~My Crystal Heart (Kakashi Love Story)~

Chapter 16: Oh How Time Flies

So here ya go! The next chapter is finally here! As you know, I've been eager for a time skip for quite some time now. And here it is, it's been 13 years since the last chapter. Nothing really bad has happened to Ayame. Her relationship with Kakashi has increased, they're married. She still lives with Naruto, so don't worry, however Ayame doesn't replace her last name with Hatake, she keeps the original. Also, Naruto doesn't know Kakashi, or that they're married. Anyways in those 13 years she got to meet Kaiza 6 times, battle Hari about 7 times, and got hospitalised 13 times. I shall reveal 'the big surprise 'in one of these chapters. ;) Oh, by the way, Ayame, Kakashi, Guy, Kurenai and Asuma are all 29. So I hope you enjoy ~

°Ayame's POV°

"Naruto!!!!" I yelled waving my fist aggressively in the air.The blonde child stood upon the Hokage's faces, with buckets of ink behind him. The leaf headband tied around his jacket. What's his intention now!? "Naruto! What on earth do you think you're doing!? Get your ass down here, NOW!" I yelled looking up."What was that Ayame-san? I can't hear you from up here!" Naruto yelled, pretending that he never heard me."Do I have to go up there an-"The boy spilled the buckets of ink on every single head. My jaw fell to the floor. He drew circles around their eyes, and all sorts of doodles."I will become Hokage! And i will surpass all of the Hokage before me!" Naruto yelled, wiping his forehead.Well you won't get anywhere by doing that, and to think that he's 13. I sighed and turned around to see people whispering."That boy, he's a real menace, I'm surprised they let him run around in this village." One person whispered."He'll never become Hokage, no one would want him to." another person said."And that girl, if she's looking after him, can she at least contr-" "That is enough! I am tired of you people making fun of my boy! Look, not a single one of you here, know him like I do! So back off, and continue with your day, thank you." I said bitterly as they stared at me.

I jumped up In a zig-zag pattern to the Hokage's faces. I crept up behind Naruto who sat there with a smile on his face, admiring his work. I placed both of my hands on his shoulders. He turned around with a frightened expression. I tightened my grip and gave him an angry stare,

"What did I say, Naruto? Stop vandalising the Hokage faces, or you know what will happen." I whispered in a serious tone.

Naruto quickly crawled out of my grasp and went on his knees and bowed,

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I promise I won't do it again! Please don't do 'the thing' on me! I don't think I'll be able to live after that!" He pleaded with tears running down his eyes.

"I want to see all of the ink off here before sunset. And I want you back at home once it's dark." I ordered and jumped down.

I turned around to see him already wiping the Hokage's faces quicker than he normally does. Heh, well, he should do since he's only got an hour til' sunset. It must be hard for him, even if I'm by his side, I can't really do much about how people see him. I sighed and walked back to our room. Tomorrow is when he finds out what team he's on, hopefully he gets a good sensei. I'm only an assistant sensei for all the teams, not a full on sensei. Plus, I've got more things to worry about.

I washed my hands and put my apron on. I opened the fridge and got out some beef. Barbecue tonight! I washed the piece of meat, cut it into pieces and marinaded it in some Arakawa secret barbecue sauce. I'll marinade it for 50 minutes, and when Naruto gets back, then I'll start cooking them. I put the tub with the meat and the sauce to the side. I hung my apron on a hook. I should do some cleaning, summer's here, so that means new bedding sand new style. I walked over to my room, which I now share with Naruto. He can't sleep in that old spare room anymore, it's too small. There were two beds, a dresser separating the two. I stripped the beds from their covers one by one. I filled up two big tubs with warm water. I threw all the covers in one tub, and the dirty clothes in the other. I washed them and hung them on the clothing line outside on the balcony. I walked into the spare room and opened some drawers. I got some new bed covers and put them on the beds. I neatly made the beds and started mopping the floor. After a good 50 minutes, I basically cleaned the whole house. I sat down, with my hand on my hip. I heard the door click, he's finally back.
