It feels good... with my eyes closed, I can feel the sunlight's warmness caressing me, the sound of the lake's calm water relieving me, and the voice of the woods behind us. I also like the beauty I can see when I open my eyes.. the pure sky above, the slow and smooth movement of white clouds that resemble sweet cotton candies, floating at unreachable height as tempting the desires of my lost childhood, the crystal blue of the lake, that seems to be pulled and pushed continuously, calls me to come inside and let my pains be washed away, the whirl of green leaves flying as lost in the vast emptiness of the nature takes my soul flying across the world in a glimpse of time... But after all, the most wonderful nature's creation I see, is Rin's sleeping face; her gently closed eyes, her cute little nose, her slightly opened mouth and soft lips, her chest going up and down as she slowly breathes... for me, is the best gift life has given to me, the only friend who's still alive, treasure I'd give my life to protect, the proof that makes me sure about the existence of a God who created all these wonders surrounding me, and the person who has taught me the deep meaning of what people call love.. As I was spacing out, busy with my own deep and quite sentimental thoughts, Rin slowly woke up.
"Kakashi..."
"Say..."
"May I see your face?"
"I think you've asked that same question before.."
"Are you gonna give me the same answer as before..?"
"Why should I take off my mask in front of you if it has been hiding my face from everyone for the past 13 years..?"
"I just wanted to see your face.. I just realized I've never seen your smile.."
"Sorry, but the answer is still no... "
"Okay then,,,
Suddenly, she came up close and kissed me without minding the thin mask that was isolating my lips from the world.
,,,bye~ I need to go back now, thanks for being so kind and caring ^^"
as if she was embarrassed for what she just did, Rin vanished from her place, leaving me alone.. I'd be lying if I said I didn't blush..
What's wrong with her..? and what's wrong with me? I feel hot all of a sudden.. okay no time for this, back to work... I should be with Azuma by now.. I better hurry.
