man! this story is getting so much good feedback! I bet ifly_paugg wishes she had written it now XD. So yeah, Kaori belongs to ifly_paugg, but most of the plot belongs to me! I don't own the naruto characters either, just so you know XD on with the story!... you know, I had a dream today... where I saw Kaori's future(by that I mean I saw like part of the plot... not literary Kaori's future!)... I'm so using it for the story later on! Oh yeah!

____________________________________________________________

Kakashi fell forward suddenly, making me roll my eyes. Idiot. So yeah, I had to carry him all the way to Tazuna's.

"Hey, Kaori-sensai, how did you heal your wound?" the orange idiot asked confused.

"It's a jutsu only known from my clan members," I replied bored. "We have Nekko blood, and Nekko saliva heals."

"So, why don't you heal Kakashi?"  the idiot  asked dumbly.

"It heals wounds baka!" lovergirl shouted angrily. "It can't give you chakra!"

The idiot nodded dumbly. He doesn't even know what chakra is. Baka.

"Not only that," I said as an afterthought. "I never use it to heal other people. Never have, never will. It'll be weird, licking people... and gross. But yeah, Sakura's right, only wounds can be healed by saliva. If he wants chackra, he'd had to drink my blood."

"Blood!" Naruto asked wide-eyed.

"Yep, it's full of Chakra... more than I need." I replied nonchantly. I'm bored. "But it would also look weird... drinking blood... plus, it has side effects.... And it could hurt."

They all sweatdropped and I shrugged.

We where all around Kakashi, as they said stupid things. Now, I'm thinking... I need Zabuza and Haku... they could make this mission much more simple, but... I can't risk it. With the fight Kakashi gave yesterday, they might actually have a chance... of course, he's hurt, but still... it's better if I help them. That'll gain me more trust from Kakashi, if I fight an old friend for 'defending' his students.

I suddenly heard a scream, so I looked up. Lovergirl and  the idiot  where breathing hard, and Kakashi had just sat up.

"What where you trying to do?" I asked confused to the two.

"We wanted to see under his mask, believe it!" the idiot said annoyingly. 

I looked at Kakashi. Hm... that's true... he's got a mask... Now I'm curious...

"Have you seen him, Kaori-sensei?" Lovergirl asked smiling a little.

"No... not yet anyway," I said smirking.

Kakashi looked at us, since he couldn't hear what we were saying, and just sent us a suspicious glare.

"Yo Kakashi," I said as I went to his side. "What are you hiding? Are you that ugly?"

I touched the edge of his mask, but he held my wrist in place.

"Maybe," he said with a weird look... is he smirking?!

"Damn mystirious gay," I muttered taking my hand away. 

"I'm not gay," he said annoyed.

"Sure, sure," I said now smirking. Why doesn't he just accept it? "Anyway, I think we should train the midgets-"

"WE'RE NOT MIDGETS! BELIEVE IT!" the idiot shouted.

"before Zabuza attacks again," i finished, ignoring the blonde.

"Sensei, what will little training do!" lovergirl said.

"Shut up," I said annoyed, receiving a glare from Kakashi... which I ignored. "It'll help. At least you'll be able to do something instead of stand there looking like complete morons who-"

"Kaori," Kakashi warned, making me roll my eyes. Who does he think he is? He's lucky I need to gain his trust.

"You saved me when I was in trouble," Kakashi said smiling. "You guys are growing rapidly! Especially Naruto!"

"That's only because he had more to grow," I said a bit angry. "In my personal opinion, Sasuke has grown less than him, yet, he's still pretty ahead in his avilities. Sasuke is the best option this group has."

Sasuke smirked as Naruto sulked. Where did that come from? Why did I fell... offended when Sasuke wasn't recognised.

Kakashi shook his head in dissaproval.

"I'm sorry idiot," I said messing the blonde's hair. "But it's the truth. Keep trying though!"

"Yes Kaori-sensei! I will train till I beat Sasuke, believe it!" Naruto said grinning. "Sounds fun!"

"That's kinda impossible," I muttered sweatdropping. No way this kid'll beat an Uchiha. Sasuke smirked, and Kakashi glared. Naruto hadn't heard, so he was happilly grinning.

"That's not fun," a kid said entering the room.

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?" Naruto shouted, making my head hurt.

"I'll be outside," I muttered to Kakashi, who nodded.

I ram throught the forest, until I found Zabuza's and Haku's chakra.

"HAKU!" I shouted, entering the weird place.

"Kaori-san," Haku replied from a room.

I entered to find Zabuza on the bed, with Haku beside him.

"Hey kiddo," I said as I smiled and messed his hair. He's too cute!

"Kaori-chan," Zabuza said surprised. "What are you doing here?"

"I have to be quick," I said as I sat beside him and played a bit with his hand. I smiled a little, remembering when we used to date. "I'm sorru zabu-kun, but I'll have to fight you tomorrow. It's my mission, from the Akatsuki.I need Kakashi to trust me."

"I see," he said as he sighed. "I understand. We'll try to end their lifes quick."

"Why?" I said smiling a little. "If I recall correctly, you like to make them suffer."

"But you care for them," Zabuza said, making m tense.

"I don't" I replied. What? Why would I?

"You do," Haku interrupted. "You look at them like you first looked at me. You might not accept it now, but they'll become important."

"N-No," I denyed. "It's my great acting skills."

"Don't lie to yourself," Zabuza said sweatdropping. "No acting could ever add emotion to your eyes. They care for you, you know?"

I looked away. I can't. I don't care for them.

"Maybe you should take this opportunity," Haku said. "If they survive, you can go live in the village... never return to Akatsuki."

Could I...? No. I don't want to. 

"Please kill them," I whispered, and it actually hurt to say it. They're right... I even care for the idiot. "Before it's too late."

"Are you sure-"

"Yes." 

Zabuza nodded. "I owe it to you."

"Thanks," I said honestly.

I watched as they tried to climb th trees. Sasuke would look at me everytime he fell. I couldn't bring myself to look his way. I do care for them... more than I thought so. I have the urge to help them so much. But... they have to die. They can't become a burden to me. 

"I'm going for a walk," I muttered as I left to walk in the forest.

I don't know how long I walked, but I sensed him.

"Pain-sama," I said bowing. "What brings you here?"

"Is he dead?" Pain asked.

"N-Not yet," I admitted a bit nervously. What the hell? I'm nervous. Pain's eyes narrowed.

He lifted my chin forcefully. Oh damn, I'm dead. 

"Emotions," he said with cold eyes. "You're feeling emotions."

"I'm not," I muttered. It would be a less obvious lie if it was written in my forehead.

"Kaori-chan," Pain said, caresing my cheek. "Don't lie to me. I might kill you."

"I'm sorry Pain-sama," I said nervous. 

"Hmm," Pain said as he studied my face. "They broke you."

My eyes widened. 

"You have emotions. You won't be able to complete this mission," Pain continued. "I had so much hope for you, Kaori-chan. What a shame... you'll be dead."

"P-Please P-Pain-sama! I can complete the mission!" I struggled.

His grip tightened, and he glared at me. "Afraid of death? What happened to you Kori-chan... I'll give you a month. You shall kill the copy-cat, and bring the nine-tailed demon to me. You'll be forgiven if you do. If you don't... you'll be dead."

Pain disappeared, and I fell to the floor. I have to end this quick.

"Kaori-sensei," Sakura said worried. "Is something wrong?"

"No," I said still not eating. "I'm not hugry."

Inari had gone off somewhere anrgily. I didnt pay attention at al. Naruto had gone to train... sigh... that kid is weird.

"Kaori-san," Sakura said once again... Sakura... it feels weird calling her that... 

"I'm just sleepy Sakura," I said, looking away. 

"Let's go to sleep then," Kakashi said looking at me.

"Where am I to sleep?" I asked Tsunami

"Ah, I thought you could share a room with Sak-"

"She'll sleep at my room," Kakashi interrupted. "Let' go."

He took my hand and dragged me to his room.

"You know," I said smirking. "This looks like you're going to rape me or something. If I didn't know you were gay-"

"I'm not gay," Kakashi said as he entered his room. "I want to talk to you."

"Shoot," I said smirking.

"What's wrong? What happened today?"

The smirk dropped of my face. Just those seconds with Kakashi had made me forget my worries. Why did I have to like Kakashi so much? It's his fault, I did always want a gay friend.

My eyes widdened as I realised it. I like Kakashi. He's actually my... friend. And I've never used my Kekkei Genkai! Neither on team 7.

"Kaori?" Kakashi said looking at me worried, as I stared at him wide eyed. I took a step backwards. No. I can't like him. I just can't!

Kakashi took my arm and held me in place. He put his hand in my forehead, as if to take temperature, and that made my head feel hot. Huh... maybe I'm sick?

"You're hot," Kakashi said, making me smirk.

"Why thank you," I said smirking. "Can't say the same about you, since you're hiding your face."

Kakashi looked away. What the hell? Why does he always do that. I smirked, taking a step forward. Time to make the gay uncomfortableee. I played with the edge of his mask, and his hands once again grabbed my wrists,

"Relax," I said thinking of a new plan. "I don't want to see your ugly face. I'm going to change!"

I changed in the batroom to my shorts and smirked, taking one of Kakashi's shirts from my backpack and putting it on. They're comfy, and they make him uncomfortable. It's a two for one!

"Kakashi what-" I said as I opened the door, however I stopped mid-sentence when I saw him finish taking his shirt off. I felt my face get hot again as I stared at his toned stomach. Damn, he looks hot.

"Thank you," Kakashi said smirking. My eyes widened... did I- "Yeah, you sid it aloud. You don't look to bad yourself Kaori."

"Shut up," I muttered annoyed. "I look way better... and I've SEEN way better."

"Oh really?" Kakashi said smirking as he sat on his bed and took off his shoes.

"Yep," I replied lying. "Way better."

"Then why is your face all red?" Kakashi asked teasing.

"I'm sick," I replied sitting in the other side of the bed. Time for my plan. I layed down. "I'm actuall not feeling good..."

Kakashi stood up confused. "Kaori?"

"My head hurts," I moaned, gripping my head with both of my hands as strongly as I could. 

"Let go," Kakashi said removing my arms. I had my eyes closed fro better effect. "Are you alright-?"

I suddenly jumped up, making us both fall to the floor, Kakashi letting a little yell of surprise.

"GOAL!" I said as I removed his mask, and stopped wide-eyed. The covers from the bed fell on top of me from my sudden and fast movement, and the door was opened by the three midgets with kunai's in their hands. They stopped wide-eyed as they saw us.

The covers where preventing them from seeing Kakashi, but they could see my now red face as I stared at Kakashi wide-eyed.

Kakashi quickly lifted his mask, making me snap out of my trance and get off him quickly, noticing our position. 

"I knew it!" Sakura said grinning like an idiot.

"Kakashi-sensei and Kaori-sensei..." Naruto said shocked.

"Don't do this here could you," Sasuke said smirking. "at least wait till we're all asleep."

"WHAT?!" I shouted getting the Uchiha in a headlock. "It's not like that you little perv!"

Kakashi held me by the waist as I tried to get to the Uchiha again, trashing around as he merely rolled his eyes.

"Sure Kaori-sensei," Sasuke said smirking. "That's why he was shirt-less, with you on top of him blushing-"

"I never blush!" I shouted. "I'm sick!"

"They're too cute!" Sakura said all fangirl-mode. 

"I'm not cute!" I defended. 

"Awwww," Saukura completely ignored me.

"It's not that!" I said crossing my arms. "I just removed his mask."

They all stared at me wide-eyed.

"How does he look?" Naruto asked excited.

I looked away, feeling the heat rise to my cheeks again. I noticed Kakashi was paying attention as well.

"Hideous," I said as I turned around and went to bed. "Now let me sleep."

"Then why is your face all red?" Kakashi asked sitting on the bed. I turnd my back to him... huh, the midgets where gone...

"I'm sick," I said stubbornly. I don't blush. I must be sick!

"Hm," Kakashi said as he got in bed, making me blush. 

"What are you doing?" I asked turning to face him.

"Sleeping," he said smirking.

"Sleep on the floor," I muttered annoyed.

"It's hard,"

I sighed. Well, he's gay, so I shall not worry-

"W-What are you doing?" I said looking away.

"Removing my mask?" he said as if I was stupid. "You've seen my face anyway, so it's not necesary. I always remove it to sleep."

"What if the other three come," I asked annoyed. 

"They won't be able to open the door," Kakashi said smiling, making me blush. His closed-eye smile looks so much better without the mask. "They're trying just now."

He is right, they're trying to come in. He pocked my cheek grinning. "You're blushing!"

"I'm not! And if I was, its becouse your face is so ugly it embarasses me."

Kakashi rolled his eyes and turned around, making me sigh relieved. I couldn't look at his face much longer. He is HOT! Who knew? If he wasn't gay I'd so enjoy this mission so much more.

I couldn't sleep... but he was already snoring. I carefully took my kunai knife from my table. I better end this. He's vulnerable right now. I gripped it tightly as I looked towards Kakashi, who was still asleep. He turned around suddenly, making me gasp in surprise... but he was still asleep. 

"I'm sorry Kakashi," I whispered, only hearing soft snoring in response. I got closer and prepared the kunai by his neck. I accidently brushed my other hand by his arm, and he stopped moving alltogether. I followed suit, staying as still as I could.

I actually gasped, and almost dropped the kunai when he hugged me to his chest, bringing me closer, just as I was preparing myself to do it. I felt myself tense up. I felt my heart beat speed up, and heat rised to my face once again. I felt tears in my eyes... actual tears of emotion! I felt so safe, so secure in this moment that I even felt the Akartsuki wouldn't be able to hurt me.

It's to late. I can't do it. I can't kill Kakashi.

I placed the Kunai in the table behind Kakashi, careful to not wake him up, and I placed my head comfortably in his chest. I closed my eyes, feeling butterflies in my stomach. What is this feeling? Is this what having a real friend feels like?

I let a small smile to my lips as I brushed my fingers through his hair, actually giggling a little when I saw a small smile play on his lips. I like this feeling... maybe Zabuza is right... maybe I can just live a normal life...
