Eye's Of Death 2

Kakashi's P.O.V

"What are you going to say to her?" Gai asks after a few moment of silence between us while we sit, waiting for Akane to finish bathing so we can go in and see her "I'm not sure" I tell him and he nods "Are you prepared to see her?" He asks and I shake my head "I know I've been going to see her everyday for the last few months, but the last time I saw her was two months ago and it just feels so weird" I tell him "And even though I've been seeing her everyday, I haven't had a conversation with her for a year and five months. I did talk to her but of course she never responded back" I tell him and Gai only nods again, looking like he doesn't know what to say. We fall silent and not long later, a nurse comes out and tells us that we're able to see Akane now. Gai and I stand and make our way to Akane's room, Gai knocks on the door first and not too long later Akane calls through the door "Come in" Gai looks at me before opening the door and walking in. Gai stands on the closest side of the bed to the door but Akane's head and I stand right next to him "Hi, guys" Akane says in a soft voice followed by a very small and soft smile "Hey" Gai says in a soft voice.

Akane's hair is wet and very long, on one had cut it the entire time she's been in the hospital but it looked beautiful in the light coming though the window. Akane's eyes and cheeks are red and puffing with tears starting to form in them again "I'm sorry" She says simply before looking down at her lap and just starts bawling, she uses one of her fist to wipe the tears away from her eyes while her other fist is sitting in her lap. I quickly move over to the other side of the bed and start rubbing her back "I'm so sorry" She says again "It's okay Akane, you have absolutely nothing to apologize for" Gai says and takes a step towards her "It's not okay, you guys came and waited to see me and all I'm doing is crying" Akane says and hiccups "I'm sorry" She says again, everything falls silent apart from Akane crying; no one said a word. After Akane has calmed down for the most part, she sits straight again and I retract my hand. "I'm sorry it took me so long to let people come and see me, I was afraid that everyone had forgotten about me or thought I had just died at some point" Akane says and wipes away the last bit of wetness on her face "I know now that, that was just stupid of me to think and selfish of me" She finishes and Gai shakes his head "You're not stupid or selfish Akane, we all understand why it took you longer to let anyone see you" Gai explains and I nod, not trusting my voice at the moment.

"Thank you" Akane says with a little laugh and wipes at one of her eyes again "We're glad that your okay. I hope you get well soon so that we can train and battle" Gai says and pats her hand before just leaving without another word. I pull up a chair and take a seat where I was standing then just stare at my hands while picking at them; I can feel Akane looking at me. She places her left hand a top of my own which makes me look up at her, she was crying once more. "Can you answer something for me?" I ask and look back down at our hands where she links her hand with one of mine "Sure" She says softly, I take a deep breath "Can you hear things that are going on around you when you're in a coma?" I ask and look up at her, she tilts her head and thinks for a moment "I don't think so, I don't really remember anything from the time being in a coma. I think it's like a dreamless sleep" She explains to me and I nod then look back down at our hands again "Why do you ask?" Akane asks me "I was just curious" I tell her then look up at her again with a smile that she can't see due to my mask. "I've missed you, Ai- chan" She says and squeezes my hand "I've missed you too" I tell her, still not looking at her and kiss her hand. "Kakashi, there's something I want to tell you" Akane says suddenly, her seeming to back to how she used to always talk rather than it being soft.

"Come sit here" She says and takes her hand back, she scoots over and pats the place on the bed next to her. I don't say anything but just do as I'm told, she grabs my hands again, this time with both her hers "Please look at me when I say this" She asks of me so I look up into her eyes. "When I first met you, I had thought that you'd hate me because I mentioned your father and we had met not long after his death" She tells me "But then everyone reassured me that you wouldn't hate me for that and you proved them right, you didn't hate me. After we got over that in accident, we got closer and I felt like it was because we both knew how to felt like to have your family taken away from you and to be one of the last of your clan but it also had to me more than that, we were able to talk to each other about anything, we were able to be around each other whenever and not feel uncomfortable with one another or at least I didn't feel uncomfortable" She tells me "I didn't feel uncomfortable too" I tell her and she smiles a little "Since I was only 11, I didn't know how to feel about anyone more than just as a friend or family. With you I felt as if we were both friends and family with also something I little bit more but again, since I was 11 I didn't know anything about anything" She says and laughs a little more and looks down at her lap "I guess what I'm trying to say is," She says then looks back up into my eyes "I love you, Kakashi" She finishes. My chest feels tight and burns, my heart races and I can feel my face and ears burn as well. I squeeze Akane's hands a little and let out a little laugh while starting to cry just slightly "I love you too, Akane" I tell her, looking into her eyes. She pulls down my mask and we share a gentle kiss.
