Welcome to Gaia! ::

(A/N: I know that Akira is a masculine name in Japanese. The name, Akira, means intelligence, or brightness. Check out this site: http://www.behindthename.com/, but in this story it is used for a girl…eh…what am I to do? Disclaimer: I do own my version of Akira, and she is MY OC! MINE!) Ratings will go up when necessary. This is my first full-length fanfic so go easy on me, please? I hope that most of this is OOC, but I also like IC, so, I’ll do a mixture of the two. Kakashi means Scarecrow…so; I will be referencing his name as Scarecrow as well as Kakashi. Hope you don’t mind…. Hope you like. R&R! I’m a slight Phantom of the Opera fanatic, so, I will be using some of the songs, but Kakashi will be either of the guys, and Akira is always Christine. LOL! This should be interesting. I’d been having a boatload of brain-farts, and finally am continuing! Read it all ready. Stop looking at the Authoress’s notes!
Kakashi: Can we get this over with? I wanna read my book!
Akira (OC): Hold your horses!
Akira (Me!): Yeah! Wait a minute! Random story: Read, but don’t review…out of boredom ---> (Glomps Kakashi. ½ a second later = O.o = Kakashi after I glomped him. ¾ a second later = (Me)>.> & <..< after I tried :*. Akira (OC) = :* Kakashi = ) Anywho…I hope you enjoyed my nonsense. And without further ado…I give you my fanfiction. (Needs a better title…help…please? Or maybe I’ll come up with a better title in NYC after a few art museums…) The main setting is Japan, but I will allowing them to do some traveling…Scotland, Paris, Madrid, USA…and many more. Title has a deeper meaning. For once, I’ll say it…pay attention to the first flashback, please? That is where you’ll find a deeper meaning to the title. Sorry for that interruption, but please, readers enjoy the story!

Chapter 1: The Introduction to the Grim Reaper on a Starlit Night

Story:

It was a star-studded night in the Konoha-gakure Village, when a tall, silver haired man about the age of twenty-six wandered onto the scene. He was wearing the traditional AnBu outfit with his hitai-ate covering the sharingan in his left eye, and his mask covering practically his whole face except for his one onyx eye and the bridge of his nose. He hid in the shadows of the trees surrounding him, his back trapped against one. The reason why was a mysterious stranger had him trapped.
She was known as Akira. Her crimson colored, shoulder-length hair flowed gently in the breeze, but all you could see was a shadow, and her eyes, the color of the sky on a clear summer’s day.
She had him trapped with the sharp edge of her kunai knife pointed directly at his throat, but merely an inch away.
She was a very well trained fighter…or so he thought. She just shook her head and whispered, “Good-bye, Kakashi-kun,” as she disappeared in a puff of smoke leaving the kunai on the ground. He smiled and thought to himself ‘She is a beaut.’ He just chuckled to himself.
Akira was not that far off from where he was. They had now known each other for about thirteen years, and most of it was her flirting, and he was returning the flirtations. But now, her mind heard his thoughts and tried to distract herself from the inevitable. The hands of fate were actually going to give her a second chance at the love she never felt.

That's good...now for Part 1 of Flashback...of doom!

Chapter 2: Flashback Part 1: The Meeting

(Flashback to their first meeting Warning: Long flashback ahead…I just realized that…ignore A/N’s, please...unless it has important information about the characters.)
It was at Obito’s twelfth birthday party. The day was the tenth of February, and Obito’s friends and family were invited, even Team 7, and his sensei. Akira just watched from outside. She wasn’t a friend to Obito or anyone, except for Rin. She saw Akira and asked, “Obito?”
“Hm?” He responded nonchalantly.
“Do you mind if I let my friend, Akira, in?” She asked looking out the window giving Akira a worried look.
“Eh…why not.” He replied with a slight smile. He rushed towards the door and opened it. He saw her. “So, you must be Akira?” He asked. She just nodded. “I’m Obito. Nice to meet you.” She handed him a present. “For me?” He asked slightly surprised. He wondered how she knew, and then looked at Rin and grinned. Of course Akira would now about my birthday, because she’s a friend of Rin’s.
“Yes.” Akira said shyly.
“Thanks.” Obito said a bit taken aback when she handed him the present. It was wrapped in black wrapping paper with white calligraphy that spelled out “Happy Birthday” in Japanese. “Wow. You…really didn’t have to.” He said blushing slightly.
“Open it.” Rin and Akira said simultaneously.
“Okay. Gah! Fine.” Obito said and opened it to reveal…“Wow! A sword!” He blinked. (A/N: O.o)
“Handmade it about a month ago.” (A/N: Craftsmanship skills…LOL! She isn’t supposed to be a Mary Sue! She was trained.) Akira said shyly, but she was gradually opening up to this group. She smiled weakly at first, but then someone (A/N: We all know who.) showed up at the door.
“Wow! Thanks!” Obito said giving Akira a hug. “Let me get-” He started.
“That?” She completed his sentence. “Please, allow me.” Akira politely intervened, and opened the door to the twelve-year-old version of the Copy Nin, but without the scar or Sharingan, yet. “Who are you?” She asked a slight blush creeping on her cheeks.
“Me? Oh…uh. I’m Hatake Kakashi. Who might you be? And why are you here?” He asked with a blush forming behind his mask. (A/N: Yes…I know…take the dang thing off! I don’t wish to…yet.)
“I’m Akira. That is all you need to know, and the fact that…” Akira stopped and looked at Rin.
Rin interjected, “She’s my friend.” Akira stood behind her cowering slightly. “What’s wrong, Akira-chan?” She asked.
“It’s his aura. So strong, and dominant.” Akira said looking at her friend, and not at the boy.
“Oh.” Rin and Obito said simultaneously.
((It might be long right now, but deal with it.))

((I warned you, but do you listen, nope...I could've cut that, but I decided against it, but if you think that's long wait til pt two. lol!))


Chapter 3: Flashback: Part 3 ((Lots of A/N's in here))

(Still in flashback, but minutes later…)
Akira just walked towards what she guessed to be the living room, and sat down on the floor just staring at the ceiling daydreaming. Until “he” showed up in the room. “What ‘cha doin’?” Kakashi asked her.
“Nothing really. What do you want?” She asked suspiciously.
“To talk really.”
“About what? Anything in particular?”
“No. Well, um, yeah. I guess something in particular. I want to learn about you.” He said bluntly.
She blushed and asked, “What would you like to know?”


“How do you know Rin?”
“We met in Pre-academy. Our parents were neighbors.” She continued her explanation in detail. (Fill in what you think would be appropriate, because the flashback is too long!)
“Oh!” He looked surprised, and sat down next to her.
She closed her eyes, and scooted a little further away.
“Oh, shy, eh?” He asked calmly.
“Yes.”


Bluntly spoken. Eh, I like this girl. She’s got spunk, but she’s shy when you first meet her. Maybe later I could ask her out. “Well, um. What would you like to know about me?” He asked shyly. Well, I thought it was just her, but maybe it could be me, too. He thought about something for a minute, and smiled wickedly under his mask.
“Well, I would like to see what you look like without the mask, perhaps?” She asked coyly.
“Okay, fine, but you have to promise not to say anything to anyone. Got it?” He asked her. Her eyes just widened, and she nodded her head.
“I-I-I won’t tell a soul.” She murmured.
He pulled down his mask, and showed her. (Fill in dreamy-dream guy picture here.) She just blinked. Wow! How beautiful, but why does he hide it? I wish I could say something, but I’m so intrigued. “Wow!” Was all she could get through before he placed his lips upon hers.


A minute later he pulled back, and ended the kiss, and patted Akira on the head saying, “There’s nothing to be afraid of now…is there?” She shook her head and smiled an actual smile at him, and he smiled back. She didn’t know what to say. He just sighed and walked away. (Here’s where I’m going to have to stop the flashback) (End Flashback)

I wish you the best of luck. ^_^U LOL!

Chapter 4: Repeating the Past

Akira was still looking at him while he just looked at her with a smile. She blushed just remembering that day. All of a sudden he appeared right next to her and smiled. “What now?” She asked slightly annoyed, but smiling.
“Just came to talk with you.”
“About?”
“Not this again! That day…I fell in-love with you, and look at me thirteen years later and still no luck. Hey! You wanna go out for dinner and a movie?”
“Luck in love? I think you have luck, it’s just lost. Sure, dinner and a movie sound like fun. When, and what movie?” She was getting too excited; but then again, she was the first one to notice her feelings toward Kakashi-kun.
“Luck in love, eh? Oh, meet me at my place around six tomorrow evening.” He chuckled as he disappeared in a puff of smoke. She stayed there, because she was a wanderer or in her case a traveler, and had no home to stay at except that she knew where Kakashi lived.
--------------------------------------
I plead the fifth amendment.

The right to remain silent. lol!
Chapter 6: A Place to Stay?

(About half-an-hour later. A/N: She stays in the tree for awhile daydreaming or in her case seeing the future…she is an oracle…nothing unusual. We all know what Kakashi was doing…or do we? Read on to find out. wink )
Akira was at Kakashi’s house, and knocking on his door. From inside all she could hear was, “Hold on a moment! I’m coming!” He sounded tired or annoyed. When he got to the door he just looked at her in surprise, and stepped aside so that she could enter his home. A simple home, but just enough space for two. (A/N: HINT!) “Here ya go, Akira-chan. And why did you decide to come here?”
“Because, as anyone knows I am but a weary traveler, a ruroni of sorts.” She explained briefly. “May I stay here for the time?”
“Sure.” His usual response to these things was monosyllabic.
“Thanks.” Her’s were as well.
“Not a problem. Shall I show you around? Or do you remember where everything is?” He asked taking her hand and brushing a kiss to her palm.
“I think I can remember.” She said with a smile and a slight blush creeping onto her cheeks.
“That’s good.” He said smiling. “So, you brought your luggage with you?” He asked pointing towards the small bag.
“Yes.” But that’s only the first part of it. By tomorrow the rest should be here. Time to get some sleep.

^_^ It gets better...^__^U

Chapter 7: To Bed We Go

“We should go to bed now.” Kakashi said. “You should sleep in my bed, and I’ll sleep out here.” He offered.
Akira just shook her head saying, “No, if I sleep in the bed, then you come with me, but if you deign to sleep on that couch then I’ll sleep beside you, no matter what.” She meant what she said, and said what she meant.
“All right. Bed.” He said with a sleepy look in his mismatched eyes.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Later that night)
It was somewhere close to midnight when they went to Kakashi’s bedroom. Nothing was out of the ordinary. (Fill in ordinary bedroom thought here.) “Ne?” Akira said sleepily looking at Kakashi who was sleeping.
“Ugh! What is it, Akira-chan?” He asked still drowsy.
She didn’t say anything for the next couple of minutes. She scooted closer towards Kakashi until they were touching skin to skin. She finally flipped over just to see his face once again. “There it is.” She whispered her breath brushing against his throat. “The face that I fell for thirteen years ago, and yet, I still love it, and the man that you have become.” She continued whispering and licking his neck. A soft growl of pleasure erupted from Kakashi’s lips as he looked down in wonder and pleasure at the woman of his dreams. I wish you were mine, Akira-chan. He thought softly to himself. “I wish that as well, Kakashi-kun.” She says in a whisper loud enough for him to hear. It was as though she was reading his thoughts.
“True?” He whispered huskily.
----------------------------
Still pleads the fifth. lol! By the way I fixed some of the things...lol!

Oh my gosh! Have you been watching the "Axe" commercials as well?? lol!

Chapter 8: You Choose

“Yes, very much.” She smiled as yet another blush crept in. She leaned in for the kiss, but only kissed his lips gently, just to see if he was awake or not. And suddenly another growl and RIP goes his mask, and sure enough it was like the first time they met, except that this one kiss was a lot longer, and drawn out. When finally they pulled apart both were gasping for air.
(A/N: Fill in appropriate scene for following to happen.)
A little while later they were both fast asleep, well, at least one of them was. Kakashi had spent the whole night telling Akira stories just to get her to fall asleep, and there she was, asleep in his arms, snuggled close to him. He smiled and closed his eyes, and placed his chin gently on her shoulder. She squirmed closer to him, and they both fell asleep.

Why's it makin you cry, Haseo-kun?

Chapter 9: Dinner is Served

(The following evening)
The time on her clock said “5:15”. Fourty-five minutes to get ready for that evening out with Kakashi-kun. Since Kakashi-kun said that he had an errand to run and wouldn’t be back until about 5:45 or later, but hopefully no later than 6:00...or so she hoped. She got changed, and put on a black dress with black high-heels, and a pretty diamond necklace. She also carried a black kitty purse. (A/N: I will give you the sites to find the images later or I might change my mind and add them to the top.)
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Forty-five minutes later)
It was six o’clock that evening, and Kakashi had just gotten back. He whispered something in Akira’s ear saying that he needed some extra time to get ready for the night. She smiled. (A/N: Sorry, but this is sad…cuts scene short, and switches to dinner scene.)
