Another Kankuro Love Story

43

"You're jealous of me. I didn't know that is how you felt Hana. He made me train harder to protect you. He always told me once he was gone it would be up to me to keep you safe and that's why he spent so much time teaching me. Not because I was the favored child it's because he knew I would protect you to the end. He saw in me my inability to kill my family and to always protect you.

When he left us with Orochimaru he told me to protect you even if it meant I would die. He was testing me. And I passed because I didn't let a single hair on your head be touched. So don't you get it I'm a ninja so I can protect my family. You have way more potential then I do and your wasting it. He did those things because he seen my love for you couldn't be broken.

I didn't know you thought it was because I was favored. It was all for you. I was trained so I would be able to help you when the need arises and I was taught jutsu to protect you. I'm not as special as you are. I'm so sorry that I didn't realize what was happening." I told her she growled a little.

"Shut up! I don't want your sympathy or protection!" She screamed coming at me. I instantly deflected her hit. I was protecting Kankuro to my best ability. "Just let me kill him and I'll leave you alone!" Hana yelled at me.

"I'm sorry I can't do that. He is special to me and I won't give him to any girl. He is mine and I'll protect him even against you." I told her cradling him. "Akemi stop. Just let her do it. And save yourself." Kankuro groaned but I ignored him. I kept blocking her as she attacked.

"Why do you protect him?! It would be so much easier to just let me kill him!" She yelled at me.

"I...I...it's because I love him! It's something you can't understand because you haven't found the one person who makes you happy yet! Hana once you do you will understand that when you love someone you'll protect them until you die! I have come to find that I'll do anything for him! And it's because I have fallen in love with him!" I yelled at her as she kicked my arm.

"How can you love some one who yelled at you and call you names? How can you love him when he told you he didn't want to see you ever again?" She asked me.

"That's love. It isn't perfect it's sloppy and makes you reckless. But when you have love you realize that sloppy reckless love is worth anything in the world. That's why I have forgiven him because my love for him is stronger than any name or argument. And his love is as strong as mine." She clearly was confused.

She kicked right at Kankuro and I moved my whole body to protect him. I gritted my teeth as pain shot through me. "How do you know he loves you?" She asked. I felt my eyes watering as I touched his cheek lightly. He stared at me with bewilderment in his eyes.

"From the first day we met he has been kind to me. He has shown me how to live and how to love. He was my friend when I had none. He would stay with me just to make sure I was okay. Even though he would use excuses to stay I knew it was because he was worried. He has stayed by my side and he has fought for me.

Even when I told him to leave me alone or ran away because I didn't want to hurt him he still helped me. He would except me right back as though I was coming back from a mission. He would take me to places that I never thought I would see. He showed me how to feel. He trained with me walked and ran with me. He fought by my side even when the odds were against me.

When I had nightmares or panic attacks he would stay by my side and calm me down. When I was sick he didn't let up. He stayed with me when it would have been so much easier to walk away. He has kissed and hugged me when I didn't deserve it.

He has been the one person in my life to show me what love truly is. He has the kindest heart and he has let me take advantage of his kindness.

He has trusted me to do the right thing in many situations and he trusts me in other ways. He has trusted me to know I would never leave him truly and I would never cheat on him. So he doesn't say a thing when I hug other boys because he knows I wouldn't want any others love.
