Freefall (Kakashi HatakeXOC Part1)

Keira's POV

I think it's been a couple of weeks since the whole thing with Okuri, I'm not really all that sure. Kakashi's made me stay at home, saying things like I'm unfit to train the Genin, and I still need to fully recover. He's just being paranoid, I'm still upset about what happened, but that doesn't mean I'm just supposed to sit around and do nothing all day.

It's going to be difficult, I know it will, but I'm going to try and go back to my daily routine before everything went down hill. The best thing to do is just try and move past what happened, and get on with my life. I can't dwell on the past forever, I'm just going to try and forget about it. Even though I know for sure I won't be able to.

"Are you sure you should be here, Keira-Sensei?" Naruto questions as he tilts his head to the side slightly.

I nodded and forced a small smile to my lips, then reply,

"I'm fine, Naruto. I can't just sit at home all day, it's not going to do me any good."

I placed a hand on his head and ruffled his blonde hair while adding,

"Now, get ready. I want to spar against you, and see how much you've learned in my absence."

The blonde nods enthusiastically, before running off to stand a few feet in front of me. Kakashi was to my left, talking something over with Sasuke and Sakura. I didn't particularly care for what he was telling them, so I trained my attention back to Naruto.

"Are you ready?" he calls over,

"Let's start already!"

Man, I really missed his cheerful attitude. I nodded and reply,

"Ready as I'll ever be."

Naruto pushes off his back foot and charges at me, he's done this before, so it would be easy to catch him off guard. As soon as he was close enough, he pulled his arm back to aim a punch at me. However, this was just like the other times we've sparred, so all I had to do was the same thing as before.

I stuck my foot out as he was in front of me, but he jumps over it and nearly lands a hit to my side. I caught his hand just at the last second, and say,

"Good, I see you've learned from past mistakes. Now, counter this."

I pulled Naruto towards me by his hand, and placed my other hand at his waist. I hoisted him up and over my head as I flipped him over, he hit the ground with a thud. It caught him off guard for sure, it was something that Obito had managed to do to me the first couple of times we sparred.

I stepped back some, and Naruto scrambles to his feet while saying,

"That was a dirty trick!"

"You've got to be paying attention, and learn how to counter your enemies moves," I sighed, though there was still a smile on my lips,

"Let's try again, shall we?"

I flopped down onto the bed, and stared up at the ceiling. Kakashi and I finished up today's training with the Genin about half an hour ago, he was off in the kitchen I think. Or was it the bathroom? I don't remember what he said he was doing, but he would join me when he was done.

My hands subconsciously rested again my abdomen, and it was then I realized it. I pulled up my shirt partway, and let my hands feel over my now flat stomach. I still wasn't used to the feeling of that part of my body being flat again yet, it was still odd to feel and think about.

I let my eyes close as I just felt over my stomach, my fingers tapping an uneven rhythm against my skin. I heard the door open and then close, the bed dipped down to my right; indicating Kakashi had climbed in next to me. I opened my eyes and turned my head to look at him. He was watching me with a sad look in his coal coloured eye, it was one I haven't seen in such along time. One I hoped I would never have to see again.

"You shouldn't keep thinking about it," he says quietly as he reaches over to hold my hand,

"It's all in the past now."

I looked down at our hands, and intertwined my fingers with his, then reply,

"I know, but I just can't help it."

He uses his other hand to pull my shirt down, and holds my hand tighter as he says,

"Don't. I know how much this is bothering you, but you can't let it keep getting to you. It wasn't your fault, just remember that."

I closed my eyes again, feeling tears start to form. I didn't want to cry though, especially not in front of him. Ninja aren't supposed to cry, it shows weakness, and the last thing I want right now is to show weakness in front of Kakashi. Not again, anyway.

"Yeah," I mutter quietly,

"I guess you're right."

He was silent after that, so I just assumed he was done with that conversation. However, I opened my eyes yet again as I felt his lips brush over mine. He had pulled down his mask, I could feel his warm breath fan over my lips as he says,

"I want you to feel better, which is why I'm going to help you. I'm here for you, you know that."

"I know, now shut up," I replied, then draped an arm around his neck and pulled him in to connect our lips in a soft kiss.

I could feel all his love for me being poured into just that act of intimacy, and it made a warm feeling spread throughout my body. It was...odd. I haven't felt anything like it before, yet at the same time it's all I want to feel.

Kakashi breaks our kiss to say,

"I'll always be here for you, I'm not going anywhere."

"I know, and...thank you," I replied as a smile spread across my lips.

He leans in again to kiss me once more, this time it created a heated sensation on my lips, making me crave for more. I parted my lips slightly, and he took the opportunity to explore the familiar territory.

I haven't really been one for just sitting around and kissing, it was weird to think about how some people can sit around for an hour and just kiss. I know I wouldn't be able to do that, I'm sure it would be nice and all, but it's just not for me. But if it was Kakashi I was with, I suppose I could make an acception. 

As we kissed, I found my hands were now tugging at his vest. He sits up and starts to take it off, once it was removed, he drops it to the floor. Kakashi shifts his position so now he was sitting on my waist and leaning over me, nearly crushing me with his weight. It was something that actually brought me relief, it let me know he was there; and it was just comforting.

I grabbed his shirt and pulled him down, he says,

"I want to show you just how much I love you."

I simply nodded, and he connects our lips yet again. I felt one of his hands rest on the bed next to my head to help hold himself up, and his other traveled across my body; offering gentle squeezes here and there. It felt good, I wasn't going to deny it.

I let my head rest against the soft mattress as Kakashi breaks our kiss and lets his hand travel around my body. My eyes closed as I laid back and let him do what he wanted.
