DISCLAIMER: What can I say? I don't own Naruto. I'd like to give thanks to Misashi Kishimoto, his whole team, and everyone who made the anime possible. Naruto has helped a lot with my life.
A/N: Again, this is a KAKASHI/OC. MEANING SAIYAKA HINAKO IS MINE AND YOU SHOULDN'T FREAK ABOUT HER BEING IN THE ANIME/MANGA BECAUSE SHE WASN'T.
The Rose Family
The rose is a rose,
And was always a rose.
He made Saiyaka giggle on the inside. His funny little way of hiding anything she might worry about. His cute little face he'd make when Saiyaka would do something that intrigued him. His loving hands that'd pick her up when she was down— physically and mentally. The way, after thirteen years, she just dropped into his life and he took her in like it was nothing. How somehow their friendship was stronger than a bond between brother and sister, when they had only known each other for a little amount of time.
But then there was the aching moments she knew she didn't want it to be just a friendship. And Saiyaka knew how bad that could feel. Even Hatake Kakashi could see it. But he didn't say anything. He didn't want to hurt her.
But now the theory goes
That the apple's a rose,
And the pear is, and so's
The plum, I suppose.
She wanted so much more expected from him, and they both knew it. It was plain, obvious; she even pointed it out rather bluntly at times. But no luck could prevail, for someone like Kakashi wasn't meant to love. He was meant to protect— himself and those around him. What better way to protect than to cover her heart with wishing smiles?
The dear only knows
What will next prove a rose.
And so they both sat quietly, content almost, with their fingers gingerly wrapped around their porcelain cups. Their eyes burned deep into the red, sugary water, with thoughts no one could express. They kept quiet, because if they talked, they knew one of them would ruin their fake expressions and feelings.
Even if it seemed that way, their love was not one-sided.
You, of course, are a rose
But were always a rose.
I just wanted to see how people would react to this, and I hope you liked it. I'm a Kakashi fangirl, so I have many, many of these. Review, please, and make it nice.
It was meant to be cute and fluffly, not serious or anything.
