Kakashi in Love?
Chapter 3: A Discussion on the Roof
XXXXXXXXXXXX
A cold breeze blew by.
The sleeping Hikari curled up more into a ball and snuggled her head on the warm pillow.
Ah this is a warm pillow... Her mind mused. But wait... wasn't I just doing something just now...? Why am I asleep? The last thing I remembered was...
"KAKASHI-SAN!" she cried opening her eyes in a sudden awakening, lifting her head up slightly.
Hikari blinked and stared at the entire view of the Konoha Village. It was breathtaking as the lights illuminated the liveliness of the village at night.
"Ah, so you're awake.." she heard Kakashi's voice from above her. "Nice view, isn't it?"
She nodded resting her head on the pillow staring at the view.
Wait... a pillow...?
Hikari narrowed her eyes to what her head was lying on. It was long, and blue, and had a foot at the end of it.
This isn't a pillow... I'm lying on...
Hikari immediately sat up straight with a flustered expression on her face.
Kakashi glanced at Hikari. "Something wrong...?"
"I-I..." she began. "I didn't realize I would fall asleep on your leg!"
"Oh, it's not like anything happened…" Kakashi laughed.
Then she remembered she had fallen unconscious. "EHH? THAT'S RIGHT! I fell unconscious! I'm sorry that you'd have to go through all the trouble just to watch over me! I bet you're going to be late for Ninja work or something because of staying up late waiting for me to wake up! Aah! Oh no, your ears! You're still not--"
"Oh, that... That was a joke... I wasn't really going deaf... I was just teasing you that's all..." Kakashi laughed. "Sorry for scaring you..."
I can't believe I fell for something as STUPID as that... UGH! Hikari-baka! HIKARI-BAKA! She thought miserably.
After scolding herself mentally, she rested her hand on a tile. It felt like a roof tile.
That's because she realized she was on a rooftop of a large tower. And judging by how large the view of the village was, she assumed that she was on a very TALL TOWER. Hikari looked down to the bottom of the tower.
He must be a very good ninja to carry me up all the way up here... she thought to himself.
"I used the stairs..." Kakashi mumbled.
"Nani?"
"I used the stairs..." He said more clearly. "If you were wondering how we got up here..."
"Oh..." she said embarrassingly. The words Hikari-baka chanted in her head again.
Hikari then wrapped her arms around her knees and continued to look at the view with Kakashi.
Memories flowed back into her mind forming a figure- someone she had not seen in so long, and she had missed dreadfully.
Father...
Hikari then decided to create a conversation, to lighten the mood. "This really is a beautiful view..." she whispered in awe.
"Yeah..." he replied. "I suppose this can make up for not taking you to dinner and all..."
"Bu--" She paused. She figured apologizing wasn't the best thing to say. It was probably best for her to thank him now. "Thank you," Hikari whispered. "Thank you for doing so much for me... To wait for me until I wake up... to try to make it worthwhile with this beautiful view... I wasn't planning on tonight being so special. You did a lot for me, when it should be me doing something for you…" A hint of guiltiness was detected in her voice.
Kakashi smiled. "Well, nights like this shouldn't be put to waist.."
"I remember one time... during a festival..." Hikari began. "My father and I couldn't find a good view to watch the fireworks. So, he carried me on his back and he climbed the highest tree and we watched the fireworks together up there... The view was just as breathtaking as this one..."
Kakashi smiled sadly with the mention of 'Father' but Hikari went on.
"I wish my father was here, to see this view..." She smiled.
I wish so, too... The Jounin thought dreadfully.
"Oh! And did you know my dad's a ninja, too! He was one of the best! Ah--! Well, I mean, I'm not saying you're a horrible ninja... it's just..."
Kakashi felt uncomfortable of the mentioning of 'Fathers'. His father, at least. He had to change the subject.
"Well... uhm... Who do you think is the best ninja ever..?" Kakashi randomly blurted out with Naruto somehow in his thoughts.
Tonight was getting to be really boring. If only Kakashi didn't let Hikari borrow his novel. He'd have something better to do by now.
"My dad of course!" Hikari chirped.
The Jounin sighed. "Of course. That seems obvious... but someone different... someone you barely even know... or don't know... Like… some.. famous ninja.."
She pondered a bit rocking slightly left to right. Seconds later, she snapped her fingers and smiled. "Oh! I know!"
"I don't know any famous ninjas out there, but I do remember my dad mentioning this ninja when I was young..."
"...oh?" He said absent-mindedly. "And who was that...?"
A pause. "...The White Fang ninja..."
Kakashi's heart skipped.
Hikari continued with a solemn smile. "I don't know what he looks like... or where he's from and all ... But from what my father had said is that he had saved several of his teammates in battle instead of completing this really important mission. After that, his village looked at him as a failure, and completely disgraced him. They would say mean and horrible things to him. And as time went on, he couldn't take it anymore so he committed suicide…"
Kakashi continued to listen silently.
"But he had did so many great things for his village, yet when he had did as something as brave as that, they turned their backs on him. They were the fools, not him. And yet they had driven him to the point of his mind that he was not needed anymore, he had to die, disappear. But I believe that when he had died….. he died not knowing he was still a hero…."
Kakashi's facial expression remained hidden.
"You're a liar! LIAR! YOU SAID YOU'D ALWAYS STAY WITH ME!"
Back then, you were still needed…."People who do not protect their friends are LOWER than trash!"
I needed you….
"I believe your father was a hero..."
Voices echoed through the Jounin's head.
He stood. "I'm sorry... but I have to go..." And suddenly, he jumped off the roof and landed on a lower one below and continued jumping rooftop to rooftop until he was out of sight.
Hikari was left there speechless. Why did he leave like that? Was it something she said? Did she hurt his feelings?
She sighed and scrambled to the staircase entrance. Then she muttered to herself, "Hikari-baka…"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
That was a stupid chapter... I'm going to get some critic reviews for this... I swear this must be a reincarnation of Fruits Basket because Hikari is so much like Tohru-san!
O… and Hikari is suppose to be 24….. just in case u were wondering…
Now I must cry because of my "Failure of a Chapter".(sulks in a corner)
