16 Chapter 16: Break walls
"Kakashi! I heard you like Orochimaru-teme more than me!" Jiraiya came to complain. Kakashi raised an eyebrow and tilts his head. Orochimaru behind him with a smug look on his face.
"I like all of you but I am more fond of Orochimaru-sensei he is cool" Kakashi answers with a grin.
"I'm cool!" Jiraiya shouts offended by my answer. Kakashi just gives an innocent look in his direction.
"I am cool!" Jiraiya states again but is more depressed about it.
"Of course you're cool just not as cool as Orochimaru-sensei" Kakashi bluntly says. Orochimaru couldn't help but smile at Kakashi answer. He turns to look at Jiraiya to find him sulking even more.
"This is so unfair! What is so likable about him?" Jiraiya sulks as he glances over to Kakashi. Orochimaru is also curious why the brat likes him better. Kids usually like Jiraiya better, well always like Jiraiya better.
"Why wouldn't I like Orochimaru-Sensei?" Kakashi asks with a small head tilt. He couldn't just answer so he doesn't betray the village and leave!
"Well, kids your age are scared of him. Well, any kid is scared of him no matter the age. Heck, even adults are scared of him" Jiraiya explains with defeat.
"That's dumb Orochimaru-sensei is amazing why would people be afraid of him? He is also very nice! He already helped me many times and I have only known him for a short while?" Kakashi questions with his arms crossed. Acting very upset that people didn't like Orochimaru.
"No need to get upset over it" Orochimaru replies bluntly. He is used to it now. What's the point of getting upset about it? They are unimportant so why should he care what they think about him?
"Orochimaru-sensei it's not fair! They don't even know you but they already judging you!" Kakashi grumbles childishly. He needs to change Orochimaru's image in the village. He needs the village to accept him. If they don't Orochimaru might turn his back to the village once again.
"Haha, you are a good kid!" Jiraiya laughs in pure joy. He wasn't one bit upset about it. He is just glad someone else can see that Orochimaru is good. That he isn't the cold-hearted monster everyone makes him out to be.

Orochimaru POV
+++++++++++++
Kakashi is very strange compared to other children. He has never looked at me with fear. He even looks straight into my eyes when we talk. Even most adults aren't able to keep eye contact with me. He is one of the few people who have seen me as human. And one of four who take my feelings into account. Quite strange its been a while since someone cared for him.
"Kakashi to me they are nothing only specks in my life. There are only four people who I care about and only people I will listen to" I tell Kakashi who is still pouting. I frown when has it been four? Why did he add Kakashi to that list? Is he already attached to the kid but it hasn't been that long since they met.
"Ok, I'll listen to you for now. But if anyone badmouths you in front of me. I will attack them" Kakashi says determined with his hands crossed. He would usually look down on childishness like this but a smile had unconsciously appeared on my lips. It looks like the brat has finally broken my walls.
