Book One- Chiisai is a simple librarian who spends her days trying to move on from her fickle past and its haunting side effects. Her life, however, quickly spirals after she's attacked in an alley. She's saved by the elite ninja known as Hatake Kakashi, but Chiisai, who has secrets of her own, wants nothing to do with him. Unfortunately for her, Kakashi has a lot of time on hand, and he soon learns nothing is simple about her, and her secret threatens all of the Leaf. Even worse, there's a pull to her he can't quite stop, and it's one he shouldn't entertain. It's a slowburn with mystery and action. Dual pov, third person. Complete. Prepare for usual Naruto violence and mild cursing, etc. I write fluff and angst. Is mature in the last two books for several scenes, making this series in the new adult subgenre. This is part one of a trilogy or possible quartet. This is a heavily updated/edited version from fanfiction.net and AO3. I will update those after finishing posting the completed series here.

I'm (Y/n) (L/n), although my last name is not known to many people. I used to have a happy and chill childhood in a small hidden village from the Land of Rain, at least until something happened and I was forced to start a life as a ninja from the Village Hidden in the Leaves. Now, I'm 21 and coming back to Konoha from a long term mission with my ANBU team. The Hokage sent me on an easy mission where I met a jonin who later presented me to his friends. Now thanks to him I feel like I'm back at home, specially after meeting a mysterious white haired jonin who after a while I discovered we had more in common with him than what we would have thought. However, even though I just wanted to have a rest after that long mission it seemed that my past wouldn't stop haunting me no matter how much I tried to forget it and how many people I met. The question was, would it ever stop haunting me? Would meeting Kakashi make any difference? Would it make it for him? And who the hell is making my life so miserable if I thought I had already got my revenge?

"I love you so much that it hurts."

"Hey." He rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment. "Sorry I'm late, I stopped by the store to get you some flowers." ~~~ This was published in 2017 when I was young and still learning how to write so cringe alert!
