Disclaimer: I own Naruto. I mean don't. Ugh. I hate tricking myself T^T

Hey all(: I hope you enjoyed my really depressing last 2 chapters and are ready to read this next chapter! Horray, hurrah, woot….anywho, Please review If not i don't know if i'll keep writing the chapters, review review! please :D

"Thanks again," softly spoke the silvered haired Genin to the nurse who had been taking care of him for the few days he was unable to move, due to the shock. She really had been helping him recover from the scarring scene. Not only was he able to accept the fact he was gone, she had managed him to actually not cry himself to sleep the last few nights.

"It is no problem honey." She smiled sincerely at the 5 year old. "But before you leave," In her hand, she held a piece of paper, "Take this. It's my address just in case you need any help." He took it in his hand and looked at the paper for a few moments. A small grin stayed on her face as he saw him accept it and place it in his pocket.

"Thank you." He closed his eyes and bowed to her, "I really appreciate it. But er…" Pausing, he looked at her with confusion. "I never did get your name Miss."

"The names Taki, just come down to my house if you need anything. It won't be a bother. My off shifts are usually at around 5 or 6. I live alone so I like the company," The grin on her face never ceased as she then shifted her feet. "Do take care Kakashi-kun." Waving, she saw the look on Kakashi's face. Even though there was no smile, she could tell he really felt a little better.

"…Thank you...Taki-chan." He whispered under his breath as he turned from the hospital. Taki was definitely a very caring person, without her, he'd probably still be in the hospital or in an insane asylum. However, focusing was his top priority; he would be taking the Chunnin entrance exams very soon. Becoming stronger was more important than anything; he would need to study every rule for a shinobi and would abide by them. If not, he would end up like his father. His fists clenched at the thought of his own father, the man who slayed himself because of his own weakness. 'I'll become a better ninja then you ever were, become a Jounin by the time most come out of the academy. I'll do it. Watch father. I'll make sure your failures won't pull me down.' Kakashi stared coldly at the ground as he thought.

...

"Hatake." Came a voice from behind the boy, manipulating the 5 year old to stop in his tracks. He turned his cheek to the side and saw a flash of yellow that soon enough was right in front of him. Eyes widened, he jumped back and put his hands up in a defensive position. "Relax, relax." The Yellow Flash of the Leaf said to Kakashi as he gave him the biggest grin ever.

Kakashi glared at him lightly as he let his hands fall to his sides. "Minato-sama. Is there something you need?" He asked very leisurely, which in return got a frown from the Jounin staring at him. He'd known the Yellow Flash of the leaf ever since he was a baby because his father and him were very good friends.

"How you been?"

"Fine."

"Heh, you want to catch up on stuff and go get some ramen?"

"No."

With a sigh he put his hands on his hips. "Don't act like that. You know why I'm here."

"I'm not sure what you're meaning by that." He spat out.

Concerned, he looked at his friend's son and turned his body to the side like he was showing a path they could take. "Kiddo, come on, let's go for a walk." After no answer, he turned back and put a hand on his shoulder.

"I'd rather not," With a shift of his feet, his sensei's hand fell off his shoulder. However, the deep blue eyes that inherited the face of the Jounin didn't stop glaring sternly at him. Moments passed but nothing came out of either of them but silence.

"Were going for a walk." The words were final and he walked off past Kakashi. Huffing childishly, Kakashi trudged behind him with his head down. Catching up with him would be no problem, what gnawed at his stomach was the thought of what his Sensei was going to lecture him about. Even if he kept blowing off what his Sensei would say to him, he'd keep bothering him until he made a change.

...

"Minato Senseeeei." Kakashi whined as he followed his sensei up the path. He seemed a bit more open due to the command his superior gave him back there. But, there was no answer as he watched the back of his yellow hair.

"I don't need any more lectures."

Silence

"Why do we have to have a conversation about my life again...?"

The frustrated Genin refused to be ignored any longer.

"You don't need to baby me. My father's dead and I can take care of myself!"

That wasn't the response he had expected. He had to jump out of the way before he slammed into his sensei for stopping at such a statement. Looking at his Sensei, he could see the sorrow in his eyes.

"Kakashi… your father was a great man," The elder man spoke to Kakashi, his eyes averted to his feet. "So I hope you know that you should be proud of him."

Kakashi's eyes went cold as he stared at his Sensei, hatred radiating from his frown. "I would never be proud of him. He should have let those people die."

"You don't mean that."

"I mean every word of it. My father is and was a disgrace to the Hatake name!"

Minato looked at Kakashi with utter disbelief. He had always known Kakashi to worship his father, to love him with all his heart. But he could see the seriousness in Kakashi's words. "Will you at least go to his funeral?"

"No."

They stayed silent for a few minutes as they stood there. The regularly beaming Jounin stood there with a saddened stare as he shifted to the left. "Well I'm going. He deserves to rest in peace."

"Tsk." Answered Kakashi as he turned away, giving him the cold shoulder.

"Your father was a great man. Stop being an arrogant child who only sees it from his point of view. He saved his comrades who he cared deeply for. I wouldn't leave you behind on a mission if you were dying. Now either face the truth or live in solitude and hate forever." Sternly, he turned away from the boy who seemed to be trembling. "He loved you very much Kakashi, never forget that. He never meant to hurt you."

The now teary Genin looked at his Sensei with lost eyes. "I-I'm sorry."

"Don't be. Now get home. And remember, you'll be meeting your Genin squad tomorrow with me as your Sensei."

"Hai…Sensei." Kakashi wiped his nose and quickly turned down the dirt path. 'Dad, thanks for everything but I need to live the way I want to. Your mistakes will forever taint me but I'll make up for them.' He spoke quietly in his mind as he made his way back to his home. The same home where he would have to go to sleep and wake up without another person's presence.

'Eh, I'll get used to it.' He lied to himself.
