"Ne, Kakashi?"
"What?"
"Do you regret it, Rin's dead?"
"....."
"I'm sorry. I mean, she loved you."
"She loved -loves Obito."
"What about you? Who is the person you love?"
".... She's dead."

Her eyes are wide open now. Unknowingly, her eyes are already swollen. She has set his heart for someone else ever since they were in the school. She is hoping for something she will never get. Why would she still be waiting? Isn't it too harsh for her though?
Especially when she's the one that's arranging his dates.
Life.
Life has her tough.
She couldn't beat it. She would fall.
Like how she always fall in love with him, every second she sees him.

She walks downstairs and towards the kitchen before taking a glass of water and drink it as fast as she can. She can see no one now so she can escape again today. She wash the glass and run to upstairs before her way is being block by her father.
"We need to talk."
"If this is about the marriage arrangements, I won't."
"Stop forcing yourself, Amaya! Stop hurting yourself!" Her father looks at her sternly.
"Were you there when I failed the Chunin exam? Were you there when I cried? Nope. In fact, you look at me as if I'm your worst nightmare. And look, you hurt me more than he will ever do." With that she push him out of her way and walk to her room.
Her father is still standing there, probably thinking that what he had done was wrong. But it was too late, so late.
She lays down on her bed, looking up to the ceiling. Chunin exam.... Her tears fall down again.
.
.
"You've failed?!" Her father scream at her face with everyone's eyes lock on them.
She just silent and cry so hard because she feels humiliated in front of many others. He turns around with a scoff and walk away, looking as if he hates her.
She runs to the river and sit there for hours, crying and all. Nobody's going to come to comfort her. She is all alone. She wipes her tears and hiccup all the time. She looks on her right side. A boy who is probably little older than her is walking to her direction.
He then sits beside her and she looks at him in confusion. He looks at her.
"Don't cry."
Her heart pounds and she can't take off her eyes of him. She bites her lips, holding herself from those hiccups.
"Here," he take out his hand, there is a handkerchief in his hand.
She takes it and wipe her eyes.
"Congratulations." He says softly.
She feels rage on her blood but before she can say anything, he continue.
"Congratulations for being able to participate in the Chunin Exam. You've done well enough. But now that you've failed it, try to practice harder and make your father turns to look at you with a smile. If you're being down like this, nothing's going to be solve."
She looks at him and look away again. Her heart is beating in an abnormal way.
"By the way, I'm Kakashi."
She take a glance at him, "Amaya."
"That's a nice name." He says.
And that day, he makes her smiles.
