You Wouldn't Choose Me

4: As Kids

Dark. She's darkness. Now I think of it... She has never changed. Even when we were kids.

Gai was challenging kakashi. They were throwing kunais to compete. Kakashi was accurate. Gai missed everything. His kunai went pass the board.

Akuyu catches the kunai with her bare hands. The blade made blood flow down her palm.

Kakashi: ooi. Daijobu?

She dropped the kunai " .... Blood. Need bandage." She walked over to kakashi and took his scarf. He pulled into his scarf " what are you doing?"

Akuyu: your fault.

Kakashi: gai's fault.

Gai: I'm so sorry!!! I'm so sorry!!!

Akuyu: pain. Scarf.

Kakashi: mine.

" I see. " She let go of the scarf. She walked back to where the kunai was. She picked it up, walked back to kakashi. She then cuts off a part of the scarf .

Kakashi: ooi !!

She ties it around her wound " arigato. Bye bye." He pulls her back collar " pay me back for the scarf."

" Huh?"she stared back." You two made me hurt. Get gai to pay you. "

Kakashi: o...ok. *let's go*

She leaves.

Kakashi: wait!!!

" What?" She turns her head around.

Kakashi: why didn't you dodge it?

Akuyu: what do you mean why?

Kakashi: you could have dodged it. Not catch it. Normally people dodge it. You caught it. Why?

" don't know. Just wanted to try... Catching it..." She looks to her palm. She closes and opens her hand repeatedly " it was right in front of me. So close. Seemed like I should grabbed it. So I did. "

Kakashi: you're weird.

" Maybe." She left.

Why did I fall in love with such a girl?
