Hatake✔️

52

Kakashi stands behind me in the mirror as I fuss with my shirt.

"You look pretty." He says.

I look at him and sigh.
"Let me try on a different shirt." I say tossing this one onto the pile of the others.

Kakashi smiles and sits on the edge of the bed.

"Are you going to wear a mask?" I ask.

"I don't think so." He says.

I stop and turn to him.

"I can get you one." I say.

He rubs his hand along his jaw.
"Do I need it?" He asks smiling.

"No. I love your face. It's just that you should be ready for people to fawn over you." I say.

"Hmm. I get to do this more." He says then kisses me.

I feel my face warm up.

I slip on my shirt and smooth it with my hands.

"Alright." I say.

...

"Our first service is to spread these seeds out." I say as Kakashi hands out the small packets.

"These are special plants that are semi aquatic. They should be able to withstand the rain."

I take a few and follow outside.

I demonstrate how much to shake out. Then they all walk around the mud and toss handfuls across the empty space.

They all return and I kneel to the ground. I focus all my chakra to my hand and then to the water.

I close my eyes.

I open them to see the plants already waist high.

The villagers awe and smile at the new plants.

I catch my breath for a moment.

Kakashi helps me us and checks on me.

"You alright?" He asks quietly.

I smile and kiss his cheek.

The villagers then take me to a broken water container.

"This limits how much we can store. The water has to be purified just to ensure it's safe for the children." Someone says.

"The ground has shifted too much to make it stable." Another says.

Kakashi steps forward and looks at it. He weaves some hand signs and levels out the ground, and creates a small roof with supports.

"This should work temporarily until we can fix the damage." He says.

I fall behind of the others and look out at the horizon.

The wind is blowing the rain diagonally.

A shiver runs up my back.

"Hey?" I hear.

Kakashi is next to me.

I frown.

"What's wrong?" He asks and grabs my hands.

I shake my head.

"Did you use too much chakra?" He asks me.

I wrap my arms around him.

"Hey." He says softly.

"I want you to get checked by medical." He says petting my hair.
