The Love For One (Kankuro X Reader)

Kankuro meets the past

"What?" Both of them said in unison. My eyes grew big as I realized what I had said. I turn my head away from them and held my arm with my other arm trying not to talk about this but I know that they want to talk about it. Kakashi was the first one to break the silence "I knew he liked you but I didn't think he would try anything.". "I already blame myself that he is gone just a little. I could have stop it but I wasn't going to become his girlfriend for him to stay." I said thinking back to that night and not wanting to remember it. "I think I'm going to go home I wish to be alone right now. Dinner was great Kankuro thank you again." I turned and walked down the hill and onto the street below to walk home. I knew once our ties were broken he would leave and I lost my best friend once again. He was the idiot the decided to go to Orochimaru. I shook my head trying to get him out of my head. "Hey (Y/N) wait a minute!" I head Kankuro yell behind me. I didn't want to stop so a slowed down so he could catch up to me. "Man you walk fast." He breath heavily. I turned my head to look at him as he leaned on a wall to catch his breath. I decided to stop and wait for him since he did come chasing after me. "I understand why you are upset and I can stop pinning you down so we don't fight. I just don't want you to be mad at me." Kankuro said as he stood in front of me with a worried look crossing his eyes. I looked him in his eyes and looked over his face. His dark black eyes seemed to be hard from many years of training, and the purple paint showed how much he truly wanted to become a puppet master. I closed my eyes and turned my head and mumble out "I'm not mad at you." I was more mad at myself that I let my guard down and didn't want to hurt him when he was trying to do anything. "I can walk you home if you want." Kankuro said with happiness in his voice. I just nodded and we went on our way. We walked in a peaceful silence till he asked "Is that why you got so mad back at the restaurant when I brought him up?" "Somewhat, I was more mad at the fact that he called me a thief before he left. Well not to my face at least." I answered as I shook my head no. "I don't understand this nick-name you have 'Thief'. Did you steal when you were younger?" Kankuro looked down to me with confusion running across his face. "Many people don't know me by that name only people higher then jonin know it. Sasuke only knows about that name because of his brother. Its a long story." I said as I stopped by the staircase to my apartment building. "I have all night, if you don't mind." Kankuro said as he gestured to the stairs. I huffed out and nodded mhy head yes as we started to climb the stairs. When we finally made it to the top I was panting for breath not realizing that I re injured my rips "Oh how I hate stairs right now." I huffed out. "I could have carried you up you know." Kankuro said as he helped me up from the ground. "No, I need to get better at stairs again." I said as I walked to my door and unlocked it.

"Come in." I said as I took off my shoes and went into the kitchen. "Thank you for having me over." He says as he took off his shoes. I put water on the stove to boil so we could have some tea and talk. "Wow, your place is all nice a clean nothing seems to be dirty." Kankuro said as he walked into the kitchen. "I like to keep things clean guess you could say I have OCD but that is our choice." I said as I climb onto my counter top to grab the tea from the top shelf. "I could have gotten that." He said as he walked over to the counter I was standing on and put his hand out just in case I fell he could catch me. I looked at him and rolled my eyes I turn back to what I was doing and grabbed mt favorite tea jasmine tea. I slowly climb off the counter and said "I hope you like jasmine tea." He nodded and walked to my kitchen table and sat down as I brought the tea and sugar and placed it on the table. "Okay, now story time." he said with a little cheer in his voice. "Long ago a women named Aimi ran into a man named Asao, Asao fell madly in love with Aimi the moment he caught her eyes. Aimi never once looked at Asao as someone to love because she was promised to another. Asao was also promised to another but he never wanted to follow his clan rules. Asao was destine to married someone within the (L/N) clan but he never wanted to. Only reason was to keep the blood strong to keep their kekkei genkai stong. Aimi was from a rich and important family and he hand was to a noble lord of a different land, He was also very much older then her as well." I started off say till Kankuro interrupted "This has nothing to do with you and who are Asao and Aimi." He questioned. I hit him atop his head "Just listen. Asao tried everything in his might to get Aimi attention and one day he did when he feel off the tree and into the watering hold for the farm animals when he hear her laugh at him from a distance she smiled and asked him 'Are you alright there?' her words seemed to make him go weak and he just couldn't speak to her. As the day grew on and the days got colder he finally got enough courage to challenge his family and ask out Aimi. But what he didn't know was at her house her betrothed was there. Asao knock furiously on the front door to Aimi home with flowers, when Aimi answered the door she was shocked to see Asao there. 'What are you doing here?' she asked. 'I came you ask you if you would become my girl then my wife and then the mother of my children.' Asao said proudly. Aimi smiled and with everything in her she wanted to say yes but she knew her father would be furious with her but at this point of time she seemed to not care. 'Yes Asao yes.' She yelled as she jumped out of her doorway and into his arms. The two of them span and span with smiles proudly on their faces till two angry voices sounded. 'I told you not to!'. Seem that both fathers were onlooking and were not very pleased 'please father I have fallen for him.' Aimi said to her father but only ended up getting smacked across her face by his hand 'I told you time and time again he is no one and he isn't who I chose for you.' Asao was fild with angry when he saw Aimi father hit her and he ended up punch him after what he said 'she can live her own life just like me I choose a path that I design not what has been planned for me. Asao yelled as he father turn his back to him and said 'You are not welcome here.' Asao and Aimi looked at each other knowing it was time to leave the village the once called home and move. In a couple weeks after they moved and were building a house of there own, horrible news came the village they once came from had been complete destroyed and everyone in the village was dead. Aimi cried for days to find out her mother and father was dead, Asao didn't eat for days and felt numb to everything. After a month of finding out the new they requested information on who destroyed the village and the only news they got was Akatsuki a s class rouge ninja gang were the one that killed everyone and burn the village to the ground. About 2 years after they found out about the village they had a beautiful baby girl they were so happy. The yound girl loved to be with her father when he went to go fishing but you could hardly call it fishing, and love her mom when she sang her songs at night. After three years the little girl one night heard fighting in her home, she ran out of her room towards her parents room. When she got to the end of the hall flames and smoke blurred her view, she was scared and wanted to find her parents she ran all the way down the hall to open her fathers study only to see his dead eyes staring at her from the ground. Her little voice echoed around the empty halls as she ran to find her mother hoping that her mother wouldn't have the same empty eyes. 'Mommy' Her young voice said when she found her mom all bloody crawling on the floor. 'Run My dear daughter run as far as you can and never look back.' her mother said to her . The little girl was about to ask why but then her mother blood splattered all over her face she screamed and turned and ran. She couldn't run down the stair due to the fire had already burn them. The little girl crashed out the second story window and rolled and ran as much as she can from the two men that were cashing her. She turned her head once and she came to a crashing stop into a tree. One of the men that was in the home started to fight her, she tried with all her might to fight this 35 year old man the best she could but in the end she lost. As he held her on the ground saying that her eyes will soon be his because her father didn't have what they were looking for. When she remembered how her dad looked at her and how her mother blood splattered on her face she lost it. Her eye change to a pitch black and peered into his eyes and that was the first time she took the first time she used her Kekkei genkai. Not only did she take his fire kekkei genkai that night she took his life as well. She wondered the forest till she came upon a abandoned cabin and there she stayed for 2 years and with in those 2 years many people came after her, many people died, many tears where shed, and many new kekkei genkai to learn. She ended up being put into the bingo book under the name Thief because anyone that did get away knew she has used the person own ability against them." I told my story to him wanting nothing more then to tell him.

Kankuro listen the whole time I told the story and refilled his cup when he needed by the end of the story he seemed to be in deep thought. I stood up and gathered the now cold water in the tea pot and went to start to boil some more water. "So your nick-name is based of your kekkei genkai?" He asked me as I sat back down. "Yes." I answered. "How many people have you killed?" he asked sounding a little scared. I looked down at the table and said "I lost count." Kankuro put his arm on the table and he put his head in his arms. I felt complete sadness take over me when he did that. I put my feet up on the chair and pulled my knees to my chest as I tried to hold the tears in. "(Y/N) I..." He started but I cut him off "I didn't want to kill them, its not like I enjoyed it. I had to survive if it wasn't them it would have been me. I hate my kekkeu genkai and I wish I never had it. Its not like I take on a daily any ways. I didn't use them since I've been her till the exams came and I regretted it then." When I caught his eyes when he went to say something to me before I cut him off they were full of remorse and fear. "(Y/N), I understand where you are coming from. Garra went through that at one point where it was him or them. I feel bad that you had to go through all that at such a young age. I want to help make your future brighter and for you to be happy. You don't have to hate your kekkei genkai because that who makes you. You can use them to help better not only your life but everyone around you." He said as he walked over to me and squat down to look me in my eyes as I was looking at the ground. "Then why does your eyes have fear in them?" I asked as a couple tears rolled down my face. He was the only one I didn't want to be scared of me. "I do admit, I am scared of you when you are mad. I don't want to be on your bad side because I know it could end badly. The fear I was showing was not to you but I was remember when Garra went through his killng faze and that still scares me a little bit today but he is doing better. I will never be scared of you because of the past because that what makes you." He said as he pulled me into a hug "I love you." I mumbled out as I hugged him back I felt a small smile grow on his face as he said "I love you too."
