My Favorite Mistake

Chapter One: Sound Of Silence.

Green eyes stared forward as she walked forward into the village. Her hands tied in front of her with chakra ropes making it impossible for any type of escape. She glanced behind her to where Naruto was standing. On his back draped the unconscious Uchiha. She cranked her head around more to get a good view of Karin who was watching Sasuke with worried eyes. She opened her mouth to speak to the read head. Wanting to give her words of encouragement but decided against it.

She turned back to stare forward her green eyes glaring at the back of Kakashi. Someone who used to be important to her. It was amazing how so much had changed after so little time. She thought for sure he would yell at her. Do something other than give her the silent treatment. It was killing her. She never realized how loud the silence could be. She closed her eyes, it wasn't until the familiar sting reminded her how tired and how little sleep she had gotten since they left the base three days ago.

Three days of silence. She let out a gasp as her foot landed in a pot hole in the middle of the road. A loud snap and the searing pain that surged through her body let her know her ankle was broken. Her eyes widened as the dirt road came closer and closer until she was safe in warm arms. She instantly stiffened from the contact. She looked up slowly until her eyes landed on the lone gray eyes. "Are you okay?"

Finely. After days of nothing. There it was. His voice. She glared at him before pushing away from him and falling backwards. "Don't touch me," she bit before landing flat on bum. Kakashi sighed before getting a good look at her. He finally got a good look at her face and her eyes. That was all he needed to see. She was no longer the woman he remembered. She wasn't this funny confident happy person she used to be. Now standing in front of him was a girl he didn't even know. The pain that she had gone through was written across her face.

His eyes moved from her sad eyes to her now longer hair. It reminded him of her hair when she was a genin. His eyes drifted down her neck line which was covered in dirt and then wondered down her dirty dress. Her skin was a sickly pale white that reminded him of something transparent and not the silky color she used to be. His eyes landed on her ankle that she was pushing back into place. His eye widened when they landed on her feet. Her white fabric shoes were covered in mud and blood. "Take of your shoes," He demanded.

"Fuck off Kakashi. You want to talk to me now? Go fuck yourself." She hissed at him through clenched teeth.

Kakashi growled in annoyance. He was breaking inside. Everything was falling apart for him. He wanted so badly for things to be okay but they weren't. They never would be. He would never get the life with her that he wanted. She was right there! Right I front of him for gods sakes. But yet it was like she was a million miles away.

"Sakura…" he tried to reason with her.

"No! I'd rather just go back to the silence Kakashi." Kakashi moved forward.

"Just stop it! Leave her alone!" Karin yelled out. Kakashi froze. He let out a loud sigh. He ran a hand through his hair.

"We'll stop here for the night," he finally said. "Anko. Sai. I'd like you two to report to Tsunade-sama this journey is taking longer than we expected,"

Anko turned to Sai and with a nod the two were gone. Naruto stood in his spot unsure of what to do next. He closed his eyes and looked away from his two teammates who were glaring at each other. He bit his lip. Why did all of this have to happen! If the Akatsuki never would have attacked… everything would have gone according to plan…

"Are you sure?" Naruto asked. He stood shell shocked in his apartment. Kakashi stood in front of him looking more nervous than he had ever seen his sensei.

"I don't think I've ever been more sure of something in my life," The silver haired man whispered before placing his glass in the sink. "I know she's the one. I would give everything to love her," he let out a loud sigh before turning around a leaning against the counter top.

Naruto smiled looking up from the large scroll that was laid out on his kitchen table. "Well you know what they say. Love is never a choice." Naruto laughed. "I wouldn't be nervous Kakashi. I'm sure Tsunade would even approve of you."

Kakashi smiled. "Well… I can only hope she loves me too,"

Blue eyes watched the pinkette as she moved to sit under a surrounding tree. Karin quickly moved to her and started to look over her cuts. Naruto sighed. "Ero-senin?" Jiraya turned to look at his student. "Can you lay down the blanket for me?"

Jiraya smiled goofily before pulling out a blanket from Naruto's bag that he'd been carrying. Placing the blanket down Naruto quickly set Sasuke down on in before moving away from his best friend.

"Kakashi…" Naruto overheard Jiraya. He glanced to the side to watch the older men. Jiraya's arm wrapped around Kakashi's shoulder. "The bravest thing men can do is love women. They never said it would be easy," Kakashi nodded trying not to show the heart break that was written across his well masked face.
