Injured and out of chakra... you went all out again.

Doing things half-way isn't my style...

An admirable quality! I guess it's fine as long as you don't actually die.

But don't take that as an okay to get yourself like this all the time.

I never have.

[... okay, that's a lie, but]

Considering you're here, I don't think you can say that...

You're a tough teacher to look after.

Students really don't need to look after the teacher...

Then I'm starting a new tradition.

[... unsure if want]

And we're living together, so you're my responsibility for now.

[sigh.

takes a moment to think to himself what Sakura and Naruto would say if this situation happened back home.

...

well.

Sakura might threaten to keep him hospitalized for a week after he's scheduled to leave. just as punishment. and she could carry through with that threat if he wasn't quick enough--ehhh, frightening.

Naruto... would bring him ramen. a lot of ramen. and constantly harass him about being lazy and always seeming to like staying in the hospital after missions... Sakura would start to yell at him and then Sai would come in and say something reckless...

... Tenzou would use his weakness to get back at him for their time in ANBU...

trying to decide which is more depressing: the lack of familiar faces in this place, or the idea of one of those people ending up here.

--was actually quiet longer than he has meant to be]

... ah. Thanks for your care.

[looking at as he's staying quiet]

You're welcome.

[hurrah for lower part of face being covered...]

... haa... what're we going to do about food...

Don't worry about it, I'll take care of feeding us.

... not allowed in the kitchen.

I'll get someone else to do the cooking.

Do that.

... and. And you might as well tell Robin evening training's cancelled...

—Ah, that's true. Not all your students live here. I'll take care of it.

[silent for a moment, and then looking away]

Hey, Kakashi. I didn't tell you why I haven't had a teacher since I was ten, did I.

... no, you didn't.

[he stays silent for a few more moments before he starts talking, still looking away]

My teacher was ... an older brother of mine. Well, I didn't know back then, but for a time he was the only one I've ever seen as such regardless.

Either way... he tried to assassinate me.

. . .

[wish he could say he was surprised, but...]

[his voice sounds neutral and the same as always, but it's written all over his face that this isn't a pleasant thing to recall]

Coulomb was of a lower standing, but he could still have been chosen as the representative of the Yao clan in my place. Anyway, taking someone else after he was executed didn't seem like a good idea. That's about it.

...

Fortunately... I have no interest in being a leader with that much power, even if that was still the case here.

... why bring this to light so suddenly?

... I don't know. I felt like I should tell you, since you're my new teacher.

[and looking at Kakashi now]

But if I had to try to put that feeling into words, I guess it's because I want you to know this isn't a role I would have picked anyone for.

... something like that.

... I understand.

[his turn to look away now]

But... understand. I am not reckless without reason. You worry. I understand that. But you have less to worry about than you might think.

I know. I'm going a little overboard... I'll try to be reasonable about it.
