Kakashi stayed in the room for almost five days before her condition changed at all. And in that four in a half days, he had eaten only three times, and slept very little. He had been to afraid to close his eyes, afraid that Naruto or as they had been calling her Narutko, a bloody irritating name in Kakashi's opinion. He refused to call Naruto by such an irritating name and had told Sakura that once the girl woke up, and felt better she could pick her own damn name.
He was sitting in at his make shift desk shuffling through the paper work and growling about outlawing any and all kind of paper aside from toilet paper when he heard an alarming loud beeping sound that made him almost jump out of his skin. The moniter for her heart was beeping like mad and it took him a second to realise that the thing that had been clipped onto her finger had come off and put it back. He was straitening up the thin blanket covering her, picking at the lint and such with a dark look on his face when he looked at her face and noticed that her eyes were open and she was looking at him.
"Your awake-" He said stupidly as his heart hammered in his chest.
She stared at him for a second before nodding her head, her violet eyes watching him warily. God her eyes were just like they used to be. So deep and pierceing, it didn't really register with him that her eyes were'nt blue anymore, like they had been before she had lost conciousness. But they were a deep dark violet that in some light look dark blue.
"Are you in pain?-" He asked when his brain kicked back into working order. She lifted her hand and weakly tried to remove the oxygen mask on her face, Kakashi reached out and grasped the mask and gently pulled it from her face and she let her hand fall back to the bed and lay there for a second before asking for water.
Kakashi leaned down to hear her and felt her breath fan the side of his face and shivered. The sexual desire that he had supressed for so long suddenly roaring back to life, causing the blood in his veins turn molten and he swore as he grabbed the cup of ice water off of his little desk and slipped an arm behind her shoulders and lifted her up off of the bed a bit and put the cup to her lips and let her drink while he silently cursed himself for not being able to maintain his control and wishing that Sakura would come in and sit with her while he went home and took a nice long cold, shock inducing shower to take care of the raging hard on behind the zipper of his pants.
About half way through her drink she started to choke and he took the cup away from her lips and set it down as she coughed and wiped at her mouth with her hand. "Feel better now, or do you want more?" She coughed a bit more and shook her head. She didn't want any more water. Kakashi's lips tilted up in a smile and he put her back on the bed and pulled the covers up around her shoulders.
"Where am I?" She asked as soon as she could think of something to ask. She needed to stop staring at the man, before he hurt her again.
Kakashi listened to the soft sound of her voice and sighed as he reached out and took her hand in his, making her look at him with wariness in those wide piercing eyes. Was she scared of him? He wondered and he might have asked if he had'nt decided to play stupid, he didn't really want to know if the love of his life was afraid of him. Because he was sure that the answer would break his heart. So he focused on her question and started speaking.
"Your in the village hidden in the leaves, I'm the Hokage, the leader of this village."
"Why am I here?"
"You were born in this village, your one of it's people-"
"Did I do something bad?" She asked in a distraught tone that tugged at his heart strings and made him look at her.
"What? No, no, no, no, you didn't do anything bad or wrong." He said gently as he reached out and brushed her soft hair back from her face.
"W-Why was I b-b-buried-" She asked in a shaky tone and noticed that the strange man got a pained look on his face as he stared at her. He looked like he wanted to cry or something as he hung his head for a second and took several deep breathes before looking at her again and giving her an apoligetic look.
"I'm so sorry. I can't begin to tell you how sorry I am that you were trapped like that. We didn't know that you were alive-"
"Y-You thought I was dead? Why? I'm right here. I have a heart beat. I'm breathing, are'nt I-" She sounded horrifed and she had an almost panicked look on her face as she said those words and he felt his heart ache in his chest.
He reached out and framed her pale face in his hands and leaned over her. "Stop. Please stop looking so scared. We made a mistake, we thought that you were gone when you were'nt. We are sorry for causing you such pain, and fear. So please...don't look so scared anymore. It breaks my heart to see you looking like this." He said gently as he brushed his lips across hers in a feather light kiss before letting her go and moving away from her to stand across the room and look out the window.
She lay there trying to think of what to ask next, she had had a question right? But for the life of her all she could think about was the soft, feather light kiss that the strange man had just given her. Just what was she to him anyways?
