her stomach. "Are you alright?!" Minato jolted forward to help his wife. She laughed "I'm fine.. He is just kicking hard today." She said rubbing her belly. Minato put his hands on her's "He is as active as Obito was.." Kakashi stiffened next to me so I silently took his hand, giving it a small squeeze. "Kakashi! Emiko! Come here" Minato shouted. We both jumped out of the bushes and landed in a bowing position. Kushina waved us over "Do you want to feel?" Everyone was surprised when Kakashi didn't hesitate to touch the woman's belly, his eyes widened when he felt the baby kick and he smiled softly "You will be my future student..." Minato smiled really big "I would be honored." Everyone was silent the rest of the day as I realized my small childhood crush had become love for the sliver haired ninja.

Things had just become a little easier and I was planning on telling Kakashi my feelings when the nine-tailed fox emerged and Minato and his wife Kushina sacrificed themselves for the village and for their son. Like all the times before Kakashi held my hand at their funeral and like all the times before we got closer. Our letters tucked into the pages of our shared books have become three and four-pages long, the books more personal and I got rid of my house and moved in with Kakashi... It was just easier that way.

The Third Hokage resumed office and for the first time in years we were separated. Kakashi joined root and I was forced to leave ANBU because and I quote "People with kind hearts should not be part of ANBU regardless of the reason." So instead I became a teacher at the academy for the 4-6-year olds. I had just got home from the first day of school and was preparing dinner when Kakashi came in. "Guess what?" I asked excitedly "hn?" He said sitting down obviously tired. "I have Naruto in my class..." Kakashi bowed his head "Has it really been that long?" He asked to no one. I smiled "He is a very cute little guy and has such a strong resemblance to Minato... I find myself staring at him a a lot.." Kakashi chuckled at me as I placed dinner on the table. "You should have kids Emiko." I smiled "I have lots of kids." I replied smiling "Besides what would you do without me?" He laughed at that and begun eating. 'I would have your kids.' I blushed at the thought. "Emiko are you alright? You look flushed. Are you running a fever? Maybe you should stay home tomorrow." Kakashi said as he placed his hand to my forehead. My blush deepened as I swatted his hand sway "No I'm fine." I said chuckling nervously.
