K hai. The 1st chap'll probably be the longest so excuse the shortness of this xD I dont know how much I'll post these but I'll try to post them somewhat daily.
Oh and hope you like the deep moment, heh. Do you know whats coming?


It had been 20 minutes of walking until they reached a town. Though it wasn't even their destination. Naruto pouted. "Kakashi sensei?"
"Yeah?" Kakashi was still scanning his book.
"Do you not get tired of reading the same books over and over again?" Naruto asked. Kakashi shot a look at Naruto quite like Sakura's death glare or Captain Yamato's scary face. And he did it with one eye.
Naruto's expression turned to freaked out and scared. "Ok ok I'm sorry!" It was weird seeing Kakashi glare, since he was always so laid back.
Kakashi started laughing. "Take a joke." He said.
Naruto stared. "Hey! No fair, you looked serious!" He exclaimed causing half the village to stare at him. Kakashi sighed and waved a dismissive hand at Naruto, getting back to his book.
Naruto sighed and pouted again. "Kakashi sensei?"
Kakashi kept staring at his book. "What is it now, Naruto?"
"Why do you always look sleepy?" Naruto asked. Sakura glared at Naruto angrily and Sai got nervous.
Kakashi stopped and shut his book. The 3 started sweating nervously.
But when Kakashi turned around he was smiling.
"Wanna stop with the questions?" Kakashi bopped Naruto on the head with his book and walked on again. They all breathed a sigh of relief. Sakura punched Naruto for being rude.

That day they walked through the town taking a bath, shopping then getting a room for the night in a little hotel.
At dinner they all sat down to eat. Naruto stared as Kakashi knelt with them. "No way!" He grinned. If he's eating he has to take off the mask, right?
"That's right. No way." He smiled. "I've already ate."
Naruto pouted angrily. "Hmph." He said. Sai smiled and Sakura huffed as well.
"I want to talk to you guys about something." Kakashi enquired while they ate.
"Okay, spit it out." Naruto said.
"It's about-" Kakashi started but was cut off as Naruto interrupted.
"Yeah, we've been wanting to talk to you about that as well!"
Kakashi sighed and face-palmed it.
"You've been acting really weird. Are you sure you're okay, Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto said with the utmost seriousness.
Kakashi's eyes opened for once. He looked at them as any other would, instead of looking half asleep all the time. Sakura and Sai blinked at his change in demeanour.
"Is this normal?" He pointed to his eyes. They shook their heads. "Of course it's not. But I'm not doing that kind of thing so I'm fine." His eyes went back to normal.
Naruto shook his head. "That doesn't really make sense-"
"Enough Naruto." Kakashi silenced him. Naruto narrowed his eyes, Sakura's suspicion rose once more and Sai... Just smiled.

Late that night, Naruto was still awake. He stared at the boring white ceiling of their hotel room and decided to eat something. He quietly stood up and crept through to the kitchen. But something stopped him, he saw Kakashi sitting out on the edge of the balcony. Naruto grabbed some instant ramen and stuck it in the microwave.
He crept up to the glass and was about to slide it open when Kakashi put his head down. Naruto had never saw him act like this so he watched rudely. Kakashi out his head in his head and took his head band off. He stared at it for a while, then at the stars. Naruto stood looking bewildered. He decided to leave him be but then the microwave beeped to show that the ramen was ready. Kakashi instantly jumped down and turned. When he saw Naruto he sighed. He opened the glass door.
"What are you doing Naruto?" He asked.
"I- I- well, you see... I was just making some... Uh... Ramen!" He quickly rushed to get his ramen
"At this time? Why are you even up?" Kakashi narrowed his eye.
"I couldn't sleep." Naruto looked down at his ramen.
"What's on your mind?" Kakashi asked gesturing to the balcony. Naruto smiled and sat with his sensei on the balcony.
"I'm not sure but I guess...-" Naruto started but for once it was Kakashi that interrupted him.
"Sasuke? The village? The war? Everyone at home? Yeah, same with me." Kakashi smiled at him. Naruto nodded.
"Yeah pretty much." He sighed and looked at the sky. Kakashi looked at him with sad eyes. The next thing he did was unexpected. Kakashi grinned and slapped Naruto on the back friendlily. It certainly was a weird thing for Kakashi to act kinda like Guy.
"It's okay, life's like that. Take one thing one step at a time. This war looks like it might come before Sasuke. Everyone's life will be at stake so think of them, they're just as worried as you. But as I said, Naruto, your not just the hero of a book that Master Jiraya wrote, your a hero of the Leaf, you could be more. But what's most important is that your a hero to your friends.
I mean if you hadn't convinced Nagato to stop I would still be dead. I said that you did good because you can do so much more. As the son of my sensei- the 4th Hokage, and as my student, you should surpass us both, Naruto."
Naruto blinked in surprise. Kakashi had never been so open to him before. At the mention of Jiraya and his father and Sasuke and how his sensei was calling him more than a hero Naruto's eyes started to sting. He wasn't exactly the best person at controlling his emotions after all. Naruto looked away.
"... Thanks. Kakashi sensei." He smiled at his sensei who had spotted the glassy eyes of his student. He had moved someone. Hah, how amazing.
"Eat that Ramen. You didn't make it for nothing." Kakashi said, swinging his legs around. He put his hand down on the balcony as he was leaving.
"See you later." He shoved his hands in his pockets and left.
Naruto let a tear out but wiped it away. When he looked beside him he realised Kakashi had left his headband beside him. He turned around to give it back but Kakashi was gone.
He sighed and looked at the headband. Why would he leave it here?
Naruto finished his noodles and cleaned up. Then he brought Kakashi's headband through and laid it onto Kakashi's belongings. Naruto then made his way to his bed and fell asleep almost immediately.

When the trio awoke, Kakashi had just finished eating. Naruto pouted angrily even though he was half asleep.
"I didn't even- yaaawwwnnn- get to see. Dammit."
Kakashi shook his head and stood. "Get ready quickly, we're not even close to our destination."
He suddenly felt faint. Oh... Just when he thought the strange illness was gone, it had peeped its ugly head up, again.
Naruto narrowed his eyes, Sakura did the same but Sai obeyed Kakashi's orders. Kakashi cleared his throat.
"Have you seen my headband by the way Naruto?" He asked after he recovered from the stab of dizziness and pain that made him feel faint.
"Uh... I left it on your belongings. Last night you left it outside." Naruto pointed to his backpack and stuff that was now all neatly folded.
"Last night!?" Sakura exclaimed.
"Ah... Well- um...-" Naruto stumbled for words. Kakashi shook his head.
"I was awake in the middle of the night and I must've woke him. He must have seen me leave my headband outside on the balcony or something..." He scratched the back of his head. "We'll... I guess then I'll just have to keep my Sharingan eye closed all day-"
Naruto, Sakura appeared at once, offering him their own headbands. Sai followed suit.
Kakashi's heart melted for a moment. He looked at them all, completely shocked.
"It's okay guys! Seriously I'll just get a temporary replacement." He smiled and waved them off. "But thanks anyway."
Naruto nodded and tied his headband on, Sakura and Sai did the same. They all left Kakashi to get their stuff and Kakashi stood there. Shocked. But touched. He looked down at his gloved hands then back at his students hurrying, Naruto and Sakura arguing as usual and Sai smiling as usual.
Kakashi went hunting in the stores for a casual headband or something like that. Keeping his Sharingan eye open so he didn't look like a creep, though it didn't really help. By luck he found a headband that was a similar colour to his previous one. Of course it had no Leaf Shinobi sign on it but it was good enough for the moment.

When Kakashi walked up to them, Naruto burst out laughing.
"That looks ridiculous!"
Sakura blushed because she was laughing as well, Sai decided to join in even though he didn't really understand why they were laughing.
"Ha Ha, very funny. Let's go." Kakashi waved them off. "Or would you rather I took this off so that I can read your minds ALL day?" He smirked. Naruto, like an idiot, said:
"What? Sharingan can read minds!? I had no idea!" He grinned. Kakashi's expression dropped.
"No Naruto they can't. I was being sarcastic." He shook his head. "As I said, let's go." And with that they shot off away from the village.

As they travelled through the tree's, Kakashi became faint again. At this time out of all times?! When he was jumping in between tree's!? He refused to let it become the better of him and kept pushing on, touching his head once in a while.
After a couple of minutes Kakashi tripped. Naruto caught him in time, and Kakashi laughed.
"Sorry about that. I would've been fine on my own though." He said while he regained his balance. Naruto pouted and Sakura narrowed her eyes.
"There's something your not telling us." She said. "Right, Kakashi sensei?"
Kakashi flinched, not feeling himself anymore. He didn't usually flinch.
He shook his head and said;
"There's nothing wrong with me."
Sakura shook her head, "Lets take a rest here." She said, dropping down onto the ground beneath the tree's. Naruto and Kakashi both groaned and Sai followed suit.
"Well, looks like we're resting." Kakashi sighed as he too, dropped down. Naruto and Sai followed.

"Hey guys look what I found." Sakura's voice came from behind a tree somewhere. The 3 found her holding an old sword hilt. It was a broken sword, only a little of the blade was still there- plus it looked really old, like it had been there for a decade or more.
Kakashi stopped dead when he saw it. Was it?! It couldn't be! That means... He couldn't speak. He couldn't move. He was shocked.
Sakura had been yapping to Naruto about the sword and she looked at Kakashi.
"How long d'you think this sword's been here Kakashi sensei?" Sakura asked a stiff Kakashi.
Kakashi looked blankly at the sword.
All he could think of was...


OMG what sword is it ? :0 Find out in tha NEXT CHAPTER! . Ha I'm annoying...
