Kakashi's pov.
I sat in the hospital bed for an hour now…Tsunade must've scared everyone away. I still can't believe I have to do this… I don't even know what it is!
I know that Tsunade will discharge me tomorrow but I still have his bad feeling in my stomach like something bad will happen.
I sighed I realized there's no going back on this. I know there's nothing I could do but, I don't want anybody getting involved in this. I know it will be hard but I need to be strong for all the people I love.
When I looked at the window the door suddenly flew open.
"Hey brat! Why can't you teach this student of yours to follow strict directions from the hokage?"
I saw Tsunade holding or more like pulling my 16 year old comrade. And I also saw Sakura by her side; obviously they teamed up to sneak in
"B-b-but obaachan…team 7's motto was…AW! We will never let our comrades down! OUCH!" I smiled at the scene. Naruto manage to say that while his ear was in a death grip of Tsunade.
"Yeah he's right shishou!-" of course I knew she wanted to say more but she couldn't … thanks to her master's death glare.
"Gah! Will you two shut the hell up? The brat's about to get released tomorrow, couldn't you at least wait?" she let go of Naruto's ear and closed her eyes. The poor boy lost his balance and sat down on the floor rubbing his red ear.
There was along period of silence until Naruto broke it
"Ne, can we go in now?" he stupidly asks
When the godaime's eyes opened they were half furious half calm. It was creepy but I got used to it after a few s-rank missions.
I heard her sigh and said "fine but only a few minutes okay?"
"It worked!" Naruto yelled and because of that the hokage gave him a glare
"What worked?" she gritted out
Naruto's smile vanished when it was replaced by fear
"Nothing shishou, you know Naruto his idiot and all…hehehe" Sakura started making up. Note to self improve their lying skills.
"Well I'll just call you when I need to talk to him so good bye!" she stormed out of our sight and the two sat down in the chairs by my bed,
"Sensei…will anything be back to normal?" Sakura said.
"Don't worry…I'm not sure but … we'll all try to make things normal
"Sensei, I know it's a little weird asking this but…"
"But what Naruto?"
"Well… could Sakura and I …uh hug you?"
I stared for awhile. I'm pretty sure Sakura wanted to ask that too
"WELL OFCOURSE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO-"
"Sure" I cut him off. Even if I'm not their sensei anymore, it's still my job to comfort them.
I offered them both an arm. After a second I could feel tears running down their cheeks and on to my shoulder.
The moment they let go, they were already wiping their tears away. I grinned at them; well of course they can't see it so…
"Hey, if it would cheer you up I could show you my face…" I started slowly. I expected them to yell out and say 'gotcha!' but I didn't got it instead I saw them smiling at me
"Sensei, are you sure you want to show us? The idiot right here could sell the information to the entire woman in konoha" I knew she was kidding but unfortunately Naruto's face told me he was planning to.
"I'll take the chance…that is if you want to" I tempted them
"Hell yeah we want to!"
"Okay then." I said as if it was a warning
I slowly pulled it down and…
Naruto pov
I saw sensei pulling his mask down. The pressure was killing me. When we saw his face it made the both of us gasp. Sensei's so handsome. He had a long nose and his lips are thin but not that much. In other words he was perfect!
It made me think why he wore a mask.
Sakura pov
Oh my god! Sensei is so handsome
The look on Naruto's face told me he was thinking the same thing. I can't look away. His face is like hypnotizing me. DAMN IT!
Kakashi pov
Maybe I shouldn't have showed them. Oh man here comes the questions. I sighed as I prepared for the one and only question people kept asking me when they saw my face
"WHY THE HELL DO YOU WERE THAT DAMN MASK!" they yelled in unison
I sighed again I imagined a quieter reaction but I answered the question anyway
"Well number 1 to not get that sort of reaction every time someone sees me." I paused as I saw them blush
"Number 2 is because …"I paused what could I say? Because of my father? Force of habit or the shame?
"Because of what sensei?" I heard Sakura ask
"Well because of a lot of things. I'll tell you that in the right time don't worry…"
I reassured them.
"Oh okay" they both said
I saw the hint of disappointment in their face.
"Well tomorrow I'll be released so let's get some ramen, my treat"
I saw their faces brighten up.
"Okay but on one condition!" Sakura challenged me
"Sure"
They looked at each other while grinning
"You won't were your mask while eating!" they both said in unison.
A few hours later I woke up and saw Naruto and Sakura holding my hands while they sleep
I felt as if my heart melted. So I slept again…smiling.
Normal pov
Two figures watched the 3 ninjas just outside the copy-nin's room.
"He showed him huh?" the sannin asked
"Yeah! At times like this I regret keeping secrets" the blonde woman chuckled
"it wasn't our choice he got stuck with this problem… but seeing them like this …nobody can't help but feel guilty"
"If only he doesn't have all the burdens of his past to carry…"
