Fragile Strength (Kakashi x oc)

Chapter 6: My sun

Before the story continues, I want to thank javadriz for supporting this book. Comments really motivated me :)

Sunday morning. I have no idea how many days I've been waking up in the hospital bed. I've been confined here for my therapies.

I stood up, walking slowly towards the window. I set the curtain aside and let the sun embrace my room. From my window was Konoha's ever so busy street. People from different villages and lands had came to watch the last round of the chunin exam.

Yes. The last round is today...which also means Kakashi's return.

I walk back slowly on my bed and sat down, letting my mind wonder back to that night.

I tighten my arms around his waist, burrying my face on his back. The tears won't stop falling. I'm scared. I'm so scared.

"Kasuno-chan..." He took my hand and faced me "What's wrong?" Worry was evident on his voice.

I open my mouth to tell him but I couldn't; instead, I came up with excuses "I'll miss you. I just want to see you before you leave."

He wipe my tears, showing me his eye smile "I'm coming back in a week. There's no need for you to cry..."

I forced myself to look up at him. Kakashi is a strong man. Unlike me, he neve broke down in front of people no matter how hard things get for him.

I continue sobbing. I wrap my arms on his waist again, pulling him closer "I didn't know you'll be this important to me...You keep me going. You make me want to hold on to my life."

I felt him hug me back "Then hold on. When I get back, we'll have a talk. There's something I've been wanting to tell you." He back away then cup my cheeks. I was surprise when he place a gentle kiss on my forehead "Kasuno-chan, promise me you won't cry again, alright?"

I didn't want that moment to end. I just want to be in his arms. In his possession. I wipe my tears, holding back my sobs. I nodded at him, smiling painfully.

Can I really do this to Kakashi? Is it really right to approach him in the first place? I'm dying....

Tears started to fill my eyes again but I shook it off. I tap my cheeks over and over with my palm "No more crying! I'm not weak! I'm not dying yet! I'm still alive and have more days to live!"

"Kasuno." 

I turn around and Kurenai along with my brother and Asuma had just entered my room. Kurenai run up to me, grinning.

"You're scaring me." I laugh awkwardly as she stood tall in front of me "What's up?"

"You're going to watch the chunin exam with us!" She inform me excitedly.

I look back at Asuma and my brother for confirmation and they both nodded. I quickly stand up, almost falling, but Kurenai held me. I've been stuck here for what feels like forever. My doctor won't let me leave. Finally!!!
