Disclaimer: KAKASHI IS MINE, BITCHES! I don't care what all of you do with the rest of Naruto's gang, because Kakashi is MINE! xD
Ok, right now I feel SO guilty. I shouldn't give you any excuses, it's been months since I've updated. The reason I haven't is entirely my fault…I got grounded from the computer…for doing something very, very bad. Yeah lets just leave it at that.
God I will totally understand if nobody reads this, I don't deserve an audience anymore. But I guess if any of you are reading this you're probly getting pissed I'm not getting on with the story, here we go…

Sun flowed through the branches of the trees surrounding a small stream, where a silver-haired man filled a small canteen full of the clear liquid. He was unshaven and dirty, but beneath the grime hid what was once the most gorgeous face in Konohagakure.
He did not enjoy the sun at all, or the pleasant coolness of the water.
A nagging worry for the raven teen he was caring for tormented his every thought. They were stranded in the middle of the wilderness of a powerful enemy, and they were running out of food. Fast.
Walking back to the cave where he had been hiding Sasuke, the Jounin decided he had to start planning a way to get back to Konoha. He wasn't very educated in medicine, and he didn't know whether Sasuke was dying or simply in pain from his leg.
The raven woke Kakashi up constantly at night with screams of pain, and sometimes he would yell out about things…he was sure couldn't be related to his leg. About Itachi, and Orochimaru.
Each time this happened, the man had to stop him before it was possible that any of their enemy had heard. That was the thing Kakashi was afraid of most, he couldn't let the teen get caught. Their lives would be over then.
During the day the Jounin would attempt to get Sasuke to talk, and sometimes he would start moaning, and then suddenly faint.
Kakashi kept the teen's leg in a tight splint at all times, hoping that he had aligned the bones correctly.
Sasuke also had a horrible cut on his chest, and the cloth of his shirt had been embedded into the cut when it had been made. Kakashi tried countless times to clean it out, but each time the raven would lash out and claw at his chest, scraping the skin clear off.
He would also scream at the top of his lungs in pain, which put them in more danger. The silver-haired man couldn't stand hearing his cries, knowing he was causing the beautiful raven that agony.

The night of the fifth day of this, Kakashi decided he had to get them back to the village. He had no idea how, though.
Sasuke was in no condition to travel. It would be impossible for the Jounin to carry him all the way back to the village.
He decided he would wait. While he waited for the teen to heal enough to travel, he would gather all the supplies needed for the journey.
While Kakashi was thinking about what he would have to do to save the raven, he had been awake. Disoriented and at a high from his pain, the teen was thinking strange thoughts.
He watched the man, and wondered why he was sitting in a cave with such a dirty man. Then he thought it must be that they were on a mission. Then why did his body ache so agonizingly? He groaned.
The man's eyes flicked over to him. Seeing that Sasuke was awake, he gave the teen a friendly lopsided grin.
That man has beautiful gray eyes, he thought. Like the color of the sky when it's the first snow of the year in my village. What is my village? Maybe he knows. Wait! He has…a sharingan eye, like mine. Underneath all that dirt, he must be very attractive. I feel like I know him. But I don't remember anything…I wish I could ask him, but its nice just watching him.
Sasuke looked down at his leg, which was causing him more pain than anything else. It was in a makeshift splint, tied together by a blue cloth. It looked familiar.
"Kakashi?" the raven offered to the man.
"Yes." He replied.
"Where are we? Where are we from? Who are YOU?" he blurted out.
"Don't you remember anything?" The Jounin said softly, looking into the teen's onyx eyes.
"No…but I think it's a big deal for some reason that I can see your whole face…is it?" he mused.
"Well, normally I wear a mask, but I had to use it on your splint. I guess you could say that it's a big deal, you've known me for about five years and this is the first time you've seen my entire face," Kakashi told him, looking away.
"Why would you cover your face like that?" Sasuke asked him. "Even under all that grime I can tell…you definitely aren't unattractive," he added, blushing.

Hmmmm…. how will Kakashi react to Sasuke saying that? I forgot how much I love writing LTP. Ah, it's good to be back. If any of you is kind enough to review, I could just kiss you. Because I really think that I don't even deserve it.
