Ely POV
'Do I really make that impression?' 'Oh, ehm...' Embarrassed, my counterpart scratched her head and blushed slightly. 'You're already a jonin, but you're a year younger than us and I thought you wouldn't want to talk to someone like me.' Now I was the one scratching the back of my head in embarrassment. 'You're Sakura, right?' 'Yes, my name is Sakura. How do you know my name?' 'Observation and there's only one person in your year with pink hair.' With a smile on her lips, Sakura looked at me. 'Oh and Sakura, it was very impressive how you fought against Ino and resisted her jutsu.' Sakura turned all red. 'Thank you, that means a lot to me to hear that. But I wasn't much help to them, I'm far too weak.' 'Hey, you've made immense progress. You don't need to hide. One day Sasuke and Naruto will rely on your help. So don't stop working hard. It'll pay off eventually.'
I said goodbye to Sakura and made my way to the Memorial Stone. I didn't need to hurry, I was meeting Kakashi there and one thing I'd already learnt as a little kid was that he was always, always late. His excuses need to improve. When I arrived at the Memorial Stone, I stood in front of it and prayed. 'That you manage to get somewhere on time. I'm impressed, Niichan.' 'Don't be like that. I can be on time too.' Whoever buys it. Niichan and punctual, but oh well. 'I know why you wanted us to meet here.' 'I should have guessed that, something like that doesn't stay hidden from you.' I smiled at Kakashi and then turned back to the Memorial Stone. 'Ely, you know you can talk to me about anything?' 'Of course I know that.' 'Why did you join the ANBU?' There was so much concern in his voice. 'You're partly right in your suspicions. The deaths of Ryoko and Nao are one of the reasons. That's true, but I wanted to go this way. It should help me to grow. This may sound totally strange, but I have chosen this path and I will follow it. I hope you understand that. I won't hide my feelings and I will always come to you to talk about them.' 'I am always there for you and will support you on this path.'
Kakashi POV
She is sometimes far too wise for her age. I will support her and I know she will achieve everything she sets her mind to. I looked up at the sky and briefly thought about everything we had already experienced together. Ely stood next to me with a slight smile on her lips, looking up at the Memorial Stone. 'You know, everything happens for a reason. I believe in that.' 'Let's protect the ones we love.'
Ely POV
'Let's protect the ones we love.' He's right about that. I will protect the ones I care about and I will not fail, not again. We stood like that for a while. 'Kakashi, I have a question. Who's training Naruto and Sasuke for the final round?' 'What makes you think that?' 'Well, you can't train both of them at the same time. They both need different approaches to training. Naruto needs different training and attention. I think you can get Sasuke ready for the final round rather than Naruto.' 'That's right, I haven't thought about that yet.' Oh, man.
'I'll let you think about it then. See you tonight.' I made my way home, but before I got there, Shikamaru crossed my path. 'Congratulations on reaching the final round.' 'Oh, man, that's so stressful.' Why didn't I realise that? Shikamaru Nara and full of vigour, I think before this happens, hell freezes over. 'Don't overexert yourself.' With that, I ran off, because I really wanted to get home.
