Zet-su-mei Se-kai : Pronounced Zet - Sue - May Say - Ki

I have exams, it's actually a miracle that I finished this. My bad if they're any mistakes.


You know...I'm not always going to be around to help you.

When someone relies on someone else, the feeling they get when they are around them warm their hearts. That someone may need them, but they may not need you.

Common Problems

Infants who are just a few weeks old display differences between each other in how active they are, how responsive they are to change, and how irritable they are. Some infants cry constantly while others seem happy and stay fairly quiet.

When you Sleep

Nightcore

She felt the callouses at the very tips of his fingers, she didn't need to see them to know they were there, she felt them. Her father, Zetsumei Natsu, a tall man that looked as if he could have been the most evilest villain in the world but had the kindest heart Sekai had ever known, held her close.

The two of them watched Sekai's mother, Nao, work on the small garden at the corner of their clans land. The others of the clan were inside celebrating the Easter season while the three choose to be outside instead.

"Aren't you two going to help me?" Nao teased waving a small shovel in the air, her deep green hair mussed and tangled.

"You can carry an Ox, Hun," Natsu chuckled, "You don't need our help unless that plant is a vicious bloodthirsty demon."

"Ha ha," Nao muttered with a lighthearted glare before she smiled at her daughter, "Sweetheart, go inside and wash up you have dirt on your hands. Wouldn't want you having your hands like that when the others come."

"Okay Mama," Sekai muttered softly, standing up when her father gently patted her back with a soft smile, "I'm fine father."

"Can't blame a man for wanting to over love his child," Natsu retorted, smiling softly when Sekai nodded and walked back inside their traditional home.

"You can't keep being that way," Nao spoke whipping the dirt onto a rag, "You know it'll do nothing for her."

Natsu turned his head towards his wife, eyes narrowed and mouth a thin line, "Don't speak that way about her. Saying it like you have no hope for her."

"I don't really know what hope is anymore," Nao muttered, huffing to stand on her feet, "I'm sure she won't either."

They stood in silence, merely staring at each other before Nao turned away sharply with a glare, face heated red and cheeks puffed.

"She's a cursed child."

"What I am is not a curse," Natsu hissed at his wife, standing to his full height. His eyes were narrow, flashing a deepening black and red before it vanished.

"Your right," Nao agreed without hesitance, "But she's a half-er, she can't control it no matter what you try to tell her or show her. It's better to stop now."

I don't want to be a monster, I just want to be normal.

The Hokage had ordered that the two go out and spend some time together, he called it bonding time.

Kakashi didn't have much to complain about, his schedule didn't demand his attention and his pupils were out training to prepare for the upcoming Chūnin exams.

It turns out, one team of Kakashi's did have what it took to become great ninjas. The best part in it all was the unbelievable differences in their personalities. Kakashi just couldn't believe that they were a team.

"Don't take too long," Kakashi voiced walking at a steady pace in front of the short legged girl, "Hokage-sama only said we had to spend time together." Kakashi smirked from behind his mask, "He didn't say how much time."

Stay with me, this is all I need. Please.

Sekai didn't speak but the curves of her lips deepened more. The more they walked, the more Sekai could feel the eyes behind her head, watching her like a hawk.

The people of Konoha weren't the kind of people who kept their thoughts to themselves. They often voiced everything they thought.

"Strange girl. Must not be normal. Nowadays you just can't trust a person, you'll never know if they'll be as sweet as a pickle but then kill you in an instant."

"I understand." Sekai choose to murmur, her eyes finding their way to the person who made that comment only to find her glaring at her.

Sekai grimaced before turning her head around to hide her face behind her long green tinted hair.

"This is a famous Dango shop in Konoha." Kakashi mentioned when they entered into a small shop with a blue sign that spelt out 'Dango.'

"I wasn't exactly sure what you liked and this is the only other place that has edible food in Konoha." He continued moving to sit in the booth farthest from everyone else even if there weren't lots of people. "Not many people come here anyways so it'll be nice and quiet."

And Naruto won't convince Sakura and Sasuke to come in here. He'll be too busy wanting Ramen. Kakashi thought letting out a sigh filled with relief.

He wasn't really ready for his special, if he had to put it nicely, team to find out about the girl he had to take in. He wasn't even ready to come to terms with it either.

The child was strange, in every sense of the word.

Sekai bit her lip, the frown on the corners of her mouth gone only to be brought back, "I don't eat sweets."

Kakashi huffed internally, everything he did, she did the opposite. She was aggravating him to the point that he ended up being even more late for training, more than usual.

"Only just a few days and you've already managed to be an outcast, at this rate people will call you a mons-"

You realize a lot of things when you stop for a while.

Kakashi froze watching the young girls face twist into something he had seen a long time ago in the reflection of clear crystal water, Sorrow.

Pressing his lips into a thin line Kakashi turned his head away from her, instead watching the owner place the serving of Dango he ordered. Kakashi knew he wouldn't eat it, he only wanted the Hokage to stop making him spend time with the girl.

"It's alright." Sekai assured him with a nod, "I've heard it before. It's no different if you say it."

"You know the risks you're taking, Sister." Sekai's aunt blurted out watching her sister pack her clothing into a small bag.

She and her husband had both decided that they would run before the Konoha ANBU could find them and get to Sekai first.

"Don't you think I know that?!" Nao hissed spinning around to face her older sibling, the sibling she had looked up to all her life.

"Then come with me," Akira begged her sister, hands clasped together and face twisted into a smile, "We'll get out of this together just like we've always done."

"I can't leave my child, Akira." Nao sobbed covering her eyes with her hand, the panic and pressure of having to run away and face more troubles taking its toll on her.

"It's not as hard as it seems, sister." Akira assured her, "It's as easy as one, two, three."

"Forget about it." Kakashi spoke turning his head back to face her.

Sekai rubbed her fingers together and nodded silently before opening her mouth again, "I watched my mother leave me."

"My family left me too." Kakashi piped up unwaveringly.

"My father died after that, my mother was next." She stared him in the eyes with a hardened face, "My aunt was said to have killed him, then herself. I have no one."

"Never the less, I feel the pain. I can never forget." Sekai ended their conversation there, with the eyes of the silver haired man burning into her head.

"It's not that she's similar to me," Kakashi whispered silently, "It's that she has no way back."

He eventually found himself lost in the words of a child, a child he didn't want but was forced to have. He wondered how a child's words could be so mystifying.

"Do they know you?" Sekai questioned in confusion, eyebrows scrunching.

"Whose they?" Kakashi retorted, lightheartedly.

"Them," Sekai spoke hesitantly, "There." She guided his eyes with her finger, her own head turning to face whatever they were, "Those people. The waving blonde and the embarrassed two next to him."

The second Kakashi's eyes landed on the three people she was talking about he was already prepared for the worst. He finally realized what it felt like to be embarrassed to death. Apparently, Naruto hadn't felt the pleasure of it yet.

"Ignore them." He hissed, "They might go away."

"I don't think so," She disagreed keeping her eyes on them, "They're coming in right now."

"Oh Kami help me," Kakashi moaned wishing they would mistake him for someone else. But, then again, who else wore a mask and headband to cover most of their face?

Then there was the hair.

Kakashi was just too obvious not to spot in a crowed room.

Don't thank me yet, we still have a long way to go.

"Kakashi-sensei," Sakura voiced, "You were late again."

"We were waiting for you," Naruto blurted out. When he got a disbelieving look from Kakashi he added, "Believe it!"

Kakashi turned to look at his final student who had stayed quiet for most of the time, his eyes watching a small insect move around and disappear, "No excuse?"

Sasuke turned his head, watching his sensei as if waiting for him to realize something before he scoffed and turned his head back away, "Dobe."

"I don't get why you would skip practice to eat lunch alone," Sakura muttered in irritation, "You're probably not even going to eat the food."

"Alone?" Kakashi questioned turning his head to look at Sekai.

Sekai watched the man in front of her, his face twisted in annoyance. The feeling was lost to her but she did try to understand him.

But you see, sometimes people can see things wrongly. For Kakashi, he just might not enjoy his students pasteurization, but to Sekai, he just didn't want them to know about her.

Frowning Sekai watch the bubble pink girl talk to Kakashi, and looked back at the other two, "I understand."

With her eyes focused on the table, Sekai breathed deeply.

She wasn't there anymore. Almost as if she had never been there in the first place. The small glass of water was gone, like no one had placed it there to begin with.

Sometimes I just want to leave everything behind and run.

Sekai walked further than she wanted to, thoughts scattering in her mind and the thoughts of the sun making her day more brighter than she thought they would be.

She wondered about her family, where they were and if they were happy where they ended up. She couldn't believe her aunt would kill her father and be the one to take her mother away from her.

Sekai didn't even know if she was alive anymore, she just remembered her mother walking away.

"You're that girl." Sekai span around, eyes narrowing trying to find out where the voice came from, "Dango."

The one word reminded her, but also made her scrunch up her nose, she really didn't like sweets, she preferred meat-raw meat.

"You're one of the people," Sekai realized watching his features carefully, "One of those strange people."

"You're strange, too." He added not disagreeing with her statement, "And don't compare me to the Dobe."

Sekai hesitantly nodded and pursed her frowning mouth, "Why are you here?"

"Who are you?" He avoided the question, his eyes narrowing and face passive, "You're not from here, so what business do you have here."

She realized that look on his face, Paranoia. It wasn't as if she wasn't paranoid of him, in fact she really did want to know why he was here, "Why are you here?"

"Curiosity." He murmured keeping his eyes on a bird in the distance.

"Sekai." She answered.

"Don't tell anyone about me." Sekai frowned in frustration, "It's easier that way." She added with a mutter.

"As long as you do the same." He responded.

There was a grounded silence between the two before both turned around and walked off.

Sekai turned around and watched him walk for a little while before she turned back around and walked off.

Sasuke tilted his head to watch her, feet stopping where he stood. His lips were in a thin line, eyes focused on her disappearing form. Shaking his head he turned back around and walked off.

I always have trouble speaking to people. Both thought. Never the right words, never the right actions.

"What should I say when my feelings can't fit into words?"


I wanted you guys to get a start on the whole Kakashi/Sekai development. They will seem more like a family later on, even though there will be some strains, also an introduction to Naruto, Sakura, and the beginning of Sasuke and Sekai's friendship.
