Chapter 5: Comfort.
The Sondaime knelt beside the sobbing boy, " Kakashi, what is wrong?" he asked picking the still sobbing boy up and placing him on his feet.
Kakashi spilled out the story between sobs. Slowly his voice became stronger and then became sniffles. Then when the tale was finally finished Kakashi face was a stone hard mask. After digesting the tale, the Hokage took Kakashi by surprise and wrapped him in a bear hug before quickly releasing him. "Kakashi I offer my deepest condolences to you. Think it would also be wise to tell you friends what has happened. If you would like I can send a messenger to get them and have you meet them somewhere."
" I thank you Hokage-sama. Could you have them meet me at the cliff by the waterfall?" the older shinobi nodded and Kakashi parted with a bow and leaped out of the window and into the night
Obito and Rin found Kakashi sitting on top of the cliff, still as stone. Running up to him, Rin wrapped him in a hug. "Kakashi what has happened?" she whispered pulling Kakashi closer. Obito wrapped his arms around the pair of them. The trio sat like this until the stars were over their heads. To tired to move they fell asleep still in each other's arms.
When the sun was barely above the horizon, the awoke and somberly headed to their homes. Obito and Rin having only been told that Kakashi's father was dead did not know what to expect. Dressed from head to toe in black, they meet at the bridge. Each starred into the water, lost in their own thoughts.
"I thought that I would find you guys here," a cheery voice said. " But I want all of you to know that I will be here if any of you need to talk to someone. I am aware that ninja are not supposed to show any emotion, but what is the point from dieing in a mission because you are lost in sorrow. Now I think we need to get heading to the funeral." Their sensie walked off. Rin, Kakashi, and Obito hurried to catch him.
Few people knew how Sakumo had died, but among them were the Hokage and all of the Jonins, who has all turned up. Some ANBU were hidden in the shadows. Kakashi did not hear any of the words that were spoken or see anything but his father's forehead protector. Silently placing is rose next to the others he seemed like a ghost. And from that day forward one fifth of him seemed to be gone.
