Chapter 3
I awoken with a jolt. It was storming outside. I wasn't used to the weather, being locked up under the ground.
"It's just the thunder. You are alright." Came a voice from the corner of the room. I looked towards the voice to realize it was kakashi. "I realize that now." A small smile played with my lips, "Just not used to the weather being underground and all." "I see" Kakashi looked out the window and pointed to the nightstand, "Sakura brought you robes to wear." I looked down and realized my chest was showing, the wrapping starting to come undone. I quickly grabbed the sheets and pulled them over me. Heat rose through my body as my face probably turned bright red. "Thanks" I said as I crawled out of bed still holding the sheets to me. Kakashi was looking out the window and I crawled out of the bed so the bed was between him and I.
As soon as I put weight onto my legs I fell. Kakashi moved quickly to me putting an arm around me at my waist helping me get up. The blush probably only getting darker and darker. "I'm sorry." I blurted out. "There is nothing to be sorry about. Do you need help putting the robes on or would you prefer to wait till morning when Sakura is here?" "I-i-I think I can do it. My legs must be tired because of all of the running I did." "And taking Naruto's ailments." "Oh yes that too" I nervously laughed. Kakashi helped me sit on the bed, helping me also wrap the blanket around me. He stood there and looked down at me, the moonlight shining on his face highlighting the features on his face behind that damned mask. How badly I wanted to take that thing off and move his headband to reveal all of his face.
I didn't know this man and I wanted to remove some of his clothing already, at least to see his face. The heat on my face was apparent to me and I swore he could see it. Whether he didn't see or did and just didn't say anything to be nice was not obvious to me, but I surely hoped it was the latter.
I pushed off of the bed, my legs thankfully didn't give out but they were shaking a little bit. "You should really get some rest" Kakashi said, ready to catch me. "I really want to walk. I want to show Tsunade that I'm fine. And I really don't want to see my parents in a hospital" I looked at Kakashi with pleading, hopeful eyes. Apparently it worked because he held my hand and let me put a little weight into him as I walked around the room. I walked towards the window to look outside and sat on the window seal.
"Are you warm, Cheegarie? Your face is bright red." He said as he touched his fingertips to my forhead. Being reminded about the blush I looked out the window, letting my hair be a barrier from his eyes, "I'm fine!" I said quickly. "Maybe just over worked a little is all." "Ok if you are sure" replied Kakashi. I got up after a little while and walked around the bed by myself, Kakashi trailing closely behind me. "I want to put my robes on. I think I'll be fine to do it myself." I said with a little confidence. I looked at Kakashi and waved my finger in a circle, signaling him to turn around. When he did turn around I removed the sheets from me leaving me in the cloth that was wraped around my chest and a bare ass. I undid the wrap from my chest and quickly put on the first rob to cover my front leaving my back exposed. The second rob I put on like a jacket, covering my back and tied it in the front.
"All done" I said turning around. Kakashi turned to face me and saw I had successfully put the robes on. I smiled nervously. "You have a beautiful smile" He said almost out of the blue. "Thank you." I said with a bigger smile on my face. "I'm going to get some more rest so I can hopefully get out of here tomorrow, goodnight. And thank you for helping me Kakashi." I said as I crawled into bed. "Goodnight, Cheegarie" Kakashi said as he pulled out a book.
