Only You Understand My Pain
Kakashi x Hinata
Chapter 9
Lost on The Road of Life
He didn't plan on being late. He knew how everyone felt about him and his rather lame tardy excuses, but this time he truthfully and unhappily was held up.
"Damn Gai and his youthful bullshit!" He grumbled loudly as he made his way across the village square. "Genma should know after all these years only I can drink Gai under the table. Baka's!"
Why on Kami's earth did it have to be today of all days that Gai and Genma pulled their stupidity. Hinata was expecting him to start her training. Not that he hadn't been late so many times with his old genin team but for her it just seemed to give him a slight panic feeling to not show up promptly. He groaned again to himself as he thought of the reason for his tardy behavior. Apparently his rival and friend had decided to go on a rather large drinking binge the night before. Since he was not to be found Gai had taken it upon him himself to challenge Genma in his place. Making it now his unfortunate luck to find them both passed out in front of the large tiled fountain smack dab in the middle of the village market district. Being a good shinobi brother he knew he had to drag the two idiots home before Tsunade found out.
'Kami that woman is so two faced. It's just fine and dandy for her to get drunk and pass out in the middle of town but hell if anyone else can. Then again she has her little Shizune to drag her ass home.' He grumbled to himself truly vexed. So to prevent his comrades from the wraith of Tsunade he dragged their near unconscious bodies home.
After both men were tucked safely in at what Genma called home. An apartment near the red district. Trashy and cheap like most single jounin bachelors. He had to be thankful. He was lucky to still hold onto what was left of the Hatake clan's home. He inherite it after his father's suicide. His mind swirling over that horrible day. It had changed his thoughts in so many ways. Team and mission had to be separate priorities to maintain village honor. Teammates were not something he could afford to consider important. The mission the only thing of value. He had been so angered by his father's shame he swore the day of his fathers burial he would never make any ties to his new genin team. In the end he slowly realized how truly wrong he was. Obito and Rin never stopped pestering him to hang out outside of missions and training and in the end both had won over his stubborn ways. Yet he still kept team and mission objectives separated. Maybe if he had not been such a stubborn and ignorant ass Obito would be alive. His life might have taken a different path altogether if he had just followed Obito immediately to save Rin from her kidnappers. Maybe the land slide would never have taken place, stealing his best friend's life. Why did learning the lesson that teammates come before a mission have to be come with such a painfully high price.
'There is no living for the what if's now.' He chided himself. 'What's done is done. Now I have to accept my punishment for being so selfish.' Shaking his cobwebbed thoughts he resigned himself to his solitary life and rushed to the meeting spot.
When he approached the memorial he saw no sign of the raven haired rose.
'What the fuck did you expect Kakashi!" He rebuked himself. 'You are over an hour late did you expect her to just sit around forever.' Looking around again he sighed heavily till his eye spotted the pale blue rose. He had to smile slightly as he looked over to the other side finding a matching rose. Since the day he introduced her to his fallen friends she always placed one on the side that held their engraved names. His Mai Bara never ceasing to amaze him with her warm glow. It was the sound of crinkling paper that caught his attention. It was then he noticed the wind lightly blowing the edge of a lavender tinted paper pressed down by a small rock. His fingers gingerly moved the rock snatching up the reward it hid.
Kakashi,
I know you tend to get lost on the road of life so when you are done come find me. I will be down by the waterfall training.
Hinata
A small smirk crossed his lips as he jumped into the tree line making his way towards the forest waterfall.
It seemed she never failed to surprise him this small rose petal.
o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o
Kami - God
Baka - Idiot
Mai Bara - my rose
