It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining peacefully upon Yugakure, the land was peaceful and content once again which is how everyone wanted it truthfully. Squad 7 from Konoha, were currently passing through the streets of this hot spring town. Naruto, obviously wanting to take a soak in the hot springs finally convinced Kakashi to stay at an inn for the night, Kakashi couldn't believe how stubborn and annoying Naruto was. He takes a breath sighing as he walks around with his Make-out series book in his hand, he enjoyed the perverted quality of the book, mostly because he wasn't seeing anyone. As Kakashi walks around though, he feels chakra nearby which was weird considering Yugakure, was usually pretty shinobi free. He sets his book in his pouch, following the chakra needing to know why he felt as though this chakra seemed familiar. His eyes scanned the streets for the source of the chakra before he finds it, he sees it was a girl with long brown hair but that was all he could see for now, mostly because her back was turned towards him.

"Thank you Isoya…" The girl says before she turns around nearly running into Kakashi. "W-Woah, I'm sorry…" She says as she finally looks to him. Kakashi's eyes widen as he stands there, she blinks confused as to why he had such a surprised look on his face. "Are you alright?" She says softly concerned.

"Y-Yes I'm fine, thank you…" He says still stunned but now being able to talk.

"Okay, well see you later." She says as she moves to the side and walks pass him humming softly.

"Wait!" He calls to her.

"Hm?" She turns around and looks to him confused as she held a bag of ingredients in her hands.

"What is your name?" He says eagerly.

"My name? My name is Rin Nohara…Why?" She says standing there confused but she sighs looking up to the sky seeing it was getting a bit late.

"R-Rin? Your name is Rin Nohara?" He says before he grabs her shoulders.

"Yes, my name is Rin Nohara. Who are you?" She says removing his hands taking a few steps back away from him.

"Rin, it's me…Kakashi Hatake." He says wondering why she didn't remember him.

"I don't know you…and I have a pretty good memory…Sorry…" She says, her brown eyes set on him gently.

"I'm sorry...I must have gotten you confused with somebody else…It's just I use to have a friend with the same name as you." He says a bit sadly remembering the day Rin died, imaging the blood of his friend on his hand.

"Its fine, we all make that mistake…But it is weird that your friend and I would have the same name…" She says wondering who he was still.

"As an apology, can I buy you some lunch?" He asks her looking at her gently.

"I'm heading home now…So not today but maybe some other time." She says smiling at him before she turns around walking off.

Kakashi heads back to his squad, confused, was she his dead friend or just an imposter. But even if she was an imposter where did she come from and why was she here? He had way too many questions, but he knew she probably couldn't answer them. After the squad fell asleep, including Naruto who had been up eating his belly full of ramen, he sends a bird out to Yamato asking about the experiments Orochimaru had done. In the morning he heads out to find her again, needing to ask her a few more questions.

"Oh, it's you again…" Her voice rang in his ears from behind, he turns around looking at her.

"Yeah…It's me again…How did you sleep?" He says a bit embarrassed right now.

"I slept great, thanks. How about yourself, Kakashi?" She says tilting her head to the side as she asked the question.

"I slept well…" He lies, having not really slept himself.

"Rin? Can I ask you a question?" He says standing there looking at her seriously.

"You just asked me a question, silly." She says smiling trying to lighten the mood, though it was obviously not working.

"Rin…Who are you? Where did you come from?" He asks her straightly.

"Hm? I'm Rin." She says simply before she thinks about the second question, "And to answer the second question, I would have to say I'm drawing a blank. I don't really remember much about my childhood…My adopted mother just said I walked up to her doorstep and asked for food, after that she adopted me taking me in." She says shrugging lightly.

"You were adopted? And you don't remember your childhood?" He says to her though mostly to himself.

"Yes, to both those questions. Jeez, you sure are repetitive." She says closing her eyes getting a bit bored now as she stretches closing her eyes.

"Sorry I'm just curious is all…" He says apologetically.

"It's fine, oh and by the way, this bird came for you…He got injured on the way back from your village and fell. I helped him and got him to you. See ya." She says waving before leaving him with a bird in his hands, which chirped at him.

Yamato:

Hey Kakashi, why are you asking about the experiments and if there were other survivors? But, as far as I know there were no other survivors, mostly because they were destroyed or because they couldn't handle the first hokage's cells.

Kakashi sighs as he reads this and writes on the note back that he may have found another survivor of the Orochimaru experiments. Now he could only wait and see what the day had planned for him, now knowing that Rin was back, but with no memories of who he was.
