The Oldest Nara: Kakashi x Reader

6: Awakening

I decided to walk through the streets of Konohagakure. It had been so long since I had been here, but everything still looked the same.

"Hey, Y/n," Kakashi said as he dropped in front of me suddenly.

"Geez!" I yelled as I jumped backwards. "You scared the shit out of me! You could just walk up like a normal person..."

I rolled my eyes and continued past him.

"What else can you do with your kekkei genkai?" he asked while trailing closely behind me.

I shrugged, "Lots of stuff."

"Like?"

"Why don't you tell me what your sharingan does?" I asked in return.

"It can do a lot."

I turned to him, "Exactly."

"Your fighting style is a lot like Itachi's," he commented.

"Mm, well, I've spent a lot of time training with him," I responded mindlessly while looking at a stand of fresh fruit.

He stood next to me, "You should know that Asuma is kind of seeing someone."

I paid for an apple, and looked at him before taking a bite, "Ok?"

I really didn't know what he wanted, or why he always seemed so apathetic, but I wasn't in the mood to try and decipher it.

I strolled to another stand, looking at some paintings while enjoying my snack. I noticed Kakashi had pulled out a book to read while still following me around.

I smiled at its familiarity. "So, you like to read?" I asked.

"Mm," he said lazily.

I bit my lip softly, a little nervous at what I was about to admit, "Icha Icha books are my favorite."

He looked at me with wide eyes, "Really?..."

I nodded shyly, "But don't tell anyone! Especially not Jiraiya."

He chuckled softly.

I looked at him with a smile growing across my face, "I've never heard you laugh, Kakashi. It's cute."

"Y/n?" I heard a familiar voice call.

I shot my head around, "Zo!" I ran up and jumped on him, wrapping my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist.

He held me tightly while he spun me around once.

"I can't believe it's really you," he said as he set me down.

I looked up at him, "I missed you so much."

"I missed you too, Y/n. I'm so glad you came home."

"Hey, Tenzo," Kakashi called while walking up to us.

I had gotten to know Tenzo really well in the Anbu, especially after Itachi left.

He was the only one I ever did missions with or hung out with during those couple years before I disappeared.

We were closer in age than most people I met in the Anbu, and we always got a long really well.

"Hey, Kakashi," he smiled. "I didn't realize you two knew each other."

"Only recently."

"I'm now a teacher with Kakashi," I explained.

He laughed, "You? A teacher?"

"I can hardly believe it myself," I mumbled.

"Day off?" Kakashi asked.

"Just grabbing some supplies before my next mission, actually."
