How the hell am I supposed to get this into her? asked Kakashi loud enough so Sano could hear. Sano looked away from the space he was staring at and shrugged. "Well she's not totally unconscious…." said Sano. "Maybe she'll still drink the stuff," said Sano questioningly. Kakashi cocked his head to the side as if saying, "Might as well give it a try." Kakashi squats down next to you and takes a spoon out of the bowl that the soup is in. He carefully raised the spoon and poured its contents into your slightly open mouth. You feel it slither down your sore throat and into your stomach. You cough a little before swallowing it. After you don't totally choke on the first sip, Kakashi keeps repeating the act until the bowl is pretty much empty. After words he gets up and puts the bowl into the sink. He goes to sit next to Sano. Sano is in an armchair so Kakashi has to sit on the floor. "I wonder who she is?" asked Kakashi. "Probably some drug-addict hobo." said Sano. "Well, we better go to bed soon…it's late" said Kakashi heading towards his room. Sano nodded. Soon everyone was asleep, including you.
LATER THAT NIGHT
Kakashi awakens and can't seem to get back to sleep. He can't stop thinking about you. Sano is awakening as well when Sano shuts his door. Sano rubs his eyes. "What are you doing?" asks Sano sleepily. "Checking on her," Said Kakashi walking down the hall to where you lay. You are soaking wet. Your hair is plastered to your head and Kakashi can see that. He brushes the hair out of your eyes and wipes your forehead with his hand. "Her fever's breaking already." said Kakashi. "But she's shivering..." said Sano. "How is she sweating?" "That's what you do when you're sick," said Kakashi. Sano doesn't look surprised. After about 3 minutes, Kakashi and Sano both return to their beds and go back to sleep. In the morning Sano goes out to breakfast like he usually does and Kakashi waits a little while before meeting Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke at the street corner of his house. Before he leaves, he looks at you one last time. He doesn't really feel comfortable leaving you at his house alone, while you've got pneumonia, but he figures he can't help it but he can be a little bit late to Naruto and the gang.
Kakashi got home and found Sano was still out. You were still lying on the couch. Kakashi makes himself dinner and puts a little of what he made in the fridge for when Sano got home. He then went into his room and fetched the small bottle your medicine came in. He heated up some soup and put some of the medicine inside. He walked over to the couch where you lay sort of asleep and breathing lightly. Kakashi did what he did the night before and washed out the bowl then turned to the T.V. Sano came home shortly after.
5 DaYs LaTeR
You begin to hear voices in the far off distance. They don't sound happy or sad. They don't sound threatening or nice. They just are there. But you begin to hear them louder and closer. You didn't really think about them, until now. You feel your eyes flickering, and blurry lights and shapes. As hours go by, the shapes begin to sharpen and you can tell that they are people. You try to get a better angle but you find your body is stiff and it is hard to move. Then after another couple of hours you open your eyes a slit to see a curious looking man hovering over you. "Your awake..." says the man. "Hold on. Dr. K. Will be out in a moment," said the man. "Not knowing a thinking about what he is saying you work on moving around. Sano goes and knocks on the bathroom door. "Dr. K. Your patient has awakened." There is a loud Flush and Kakashi arrives at the side of the couch. "Where am I?" you manage to ask in a weak voice. "Your in my house," says Kakashi plainly with a bit of excitement in his voice. "How the hell did I get here?" you ask trying to stretch. "I brought you here," Kakashi says as if it were obvious. "Why did you do it?" you ask. "What was I supposed to do? Leave you out in the snow to die?" He asks. You look at him like he's crazy, you had no idea that people would do that for you. "Why?" you ask him somewhat pleadingly. "?" Kakashi mutters to himself.
"Why did you do this?" you ask him again. "I just told you. Wouldn't it be the right thing to do?" he asks. The right thing the words flash through your head. What was the right thing to do? How did he know that saving you would be the right thing? How? The word "How" escaped your lips and Kakashi went into a long description about how he found you behind the bushes. Of course you weren't really listening but you got the main part of the story. Kakashi looked at you after telling the story and you look up at him. Your face has a perplexed look on it. "I still don't understand why you're so confused," says Kakashi. "Well... I guess I understand," you say. You could only think of one thing to say. "Thank you," you tell him. "Your welcome." says Kakashi.
You couldn't think of a reason for him saving you like that. Was it because he pitied you? You couldn't come up with another reason. You had so many questions for him but you were too nervous to ask him.
5 days Later
As days went by, you got stronger. Kakashi eventually noticed that you were pretty much ok. Then 11th day of being with him he decided it was time for you to get off the couch. He got in front of you and held his hand out and you took it. He helped you to your feet. At first you were dizzy but then you got your balance and began to walk. You were still had a big problem with malnutrition and your size Small shirt looked huge on you. Kakashi noticed but knew better then to comment on a woman's weight. It took you a long time to begin trusting Kakashi. He was so nice to you but your past was so vivid in your mind you knew not to get too attached to anyone. One day he decided to take you to meet Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura. "Hey!" Kakashi said calling your from across the room. "You wanna come today?" he asks. "Ok," you say not really knowing what you are doing. You feel a little calmer around Kakashi. Kakashi held off the questions during your recovery time. I've got to find out more about her, thought Kakashi.
FLASHBACK
Sano: You should really find out more about her. I mean, what if she's a criminal or something? Or what if she is a drug addict. Kakashi: I don't think she's a drug addict Sano. I really don't, but she could be a criminal. You are worrying too much. What's wrong with you Sano? You never worry. Sano: Sano walks away
END FLASHBACK
You put on your light Jacket and warn tennis shoes. "You sure you're not going to be cold in that?" asks Kakashi.
"I'm fine. Thanks though," you say. You get up from tying your shoes and walk out the door with Kakashi. Then the questions come.
"So... Where are you from?" asks Kakashi. "Well...uhhhhhhhh..." I can't lie to him, you think to yourself. You decide to tell him some things. "A city." you say. "I see." says Kakashi. "A long way from here." you add. " How'd you end up here?" asks Kakashi. "Well...I'm not really sure. I guess I just walked and wherever I stop is where I am," you say. "Well that seems like a great plan," he says. "Yea... I guess so," you say blushing slightly.
"Do you have any family?" asks Kakashi sounding sort of nervous (as nervous as Kakashi can sound) "I would hardly call them family," you say. Why the hell did I just tell him that! No one can know about my past! "I see." says Kakashi again. "Well I think their all dead," you say. "My life wasn't normal. Lets just say that," you say to him as if you wanted to end the conversation. Kakashi pressed on though. "Do you know exactly where you come from?" he asked "Not exactly. It never was really important. Not the name of the city or anything. I know that our city was sometimes called the city of sins. Outcasts went there who had been kicked out of where ever they had lived before for whatever reason." Kakashi at once knows where you are talking about but he doesn't let on. Kakashi merely nods.
"Were you born there? Or did you venture there yourself?" he asks. "Well I think I wasn't exactly born there, but I grew up there. But I once talked about it with someone in the city. She was pretty much the nicest lady in the village. She told me that when I was about a year old, my parents showed up in the town when it was small and barley populated. The city grew and people from all over came in and heard that there were not really any laws. And, well with all these bad people in the city it wasn't the best place to live. I parents weren't very reliable. They didn't really care about me. They told me I was unusual and unwanted. They told me to stay on my own and that's what I did. I don't know what they told the others in the city but they seemed to all hate me. There was something about me that they all hated. Something that all made them stare. I still don't know why." Naruto thought Kakashi. You paused to take a breath. "Seems like a complicated story." says Kakashi. You had no idea why you had just told him half of your childhood. It just all came out and you couldn't stop it. You just had to tell it to someone. "Do you have any idea why people didn't like you?" he asked. "Well I could do stuff that other kids couldn't. Like sometimes I would be able to change where I was without walking," you say. "Well we're almost there," says Kakashi changing the subject because he can tell that if you tell anymore that you might start crying. There is a faint quiver in your voice but you soon get rid of it. Thankful that Kakashi changed the subject. You find yourselves at a large brown door. "Where are we?" you ask. "You'll see. "Oh yes...And we will go get something to eat." he says. You then realize how hungry you are.
Kakashi opens the door and you cautiously walk in. There are a lot of kids. "This is a training academy," says Kakashi. "For what?" you ask. "I got to go," you say turning around. "Go. Where?" he asks grabbing your arm. You know what they are training here. You remember the headbands. The outfits. Why hadn't it clicked into your head? "Ninja." you say calmly but slight worry in your voice. "Yes," says Kakashi. "Ninja were feared and HATED in my village. They once attacked the city because there were bad people in it and all that was left were some empty houses and 2 people. Many people died. People that others cared about. "I'm sorry," said Kakashi putting his hand on your shoulder. "They're all the same," you say shaking his hand off your shoulder. Why hadn't you noticed Kakashi's headband before? "You all look the same as the pictures of the ninja's that destroyed our city. But instead of that leaf on your headband, it was a new symbol. A symbol nobody had ever seen before. I still don't know what it was called." "The symbol on this headband can mean a lot," said Kakashi. "Do I seem half bad?" he asked. "No," you say sounding defeated and feeling guilty. You walk on with him thinking about what you had told him. "Well I don't think we have many bad ninja in this room," he said. "By the way, what is your name?" he asks randomly. "Sachi," you say quickly. "Sachi," he repeated. "Well I've known you for a long time and I still didn't know. So I guess I just asked," he said. You nod and you both walk into the room.
Standing there are Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. They look straight at you when you walk in with Kakashi. It makes you feel sort of awkward but you keep walking.
