Chereads / Nature's Queen (Naruto) / Chapter 5 - New Home

Chapter 5 - New Home

Kakashi still carries me but now I'm sitting on his shoulders instead of being in his stronghold. It's completely dark outside now and it gets a little cold. It doesn't bother me I mean I slept in the forest before so yeah.

The sky is clear and there are many stars, big and small it looks like a sea of sparkling crystals. "So beautiful" I said while still looking up.

"Mhh what do you mea ah never mind. You're talking about the stars no?"

"Yes Kashi it's so awesome there are so many of them" I say with awe. I don't even realize I said Kashi instead of Kakashi.

"Oh I know what you mean. But let's go home now we can look at them another time. I promise."

And with that Kakashi picks up his speed. On our way I begin petting Kakashi's hair it's so fluffy and soft it reminds me of Kuto's fur.

In a few moments we arrive at a small apartment and he sets me down." Well this is my small home maybe blunt cause I never had a reason to decorate it, I'm on missions most of the time so yeah." he says while we enter.

He's not wrong with that. It's really cold just gray an no colors at all. Boring but I will change it for sure and that's a promise.

I get out of my shoes and let them stay by the door. After that I follow Kakashi around. There is  a small kitchen with some sad looking plants, kinda depressing but yeah. "Here kid I will sleep on the couch today you can take my bed. We can go shopping tomorrow so we can make a room for you but before that we have to clean it up and storage all the things away." "Ah no you can take the bed I mean it's yours and I don't want to burden you. I can just take the couch." "No you will take the bed you are my guest, no complains. It's my home so I can decide." well he's right there I guess I don't have a choice here. 

"Follow me.... Here this is my room you can sleep here for now, here take this these are some old clothes from me maybe a bit big but its enough for the night. So when there is something wrong you can find me on the couch." he lazily leaves the room and me behind. His room is quite big but still blunt like the rest.  I change my clothes and there really big but at least they're comfy. I hop on the bed and crawl under the blanket. Slowly I feel my eyes closing and sleep sleep takes hold of me.

. . . 

I wake up in a clearing and can hear water running. Now wide awake I look around to see many flowers some I never saw before. But I can see something crawling in the shadows heading deep into the forest. "Hey wait who are you and where are we? Hey wait" Now I'm shouting for it to stop. It's not stopping so I decide to go after it, I know dumb right? But I'm just really curious. 

The 'Thing'is heading towards a cave with dead trees all around it, there are even some bones of some dead animals and maybe humans. Really creepy and a cold shower is running down my back. I'm scared but I still continue. The cave is pitch black and I have to be careful cause I don't want to fall or step on something. I try to look around a bit and there are some light blue glowing flowers. They remind me of the moon and now I can see more of the cave. 

Its empty but I just saw a shadow heading right inside. Well that's really weird and creepy now. I decide to head back to the clearing but suddenly mist starts forming.

"Hey what are you doing in my cave human, leave" a angry and deep voice suddenly stated.  I slowly, carefully turn around only to stare at a a 'DRAGON'. Aww that's so cool I love dragons since I was small. It has glowing violet eyes and they look like souls. The dragon is really big and violet-gray in color. It's wearing something like a armor made of bones. For others it might be terrifying but I think its cool. 

"Wow a real dragon, do you have a name? Do you live here? Are there others too?.... "Wha Why are you not scared of me human, you should be and stop asking so much" it looks really surprised but no wonder on my side here. "Well I think your cool I always wanted to see a real dragon. You just surprised me there so whats your name and where are we?" "You're strange for a human you know others would be scared to death because of me but you you just smile at me, ask for my name and you don't call me a monster. You're different not in a bad way but it could cost you your life sooner or later. For now you can call me Kurayami and for your question we are in your mindscape I believe."  he stated and I'm glad for his answers. I did not expect my mind to be so huge and colorful. Its amazing and breathtaking it looks like a fantasy world that you expect to see in books or movies. Suddenly I'm beginning to fade away but I don't want to leave just yet. "Well looks like you're waking up now but don't worry we can talk another time I will be here." and with his last words everything starts to fade.

I'm now fast awake sitting upright in the bed breathing hard. I can't believe it, I'm overwhelmed. I look around and its still dark outside so not much time has passed. I really want to sleep right now but I'm to agitated right now. I don't want to be alone. I say up and move across the cold floor into the living room. I try to be as quiet as possible  cause I don't want to wake up Kakashi. 

He is still sleeping, with his mask on might I add but I don't care. Slowly and carefully I get on the couch and cuddle with him. He's really warm and I can feel sleep overtaking me. The last thing I feel before I fall asleep is an arm moving to hold me. I feel save and smile falling asleep into a dreamless night.
