"Hokage-sama." Kakashi's voice echoes in the room and Hiruzen sighs, already knowing what is to come.
"Tell me, Hokage-sama, that you know what you are doing. Tell me." His most valued soldier tells him so woodenly he has to look up.
There is bitter anger and shock in that lone gray eye, a sight Hiruzen has not seen for some time.
"Manami is a viper, Kakashi-kun." Hiruzen runs a hand over his face, "I need her to mess up. I put Haruno-chan under observation. The ANBU squads are already raring and ready to go."
Kakashi watches him coolly. "She is my student, Hokage-sama. If you do not pull her out of the situation soon, I will."
"I suppose that is the most I can ask for."
Kakashi is gone in the next second, a poof of smoke left in his wake, the two wide-eyed, shocked boys disappearing with him.
Hiruzen looks up at the ceiling. "I do hope you can forgive me, child. I only mean to do it for the greater good."
Tell me what you think! I hope you enjoy it :)
