Different Type Of Wizard

Upon the Hour

"So have you realized it then?" Harry asked also drying off.

"Realized what?" Kakashi asked.

"That you can have a life? Feelings? Opinions?" Harry listed. Kakashi glared at him, how many times did he need to explain this to the boy.

"I'm not explaining it to you for the third time Potter, just give it up. I will be gone by the end of the school year, and I'll never be comming back. If I'm not going to bother with remembering anyone here, then you should do the same. " Kakashi said, his patients wearing thin.

"Not think of you again!? Kakashi, you have saved my life multiple times and have taught me many ways to defend myself! I consider you to be one of my best friends! How could you say something so heartless!" Harry argued.

"Because that's life Potter. The only reason why I "befriended" you in the first place was because it would make my job easier. You've even heard it from Azuma, I don't have friends, only the mission. Everyone I have ever gotten close too is dead because of me. I'm a curse!" Kakashi said dangerously. "And it's best if you understand that now, before you get yourself killed. Now, go find Hermione, the task is tomorrow and you will need all the time you can get to prepare." He said emotionlessly, his stare dark and cold.

Harry stared back into Kakashi's single dead eye, the other covered by his headband. Harry couldn't believe what he was hearing, but he wouldn't give up. Kakashi wasn't Voldemort after all, he could somehow be able to change Kakashi's broken and black heart. He walked out of the bathroom, heading straight for the Library to where he knew Hermione would be.

To Harry's surprise, he had found both Ron and Hermione in the library, engrossed in whatever it was that they were reading.

"Ron! Hermione! Kakashi and I found out what the clue from the egg is!" He said excitedly in a hushed whisper.

"Really, what did it say?" Hermione asked.

"I'll tell you later, we don't have that much time until the Tournament, we have less than 18 hours to figure out a way for me to breath underwater for an hour." Harry said in haste. Ron and Hermione nodded their heads in agreement, instantly setting to work.

Kakashi walked back in silence to Minato Sensei's office after supper to tell him the news. He had believed every single word he said to Harry, however, he felt himself regretting them. His father had committed suicide because of his decision to save his comrades... his friends. And Obito had also died, protecting him. If they had just stuck to the mission, then they might have both still been alive. However, Kakashi heard Obito's words echoing in his ears. "Those who don't follow the rules and regulations are trash. However, those who abandon their comrades are worse than trash."

Kakashi felt the battle between his heart and mind take place, making his head pound. He felt sick to his stomach, disgusted with himself. But before he reached Minato Sensei's office, he saw Minato walk out with Snape. He wondered why Snape would be bothering Minato this late at night. He continued his way towards the office dispite his Sensei's absence. He still needed to thank Kushina for her help. He decided to knock this time, considering he didn't tell her he would be comming at this hour. She opened the door and instantly smiled down at him.

"Kakashi! Come in." She greeted in Japanese sweetly. Kakashi walked inside and followed her to the large black couch, sitting beside her.
