Promise 2
Kakashi awakened to the smell of medicine and the sound of monitoring machines. He kept his heavy eyelids closed, his entire body felt numb.
" You awake huh? Stop pretending."
"That voice…it must be…"
Kakashi opened his eyes, the blinding white hospital ceiling is the first to greet him. "Tsunade-sama…" he tries to get up but his body feels to weak.
"Brat, what did you get yourself into this time? Look at yourself! You're a mess!" the woman shouted at him.
Kakashi couldn't help but snicker, it was fun making the Hokage mad. Then it hit him.
"How's my team?" he croaked, his throat felt like they were fried but he still tried to speak.
"Always putting your team first…they're fine except that their worried sick about you. I would be more about you." Tsunade mumbled irritated.
"KAKASHI-SENSEI!" Konoha's orange ninja burst through the doors along with a pink haired girl and raven haired boy.
"What happened to you back there? You suddenly screamed and then the ghost- YOUCH!" a fist fell onto Naruto blond head.
"Quiet you baka! This is a hospital! Besides Kakashi sensei doesn't need you blabbering mouth right now!" The pink haired girl remarked as she sent a death glare towards her blond team mate.
"What happened?" the Uchiha boy asked the silver haired man.
"Well, I'm not sure exactly, my head's pretty hazy and…" the man in the bed started breathing raspy again. His student's looked at him with worry as he started breathing normally again.
" Questions later. The three of you get out of this room. Kakashi needs rest and you, Hatake, have some explaining to do." Tsunade ordered as all of them left the room.
"Sensei! Don't worry we'll be back later!" Naruto said with a grin.
Kakashi inwardly smiled but he knew he was in deep trouble. He closed his eyes, worry causing him unease. He knew what had happened to him but was it right to tell them?
He didn't know what to do and he wished that he could return to the dreamless sleep before but memories kept running in his head.
Obito… Rin… Sensei… What do I do?
"What do we do now? Ahhh Let's go to Ichiraku's!" Naruto jumped up and down in excitement as his two teammates sighed at his behaviour. The three young shinobi were walking through the village but there was no one to be seen.
"Hmmm? Where's everyone?" Naruto asked out loud. The three felt the tension around them and set out to investigate. Sasuke activated his sharingan and scanned the area.
"There! There's a huge mass of chakra coming from the forest's edge!" He said. The three quickly went into action and jumped from roof to roof.
The villagers were cheering. Some were even shedding tears of joy. The whole village was at the border. The three jounin's stared wide eyed. The sight in front of them was impossible to them.
Could this really be?...
