Were it anyone else in the village Kakashi wouldn’t have gone along with the urging to get some rest, to finally get a full night’s sleep, but this was Airi and that made all the difference. So he didn’t stand firm against her push, instead he just fell back on to his bed, and stopped ignoring his body’s demands for rest. While Airi was grabbing his chair he just got comfortable, and was infact nearly asleep in the moment he cot under the covers. 

It was Airi running a hand through his hair that kept him awake, because it was a foreign feeling for the masked ninja. He never had anyone in his life that would play with his hair, his mother passed shortly after his birth, his father was a ninja, and there had never been a person in the corp that Kakashi trusted or that trusted him for them to be close enough for such a simple act of affection and care to come about. 

Kakashi decided he enjoyed the feeling.

“Wasn’t going to lose you” He mumbled as he was again on the verge of sleep “Too important” He cracked one of his eyes open as he smiled softly at her, before he finally relinquished his grip on the waking world, making her sincere and honest expression was the last this he saw before he slept and it was his gifted eye that he had unknowingly used. Thus her soft smile as he drifted off to sleep was forever etched in to his memory. 

It would lead to one of the most peaceful and restful nights Kakashi had ever known.

[u]~The next morning~[/u]

There is any number of things that could have led to Kakashi waking up when he did. The late night, the harsh week he had been subjected too, his injuries, the fact that his sleep had been so peaceful for once. All that and more, but in the end it was still a bit surprising to the silver haired Jonin that when he woke up it was 9:15, hours later then he would normally wake up. He gave a small shrug at that after a moment, after all it was a day off, more or less, so he was entitled to sleeping in.

[i]‘Wonder if anyone else is awake?’[/i] he wondered silently.
