My Water Lily (Might Gai x OC)

Chapter 71: The Unexpected Prize

"I still don't get how you're feared by so many people with your anbu reputation, yet....you read.....soft core porn books..." I muttered as I stared at Kakashi from across the table. "You're lucky Naruto isn't home right now or I would beat you over the side of your head."

"It isn't porn. There's plot....and I like it, so leave me alone," Kakashi responded and looked away, his face a bit pink.

I snorted in amusement and shook my head.

"What do you think dad would say if he saw you like this? Or even better yet, Obito," I joked. "He'd probably say 'I knew Bakashi was a perv.'"

"Very amusing Kira," Kakashi replied monotonely.

"Oh come on," I said and pouted. "Oh yeah, why are you even here?"

"Lord Third is wanting to know how your progress has been with your Kekkei Genkai and I wanted check in on you," Kakashi stated.

"Oh. Well, he doesn't need to worry. I'm in full control of my Kekkei Genkai now and I've even been able to figure out how to use it for sensory purposes and healing purposes. I know it can be used for attacks and all that, but I would rather not," I explained. "Gai has been helping me out a lot. I've built my strength back up quite a bit. I'm hoping to go on missions again now. I don't exactly make a ton working at the hospital occasionally...."

"Mhm...So, you and Gai have been training together," Kakashi spoke curiously. "What all do you do?"

"Oh. Usually we'll do some basic strength exercises and them spar each other. We'll do a round where he let's me go all out and then I practice my medical jutsu on him. It's a bit mean, but it was his idea," I told him.

"So...nothing else is going on? Just training," Kakashi questioned further.

"Yeah. Do you want it to be something else?" I asked.

"Nope. As long as you two are just training everything is fine with me," Kakashi replied.

"Alright. I don't like it when you get protective like this. It's Gai we're talking about. If he hurt me it would be hurting himself more," I stated with a chuckle.

"That's not what I'm worried about," Kakashi replied. "It's none of my business anyway. How is Naruto? He's going in the academy now right?"

I nodded excitedly. "He is! I'm excited. He'll get lots of schooling and hopefully make friends. Also learn shinobi stuff which is all he wants," I said happily. "Then I'll be able to take more missions or work more at the hospital."

"I don't see you as the hospital type to be honest," Kakashi commented.

"Yeah, but helping people has been what I've always wanted to do," I responded. "They usually have me there when there is an emergency, but other than that I'm not really needed. There isn't a war going on where we need medical nin everywhere and there hasn't been too many issues in Konoha."

"That's true. I'm sure in a few years things will get frisky," Kakashi said. "That's just how it is with time and people testing boundaries."

"Mhm," I replied. "It's been seven years now since the Nine Tails attacked. We've come a long way since then."

"Yeah, but peace never seems to last," Kakashi spoke. "I'll make sure to report everything to the hokage."

"Alright. I miss your team sometimes. Yamato is so nice," I complimented. "Also, Itachi is really nice. He just recently joined your team right?"

"Yes and they're supposed to be feared you know. They're anbu after all," Kakashi mentioned.

I chuckled. "Yeah. But it takes a lot for something to scare me nowadays."
