When A Petal Falls

Deep in delusion sending me over

Okay so this is a warning! A very serious warning! – For those who haven't read the manga and do not want to know the fate behind Kakashi in the Canon universe please know that you are walking in to spoiler territory. Though I feel many will know I understand that some may follow the anime and not the manga. I really don't want to be that person who ruins endings so please only continue if you don't mind spoilers or you already know what happens.

This chapter is rather long... but I got excited aha. e.e

side note ~ Song that i had playing was My Delirium by LadyHawke hence the title. Adore the album it's from! *^.^*

also ... yes i am sorry, i did it again.. posted then went and edited *hangs head in shame*

In the heat of the summer day and the encroaching cool evening the cobbles bellow Sakura's feet seemed to radiate a dulling warmth. The air around them weighted with humidity stickily clung to them and every other unfortunate soul who roamed the busy streets. Sakura had hoped that the rain would have cleared away the dry air, 'of course that small drizzle wouldn't have been enough' she huffed inwardly and supposed that maybe this was some cruel form of torture at the hands of irony, she always did like the bathing house a bit too much. Yet, the world was not one vast bathing house in which someone had haphazardly left the showers on. This heat was great and over encompassing, completely inescapable once you let your legs carry you out with the safety of a building. Sakura could already feel her hair frizzing, she watched the shadow she cast now as they walked and indeed her hair began to have a halo effect, 'nice' she thought with a feeling of exasperation. Eyes clouded with said exasperation Sakura swung a glance up at Kakashi, who had a particular look about him, like a captured pup, restricted from bounding off the walls. Sakura was aware that her considerably shorter legs meant that walking with her had three outcomes. One, and the most common, entailed watching the backs of those she was with disappearing over the horizon, another had her all out running to keep up. Or, and this was a very rare phenomenon, those she was with walked at her pace, which meant a hell of a lot of patience. Only one had tried in the past Sakura remembered and it had been Naruto, who she had to recognise held out awfully well before snapping and calling her a snail. To which Naruto then had, to Sakura's fury, expertly avoided her retaliation in fists before having her chase him all over the village.

A sense of gratefulness wisped through her at Kakashi's effort, Sakura went to smile then faltered upon the realisation that the copy-nin had caught her. Right smack in the middle of the inquisitive glance she had swung.

"hm?" he grunted somewhat dejectedly.

Rummaging throughout her mind Sakura searched hopelessly for a conversational point that would eradicate the bidding social monstrosity that was clawing at the gates of her delirium. Then in a stroke of forgiving happenstance a question she had meant to ask him unearthed itself from the foggy archive of her memory.
