Recap:
A small smile tugged at his lips as his eyes focused on the sharp edges. His student had grown up so much while he was gone. A unsurpassable strength hid behind her gentle smile. Tearing his eyes from the shattered cup Kakashi began wandering around the apartment, slowly recognizing the place he had spent his free time. Walking up to his bedroom Kakashi's eyes focused on the clothes that were piled in the corner. The white circle standing out against the maroon fabric, 'What else have I missed?' The thought of his students lingered in his mind. 'If I can find sleep, tomorrow will be easier.' Falling into his bed Kakashi let sleep take over.
Chapter 2
Sun spilled into the room, quickly pulling Kakashi out of his sleep, "Good morning, Kakashi," Iruka called cheerfully as he continued to open the curtains. "The rain finally stopped, now to enjoy the sun!" he called happily.
Staring at the ceiling, Kakashi adjusted his headband sitting up in his bed. "What do you have planned," Kakashi growled loudly, making sure his disgust was known to the dark haired man.
Iruka smiled, ignoring the man's protest, "Naruto wanted you to come meet his students, as a special guest." Iruka gave a proud smile as Kakashi groaned. As Iruka's face became serious, he whispered, "It's something to do Kakashi," and with that Kakashi could only nod in agreement. Grinning to himself, Iruka walked out of the room, giving Kakashi time to get ready. A grey eye scanned the room, the window catching his intrest. Getting out of bed,Kakashi crawled out the window in his regular ninja like fashion. Reaching for the balcony Kakashi finally noticed Iruka's chalkra waiting, "Tsk tsk. Now you have to go."
"damn it."
Walking up to the academy gave Kakashi a bittersweet nostalgic feeling. Have I been gone that long? The young genin seemed so small in comparison to himself. "Iruka? Why am I really here?" Kakashi asked as his eyes scanned over the Academy students playing.
Iruka laughed nervously, "I was actually paid, by Hokage-sama, to bring you here…" Kakashi's eyes sharpened by the comment turning to glare darkly at the man, "No, no, no! Not like that Kakashi!" he said putting his hands up in defense.
"Sensei!" Kakashi's eyes were torn from the nervous shinobi only to see a blonde haired blue eyed goof ball. "I'm so glad to see you!" Naruto called happily, "I hope youre ready for some ramen!"
Kakashi couldn't help but agree to the man, seeing a change in Naruto that he had also missed. Naruto wore a green flank jacket, as did all the teachers. Shoving his hands in his pockets, Kakashi followed only a step behind Naruto as they walked into Ichiracku. He was taller, more defined than he was years ago, looking more like his father every day.
Sitting side by side in the empty ramen stand, "Miso, please," Kakashi asked kindly before Naruto got to order. It's still surprising how much he can eat, Kakashi thought wide eyed as Naruto finished his order of 7 bowls of ramen. "So you have students now?" Kakashi asked curiously, attempting better small talk than he had with Sakura
Naruto smiled, "You'd like them." He whispered quietly, "Theyre not from this village though," Naruto laughed nervously as he scratched his head. Kakashi's eyes widened slightly in confusion, ninja training with others from a different village was unheard of. Naruto gave a forlorn smile as he looked at the table, "Baa-chan made a deal with the villages. They're the last of hteir clans; rare bloodlines that could help our village in so many ways."
Kakashi's eyes narrowed, "You asked her to spare them."
Naruto gave a soft nod, "I couldn't watch the last of their clans just… die." His face filled with confusion and confliction, "I conviced baa-chan, saying I'd train them." Running his fingers through his hair, he gave a frustrated sigh, "They're strong for genin, she's worried that they'll grow out of control. Or worse, turn on the village like Sasuke-teme did…"
Calculating eyes looked over Naruto, trying to find a way to help his student. "What are they like?" he asked quietly, "personality wise."
Naruto looked up and couldn't help but smile, "Kamiko," Naruto started, "She's brilliant, there's honestly nothing she doesn't know. Calculating, very sure of herself but stubborn, always reliable in any situation. Then there's Takemaru," Naruto started, "He's great with his chain scythe. He's the leader of the group. Compassionate, optimistic, cooperative, everything a leader really needs." Naruto became quiet as he thought of his team.
Kakashi felt his hesitation, "And your last student?"
Naruto gave a goofy grin, "Tamori, she really shouldn't even be a ninja," he joked as he scratched his head, "She's beyond kind to everyone she meets, smart, shy, so strong, fearless when others are in danger."
Kakashi watched as Naruto's eyes gleamed with admiration for his students, "So why are you worried?" A bowl of ramen was placed in front of them, Naruto only staring into it as if it would give him the answers he needed, "Their blood lines? How powerful are they?" He asked as his brows frowned together.
"Kamiko, can control the chalkra of others. Takemaru, he can move at the speed of light, and Tamori… Well, at first I thought it was just her medical ninjutsu but later I found out that Tamori can take other bloodlines." Kakashi's eyes widened hearing the skills the children processed, "Kamiko's the youngest at 14 so, they're almost adults but baa-chan isn't certain if they're safe to be here."
Kakashi rubbed his temples, "From the sounds of it, they're a good team. Tamori is the only one who could pose a problem, such a strong bloodline…"
Naruto chuckled, "I'm more worried about Kamiko, she's still young and impressionable. You never know what she could turn out to be." He laughed as he findally picked up his chopsticks to begin eating. "Tamori's a good kid, I'm not too worried about her. Eh, baa-chan will see their skill soon enough!" he called out happily as he began slurping his noodles. "What have you been up to?" He muttered as he swallowed his noodles.
"Missions mostly," Kakashi chuckled as he put his chopsticks down. He always ordered, but never ate; he couldn't take his mask down. Naruto seemed happy with his answer, nodding as he finished another bowl. "Are you still doing missions, even with your team?"
Naruto nodded and laughed quietly, "We're allowed on B ranked missions, as a genin team! Can you believe that?" He grinned proudly, "But before that I went on ANBU missions a lot. This is the first time I've been home for longer than a month at a time."
They sat quietly as Naruto impatiently waited for his 7th, and final, bowl of ramen. "Iruka-sensei says it's your first time home for more than 3 days," Naruto states as his eye fell to his hands, "Baa-chan thinks you're uncomfortable," he watched Kakashi stiffen, "You don't like being here, do you?" he asked quietly.
The question caught Kakashi off guard, "It's not that I don't like it," Kakashi started, pausing to choose his words carefully.
Naruto smiled back at his sensei, "I think we all get like that after so many missions… Sakura-chan used to be like that too," sighing he stirred his ramen, "You prefer to be busy, distracted," Kakashi stayed silent even though he agreed completely, "Baa-chan says you just need time to adjust, but I'm here to help if you need me!" Naruto chimed happily. Chuckling, more to himself than anyone else, he mentioned, "Just get to know everyone again, by the time you do that you'll be free to go on missions."
Kakashi's brow rose in confusion, "What did Hokage-sama tell you?" he questioned quietly.
Drool dripped from Naruto's lips as his ramen arrived, "Nothing much, just that you cant go on missions, and that Sakura-chan's supposed to be training with you to help sharingan to work the right way again, and create some kind of cure for it." Kakashi's eyes widened he heard exactly what Tsunade had planned. Point his chopsticks at the older man Naruto gave a confused look, "You didn't know you could train did you?" Naruto only grinned as his sensei shook his head, "Oh, well, you might want to talk to Sakura-chan about that, she's the one in charge of your healing process."
Kakashi rose a brow in confusion, "Did Tsunade assign that?" He asked quietly as he remembered the night before.
Naruto shook his head, "Baa-chan wanted you off missions all together, but Sakura-chan pleaded and said that it would be better for you to have a type of physical therapy would be more appropriate." Naruto put air quotes on the word appropriate.
Kakashi couldn't help but chuckle, "What else does she have up her sleeve?" he chuckled as he pulled out his book.
Naruto scratched his cheek nervously and asked, "I don't know, honestly." He muttered uncertainly, "She became the lead medic and I haven't heard much from her since."
Kakashi became quiet as he looked down at the counter, "She's been alone while we've been gone," Kakashi pointed out quietly as his eyes shifted to the bowl of broth.
Naruto's smile fell, "That's another reason I came back, baa-chan said Sakura has been alone all this time. I couldn't stand to let that happen any longer…" he trailed off as sadness filled his eyes. Realization hit him quickly as he questioned, "How'd you know that?"
Kakashi shrugged his shoulders, "She stayed at the memorial with me," Silence fell over them both as Kakashi's lips tugged into a halfhearted smile, "Even when I pushed her away, she stayed."
A bitter chuckle left Naruto's lips, "She has a way of doing that, even Kurama likes her," Knowing that the Kyuubi liked the medic was a comforting fact to Naruto. "she's a comfort to everyone, that's why she's one of the lead medics, she puts everyone at ease."
Kakashi nodded fully understanding what Naruto was talking about. His fingers curled on reflex remembering the warmth of the woman during the rain. Kakashi's mind began wondering, to he white circle on her shirt, then to her porcelain legs as she wore his shirt. Mentally shaking the thought from his head Kakashi decided to change the subject, "So, training with Sakura, do you know when that's supposed to start?"
Naruto finished slurping the rest of his ramen and tried his best to remember, "A few days maybe? You can ask her tomorrow, she works at the hospital during the day." Naruto beamed happily, "And after, you can come visit me and my team!"
Kakashi nodded, not only did he need to speak with Sakura but the idea of seeing Naruto's team had peeked his curiosity. "I want to see them spar, if that's okay," Kakashi said in a curious tone.
Naruto grinned, "I'll make sure they're ready. Bloodlines and all!"
Alright guys! THat would be chapter two! I know the chapters are short but that just means I can get them out faster, yaknow? :3 I have ever intention of keeping it a Kakashi x Sakura fic so just kinda bare with me x.x but yeah :D please let me know what you guys are thinking?
Preview!
Kakashi walked over to the doorframe, watching the people inside. The second the gurney stopped in the room, Sakura sat up straight, ripping off her white coat and throwing it to the floor. With a black tank top and pair of black spandex shorts, Kakashi's eyes widened seeing the full woman that she was, but it wasn't her full breasts or her toned thighs or the suggestive position she was in. No, those weren't the things that caught his attention; it was the determination in her sea-foam eyes and the unrelenting willpower her chalkra held.
"Sai, don't you dare die on me," she growled darkly as she slammed her palms down against his chest, chalkra flooding through his heart. Pointing and yelling at all the nurses, Sakura kept a constant hand on Sai's chest, healing the wounds as blood spattered all over her hands.
Kakashi watched, wide eyed at the woman in front of him. Her tone had changed from the night before; firm and demanding. A proud grin slowly crept over his face as he watched her continue to heal the man. "it's not working Haruno-sama! His vitals are dropping!"
