Yuki left early for school on Monday, partly because she didn't want to talk to grandpa about the therapist session and partly because her first lesson was English, even though she new Kakashi would be forty minutes late.
Yuki wasn't feeling her happy cheery self as she flung the door open for English, she was half an hour early for school and the last person she had expected to see was sitting at his desk. On time. Marking work.
Kakashi turned and was surprised to see Yuki standing at his door.
"I hope your watch is half an hour early or are you one of those wired children that likes to come into school earlier to have a one to one with their sensei's?" Kakashi questioned with an amused smiled, he looked back down at his paper.
Yuki walked to her deck and placing her bag heavily down on the table, before dropping to her seat and folding her arms around her head.
"You uncharacteristically grumpy today." Kakashi looked up from her his eyelashes at her, before continuing his marking.
"And your uncharacteristically early today, but do you hear me complaining?" Yuki mumbled from beneath her arms.
"Wanna talk about it…?" Kakashi questioned her.
Yuki breathed out heavily, she sat up and flashed him a big grin. "No honestly I'm fine, Kakashi-sensei, thank you worrying."
"Wow, you're an exceedingly bad liar."
Yuki smiled for real this time, returning to her normal self, "Already reading me like a book Kakashi-sensei!"
Kakashi smiled, "Probably not as well as you could read me, you're a junior psychoanalyst in the making."
Yuki frowned at that word and slumped her head back on the desk.
"How was your weekend?"
"Hateful, tedious, colourless, abomination, detestation, malevolence-"
"Did you by any chance read a dictionary?" Kakashi joked.
Yuki giggled slightly returning back to old self again. "I tell a lie, Friday and Saturday morning where brilliant, my friends came over for a sleepover, but Saturday evening…Sucked! Which made Sunday suck! And this morning suck!"
"Wanna talk about it?"
"That's all I've been bloody well doing is talking about how I feel about things."
"Just a question." Kakashi frowned and threw a written assignment paper in front of her, "Can you read that or know who's writing that is?"
Yuki spun the paper around and studied, the sloppy, yet elegant and old-fashioned like hand writing. "I don't recognise the writing, sorry."
"Well do you analysing this and work who's it is?"
Yuki leaned on her hand, she was starting to regret her last English lesson where, she had out of bored analysed the whole class for Kakashi. "What mark did they get?"
"C…but but they weren't trying at all."
Yuki read through the paper, "It's very detailed, yet a lot of spelling mistakes, but they're careless as if the person was half asleep when writing this-wait-" Yuki broke in a grin. "-By any chance do you teach Shikamaru Nara?"
Kakashi nodded. "The boy genius indeed I do."
"It'll be his then." Yuki passed the assignment back to Kakashi. "What do you teach him?"
"English Lit, he's in my only other sophomore class that I split with another teacher, I only teach poetry side." Kakashi studied the surprise on Yuki's face. "Your class is the first sophomore English class I have taken full responsibility for, normally I only teach seniors and the odd split Junior and on rare occasion split sophomore."
Yuki grinned. "I feel special."
Kakashi chuckled lightly. "Now did you wanna talk about your weekend?"
"My therapist sucks, I hate him?"
"Therapist?"
Yuki nodded her head, "You must know about my…medical history."
Kakashi shook his head, "You're just an average student to me, with the odd exception that you're a stalker."
Yuki laughed at his choice of words, now she understood why she got on well with him, it wasn't out of pity they just had a lot in common. "I don't stalk everyone, it's something I learned when I was in hospital."
Kakashi titled his head to the side, Yuki could tell this was completely new news to him.
"Well, to sum it up…I was in a car accident, My mother, father and twin brother, my older survived without a scratch, I lost every single memory and haven't regained them."
Kakashi's face was blank as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"Anyway, I'm forced to go to a bastard of a therapist that hasn't doesn't shit all to help me remember anything." Yuki suddenly felt really guilty. "Okay, he's not that bad, he did help me through the period of when I-" Yuki cut herself of immediately.
"When You…?"
Yuki looked away from his gaze and across the class room out onto the field.
"You know what I like about you, kid?" Kakashi told her as he marked his work. "You tried to hate people, but you can't, even this therapist guy, you feel bad for hating him, you're just too good for this world."
"I wasn't always like this."
Kakashi raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Then what where you like?"
"I was mentally unwell, I went into depression to the length of where I tried to drown myself." Yuki blurted out before her brain could catch up. "But then I saw what it did to my family and what I had become or whether I was like that to start with I don't know, but I decided from that moment, I was going to be opposite."
"Then you've done a good job." Kakashi answered her with a smile.
Yuki grinned back, "I find it so much easier to talk anyone else but Raido."
Kakashi startled and started at Yuki. "Raido, do you mean Raido Namiashi?"
"Yeah, how do you…? Is he your therapist too?"
Kakashi laughed. "Dear god no, If I had a therapist, after a week of seeing me, they would need one. No, Raido a friend of mine, well of an acquaintance, he's Genma's boyfriend."
"Genma-sensei's gay! Fancy that and Ino has crush on him." Yuki found it all too funny. "I would never have guessed though."
"Oh please if you knew him really you wouldn't think anything else."
"What a small little world." Yuki muttered to herself.
"Raido's not that bad, well… what I know of him anyway, maybe when's around Genma he's a whole different person, I talk Genma, see what he can do."
Yuki broke into a smile. "Are you serious?"
"Well you don't seem like a suicidal maniac to me."
"Oh my, if you could at least get him to cut down to once a month, I would owe you one." Yuki begged Kakashi.
"No promises, but I'll see what I can do."
Yuki grinned, "Thank you, Sensei." Yuki's eyes flickered to the white piece of paper next to Kakashi's marking, it was a notice for swim club, Yuki beamed. "Kakashi-sensei? Do they have a swimming pool here?"
Kakashi nodded and pointed out of the window, "That building next to north gym hall."
"North gym hall!" Yuki gasped and fell back into her seat, "I can't believe it! All that time through gym and I didn't even smell it!"
"I take it you like swimming…"
"LIKE IT?" Yuki replied and let out a woop of joy, "I LOVE IT! When I'm in the water I feel at home, I feel safe, I at one with it, I love THE water!"
"I think you should become part of the swim team, then."
"Do I have to if I want to use the swimming pool?"
"Indeed, but juniors and seniors have the occasional swim lesson." Kakashi nodded slowly and then stopped changing the question, "Is that why you tried to drown yourself, because you like the water so much."
Yuki's eyes locked with his. "I never really thought about it…I guess."
The bell sounded for first lesson, making Yuki jump and interrupting her thoughts, she stared at the speaker in their classroom before turning back to Kakashi with a smile on her face.
"Thank you Kakashi-sensei!"
