Comfort,
Chapter 1
______________________________
�His
heart�s stopped again!� A medic shouted as Tsunade furiously tried to stitch up
Kakashi�s stomach, chakra winding in and out of torn flesh like snakes.
�Shit!
Just cut his damn clothes off!� A kunai switched from one medics hand to
another as Tsunade shifted positions to pump chakra into his bared chest.
�Careful
of his head, it�s still bleeding.� Another warned.
The
flurry of hands and combinations of seals caused Sakura even more dizziness as
blood flowed from a wound in her side. Tsunade turned to see that she had
followed them into the room, clutching a small black pack in her arms.
�He�s
stopped breathing now��
�KAKASHI-SENSEI!�
______________________________
A
throbbing pain was slowly keeping time in Kakashi�s skull and only caused him
to wonder for a moment. Muscles tightening in trepidation as he quickly tried
to gage his surroundings without opening his eyes.
The soft sounds of feet walking to his left passed quickly,
quiet laughter coming then going along with other sounds all told him where he
was. He
relaxed a little as he realized his location, safe, in pain yes, but safe in a
hospital.
A
sigh and a slight movement against his right side caused his right eye to shoot
open. Instantly he felt off center and wondered if he�d connected the
information correctly in his head. Sakura was pressed against his side and
seemed to be asleep. Standard hospital shirt clutched in one small hand and
head cradled by his shoulder.
A
quick look around the room and out the window confirmed that he was in Konoha�s hospital. Ultimately his eye dropped down upon her
pink hair, which consisted mostly of what he could see from the angle.
Was
she hurt? If she was, why wasn�t she in another bed? Even trying to understand
was making him incredibly tired. His eyes seemed to close on their own accord
as the heat from her tiny form permeated his sore flesh.
Again
her body shifted against his, a small sound not unlike a whimper coming from
her throat. His hand came up to grip her arm reflexively in a motion of
comfort. Pressing her face to him she settled back into easy breathing.
With
great effort Kakashi was able to open his eye for a moment, making sure she
wasn�t waking before falling back into darkness.
______________________________
The
door of Kakashi�s hospital room opened quietly, but it was like an alarm for
Sakura. Sitting up quickly she hissed in pain as her side stretched, pulling
the shallow wound across her flesh.
Her
abrupt departure from his side woke Kakashi harshly. Sakura�s entire body was
rigid and her eyes were wide with concentration. The sound of someone entering
his room wouldn�t have caused him such fear but Sakura looked almost ready to
bolt.
The
curtain pulled across the room to section off his bed was pulled back and Shizune looked at Sakura only in passing when she noticed
Kakashi was awake. Shizune�s attention brought
Sakura�s to him as well.
�Kakashi-sensei! You�re awake.� Her body relaxed, calming her
initial fear as danger appeared to be absent.
�You�ve
slept long enough Kakashi-san. Think you can stay awake for a few more moments
while I run and get Tsunade-hime?� Shizune came closer to the bed, ignoring Sakura for the
most part.
His
head gave an almost imperceptible nod of affirmation before Shizune
disappeared. Almost immediately his eye started to droop again.
�You
said you�d stay awake. Are you feeling okay?� Sakura scooted a little closer to
his chest causing his arm to move to accommodate.
�How
long�?� He remembered waking up once and seeing her but couldn�t put the memory
in any place in time.
Sakura
gave him a small smile, adjusting her hitai-ate around her neck. She was
dressed plainly, black cotton drawstring capris and a
black t-shirt. She rubbed at her side unconsciously as the sting turned to an angry
throb.
�Only
about two days�� Her worried expression vanished in the light of complete
relief that washed through her mind. �But your awake now.�
He
considered her for a moment, glad that she seemed fine and but still unsure why
she had been sleeping next to him. Unable to find words to ask for an
explanation he decided to ignore it for the time being.
�Are
you alright?� He asked.
�I
am now.� Not sure what to make of that either he was relieved from wondering
when Tsunade walked into the room with Shizune in
tow.
Tsunade�s quick glare, shot back at her by Sakura before the young girl
dropped her gaze was not lost on him. Shizune looked
a little uncomfortable but she bravely gave Kakashi an encouraging smile.
�You
look like your ready to pass out again.� Tsunade said stiffly, taking in his
slowly blinking eye and unfocused attention.
�Tsunade-sama.� He gave the usual response, neither question nor
true comment.
�I
only need to know one thing and then you can go back to sleep.� When he only
continued to watch her she pushed forward. �Did you see anything else that you
weren�t able to grab?�
�No, only that one document. I would have tried to take
anything else if it seemed related.�
�Good
man.� She said to him before turning her gaze on Sakura. �You, out in the hall,
right now.�
Shizune left the room quickly as Sakura slid from the bed and exited
the room with her head bowed, hair hiding her face. Kakashi opened his mouth
but Tsunade had left the room and closed the door.
Their
muffled conversation reached his ears but he couldn�t make out anything other
than their tone. Sakura started off defensive and proceeded to sink into a
sound of almost sobbing. Tsunade on the other hand went from angry to
indifferent back to a more defeated anger before the door opened and Sakura
shot back in.
�Kakashi
get some rest.� Tsunade ordered as the door opened and shut tightly.
Sakura
came around the bed and had the sheet lifted while Kakashi was still looking at
the door. Soon her body was pressed into his side and her arm draped across his
chest as she sought comfort.
�I�m
staying with you.�� She sniffed into his shirt. His mind was too tired to care
at the moment about anything other than wanting to go back to sleep. So she
felt his hand come to rest against her head.
�Ah��
He agreed, even as her returned warmth cradled him back into sleep. Sakura
smiled as his breathing became slow and languid. She didn�t care what Tsunade
thought, she wasn�t leaving his side.
______________________________
Kakashi
woke for the third time the following morning. Sakura was already awake,
holding a book in one hand and a kunai in the other. A page turned as she
continued to rest against his chest, trying to move as minimally as was
possible.
�Sakura.�
She
turned her head quickly and sat up as she noticed he was awake.
�Its
only been a day since you last woke. But you must be hungry. I�ll get
something!� Her enthusiasm had her out from under the sheets and off the bed.
Book left carelessly in a chair, kunai still held in her fist as she made her
way out the door.
Coming
back she found Kakashi still awake and half propped up in bed. His skin looked
a little sallow and bruises seemed to have formed under his eyes. She snatched
a wheeled table on her way in and pushed her pile of food to swing over the bed
and his lap.
Resuming
her position on the bed, now separated from him by the table, she picked up a
pair of utensils and dug into a huge bowl of rice. Kakashi watched her for a
moment, relieved that all the food wasn�t meant solely for him.
Sakura
mistook his watchful gaze and she blushed slightly.
�I
saw your face Sensei�but if you want me to leave I can.� Pink locks fell over
her face, as she fiddled with a piece of apple she had been about to eat.
Kakashi touched his face to find that his mask was in place.
�Tsunade-sama
usually tears my mask off when I�m in the hospital.� He said thoughtfully. The
medics in general had a habit of stripping people but he never understood why
the mask would have to go.
�Oh,
well�she did, but I went and got one for you.� Instead of dampening her
embarrassment the admission made her face flame. �I broke in through you�re
window and got some stuff for you too. Sorry��
�What
other�stuff?� Kakashi was admittedly intrigued. He hoped �breaking in� didn�t
actually mean anything was seriously damaged.
�Oh
you know, clothes and stuff since you hate the
hospital so much.� His reaction was immediate. Sakura watched him sit up
straighter and look around the room. �But you can�t leave yet! You should eat
something and uh, rest and wait for Tsunade-sama to tell you its okay to
leave!�
�You
have some of my clothes, here, now?� Kakashi wondered if he�d be able to stand
long enough to get his clothes on and make it back to his apartment.
�Don�t!
If Tsunade-sama finds out�� Her eyes started to well with tears. �If you get
hurt I�ll��
Kakashi
winced a little, women crying didn�t normally bother
him quiet so much but Sakura was his student. He hated to see her cry about
something so trivial when she had other things that were much more serious to
cry about but never did.
�I
won�t leave today.� He sighed and pulled down his mask reaching out for what
seemed to be soup. Sakura wiped the back of her hand across her eyes and cheeks
before eating more food than Kakashi could imagine being able to fit in her.
�Good.
Just tell me when you think you can leave and I�ll bring out your gear so you
can change.� He nodded and they ate in silence.
Sakura
watched him eat with something bordering on awe. Having never seen him without
his mask it was strange seeing his mouth work, even if he was just eating.
�What?�
He knew exactly what, but she�d stopped with a piece of meat and some noodles
half way in her mouth when he started drinking some water.
�Nu-nothing!� Sakura devoured her entire
plate of noodles, pork and vegetables to distract herself.
He
couldn�t help but smile just a little as he watched her finish off what
probably amounted to three full meals. Setting down his glass of water and
seeing that they were both finished Sakura pushed the table out into the hall
before scooting back under the covers to lean against his chest.
With
book and kunai back safely in hand she settled down to read her book on medical
jutsu. Kakashi�s eyes started to close again, it was foolish of him to think he would have been
able to escape so soon. But Sakura had thrown in with him and seemed ready to
help when he wanted to go. Still it didn�t explain why she seemed to think it
was necessary to stay here, and sleep next to him.
�Sakura�why do you have a kunai?� Not what he meant to ask
but it was one of the things on the list at least.
�Oh, to protect you of course, Kakashi-sensei.� Aha�he thought. It didn�t
exactly make sense.
�From what?� He shifted his arm uncomfortably. With her leaning
against him on her back he wasn�t sure where to place his arm and hand.
�Tsunade
didn�t tell you? I thought she would have come and talked to you when I�ve left
a few times.�
�You�ve
been here every time I�ve been awake.� Sakura made a little �o� with her mouth
before turning back to her book, seemingly reading.
�You
haven�t answered my question.� Was she ignoring him? He couldn�t be sure.
��Yes
I did.� Now she was evading him and it was getting annoying.
�You
know what I mean Sakura.� He sounded disapproving and it made her squirm a
little. �What is going on?� He waited a few more moments, watching her twirl
the kunai nervously in one hand. �Look at me when I ask you a question.� He
twisted her head around gently, using the back of her neck.
Sakura
didn�t like the situation much. She couldn�t figure out why Tsunade would have
kept information from him when it was so important. Kakashi was angry with her
it seemed and it made her feel uncomfortable and sad.
�Whatever you took. The thing that wasn�t part of the
mission right? Well more of them came after us even after we made it
back to the village. Tsunade has nin and ANBU
watching the walls since a few came in looking for�us.�
Kakashi
mulled this over, hand still on the back of her neck. He�d only see the inside
of some of the papers he�d taken for a moment. Never having a chance to look
them over before he was forced to hand them off to Sakura and make her run.
Still,
Tsunade should have told him it endangered the village as well as Sakura and
himself. Knowing more of the enemy had come after them and tried to come into
the village presumably for revenge rather than thinking of taking back the
stolen information. Sakura made a small noise in the back of her throat as
Kakashi�s fingers unconsciously dug into her skin.
�Is
that it?� He loosened his grip quickly and Sakura�s wincing eyes relaxed.
�Yes.
As far as I know�Tsunade won�t really talk to me about what�s going on. She
thinks I should let some ANBU I don�t even know chaperone my every move.� He
saw the familiar flash of anger through her eyes.
�That
wouldn�t be a bad idea, you would be safe. Why not just let them? You could go
home and-�
�No!
I feel safe with you Kakashi-sensei, you made them�go
away last time.� Sakura quickly rephrased her sentence.
Kakashi
had protected her on the mission, although he had taken out more than ten men
in the process of letting Sakura escape. Sakura had never seen so much violence
caused by one person in her life but instead of frightening her it made her
feel extremely safe. Even as the hand she had watched him use to shove a kunai
through someone�s eye lay on her neck.
�I�m
not in any real shape to protect you at the moment. Besides, if we�re both
together you�re just giving them an opportunity to get you as well.�
�But
I�m protecting you too!� She said earnestly. �I don�t want to sit at my
apartment alone�� She knew she should sound a little more grown-up, more like
the kunoichi she should be, but it was hard when she
was scared.
Kakashi
sighed as she sat up and tried to make a case for herself. Unthinkingly he
moved his hand to pet her on the head as he thought. He quickly stopped because
he was afraid of the expected outburst. Sakura hated to be pat on the head,
saying that she wasn�t one of his ninken.
But
Sakura was smiling and she grabbed his lifted hand and placed it back on the
top of her head. Her change in emotion was dizzying in its shift and made
Kakashi feel that much more exhausted.
�Fine.� He�d give-up for now to recuperate and try to get more
information later.
Kakashi
pushed his pillows around wearily before laying back down his arm crooked
around Sakura�s sitting form. He waited but she continued to nervously twirl
her kunai from one small hand to the other swiftly but surely.
�Are
you going to go back to sleep?� He asked finally, his head was starting to hurt
again and the bandages around it made it a little uncomfortable to turn his
head.
Sakura
practically radiated relief and happiness as she wriggled beneath the sheet
until she was next to him. It would have been easier to tell her to get lost if
she wasn�t like some wonderful furnace. But regretfully she relaxed him into
sleep quickly, despite the cold hospital room and hard mattress.
Sakura
watched him drift away from her and only waited long enough to make sure he was
really asleep before carefully moving his hand to her waist. When he didn�t
wake she settled her face against his chest and followed him into sleep.
______________________________
Why?
Well, probably stemming from my own needs of wanting comfort. But I wanna see if people like my style of �fluffiness�.
Kakashi
keeps thinking its �wrong� not because he�s physically attracted to Sakura but
because well�it is extremely inappropriate. So don�t get all excited 12-14 year
old girls out there.
