so I had an idea about splitting this up in four stories
This one, one with straight Kakashi and Kagome and one with Zabuza and Kagome
and finally a conclusion story? Or fit it all in this one? What do you guys think?
Chapter 28: Cry
"...and when we started on the way back to the village there was a light that came from the sky. We investigated once the light vanished and that's when we found her, she had almost no breath, no chakra...on the verge of dying on the forest floor. I used the healing jutsu to save her and we all agreed to bring her here." Sakura finished up the report, all three looking nervous as the Hokage sat there with fingers interlocked looking at them. He proceeded their report to that of Kakashi's and wondered what on earth was going on. "Very well, you three are dismissed go and enjoy your rest." With his permission they left the tower and split to their own homes. No sooner had they left Kakashi appeared before him with information the girl was awake. The old man huffed but stood none the less and made his way with the copy nin to the hospital.
Arriving at her room they entered with a small knock, the sight they saw was not what they had expected. Genma was sitting on the bed staring intently at Kagome, their legs folded in a traditional criss cross fashion. Blue stared into brown neither one of them blinking. "Genma" the Hokage spoke stepping further into the room. It caused the male to break eye contact and look at his leader and one of his friends.
"I win" Kagome cheered from behind him before peeking over his shoulder and looking at the two males. A cheery smile was offered to both of them. "Hello" Kagome greeted the older male, he reminded her of her own grandfather with the wise eyes and a gentle smile. There was no doubt this great man was a grandfather himself. "Hello there." he replied while walking up to her side. They began a conversation of how and what she was, Kagome spoke of her powers and how they differed from the chakra they used even if they were very similar. The talk stretched out to the safety of the village and her temporary residence inside of it. He seemed like a fair man, granting her the kindness of a place to stay as well as a job at the hospital with her unique abilities to heal their men and women. At least till they found a way to send her back as well. Kagome agreed with ease, detecting no hidden agenda with the male. It seemed a bit odd to offer that much assistance to some stranger but Kagome was happy none the less. Bidding Genma and the Hokage a farewell her body sagged against the bed once more. "I'm surprised he welcomed you into the village so quickly." Kakashi spoke before taking a seat upon the bed, shifting back just enough to look at her. "He wouldn't be the leader if he was a fool." Came her smooth reply as she looked at the male, he shifted slightly allowing her to gaze at the beads hidden under his jacket it warmed her heart for an unknown reason that he had kept the beads on. Perhaps he had simply forgotten about them, that seemed like a better option.
"Get some rest Kagome I will return tomorrow and escort you around the city and show you the apartment the Hokage gave you." He spoke once more before standing and walking out the door. His life seeming a bit easier, heart a bit warmer than it was before.
Once the room fell silent and she was certain Kakashi was long gone the first set to tears came down her cheeks. The shattering of her heart sounded loudly in her ears. Shifting to clutch the pillow her head buried itself into it as the crying became more profound. Shoulders shaking as a sob tore it's way out and into the pillow. She didn't get to say goodbye.
