"I thought if I stay in the academy, I can finally proof toy father that I can still be useful"
"Leo, it not about what you’ve done, it about what’s inside" Kakashi said pointing to her chest. "You lived your life blaming your self for sothing that is not your fault, you don’t need to feel that way."
Kakashi turned back and then stared at the sky. "When I was younger,my mom used to say I was special, I thought it was because I had the ability to control lightning. But after I ca to the outside world, I realized sothing. It’s not our ability or deeds that makes us special, we are all special because we were born into this world. The world isn’t such a bad place, it’s just that they are so many bad people, but we can change it"
"What do you an?" Leo asked, confused by Kakashi’s statent.
"I an what you did wasn’t right but I knew you had no other choice, I would have done the sa if it was " Kakashi sighed. "But your mom isn’t here, your father doesn’t seem to care. Don’t you think it’s ti to be free?"
"What do you an by that?"
"I an you should forget about them and move forward, be yourself" Kakashi turned to Leo and held her shoulder. "I haven’t known you long enough to really say this but I like the Leo that’s in front of compared to the other one, and I think you should just be yourself"
Kakashi tried to smile and this ti he successfully did it, a genuine smile!. Leo felt her heart skipped a beat.
_This feeling? What is it?_
" So w... What’s was your real na?" Kakashi asked trying to change the subject.
"M... My what?" Leo blushed.
"Co on, tell . I promise I won’t tell anyone" Kakashi said with a smile to cheer her up.
"I.. it’s Mallory but don’t call that!!!"
"Mallory, huh?. So cute"
"You won’t think it’s cute when you know the aning" Leo muttered.
"I’m going to bed" Kakashi said and walked into the bathroom, washed up and ca out minutes later. "Good night"
Few minutes after Kakashi laid down on his bed, he felt a gentle touch. He opened his eyes to find Leo beside his bed,but this ti, she was wearing a black singlet and a jean shorts.
"Can I sleep with you tonight?" Her voice was like a silent whisper in the night.
Kakashi was still sleepy, so he didn’t really hear anything,he just nodded and went back to sleep. Leo slowly slipped under his blanket and held him from behind, her thought was still the sa.
_I finally found soone who accepted for the way I am_

"You’re lucky to be alive with just a few burns" Nurse Violet said as she slowly unwrapped Kakashi bandages. "Is Leo okay?, I was hoping to see him"
After he passed out the previous night, it was too late to take him to the infirmary so he was told to visit the nurse the next morning.
"You think?" Kakashi smiled and scratched his head. " For a mont, I thought I was going to die. Leo seems to be in a much better condition"
Violet folded the bandages, put them in the trashcan and stared at the burns, gently rubbing it with her palm and surprisingly, it was slowly healing. She smiled, enjoying every mont of it, the sensation she felt was sothing she couldn’t explain.
_I must have him_ She thought to her self as she stared at his handso face. "What’s important is that you didn’t. I would hate to see soone so full of life waste away"
"Okay...."
He didn’t know how to respond to that.
After almost an hour of rubbing, Kakashi was now completely healed, his burnt skin had all ca back to normal without leaving a single scar or sothing to rember it by.
"Leave the bandage for a few days before removing it" Nurse Violet said.
It was obvious that Kakashi didn’t know he could heal himself and neither did Miss Tokoyami, until she finally understands his ability, it was up to her to keep it to herself. She wouldn’t want anyone to take her specin from her.
Kakashi stood up from the stool and bow. "I’m sorry for any trouble"
"Co on, it’s nothing" Nurse Violet laughed. "It my job to make sure that every supernatural in this academy is in good health, and that includes you"
"It just that, I only ca here yesterday and I’ve been here three tis already"
What Kakashi said made her recall on a similar experience.
"You know, you’re not the only one who cos here often. There was soone who visited , he was always injured" Nurse Violet smiled and turned back to her desk. "It’s lonely sotis, since I quit my job as a demon hunter I spent my ti studying demons and slowly, I grew obsess over it. And since then, everyone just sees as a freak, they think I’m unstable, they are all scared of , only one person is kind enough to visit and because of so personal reason we don’t talk much. It might sound selfish and weird but I’m glad you always get hurt, because you’re the only one who visits "
Kakashi who was about to leave stopped and turned back. No wonder Charlotte left him when he ca to the infirmary, and why he wasn’t brought to here when he was hurt the day before. He walked back to the bed and sat on it.
"I don’t have anywhere to be so why don’t we chat, Violet?" Kakashi said with a wide smile.
Violet wiped the drop of tear that was about to drop from her eye, she turned her chair to Kakashi with a smile on her face.
"So what do you want to talk about?" She asked.
"You were a demon hunter before, so tell . What was it like?"
"Hmm... I don’t really have much to say" Nurse Violet sighed, feeling a little frustrated. "During my demon hunting tis, I didn’t really have anything worth telling"
"Then what about the story of how you ca to the academy?"
Nurse Violet twitched, she looked reluctant.
"There will be a eting today, maybe another ti"
