Konoha was a small town lying the midst of a forgotten state in the absolute heart of nowhere. Infact, before the insident, few people, infact few people from neighboring towns had even heard of Konoha.

The worst part had been the suprise. They were normal; Konoha and everything in Konoha was normal up until then. Tears were spilled as well as blood. People started to lock their doors at night for the first time. They would walk on by instead of staying hello. Infact, after the insident, the people Konoha saw the others they had lived by each day of their lives strangly, as strangers.

When he was sad, they say he was angry too.

"Kakashi let go of me!"

But he never wished he was happy.

"Your not going to fight me on this. You can't."

Because he blamed it on himself.

"Fuck you!"

"I'm just trying to help."

There were people who loved him. The people who only wished he loved them back.

"I don't give a shit. You and I both know I'm fine!"

But how could he love anyone eles

"You'll be killed."

"Like anyone cares."

"I do."

"Yeah right. I'll keep telling myself that."

When he didn't love himself.

"You can be such a brat, Sasuke."

"Shesh, you can be such a bitch."

They wish they could help him.

"I need to bandage your wounds."

"Why do I even have to go, Kakashi?"

"Because I care for you, and I love you. Your like a brother to me.

"I don't love anyone."

But nobody could. He wished to find that person.

"You'll be safe If I take you there. Much safer."

"How do I know he's not one of them?"
"I know. He's a good man."

He wished to love that person with all the love people felt for him. The unrequited love.

"Kakashi, what if they find me? What if they hurt me?"

"You'll be safe." He pulled the other into a hug. "Trust me."

He was aware of a loving touch, and it was unreal.

"Sorry, Kakashi. I told you before. I don't trust anyone either."

"What ever you say, kid."

He felt safer

"We have to leave. You know Iruka: always be on time."

when he didn't get close to people.

"Okay. Fine."

If he never loved and never trusted

"Has the great Uchiha Sasuke given up the fight?"
Such things would never happen to him again

"You wish."

And he would always be safe.
