Kakashi jumped through the window, landing softly in the pink haired girls' room. He looked up and saw the girl sleeping peacefully. He stood and walked up to her bed. He starred at the girl for a long time, taking in all her features.
He had been worried about the girl since Sasuke left. And with Naruto gone, she was even more vunerable. He pushed a stand of hair off her face. A tear ran down the girls cheek. 'You poor, broken soul. You didn't deserve this.' He thought sadly as he wiped the tear away.
"Kakashi-sensei?" The girl asked as she sat up.
"Ah, I see you're awake." He stood up from where he was seated. He had come in the morning after Sasuke's leave was made public to check up on her. "How are you feeling?" He asked. Her mother had let him in immediately, offering him tea. He politely refused and ask if he could see Sakura. She informed him she was still asleep, but he was welcome to stay in her room until she woke up.
"Fine." She answered. She was tired of people asking that ,he could tell.
"Mm, Kakashi-sensei?" She asked sitting up. "It's midnight, what do you want?" She asked grumpily. Her emotions had returned to normal for the most part, but he was still worried.
Kakashi put on his fake smile. "Just checking up on the only student I have still in the village."
"Stop it." She grumbled. Kakashi's eyebrow raised. "Stop using that smile. I know it's fake." She informed.
Kakashi's visible eye went soft and his eyebrow dropped. He sighed. "And you need to stop acting like you're okay. Let's make a deal. You act like what you're feeling, and I'll stop fake smiling around you."
Sakura's teasing gaze automatically went shy. She slowly got up, careful not to make too much noise, and hugged him. "I just…I'm tired of being betrayed by the one's that get closest to me." She cried, tears starting to roll down her cheeks.
Kakashi, shocked, automatically brought his arms around his student, clutching her close. "I know…I know…"
I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine
I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind
I will you father figure
I have had enough of crime
I will be the one who loves you
Till the end of time
