Chapter 3 - Flashback

In the presents of the other three members of her ANBU black ops squad, a beautiful 16-year-old female sat. She was dressed in a full length black cloak, and all that was visible was her hands, for her faced was masked. Her ANBU animal was a tiger, for that's what she summoned. She was a higher rank ANBU so the striped pattern on her white tiger mask were blood red. She was Sokomame Uchiha.

She was the only female in her squad, so she always felt as if she was being looked down upon. But the only ninja in the squad that surpassed her in skill was another youngster, only a year older than her. His name was Kakashi Hatake. She thought that he was a cute boy, with his silver hair and mysterious face, for all she ever saw was that one dark-blue eye (A/N - I know his eye is really black.). She didn't talk to him until one day during the street fair.

Sokomame was just walking around the fair, looking at the booths. She was in her normal clothes, just a navy-blue dress. But this dress was rather seductive, it was so short that it really left nothing to the imagination. Also the wide collar looked, as it was about to fall off, exposing much of her cleavage. The only thing that was long on this dress was the sleeves, they were wide and draping, so you could not see her hands. But on those sleeves lay the crest of her clan, Uchiha. Also another crest lay around her neck on a silver chain. (picture)

The silver haired ninja, who was leaning agenced the outside wall of a teahouse, was catching up on his reading. For Kakashi was addicted to the Make-Out Paradise series. But his eyes rose from the book when he noticed a lady that was not afraid to flaunt her gorgeous figure. But when the deep black eyes of the lady flashed over at him, he put his book away and walked over.

"Sokomame, I hardly see you outside work..." Kakashi said, He knew that he could not say that he was an ANBU so he called it 'work'.

Sokomame snapped her head at the familiar voice, "Oh, Hello Kakashi-kun" She pulled her long hair over one shoulder, and stood up. "What do you want?" She asked in a rather friendly voice.

"Well I haven't seen much of the fair, So I wanted some one to accompany me, and I saw no one more fitting than a beautiful lady such as your self." Kakashi smiled, but it was barely visible through his ninja mask.

"Well aren't you quite the charmer." Sokomame smiled, "But I wouldn't settle for less, I would love to." She wrapped her arms around Kakashi's, and they began to walk around the fair.

After a long day, it was starting to get late. "Kakashi-kun...Today was amazing" Sokomame told the man that she had been with all day.

Kakashi smiled down at the girl (A/N- she is only 16 so she really isn't a woman persay), "Do you want to come to my place and have some tea? And we can talk some more..." Kakashi asked.

Sokomame smiled and nodded, and they proceeded to walk to Kakashi's house.

Kakashi poured the tea into two glasses, and brought them out to the small table that Sokomame sat at. He handed her the glass, and she sipped the tea. It was surprise good. Kakashi sat on the other side of the table.

"So...Why do you hide your face?" Sokomame asked. "Is there something under that mask that you don't like to show people?"

"No, I just have always worn it, ever since I was little." He replied rather open endedly. "But I have to cover my eye, or I will drain away my chacra..."

Sokomame cocked her head. "How is that?" She was rather confused; she took another sip of her tea.

"You being of the Uchiha clan doesn't know the non-Uchiha having the sharingan..." Kakashi lifted the headband, to show the crimson red eye. "It's me..."

Sokomame now remembered some of the thing that had been said about the non-Uchiha having their Kekigenki. But they really didn't seem to have that big of a problem with it. She knew that they didn't like the fact that some one else had their power, but she got the impression that they were glad it was him and not anyone else.

"So you can't choose to use it or not?" She asked. She didn't know how he really worked with it for she had the full power.

"Nope..." He sighed covering it back up. "Hey come with me I want to show you something..." Kakashi stood up and began to walk to a sliding door.

Sokomame followed him. When he opened the door, it revealed to her a beautiful view. The bright light of the full moon lighted the sky. And the clear sky let all the stars show. But it didn't look onto the rest of the city, but the mountain with the four Hokage faces carved into it.

As she stared at its beauty, Kakashi came behind Sokomame and wrapped his muscular arms around her. She seemed to fit perfectly in the embrace. She sighed, he was so warm and he made her feel safe.

She turned her body about half way around, and placed her delicate hand on Kakashi's cheek. She could feel his inhale deeply as she slowly slipped her finger under the tight mask. She slowly pulled the mask down letting her feel the extremely soft skin that never sees cold or wind. (A/N- it's like a new born baby.) When she finally pulled it off his chin, she placed her hand back on his cheek. He slowly lowered his head and their lips met in a passionate kiss...

The two didn't talk to, or even saw one another for month and a half. But Sokomame had to go over to Kakashi's house today. She really needed his help.

Sokomame knocked on the door of Kakashi's house. She was dressed in much more formal attire. She was in a formal blue and green long-sleeved kimono. She also wore her wooden sandals, and her hair was pulled up into a bun and covered in blue draping flowers(A/N- like lavender but blue).

Kakashi opened the door, but before he could say anything Sokomame pushed herself into the door. Kakashi was rather stunned by this, be she had given him just enough time to figure out who she was. He closed the door, and looked over at the girl who barged into his house. She was now sitting on the edge of his bed with her face in her hands, and he could hear the slight whimpering coming from her.

"Soko-san what is the matter?" He asked is voice soft and caring. He sat down next to her and wrapped his arm around her.

Sokomame picked up her head and he saw her red tear stained face. She wiped her face off with her sleeve. "I... I... just ran away from my wedding..." She collapsed into his chest, and began to cry again. "I just couldn't do it..." she muttered into his chest.

"Why couldn't you go through with it..." Kakashi voice was still soft, but it sounded a little worried, like he knew the answer.

"Be... because I am with child..." She pulled her head up and looked into Kakashi's eye. "Your child..."
