Mask Off, Spot On

Chapter 1.2

"As your sensei, if there's anything bothering you, you can tell me about it, ok?" Kakashi says, a smile noticeable through his one visible eye.
You only find in yourself the courage to smile back at his affirmation, remorse swelling up within you.

You knew you'd been thinking about all these otherworldly matters perhaps a little too much, and that lately you'd seemed to forget how to live in the moment. Perhaps confining in someone could help you relax a little, and perhaps Hatake Kakashi would be the perfect person to do so with. After all, he was your sensei, and you couldn't imagine all the troubles you could lead to if you confined in your other teammates instead. That is:
Sakura would panic, and Naruro would jump up and down with too much excitment, and you didn't even want to think about how Sasuke would've reacted to everything you'd share, that is if he even listened to you to begin with, you might've even given him some weird ideas and he'd just end up deserting the village in the end anyway.

Kakashi was the only person you knew that would keep calm and wouldn't try to do anything rash sounded the idea of someone who knew what would come next.

Perhaps it was time you spoke to someone about everything. Your smile fades and you look down to your noodle soup, a frown forming in your lips.

"...Thank you, Kakashi-sensei... I really don't know what to do..." But then, what could you do? Tell him you'd reincarnated, or even worse, 'popped up' in here from another world? Or perhaps that you were some kind of witch that could predict the future...?

Kakashi fell silent when he heard you say that, certainly not expecting that whatever was going on with you, if there even was something going on with you, would be so serious that you'd lower your head down in despair and self-conflict.

Realizing that perhaps wether you shared your story or not, was a subject that'd probably need some more thought to it, you raise your head to look at your sensei once again, and give him a wry smile, muttering:
"But it's probably nothing to worry about, though."

Your bowl finished, you place what you owed on the balcony for Mr.Ichiraku to take, and got up from your chair to leave.

"[Y/N]." You stop in your tracks and look back at your sensei as he called out your name, sending him a questioning look. He then as well gets up from his chair and steps forward so he now stands next to you, and smiles with his visible eye at you, making a soft red creep on your cheeks.
"I'll walk you home, the moon's already up."

You simply nod your head in response, and you both begin walking towards your apartment.

All the villagers were either on the townsquare of Konoha, or tucked in their own homes, leaving the streets of The Leaf empty, a soft moon blue blushing the pathways both you and Kakashi took. He too, seemed to catch onto the fact the only the both of you were left alone in the streets, and took the chance to speak up to you, for the matter seemed to be a sensitive one.

"[Y/N]--" Though you cut him off before he could say anything else.

"Kakashi-sensei, you do remember..." You pause, hesitation looming through your words. "The time when I was found near Konoha, and you were asked to take me into the Team?"

"...Of course."

"Do you think... you could tell me about it again?" You ask, anticipation rising in your gaze. Kakashi only sighted after you finished your request, as if he was finally catching onto what you'd been wondering so much about, and as if by knowing, he felt relieved.

"You were found in the middle of the forest, demiclose to the Hidden Leaf by Team 9 as they returned from a mission, and as you were unconscious they decided to bring you to the Hospital. When you woke up, you had amnesia and all you remembered at the time was your name..." Kakashi spoke, and noticing your interest in the matter, he continued:
"You didn't know what to do, and were willing to earn Konoha's hospitality by working on a job. Since you seemed to have a good chakra source, the Hokage, Tsunade-sama, recommended that you'd become a ninja of the Konohagakure and you agreed. Soon after, you were placed on the Team 7 with me as your sensei.... and that was three years ago."
You looked at him for a moment with wide eyes, surprised at how well he remembered this past event. He lowered his visible eye to look at you, a glint you didn't really understand shimmering in his eye.
"...Have you by any chance... began to remember..?"

Once again you were  surprised by his straight forwardness, and end up looking down, afraid that his eyes that caught onto all would figure you out much too fast.

"I... may have... thought of something..." You stutter your words, searching for the best ones to spell, and how to.

After a moment of silence, you feel a hand patting your head, making you look up at your sensei.

"Well, it's late. Why don't we speak more tomorrow? Try not to miss training again, okay?" Kakashi says, smiling at you. You look around you only to notice you were already home, faster than you'd expected. You look up to your sensei one last time wearing a worried expression, before nodding and waving him goodnight, soon enough tucking yourself into the comfort of your warm bed.

You felt like you'd just lit up a very troublesome wild fire, which was to spread into either chaos, or fall into ashes.
