"Wolves are pretty," she said. "And I don't consider insects as animals. They're .. not .. cool enough. Yeah, that's it." Suddenly, her eyes sparkled. "LIGERS! I love Ligers! They're one of my favorites, too!"

"Insects and I don't go together...Not one bit," Kakashi said as he shook his head. "I don't care if they aren't animals....I still hate them. Yeah. I agree with you Ligers are soooooooooooo cool!!" Even though he was against create new species by force breeding, he thought ligers were the coolest. Ligers were a cross between a tiger and a lion. "I saw it on Animal Planet!!! That's a muggle TV station, by the way." Kakashi explained.
"Do you like hairless cats?" Kakashi asked sounding like a small child now that they were on the subject of bizzare animals.

"Yeah, even though I'm pureblood, I have a lot of Muggle friends, and back at home in France I used to go watch TV with them and do Muggle stuff," Scarlett said.
"Hairless cats?" she asked, pondering. "Eh, they aren't very attractive, but that doesn't make them bad. What about mooses?!"

"Er....Mooses? I guess their ok." He tried remembering what he knew about moose. "Hm...I also saw on Animal Planet that you should stand far away from moose because they can charge at you," Kakashi said while nodding knowledgeably. (sp?)
"Have you ever seen a white crocodile?!"

"I've seen a moose!" exclaimed Scarlett excitedly. "When I went to Alaska, in America. It was pretty. Hmm, white crocodiles? No, I don't think so .."

"I saw one before!!" Kakashi said his eyes glinting. "When I went to the zoo, when I visited America. They're really awesome!!! They are just like regular ones but WHITE! And...And...It had RED EYES!!" Kakashi babbled on and on about white crocodiles. "I haven't seen a real moose before..." he said as he drooped in sadness. His dream was to see every animal in the world before he died. And he told Scarlett that, too.

"Wow," she said, her breath hitched in her throat. "That's an amazing goal. I hope you accomplish it." She smiled, before looking away and the joy in her eyes faded. She was recalling a memory, one that she had often, and the happiness inside of her suddenly drowned out.

Kakashi's happiness suddenly faltered after looking at Scarlett. "You look troubled. What's wrong?" Kakashi asked softly. He didn't like sad people. That's why when he grew up, he wanted to find a cure for cancer, diabetes, stop poverty, and cure any sickness! "Scarlett? D-did something h-happen?" he asked as he stood up to get her a glass of water. One of the house-elfs offered to help but he could do it himself. He carried thet cup carefully over to the table and set it down in front of Scarlett, awaiting her reply.

Scarlett knew that he had spoken, but she hardly registered the words. She stopped having goals. Slytherins hated failure, but that's what she was. Scarlett figured that if she no longer made any goals for herself, then there would be no way she could fail. She saw a glass of water appear out of nowhere and she shook her head, lifting up an incredibly shaky hand to drink it. However, when she lifted the cup into her hand, it shook so much that the water on the surface spilled out.
She hastily set the cup back down, the cold water hitting her fingertips. She looked up at Kakashi. "Could you ..?" she asked, trailing off, her eyes darting to the cup, hoping that he understood that she needed his help drinking it.
She only found herself in this state of shock on rare occasions, but when they happened, it was a truly pathetic sight. Scarlett Scythe, the normally upbeat, flirtatious, and fiery-spirited girl lost all of her personality for as long as it took until she recovered.
She was, of course, thinking about her uncle.

Kakashi's eyes filled with sadness as his friend was in a terrible state. Her hands shook so much that she couldn't even drink properly. He asked one of the elfs to get him a napkin. When it came back with a whole heap, he took one and folded it. Kakashi lifted the glass up to her lips, putting the folded napkin underneath, he tipped the glass slowly, pouring the liquid into her mouth. He set the cup down once more and looked at her.
"What's wrong?"he asked again, this time more worried. "If its a family situation, I can understand if you don't want to talk to me about it."

She looked up at him, and she could even FEEL the dullness that her eyes had turned into. She sighed, folding her hands in her lap. "I trust you," she said. "You're one of my best friends. I'll tell you." She took in a breath, trying to stall a bit of time, and reached for the water again. This time, she was able to hold the glass properly.
"Have you ever been raped?" she asked suddenly. Not even waiting for an answer, she said, "Neither have I. But that was from pure luck. I was two inches away from it."
She stood up and walked over to him and immediately engulfed him into a hug. "Please hold me when I tell you the story," she said sadly, "I get scared if I'm alone."
She began her story. "When I was eight years old, my family moved away from Britain. My father decided that it would do the family good to go out and explore the world. Eventually, we decided to stay in Italy with my Uncle Théodore."
She took in a shaky breath. "My parents enjoyed going out for pureblooded gatherings or just to be with their other socially acceptable friends. During these times, Uncle Théodore would be asked to stay and watch over my sisters and I. Uncle Théodore had taken a special interest in me particularly, probably because I was the oldest. By this time, I was already eleven. My sisters were younger and when my parents went out, they would normally study in the library, while I would stay downstairs and draw or compose music."
Scarlett was still hugging Kakashi, holding onto him as though her uncle would come find her if she didn't. "Two days after I had gotten my letter to Hogwarts, Uncle Théodore had declared that he wanted to play hide and seek with me. My parents were, again, out of the house, my older brother was at school, and my sisters were off in the library, so I agreed. Uncle Théodore told me to count to ten and he would go hide. After a few minutes, I found him hiding in my parents’ bedroom. When I discovered him, he grabbed me and forced me onto the bed."
At this point, Scarlett might have been crying. She didn't even know. She shuddered. "All I can remember was screaming and being in pain. I knew that I was not raped, but it had definitely been an attempt at rape. Either way, I had been beaten, both with hexes and with Muggle tactics, like knives. I remember my sister Juliette telling me that she had walked into the room and then owled our parents telling them what was going on, before they had Apparated into the estate immediately. I was rushed to St. Jean’s (the Italian equivalent of St. Mungo’s) and my uncle was sent to Azkaban. Now I have a large, nasty scar on my stomach. That's when we moved back here."
She pulled away and lifted up her shirt slightly to show him a big, purple scar.
((This is something I made for her character, has nothing at all to do with me .. purely fiction.))

Kakashi was also hugging Scarlett. He was stunned. Kakashi despised people who did such things. A fire burned inside him. One of these days, he will rid that earth of these obscene people. His eyes burned with that fire. The only thing he managed to say was, "I'm sorry about that horrible experience," Kakashi said gently. "But, what made you think of that terrible memory all of a sudden?"
He looked at the scar revealed beneath her shirt. He stiffled a gasp by biting his lip. His face was white from fury. One of these days...Ohhh...One of these days....

Scarlett pulled her shirt down and saw that there was a wet spot on Kakashi's shoulder. Ah, so she had been crying. Weird; she couldn't even tell anymore.
She answered his question apathetically. "We were talking about goals, right? Well, when I was ten years old, a year before all of that happened, my older brother, who was my best friend, told me about abuse and stuff. He told me I was a strong witch, and a lot of guys were going to like me because apparently he thought I was going to grow up beautiful. Ha, as if." She laughed at this bitterly.
"Anyway, he told me to make a goal for myself. He said that I had to make a goal about not ever letting myself be abused, or taken advantage of, but to be a woman of pure integrity. Obviously, I've failed."
She looked down and inconsciously moved to where his arms were, needing someone to hug her again. "Besides, I've been called a prostitute enough times, just for looking the way I do, so obviously I don't have much integrity and obviously I'm not very beautiful."
She sighed, burying her face into his shoulder again. "That's all my biggest secret."

((It ain't a secret any more, where 1,000,000,000 people could see it XD))
Kakashi hugged Scarlett tightly. "Your brother was right, you are a beautiful and strong witch." He smiled in her hair. He didn't know how, or why, but he felt comfortable around Scarlett now. He had grown fond of her over the last few days.

((Lol, XD, I know, but we haven't been interrupted yet so I've got hope ^_^))
Scarlett's head was still on his shoulder and her arms were still tightened around Kakashi as though he were attached to her. She smiled a true smile, no strings attached, no sign of teasing or mocking. It was a true smile.
"Thank you," she whispered, involuntarily sniffing his hair. He smelled very good. She giggled into his neck, where her face was nuzzled, and felt her breath reverberate back onto her face.
"I'm sorry for bringing this onto you," she apologized sincerely. "You're a wonderful friend, Kakashi." She closed her eyes. Somehow, she felt perfectly comfortable right where she was.
