Curse of the Lycanthrope 2
Chapter 3
A conversation like we had so long ago
Sakura continued to inhale through her nose. "Man, am I tired." She said aloud.
"Ehem." She heard someone clear their throught from in front of her. She looked up to see Kakashi standing on the front post of the bed. No more wolf tail or ears. Probably because he now looked fully human. Like nothing had happend. "Can I help you?" he asked in the same tone he used when Naruto was being an idiot when they first became genin.
"I should be the one asking you that." She said.
"What? Sakura, I live here. I think I have a rght to be here." He said in a way that she hadn't heard in a long time. He spoke all the while he was tapping his foot impatiantly. Sakura couldn't help but wonder how he managed to keep his balance on the thin wooden bed post. "Why're you here? You forget how to get home or somthing?" he asked kindly, patiantly waiting for her answer.
"I..." Sakura couldn't bring herself to speak. She chose her words in her head, carefully. "I can't go back home. Too many memories." She said. "My parents. They're-"
"I know." Kakashi cut her off. "But there are memories here too." He drawled slowly while turning to look at the place where both Iruka and Naruto were slaughtered.
"I know. But I feel better here. Please can I stay? I just..." She faded out, drowning in her own despair. Kakashi closed his eyes and stared up at the ceiling thoughtfully.
"Well, I guess it won't be doing any harm. If you really want I guess it's okay." He said in the same slow speaking voice. Sakura looked up happily.
"Thanks sensei." She said. For some reason, just saying that brought back memories of happier times.
Cloud Arcanine: Sorry for the shortness, I hope this was good :).
