"Hnnnnn….."
Kakashi groggily opens his eyes then quickly shutting it back from the bright light, then slowly, he opens his eyes to find that what he saw was not the pale white ceiling of a hospital room, but a rather pale yellowish one
"Huh…. I'm in my room…."
Kakashi then recalls a few moments before he blacked out, ninjas battling, cries of his name, and flowing green hair.
"Hanare…?"
She was in the battle with him, to be honest, Kakashi has never seen her so…. furious before, her eyes were blazing with hatred. She was outrage, every blow to the enemy was sharp and merciless. He scratched the back of his head and looked down to find his wounds bandaged nicely.
"What….? Who….?"
The first person that came into his mind was Hanare.
"Hmm?"
Slowly, Kakashi made his way to the door, groaning slightly at the sharp pain in his abdomen. He walked to the living room to find a certain green haired woman sleeping on the couch. Kakashi breathed out in relief, he was about to walk there when he felt a sudden draught on his face and spotted a cloth laying on the ground. He glimpsed at his bare face on the Tv screen.
"Did she see my face?'
Kakashi thought while bending down to pick up the cloth, "Hnn.." He groaned and ignored the pain growing in his stomach.
Hanare frowned at the sounds and slowly opened her eyes, "Hnn…. Kakashi?"
Kakashi slapped the cloth over his mouth just in time.
"Ahh… Heh… uh Hana-argh!"
"Careful! Or your wounds will bleed!"
Hanare quickly helped him on to the couch,
"AISH you idiot! Your wounds just got treated, so you can't move too much or you'll reopen the stiches!"
"Ahhhh gomen gomen…" His voice was a little muffled from the cloth "Urmm… Hanare?"
"Hmm…?" Hanare responded while checking his bandages.
"In the drawer at my desk, there is a black mask, can you get it for me?"
"Errr… okay."
"Oh and one more thing…"
"Huh?'
"You're pressing a little too hard on my stomach…." Kakashi groaned a little.
Hanare looked down to find her hands pushing down on his abdomen.
"AAHHH GOMEN GOMEN!"
Kakashi chuckled, his eyes curving upwards.
"I'll… go get the mask."
Hanare blushed and ran to his room.
"Ahh… So cute… wait, what?"
Kakashi finds himself thinking more and more of her lately.
"That's weird…"
He shook his head, trying to shake the compliments he had for her which are most likely, not suitable to say to a friend, out of his head.
After Hanare gave him the mask she went to get dinner, luckily they are still warm.
"Here, eat up."
"Wooowww… you can cook?"
"…Duh."
"Wait, that means he has to remove his mask to eat." Hanare thought, and a sly thought formed in her mind. "Maybe if I just take a peek…."
"Hey look a flying turtle!"
"What?" Hanare turned her head.
"Hey you lied what flying-"
On the coffee table lies the empty bowl that used to contain ramen.
"What…?"
"That was delicious Hanare." Kakashi smiled.
"Uhh… Thanks…." Hanare was still confused .
"Why flying turtles?"
"How did he eat so fast?'
"Can turtles fly?"
"Maybe he eats flying turtles."
Hanare thought mindlessly while shoving ramen into her mouth, sometimes missing a little and getting some soup on the corners of her mouth.
Kakashi saw this and didn't deny what he was thinking.
Hanare looked really adorable.
He smiled and said: "Hanare,"
"…. Oh, huh?"
"You've got something on your…" He gestures to the corners of his masked lips.
"What" Where?" Hanare wiped her mouth, but the stain is still there.
"Here.."
Kakashi reached out and wiped the stain for with his thumb, caressing her cheeks while at it."
"Wow, her cheeks are really soft.."
Kakashi locked his gaze with her and cupped her face, caressing her cheeks with his thumb. Suddenly, he realized what he was doing and quickly drew back.
Her face began to turn red.
"Ahh… sorry about that…"
"Nevermind..." Hanare smiled, but her cheeks were still tinted pink.
Suddenly Kakashi had an urge to bend down and kiss her.
"NO stop!" Kakashi instructed himself.
Hanare looked at the clock to find that it's past 9 o'clock.
"I should probably be going now."
"You sure? You want me to accompany you?"
"Dude, with your condition, you'll die if a punch lands on your body."
"Well then the Guardian of Life will come and save me."
"Don't be silly!" Hanare giggled.
"You sure you'll be fine?" Kakashi's eye flashed with worry.
"Yes Dad, who was the one that carried you all the way here?."
"A flying whale."
"YAH Baka!" Hanare was in fits of giggles.
Kakashi smiled.
After helping Kakashi back to his room. Hanare brushed imaginary crumbs off her pants.
"Well I should get going, remember, don't move too much."
"Yes Mom." Kakashi eyes lazily scanned Hanare's face.
Hanare's lips twisted into a smile.
