Chapter 1: Cold Hearted Bastard
Kohana whispered, her voice broken, "I thought that you would have learned something after all these years."
Kakashi hung his head, heavy with guilt, as he forced himself to listen to her.
Kohana continued, easily dismissing Kakashi's defeated appearance. "But, I should have known better that people like you are not worthy of remorse."
Her eyes slowly filled with tears, as she fought to keep her voice strong, determined to convey her message to the boy before her.
"You never understood him. You never saw just how much stronger he was than you. You treated him like trash, insulting him with every word, every gesture."
Kakashi's forehead furrowed as he struggled to hold back his own tears.
Kohana started to shout, hoping that this intensity would mask the tremors in her voice.
"You bastard! You absolute bastard!"
Rin, who along with Minato, witnessing the conversation, had gasped. Minato stepped in, hoping to stop Kohana before she went too far.
"Kohana, that's enough."
The black haired girl ignored him, piercing Kakashi with steely eyes, "I wish you had died instead, because the world doesn't need scum like you."
"Kohana!", Rin voiced, her expression pained. "He came back for us."
Kohana had turned away from Kakashi, her resolve finally breaking, as she sobbed. She pushed past the brown haired girl, not wanting to hear anymore excuses. To her, Kakashi was nothing more than a cold-hearted bastard.
