Chap.1
11:40am Friday,
He finished cleaning his classroom and sat on his desk. The weather was perfect for a walk in the woods, but today was special and he promised to pass it with his friends.
"Still here, Iruka-sensei?" he jumped from his chair and looked at the door.
"Ah, Tsunade-sensei, you starlet me." he rubbed the scar across his nose "I was just killing some time."
The blond woman walked towards the widow and looked outside. "I saw Mizuki looking for you, I think you should go find him."
Iruka grinned. "Yeah, I'm going now." he stood up and took his books from the table. "er…you're not coming? I would like to see you there. After all, it's my last day here."
"I know Iruka, but I already have plans for today, plus only young people will be there, you know what I mean," She took his hand and placed a little box in it. "Here, you're mother asked me to give you this when you get 20. Happy birthday, Iruka"
Iruka looked at her and then at the box on his hand. He put the books back on the table and opened the little box. Inside was a silver necklace with a small pendant. A dolphin. A small silver dolphin. "It's beautiful. Thank you" he whispered and then looked at her smiling. "You know, I never met her, but I miss her so much."
"She would be very proud of you...Can I?." She took the necklace and placed it around his neck.
Iruka turned around and gave her an tight hug "Thanks a lot Tsunade-sensei, I'll miss you so much"
"Me too..Me too"
They stayed like that for some minutes crying and listening to each other heart-beats.
She pulled away and tried to dry her tears. "Now, now. No more crying, I want to see you happy today, because tomorrow you're going to face your destiny, and you need to face it with a smile on your beautiful face. Now go find Mizuki before he starts shouting your name here"
He grinned and left the classroom.
Ah, Rei, Sensei... I think I'm getting too old for this. She sighed.
It's been already 29 years since Tsunade left Tokyo and came to this village, Konoha, to live with her Sensei, Hiruzen . She was 15 when both of her parents died in a car accident and with no family to take care of her, she was forced to live with her old school teacher, who was living in a village that no one knew it existed.
Sarutobi volunteered to rebuild the school and teach the children of that village.
In the beginning was difficult to Tsunade to live in such a place, so far away from 'civilisation'. But it was a small village, with good people who helped her to adapt. One of this people was Umino Rei.
Rei was fun to talk with, and really beautiful. Tsunade used to pass all day with her, talking and laughing. And with time, they became best friends.
When Tsunade was 21, she started helping at the hospital too. In the beginning she only helped taking care of the children and then she started to taking care of more serious cases.
Three weeks after Rei's husband died, Rei found out that she was pregnant.
Tsunade and Saturobi helped Rei in everything during the pregnancy.
Rei died when Iruka was born. And Tsunade always blamed herself for not being able to save her friend. She promised to herself that she would take care of the babe.
Umino Iruka.
He looked so much like his mother: tanned skin, big dark-brown eyes and the brow hair that when he was 6 he decided to let it grow.
He was such a beautiful, smart yet strange child. None of the villagers had TV or magazines. They didn't know anything about the world outside of the village. But somehow Iruka knew. He used to draw pictures of buildings and cars. He knew so much about the world and learnt so very fast. Everyone in the village was impressed with the child. He was too smart for a child of his age.
Sarutobi liked to have him around. They both could pass hours and hours talking.
It was after Sarutobi's death, that Iruka decided to be a teacher. He was 18, and still beautiful like his mother with hair now always tied up in a ponytail and with a scar across his nose he got when he fell from a tree. He was 12 when it happened.
Tsunade was so worried when he saw the blood on his face. According to Mizuki, they were climbing the trees when Iruka cried out of pain he was feeling in his chest, he lost his balance and ended up falling. One of the brunches had a sharp end that cut his face.
It wasn't the first time that that happened. Iruka was born with a small dark mark on the left side of his chest that every year, a day before his birthday, it gets darker and gives Iruka a wave of pain.
Tsunade already made millions of tests to see what it was, but she never found anything. It was so strange but she decided to forget about it and just take care of him.
Everything was fine until that morning, before the classes started, he told her that he was going to leave the village.
Why does everyone I love always leave me?. She sighed again and closed the classroom's door.
…oOo…
"Come Kakashi," He took his and dragged him into the house "I want to show you something."
They stopped in front of a big white door.
"Obito, is it okay to come here?"
"Yep. Father is working till night today, and I really wanted to show this." Obito opened the big door with a grin.
They entered inside of a room, a big white and round room, with 6 large widows that allowed the sunlight illuminate the room. In the middle of the room was a piano.
When Kakashi turned around to ask Obito why did he brought him there, he saw Obito smiling sweetly and holding a chocolate cake with 8 candles on it. "Happy Birthday Kashi-kun."
Kakashi grinned. He almost forgot about his birthday. He was 8 now. "Thank you Obi."
They stared at each other smiling. "…er…I think it's time to make a wish and blow the candles." Obito said placing the cake on the floor and sitting in front of it.
"Oh, okay…" Kakashi sat beside him "I wish…"
"Noooo…not like that baka." Obito covered Kakashi's mouth with his hand. "You have to make a wish in your heart, no one must listen, or else it won't come true."
"I know that and don't call me baka, now I'm older than you."
"Whatever, just make the wish already, so I can give you my second gift."
Kakashi smiled at him and then closed his eyes and wished from the bottom of his heart 'I wish Obito and I can be friends forever.' he opened his eyes when he felt something pressed against his lips... Obito was kissing him, for the second time that day (actually the first time, it was Kakashi who kissed Obito) and it felt so good.
"Is that your second gift?" Kakashi said when Obito stopped kissing him and got up from the floor.
"No." He walked towards the piano "this is."
Kakashi got up too and shoot him a confused look. "Are you giving me a piano?"
Obito chuckled. "No baka, I'm going to play for you." He sat in front of the piano and looked at Kakashi who was with his eyes widened.
Obito has been playing piano since he was 4, and in those 3 years, Kakashi never listed him playing.
"Don't be so surprised, come and sit next to me…" Obito blushed and rubbed his nose. Kakashi always thought it was cute when he did that "….er…that's... If you want. " Kakashi chuckled and sat next to Obito.
They stared at each other and Obito blushed furiously. "Okay…I'm...umm… Going to play now" Kakashi nodded.
Obito started playing. It was a beautiful, calming and relaxing melody. And Obito played it with so much passion.
When the melody ended, the dark-haired boy looked at him grinning "So? What do you think? I composed it for you. It's called 'the moon'." He scratched the back of his head. "You know how much I like the moon. It reminds of your silver hair. I think it's beautiful and.."
"Obi-kun, it was the most beautiful gift I ever received. Thank you" Kakashi got closer to Obito and press their lips together.
'i wish I could be like this with him forever' Kakashi thought.
["Kashi-kun, wait for me. I'm coming back…please wait...Wait…"]
Beeb beeb beeb
Kakashi woke up with the annoying alarm clock sound.
"Morning, Kakashi-kun." He turned around and saw a beautiful red-eyed woman beside him. Eh, Kurenai?. How…?..oh fuck.. I think I drunk too much last night and she finally got she wanted. Asuma will kill me.
"Get dressed and go home." He got up, putting his black boxers on he walked towards the bathroom.
The woman followed him. "Why do I still want you? You're so cold with me." She pouted.
Kakashi stopped and rounded on her. "Kurenai, you already have a boyfriend, who happens to be one of my best friends. Don't you feel bad about it?"
She placed her arms around Kakashi's neck. "You know Asuma and I decided to give some time to our relationship, and you know I always had a crush on you and…"
He shoved her arms away from his neck. "I don't care. What happened between us was a mistake that I want to forget. Asuma is a great guy, he really loves you and care about you..." He put his hand on his forehead. "Listen Kurenai, I like you, we are friends and nothing more. I think you should go home now. I have work and I'm already late, so if you excuse me." He closed the bathroom door on her face.
"Stupid Kakashi." She said, collecting her clothes from the floor. "Liar. I know you don't work today, you just want me to go away."
-oO()Oo-
What an annoying woman. Kakashi stared at the mirror. He looked at his pale skin and his messy silver hair and sighed.
What's wrong with me? He opened the shower and stepped in.
["Kashi-kun, wait for me. I'm coming back…please wait...Wait…"]
"It's already been 20 years, Obito, what do you mean you're comming back? And why am I having these dreams again?" he muttered to himself. Taking the shampoo, he started washing his hair.
"Kakashi, I don't have money to go home." Kurenai shouted from the bedroom.
Kakashi sighed again. Today is going to be a long day.
