-----YOUR POV-----
We walked through the streets looking for some place to eat. We finally found this korean restaurant that serves 'Samgyeopsal'. Its meant to be an 'eat all you can' restaurant. Though there's this time limit, an hour, after that your 'eat all you can' privileges are over. Unfair really but who am i to comment. Going against Choji they'll easily run out of business.
I smiled to my self, lost in my thoughts waiting for our food to cook. I was by the corner across me was Choji, Shikamaru then Asuma sensei. Beside me was Ino Yamato sensei then Kakashi sensei.
"What are you smiling about?" Ino teased again. I looked at her then to Choji. Shikamaru raised a brow at me.
'Fuck, i think he understood that.' i thought to myself
"It's just funny to me." i laughed sweat dropping a little.
"Oh really and what is that?" Asuma sensei asked. Now everyone was curious, no they didn't ask but the stares they gave me was enough to let me know.
"About Kakashi sensei." i said more like a question. His eye widened at the knowledge that he was the topic. they gave him a glance before returning their eyes on me.
"What about me (y/n)?" The masked ninja asked.
"I just remembered how Naruto was locked on removing your mask. To think he even got Sakura and Sasuke into his plan." I said looking at my plate. "Its amusing to me how now, we can just sit beside you eating normally without trying to peep under that mask. Somehow i think he gave up on that." I chuckled to my self.
Kakashi smiled, "Yeah i remember those days." He said.
"Lets be honest. Everyone's still curious." Ino siad shrugging.
'I guess they bought that?'
Asuma sensei nodded. "It's come to the point everyone would imagine something ridiculous. Its amusing really." He admitted.
"If we teamed up back then we could have forced you to take off your mask." Shikamaru said looking at Kakashi sensei, his chin on his hand.
"True! With Shikamaru leading us we would get it in no time!" Choji said taking another bite.
"Wait. You worked with Kakashi sensei back then right, Yamato sensei?" Ino asked curiously looking at the said sensei.
"Yeah." He confirmed.
"Have you seen what behind that mask of his?" She asked again.
He smiled apologetically "Sorry but no. He's always wearing it 24/7."
"Awe." Ino sighed.
"Has there been anyone who has seen your face?" Asuma sensei asked
"Well." Kakashi sensei crossed his arms and looked down losing his eyes, thinking. "There are a few others but most of them are dead."
'He better not expose me.' it was an accident.. he was the one who sat up in the hospital. So it wasn't my fault that the sheet that was covering his face fell off.
"Im sure those people who worked in the ramen shop had a glimpse too. Or the nurses who took care of me when i was at the hospital." He said.
'Im safe?'
"Oh bummer! Litererally no one!" Choji said.
"I guess that's that" Ino sighed. Asuma sensei just chuckled at their response.
"That includes (y/n)." Kakashi pointed at me smiling closed eye.
"WHAT?!" literally almost everyone screamed.
"Kakashi senpai that's not fair. I've known you longer." Yamato sensei whined at Kakashi sensei making his signature 'scary' face. The others on the other hand, mainly Choji and Ino since they where the closest, stood up from their seats and confronted me.
"HOW COULD YOU NOT TELL US THAT YOU'VE WITNESSED ONE OF KONOHA'S GREATEST MYSTERY?!" Ino said shaking me by the collar.
"It was an accident! i swear!" i yelled back feeling dizzy. She continued shaking me back and forth.
"HOW WAS THAT AN ACCIDENT?!" she finally dropped me.
"I was supposed to check on his vitals when he suddenly sat up from his bed. He didnt have his mask only the bed sheet covered his face. So when he sat up, i saw it." i confessed. They continued to stare at me. "What?"
"Well? What did he look like?" Shikamaru asked. Yamato Sensei was busy whining at Kakashi sensei, I glared at Kakashi sensei.
"You snitch."
"They were going to know anyway might aswell tell them." he defended, smiling.
"I could snitch on you right now." i threatened.
"You wouldn't" he glared, the atmosphere changed. His stare was cold and deathly.
"Hahaha.. You're right. I wouldn't." i laughed nervously shifting in my seat
His smile came back like a flash. "Right."
Everyone sighed in defeat.
"Well that's that." Shikamaru said.
I couldn't even look at Kakashi sensei's direction. I shivered again.
Asuma chcukled. "What in the world did you do to make her so scared. Look at her shes shivering." I didn't even bother to look or deny. i just stayed sulking in my corner.
"Just some minor things to ensure my identity's safety." He replied.
The rest of the dinner went off smoothly, some jokes where made, light friendly threats, and even some memory throwbacks. Now we paid for the meal and left. We walked home enjoying our time since Kakashi sensei was going back to Konoha in the morning.
"Hey there hot stuff." Ino got pulled to the wall by a random person.
"Watch it!" Ino said angrily.
"I always liked it when they fight back." He licked his lips. Ew.
"Hey let go of her you creep!" i said but i was pulled into the alley by the side walk.
"Awe you're jealous cuz your friend has the attention? Don't worry i'll give you some attention." the guy said pinning me to the wall.
"I wouldnt do that if i were you." I warned.
"What your guy friend over there?" He looked back at the sidewalk where the boys where standing looking at us. "They don't seem interested to save you or your friend." He turned back to me with a weird look on his face.
"Oh. It's not us you have to look out for." Kakashi sensei said stuffing his hands in his pockets.
The two unknown males looked at them blinking.
"Its them." Asuma sensei finished his sentence.
The guy looked back down at me. "So whats the word now Sensei?" Ino said, You could almost hear the smirk in her voice.
"Go ahead." Kakasi said. "Just don't kill them." Asuma smiled lighting a cigarette.
We left the two men beat up and tangled in the alleyway unconscious. Ino and i high fived proud of out work.
"Some people just have no human decency." Ino said
"Serves them right." I said patting my palms."
"You guys might have over done it a bit." Asuma said.
"They're lucky they only left them with a few bumps and bruises. For all we know they could have left them with a broken rib or two. Or perhaps a jaw." Kakashi sensei said in thought.
"Okay now that's over doing it." Yamato sensei said.
We continued our stroll and luckily enough it was peaceful all the way home. We each had a warm bath and watched a movie until it was time for me to sleep.
"I know why you really left Konoha." I was currently almost sunrise. The sky was blue, The sky was in a dark shade of blue. I was standing outside to see Kakashi sensei go off.
"What do you mean?" I asked pretending not to know what he meant. As far as ive know i haven't told anyone.
"You left Konoha but being a hero was only part of it." i looked away guilty.
"Is that why you came here?"
"Partly. I was also tasked to see how you were doing by the Hokage." He said.
"I see."
It was silent for a moment. Only quiet shuffles and the sound of a zipper closing filled the silence
"I think you should know. Naruto has been distracted ever since you left." I looked at him concerned.
"Is he alright though?"
"Yes." He turned to me "You should visit sometime."
I nodded and smiled. "Of course i will."
He hummed sending me a smile and a waved before jumping on the gate and disappearing from view.
I couldn't help but worry for Naruto. No matter what i will always have his back as does he. We made that promise long ago. Way before we became a genin. Now that were apart its hard to comfort him but i'll drop everything here and run back if he calls me.
'Even if the sky does fall
Even if they take it all
There's no pain that I won't go through
Even if I have to die for you.'
I remember singing that with him and we meant it. No one else knew him better than i do. No one knows me better than he does. We my have had nothing bet at least we had each other. People tried to rip us apart, people like Zabuza, Orochimaru, Kabuto, even Itachi when he came back to Konoha with that Akatsuki friend of his.
No matter what crossed our paths we managed to overcome it.
Im sorry Naruto. I can't come home just yet. Just hold on just a little while longer.
I looked at the sky sending a quiet heartfelt message and hope that it reaches Naruto whereever her is, what ever he's doing, i hope it soothes whatever is bothering him. I want him to know i still care, im still here.
I tightened my jaw and went back inside for some shut eye before i go to school.
----------------------------------------
"Everyone.... Im looking forward to hearing all your stories about the training camp." Mina said sobbing along with Satou, Kirishima and Denki. I looked at them sadly.
"We don't know that for sure! there could be a last minute twist." Midoriya tried to comfort them.
"Yeah. Come on guys." i tried to cheer them up. Mina looked at me and engulfed me with a hug and cried even more.
"Its hopeless!!" She cried. I hugged her back and patted her back.
"Stop it guys. If you say it you might jinx it." Sero placed a hand on Midoriya.
"If we failed the exam then we'd have to skip the training camp and be in summer school hell." Denki said looking away.
"Now don't say that." i said still comforting the sobbing Mina in my arms. He looked at me and joined in the hug with Mina. I sighed and used both my hands and patted both of their backs comforting them.
"Guys..." Midoriya said sadly at them.
"Since we failed the practical exam. If you guys still don't get it then you're dumber than moneys!" Denki yelled and poked Izuku's eye.
"Calm down!" Sero said. Satou and Kirishima joined in my embrace. I may not have enough hands to pat them but im trying.
"There there." I patted them.
Sero sighed "I don't even know about my team. We passed thanks to Mineta but i was sleeping the whole time. Anyway since we don't know how they'll be scoring it.." Sero trailed off in a sad tone.
"If the feel bad for us then i dont know! Bring us back something!" Denki yelled. i shushed him and patted the back of his head. He burried himself into my embrace again. Meanwhile Izuku was covering his eyes from the poke that Denki gave.
I sighed and opened my arms to both Sero and Izuku. They ran in and joined the hug. "I only have two hands so yall have to share." I said patting them one by one.
"You're so kind!" Mina said crying again.
"Promise me you'll bring me something when you get back." Denki said.
"A comforting hug for me will be fine!" Kirishima said.
"Something sweet for me." Satou said.
I looked at them and smiled. "You guys it'll be alright."
"Let me get in that hug to~" Mineta said pervertedly making his way towards me.
I gleared at him giving him a warning. "Don't even try." when he didn't stop i pushed him away using my foot.
"Awe come on! Denki gets some!" He whined.
"This is different. Im comforting him."
He was about to say something but the classroom door opened harshly. When we saw it was sir Aizawa every one got off me and ran back to their seats. I sighed in comfort then went to my own chair.
"Unfortunately there are some who did not pass the final exam. Accordingly, for the training camp in the woods." i looked over to Mina, Kaminari, Satou and Kirishima who had helpess expressions on their faces. Aizawa sensei smiled. "Everyone is going!"
Me and Kirishima shared a look and smiled bumping our fists together. He turned to sir Aizawa "We can go too?!"
"Really?!" Sir Aizawa said plainly said yes while Mina was on the verge of tears.
"Some failed but no one failed the written exam. In the practical Kirishima, Kaminari, Ashido, Sero and Satou falied.
We gave sorry look to Sero "I knew it just because me team passed doesn't mean i scored high enough not to fail." He facepalmed. Our attention was redirected to Aizawa
"For this exam we on the villain side made sure to leave a way for the students to win while watching to see how you all would react to take on the task at hand. If we hadn't you would have been stuck before you started." He looked at me "I hope Kakashi pushed you." He said raising a brow.
"He's more on the talk side. We've only sparred twice. Thrice if you count the exam."
"Where are you getting at?" sir Aizawa asked.
"He didn't use his tricks on me. It was pure fighting. I guess its just weird for me."
"How much did he hold back?"
"On a scale of 1-10.. I'd say 6? He only used lightning release jutsus, one earth technique and a substitution here and there. That's not half of his Jutsus." Sir Aizawa hummed
"Well you passed either way." I nodded. He turned back to the class "The training camp in the woods is one to increase strength, so those who failed need it the most they need to get stronger. It was a rational falsehood." He smiled widely at them. They rejoiced at the new information given to them.
After the day we gathered around reading the training camp guide.
"A week of training camp huh?" Iida said
"That's a lot of stuff to bring" Midoriya commented.
"Yeah. Im not even sure i have those other stuff." I said.
"I don't have a bathing suit or anything." Kaminari said.
"Same here." I said my eyes continued to read the book.
"There goes my plans to buy night vision goggles." Mineta said.
"How about we go shopping together tomorrow?" Hagakure offered everyone.
"That's a great idea!"
Then we made plans for tomorrow on the time and location.
"We'll stop by your house tomorrow." Uraraka said smiling.
I nodded and smiled back. "Alright. Send me a message so i can prepare." She nodded at me. Sadly Todoroki and Bakugou wont come with us I understood Shoto's reason but Bakugou's such a party pooper...
I watched as the explosive as blonde walked towards the door. He glanced at me, he then looked away then slammed the door behind him. 'what was that about.' i shrugged at him and waitied for tomorrow to come.
