Shinobi love- Kakashi x OC

Flashback part 25

I peered my weary lids open and was met with the familiar static white and greyish hair that seemed to be my fading scenes each time I woke up or passed out.

The constant beeping of  the heart beat machine had seemed to diminish its irritation as I got more immune each time.

I tried to get up but halted as my whole body tensed.

I felt something stiff and heavy laying above my knees and tilted my head in a angle just so I could see what it was.

Roughed up, matted white hair that seemed to have lost its shine greeted me as I felt a strong urge to run my fingers through them.

His skin tone was deathly pale, his lids, tightly shut as dark rims of circles marked his under lids persistently.

His brows were arched in worry as he seemed to be clinging on to whatever sleep he had been dearly deprived off recently.

My heart wrenched.

He seemed so lonely, afraid, confused, troubled and desperate all at the same time.

His right palm had clenched the hem of my hospital gown tightly, it was as if he was afraid I would leave him and had wanted to make sure I was right beside him.

" Have you forgotten about me, dear Kasumi?"

*
My heart halted, and went limp. All feelings in my arms, the tingling sensations that lingered at my fingertips, the urge to comfort Kakashi had all evaporated in that instant.

Hatred consumed me.

I closed my eye lids and remained still, determined to leave him be and feigned sleep.

----
"K-kasumi... wake up, it's time for your medication"

I uttered a groan and fluttered my rested lids open.

A much healthier looking kakashi stood in front of me, his eyes downcast in shame.

I forced a mild smile and cleared my throat,

" I'm awake now, thanks kakashi. "

He finally brought his eyes to meet mine and his entire being relaxed upon hearing my voice.

" Are you feeling better? I'll be out for a minute while the nurse administers your medicine. "

With that, he quickly shuffled his way out of the white room.

I bit my lip as the cold metal instrument contacted my lukewarm skin and even more so, as the fluids rushed into my bloodstream.

I blinked my stiff lids a couple more times and heaved a sigh of relief when the injection was finally done with.

----
It was night time, and I was starting to feel suffocated by the confinements of this boring, overly white room.

I wasn't even allowed to leave the room for fear of infection or contracting illnesses that would worsen my already, 'weak' state of health.
