"Welcome home."
His breath brushed the stray hairs behind Shiori's ear.
Stiffly, inch by inch, Shiori turned around.
Hatake Kakashi stood there, still wearing that plain white Hokage robe, though he had taken off the haori over it and left the collar casually open. His silver hair was a little messy, probably because he had just finished a meeting. His mask had been pulled down and hung around his neck, revealing his entire face. His lips curved into a smile Shiori had seen hundreds of times, one that meant comfort and warmth.
The tiny mole at the corner of his mouth looked like an ambiguous mark in the dim light.
But his eyes. Those eyes, usually half-closed and lazy-looking, were now clearly open. Their pupils reflected her ashen, dazed face, and Obito huddled behind her. There was no surprise in his gaze, no panic at having his secret exposed, only a kind of deep-sea calm, and a hint of satisfaction that was hard to describe.
"My dear Shiori."
