Do you remember me?
Kurenai watched as Kakashi backed away letting four other people come into view. One wore a green jumpsuit and a chunnin vest. Another was shorter than the rest and had purple marks on her cheeks that were slightly hidden by her long brown hair. The second female had on a long trench coat and had spikey hair. The last person caused Kurenai to pause and look at him. The last time they had been in the presence of each other, he had been much shorter. He still had that stupid haircut and his signature cigarette hanging from his mouth.
"Kurenai..is it really you? Oh, we thought you were dead!" Rin ran to her old friends side and hugged her, not knowing what to except. Kurenai did not push her away.
"Rin. It's been awhile. How are you? How are all of you?"She looked back and forth betweeen Rin and the others before Gai came running over screaming something about how youth never seams to fade even in death or something.
She blocked them all out as he approached. She turned her head and smiled at him the way she always used to. It was the one thing in the world that could knock him down if it were a punch.
Kakashi placed a hand on his friends shoulder and gave him a reassuring look. Asuma nodded and went towards the rest of the babbling crowd that had formed around Kurenai's hospital bed. Rin broke away from the group and stood with Kakashi a moment before laughing.
"Whats so funny?" He asked her.
"You. You're just standing here. She's gonna think you don't like her or something." She continued as he looked at her, slightly upset. He placed a hand to his heart and gasped comically.
"That hurt. I thought you really cared for me Rin. You just made me an even bigger emo than I was before."
