Asuma's Death

Part 2

It turned to night. It was just Anko, Rai, and Kakashi who remained with Kurenai. Anko was still next to Kurenai, her arm around her friend's shoulder.

It seemed like Kurenai was in a shocked state. She didn't seem to be aware of her surroundings as she stared at the dog tags and hitai-ate.

"I'll stay with her tonight." Anko told them softly, trying to not disturb Kurenai. The purple haired kunoichi turned to look at their friends. Rai gave her a nod. She would have if Anko didn't offer.

"Thank you, Anko." Rai told her.

"Let us know if you need anything." Kakashi offered.

Quietly, Kakashi and Rai left. Rai had a headache from crying. She was still in shock.

Everything felt so surreal, so bizarre. She almost felt like she would disappear or float away if she wasn't holding on to something. Her right hand searched for Kakashi's hand. She firmly interlocked her hand with his. The pressure and his warmth helped to ground her, make her feel alive.

They walked in silence, Kakashi weaving along the streets to her apartment. Whether he was thinking of it, or his subconscious took over, Rai wasn't sure. However, he usually would go to her place for some peace and comfort.

Kakashi went through the motions, opening her door, allowing them in, taking his shoes off after he closed the door and locked it. Their motions seemed numb, mechanical almost.

Rai took off her equipment and headed for the shower. He joined her, mostly holding her as they soaked under the warm water.

They got changed for bed, Kakashi sat on the edge of her bed in sweat pants, ANBU shirt with a mask, and towel around his shoulders to catch the water from his hair. He sat there, elbows on his knees, staring at the floor.

Rai had finished drying her hair and came in to see him like this.

"Are you okay?" She asked, carefully stepping into his line of sight, stopping right in front of him. Her hands reached for the towel around his shoulders and began to dry his hair.

"No." His voice croaked. That 'No' broke her heart. She shuffled forward and wrapped her arms around him as she held him close, tears streaming from her eyes. She thought she was done crying. Kakashi's arms slowly wrapped around Rai's form as he leaned his head onto her stomach. He took in a shuddered breath.

They both held each other. It seemed like both needed to be grounded by the other.

What are we gonna do? Kept crossing Rai's mind. The conclusion was that they would be there for Kurenai as best as they could. Rai's fingers gently wove through his hair, trying to soothe her partner.

After a while, they shifted into her bed, pulling the blankets over them and situating themselves in each other's arms.

The moment they got comfortable, Rai asked, "Did… did you know Kurenai is pregnant?" Rai's voice was so soft.

Kakashi hummed softly in acknowledgment. "Asuma told me after he found out. He was so excited." Kakashi recalled the man beaming with pride as he picked up Kurenai's favorite food and flowers in order to celebrate. He smiled at the memory of his friend, absolutely ecstatic as he got things before rushing back to Kurenai.

"I want to be there for her. As much as I can." Rai told him. Kakashi nuzzled his nose into her crown and gave a small hum in agreement.

The whole night was rough. They would fall into a light doze then wake up. Both were firmly fixed into the other's arms.

"Rai," Kakashi softly called to her. He found his mind wandering and drifting, not being able to sleep.

"Hmm?" Rai hummed.

"If anything ever happens to me. Just know, I love you. So much." Kakashi got sentimental. This had to be said. He had to tell her, to ease both their minds. "And you will be the last thing I think about before I go."

Rai didn't want to hear that. Tears crept from her eyes as she clung to him. No! She was done crying! But she understood. Out of both of them, he was more likely to die from an injury in battle vs her. He was a human after all, and she was a demon. She didn’t want him to die. She couldn’t fathom it. Just the thought of losing him, it crushed her heart and sucked all the breath out of her.

"Just… don't do anything too rash… or stupid." Rai muttered into his chest. She could feel Kakashi smile through his mask resting lightly on her head.

Both were in for a rough night. Neither getting any bit of restful sleep but just lightly dozing.

Rai found herself awake. Thoughts plagued her mind. This was their profession. It was an occupational hazard of the job. It was no secret that death followed the work of a shinobi.

In the morning, Kakashi was lazily running his fingers along her spine in a soothing manner. He had been doing this for hours. It seemed to soothe him as much as it did her.

“Kakashi?” She softly asked, making sure he was up.

A small hum came from him, signifying he was awake and coherent. Rai pushed herself to sit up on her hip. Looking down at him, she felt her chest tighten as tears crowded her waterline. “I want you to promise me,” Her voice cracked. She swallowed the lump in her throat as hot tears raced down her cheeks. “Promise me you will try to make it back home.”

This ripped Kakashi apart, seeing how affected she was by this. Reaching up, he pulled her back into his chest. Soft sobs shook her body. His face pinched itself together in an attempt to stop himself from spilling tears. God damn, Sharingan was leaking.

“I…” Rai’s voice was muffled from her place curled into his chest. “I don’t know what I’d do if I lost you.” Oh, she knew well what would happen. She would die. Her heart and soul would cease to exist. Just an empty shell of a being would be left. Nothing to live for. However, she knew she couldn't stop him from doing his job.

Kakashi curled into her, resting his nose and mouth lightly on her crown. He knew he would die before her, as did she. Both assumed it would be a long ways off. And yet, with the recent events, fears started to surface.

No! He couldn’t have doubts or fears. He needed to go in with a clear mind. Thoughts and worries that bogged the mind caused hesitation. Hesitation got one killed. Taking in a small breath, he let it out through his nose to recenter himself. He knew he wouldn’t be able to promise anything. He wasn’t a psychic that could see the future. But he was damn well sure he would fight his hardest to get back home, back to her.

Rai wasn’t an idiot. She knew she would outlive him; it was inevitable. There were consequences of having a human as a partner, a mate. Other demons told her not to, warned her that she would only receive pain. But, these short years with him by her side would be worth it.

“I promise.” He muttered into her hair.

They laid in her bed, holding each other and soaking up the domestic bliss. Kakashi finally dragged himself out of bed. Rai slowly followed his lead by getting up and dressed.

Rai went to check on Kurenai during the day, she brought some food for her friend. Anko answered the door. Over her shoulder, she saw Kurenai asleep on the couch.

"She fell asleep finally," Anko told her. "Shizune is going to stop by later and stay the night."

Rai left the two. Kurenai needed to sleep.

As she walked through the village, the realization hit Rai that if Kakashi died on the next mission. He would leave her with nothing. Nothing of him. Nothing she could pour her love into.

Maybe, they should revisit the discussion of children.

Rai had half a mind to head over to Inoichi's and see if he knew anything. But another part of her didn't want to find out. While her mind turned, her feet brought her to the intelligence HQ. She was greeted by Shikaku, Inoichi, and Ibiki.

They looked at her as she stopped in the doorway. They knew why she was here.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't be here." Rai realized where her feet carried her. She bowed and went to turn around.

"You wanted to know details," Shikaku mentioned, his arms still crossed as he closed his eyes and tilted his head down. "I'm surprised you weren't here earlier."

It was true, she wanted to know who killed her friend. But she knew she couldn't do anything about it.

"Kakashi was already here." Inoichi told her. Rai blinked at her lover's name. "We're surprised you didn't come with him."

"I… I didn't know." Rai was focused on Kurenai. That must have been where Kakashi went this morning.

Inoichi turned to face her, a gesture to invite her into the group conversation. Rai made her way over to the three men.

"The man's name is Hidan." Shikaku stated when he saw Rai look at some of the documents on the table.

"He's part of the Akatsuki." Ibiki mentioned.

"He and Kakuzu were the ones that were responsible for Asuma's death." Shikaku told her.

"Have you heard of them?" Ibiki asked Rai.

Rai shook her head, "Just from the Bingo Book." She recalled those names. Maybe if she looked them up, something may strike her.

Ibiki picked up a book that was on the table and held it out to Rai.

Rai looked at the book, before taking it into her hands. She read the descriptions beneath the photos of the individuals involved.

"It seems like Shikamaru may be planning something," Shikaku mentioned. "He hasn't slept since he's gotten back."

"If there is anything I can do-." Rai went to offer her services.

"I'm afraid it is up to Lady Hokage at the moment," Shikaku shook his head.

Rai squinted in thought at the photos. Anyone who kills a Konoha Shinobi automatically has a bounty placed on their heads and has a warrant out for them.

Why wasn't she aware of this? Perhaps because she was too close to the matter that emotions could get the best of her judgment. As she stared at the book, she didn't like the feeling she got. Why did she think Kakashi was going to be involved with their capture or killing?

"It would be too risky to send you." Inoichi piped up. The mind reader knew her all too well. "Despite you being a demon, if Kakuzu or Hidan manages to trap you like they're doing the Bijuu, we may be in for more than we bargained for." Rai agreed. For once, her demon heritage may be a hindrance to this mission. "Even if they don't know who you are."

Though Rai wasn't a tailed beast, or as strong, she still could pack a significant punch and do some damage if someone managed to get ahold of her and siphon off her chakra for their own use. Best she stay in the village.

Naruto Love Languages (Shinobi)

Iruka Umino - Quality Time

Iruka prioritises quality time together more than anything. He knows what it feels like to be alone, and with Naruto he understood it even more. So he never wants you to ever feel like you're alone or abandoned. When you started dating he tried to see you at least once a day even for just a quick chat. And if you live together he is always ready to come right back home if you need him. It doesn't matter what he's doing, Iruka will make sure you know he's here for you no matter what. Expect a LOT of nice casual date nights throughout your relationship

Kakashi Hatake - Gift Giving

No matter how long you've been together, Kakashi can be a pain. His tardiness has stayed with him, being late to pretty much all your dates. It's gotten to the point where you tell him the date is happening an hour early so he's technically on time. And he ain't big on chores. But he makes up for it with his excellent gift giving skills. Pretty much every gift he gives you is perfection. Even though he's late a lot, he always brings you a small gift to make up for it (flowers, your favorite candy, charms, etc). Also, the moment you get into a new hobby or interest, expect related gifts falling in your lap for the next month. Kakashi wants to encourage your interests, he loves seeing the joy on your face as you experiment and try new things! And don't worry about money, he's doesn't mind spending it if it's on you

Might Guy - All of Them

Come on, he is literally Lee's clone. Of COURSE he's gonna be just as enthusastic with his partner. This man will literally do anything for you, if you need something done fast and perfect, he's your man. And be careful talking about things you show interest in. If you even imply you want that tea set from the store, you are gonna wake up with it on your nightstand. And god is he great at talking you up. Every morning is started with a speech about how amazing you are and how you'll face the day with power and youth together! Guy won't accept any negative comments you make about yourself, either. He shuts that shit down immedietely, and talks to you seriously and genuinely. Guy will always make you feel loved and beautiful, never forget that (don't worry you can't, god this man is loud)

Kurenai Yuhi - Words of Affirmation

Kurenai is incredibly caring and emotionally connected with you. She is a naturally empathetic person and with you it's clear. She always takes into account your personal opinions and desires, and never makes a decision about your relationship without your input. Your emotions mean a lot to her, and she makes it clear. Kurenai is always there to

Asuma Sarutobi - Quality Time

He is similar to Shikamaru of being a bit sluggish, just not on the level of his prodigy. Your love life is on the lowdown, but that isn't a bad thing! You like just spending time calmly with him without all the fuss. No pressure inducing grand gestures or giant surprises, with Asuma it's easy and stress free. His favorite way to spend time is just sitting and talking with you, and if you smoke, taking smoke breaks are a definite couple's activity. If you ever feel like you're hogging his time or being clingy, he'll quickly shut you down. Asuma wants to spend his life with you! Why do you think he shows up at your house so often with a rose?

Anko Mitarashi - Acts of Service

Anko is an independent woman who knows how to take care of herself. She doesn't require you to do anything for her, if you want to it's cool but she doesn't expected. On the other hand though she shows a lot of loyalty to you and always stands by your side. She respects your independence and autonomy and tries to not push too hard, but if you ever need anything she is right there in a heartbeat. Honestly, whenever you do anything she is watching intently for any sign of you needing help. You can't grab a cereal box from the top of the fridge without her already making a game plan if you fall

Tsunade - Physical Touch

With most people Tsunade isn't too fond of physical contact (well, when sober at least). She is used to being sexualized for her body by pretty much EVERYONE, so it feels like people just take advantage of her. But with you, she knows you don't see her like that. You see her as a human being! A hot human being, but a human being nonetheless. So when she's with you she adores hugging and cuddling and smooching. You are just so adorabl ein her eyes! Holding hands is an absolute must. In her eyes you are only one worthy of her hand... and massive tits. Just be warned that when she drinks she gets reeeeeeeeeally touchy and pervy

Jiraya - Words of Affirmation

I can already see some of you questioning my sanity, but hear me out. Jiraya is the famous Pervy Sage, this man loooooooves bodies. Boobies, booties, if you got it he wants it. So yes, physical touch is a BIIIIIG part of his relationships. But surprisingly, most people don't know that when he's in a serious relationship, he gets very sincere and sweet. He always is there to life you up, and pretty much compliments you all the time. Even when you feel like you look like shit, this man finds a way to make you feel like a supermodel. Jiraya isn't afraid to show his affection in public either, and proudly says "I love you" and calls you pet names anywhere you go (no matter how embarassing). But uh... yeah he's still gonna have grabby hands though, so get used to that

Hashirama Senju - Words of Affirmation

Hashirama is such a bright person and just a joy to date. He is basically a ray of sunshine no matter the weather or situation. Optimism is his religion and follows it closely. His main goal in life is to make you feel happy and loved. And you're gonna feel it god dammit. Every morning you are awoken with a sweet kiss and "good morning". He likes to tease you by saying you look better than ever, even though you clearly look like you woke up from a 3 year coma. Your pouting and annoyed face always makes him giggle like a kid, it's so cute! Throughout your relationship Hashirama will always find a way to convince you to look on the bright side of life, especially if it has to do with you. No matter how you perceive yourself or your skills, he compliments you with full genuineness. This man loves you so much, just... so much

Tobirama Senju - Words of Affirmation

Unlike his brother, Tobirama is muuuuch more tight lipped. He's stern and sharp with his words, even with you. It was a bit off-putting at first, and you used to wonder if he even liked you. One day it came to a head and you approached him and asked him outright if he hated you. This is one of the few times his composure broke, and he instantly shot the notion down. After a heartfelt conversation, from that day forward you payed more attention and noticed little things about him. You notice that when he talks to you his voice softens ever so slightly and he tries to use less intense wording. Occasionally when he walks by you'll hear a quiet compliment in your ear. He never forgets to thank you for every little that you do. And when you're alone he'll even soften up just a tad and admire your beauty. Tobirama doesn't show his affection outright and openly, but if you connect with him and noticed the little things he does, you'll truly understand his feelings

Minato Namikaze - Acts of Service

Minato is a gentleman through and through. He's gonna treat you like royalty, I'm talking laying his coat over a puddle so you can walk over it (don't worry, you eventually convince him to just let you go around the puddle instead). Obviously he is verbally respectful and sweet, but he really shows off with his usefulness. He loves to do chores with you or cook together and just talk for hours on end. If you're craving a certain food he is ready to take a stroll to the store and get it for you no questions asked. And when you're in public you can bet he's using his reputation to get you guys some special benefits. Every restaurant has a table for you guys set and ready, and store venders give you great prices. Plus NOT A SOUL will even try to bother you. They know who your love his, and they know what he will do to them. So enjoy those privileges~

Naruto x Demon Slayer au: Orochimaru - Written notes / Plot / Character design

Orochimaru takes inspiration from Obanai and Ubuyashiki. Like Obanai, he has poor eyesight but in both eyes. He has multiple snakes that emerge from his kimono to help him see when he requires his eyes. Like Ubuyashiki, he has a very calm tone of voice with an almost magical feel to it.

He often sits with his hands on his lap, and he bows when greeting people. He shows great appreciation for Tsunade and Jiraiya, whom he works along side of to run the leaf corps. His hands are feminine, and he has a very delicate touch and hold, but he's still plenty capable of carrying someone like Sakura without fault. Orochimaru wears a blindfold over his eyes, as they're very sensitive to light, and always has a soft smile on his face.

Kabuto is his right hand man. Orochimaru will send him off to gather information, and he will always retrieve it. He is also a great help in the lab. Sometimes, he acts as Orochimaru's eyes.

Orochimaru is first seen when Sakura is sent on the wrong mission. One of the Hashira sensei's sent her to fight one of Madara's higher rank demons, named Upper Moons, in hopes that her and Naruto will be killed. Sakura fought endlessly with this demon, through broken ribs, a broken arm and even a broken sword for hours. She strived for one reason - protecting Naruto, who was still recovering in his box from their last mission. He was blissfully unaware of the tragedy. Sakura cuts off the demons head, but before it could disappear, it stabs her in the stomach with her broken Nichirin sword. The box's straps were cut, so she slowly goes over to it, covering it with her body in a protective manner before passing out from exhaustion and blood loss. Naruto crawls out of his box after half an hour passes, he sees Sakura's state and panics. Trying to shake her awake, sobbing and wanting to scream.

Kurenai appears soon after, rushing to the two of them. Seeing Naruto startled, she approaches gently and smiles at him to let him know she's not a threat. Naruto reaches over Sakura and grabs her first aid kit, holding it out to Kurenai. "I'll try my best." She says, before starting to treat the wounds she can. Asuma joins her, helping her fix the sword wound, and reports:

"There's no sign of the demon anywhere. I asked some bystanders and they said it disappeared into ash. They also said it had a number in its eyes... so I'm assuming it's one of his..."

"This poor girl... fought... an Upper Moon? At her rank? It's a miracle she still has a pulse."

Naruto watches closely to make sure they aren't hurting Sakura, after the treatment, he reluctantly goes back into his box so they can start making their way to where they were instructed to go. Wanting to be with Sakura.

Orochimaru greets them in an unfurnished room in a small house, sitting in the centre. He holds his arms out in front of him, gesturing for Sakura to be put in front of him. Asuma does as told, and they begin their meeting.

---

Orochimaru: Welcome, Hashira. Glad to see you are unscathed. Shall we begin?

Kurenai and Asuma nod.

Orochimaru: The box... with the demon... what are your reports on him?

Asuma: He reminds me of the retired Hashira Minato.

Orochimaru: Hmm? Jiraiya's student?

Asuma: Yes sir. Their eyes are almost identical. But unlike Minato, he is very... sensitive. I've only seen him twice, and both times he has clung to and sobbed over this girl. They seem very close.

Orochimaru: Interesting... and you?

Kurenai: They behave kind of like siblings, Sakura taking the role of the elder. She was laying on top of the box as if to protect it, even if she died. He was hesitant to trust me, but he handed me a first aid kit for me to help her. He watched my hands closely when I was tending to her wounds, as if to make sure I wasn't causing further harm. They care deeply about each other.

Orochimaru: I see... open the box, please. I want to see the child myself.

Asuma places the box down and opens it, Naruto slowly crawling out, eyes gluing to Sakura. Orochimaru lifts the blindfond over his eyes, snakes emerging from his kimono, all staring at Naruto. Orochimaru beckons him forward, holding his hand gently and placing it on Sakura's chest to show him that she is still alive. Naruto is instantly relieved. After a somber pause, Orochimaru speaks.

Orochimaru: It was rumoured that Minato retired early because his wife was with child... I have reason to believe that this is him. There has been no contact with him since before these two arrived, so I have sent Kabuto out to investigate. Hopefully, he finds out more on the girls past as well.

Orochimaru moves his blindfold back into place, the snakes retreat as well.

Orochimaru: Is there anything further from you two?

Kurenai: What's going to happen to the Hashira?

Orochimaru: Until further notice, he has been taken of duty as a Hashira. We are having him evaluated for his mental state, and if he can come to terms with everything he will be allowed back, but we have decided that it is up to this child what his punishment will be.

Kurenai: Ah... I see... thank you, Lord Orochimaru.

Orochimaru nods to show his appreciation.

Orochimaru: Asuma?

Asuma: Uhm... the demon she fought... there was reports that it had a numeral engraved in its eyes. We believe that she fought one of Uchiha Madara's high rank demons.

Orochimaru: Ah... very interesting... I will have to interview her as well once she wakes. Just to be sure.

Asuma: Thank you, Lord Orochimaru.

Orochimaru nods again

Orochimaru: As of now, both Sakura and Naruto are seen as demon slayer corps members, as are the three siblings from the sand. They are all under the protection of Lady Tsunade, Lord Jiraiya and I.

Orochimaru stands up and walks over to the two Hashira, bowing with a hand over his heart.

Orochimaru: On behalf of the three Sannin, I thank you both for your services. I trust that you two will bring the children back safe and sound. Take care

He begins to walk to the door, disappearing into a puff of raven feathers.

Asuma and Kurenai release the breath they have been subconsciously holding, and make their way to begin their travel home.

Book Club - Kakashi Hatake

Bonus Chapter - Men Are From Mars

Genma is a menace to society, Kurenai is your guardian angel, and you're going to have a hangover.

word count 1.6k (9.2k words total)

cw: alcohol use

read it on ao3 here

The next week is mostly uneventful, until Saturday. On Tuesday, it's Haruki's birthday, so you treat your team to tayaki on the way home from training; afterwards, they all beg you for ice cream, even Toshiko (who never expresses much enthusiasm for anything). An evil spirit on a higher salary than you must possess your body, because you say yes, and then you're sure to send them home to their mothers just before the sugar rush hits them.

On Friday evening, a chance encounter with Genma ends up with both of you drunk in a bar. He's incorrigible as he drags you down the street, ignoring your half-hearted protests. "Come on, (name)-chan!", he insists, shoving you through the door. He's always called you that, even after you punched him in the Academy for it. "Don't make me drink alone - that would just be pathetic."

"Here's an idea, Genma - stop pushing, you've got me in the damn building already! - you could just not drink?"

He looks positively scandalised. "On a Friday?" Kami, he's annoying, but at least he pulls out the bar stool for you once he releases his iron grip on your shoulders.

"You know that only works for jobs where you get the weekend off, right?", you insist, one last attempt to get home at a reasonable hour. He's already ordering two bottles of sake. Oh, well. If you can't fight it then you may as well accept it.

Genma has a way with getting people drunk, and within the hour you're both leaning heavily against the bar top - he's flushed red, as he always does.. You nudge him on the arm. "You look boiling. Why not take your jacket off?". You've already done so: yours was covered in dust from today's training anyway, not exactly Friday night attire. At least the long-sleeve beneath is somewhat clean.

He winks at you. "You're a woman. You know how the ladies love a man in uniform."

"Are you blind-?!", you blurt a little louder than intended, spinning on your stool to gesture out at the room, "-it's a bar on the shinobi side of town - half the guys here are wearing the exact same jacket!"

"Which means I've already got an advantage over the other half.", Genma quips, and you glare at him.

"Don't tell me you're going to ditch me to go flirt."

He pats you on the arm. "I wouldn't dream of it. I actually went out last night so I already got-" you intensify your glare and raise a cautionary finger, "...Well, you know. But, hey, that doesn't mean we can't find some romance for you, (name)-chan. That guy over there's been looking at you for twenty minutes."

Genma's voice is sickly sweet, dripping with honeyed glee. You follow his gaze over to the man and barely conceal a shiver. He was a couple of years above you at the Academy, if you remember correctly, and yet he only passed the chuunin exams last year. "Oh, please, no - you're going to have to kiss me to scare him off."

"No offence, but I wouldn't go there.", Genma replies, then sips his sake as if he hasn't just horribly insulted you. It's silly how the comment makes your pride flare - Kami knows you'd never go there either - but you can't help it, especially after alcohol. A reminder seems in order.

"You begged me to be your girlfriend when we were nine, Genma-kun."

He laughs loudly, throwing an arm around your shoulder just long enough to deter the older man. "And I never forgot how you turned me down! Good thing I'm so dashingly handsome, or my ego might never have recovered."

You scoff, half-joking. "Your ego is fine, trust me."

"And yours is fragile tonight.", he responds, gently shrugging his shoulder into you. You instantly shoot him an apologetic look, albeit a little confused - you two have always bantered, but now he sounds uncharacteristically serious. Have you upset him? "...For the record, I totally think you're hot."

You try to smack him on the arm, miss, and hit the edge of the bar instead. Genma bursts into raucous laughter again, so genuine you can't help but join in. "Please don't ever say that again.", you grin, cradling your sore palm.

"Don't worry. I wouldn't want to upset Hatake."

The smile drops off your face, and his widens even further. "No! Don't tell me you know too!". Genma has a reputation for playing matchmaker for his own entertainment, even when neither party is particularly enthused by the idea. You briefly envision him trapping you and Kakashi in a broom cupboard together, or telling Kakashi with all the good intentions in the world how much you like him.

You pluck the senbon from his mouth and wave it threateningly. It takes him a second to register the absence. "Promise me you won't say anything to Kakashi. You know he's more skittish than a deer with things like this.", you insist. Genma swallows, still smirking. "I swear I'll stick this senbon right in your-"

"Alright!", he laughs. "But I do think you guys need to get over yourselves and just confess."

"I agree, Genma."

Oh, brilliant, it's Asuma.

He emerges from the growing crowd, sliding in next to Genma and looking at you sternly. "It's been weeks already since you figured out his feelings. I know you planned to goad him into confessing first, but clearly that isn't working."

Genma slaps an enthusiastic palm onto his knee. "He's right, (name)-chan! I mentioned your name to Hatake on Monday and he choked on air. It isn't right for a grown man to act like that."

"Neither of you get it!", you reply indignantly, and wonder for a moment why you agreed to go drinking with a man who has never had a relationship last longer than a month. "If I just come right out with it so soon - oh, forget it, I need to talk to a woman about this. Asuma, where's Kurenai?"

Asuma, to his credit, barely flinches. "Kurenai? I don't-"

"Don't even try it, I know you're meeting her here-"

Kurenai appears through the door promptly. Genma high fives you without even looking. The best thing about having shinobi friends is that they hear you call them even in a crowded bar; Kurenai swans over with the elegance of a woman who hasn't started drinking yet, squeezes Asuma's forearm by way of greeting, and chuckles at you and Genma.

"Started early, did you two?" You didn't think you looked that bad. But, when you give Genma a good look, you notice that his bandana is lopsided and his drink is dangerously close to tipping out the glass.

"That's my fault, I admit it." Genma admits gleefully, never one for shame.

"Kurenai, help me-", you beg, seizing her hands. Her warm eyes crease with concern. "These stupid, stupid boys don't understand why I can't 'just tell' Kakashi I have feelings for him, rather than playing the long game."

She furrows her eyebrows, giving the boys a good long stare. "How much have you had to drink? It's Kakashi. He'd go back to ANBU before he talks about his emotions." Although Genma scoffs and rolls his eyes, you don't fail to notice how Asuma hums noncommittally when Kurenai looks at him. Fucking traitor.

"Sure, he's ridiculous, but guys just don't respond well to that weird cat-and-mouse thing you've got going.", Genma reasons. You'd take that a lot more seriously if it was anyone other than him saying it.

Kurenai takes the drink that Asuma has ordered for her with a smile. "Say what you will, but I used that same strategy on Asuma here."

Asuma blinks. "...What are you talking about? We had a mature discussion."

"We did-", she nods, sipping her drink and watching him flounder. "After flirting for two months. You would never have confessed so readily if I hadn't laid the groundwork first." Asuma blinks again, then turns back to the bar and asks for something stronger.

"I love you.", you almost sob, dragging her into a hug. Women, Genma mutters as he turns to Asuma; you both ignore him in favour of catching up instead. It's nice to see Kurenai and even nicer to have some girl talk after an hour of Genma, but you're reluctant to keep her for too long when she's with Asuma, so you discreetly point out an empty booth on the far side of the bar after a few moments. Just as they're leaving you, she looks back over her shoulder, and you mouth tell me everything next time.

"Ah, (name), I almost forgot to mention.", Asuma calls. You and Genma both sway dangerously as you spin back around. "Kakashi wanted you to know he's expected back in the village tomorrow." All of a sudden you're filled with the urge to chase after him and grab him and shake him, and shout whatexactlydidhesaytellmetellmetellme- but that's ridiculous, and they're already gone into the crowd, and Asuma wouldn't entertain your Sakura Haruno-like-behaviour anyway.

Genma wolf-whistles, and hands you another drink. You hesitate - you can't handle your alcohol like you used to, and you're not sure if you're keen on Kakashi seeing you hungover. That won't have him in any hurry to confess. Then you remember that you'll probably see - or at least hear - Naruto tomorrow too, and that settles the matter. You drink deeply.

"So, how about you forget to wear a bra tomorrow? If that doesn't push him over the edge, I don't know what will."

Another doodle of jonins ☺️☺️☺️

Include my OC Kurita, yes thats Kurenai and Asuma being Uwu together. My headcanon that Kurita is bestie with Anko and Kurenai (like they’re the only living kunoichi jonin whelp I forgot Shizune, maybe next time) I wanna draw more of the jonins, they need some love too, beside Kakashi of course (I’ve drawn a bunch of him lol).

The long hair Yamato is based on DygoKnight’s naruto rewrite, he scraps Sai out of the picture and made Yamato into a douche lol, but he got his character arch where he turn to liking his team mates Sakura and Naruto. Although I still love my OG Yamato but I do love Yamato keeping his long hair!

Currently writing a spicy Kurenai x female reader NSFW.

Tagging all the characters for visibility sake. Don’t hate me lol.

A/N: I feel like this beauty doesn’t get enough love. I had this concept in mind where the female reader basically lusts for Kurenai to the point where it affects her life which eventually leads to a rather sensual moment. (Bonus: the reader hates Asuma and is jealous of him for being with Kurenai. Should make for some nice drama! Lol)

Should I name the oneshot: ‘Hot for Teacher’, ‘Down Bad’ or ‘Am I Making You Nervous?’

Comment/vote below! And let me know if you wanna be tagged for when it’s posted!🙌

Asuma’s Death

Summary: Rai learns of her friend's death. How will she cope? Can she help her friend navigate mourning the loss of her husband?

Established relationship, character death, hurt/comfort, Kakashi X OC, Asuma X Kurenai

Kakashi X Rai

Rai's post was uneventful so far. The female ANBU had been sitting in a tree where she could keep an eye on the border for several hours.

It became eerily quiet, even the chirping birds were soft. The animals became skittish at the slightest sound, darting for cover the moment something moved. A gentle breeze began to pick up. The scent of rain wafting in on its current.

From behind her okami mask, her brown eyes scanned the tree canopy around her as the leaves moved in the wind. It turned to late afternoon when a presence approached her.

Odd. She wasn't due to be relieved yet. She stilled her chakra, making her presence invisible just in case this was someone else.

A male Anbu in an owl mask leapt next to her. She glanced warily at the male to her right.

"You are being relieved of your duties. Lady Hokage wishes to speak with you." He told her.

With a curt nod, she took off back to the village.

The female ANBU tried to be as quick as she could, but by the time she got to the village, the shadows were long and the sky started to take on a hint of red as the sun approached the horizon.

Rai teleported into the office as soon as she was within range. Taking up a kneeling position, she dropped her head to keep herself from looking at the blonde.

"Stand, Rai." Tsunade told her. Rai obeyed. The blonde sighed. "I think you are going to want to hear this." Leaning forward, Tsunade placed her elbows on the table and interlaced her fingers in front of her mouth. Something was disturbing her, she wasn't normally this quiet with Rai. Rai didn't like how the woman was being short and frank with her. "I'm sorry. Asuma has been killed." Tsunade took a long time to get the words out, her mouth twitched as she tried to hide her sadness.

What?

Rai's brain stopped working for several seconds. As soon as it started back up, it began to ask simple questions. What? How? When? Who?

Then, her mind immediately shot to Kurenai. Her heart broke for her friend. She had just been at their wedding not too long ago. And Kurenai had told her that she was pregnant.

How could this have happened? Rai felt her cold exterior chip as sadness and concern seeped into the cracks that appeared.

"You are dismissed for bereavement." Tsunade told her, leaning back in her chair as she gently patted Tonton on the head. Tsunade turned her chair away so she could look out over the city.

The brief interaction between the two strong kunoichi was probably the nicest and calmest ever. Normally there was yelling and glaring involved.

No time to dwell on that!

Rai shook her head and bowed before disappearing in a puff of smoke.

Rai didn't even bother to change. She teleported out of the Hokage's office and bounded along the rooftops to Kurenai's, taking her mask off along the way.

The orange red glow of the setting sun struck the village as Rai entered the apartment complex, strapping her mask to her belt as she dashed up the stairs and jogged to the end of the hallway. She could hear muffled crying behind the door and a myriad of scents swirled around the entryway.

Raising her left hand, she went to knock. The door knob turned and clicked as it opened to reveal Kakashi. Of course, he would have sensed her. Lowering her hand, she took him in, the sadness evident in his eye. He took a step back and allowed her in.

People crowded Kurenai's apartment. Rai took off her sandals as Kakashi closed the door.

Rai even took off her equipment so she could squeeze in better.

Entering the living room, she saw Kurenai on the couch, curled over and sobbing into her hands. Anko was on her right, arm around her and being supportive.

Letting out a small sigh, some tension released from Rai's body. She could always count on Anko.

A familiar warm hand settled on her right shoulder. Looking to her right, Kakashi stood slightly behind her, his left hand on her shoulder.

Rai took in a shuddered breath. How she wanted to go over and console her. Kakashi's hand slid off her shoulder.

But what could she say? Rai's gaze flicked around the room, scanning who was there.

Iruka, Gai, Shizune, Genma, and several other chunin she had seen in passing.

Kurenai was in good hands.

Rai took a step back, slipping into the back of the group.

Anko glanced up, she saw Rai among the small crowd. When their eyes locked, Anko gave her the smallest nod. She turned back to Kurenai.

It was at this point, Rai noticed dog tags and a hitai-ate in Kurenai's hands.

This slowly broke Rai. The beautiful images of Kurenai and Asuma at their wedding, how happy they looked and all their hopes and dreams, shattered.

Rai found herself fighting back tears as her face fought to keep them at bay. Her brow pinched together as her eyes closed tight.

Again, the large warm hand returned, now on her back right above her shoulder blades.

Rai couldn't hold back the flood, the cracks in the foundation gave way to the water and tears started to leak from her eyes. The large warm hand gently guided her, turning her and tucking her into Kakashi's form. Her head fell to his left shoulder as he gently held her, allowing for her to cry into him.

Rai tried to keep her sobbing quiet.

She had just lost a friend. A good friend. One of the older genin that seemed to be neutral about her at the academy rather than hostile.

He had helped her out when he noticed she was working by herself. He helped her with her accuracy with shuriken and kunai. Even though he was just a genin, he still helped her. His kindness and bright smile always struck her as warm. Even his demeanor seemed to calm the atmosphere around him, seeping into everything and allowing things to relax.

Rai couldn't help her mind drift to her and Kakashi. She compared Kurenai and Asuma to herself and Kakashi. Often the women would chat about their significant other and about goofy things they did, like falling out of bed, or sweet surprises, like bringing home flowers or their favorite meal.

Kakashi gently stroked her back, trying to soothe her. Seeing Rai break down hurt. His brain wasn't the only one going to Kurenai and Asuma's relationship and how Asuma befriended him. Asuma always seemed to look out for Kakashi, even when he didn't feel like he needed it. Asuma always was willing to lend an ear to Kakashi, even when it came to concerns about Rai. It was good to have someone going through similar things to bounce ideas off of.

Asuma supported Kakashi's and Rai's relationship from the moment Kakashi mentioned that Rai said she liked him all the way until after their marriage. Asuma was a good friend, someone to come to for advice. Cause Kakashi had no idea what he was doing. You know Rai best. Just be yourself. His words echoed around in Kakashi's mind.

Kurenai and Rai were two different people. Both women. Kurenai loved gifts, especially flowers. Rai, on the other hand, wasn't materialistic. She preferred spending time with Kakashi over gifts. Where Kurenai and Asuma would go out to eat. Kakashi and Rai would be sitting by the lake or taking a walk.

Asuma would tell Kakashi about things he was planning on doing with Kurenai, probably to see if it gave Kakashi any ideas.

Rai taking a shuddered breath pulled him back from his thinking. He let several tears slip from his right eye. His left was already weeping.

On the other side of the room, Iruka noticed Rai through his tears. He wanted to go greet her, but he didn't want to disturb anyone. As people began to leave, Kakashi and Rai were able to squeeze into the living room.

More people began to trickle out. Several of the chunin left, making room for Kakashi and Rai to sneak in closer. Rai managed to worm her way towards Iruka and received a comforting hug from him.

Rai found herself leaning against the wall behind Iruka as he sat at a table and Kakashi leaned against the wall on her left side.

Iruka was one of the last ones to leave along with Shizune.
