Chapter


"See you tomorrow Hatake-sensei!"

Kakashi nodded towards the students walking passed him with a small smile. "Don't talk to strangers and look both ways before crossing!"

They laughed at that.

"What's with that?"

"What are we elementary students?"

"We will!"

He chuckled and shooed them off with a small smile. "Go home!"

The three girls giggled and chorused an overly peppy "Hai!" and headed down the hall, pushing and giggling as they went.

He sighed and ran a hand through his silver locks. Flipping his record book open, he checked if he had anything to deal with this afternoon and grinned when he found his schedule free from private tutoring and detention duty. He hummed a familiar tune he heard earlier on the radio as he peeked in each classroom to check if anyone was still inside and grinned when he found none. He slipped into the room wordlessly and pulled out a chair as he settled in the desk on the farthest corner. Kakashi stared out the window overlooking the courtyard and watched the students slowly disappear from school grounds.

He glanced behind him and smirked when he saw the door still closed and stood up to push one of the windows open. He sighed and shrugged off his jacket before loosening the tie around his neck as he pulled out his cigarette packet from behind his back pocket and grabbed a stick with his teeth.

"Smoking is prohibited on school grounds."

"Shit!"

Kakashi shoved the packet inside the table and snatched the stick from his mouth. A nervous laugh escaped his lips and his mind wracked for excuses. "Ahaha…this is not what it looks like...Oh."

Sasuke smirked. "Hey sensei."

"Ha-ha," He pulled out a lighter. "Very funny,"

Sasuke's smirk didn't drop as he made his way towards the disgruntled adult. "I meant what I said about smoking not being allowed on school grounds."

Kakashi lit the cigar and sighed in bliss when the euphoric taste of nicotine filled his senses. "Don't care."

The raven haired teen laughed and joined him by his place near the window reached for the packet with a tired sigh. "You know smoking in front of a student destroys your reputation as a teacher."

Kakashi chuckled. "What reputation? The one where I'm a major pervert? Or the one with the ex-mafia shit?"

Sasuke frowned and pulled out a stick of cigarette. "These things kill you by the minute."

"Well…I'm an adult who makes adult decision," He exhaled and smoke clouded his vision. "My cute little student doesn't need to worry about me."

Sasuke scoffed, shoving the stick back into the carton and throwing the packet back to the silver haired male. "Some adult."

"Let a man have his vices," He chided. "The life of a high school teacher is much more stressful than you would think." He reached to ruffle his raven locks as he would have done in the past but the teen moved away from his touch and glared.

"Don't mess up my hair." Sasuke growled. "And stop treating me like a little kid! I'm already seventeen."

Kakashi smirked. "And yet all I see is that spoiled little boy with the brother complex who still wouldn't leave my little pinky alone."

"S-Shut up!" Sasuke blushed. "I don't have a brother complex! And Sakura's not yours either!"

He laughed at that. "Hai, hai. Sasuke-kun should know when sensei is joking."

Sasuke scowled and ran a hand through his raven locks. "We were kids, and Sakura just came into our lives at that time looking like some pretty toy."

"A toy you say?" Kakashi smirked. "My, my Sasuke-kun Sakura would be heartbroken to hear you say that after all these years."

A look of horror flashed through his face as he stuttered out an excuse taking it all back.

Kakashi laughed. "Haha, calm down, you know Sakura and I don't talk much. So my lips are pretty much sealed."

Sasuke released an exasperated sigh and collapse on one of the nearby chairs. "Don't tease me like that…" He buried his face into the crook of his arms and groaned. "It's not funny."

'It really is though,' Kakashi thought as he smiled and ruffled his locks. "You and Naruto were pretty cute back then," He laughed. "Always following me and Sakura around like little puppies."

"We weren't following you." Sasuke smacked his hand away. "You just happen to be there every time we played together… you pedophile."

Kakashi flicked him on the forehead. "Oi."

"Ita-!" Sasuke glared and moved away. "Damn old man."

Kakashi laughed. "Respect your elders Sasu-chan."

Sasuke flinched at the mention of his old nickname and moved towards the door. "I'm heading home! Just finish your damn rounds and stop smoking you perverted sensei!"

Kakashi grinned and shooed him off. "Will do!"

Sasuke paused at the door and glanced at him over his shoulder. "…She's sent me and Hyuuga home again," He turned to fully stare at him once more. "Naruto tried to peal her off from her desk but she wouldn't budge."

"…Really now," Kakashi killed his cigarette and ran a hand over his face. "Is she doing budget reports again?"

Sasuke shook his head. "Appeals for club money."

"How many this time?"

"A couple of hundreds."

Kakashi sighed. "That girl…"

The final warning bell sounded.

"I'd better get going, Nii-san is waiting for me by the station." Sasuke glanced at the clock and slid the door open. "Just… Do what you always do."

"I'm not allowed to go near her at school remember?"

Sasuke looked back and smirked. "School ended an hour ago."

Kakashi watched as he walked away, leaving the door open. He stared at the door and noted as his student's footsteps grew fainter by the second.

"You're the second person to tell me that."


Kakashi allowed his head to land on his desk with a painful thud. "Ow…"

He angled his head so he could glare at the pitiful excuse of an essay his students had given him. Sluggishly he reached for a red marking pen, ready to pass on divine judgment to his idiotic students. Starting with one Uzumaki Naruto-san. He eyed the first sentence with disdain and sighed as he encircles the words "Dattebayo!" When will this child learn that essay writing must not include his ever present catchphrase?

He scanned the rest of the paper encircling more grammatical mistakes as he does and laughs at the crudely drawn picture of what seems to be the blond himself plus a disfigured blob with a frown with spiky hair that was supposed to be Sasuke and a red mess of squiggles with hearts around it. He scribbled some insults directed on the drawing with an arrow pointed at it. After that he places the paper on his "done" side and set out to finish grading the papers. Ten passable and twenty disgraceful papers later, he stretched on his seat and let out a long sigh of relief as he was finally done. He glanced at the clock and groaned when he saw the time.

8:30 P.M.

"Friday night and I have nothing else better to do..." He shoved some papers in his bag and searched for his keys while he shoves the graded papers into his work desk. "I should've just brought this stuff home."

He locked the door behind him as he exited the office and walked through the dark halls of the empty school. He fiddled with his phone, checking for new messages as he went and stopped short when he saw a text from a certain pink haired girl's mother.

Kakashi-kun! I do hope that Sakura delivered the stuff I asked her to give you. That girl is too busy for a high school student. How have you been?

Anyways I would like to ask you if you could keep an eye out on Sakura today, she had been running a slight fever last night but she insists on coming to school. Something about a sport team was it? I know Sakura doesn't want you being bothered by her but please see it that she comes home fine, my stubborn daughter.

Come visit soon! Satoshi-kun wants to have you over for dinner to discuss about the game this Sunday!

-H. Hanako-san

He stared blankly at the screen of his phone before sighing. His eyes traveled to the dark building adjacent to his position and stared at the lone room with the light still on.

"That little brat."


For some reason, interaction between Kakashi and Sasuke has been a thing for me.
