Food? No, talk?
After two quiet and uneventful days had passed,
_
”Sakura! How was I supposed to know that Sasuke was going to make the guy cry!?”
“Normally... Naruto, I’d say ‘accidentally throwing a Kunai and ‘just missing’ because someone was too annoying would make the normal Civilian upset”
-
“would you kids help me with dinner please?”
”Yes ma'am”
“of course!”
I gave a small nod,
-
yes… after two quiet days,
Kakashi finally woke up,
So of course...
‘Kakashi wants to speak with me..,
I grimaced and sharply put the plate I had been washing back into the sink and wiped my hands off,
The background I heard Naruto make a questioning noise that was muffled by the food in his mouth,
with a sigh didn’t bother to say anything before walking down the hallway,
my sock covered feet made soft sounds as I walked down the hallway,
my eyes blinked in the soft light, a small headache was building in the back of my eyes,
I stopped and stood perfectly still at the doorway to Kakashi’s temporary room,
‘This is stressful..,
“The doors open Sasuke” his voice from the inside of the room called out,
I let out a breath before taking a step in, My eyes darted to the individual seated in an off-white futon,
he was in his normal clothes just without the vest, and his headband and mask were still perfectly on,
” Why don’t you take a seat? After all, we are about to have a long-needed conversation,” his lone eye followed me as I did what he said,
I let my eyes take in his posture,
his shoulders were slouched, his gray hair ruffled from sleep, and he held Paradise make-out’ loosely in one hand,
I slowly walked over before folding my legs underneath as I sat down,
my hands fell to fiddle with each other in my lap, I let my gaze meet my Sensei’s eye,
“Where do I even start…” Kakashi hummed with a flick he closed before sitting the book down beside himself, “Let’s see, first of all, you cursed out your Sensei, on top of not listening to me when I told you to go,”
I winced with a shrug, “…I’m not sorry for that.”
‘Otherwise, you would have died,
”well yes I’m not surprised about that fact Sasuke” Kakashi grunted and pushed himself further up, his face unreadable ,
“next…, and this is important, how do you know Mission Sign? That is not something they teach at the academy.” You and I both know that was left unsaid,
my shoulders hitched up, but I didn’t let my gaze turn away,
”.Itachi” I let a small breath out as the lie left my lips,
’sorry Nii-San..,
As the name left my lips Kakashi froze, his hands tensing in the blanket,
I let my gaze fall to the floor, and continued speaking “Before.., well before that, he had taught me them, along with a few other things.., said that they might be useful..”
A deep feeling had fallen over the room, Kakashi-Sensei seemingly not knowing how to react,
‘Should.. should I bring up…, I let my eyes track across the floor nervously,
”Sensei.., it’s weird to have some... uh, old man approach me alone right?,” my nails dug into my hand,
‘Should I be telling him.., either way, it is weird, and I need to watch the timeline closely.., so his being aware of this probably won’t hurt too bad..,
”..what do you mean, Sasuke what do you mean by that,” Kakashi demanded,
as I looked up, his face was stone and his eye held an almost blank look, along with that was.. ‘panic?
’but… also he seems worried?
”a few days before this mission.., he.. asked me to follow him,” before I could stop it I gave a small snort
“Obviously I wasn’t going to follow someone I don’t know, But well you can’t say no to Lord-Danzo, huh? So well.. he had grabbed me by the arm, and before I could even say anything... I was getting drug off to his office” I took a breath,
Kakashi set still, although… there was a certain.. anger on his face,
”then… he asked, if I could join His Anbu.., now I don’t know about you Sensei.., but I thought that was the Hokage’s, not his.., along that.. the way he asked makes me think I’m not going to be able to say No,” I huffed,
a breath and Kakashi’s eyes fell back on mine,
”let me get this straight…, he kidnapped you, asked you to Join something that he, Should Not.. have control of, and I presume threatened you?” Kakashi’s voice was cold,
I gave a small nod, “when I said I wanted to join the Anbu forces, I didn’t mean the creepy back ally Anbu, Sensei”
the man's eye closed, his hand coming up to rub at his temples,
”so …this happened days ago, and you only told me now.., ma... Sasuke-Kun.. I’m you’re Sensei, Not to mention the Caption of Team Seven, and.. you didn’t tell me about this until days later,” his voice stopped for a moment, hand clinching in the blanket,
”You could have gotten hurt, dare I say you could be Killed..,” he looked back up at me again, his eyes held a strength I haven’t seen since the War,
”why for Shinobi's sake... I might not be the best Sensei, but...I.I’m not letting you die.., or get taken away from this team, at least until your supposed to..” his voice was grounded out between clenched teeth and deep breaths,
I watched as he blinked his eyes closed taking slow and measured breaths,
I let my gaze fall to the floor again, my nails still digging into my hand,
’he didn’t care, ‘so Why?… why does he care now..?,
my hands twitched in my lap, the uncomfortable silence of the room getting to me,
I flinched as a hand came down to ruffle my hair,
“you don’t value your own life,” my head snapped up at that sentence, what?
”listen to me Sasuke, I’d never in my life, pictured myself giving you this advice,” Kakashi took a deep breath his hand falling to his side, “and this might be coming from the fact I’m on low energy and on Pain medication.., but there is a difference to being worried about your team, and being careless with yourself,”
My thoughts spiraled as I listened to my Sensei,
’I don’t understand, I actually don’t understand, I’m not being careless though... I’m Not, why is he saying this? He doesn’t even have room to speak,
I tried to push my thoughts to the back and focus on what he was saying,
“-Ma… Just… just care for yourself a little more..? Alright kid?”
I nodded wordlessly and slowly stood up,
” Are we done here Sensei?” I questioned, my hands crossed over my chest,
Kakashi let a sigh out his shoulders falling, he looked over at me out of the corner of his eye as he picked his book up,
”yeah, ..go eat with Naruto and Sakura..” he flipped his book open and looked away from me,
I huffed and nodded, with measured steps I shut the door leaving myself alone in the hallway,
’what the fuck just happened.., when has he Ever said something like that before.., never… at least not to me..,
”Oi! Sasuke! Get down here your food is getting cold!” Naruto’s voice rung from the bottom of the stairs,
I grimaced and walked down the hall,
”don’t shout, I’m already on my way” I hummed,
”I wasn’t shouting!”
