Chapter 64: A VISIT TO THE NURSE’S OFFICE
"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 something 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 came to the outside world, I realized something. 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 mean?" Leo asked, confused by Kakashi’s statement.
"I mean what you did wasn’t right but I knew you had no other choice, I would have done the same if it was me" Kakashi sighed. "But your mom isn’t here, your father doesn’t seem to care. Don’t you think it’s time to be free?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"I mean 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 me compared to the other one, and I think you should just be yourself"
Kakashi tried to smile and this time 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 name?" Kakashi asked trying to change the subject.
"M... My what?" Leo blushed.
