Amina Pov:

When I woke up I kept my eyes shut tight. Images of mom and dad's limp bodies and lifeless eyes flashed through my mind but I just clutched tight to the hope that when I opened my eyes it would all be a nightmare. That I could run to their room and curl up on top of their warm bodies. Tell them I had a terrible dream and feel them wrap me up tight and let me fall back asleep in the safety of their arms. When I opened my eyes I looked up at a ceiling that did not belong to my room room

"No.." I whispered just staring at the dark wood ceiling

"Good morning Amina" I heard Kakashi's voice by my side but I didn't want to turn my head. Seeing him would mean, undeniably, that what happened yesterday was real

"I'm sorry" He mumbled nearly silently and I let out a shaky breath

"I want to see Naruto" I said not taking my eyes from the ceiling

"Lord Third will send for us... He's holding a meeting with the higher ups in the village right now" He explained and I pulled my lips down

"About what?" I asked

"What to do next" He said simply

"I made breakfast" He offered but I shook my head against the pillow

"I would throw it up" I muttered and he sighed almost silently

"You have to eat something" He said softly and I pulled my lips tight as I finally looked over at the silver haired teen

"No thanks" I kept my voice low so he couldn't hear the wavering of it.

"Fine.. do you need me to do anything?" He asked and I immediately thought of what mom and dad would do if I was sad. If I ever got sick or cried dad would always wrap me up in his arms and hold me until mom brought me tea and they would both sit with me until I was happy again.

"I want my mom and dad back" I whispered, looking back up at the ceiling and gripping the sheets tightly in my fist feeling fresh hot tears spill down into my hair. What was the point of tea or hugs if they weren't with them.. I felt something warm touch my cheek and it took me a moment to realize it was Kakashi's thumb.

"I know" was all he said back

"Kakashi how did you do it?" I asked and he hummed

"What do you mean?" He questioned

"How did you survive after your dad died?" I whispered opening my eyes and blearily looking up into his only open dark eye

"I think of the good times, I am forever thankful that I had the time that I did with my father because some people don't even get that much.. But it wasn't easy to get here.. I've cried and I've been angry" He said quietly and I let out a shaky breath. A scream erupted from my lungs when there was a tapping at the window and Kakashi quickly reached his hand out to grab mine

"It's fine, it's just Lord Third" he said smoothing his thumb across the top of my hand

"Let's go" I breathed out, sitting up and throwing the covers off of me

"Do you want to go get a change of clothes?" He asked and I looked down at the dark blue sweats that were rolled four times and still bunched at my ankles, and the only slightly oversized shirt

"No, I want to see my brother," I said firmly. He nodded and handed me my sandals before slipping on his own. His hand was so warm as he grabbed mine tight and my breath hitched as we shunshined to the Hokage's building. We weren't in his office though, we were in the meeting room that had six people in it. Lord Hokage, his three advisors, Naruto and grandpa Jiraiya. I would have normally gone up and hugged him but instead I moved to Naruto who I scooped up in my arms.
