Kakashi awoke the next morning in the hospital. The sun from the window was shining on his face as if he had been granted a new life more perfect then the previous life; and as if the last life was a life shrouded in the darkest of shadows.

He tried to get up but he halted at the stabbing pain in his stomach and he felt light headed.

"You shouldn't get up you've lost a lot of blood" a voice came from the corner of the white room.

Kakashi's eye darted to the young man in the corner.

"I...Iruka...?" Kakashi said with a weak smile.

Iruka got up out of his chair he had rested in most of the night. "So how do you feel."

"I've been... eh... better..." He said shifting into an up right position. "What... happened...cough"

"The mission or why you're still alive?"

"Did think... of the second one... but why am I... now that you mention it."

"Well as you probably know you had a huge hole in your torso... but that is taken care of thanks to of Tsunade." Iruka said walking up to the bed Kakashi was on. "You'll probably be a bit sore for the next few weeks...but you'll be staying at my place for a while because I know how much you hate the hospital."

"Thanks, but you shouldn't have to deal with a burden like me."

"Oh it's no trouble at all."

Later that day at Iruka's House...

Iruka helped Kakashi into bed.

Iruka smiled but it soon faded into a concerned expression.

"What's wrong?" Kakashi asked as Iruka's eye started to water.

"I thought you were dead and I realized that I would really be lost if you were gone."

Kakashi looked at Iruka with caring eyes. "It's alright I'm okay now..." He said with a false smile that faded quickly. Iruka wiped a tear from his face trying to keep his composure but soon lost it as Kakashi leaned over and rapped his arm around him and patted his back.

Later that night Iruka brought in a tray of food to Kakashi and sat down next to him; they ate in silence. As they finished and Iruka picked up the tray and started to get up but was stopped by an arm pulling him back by his waist. Kakashi pulled him down on to the bed and pinned him to the bed.

Iruka gazed up into Kakashi's.

Sorry To cut it short but I wanted to get this out pretty early what do you think.
