A Ninja's Path (Kakashi X Reader)

Chapter Twelve

"Naruto, help Sasuke and Sakura out, I'll go to Kakashi."

"On it." He responded before racing toward his teammates. You did the same, running as fast as you could to aid Kakashi.

"Mind if I join in?" You asked as you blocked a kunai attack for your silver haired colleague.

"I'd be honored." He replied.

Takahiro raised a brow. "A threesome eh? Sounds kinky."

You sighed in exasperation, blocking a flurry of kicked and punches.

"Why do all of you make killing oddly sexual?"

Takahiro chuckled, dodging a shuriken. "So you met Hebi, eh? I bet she liked you." He noted how low your zipper was, the small bruises on your neck.

"Oh yeah, she really liked you didn't she?" He smirked.

Kakashi glanced over at you, staring at the hickeys on your neck. His gaze seemed to linger on your visible cleavage before he looked away.

"Are you okay?" He asked you.

"Never been better." You responded.

Takahiro laughed. "Where's that snake now? How bad of a mess did you make out of her before you killed her?"

You smirked. "She's not dead."

His eyes widened in surprise. "What did you-"

You pointed at the writhing heap of the woman apparently named Hebi. She was hyperventilating, staring at the black stumps where her hands should've been.

Takahiro raised a brow, clearly surprised by her current state. He turned to face you again.

"I like your style. After I kill Mr. Maskie over here, and Seto kills the kids, I'll keep you around for a bit." His gaze raked up and down your body.

"If you're not into girls like Handless Hebi over there, then maybe you'd be into me." He chuckled. "Technically, I'd be in you, but-"

He was cut off as Kakashi surged forward, stabbing a knife through Takahiro's chest. The blonde gasped in pain, spitting blood as he glared at Kakashi.

"Ow." He said. "Getting jealous? Don't worry, I'm sure you've gotten a lot of pussy in your day-"

You cut him off, chucking two kunai at him. They pierced his shoulders, making his arms go slack. You walked toward him, twirling your dagger around.

"I'd appreciate it if you don't refer to women in such a condescending tone. We're not some playthings for you to toy with."

He gave you a bloody toothed smile. "Well aren't you just a spitfire? You know, most women would disagree with that statement, especially when they're under my-"

You slid your blade into his stomach. He coughed up more blood.

"First time getting penetrated by a girl, eh?" You mocked the way he spoke as he collapsed to the ground.

You bent down to his ear, speaking in a soft voice. "Joke's on you motherfucker, I swing both ways." You pulled your dagger out, watching as he convulsed. Then he went still.

You stood up, wiping sweat of your brow. You turned to find Kakashi staring at you. "What? Do I have something on my face?"

He shook his head.

You smirked at his speechlessness. "It's okay, Kakashi. You can blink now."

He blinked slowly. You chuckled as you wiped the blood off your dagger before sheathing it.

"You..." He trailed off.

"I what? Killed him? Did I surprise you with my brutal murder? I'm a shinobi, Kakashi. I've killed many times before. And I know you have too."

He still seemed in a daze so you leaned in close to his face, slapping his cheek lightly.

"Wake up, Kakashi. We gotta go save the kids."

He blinked again, looking at you differently. Almost as if he held you with a higher respect.

Good.

"Come on, let's help our students."

Whew, that was a long and brutal chapter. What's with your eyes? And is Kakashi finally noticing you now? Who the heck are those people after Lady Akiko? Two down, one to go.

Fun fact:
In Japanese, "Hebi" directly translates into "snake" and "Shi no Honō" translates into "flame of death." I don't really know why I chose to call the Kekkei Genkai that, it just sounded badass.
