"Do you feel that Kakashi?" I asked hesitantly.
"Yeah. It can't be good," He replied. We had travelled deep underground, we were under Konohamaru.
"I know. It's only getting stronger as we go farther, too. It's really setting my instinct off the wall," I said. I had never known a day when I didn't follow my weird 'feelings', and I don't remeber a day that they had steered me wrong. Today, I could feel that there something wrong in that place. My heart pounded in my chest, my eyes were watering, and I had begun to sweat. My body was panicing; but I was clear-minded. Then we came to a clearing with lights thrown around dissorderly. There was a struggle. The ninja in here weren't properly prepared. Something attacked them, something big." I could hear the echoes of the battle.
I held my ears trying to keep the images from becoming too overpowering for me. "What is it? Do you know what happened?" I could barely hear Kakashi's voice; but I focused on him, and answered "Yes, I do; but it's ...." I couldn't finish what I was about to say because I blacked out; but I quickly came back into conciousness. "Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!! You think you'll get out of here with my secret, do you??" I heard a strangely familar voice echo through the cave. It chill me to the bone.
"Kakashi. He's not the danger." I whispered in Kakashi's ear as I trembled, slightly. Kakashi looked at the man who walked out of the dark shadows and into the light. He was wearing a wearing a murky lab coat, and round glasses.
Kakashi looked at me; and asked "Are you sure?"
I looked at him in return "Yes, it's further in the cave. Through there." I pointed to the entrance to our right. The man in the coat looked blankly at me. Then I stood up and ran toward the opening that I had pointed to. Kakashi was following close behind me. Soon enough we came to an enormous beast. 'It hurts.' I could hear it's thoughts as it's pain. "Kakashi. We have to do something to help it. It's in great pain." I pleaded as my eyes began to water. Kakashi knew many things about me. Even the fact that I had a great intuition, and he knew that my heart was set on doing the best thing possible. He used his chidori on the gargantutian beast. My cheeks were soaked in tears by now, and heart had sunk. We walked out of the cave forgetting about the man; when he suddenly attacked us, but Kakashi took hold of him by the collar of his shirt. He had carried the man back to the village like that. Kakashi had walked me home after wiping my tears away from face for me.
"I was wondering if you wanted to come over to my house for dinner, tomorrow. We could meet at the hot springs before training to relax."
I smiled and whispered something in his ear. "Hm, alright." He smiled. I floated along the creaky floorboards which made no sound when I stepped on them; but creaked fairly loudly when Kakashi walked on them. I couldn't help but laugh. I let him make himself at home in my small living room as I went to change. I stepped into my closet and turned the light on. I had all my ninja gear, pants, shirts, sweaters, gloves, shoes, sandals, and socks. In the very back were dresses; most were either dark green, ivory, or metallic blue. There was only one that was black and grey. Then there was my lingeré which were all blue, grey, dark green, or ivory. I grabbed the ivory coloured lingeré, threw my cloths on the floor, and threw the lingeré on. Then I took my hair out the ponytail that held out of my face. It hit the floor and with each step I took it flowed right behind me. I set my locket in a secret lock box in the closet, then I strode into the living room. Kakashi had closed all the windows, locked the door, and the only thing he was wearing was his boxers. They were blue with big bold lettering on the back saying: SEXIEST ASS. I giggled when I read what it said.
"Well, well." He said raising an eyebrow. This was one of the only times when I actually made it to a date or anything since we started going out; but tonight I wasn't going to be anywhere BUT here. I pushed him onto the couch and rubbed my body agaisnt his as I kissed him, passionately. He pushed the lingeré down to my stomach and kissed my chest. I sighed, happily. Then I pushed his boxers to his thighs, and he pushed them the rest of the way. I lowered my body to meet his. I ran my fingers along his face, I wanted to know he was in this to the end. He took my chin and moved the focus of my eyes to his, and he kissed with so much passion that it could have burned me. I lifted myself off of him, slightly; only to remove my lingeré. The night had gone on with much love-making, lots of laughs, music, a blanket, and a horrifingly scary horror movie. ~
My eyes blinked open to the sun beaming through the window "Wow, last night was amazing, Kakashi." I said as I looked at him. He had been staring at me for awhile, it was obvious in his face. His cheeks were rosy red, and his eyes had been fastened to my face.
"It was truly amazing." He said before kissing me.
I looked into his eyes and told him, "Well, I thought you were going to meet me at the hot springs, hunh?" I blushed, a bit. Then he got dressed, and walked to the door; but before leaving he said "I love you." We both smiled, and waved to one another. I ran up to my room forgetting that I naked and I jumped into my closet. I thrusted for my deep green dress that was much like Sakura's; but I had torn it to make it shorter. It also had large baggy sleeves. Then I pulled my usual baggy black pants on and slipped my gloves on; finally I took my locket out of it's box and placed it around my neck. I threw my hair into a ponytail and ran to the pharmacy; before heading off to the springs. 'I'll just make a quick stop at the public washrooms, and check there.' I had gotten there, rather quickly. It took no time to get the pregnancy test result. I looked at for what seemed like forever. 'Positive.' It wasn't the result of the test that was worrying me; it was how to tell Kakashi. I walked slowly to the springs trying to think about how to tell him. When I finally made it to the springs, I saw Ebisu lying on top of Kakashi; they were kissing each other. I didn't know what to think about it. All I knew was Kakashi was with HIM, and they seemed to 'love' each other. Kakashi had caught, only, a glimpse of me standing there staring at the two of them. I stormed off towards the small pond that was a nice place to visit. As I came around to the pond I saw Tenten spying on Maya and Neji. So, I did what I did best. I used my family's blood-line trait, chakra explosion, which sent her flying really fast. Maya and Neji looked my way in surprise as they saw Tenten go flying.
"Stella-sensei?" Maya asked.
"You can drop the sensei crap. I'm your sister, not your sensei." I sat down beside her, slipped my shoes off, and slide my feet into the pond.
"What's wrong, Stella? I've never seen you act this way. I mean I know you don't like Tenten; but that was something that I could never see you doing. I thought you were the type who never showed hositility towards others. I mean I've always pictured you as the sweetest person in Konohamaru, and the last person to ever hurt or kill anyone." Maya seemed to have taken on a softer tone.
"Well, I was heading over to the hot springs and took a pregnancy test. It came up as positive. Then when I got to the springs, I saw Ebisu lying on top of Kakashi. In a rather sexual way. I had stormed off because I was sure of what I saw, and he didn't seem to be putting up a fight. So, I had to assume the worst. Plus, I don't like when people spy on others for jealous, self-rightous reasons." I said tears beginning to form in my eyes. Neji looked at me, then at Maya.
"Just go, Neji. We need some time to talk alone. I'll meet up with you later. Then we can go find Kakashi to ask him about it. Alright?" It seemed to me that Maya would be a great leader, someday. I took my tunic off to reveal the strapless bathing suit that I had been wearing. Then Threw off the rest of outfit to reveal the rest of the bathing suit. It was deep blue with deep green stripes down the sides. I sunk into the pond and relaxed at the edge, while Maya floated. Only going underwater momentarily, every once in awhile.
"So, I was wondering if you could tell me how you opened my locket." Maya asked, sternly.
"Do you have it with you?" I asked in response.
"Yeah. I've been trying to get it open for a few days." She said pulling the locket out of one her pant pockets. Then she handed it to me, willingly.
"Ok, well. I figured this out when my locket reacted to a justu that I had learned when I had been on a big mission with a squad that I had taken on their final mission before they were to become jounin." I raised my hand then pointed near the lock. 'Chakra explosion.' The locket opened with a small explosion.
"What was that?" Maya jumped.
I showed her the inside of the locket, and said "It's a blood-line trait. When your in the middle of an enemy army, you'll really appreciate this jutsu. I know I did." I gave her a slight smirk, trying to hide the fact that I was still upset about earlier.
She looked at the photos, carefully. "This looks like you and Hedeki." She said, only looking up at me for a second. "Yes, my locket has two photos as well, but mine are of you, and Hedeki." I said, "This fact should be obvious."
Maya then gave me a little glare. "Can you teach that jutsu to me?" She asked, bluntly.
"No. I feel you'd use it too recklessly, and blantantly. You'll just have to wait." I replied, smoothly. I lowered my head and began to cry. It was the first time that I had ever cried in front of anyone. I felt slick, wet arms wrap around me. I looked up and noticed that Maya was the one hugging me. It was the first, and probably last, time that she would ever do that; but I didn't care. We talked for a few more minutes before I decided to go home. Maya had gone to look for Neji, so that they could find Kakashi, so they could get answers from him. I had sat comfortablely in the window of my living room. I gazed out at the stars, remembering how I came to get my name. Hedeki had told me this story when I was about Maya's age. 'Stella. Your name is special. It wasn't Mom, Dad, or even me who gave you this name. You were the one who gave it to yourself. You were just a newborn baby and you couldn't talk, when you suddenly spoke your first word it was star. Mom thought you were thinking of the stars on the ceiling, but you were thinking of what the night sky would look like. I knew it, somehow. Then I said to her: Why not Stella? It was you who gave me the thought. You were the real genious behind your peculiar name. I was just listening.' I remembered that story, well. It was my favourite story when I was young. Soon, I found myself sleeping in that window, soundly. It felt like it had been a long time since I had fallen asleep so peacefully. The next morning I went to Kakashi's house to apologize for my actions the day before, but he wasn't home. I quickly ran to the Hokage's office and Lady Tsunade about him.
She had said "He's out on an A-rank mission. I don't know what he was thinking. Whatever it was.....I think you should watch for any signs that they may be in danger, but don't leave the village, other-wise." I had paced along the gate for hours before I saw a chicadee. I knew that something was wrong. There was a red ribbon attached to it with some of Kakashi's hair. I took his hair, and used it to track them down. After a few minutes; I could smell Kakashi nearby, then I sensed the chakra of a large army of ninjas. I charged in, and lost all common sense. I didn't know what happened to me, but I felt like killing someone. Then I saw them, a large group of rock nin charging at me. I smiled and began my silent assualt on them within their midst. I moved gracefully, and swiftly. I could feel a lust to kill them all. It was like something deep within me was taking over. When they were all gone, I stumbled over to where Kakashi, Maya, Neji, and Lee were sitting. They looked really scared. I dropped on my knees, and placed my hand over Kakashi's wound. Focusing my chakra I healed his wounds, and threw him over my shoulder. It didn't take to finish the mission and arrive back in Konohamaru. I dropped on my feet as Maya, and Neji slipped off my back. I had carried them for most of the journey. Lee had insisted that he carry one, but I didn't allow him. Now, I was just glad to be back in Konoha with Kakashi and Maya, safely.
