Shade
The sun was out, casting shadows behind trees and creating cold shade to sit under and relax in. The field was empty - except for a little girl of 10 years, sitting in the shade of a Sakura tree. Oddly enough, the girl resembled the tree a lot.
Her hair was as pink as it's blossoms and her eyes as green as the lush grass surrounding it.
She smiles as the wind blew through her hair, soothing all the worries she might have. In the distance, A tall figure could be seen. She squinted, trying to get a good look at him.
He had a lean figure, a mop of silver, gravity defying hair, and covering his face was... A mask?
She was really confused.
"Why is he wearing a mask!?"
'I'm not sure Hun.'
She got up from her spot, and started towards the odd man. He was leaning against a tree, covered in shade, panting slightly.
"Sir...?" His eyes open. The pinkette fidgeted.
"A-are you... Okay?"
"I just returned from a mission, but yes, I'm okay." He smiles underneath his mask. Her eyes widen, and her mouth forms into an 'O'. She stares at him in awe.
"You're a Ninja!" He nods.
"That's... Cool."
'Awkward'
It's silent. A breeze blows by, flowing through the pinkette's hair. The man takes a good look at the child.
Her hair flowing around her heart-shaped face, like a halo of pink. Her emerald-green eyes, shining in the sun, making them appear even lighter than they already were. Her cheeks, flushed from the heat.
The silver-haired man thought she was beautiful for her age.
"How old are you, girl?"
Taken aback from his sudden question, she hesitates.
"Ten." He nods to himself and looks away. The pinkette hesitates before sitting down where she stood. She looks him over again.
Silver hair, mismatching eyes, coal and blood, and a mask.
'He only looks like he could be anywhere from 16 to 18.'
'Why don't you ask?'
'You're right!'
"How old are you, sir?" Without looking at her, he answers,
"Twenty-four." She chokes on nothing.
'T-twenty-four?! What? he looks so young!'
'Oh, hot damn!'
He raises an eyebrow at her reaction. The girl blushes. The man sits down in the shade.
The sun only gets hotter and hotter, as she sits on the grass. Not wanting to make it even more awkward, she stays where she is.
'I can do this.'
She starts to become dizzy, and apparently it's showing on her face.
"Come sit in the shade, or, you'll over heat." She nods and moves to the shade, right beside him.
"What's your name...?" She asks.
"... Kakashi. Yours?"
"I'm Sakura."
"Well then, Sakura, what did you come over here for? I'm sure it wasn't for the shade." Sakura looks down at the grass. Playing with it, she says,
"I saw you from a distance. I was wondering why you had a mask on, especially in this weather!" Kakashi looks at her.
"Well..." He contemplates on telling her the truth or not. He decides to tell her the truth.
"I used to get mixed up with my dad a lot, so I started wearing this." He points to the black cloth covering his face. She nods slowly in understanding. Relaxing against the tree trunk she closes her eyes and sighs.
"It was nice meeting you Kakashi-san."
He smiles.
"You too, Sakura-san."
I thought it was cute.
