THE WOUND'S STILL BLEEDING

Summary;

Kakashi is a girl. Even if her exterior says another thing, even if there's still a penis every time she looks down her legs. It's not okay, it's not alright. She knows it's not exactly common. Her attitude isn't one like a girl though, so it's not really a problem to hide it from the rest. It's just, that she really is one. She wants to be seen as one. And as time passes, maybe her body can be something more than just an object to accomplish missions. Maybe it can be different. Maybe it can change. For the time being, Kakashi will try. Even if her father is not there anymore, even if her heart has betrayed her and has fallen in love. Because Kakashi's a girl despite her wrong body and her less-than-delicate attitude. And as she has heard Kushina say a million times; girls don't just give up.

Author's Note;

Okay, so I alert you all here. First of all, English is not my mother tongue so basically, there will have lots of grammatical errors and simple phrases — because really what do you expect? I'm not an expert here. So, once this has been said, the updates will be slow. I mean, I don't have all the time in the world and this is not the only thing I do with my life, even if I don't do much with it at all. And finally, please, enjoy this fanfic and fangirl over Kakashi and Obito, they're worth it.

Love y'all,

Chapter I

Where The Realization Comes

The first time she says she's a girl, she's four, and she has asked her father if he would be willing to buy her a mask. They're sitting on the sofa, relaxing after a training session that was a little harder than the ones she is accustomed to.

"Oh?" He inquires. "Why would you want to wear a mask, Kakashi?" He asks.

And she stays silent for a while, and answers the question truthfully —because she would never, ever, lie to her father—. That doesn't mean it's easy, though.

"Because my face is wrong." She says. And when he demands more explanation, she breathes and answers. "Because my face is a boy's face," she pauses. "and I'm a girl."

So Sakumo sort-of panics, because now he doesn't have a son anymore, because he has never had a son but instead he has a daughter, and he has been referring to her as a son, and he doesn't really understand why Kakashi feels like he—she's a girl, and he really wants to, because he knows that Kakashi would have his—her mother's support were she alive, and it's confusing as hell, but he will try. Because his daughter is a genius, and he knows that Kakashi would only be this certain at something she knows for sure, so yes, he now has a daughter.

(Has always had.)

And Kakashi doesn't really know why is such a big deal —she can see the thoughts running through her father's mind—, but she understands that it's not normal, that even if she's a girl the others will always view her as a boy because her body it's wrong.

After that, her father uses feminine pronouns, and though he asks pointless questions like would you like to wear a skirt and do you want a doll —because she's never wanted to wear a skirt before, and she has never asked for a doll, why would she start now, really— and calls her Kashi-chan which is embarrassing enough, she's happy that her father has accepted her.

It makes her smile a little more.

(Her body is still wrong, though.)

(Sometimes it hurts.)
