《Anime One Shots Book 1》Kakashi X Reader (Naruto) {Let Me Help You, I'm Your Husband After All}
Advertisement
Not tonight. This will not happen again. Kakashi is finally back and he's happy. I will not mess that up.
"Hey (y/n)?" Kakashi called from the hallway. He smiled once he saw me, "you must be tired." He said, placing his ring on his nightstand.
I nodded and did the same thing, "yeah its about time you got back. You had to leave after we got married."
He frowned and walked over to me, pulling me into his embrace, "I know and I'm sorry."
I held him just as tight, "I'm not mad at you, no need to apologize."
"Then why did you start bitching?" He asked.
I hid my face in his chest, "just frustrated. That's all."
Or you know, you finding out that I am a complete total freak show.
We stayed up a bit longer talking before he fell asleep. Leaving me in a pitch black room. I laid on my back, trying to look around the room to make sure that no one was there. The room was filled with the sound of rain hitting the roof.
The more rain hitting the roof, the louder the noise got, the more nervous I became. I glanced over at Kakashi's sleeping form. From what I could see, he was at peace. No freaking out for him.
The next thing that happened, the next thing I saw was blood. Blood all over the sheets and Kakashi was still fast asleep. I blinked and it was gone.
I was stabbed, shot and had an arrow though my heart. I started shaking.
"This isn't real," I whispered, "this isn't happening."
The rain stopped. All noise was gone. My eyes slowly shut and I was off in dreamland once again.
----
I woke up the next morning and found the sun in my eyes. I sat up and looked out the window.
New day, new morning, afternoon and another night to get scared.
Glancing over at Kakashi, only to find out that he's still asleep. We had a place outside of the main part of the village, it was nice and quiet. There wasn't any other houses for a good distance. I moved over to the window to let in more sunlight. It was a nice spring morning and all flowers were staring to pop up from the ground.

At least in the morning, nothing can hurt me. There's no way something can get me.
I felt someones arms wrapped around my shoulders, close to my neck. I jumped and tried getting away.
"(y/n)! Calm down, it's me! Kakashi!"
I stopped moving, looking up at him. Shit.
We stood there for a moment until I just laughed it off. "Sorry about that! You scared me." I said laughing, knowing that he wouldn't take this lightly.
"What's going on?" He asked, releasing me from his hold.
I shrugged and walked off to get changed. "What do you mean? You scared me, that's all."
"I do that all the time and you've never jumped before."
"I was thinking, that's all." I replied, heading into the kitchen and then out the door. He called after me but I was already down the long dirt road.
I took an easier mission today. Trying to avoid getting home at night. If anything I wanted to stay as far away from there.
This is gonna pass. Just like last time. It's not gonna stick around much longer.
They ended up giving me a day mission. Meaning it took until the sun went down. Only Kurenai knows about what ever the hell is going on with me.
We were roommates a few years ago, before Kakashi and I started dating. She moved out to live with Asuma and after that we still would hang out. Hell we would even double date sometimes.
She only knows about this because one night to was way to real. Tears streaming down my faces and sobs racked my body. It was the first and last time she ever saw me cry. I started screaming, forgetting where I was. Hiding underneath my desk, Kurenai knocked on my door. I was still screaming and sobbing. She came in after picking the lock and held me close. She found one of my knifes and handed them to me, while still keeping one hand on it.
"It's okay, you're safe. I will not hurt you. We're friends and I won't do that to you." She told me in a calm voice.
"They're killing me!" I screamed trying to get away from her. She held me down and said, "no one but you and I are here. I promise. They would have been gone when I got in here." I calmed down after a few minutes. "Please..." I said, "please don't tell anyone about this." She nodded her head, "as long as you're safe, I won't. But when the right person comes along I will tell them."

I closed the front door of our house. Kakashi was sitting on the coach waiting for me. I went into the kitchen and he followed me. "Are we gonna talk about it?" He asked.
"When are you such a girl?" I asked, opening my bottle of soda.
He chuckled, "really? That's how you want to do this?"
I shrugged, "all I did was ask a question."
"Why did you freak out so much this morning?" He asked.
I didn't answer, walking right passed him and into the bedroom.
"We're a team now (y/n). You have to trust me with stuff." I shook my head and changed clothes, and walked passed him to get to the bathroom. After brushing my teeth and coming back out of the bathroom, he was still standing in the same spot.
He sighed and climbed into bed. "You need to trust me." He said, "Kurenai told me, you know. She passed by you on your way to get your mission."
I frowned and climbed into bed, laying on my side to face away from him. "She told me that you hate letting people see that you're 'weak', even though you're not."
After a few minutes he sighed and said, "this isn't over. You know I won't give up that easily." He whispered, "good night, I love you." Before drifting off to sleep.
I stayed awake once again. This time it was the same but a little more. Getting stabbed again and again along with getting shot. Kakashi was still sound asleep this time too. No place to hid, I laid flat on my back and wished it would all go away.
Then again, when is anything that easy.
I started shaking uncontrollably. First it was my hands, then my feet which moved my legs. This caused the whole bed to shake and of course woke up Kakashi.
He sat up and looked over at me. I was curled up into the smallest ball I could mange, breathing heavily. Doing my best not to scream, keeping my tears in check and trying to noe make things worse.
He stared at me for a moment, user of what to do. He pulled me onto his chest and I pushed him away. "Stay away from me." I said in the most cold tone I could manage without letting out a sob.
He pulled me onto him again but this time he fell onto the bed. "I'm going to protect you." He said, "this is the only way that I know how to at this moment. You're gonna have to trust me. Nothing is going to hurt you. Not me, Naruto, Kurenai or Obito. I told you on the day we got married that I would protect you with or without your support."
I was still breathing heavily and sobs were getting closer to escaping. "This is not a weakness. This is something that you have to face. And God knows how long you've had to face it alone. But I'm here now and I will do whatever it takes to keep you calm and help you sleep. Don't do this all by yourself. Let me be here for you when you need to talk about it. I need you to talk about it and not keep it all in."
After a few minutes after he said that, one sob came out. Then another and another. I stopped shaking but sobs still racked though my body. "I'm sorry." I tried to say, balling up his shirt with my fist. "I'm so sorry for being a bitch."
He pulled me even closer to him, "no need to apologize."
I shook my head and buried it into his chest. His arms were wrapped tightly around my figure. After I calmed down, I drifted off to sleep. Knowing that I would be safe in Kakashi's arms.

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.
