KAKASHI POV
'I've never been the
kind to ever let my feelings show
And I thought that bein' strong
meant never losin' your self-control
But I'm just drunk enough to
let go of my pain
To hell with my pride, let it fall like
rain
From my eyes
Tonight I wanna cry' those words still ran
through my head. That kid that one small kid got to me with a couple
of sad lyrics.
"Kakashi are you okay?" I was shocked out of my thoughts by Sakura asking a bundle of questions.
" Uh. What?" I was out of it today. It's been a week scene the song left his innocent lips yet it still rang through my head. I was still strong enough to over power my life.
" Kakashi the mission is over. Can we go home now?" She asked seeming annoyed. This must not have been the first time she asked.
" Sure you all are dismissed." I watched Sasuke start to walk to the place I had seen him go to time and time again. But only a week ago did I find out its purpose. I had to hear more. This time I would not just hide behind a wall, I would just walk in and listen. The notes he played I would watch leave from his soul to the instrument.
By the time I walked in Sasuke had an acoustic guitar in his hands ready to play. Now was my chance. I was just going to walk in and sit down. I didn't care what he had to say about my percents if it was negative. " You can come in if you want." I heard a whisper come from the room. That was fine too. So I did as told and came in. Sasuke didn't seem to care he just adjusted his music sheets and began to play.
Return to Pooh Corner – Kenny Loggins
"Christopher Robin
and I walked along
Under branches lit up by the moon
Posing our
questions to Owl and Eeyore
As our days disappeared all too
soon
But I've wandered much further today than I should
And I
can't seem to find my way back to the Wood
So help me if you
can
I've got to get back
To the House at Pooh Corner by
one
You'd be surprised
There's so much to be done
Count all
the bees in the hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky
Back to
the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh
Winnie the Pooh doesn't
know what to do
Got a honey jar stuck on his nose
He came to me
asking help and advice
From here no one knows where he goes
So
I sent him to ask of the Owl if he's there
How to loosen a jar
from the nose of a bear
Help me if you can
I've got to get
back
To the House at Pooh Corner by one
You'd be
surprised
There's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the
hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky
Back to the days of
Christopher Robin and Pooh
It's hard to explain how a few
precious things
Seem to follow throughout all our lives
After
all's said and done I was watching my son
Sleeping there with my
bear by his side
So I tucked him in, I kissed him and as I was
going
I swear that the old bear whispered "Boy welcome
home"
Believe me if you can
I've finally come back
To
the House at Pooh Corner by one
What do you know
There's so
much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive
Chase all the
clouds from the sky
Back to the days of Christopher Robin
Back
to the ways of Christopher Robin
Back to the days of Pooh"
" My mom sang it to me when I was little. She told me to never stray to far from the wood. When I did I changed up the first verse and tweaked the course. I also added in a line on the last verse and well this happened." He was looking at me for approval and I couldn't help but smile. This kid like I said was amazing. How he could make songs just flow like that was nothing I could do.
" I have already heard your music once and was amazed. But hearing it a second time…" he flinched thinking it was an insult coming, " well it's like the beginning all over again. I'm still shocked." He smiled at me. This time it wasn't one of his tiny ones you have to use a microscope to find. It was a real all out smile. " Another please." I had to hear more.
"He called her on
the road
From a lonely cold hotel room
Just to hear her say I
love you one more time
And when he heard the sound
Of the kids
laughing in the background
He had to wipe away a tear from his
eye
A little voice came on the phone
And said "Daddy when
you coming home"
He said the first thing that came to his
mind
I'm already there
Take a look around
I'm the
sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the
whisper in the wind
I'm your imaginary friend
And I know I'm in
your prayers
Oh I'm already there
She got back on the
phone
Said I really miss you darling
Don't worry about the kids
they'll be alright
Wish I was in your arms
Lying right there
beside you
But I know that I'll be in your dreams tonight
And
I'll gently kiss your lips
Touch you with my fingertips
So turn
out the light and close your eyes
I'm already there
Don't
make a sound
I'm the beat in your heart
I'm the moonlight
shining down
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there
until the end
Can you feel the love that we share
Oh I'm
already there
We may be a thousand miles apart
But I'll be
with you wherever you are
I'm already there
Take a look
around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the
ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there until the
end
When you feel the love that we share
Oh I'm already
there
Oh I'm already
There."
" What's the story on this one?" I asked politely thinking it might hurt him. He didn't seem fazed. The boy sat there looking at the ground as if wondering how to respond to my question.
" Well when my father went on missions he would always call. My mom and I were the only ones to talk to him. Itachi just sat and watched with a notebook. After the clan died I started to go through some stuff, when I came across the notebook I had to look inside. Itachi never let anyone look in it. When I did I found this song. At the bottom of the last page it said, " For Sasuke." On it so I started to learn it." He looked down again trying to breath. The last verse took a lot out of him. He put more passion into it. My best guess was all that energy was for Itachi. That was Sasuke's way of letting me know he still cared for his brother.
" It's okay if you still love him. Hate is one of the hardest things to build and keep up." Sasuke didn't move. He sat there like stone not doing anything. I was shocked! I thought he would get up and start to scream about how I have no right to say anything of that sort!
" Kakashi?" I looked down to see Sasuke starting at me. " Kakashi you remember 'What Hurts the Most'?" I nodded. " Well right now it hurts really bad." I pulled him into a hug.
" Sasuke I know it hurts. But things will get better I promise. But for now just let it out." Sasuke did what I said and began to cry. We sat like this for forty-five minuets. "Sasuke I'm always here if you need to talk. You know that right?"
" Yes I know. Thanks for listening. Oh and Kakashi?" I looked at him, " Is this going to be common? Me thinking of you as a dad every time I play for you."
" I hope you can see me as one past just when you play." I said. To my surprise Sasuke ran over and gave me a hug.
" Good." I was happy I decided to come to this place after all. Last time he said he was my son, but now I can really feel it. " Kakashi?"
" Uh yes."
" I was wondering. I know you have a really small house, and well I have a lot of extra rooms. I thought that maybe you could…" I put my finger over his mouth, this action made his chubby lips pooch together.
" I would love to move in with you." He smiled and gave me another hug.
" Thanks."
" For what? You're the one who gave me a better place to live."
" Yeah maybe but you saved me from loneliness." That was it a small tear slowly ran down my cheek. Others followed but Sasuke didn't seem to notice my tears, he was to distracted by me holding him in my arms. On our way home we stopped by my house so I could grab some stuff for my room. Sasuke said I shouldn't worry about cooking because over the years he became an amazing cook.
" Good because I suck at it." I replied. Although Sasuke didn't hear me because by the time I responded (we were on the couch.) he was asleep on my lap. I picked him up and brought him to his bed. Once tucked in I pulled down my mask and gave him a kiss goodnight. " Goodnight son."
Before I could leave completely the room I heard a small, " night dad."
A/N: Hey told you there might be more. I won't call it complete but I need to know more songs for Sasuke. Please r&r!!! I need more reviews almost no one does.
