A Love Sprouts From War - A Kakashi Hatake x OC Character Love Story

Chapter 6: Hot Springs (LEMONSMUT)

"Erika chan!" I yelled from my seat. "I am so happy to see you!" I smiled at her.

"Veena!" she ran over to me, "How are you feeling now? I heard about what happened! I didn't face off with any of the Pains, but I was trying to get everybody to safety and evacuate as many people as I could."

"That's good, you helped a lot of people. Thank God I wasn't alone facing the Pains, if I was I would have been dead, and then alive again, because he brought everyone back." I chuckled, "It was all thanks to Kakashi that a lot of us are okay though. Oh I don't think you two have met."

"Erika, this is Kakashi Hatake, Kakashi, this is Erika Yamanaka, she's an old friend of mine and she is also a chunin. We used to be on the same team. Erika, this is Kakashi Hatake, I'm sure you have heard of him before, but he and I are just...uh" I couldn't finish.

"Veena and I are just starting to get better acquainted." He stood up to greet her. He stuck his hand out, "It's nice to meet you."

Erika smiled at him, "I've heard so much about you from so many people in the village, you are truly an amazing shinobi. It's nice to finally meet the man behind the name."

I smiled at both of them. I was glad that they were getting along, but there was no doubt. They were both very important people in my life. "So Erika, what have you been up to?" I asked her.

"I've been helping out around the village rebuilding stuff, I mean there isn't a lot I can do but I've been trying to help in every way that I can. There's this extraordinary man named Yamato who uses this wood style jutsu. Thanks to him, things are being rebuilt fairly quickly, but I'm sure he gets tired." She told us.

"Oh you know Yamato too?" Kakashi asked her.

"Well, I just met him, but it's not like I know him that well. He seems very nice though!" she beamed. "You two must be so bored here stuck inside with nothing else to do but talk to each other."

Well talking wasn't all we did but I couldn't tell Erika that yet, I just couldn't. "Well lucky for me, there is never quite a dull moment with Veena." Kakashi told her.

"That's true!" Erika smiled, "But if the both of you ever need me, don't hesitate to call on me." She told us. "Oh yeah, someone told me to pass along a message that you two deserve a vacation, so they gave me these tickets to the hot springs for you two. It's a private inn a little bit away from Konoha. The spring is supposed to be magical and heals the injured almost instantly."

"Who else is going?" Kakashi asked her.

"There are a bunch of people going since there are so many injured. The people who own the hot spring have opened it to our injured villagers, and the elders are determining who can go and who can't. You two are actually supposed to head off today, and be back within three days, so you can help repair the village, and then they're going to send the next batch of people." Erika told us.

"That is awfully generous of the elders considering the fact that the village is in rubble. But I will take them up on that offer." I said getting up. I struggled a little bit, "I'm a little bit sore though!" I told her.

"Don't worry Veena, you just take your time getting there. I'll go to your house and pack your stuff up. It survived, so that's good." She headed out of the tent really quickly.

"How is it that your clan is still standing?" He asked me.

I gave him a small smile, "I may have used a very strong, powerful jutsu that uses up a lot of my chakra to keep them protected and hidden." I frowned, "That's mostly what took a lot of chakra out of me. It was the rock dome. If I was at my full strength we might have been able to stop Pain quicker, and" he cut me off.
