Thread: Five years of peace... [TheDarkerMe & Kaziel]

Some called it romantic, the life that she and Kakashi now had. She braced her hands on the windowsill, still perched there like some sort of bird. Over the last few years, it seemed like she and Kakashi had become what Konoha called the perfect couple. But they where far from it. Sakura and Naruto knew, the true relationship behind the two of them. Chika had made the ultimate sacrifice, when she went to trade her life for his. She had given up her dream of being the head-medic of Konoha. She had gone and seen him there with his father. She had gotten to meet the White Fang of Konoha. Screamed at Kakashi for leaving when his village needed him most. For leaving her alone, with no one that understood her. His father, the spirit of him had been shocked at the young woman. But she had dragged Kakshi back. After that, when they both started interacting again, everyone noticed the change. Chika was no longer the Maiden of Blood, but the Princess of Ice. Everyone noticed her lack of ability with her blood abilities. Over the years things had happened, injuries had been healed. Nearest anyone could tell, the only reason Kakashi was back was because of the strength of the females heart. Tsunade herself had told Chika that the heart created the strongest of Jutsu's. Nearest that Tsunade could tell, Chika had turned back death's hands... But at a heavy cost. Now Kakashi needed her still, his Sharingan was causing him problems. His body was wracked by coughs, but as long as she saw him once a week or every other... and healed him... He would be fine. She would never let him go, she had decided that the day she almost died. She wouldn't let him go, because she loved him. He might not ever hear those words from her lips, and they may never have a relationship... But she did. As much as he annoyed her, and she hated him for it. She approached him and sighed at the book, not caring for the moment. Shhhh... It's fine Hokage-Sama... She said lightly as she braced her hands on his shoulders. Chakra lit up around her, icy blue tinged by blood red. Her blood abilities where coming back. She let the healing chakra wash through him, her eyes closing as she remained quiet. Hinata had so many things running through her mind. When the Hyuuga clan leader heard sounds on the other side of the door she tensed. She was not prepared for what she saw. The door opened and Naruto wielding a Kunai was on the other side. She almost felt like bursting into tears. Then he grabbed her up and was hugging her, the breath left her. Her heart felt like it was literally breaking in her chest. She was well past the point where she would have fainted in the past. She was a grown woman now, and she only fainted after a lot of things happened. She looked up at him as he held unto her, and then smiled weakly when he released her. Uzamaki-san... You're back... She whispered softly. Finding her resolve breaking. All those years of training to be more outgoing, to be more open to others. All those years, where slipping away. She found the tears coming more, as the memories came back. She had thought him dead, there was no word of him. He was dead or in ANBU, and being in ANBU was pretty much the same thing as dead. Not allowed contact, with anyone from your past. At least in the aspect that you knew them as a person would. She bit her lip when he released her and spun around. Naru-... Naruto-kun? She whispered softly as she stepped forward, her hand pressing to his back. He was real...
