Undeserving
Hatake Kakashi didn't think he deserved his name.
His father was a legendary ninja.
The White Fang's enemies cursed him while his comrades worshipped him.
That was until his father committed suicide and left him with nothing but an empty house and a pack of stinky nin dogs.
Hatake Kakashi didn't think he deserved his team.
After all, Obito gave him his eye; Rin gave him her heart; Minato sensei gave him his life.
In return, he gave them nothing.
He just stood and watched as they perished one by one like a candle in the wind.
Hatake Kakashi didn't think he deserved his students.
Sasuke went rogue, Naruto almost died and Sakura cried her eyes out.
He failed them time and time again and he wondered why he'd passed them in the first place.
So he didn't protest when his students chose to pursue apprenticeship under greater teachers than he was.
Hatake Kakashi didn't think he deserved his lovers.
His body was the only thing he could offer them - nothing more, nothing less.
He couldn't give them the luxury of love and attention that they craved from him and he wasn't always there when they needed him most.
So he wasn't surprised at all when they all dumped him and accused him of being the biggest jerk in their life.
In fact, Hatake Kakashi didn't think he deserved anything at all.
When a very drunk Sakura turned up at his doorstep one night and confessed that she loved him, he didn't believe her at first.
He didn't believe himself either when he didn't immediately push her away when she started kissing him.
Her kiss was sloppy and inexperience but it evoked something in him that he has long forgotten.
That he was flesh and blood; not just a tool or weapon of his village.
Even if he didn't deserve her love, he deserved to have feelings. For her. For anyone he cared for.
With that, Kakashi gingerly pulled away from his former student, muttered an apology and knocked her unconscious before he carried her back to her home.
When she wakes up the next morning, he knew she would be so mad at him that she might crack his nuts with her furious fist.
Yet somehow he is okay with that.
Because for once, Hatake Kakashi thinks he deserves it.

A/N: Just a little ficlet that I wrote when I'm bored and alone in my house. I think I probably read too much KakaSaku fic to come up with this one. Anyway, I hope you enjoy reading it.
