5 : neighbour

It was late at night after I took detour with Naruto. I like to hang out with him, because he's childish and he is what he like in anime.

I also met Sasuke, Sakura and Konohamaru along the way.

Sasuke also what he's like in anime, cold and Sakura, in some time she be mad at naruto then clingy to sasuke.

Man, I hate this kind of girl.

Naruto being a kind, good gentle boy he is, he decided to help me looking my place.

I am more than glad that he help me.

" Ne, Naruto," I said as we walked.

"Why do you like Sakura? "

He was blush in embarrassment. "How did you know that?"

" It's obvious. Everyone can tell. "

Naruto keep in silent as he think.

" Sakura is beautiful," he said. I facepalmed as I heard his answered.

"That's all? "

"Well... She always mad at me but she is actually kind. "

That is kinda true but I still don't like her.

" Okay. " I shut my mouth for a while debating whether I should tell him about his future love or not.

"What about Midori-chan? "

"Huh? "

"Do you have someone you like? "

Should I tell him? 

No harm done right if I told him?

"Well, " I was about to tell him when I saw someone I like.

"Kakashi? " I mumbled under my breath as I saw Kakashi from distance.

" Huh? You like Kakashi sensei? "

Shoot.

Then I start to rant. " No. No. No. I don't like him. I mean I do like him. It's not like like him. But I'm kinda like him as in — " I grabbed my own mouth to shut myself up.

" Kakashi-sensei! " greet Naruto went he realised Kakashi close to us.

" Yo! " He greet.

I didn't want to looked at him because I'm crazy for him, I'm sure I'll pass out if I don't control myself down.

And I just hope he didn't know what we were talking about.

" You live here? " asked Kakashi.

" I think? " I gave him a paper that was given by Hiro when he talked casual to me which I'm glad.

" Ah, we're neighbour. " he said after take a look at the paper.

" What? "

Wait. Kakashi and me are neighbour? Neighbours as in a place that is close to each other? That's mean that I -I  

I think I'm going to have a nosebleed again. Bite my lips.

I bid Naruto goodbye before going into the apartment with Kakashi.

I walked beside him.

I can't believe it.

" Well this is your room, right?" he stopped at the door and gave me a paper.

"It seems."

" I'm going inside. If you need anything don't bother to asked me. "

" Okay. Good night. " I said to him.

Gosh. I sound like a girl.

Wait I am a girl.

" Well good night. "

I smile like an idiot.

Bit by bit, I admit I started to like this place after all.

...

But I still hate Shinichi sensei.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I woke up early in the morning, because I am a morning person.

Looked at the watch, it's still early. I decided to take a tour around Konoha by my self.

I spot a monument that shaped like fire and I came close to it.

Kakashi always went here and I spotted him at the distance.

I came closer to him and he seems like he too indulge into his emotions that he didn't realize me beside him.

I stood there in silence and take a thought.

About this whole thing.

And Shinichi sensei.

And this world.

About changing someone life.

Can I do that?

Can I prevent death here?

I don't have any power to begin with and I'm weak normal human.

I am just who I am the way I am before.

Just how stupid is Shinichi sensei sent me here without any super power. At least give me an ability to fly or what.

"Midori? "

I looked up as I heard Kakashi called me.

" Hey, " I greet normally to him. I hope I'm getting used of him around here starting today.

" I didn't know you here. "

I smiled. "You always go here? "

"Yeah," he said in whispered. There's a mix emotions from the way he answered me.

Poor Kakashi. I understand you.

"Ne, Kakashi," I called him after a long silence.

" If you can see other's death, what do you do?"

It took a while for him to answered me. " I think prevent it."

Oh.

But how? I don't have a power to do that.

How I'm going to prevent Hokage's death? Konoha destruction? Itachi death? Jiraiya? Neji? Pein? Obito?

"What?" kakashi glance hard at me as I said it out loud. More like a whisper.

Shoot.

" How do you know him?" he asked me with a glare.

"Yo-your past," I tremble, afraid that he's mad because I knew his past but he looked down with a sad face.

He's so vuneral I'm going to hug him.

"I was bad am I?"

Now I was sad when he said like that. So I appear in front of him and looked him into his eye.

Even though my eye level are past his chest.

Dammit I'm short.

" You know that you're strong? "

He tilted his head.

So cute.

" People that you loved and protect are gone, but you change in a good way. Most people will break and went to the wrong way. I've seen it you know. All of it," involuntary, I held both of his hand as I assure him.

" Everyone dies. It's just a matter when. Sad you're going to be but they will never came back. It hurt to face that fact. But you have others. They're going to support you. They'll never going to leave you alone. Heck, even your students will never let you sacrifice yourself," I said this as I remember the movie that Kakashi sacrificed himself and Naruto came to save him. It's my first movie of Naruto that I watched and that was when I fell for him.

" Things will getting better. But before that there's more challenging things that you need to face. "

I just want to mention that Obito is alive and he's lost right now.

But I can't.

I don't have any power to bring him back.

I cried and hugged kakashi.

Poor him. Lost his dad, sensei, the one his need to protect and his friend. How can he be so strong?

" You're so strong," I said to him with a sniffed.

Dammit. I'm crying in front of a person I like.

He ruffled my green dark hair with his right hand as I tried to calm myself down.

I feel warm, at ease and my heart beat fast as he do that and I stopped crying after that.

" I'm sorry, " I said to him while looked up into his eye. He must be shock when I suddenly hugged him.

I don't know but I can see a blush creep on his cheek.

Maybe it's my eye. I don't know.

" It's okay. You're okay? "

I nodded. "Yeah I'm fine. "
