Shinobi love- Kakashi x OC

Flashback part 29:

Every now and then, that sweet natured boy would pop up in my mind, dropping by to say 'Hello!' or 'Did you miss me!' and during these few times, it struck an emotional chord that I had hidden deep within me that even I had no knowledge of.

During these times, I would wonder off, thinking about the times we've spent together and the possibilities of the future if he had not left us this early.

I was going to watch him become the next Hokage.

I was going to support him at every triumph and at every challenge.

I was going to make right all the times he's been wronged.

But, I wouldn't ever be able to.

During these times, my thoughts would have been long lost in the depths of darkness and self pity and the thought of putting a stop to this truly insignificant and meaningless life would cross my mind so I would join Obito and perhaps he would forgive me and allow myself to make up for what I had done wrong.

But this time, a voice had called out on me, as if it read me like an open book, saved me before I hit the ground with no returns.

"Kaho, you alright?"

I broke out of my trance, realising I was still leaping through the branches and accidentally missed a proper foothold on the next branch due to my sudden realisation.

"Whaa?!"

My back leg buckled, and I lost my foothold.

I winced, bracing myself for impact as I felt my core sink.

But the falling was cut short when a strong grip circled my right wrist, pulling me up towards the branch once the grip was firm.

Once my being was lifted, an arm snaked around my waist, and the next moment I knew, my body was pulled flush against his as we both stood still on the small surface of the supporting branch.

Thump
Thump

Thump
Thump

Thump
Thump

The world seemed to stop as we both listened to the quietness of the jungle that we never stopped to witness its beauty before,

We as ninjas are always on the run,
Always living life at an incredibly fast pace,
Leaving hardly any time to experience nature's true beauty.

I found myself mesmerised by the two strong beating of our hearts, and time seemed to stand still until the arm around me loosened to support my back.

I stood up and clung onto the branch we were on, incredibly awkward and embarrassed by what had happened.

"Uhm... arigato taicho"

I managed to utter.

"It's alright, we need to hurry before the sun starts to set. Let's go."

With that said, he locked eyes with mine and gave a firm nod before leaping further into the woods.

In yet another where the warm rays of the sun felt chilly like a premonition of an omen approaching, the silhouettes of a brown haired female and a silver haired male could be seen in the distance as their took to their own routes, leaping away, with the usual, inconsiderate and ungentlemanly silver spiked nin in front and the other, pushing hard against each branch she came in contact with, trying desperately to catch up .
