New Beginning

Akari's POV

"What really, can I be there." I asked Minato sensei when he gave the news. "Actually I do want to put you on duty but, the council disagrees so, I can't Akari." Minato sensei said and I sighed. "Way to kill her spirit Minato." Kushina said from other side of the table. "No it's fine I'll see you guys when you get back." I said cheerfully.

"Do you feel a chill in the air." Kakashi asked while we were walking down the road with Guy. "Yeah somethings up." I said and walked ahead of them to the Uchiha compound, I did tell that I will help Mikoto- san tonight with babysitting Sasuke. "The nine tails, it's on the lose." People screamed running around hysterically. I sped up my pace and ran into the house to find Itachi carrying Sasuke. He was running to the door quickly as Sasuke was crying. "Itachi come on." I said and grabbed his hand and ran out of the house as it collapsed. We kept running until Itachi saw a girl his age.

"Izumi." he shouted and she turned around. I ran to her quickly and got her out of the alleyway before the rubble got to her. "Come on you two we have to get you to safety." I said running with the two of them. "Father." Itachi said running to Fugaku-san. "I knew you would make it, thank you Akari but I believe that you are needed." He said. "I'll see you later Itachi, I promise." I said before teleporting to the location in full gear. What I saw was not something I ever wanted to see. Minato sensei and Kushina were dead. I stood rooted to the spot until Kakashi shook me back to my senses. "They're dead." I said softly so that he could only hear.

"Kakashi take her out of here." Lord third said walking up to us and he nodded. "Come on." Kakashi said, but I didn't budge. He teleported with me to his place and I crumbled in seconds. "They're dead, I was too late again." I said and Kakashi bended down pulling me into an embrace. "It's going to be alright." Kakashi said and I pushed him away. "How is it going to be alright, they're dead Kakashi dead Rin's dead, Obito's dead and Naruto is a jinchuuriki he will grow up orphaned and hated." I snapped at him then I saw his expression. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to." I said and he came back to me and carried me into his room. "Sleep you'll need it." He said before trying to walk away. "Wait, I- I don't want to be alone." I said holding onto is hand. Kakashi lied down next to me and pulled the blanket on both of us. I moved closer to him and hugged him letting the rest of my tears flow down while he stroked my hair comfortingly.

I woke up early morning to Kakashi muttering in his sleep. "Obito, Rin I'm sorry. Minato sensei, don't go I'm sorry." Kakashi mumbled. "Kakashi." I said and he bolted up right before walking to the kitchen sink. I stood up and walked to Kakashi to see him scrubbing his hand raw. "It won't come off." Kakashi said softly but I heard. I gently took his hand out of the water and stopped the tap from flowing. "A-Akari." Kakashi said. "It's okay." I said drying his hand with a towel. "I'm sorry." Kakashi said hugging me and I hugged him back. "There's nothing to be sorry about, just don't do something stupid." I said wiping his tears from his face. "I should go, I have a mission today, I'll be back by night." I said walking to put on my shoes. "I'll see you later." Kakashi said kissing my forehead making me blush a little.

"An assassination mission how fun." I said sarcastically and Yugao giggled. "For someone in the ANBU you don't like killing senpai." She said. "Give me a break I saw enough blood last night." I said sighing and she kept quiet. We finished our mission in a day and got back to the village by night. I walked home after reporting and bumped into someone, actually they jumped onto me. "Itachi, Shisui you shouldn't jump onto people like that." I said and Shisui laughed. "Akari-nee mom said to bring you for dinner tonight." Itachi said. "I'd love to Itachi, but I just came from a mission and I need to do a couple of things." I said patting his head a little. "Maybe next time." I said walking to the training grounds.

"You should stop beating yourself up really, Kakashi." I said to him. "Your back." Kakashi said turning to me. "Looks like it." I said and saw that he was looking at the small cut on my arm. "Come on." I said dragging him out of the training grounds. We entered Ichiraku and there were no people in there, hopefully. "Akari I- Nope you are going to eat weather you agree or not." I said cutting him off and he sighed but took a seat. "What can I get for you two." Teuchi-san asked. "Two Miso soup ramen, one of them with eggplant." I said cheerfully and Kakashi stared. "What." I asked looking back at him. "You said you hate eggplant." Kakashi said and I rolled my eyes. "Yeah I do the one with eggplant is for you, I know it's you favorite." I said and I thought I saw that blush on Kakashi's face again.

"Thank you for the wait." Teuchi-san said handing us two bowls. "Itadakimus." We said in Unison and I finished my bowl in just thirty seconds and looked at Kakashi to see his bowl empty too. "How do you do that." Ayame said looking at our bowls as I payed. "It takes practice." I said cheerfully. We left the stand and walked through the streets of Konoha. "Akari-nee." Itachi came running up to me. "Itachi aren't you suppose to be home by now." I said bending down to his level. "Dad and I came to get Dangos after dinner, did you know that Sasuke hates sweets, he eats tomatoes." Itachi said and I smiled." You should go your dad will look for you." I said and Itachi left. "Kakashi I wanted to ask you something." I said looking up and meeting his eye. "Hn." Kakashi said and I sweat dropped. "Please tell me you haven't been hanging out with too many Uchihas." I said and he smiled.

"You wanted to tell me something." Kakashi said after a while. "What do you look like without you mask." I asked. "I'll show you, come on." Kakashi said and we went into his house. "Under my mask is another mask." Kakashi said and I looked at him annoyed. "And under this mask is my face." He said and pulled down his mask. My eyes widened, Kakashi did actually hold a close a super close resemblance to Sakumo. Kakashi moved closer and I took a step back hitting the wall. Kakashi was just millimeters away from my face, and my cheeks heated up. He closed the distance between us and kissed me. I closed my eyes and kissed back.

We pulled back after a couple of minutes panting. Then Kakashi moved away, muttering. "I'm sorry I know if you don't like me and I just stole your first kiss." Kakashi said not meeting my eyes. I walked up to him and met his eyes. "I don't mind, I mean I sort of liked you but I just didn't know how to tell you." I said fiddling with my fingers. Kakashi came in for another kiss but a hawk pecked on the window. "I guess I got called." Kakashi said moving away. "I'll see you soon." Kakashi said before teleporting away. "That old man, it's like he knows." I said to myself and teleported home.
