My Little Scarecrow is Gone (Kakashi X Sakura)

My Little Scarecrow Is Gone: Don't Cry, Little Cherry Blossom (Kakashi X Sakura)

Sakura:

How did he know that I cry when I'm alone? How could he tell? Is it really that obvious? "Um Kaka-Sen-" Kakashi interrupted, "just call me Kakashi when we're not training or on a mission, okay?"

"O-oh okay then.....Kakashi how could you tell?' (Kakashi wanted to lie but he knew she would see through it). "Well I check up on you every once in a while. After that incident with your home and parents........I just want you to be happy....." (Kakashi was silent after that and he forgot he was still holding her. After he said that she started to cry).

I can't believe he does that for me. He's the first to care about me that much.

Kakashi:

"Huh what's the matter? Did I say something wrong?" I said. She was practically crying a river. I feel like I did or said something wrong. WHAT DO I DO???? "No its not your fault. I'm not crying of sadness but of happiness. You're the first person I've ever known who cares about my well being. Thank you," (Sakura immediately punches him in the stomach really hard), "but if you want to check up on me don't be a stalker!!!!!!"

Ok I deserved that. She's right. I should just confront her when I want to check on her. And I'm still shirtless. I don't even have any dry clothes on....

"Uh hey I should.....put these clothes on.....ya...."

"Oh Right! Sorry! I'll leave now!!" she said flustered. She looked cute all flustered like that....

Sakura:

Oh Gawd he was shirtless the entire time!! Oh Gawd oh Gawd oh Gawd!!! Ugh!! At least I'm out of there!!

(She tries to think of something else to not get even more flustered than she already is. But it fails horribly. She runs straight to her room. She goes onto her bed to put her face in her pillow to scream. It's kinda hard for her. I mean she loves him but we can't because it's illegal and it would make him into a pedophile if he loved her back. She didn't want to do that to him.

(Kakashi finishes changing and he wonders where Sakura went to. He starts to look for her. She stops screaming to hear Kakashi saying her name and coming up the stairs to her room. She gets up and fixes her hair so it's not messed up. He knocks on her door and she lets him in).

"I'm sorry for making you get all flustered up. I should've kept my shirt on. Sorry," he says. "Oh no it's fine! Don't apologize!" I say calmly.

(The two stand there having an awkward silence. But they can hear the rain outside turns into a monsoon. Sakura then breaks the silence).

"Oh gawd. The rain is getting bad. It's turning into a monsoon," I say.

"Oh wow! It is! I should get going then...." he says.

"Are you sure? It's getting really bad.....You could stay here until it gets better! I don't mind....." I say.

(You can't see it because of his mask, but he's blushing. He didn't want to bother her. Plus what if it didn't stop all night? He thought he had to go).

"No. It's fine! I'll be alright! I don't want to be a bother.....and what if it doesn't stop? I should-" I interrupt, "if it doesn't stop you can stay here! I have a guest bedroom and you won't bother me! It's alright! Plus I don't want you to get sick....please. Do this for me."

(Kakashi sees the worry on her face. It's really bugging him but he has to stay. He doesn't want to upset her. So he says yes and she gets excited).

"Alright cool! I'll get the guest bedroom ready! You can stay here and wait," I say happily.

Kakashi:

I'm glad she's happy. But I think I'll be a big bother to her. I don't want to annoy her. But she looked so worried. And if I do get sick she'll be even more worried. And she might get mad. Either one is bad. Both is worse.

I stay and look around the room. I see she has all sorts of things here. The decorations are very......interesting....

(Sakura gets the guest bed ready. It's a king size bed. It'll be good for him. But it hasn't been used in a while. It might be as hard as a rock. She tests it out. Nope. It's good. It's fluffy and soft. She fluffs the pillows and puts new sheets and blankets on it. Now it is ready. She goes to her room to see Kakashi holding his childhood toy. She kept it because she didn't know it was his, one. And two, he let her keep it to make her feel better).

"Hmm oh hey. I take it the rooms ready?" I say. "Ah. Yes. It is. I see you've noticed the toy I had since I was a kid. I don't know whose it is but I kept it so once I know I can return it," she reply.

"Oh. Well there's no need for that. It's yours now," I reply. She looks at me confused. "Think about it for a minute," I say.

(Sakura thinks for a few seconds and when she realizes, it's like she had an epiphany).

"OOOH! It's yours!! Okay!! Well if it's yours you should keep it!" I reply, "no. I want you to keep it so when you're sad, you can hold it knowing you're not alone."

I put down the old memory. The toy was a stuffed bear but it was old. It had some stitchings in it because it ripped a lot when I was a kid. I always sewed it back up. My mother died when I was an infant so she couldn't do it. And my father killed himself when I was around ten. Not like that. He sacrificed his own life for his team.

Sakura:

I showed him to his room. I asks if he wanted me to get him something to drink. He said he was fine.

It was already getting late. I should get some sleep. I went back to my bedroom. I took the old toy off of my desk, where it was, and went to my bed. I held to toy close to me as my thoughts drifted away and my dreams clouded over them.

Kakashi:

I stayed up late. I couldn't resist reading my Icha Icha book. But I ended up staying up until midnight. I got really thirsty so I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. But before I went down the stairs I went past Sakuras' room. I heard her whimpering and crying. Oh no.

I quietly open the door and see she's only having a nightmare. But it looks bad.

(Kakashi walks over to Sakuras' bedside and sits on the edge of her bed. He sees she's crying really hard. And she's squeezing the life out of his old toy. He cradle my hand on her cheek. He wipe the tears away and whispers to her).

"Don't cry. It's no good to cry. Don't let any more tears escape. You're not alone and you're alright. You're safe. Please. Don't cry, little cherry blossom. We are your family now," I whisper.

(Sakura wouldn't stop crying though. She was dreaming about her parents death. But her parents said repeatedly, "if you stayed awake, you could've saved us." And each time they walked closer to her, they got even more burnt up. They were about to get right up in her face, she feels Kakashi's hand and hears him talk. She hears every word he says. But she still cried. But it was of happiness. She then sees the burning house turn into a beautiful flower field and her parents disappeared and all of her teammates and senseis appeared. She talks in her sleep sometimes and she did at the perfect time).

"Thank...you...Kakashi..." she said in her sleep but still cried. Now I know it's of happiness. And now I can leave her to be happy.

"I know your asleep but I have to go," I kiss her forehead, "goodnight." And I let go of her and leave the room.

I go downstairs and get my water and go back to my guest bedroom. It's still pouring outside. It's not as bad as the monsoon but it's pretty bad. I go to sleep with the sound of the rain loud in my ears.
