"What happened?" Kakashi asked as he sat up in his hospital bed. He couldn't remember anything. Something moved in the opposite corner and he turned to see what it was.
Naruto stretched and yawned. They had stood watch in the room all night. He turned to look at Sakura in the chair next to him, the blanket around her falling to the floor as she shifted in her sleep. He picked it up and covered her back up, smiling. Naruto caught a bit of movement out of the corner of his eye and went to draw a kunai before he realized who it was.
"Oy, so you're awake sensei." Naruto said removing his hand from the holster on his belt and stretching.
Kakashi stared at the blonde haired boy across the room.
"M-minato?" he asked in confusion.
"Oh yeah, Grandma Tsunade said you might not remember much." Naruto said wearily, "God I hate when that woman is right."
"T-tsunade…" Kakashi said in partial recognition.
"Yeah," Naruto said nodding, "Hm… oh sensei, would you like some tea?"
Kakashi nodded at the strange boy as he opened the door. Naruto went to leave but bumped into someone.
"Ow… what the…" Naruto smiled brightly, "Iruka-sensei! Are you here to see Kakashi-sensei?"
The chuunin scratched the bridge of his nose where a scar ran clear across it.
"Hey Naruto." He said, "Yeah is he awake yet?"
Naruto grinned and nodded
"Yep!" then he pouted, "He doesn't remember me though."
The older man ruffled the boy's hair affectionately.
"Don't worry Naruto, you're an unforgettable shinobi." Iruka said smiling.
Naruto smiled.
"Oh I almost forgot the tea! Excuse me sensei." Naruto said.
Iruka stepped out of the way and let the boy run to get the tea. He walked into and smiled at Sakura sleeping in the chair, and then he walked over to the blinds opening them to let more light in.
Iruka smiled at the older man.
"Hello sensei." He said quietly.
Kakashi rubbed his eyes, not expecting the light that suddenly flooded the room. Iruka tilted his head, his big brown eyes shining happily.
"Yo." Kakashi said groggily, "Are you trying to blind me?"
"Oops, sorry sensei. I forgot you like dark places." Iruka said with a slight chuckle, "You feeling any better?"
Kakashi nodded slightly.
"Besides the fact I can't remember anything except my team I'm perfect." He said dully.
"Y-your team?" Iruka said startled, "Wait you mean you remember Naruto?"
"Who?"
"The kid." Iruka said.
Kakashi shook his head.
"He looks a lot like Minato-sensei," he said, "but other than that I don't know him."
Naruto walked back in carrying a tray with four cups of tea. He sat the tray down and the room went completely silent aside from Sakura mumbling in her sleep.
"Here you go sensei." The young chuunin said handing a cup to Kakashi.
"Arigatou." He said happily accepting the tea.
Naruto smiled and handed a cup to Iruka.
"Thanks Naruto." Iruka said ruffling the boy's hair.
Kakashi watched the younger man and his student. He felt a pang of something in his gut but he didn't know what it was. Was it guilt because he didn't remember the boy or was it something else entirely?
Naruto walked over and shook Sakura's shoulder.
"Miss Cherry," he said teasing her, "wake up Miss Cherry!"
Suddenly the boy was sent flying across the room and into a medicine cabinet.
"I TOLD YOU NEVER TO CALL ME THAT YOU LITTLE PUNK!" Sakura yelled.
Kakashi blinked.
"Wow, she's got quite the temper." He said.
"Hai sensei, you're awake." The pink haired girl said bowing slightly.
Naruto shoved a cup of tea into her hands.
"Here crazy woman." He said.
The girl glared at him angrily.
"Uzumaki, I'm going to kill you!" she yelled. Sakura went to jump at Naruto just as Kakashi appeared between them. She froze.
"S-sensei…" Naruto stuttered, "You should stay in bed."
The silver haired man turned his head slightly; Naruto could tell he was smiling under his mask.
"No worries." Kakashi said.
"Milady will not be happy." Sakura mumbled.
"YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT I'M NOT HAPPY!" Tsunade yelled from the doorway, "KAKASHI HATAKE, GET YOUR ASS BACK IN BED!"
Kakashi turned to look at the furious woman. He smiled again, his hetero-colored eyes shining.
"Sorry Tsunade-sama." He said.
Tsunade blinked then sighed.
"Alright you can stay up. Just don't pass out on us ok?" the Hokage said smiling lightly, "But you have to let Sakura look at the cuts."
Tsunade looked at Sakura; she'd turned a bright red.
"M-milady?" Sakura said quietly.
Tsunade laughed.
"Ok I'll look at them then." She said still laughing.
Naruto smiled.
"Yay! Kakashi-sensei will be out of here in no time!" he said.
Iruka looked at Tsunade.
"Milady may I have a word with you?" Iruka asked.
Tsunade nodded and motioned for him to follow her. Kakashi watched them leave out of the corner of his eye.
"H-hey sensei?" Naruto said.
"Hm. You mean me?" Kakashi asked smiling.
Naruto blinked, he'd forgotten that Kakashi didn't remember much. He nodded.
"Do you want to get some ramen?" he asked.
Kakashi nodded.
"Sounds good."
