Love me Mercilessly  Chapter 13: Ravine Word Count: 3k Previous Chapters [x]

Akami had some free time and heard Team 7 had returned from a mission. She knew where to find them. She headed for the training grounds and saw Minato sitting on the wooden stumps watching his team train, where she joined him.

Minato asked her how things were going in the Anbu.  

“I’m learning a lot.” He glanced over the cuts and bruises and the blood stained bandages. 

“If he’s pushing you too hard.” He started 

“It’s fine, I can handle it.” 

“Are the other Anbu being nice to you, make any friends?” 

“I don’t need them to be nice.” He wanted to know more but remembered the curse seal on her tongue. When he first found out he was furious. She couldn’t tell him more about it so he had Kushina take a look. She recognized it as the cursed tongue eradication seal. Kushina couldn’t do anything to tamper with it, not without accidentally killing her. So Kushina showed her ways to talk around the seal, she said what mattered most to seals was intent so long as she was careful with her word choice she should be okay. 

They sat and watched in silence. Kakashi was practicing using this odd looking blade. It seemed to almost glow. 

“Minato Sensei, what's he doing? Is he just infusing chakra?”

“Yes, sort of, he’s using a chakra blade. They’re made with a special metal that lets you imbue them with chakra. Depending how they’re used can heighten both the blade's abilities and the users. But the one Kakashi’s using is special, it’s the ‘White Light Chakra Saber’.”

Akami gave him a scrutinizing look, she knew the name. She read it in a book once. She had only heard of the weapon having one owner and it certainly wasn’t Kakashi. 

“So you’ve heard of it.” Minato smiled. 

“Its original owner was Kakashi’s father, Sakumo Hatake; The White Fang. ”

She had no idea that he ever had a son, and she couldn’t picture Kakashi having a family, he was a mutant spawn of the devil himself. 

Watching him swing the blade was fascinating, a white streak of light was released with every strike. It reminded her of a book she read once about how blades were forged in the Land of Iron; she had always wanted her own custom blade.

Minato chuckled at her side. 

“I can never tell if you're angry or just thinking?” He and Obito both told her she made the most ridiculous face. Her brows would pinch together and her eyes would squint in concentration, she’d pull her lips into a straight line and scrunch up her nose. She turned away embarrassed. 

“Are you thinking that perhaps you and Kakashi have a lot in common and might one day get along?” He tried to no avail. 

“No!” She crossed her arms over her chest. He sighed, it was worth a try. 

“Well what are you thinking then?” 

“It’s nothing.” 

“It doesn’t seem like nothing, you can tell me.”

Akami debated but Minato knew everything there was to know about her, and he never seemed to care. It didn’t change his opinions of her and it didn’t change the way he treated her. So she told him.

Akami loved her mothers Sai, she liked wielding dual weapons, but they were heavy and made her slow. The blunt metal could easily break bone but it lacked the offensive power she needed now. She wanted to turn the dense metal baton on her sai into a blade, extending her reach as well. She found the prongs were useful and not many people fought with sai anymore. It would be an advantage on the battlefield. Akami got lost in her explanation. She always loved the art of kenjutsu. And Samurai were the best, they handled blades with a grace and flair most shinobi couldn’t hold a candle to. 

“Do you think I could go to the Land of Iron one day and have them make it? I would love to have a weapon made by Samurai.” 

Minato hummed in thought, it was refreshing to see her so excited.

“I mentioned it to Danzo. He said I was being ridiculous and it would be a waste to use such an outdated weapon. He wants me to use a tanto like everyone else.” She huffed playing with red straps over her shoulder on her black short sleeved jacket.

“You don't like using a Tanto?” 

“No I do, it's fine…it was just a thought.” She tried to brush it off, slightly embarrassed by the reminder that Danzo had completely shut her down. He didn’t like when she thought for herself. 

“Hmm well I think it's a wonderful idea! Maybe one day you’ll get a set made.” Minato beamed.

I just had a very random AU idea

Kakashi is a prince, son of King Sakumo and heir to the throne, and Gai is a farmer of the kingdom, along with his father Dai

While Sakumo does his best to be a good father and give Kakashi attention and not put the kingdom and his duty over his son, he's still the king and there are certain things he cannot budge on. Like the fact that Kakashi will marry a woman of high status and have future kids

Kakashi understands it, but that doesn't mean that he has to like it, and sometimes he escapes the palace to walk around their kingdom, not as himself but as Sukea, a young man without any important family name tied to himself

He meets Gai, a young farmer, during one of these days and the two of them immediately become friends. Kakashi, when being Sukea, doesn't have to worry about etiquette or everything that has to do with being the prince and he can just be himself, or as himself as he can be without giving his real identity away

Sakumo knows that his son sometimes goes out without his guards, but he doesn't look more into it because Kakashi never gets in trouble and always comes back home safe at the end of the day, he knows he can trust his son to be responsible

This is so cute.

Kakashi just gets fed up one day and asks to borrow some clothes from one of his attendants. They help him dress and teach him make-up so that he can change how he looks. they're the only person who knows who he is (Let's say, Maybe Yamato?)

He enjoys walking around and taking in the scenery without having to have guards around him, or worrying about people wanting to get close to him. He's free to do as he pleases and it feels amazing.

He knows he's always going to have to go back to the castle. He'll never leave his father without explanation no matter how much he really doesn't enjoy the life of a prince, but those few precious moments where he can just be himself are something he clings to.

Whenever he comes to visit Gai, he always offers to help with chores or to aid in some other form of work. things that he as a prince would usually not do, and which definitely carry over into his regular life where he's actively helping the people around him with the work because he enjoys it. It lets him do something, and then they're able to enjoy a bit more time to themselves.

Also, imagine him having Pakkun as a pet to keep him company, but obviously, everyone would recognize the little pug so he can't take him on his journeys.

and meeting the people his dad is thinking of having him marry, it's torture. he wants so badly to complain to someone, but he has to keep his mouth shut and suffer through it.

but then one day Gai see's that something's weighing on him, and Kakashi just cracks. he tells Gai about this delema without giving away who he is, and how it's breaking him because he doesn't want this life but it's what he has to have.

what's expected of him.

And Gai just smiles at him and tells him that even if it's expected, he should be allowed some joy in his life. that he shouldn't have to give up everything, and oh how bad Kakashi wants to tell him. How much he wants Gai to know who he is and to be friends with him completely, but he's afraid because he's a prince. most people would find out the truth and either turn their back to him, or try to use their friendship with him for personal gain. so keep keeps his mouth shut.
