"Pathetic. . ."
"This is where you'll be staying from now on." He stood at the entrance of the apartment. "Sorry, but my building was full. I'm sure you can manage alone though. I'll pay for everything you need. Though, you'll have to pay is for your own food-" Your eyes were welled with tears. His expression soon dropped. "O-oh, if it the foo-"
"No, it's not that. It's just that. . ." You tried to wipe the tears from your eyes. "Pathetic. . . Having someone else pay for me, care for me like I'm some kind of baby." He patted your head, "It's fine."
Tears spilled from your eyes. "Thank you. . . So very much!" You hugged him, surprising him for a split second. He chuckled lightly, "you're welcome."
"Alright, I'll see you tomorrow." He waved and walked down a hall, turned a corner and was gone.
You shut the door and looked at your new home.
Home, home. . .home. . .
Thank you, Kakashi.
You open the door to the room that was your room. There was a made bed and other things for you. "Wow. . ." Okay, before anything else is said, you were surprised, you've never had this stuff. You looked around some more and as soon as you saw the shower you jumped in. You hadn't had a proper showering in forever.
Later, after you were done, you found clean clothe for you in the closet. You wore a black long sleeve and pants. You looked in the mirror, it was the first time you had seen your face without grime.
You looked weird to yourself.
You grabbed the brush sitting by the mirror and put it to your hair. The only way your hair had been "brushed" before was when you tried to get rid of the tangles, using your fingers. Of course it hurt brushing it but after a while the tangles were not as bad.
After what felt like hours, you were finally done with all the knots in your hair and began to brush it without the difficulty. You sighed, relieved that you were done. You threw the brush down and hopped in bed. It was so comfortable, you fell asleep almost immediately.
The sunlight was bright, forcing you to open your eyes, but it was just so comfortable, you didn't want to get up and it was so cold outside. Instead, you made sluggish moments and fell off, where you lay accepting the pain of your fall. Wait, you thought. Ninja training! Kakashi is waiting for me! You quickly jump to your feet and run. As you ran, you noticed the thin layer of snow on the ground. It snowed overnight.
You ran faster until you reached Kakashi's building. He was barely coming out.
"Am I late?!" You pant out.
"No, not really." He says.
"Great." You inhale, which didn't feel so good thanks to the cold. "Okay. I'm ready." You try giving a thumbs up.
"Mhm. C'mon, follow me." He had his hands in his pockets as he walked. You did the same and followed. He peered back at you and chuckled quietly, seeing you mimicking his moments.
The trees had dead leaves still clinging on, but mostly, the trees were bare.
"First, what do you like, dislike, your dreams for the future? Things along the lines of that. Let's get a acquainted properly." Kakashi was sitting on a tree branch. When did he get up there?!
"O-oh, well. . ." You tried to climb the tree, so you could be next to him.
You've never tried to climb a tree. . .
You were almost there and you would have got there if your foot hadn't slipped. Oh, no. . ., you thought. You moved your legs, trying to find something to slow the fall. "I gotcha." Kakashi caught you hand and pulled you up. You sigh in relief as you sit down next to him. You give him a thankful smile. He returns the smile, his eye showed it. "So tell me about your self."
"Well. . . I like. . ." It was sort of hard to think of something you liked. "I like-" What did you like? Your mind was blank. "I dislike. . .- my dream for the future is to become a ninja, one just like you!" You say.
"Oh. . .! Well, then. . ." He jumped off the branch and landed on his feet. He looked up at you, waiting. You shook your head, you wouldn't land like him. "Don't worry, just jump."
"O-okay. . ." You gulp and push yourself off.
"See?" He put you down and bent down in front of you to reach your height, "I gotcha." He patted your head. "Let's start training."
