He cracked open one of his eyes and saw that he was in a bed with some sheets over him, he didn't remember going to bed last night so he thought someone might have taken him. His mind caught up to him as he remembered where he was, em style="box-sizing: border-box;""so I'm guessing Kakashi brought me here." /em/p

Reaching around to feel his body he looked down to see he was still in his female henge em style="box-sizing: border-box;""guess this is easy to maintain unless you do the release signs, must have been tired yesterday." /emHe got up slowly going to the side of the bed, there was still the stinging in his ankle but it wasn't as bad as yesterday. His clothes were crinkled after having slept with them and the fight from the day before having torn them in most places. Next to his bed, he saw clothes that had been left out for him and he could tell they were Kakashi's. em style="box-sizing: border-box;""Guess i don't have much of a choice."/em/p

He heard Sasuke walk in and stop then continued walking towards him and sitting down. Kakashi looked up at him, he had showered and quickly dried off and he was wearing the clothes Kakashi had given him. his hair was loose reaching past his shoulders, he was wearing Kakashi's combat pants and shirt but walking around barefoot. /p

"Since team 7 had a mission yesterday and met a lot of resistance the Hokage has given us a few days off, I already reported it to him but I will have to go in person later today." /p

Sasuke asked cautiously "you can if you want to but your punishment still remains, plus how Is the leg?" Kakashi asked looking over his shoulder, "it's not too bad, i need to get home and get some clothes." He got up and went to Kakashi "can you heal my ankle" Sasuke more stated than asked. "i thought you said it wasn't fine asking for help" Kakashi said mockingly earning him a glare from Sasuke "i thought you said i should ask for help more." Kakashi shrugged and simply patted the part of the couch next to him./p

The tv was playing one of Kakashi's stories and Sasuke didn't want to look at it because he knew that if he started watching it, he might get sucked in and not do anything the whole day. "Can you fetch my clothes for me?," he asked his attention slowly turning to Kakashi. "You can do that yourself can't you," Kakashi said plainly reaching down and placing Sasuke's feet on his lap./p

"Fine but now you owe your sensei something," he said with a wink which sent a shiver down Sasuke's spine, when Sasuke asked for something it was always going to be a big strain. "Fine' he stated already getting worn out from just having this conversation but drawing his attention back to where his feet were. They were resting on Kakashi's lap as he slowly took off the bandages that were wrapped around his ankle. He had wanted to protest but thought better of it, the quicker he heals the faster he could get out of here./p

After the bandages came off he felt Kakashi's hand softly wrap around his ankle and a soft green glow came from it bringing back that soft warm feeling he remembered from yesterday./p

Sasuke felt Kakashi weight shift as he lifted Sasuke's legs off "well i have to get going, could do without a lecture from the Hokage and I'll be sure to get some clothes from you." With a deep stretch, Kakashi disappeared and he was gone em style="box-sizing: border-box;""i hate it when he does that." /em/p

Sasuke's ankle was better healed now but still stung after all Kakashi didn't have enough chakra to fully heal it in one go. He wanted to get a grasp of the neighbourhood so he stepped outside and started looking around, it was so odd for him how Kakashi lived out here by himself but he couldn't be one to judge. he lived some ways away from the Uchiha compound not wanting to see it because it always dredged up memories he would rather forget and people hardly dared to approach the former compound and those who did ran into ANBU that seemed to always be on patrol from trespassers./p

"Oh my, who do we have here?" the voice asked eagerly from beyond the small fence that surrounded the house. Sasuke could already make a profile in his head as he turned around to face where the voice had come from./p

He didn't want to come off as rude and he knew Kakashi would have his head if he was rude to one of his neighbours to who in the area looked as if far and few. With a small wave and a slight bow with his head, the woman was already smiling but still staying on the other side of the fence. Four young genins who had been hiding behind her slowly made their appearance peering from her side slowly. /p

They quickly ran forward and were about to greet Sasuke who was a bit amused by the whole deal cracking a small smile at the scene. "Sorry for our rudeness miss, it's a pleasure to meet you, miss ..miss ...?" they froze and turned to the old lady as if seeking help. "Oh, my apologies sweetheart but what is your name?" Sasuke was caught off guard for a second but quickly recovered "oh... it's Sasuke" he said without even giving it a second thought. /p

"What is it Miko?" the other genin asked making sure to not make eye contact with the old lady or Sasuke. "i think miss Sasuke is a kunoichi and a sensei, can't you see the clothes she's wearing." The other three turned up to look a Sasuke who was just throwing out a plastered on smile but they were none the wiser. They continued their talk as Sasuke kept on being drowned in small talk by the old lady till she said something that brought him out of his stomper./p

"What do you mean Mrs Misano?" he had managed to remember her name somehow through all the drivel she had been saying but he gathered he could gain new information on Kakashi. Mrs Misano looked at Sasuke's confused face and didn't know if it was her place to tell her or not but she thought it was better for her now than someone making a sly comment in the neighbourhood, that way the young miss might be at least prepared. /p

"Okay kids hurry back home and get everything ready for me okay, i need to have a talk with our new neighbour." The genin nodded with the last one giving Sasuke a once over to almost paint her image to memory then bolting off after the rest of the group into a house in the distance. "Children you know" Mrs Misano started bringing Sasuke's stare back to her "when you have your own one day Sasuke, be sure they remember you but are strong enough to go on without you."/p

Mrs Misano took this as confirmation that Sasuke was ready to listen closely so she walked closer and lightly held Sasuke's hands. He almost wanted to pull away but remembered something from his ninja training "make the subject feel connected and they will spill all their secrets" and he was about to get ready to find out what's up with Kakashi. "That boy has never let anyone in his house like you have been allowed sweetheart, maybe a long time ago back when he used to smile more and didn't hide behind that mask." /p

All the puzzle pieces were fitting finding their place in Sasuke's head, on why Kakashi acted the way that he did and from the sounds of it, he went through a lot and all of it alone. He remembered Kakashi gripping him tightly after the mission em style="box-sizing: border-box;""what was that all about?"/em/p

"i knew his father long ago and i know he wouldn't have wanted his son to grow into what he has become ... because i am one of the few around here who still remembers how he was in the past, and one of the few that still cares." Sasuke wanted to get out of here because this was getting awkward and uncomfortable to him so he said what the lady wanted to hear "i will take care of him Mrs Misano" he said it with such false conviction that he thought he would even fall for it himself./p

She reached over and gave Sasuke's shoulder a light squeeze "be his shoulder to cry on, i was for his father after his mother passed but i still didn't do enough." He didn't know social etiquette a lot but he had a feeling that he should have said something but he didn't know what to say or why to even say it. With a small smile, Mrs Misano took her leave but Sasuke just stood there for a few moments before heading back inside./p

Moments later he heard a sound and prepared himself ready to attack, but Sasuke suddenly appeared lightly walking from the room he was staying in. Kakashi quickly put away the kunai acting as if everything was fine./p

Sasuke was surprised as well after all he had never heard the door being opened and he internally scolded himself for letting his guard down that much. "Yea of course I'm here, how else was i going to get my clothes and my foot healed up," he said strolling past Kakashi as he saw behind him the strewn bags on the floor. Kakashi slowly followed him keeping a short distance "guess that makes sense there was something in it for you." He said grabbing the bag with food as Sasuke grabbed his clothes./p

"i never had a bra and panties" he muttered with a confused expression, but Kakashi was already heading to the couch placing the bag filled with food on the table. "I thought you might need more for your punishment so i just wandered through the girls' aisle at the shop and got some things without really thinking about it." Kakashi could feel the deadly glare emanating from the Uchiha but just ignored it, "and you know a girl" Sasuke stated lacing his comment with venomous sarcasm that he didn't think too much on./p

Sensing that he might have struck a chord and remembering that Mrs Misano told him that he lost his team, the image of the girl in Kakashi's picture came up em style="box-sizing: border-box;""shit."/em He quickly redirected the topic as best as he could "since you only had to report to the Hokage and grab my clothes, what took you so long?" Sasuke asked sitting next to him rummaging through the bag with food. "I had somewhere to be," Kakashi said straight forward and with Sasuke's training on ninja, he knew Kakashi was trying to answer but why was he making it so obvious because he seemed skilled enough to hide it./p
p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 24px; font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px; color: #222222;" data-p-id="4236523c844a6e5572a693296d1ed6a4"Sasuke after getting his food laid back on the armrest and started eating slowly sticking his leg on Kakashi's lap and giving a quick glance expectantly. "By the way, Naruto and Sakura were looking for you," he said taking off his gloves but still had most of his gear with him. "Why? what did they want?" Sasuke asked his attention on the tv as he felt Kakashi's hand wrap around his ankle and then the soft green glow began once again. "They want to see how you were doing ...i mean there are you, teammates," Kakashi said nonchalantly. Sasuke knew that his sensei knew that he wouldn't want to see them in this form especially because naruto would have a field day with this "then why didn't you just bring them here?"/p
p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 24px; font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px; color: #222222;" data-p-id="25ec2a5b677a4682feace0b957023ada""I prefer people not knowing where i stay, besides ...i didn't want the audience Naruto brought with him to cause a commotion here. Sasuke turned to face him and then sat up with his feet still in Kakashi's lap, "he did what?" He asked and Kakashi could feel the anger radiating off Sasuke and he once again opted to ignore it. "But once you're healed you'll be free to go home and you can kick their asses if you see them laughing at you as you said." Sasuke was running through the situation in his head, yes he could beat up anyone that laughed at him maintaining this form but would he be able to live down the shame of embarrassing the Uchiha clan like this./p
p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 24px; font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px; color: #222222;" data-p-id="280c5d65fc923e194f55f35b62f5711e""i think I'll be staying here for the duration of my punishment," he said sheepishly looking away from Kakashi, he was embarrassed at the prospect of everyone he knew laughing at him about this but on the outside to Kakashi, it looked as if he was blushing. Again Kakashi scolded himself, this made no sense to him because Sasuke never acted like this around sakura, so why was he starting now. He had never understood the Uchiha from the glimpse he got from Obito and what he saw of Itachi during his time with him in ANBU, the eye's that he even found cold at times./p
p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 24px; font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px; color: #222222;" data-p-id="4f30108f34dd1becb1974066f368a0f1"He thought of how Sasuke would react if he were to find out that he used to work with Itachi and even considering him a comrade like his father had taught him. But that same comrade had turned around and took everything that Sasuke held dear and even Obito's parents which he used to observe from a distance when he was off duty. "I'm sorry," he says not even thinking about it and Sasuke looks up at him "sorry for what?" Sasuke asked awaiting an answer./p
p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 24px; font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px; color: #222222;" data-p-id="a7e62e29217fc3dd2813578d61e06435""For all that you went through," he said looking down not knowing why he was speaking as if he had a hand in this, but he did have some Uchiha blood running through him and an eye. Sasuke just stared at him "it's whatever, it happened a long time ago and one day i will have my revenge on Itachi." He said clenching his fist and grinning his teeth a bit looking down with that faraway look that Kakashi recognised. He reached over putting his hand on Sasuke's head "I've always hated that look" he said looking at Sasuke with his full attention. He had finished healing him a long time ago but still had his hand over his ankle./p

"Really ...i shouldn't have it," he said with a light huff turn to look up at Kakashi with those onyx black eyes locking with his "so I'm not allowed but you are?" Kakashi looked away from him, he knew Sasuke had caught him with that look after their mission but was hoping he wouldn't bring it up. Sasuke was growing irritated "look at me," he said in a low threatening voice even though he knew he was no match for Kakashi. His sensei still didn't turn so he brought closer grabbing Kakashi's head and forcing him to turn back to him./p
p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 24px; font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px; color: #222222;" data-p-id="1b444e801ab625ae2316d44594ec5192""Answer me," he said flatly and Kakashi let out a sigh, "because you're going to waste your whole life thinking like that ...and at the end of the day would it be worth it, would you be happy." Sasuke let out a sad chuckle and locked eyes with his sensei "i don't need to be happy, i need to avenge my clan ...that will make me happy and if i die on that path at least i can finally be with my family." There it was the statement that Kakashi didn't want to ever hear, a justification that even death was acceptable, he hated this because all he saw was what led him to be an ANBU for who knows how long and that only served to make his problem worse. /p

Slowly he removed his hand from Sasuke's head and the other from his ankle before cautious going in for a hug. The Uchiha was distracted enough in his head going over everything that he had gone through plus what he had learned about Kakashi, for all he cared this village had brought them both nothing but pain but the fight for vengeance was dim in Kakashi, maybe it was because he had no one to direct all of his problems to unlike himself./p

Till once again he found himself embraced in his arm against his chest, he wanted to curl up into a ball again but fought against it choosing to return the hug. "You need this as much as i do and yet you're trying to fix me," he said smugly wrapping his arms around Kakashi which brought him into his lap./p

Sasuke gave him a slow nod still burying his face into his chest "it was more like it was dumped on me." Once he said that Kakashi had an idea of who it might have been "let me guess Mrs Misano?" he got another slow nodded as a response. "I guess you know all you need for your data gathering huh ..." he said with a dry chuckle at the end "Guy once came here and she gave him some of that story and he wouldn't leave me alone for a year."/p

The Uchiha only leaned more into it and scooting close into his lap more as if he had been craving affection all this time and Kakashi didn't want to admit it but so had he. "So what did she tell you?" he asked trying to gauge just how much his student now knew about him, and Sasuke told him everything and how he had "looked around" to get a better glimpse of the situation. "so some parts are still missing," he said absently causing the Uchiha to look up at him suddenly. "There is more?" he asked shocked more than anything as the tale alone was already somber enough./p

His sensei never once letting go of him as he got food for him, this was odd but the both of them didn't want to speak on it. They both finished eating and watched the rest of the movie on tv, all of this was done in silence with the Uchiha still curled up on his lap resting his head against his chest.. Sasuke was starting to slowly fall asleep once again and his eyes were fluttering softly, to Kakashi it was such a beautiful sight that he couldn't still believe who was behind those lashes./p

Kakashi lightly stroked the long hair that Sasuke now had in this form that he didn't want to admit drew him in "i don't think a teacher can be friend's with his student" he said sarcastically "well ..i ...guess we will have to change that ...or you can just call me comrade." The Uchiha said as he fell asleep once again "okay Sasuke" he said to a now asleep Uchiha, he still didn't know if he could bring himself to let him know the whole story but sooner or later he would find out on his own and that much was evident./p

After putting the blankets on Sasuke he walked off without another word or glance back to his room. /p

They didn't make eye contact as they both remembered the events of last night quite clearly. Kakashi passed a bowl of food to Sasuke wordlessly and he ate it as he made his way to the tv. "Sorry Sasuke cant watch tv today, we have training today" the Uchiha had been dreading this but he had known that it was coming sooner or later. "Is this one or one training ...or team training?" he asked making his way back to Kakashi and standing in front of him./p

"No, it's just that the dobe is going to be there, and from what you told me happened yesterday i have a feeling he has more in store for me." Kakashi finished his food standing up and walking towards Sasuke who now in this form stood at his chin height. "So you're going to just let him learn some new skills while you mope here," he said trying to bait Sasuke into going, if there was anything the Uchiha hated more was the idea of that dobe being better than him./p

Kakashi was just doing some light stretching "no need, there;'s a door three doors down on the left side, get your stuff in there because heading to the armoury will take too long." As Sasuke went down the hallway he saw the two doors that he had not been able to get into yesterday. He guessed the other was kakashi's room as he had seen him going in and out of there, and with the information he learned yesterday he could now guess the other room was the one that belonged to his parents./p

One was broke with only parts of it's seemingly shattered blade remaining attached to a somewhat burned handle. The other one was still in good condition as if polished even if it had marks of usages all over it. Both of them marks of a history that sasuke didn't know about, only adding to list of things he had to ask kakashi when they got back./p

"Kakashi my boy, how are you doing?" she greeted him cheerily after quickly locking eyes with sasuke who gave her a quick and somewhat plastered smile hiding his annoyance "what does this old lady want?" Kakashi walked out stepping outside the fence as sasuke followed him. "Morning Mrs Misano" kakashi said with somewhat of a smile the difference being that his was genuine, which surprised the uchiha as he glanced back up at him. /p

"Miss Sasuke?" he asked absently and turned to look at sasuke who turned away from him looking the other way "oh so that's what she means." He turned back her with a smile "I'm sorry miss Misano just could find the time, but this is sasuke" he said gesturing towards the uchiha. "It's a pleasure to meet you officially sweetheart" she said with open arms looking at sasuke and he could see kakashi was barely holding back a laugh. /p

She held him tightly and whilst he was still trying to escape she glanced over to Kakashi and mouthed towards him silently "take care of her." That brought the giggle fit Kakashi was having to a stop as he could spot the earnestness in her eyes. Mrs Misano had been one of the few people who still cared about him and tolerated him throughout all his changes, sticking around after others had given up. Some might even say his grandmother since he never had one even if he used to tell her to keep her distance constantly. /p

His father used to call her big sis whenever they thought he wasn't watching back when he was a kid. He took his father's death badly but he knew it must have been worse for her since she had known him way before he was born and probably felt as if she had failed him./p

Sasuke muttered out but he could see from the look on Kakashi's face that he had already fought this battle and was going to go. "We will be there Mrs Misano, but now we have to get to training" he said breaking Sasuke out from the hug and pushing the Uchiha behind him as if protecting him from the old lady's death grip on her. "Fine, by the way, miss Sasuke" she asked forcing Sasuke to peek at her from behind Kakashi "Yes Mrs Misano?" She waved her hand up and down pointing to his attire "what are you wearing? that hardly seems appropriate for a young lady, where are the clothes you were wearing yesterday?" /p

He said this hoping that she would buy it, he knew that she had always be strong on details even managing to pick the smallest thing that stood out. "I see, that makes sense, her clothes yesterday seemed a fair bit too big for her" and there was the detail. /p

"So you chose to keep your identity a secret Miss Sasuke?" he asked the Uchiha glancing at him from behind a novel he had taken out for the short trip to the fields. "Didn't have much of a choice in order to hide my identity in this form and DONT call me that" he said with so annoyance. Kakashi just giggled a bit before returning to his novel. /p

Sasuke glanced back at him "and what if i say no?" he asked now knowing that all the cards were in his corner. "Then I'll tell everyone that you're sasuke, and a closest pervert" he said pulling out pictures of Sasuke in his female henge that sasuke didn't even know he had time to take. But he was going to go down that easily "really is that all you got?" he saw kakashi place the pictures back in his pocket "so you wouldn't be worried about these getting out?" he asked trying to call his bluff./p

"Simple dobe, because i saw what you did yesterday when you brought all those people to my place." Sakura turned around to him "you did WHAT?" Naruto looked away scratching the back of his head awkwardly. /p

He had his novel out already trying to get himself comfortable "That's enough you three" he said but his words fell on deaf ears as sakura was trying to stop Sasuke from stomping out naruto with her enhanced strength. He gave a small nod to his clone that immediately vanished appearing casting a shadow before the three. They stopped their arguing and looked up at the clone then saw Kakashi sitting down with his novel./p

The three students all let out a deep breath with sakura falling to her knees gasping for air while naruto fell flat on his back. It was different for him this time ever since kakashi has told him to train without using the nine tails. Sasuke wasn't in any better shape, with the new form he had taking some of his chakra and getting used to it's new dimesions and movement he was worn out. /p

"Okay time to head to medical" kakashi said walking past them. Three of them forced themselves to stand up and started walking behind their sensei towards medical till much later they arrived. It all caught up with sasuke them "I'm still in this form" the other two procceeded inside not caring much about what anyone else was doing so they did not even notice that sasuke didn't follow them inside./p

Kakashi was about to object when sasuke got there before him "and before you say anything, you're going to heal me as part of your favour." Kakashi just let out a deep sigh "you are really planning on milking this aren't you?" sasuke didn't reply but just sat down on a bench outisde the hopsital "of couse i am, or are you planning on breaking Mrs Misano's heart." He delivered the last line with such a smug face that he thought kakashi might pull out now "fine but after this we are even."

But it was still audible with a few grunts coming from sasuke as he walked beside kakashi. "Does it hurt that bad?" he asked but the uchiha only replied with a glare "i told my clone to go easy on you but i guess it had other ideas in mind." Whenever they passed by a streetlight in the otherwise moonless night, kakashi could see some of the bruising on sasuke's skin. Purple and red colourations that distrubed the otherwise uniform white, "Dont worry we will get you healed up when we get back." Sasuke just scoffed "yea you better, i wonder what Mrs Misano would do if she saw me like this?" he said smugly to which kakashi replied by picking him up in a bridal position and bolting into a full sprint home./p

"Go take a bath first" kakashi said placing him down as he let out a small audible grunt. After showering and changing into some of kakashi's clothes sasuke went to the kitchen where he was preparing what looked like premade food. He stood next to kakashi hoping to not have to say anything so he could just get started. Once the premade food was get heated kakashi turned back to sasuke who stood there wordlessly waiting for him to do something./p

It was nice to be off his feet because they had been killing him the entire day. "I bought something for tomorrow as part of the deal" kakashi said grabbing sasuke's arms gentlely and pushing up the sleeves. "what is it?" the uchiha asked curiously "can't tell you, you might run plus you already agreeded to it." That shiver went down his spine as he smacked himself eternally for even agreeing to go "Fine."/p

All that left now was the bruising on sasuke's neck and face, it was light in some area but very evident in others. He cradled sasuke's head in his left hand as his right went to his neck and began to glow. Sasuke was leaning his head into kakashi's left hand not wanting to flinch and come off as week. They locked eyes and sasuke quickly shut his but now he was full sensing kakashi's warm presence on his neck. His eyes were still shifting ever so slightly when something hurt a bit more than the rest. /p

He cracked his eyes open to lock up at kakashi who looked back at him and he could see in his eyes the shocked face before he looked away. Embrassed again sasuke shut his eyes praying to kami that he didn't just do what he thought he did. After his neck was done he felt both of kakashi's hands on either side of his face with that warm heat coming from both of them and then he opened his eyes./p

He heard Sasuke walk in and stop then continued walking towards him and sitting down. Kakashi looked up at him, he had showered and quickly dried off and he was wearing the clothes Kakashi had given him. his hair was loose reaching past his shoulders, he was wearing Kakashi's combat pants and shirt but walking around barefoot. /p

"Since team 7 had a mission yesterday and met a lot of resistance the Hokage has given us a few days off, I already reported it to him but I will have to go in person later today." /p

Kakashi asked looking over his shoulder, "it's not too bad, i need to get home and get some clothes." He got up and went to Kakashi "can you heal my ankle" Sasuke more stated than asked. "i thought you said it wasn't fine asking for help" Kakashi said mockingly earning him a glare from Sasuke "i thought you said i should ask for help more." Kakashi shrugged and simply patted the part of the couch next to him./p

The tv was playing one of Kakashi's stories and Sasuke didn't want to look at it because he knew that if he started watching it, he might get sucked in and not do anything the whole day. "Can you fetch my clothes for me?," he asked his attention slowly turning to Kakashi. "You can do that yourself can't you," Kakashi said plainly reaching down and placing Sasuke's feet on his lap./p

"Fine but now you owe your sensei something," he said with a wink which sent a shiver down Sasuke's spine, when Sasuke asked for something it was always going to be a big strain. "Fine' he stated already getting worn out from just having this conversation but drawing his attention back to where his feet were. They were resting on Kakashi's lap as he slowly took off the bandages that were wrapped around his ankle. He had wanted to protest but thought better of it, the quicker he heals the faster he could get out of here./p

After the bandages came off he felt Kakashi's hand softly wrap around his ankle and a soft green glow came from it bringing back that soft warm feeling he remembered from yesterday./p

Sasuke's ankle was better healed now but still stung after all Kakashi didn't have enough chakra to fully heal it in one go. He wanted to get a grasp of the neighbourhood so he stepped outside and started looking around, it was so odd for him how Kakashi lived out here by himself but he couldn't be one to judge. he lived some ways away from the Uchiha compound not wanting to see it because it always dredged up memories he would rather forget and people hardly dared to approach the former compound and those who did ran into ANBU that seemed to always be on patrol from trespassers./p

"Oh my, who do we have here?" the voice asked eagerly from beyond the small fence that surrounded the house. Sasuke could already make a profile in his head as he turned around to face where the voice had come from./p

He didn't want to come off as rude and he knew Kakashi would have his head if he was rude to one of his neighbours to who in the area looked as if far and few. With a small wave and a slight bow with his head, the woman was already smiling but still staying on the other side of the fence. Four young genins who had been hiding behind her slowly made their appearance peering from her side slowly. /p

They quickly ran forward and were about to greet Sasuke who was a bit amused by the whole deal cracking a small smile at the scene. "Sorry for our rudeness miss, it's a pleasure to meet you, miss ..miss ...?" they froze and turned to the old lady as if seeking help. "Oh, my apologies sweetheart but what is your name?" Sasuke was caught off guard for a second but quickly recovered "oh... it's Sasuke" he said without even giving it a second thought. /p

"What is it Miko?" the other genin asked making sure to not make eye contact with the old lady or Sasuke. "i think miss Sasuke is a kunoichi and a sensei, can't you see the clothes she's wearing." The other three turned up to look a Sasuke who was just throwing out a plastered on smile but they were none the wiser. They continued their talk as Sasuke kept on being drowned in small talk by the old lady till she said something that brought him out of his stomper./p

"What do you mean Mrs Misano?" he had managed to remember her name somehow through all the drivel she had been saying but he gathered he could gain new information on Kakashi. Mrs Misano looked at Sasuke's confused face and didn't know if it was her place to tell her or not but she thought it was better for her now than someone making a sly comment in the neighbourhood, that way the young miss might be at least prepared. /p

Mrs Misano took this as confirmation that Sasuke was ready to listen closely so she walked closer and lightly held Sasuke's hands. He almost wanted to pull away but remembered something from his ninja training "make the subject feel connected and they will spill all their secrets" and he was about to get ready to find out what's up with Kakashi. "That boy has never let anyone in his house like you have been allowed sweetheart, maybe a long time ago back when he used to smile more and didn't hide behind that mask." /p

"i knew his father long ago and i know he wouldn't have wanted his son to grow into what he has become ... because i am one of the few around here who still remembers how he was in the past, and one of the few that still cares." Sasuke wanted to get out of here because this was getting awkward and uncomfortable to him so he said what the lady wanted to hear "i will take care of him Mrs Misano" he said it with such false conviction that he thought he would even fall for it himself./p

She reached over and gave Sasuke's shoulder a light squeeze "be his shoulder to cry on, i was for his father after his mother passed but i still didn't do enough." He didn't know social etiquette a lot but he had a feeling that he should have said something but he didn't know what to say or why to even say it. With a small smile, Mrs Misano took her leave but Sasuke just stood there for a few moments before heading back inside./p

Sasuke was surprised as well after all he had never heard the door being opened and he internally scolded himself for letting his guard down that much. "Yea of course I'm here, how else was i going to get my clothes and my foot healed up," he said strolling past Kakashi as he saw behind him the strewn bags on the floor. Kakashi slowly followed him keeping a short distance "guess that makes sense there was something in it for you." He said grabbing the bag with food as Sasuke grabbed his clothes./p

"i never had a bra and panties" he muttered with a confused expression, but Kakashi was already heading to the couch placing the bag filled with food on the table. "I thought you might need more for your punishment so i just wandered through the girls' aisle at the shop and got some things without really thinking about it." Kakashi could feel the deadly glare emanating from the Uchiha but just ignored it, "and you know a girl" Sasuke stated lacing his comment with venomous sarcasm that he didn't think too much on./p

Sensing that he might have struck a chord and remembering that Mrs Misano told him that he lost his team, the image of the girl in Kakashi's picture came up em style="box-sizing: border-box;""shit."/em He quickly redirected the topic as best as he could "since you only had to report to the Hokage and grab my clothes, what took you so long?" Sasuke asked sitting next to him rummaging through the bag with food. "I had somewhere to be," Kakashi said straight forward and with Sasuke's training on ninja, he knew Kakashi was trying to answer but why was he making it so obvious because he seemed skilled enough to hide it./p

"By the way, Naruto and Sakura were looking for you," he said taking off his gloves but still had most of his gear with him. "Why? what did they want?" Sasuke asked his attention on the tv as he felt Kakashi's hand wrap around his ankle and then the soft green glow began once again. "They want to see how you were doing ...i mean there are you, teammates," Kakashi said nonchalantly. Sasuke knew that his sensei knew that he wouldn't want to see them in this form especially because naruto would have a field day with this "then why didn't you just bring them here?"/p
p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 24px; font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px; color: #222222;" data-p-id="25ec2a5b677a4682feace0b957023ada""I prefer people not knowing where i stay, besides ...i didn't want the audience Naruto brought with him to cause a commotion here. Sasuke turned to face him and then sat up with his feet still in Kakashi's lap, "he did what?" He asked and Kakashi could feel the anger radiating off Sasuke and he once again opted to ignore it. "But once you're healed you'll be free to go home and you can kick their asses if you see them laughing at you as you said." Sasuke was running through the situation in his head, yes he could beat up anyone that laughed at him maintaining this form but would he be able to live down the shame of embarrassing the Uchiha clan like this./p
p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 24px; font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px; color: #222222;" data-p-id="280c5d65fc923e194f55f35b62f5711e""i think I'll be staying here for the duration of my punishment," he said sheepishly looking away from Kakashi, he was embarrassed at the prospect of everyone he knew laughing at him about this but on the outside to Kakashi, it looked as if he was blushing. Again Kakashi scolded himself, this made no sense to him because Sasuke never acted like this around sakura, so why was he starting now. He had never understood the Uchiha from the glimpse he got from Obito and what he saw of Itachi during his time with him in ANBU, the eye's that he even found cold at times./p
p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 24px; font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px; color: #222222;" data-p-id="4f30108f34dd1becb1974066f368a0f1"He thought of how Sasuke would react if he were to find out that he used to work with Itachi and even considering him a comrade like his father had taught him. But that same comrade had turned around and took everything that Sasuke held dear and even Obito's parents which he used to observe from a distance when he was off duty. "I'm sorry," he says not even thinking about it and Sasuke looks up at him "sorry for what?" Sasuke asked awaiting an answer./p

Sasuke just stared at him "it's whatever, it happened a long time ago and one day i will have my revenge on Itachi." He said clenching his fist and grinning his teeth a bit looking down with that faraway look that Kakashi recognised. He reached over putting his hand on Sasuke's head "I've always hated that look" he said looking at Sasuke with his full attention. He had finished healing him a long time ago but still had his hand over his ankle./p

"Really ...i shouldn't have it," he said with a light huff turn to look up at Kakashi with those onyx black eyes locking with his "so I'm not allowed but you are?" Kakashi looked away from him, he knew Sasuke had caught him with that look after their mission but was hoping he wouldn't bring it up. Sasuke was growing irritated "look at me," he said in a low threatening voice even though he knew he was no match for Kakashi. His sensei still didn't turn so he brought closer grabbing Kakashi's head and forcing him to turn back to him./p
p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 24px; font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px; color: #222222;" data-p-id="1b444e801ab625ae2316d44594ec5192""Answer me," he said flatly and Kakashi let out a sigh, "because you're going to waste your whole life thinking like that ...and at the end of the day would it be worth it, would you be happy." Sasuke let out a sad chuckle and locked eyes with his sensei "i don't need to be happy, i need to avenge my clan ...that will make me happy and if i die on that path at least i can finally be with my family." There it was the statement that Kakashi didn't want to ever hear, a justification that even death was acceptable, he hated this because all he saw was what led him to be an ANBU for who knows how long and that only served to make his problem worse. /p

Slowly he removed his hand from Sasuke's head and the other from his ankle before cautious going in for a hug. The Uchiha was distracted enough in his head going over everything that he had gone through plus what he had learned about Kakashi, for all he cared this village had brought them both nothing but pain but the fight for vengeance was dim in Kakashi, maybe it was because he had no one to direct all of his problems to unlike himself./p

Till once again he found himself embraced in his arm against his chest, he wanted to curl up into a ball again but fought against it choosing to return the hug. "You need this as much as i do and yet you're trying to fix me," he said smugly wrapping his arms around Kakashi which brought him into his lap./p

Sasuke gave him a slow nod still burying his face into his chest "it was more like it was dumped on me." Once he said that Kakashi had an idea of who it might have been "let me guess Mrs Misano?" he got another slow nodded as a response. "I guess you know all you need for your data gathering huh ..." he said with a dry chuckle at the end "Guy once came here and she gave him some of that story and he wouldn't leave me alone for a year."/p

The Uchiha only leaned more into it and scooting close into his lap more as if he had been craving affection all this time and Kakashi didn't want to admit it but so had he. "So what did she tell you?" he asked trying to gauge just how much his student now knew about him, and Sasuke told him everything and how he had "looked around" to get a better glimpse of the situation. "so some parts are still missing," he said absently causing the Uchiha to look up at him suddenly. "There is more?" he asked shocked more than anything as the tale alone was already somber enough./p

His sensei never once letting go of him as he got food for him, this was odd but the both of them didn't want to speak on it. They both finished eating and watched the rest of the movie on tv, all of this was done in silence with the Uchiha still curled up on his lap resting his head against his chest.. Sasuke was starting to slowly fall asleep once again and his eyes were fluttering softly, to Kakashi it was such a beautiful sight that he couldn't still believe who was behind those lashes./p

Kakashi lightly stroked the long hair that Sasuke now had in this form that he didn't want to admit drew him in "i don't think a teacher can be friend's with his student" he said sarcastically "well ..i ...guess we will have to change that ...or you can just call me comrade." The Uchiha said as he fell asleep once again "okay Sasuke" he said to a now asleep Uchiha, he still didn't know if he could bring himself to let him know the whole story but sooner or later he would find out on his own and that much was evident./p

After putting the blankets on Sasuke he walked off without another word or glance back to his room. /p

They didn't make eye contact as they both remembered the events of last night quite clearly. Kakashi passed a bowl of food to Sasuke wordlessly and he ate it as he made his way to the tv. "Sorry Sasuke cant watch tv today, we have training today" the Uchiha had been dreading this but he had known that it was coming sooner or later. "Is this one or one training ...or team training?" he asked making his way back to Kakashi and standing in front of him./p

"No, it's just that the dobe is going to be there, and from what you told me happened yesterday i have a feeling he has more in store for me." Kakashi finished his food standing up and walking towards Sasuke who now in this form stood at his chin height. "So you're going to just let him learn some new skills while you mope here," he said trying to bait Sasuke into going, if there was anything the Uchiha hated more was the idea of that dobe being better than him./p

Kakashi was just doing some light stretching "no need, there;'s a door three doors down on the left side, get your stuff in there because heading to the armoury will take too long." As Sasuke went down the hallway he saw the two doors that he had not been able to get into yesterday. He guessed the other was kakashi's room as he had seen him going in and out of there, and with the information he learned yesterday he could now guess the other room was the one that belonged to his parents./p

One was broke with only parts of it's seemingly shattered blade remaining attached to a somewhat burned handle. The other one was still in good condition as if polished even if it had marks of usages all over it. Both of them marks of a history that sasuke didn't know about, only adding to list of things he had to ask kakashi when they got back./p

"Kakashi my boy, how are you doing?" she greeted him cheerily after quickly locking eyes with sasuke who gave her a quick and somewhat plastered smile hiding his annoyance "what does this old lady want?" Kakashi walked out stepping outside the fence as sasuke followed him. "Morning Mrs Misano" kakashi said with somewhat of a smile the difference being that his was genuine, which surprised the uchiha as he glanced back up at him. /p

"Miss Sasuke?" he asked absently and turned to look at sasuke who turned away from him looking the other way "oh so that's what she means." He turned back her with a smile "I'm sorry miss Misano just could find the time, but this is sasuke" he said gesturing towards the uchiha. "It's a pleasure to meet you officially sweetheart" she said with open arms looking at sasuke and he could see kakashi was barely holding back a laugh. /p

She held him tightly and whilst he was still trying to escape she glanced over to Kakashi and mouthed towards him silently "take care of her." That brought the giggle fit Kakashi was having to a stop as he could spot the earnestness in her eyes. Mrs Misano had been one of the few people who still cared about him and tolerated him throughout all his changes, sticking around after others had given up. Some might even say his grandmother since he never had one even if he used to tell her to keep her distance constantly. /p

His father used to call her big sis whenever they thought he wasn't watching back when he was a kid. He took his father's death badly but he knew it must have been worse for her since she had known him way before he was born and probably felt as if she had failed him./p

Sasuke muttered out but he could see from the look on Kakashi's face that he had already fought this battle and was going to go. "We will be there Mrs Misano, but now we have to get to training" he said breaking Sasuke out from the hug and pushing the Uchiha behind him as if protecting him from the old lady's death grip on her. "Fine, by the way, miss Sasuke" she asked forcing Sasuke to peek at her from behind Kakashi "Yes Mrs Misano?" She waved her hand up and down pointing to his attire "what are you wearing? that hardly seems appropriate for a young lady, where are the clothes you were wearing yesterday?" /p

He said this hoping that she would buy it, he knew that she had always be strong on details even managing to pick the smallest thing that stood out. "I see, that makes sense, her clothes yesterday seemed a fair bit too big for her" and there was the detail. /p

"So you chose to keep your identity a secret Miss Sasuke?" he asked the Uchiha glancing at him from behind a novel he had taken out for the short trip to the fields. "Didn't have much of a choice in order to hide my identity in this form and DONT call me that" he said with so annoyance. Kakashi just giggled a bit before returning to his novel. /p

Sasuke glanced back at him "and what if i say no?" he asked now knowing that all the cards were in his corner. "Then I'll tell everyone that you're sasuke, and a closest pervert" he said pulling out pictures of Sasuke in his female henge that sasuke didn't even know he had time to take. But he was going to go down that easily "really is that all you got?" he saw kakashi place the pictures back in his pocket "so you wouldn't be worried about these getting out?" he asked trying to call his bluff./p

"Simple dobe, because i saw what you did yesterday when you brought all those people to my place." Sakura turned around to him "you did WHAT?" Naruto looked away scratching the back of his head awkwardly. /p

He had his novel out already trying to get himself comfortable "That's enough you three" he said but his words fell on deaf ears as sakura was trying to stop Sasuke from stomping out naruto with her enhanced strength. He gave a small nod to his clone that immediately vanished appearing casting a shadow before the three. They stopped their arguing and looked up at the clone then saw Kakashi sitting down with his novel./p

The three students all let out a deep breath with sakura falling to her knees gasping for air while naruto fell flat on his back. It was different for him this time ever since kakashi has told him to train without using the nine tails. Sasuke wasn't in any better shape, with the new form he had taking some of his chakra and getting used to it's new dimesions and movement he was worn out. /p

"Okay time to head to medical" kakashi said walking past them. Three of them forced themselves to stand up and started walking behind their sensei towards medical till much later they arrived. It all caught up with sasuke them "I'm still in this form" the other two procceeded inside not caring much about what anyone else was doing so they did not even notice that sasuke didn't follow them inside./p

Kakashi was about to object when sasuke got there before him "and before you say anything, you're going to heal me as part of your favour." Kakashi just let out a deep sigh "you are really planning on milking this aren't you?" sasuke didn't reply but just sat down on a bench outisde the hopsital "of couse i am, or are you planning on breaking Mrs Misano's heart." He delivered the last line with such a smug face that he thought kakashi might pull out now "fine but after this we are even."

But it was still audible with a few grunts coming from sasuke as he walked beside kakashi. "Does it hurt that bad?" he asked but the uchiha only replied with a glare "i told my clone to go easy on you but i guess it had other ideas in mind." Whenever they passed by a streetlight in the otherwise moonless night, kakashi could see some of the bruising on sasuke's skin. Purple and red colourations that distrubed the otherwise uniform white, "Dont worry we will get you healed up when we get back." Sasuke just scoffed "yea you better, i wonder what Mrs Misano would do if she saw me like this?" he said smugly to which kakashi replied by picking him up in a bridal position and bolting into a full sprint home./p

"Go take a bath first" kakashi said placing him down as he let out a small audible grunt. After showering and changing into some of kakashi's clothes sasuke went to the kitchen where he was preparing what looked like premade food. He stood next to kakashi hoping to not have to say anything so he could just get started. Once the premade food was get heated kakashi turned back to sasuke who stood there wordlessly waiting for him to do something./p

It was nice to be off his feet because they had been killing him the entire day. "I bought something for tomorrow as part of the deal" kakashi said grabbing sasuke's arms gentlely and pushing up the sleeves. "what is it?" the uchiha asked curiously "can't tell you, you might run plus you already agreeded to it." That shiver went down his spine as he smacked himself eternally for even agreeing to go "Fine."/p

All that left now was the bruising on sasuke's neck and face, it was light in some area but very evident in others. He cradled sasuke's head in his left hand as his right went to his neck and began to glow. Sasuke was leaning his head into kakashi's left hand not wanting to flinch and come off as week. They locked eyes and sasuke quickly shut his but now he was full sensing kakashi's warm presence on his neck. His eyes were still shifting ever so slightly when something hurt a bit more than the rest. /p

He cracked his eyes open to lock up at kakashi who looked back at him and he could see in his eyes the shocked face before he looked away. Embrassed again sasuke shut his eyes praying to kami that he didn't just do what he thought he did. After his neck was done he felt both of kakashi's hands on either side of his face with that warm heat coming from both of them and then he opened his eyes./p
