Your eyes already saw someone approaching even though they were still 5 blocks away. You focused your attention on that person. His chakra seemed so oddly familiar. It made you feel as if something grand was hidden behind a thick door in your mind, every time you try to open it you missed the keyhole.

"You called?" a silver haired male appeared on the same spot Izumo had disappeared. A mask covered his lower face while his headband, with the leaf village symbol, covered his right eye. The hokage gave a smile and motioned to you, making your muscles tense up a tad more. His lazy looking eye moved over to you, only to widen in shock. His eye darted between the hokage and you three times before he coughed and focused on the hokage. "I didn't know you had a guest, I could... wait outside" he said, oblivious to the reason he had been summoned. The hokage chuckled and shook his head. "No Kakashi, I summoned you exactly because of her" he said turning back to you, "(y/n) this is Hatake Kakashi. He will be taking care of you until your memories return" he looked over to Kakashi, "if you don't mind that is".

"Not at all" he said, his voice sounded familiar and nervous. It made something inside of you lighten the weight in your stomach that had been bugging you since you entered the office. Standing up abruptly you held out a hand and a smile, "I-I'll be in your care". A curse left under your breath. Why did you even need to stutter? Your eyes glanced up, seeing his still shocked expression had you calming a bit. At least you weren't the only one feeling all over the place. "Do you mind staying at his house (y/n)?" The old man's voice interrupted your train of thought and made you realize you still held his hand. Pulling it back quickly you turned to the hokage and smiled, "no problem". The hokage nodded and turned towards Kakashi, "then you both are dismissed" he smiled. Kakashi nodded and turned heel to stroll out of the door. You were about to follow but stopped and looked back at the old man. "Sorry, but I didn't catch your name" you said uncomfortable, better late than never though. "Hiruzen Sarutobi" he smiled. "Nice to meet ya... again" you grinned before turning tail and running after Kakashi who had already gained a head start.

"Soooo... do you know me?" you questioned curiously as you walked next to the masked man on the street. He glanced down on you, his hands in his pockets as he took long strides towards his house. "Do you know me?" he questioned back, his eyes revealing nothing but lazy curiosity. "No. I did know your name though. That was the only thing I knew when I woke up. Next to my own name that is" you said thoughtfully tapping your chin. "Now, I asked first" you said glancing up at him. He turned the road in front of him and nodded. A smile crept on your lips, "what kind of relation did we have? I mean, you must be special if I only know your name" you wondered. "We were close" was all he said.

"How close?" you turned fully to him while walking backwards with ease. Your eyes enabling you to see in a 5 km radius.

Kakashi turned his lazy eye to your curious expression, but just skipped the question and kept on walking. After walking for five minutes in silence you returned to his side. "Boyfriend and girlfriend?" you mused. The silver haired male coughed, surprise clear on his face as he turned to you. If the mask wasn't there you probably could see a slight change in colour, probably. "What makes you think that?" he coughed, regaining his cool bored statue. You rolled your eyes and prodded his side. "Cause you don't answer, if we were friends it wouldn't be awkward to say so".

"Sorry to disappoint you, but we weren't" he sighed. You arched a brow, wondering if that sigh was from disappointment or tiredness of your antics.

Probably both.

"Here we are" he announced standing before a small house a bit further from the rest of the houses. You hummed stepping into the yard. "It looks nice.... Where did I live?" "In town. You had a small apartment". "This looks better" you nodded to yourself. Kakashi, slightly uncomfortable with that sentence, moved in front of you and opened the door with the key.

You walked into the dull hall and put off your shoes. There was a small dresser at the side of the coatrack. Further there were 2 doors and stairs leading up. "Left is the kitchen, right is the living room" Kakashi explained as he put off his shoes. Your head whipped around, making Kakashi frown in question. "Can I explore?" you asked with sparkling puppy eyes. After a second of considering if saying no was even an option he gave a curt nod.

With a happy laugh you dashed through the hall and slipped around the corner. The kitchen was small, a high bar like structure separating the cooking utilities from the table with 4 chairs around it. The walls were a creamy white while the tiles were marble. Dashing into the living room you smiled at the sight of the fireplace. It was small, but it was something. A two seat couch stood in front of the fireplace and a grey carpet covered the wooden floor between the couch and the fireplace. A long cabinet stood against the wall behind the couch, some pictures were on them. Your eyes scanned over the pictures, from Kakashi's younger days you saw one picture of his team and his sensei. They all seemed strangely familiar, especially the girl. Then further down was a picture that took your attention immediately. Your hands shivered slightly as you took the frame up for closer inspection. "That dress looked beautiful on you". His low voice snapped you from the picture, and stared straight into his coal eye. "It seems so..." you placed the picture of you in a slim black dress and Kakashi in a suit down. "Would you like some tea?" he questioned with a gentlemanly smile forming under his mask. A broad smile appeared as you nodded, "I haven't had anything decent in weeks!" you exclaimed and followed after him into the kitchen. "Is that so?" Kakashi mused. "Yeah, it took me three months to actually realize what my headband meant and find the leaf village" you sighed defeated, "had to live in the wild since I have no money on me". "You always were a resourceful kunoichi" Kakashi chuckled and turned to you, his back to the kettle on the fire. "For example?" you hummed, leaning against the bar like structure.

"When your rations were gone, you found some weird looking plant and ate it. It ended well 9 out of ten times" he grinned. "And the other one?" "You were hurtling up all your rations" he chuckled.

Kakashi turned around as the kettle whistled and with fluent movements he poured the tea in a traditional metal kettle. He put the tea leaves inside and turned back to you. His eyes looking you up and down, staring. "What?" you crossed your arms, looking straight back. "Nothing" he shrugged and turned back to the tea and poured it into two cups.

A frown creased your eyebrows. You came from the dead and he was supposedly really close before you died. He could at least give a hug, or something.

As Kakashi poured you walked soundless over to him. Your hands placed on each side of his body, against the kitchen table. For a small second you could feel his muscles tense. "The tea is done" he said, confusing your assertiveness with impatience for the tea.

"Did you miss me?"

He paused. You slowly leaned back, giving him space to turn around, which he didn't.

Just as you thought he wouldn't answer, he spoke.

"Yes".

Your head snapped up and looked at his broad shoulders. A wave of relieve washed over you as you stepped back and leaned against the wall. "I'm glad... somehow. I feel bad I made you feel that way though" you murmured staring at your feet. A gasp left your lips as an elbow was slammed against the wall next to your head. You glanced from the arm slowly up to meet his abyss like eye. His other hand was placed on the other side of your head, leaving no room of escape as his shadow loomed over you.

"Kakashi?" you questioned hesitantly. "(y/n). I thought you died. I thought you left my life even before we had a shot at anything together" he whispered in a croaky voice. You tried swallowing a lump that was forming in your throat but it had no effect. "I'm sorry" you whispered wholeheartedly. His eye softened as he leaned closer to you. If it was any other this would be a seriously uncomfortable situation. However, with Kakashi it seemed alright. As Kakashi drew closer his eye seemed to suck you in. A never ending abyss that held the comfort of knowing you were alive and well in his arms. "Uh.. the tea is getting cold?" you said flustered.

Kakashi's head hung as he let out a sigh. He pushed himself reluctantly from the wall and went over to the cups of tea, handing you one. You smiled and took it before trotting off to the living room. The two seat was velvet and soft, as if you would sit down on a sheep. Kakashi took a seat next to you and glanced over while you sipped the tea.

Your eyes sparkled as they darted to the silver haired male. "This is Sencha right! You remember! I love this" you chided and took another small sip. Kakashi chuckled and looked down at his tea. "Curious you remember" he mused. You paused mid sip and stared at him. "You are right..." a smile crept on your lips, "meeting you is already jugging my memories" you chimed. He gave a low chuckle, a sound that made something inside of you stir in delight.
