Love leaves you scarred-part two.
Minato OC
Chapter one. She's home
An, hello welcome to part two, please note this has not been edited in any way. Last time I had my partner do it but he no longer wants to. Also, my editor had a lot of shit happen in her life, she is still doing part 1 and will get around to part 2 eventually.
If the spelling and grammar bother you that much then please, please don't read. I have tried my best.
Those that have followed me over are aware I am partially sighted and I do struggle with the spelling a lot.
Also, if you haven't read part one please do so, It will not make any sense if you continue without reading it.
And enjoy. Let me know what you think?
Three years has passed.
Minato looked down at the paper in front of him, just the thought of signing it made him sick. It had been three years since Rachel had left the village and he would do anything to get her back, but this was not what he wanted. Signing this arrest warrant may bring her back but at what cost?
He shook his head the pen was in his had all he had to do was sign it. His hand trembled, why couldn't he sign it? It was what was needed to bring her back.
Still the images of her been hurt or pinned down haunted him, he knew her past and knew been in that situation would scare her.
But he really didn't have any choice she had unwilling put Konoha in danger, she had vital information on what would happen, if she fell in to the wrong hands, he dreaded to think what would happen. With a defeated sigh he sighed it, his hart heavy in his chest.
He handed it over to a waiting Anbu who promptly took it and puffed away.
Minato slammed his hands down on his desk and stood, he looked out to the window at his beloved village.
"How can you not realise how much danger you are in." he said to himself. His fear for her safety was growing. He was still connected to her via the seal he had placed on her to let him know when she hurt herself.
He was aware when she hurt herself and it sadden him that he could not flash to her and help her. He was also aware of when she got in to battels, thankfully there had not been many of those and from what he could tell she had not been seriously hurt.
He closed his eyes and thought back on the morning after she had disappeared.
Flash back.
Minato arrived at his office and find Hiashi already there. Minato did not say a word and he would not until he was ready, this he knew would un-nerve the man.
Hiashi stood still none the less he only sigh of irritation was a twitch of his eye brow.
Minato made him wait a bit longer, he sorted out the paper in his office before he looked up at the man.
"Explain why you helped her!" he demanded.
"I was repaying a debit she saved my daughter."
Minato nodded. He could understand that.
"She's under my protection she is banned from leaving the village. She has information that not only endangers her life but the village's as well."
"You are not very forth coming with that girl, Lord Hokage. I did not know she was under your protection, all I did way pay off a debit, however I would have reconsidered if I have had that information to begin with."
He had a point Minato knew he hasn't kept his shinobi informed about her.
"What did you do to my seal?"
"I disabled her chakra pathways to it."
"So, it's completely dead then?"
Hiashi nodded.
"I cannot allow your actions to go unpunished you are under house arrest until I come up with something more appropriate."
Hiashi nodded as two Anbu appeared beside him.
"I accept all punishment. There is one thing though."
Minato nodded for him to speak
"Her chakra is different."
"Different how?"
"It's difficult to explain it's like there are two different chakra's both clashing with one another."
Minato thought. She had taken over Chi's body so perhaps it was Chi's chakra and her own, it would explain why it was so strong.
"Thank you for the information, but don't think this will get you off lightly." He nodded and was escorted out by the Anbu.
End Flash back.
In the end he sealed away Hiashi Byokugon for a total of three months, the man was not happy but he accepted it none the less.
Rachel's letters had started arriving three weeks after she had left but he began to notice thanks' to Sakumo translating the code at the bottom of each letter that some were missing and not making it to the village. He had no doubt that Danzo was behind it.
He released her summons the first week she was gone his worry for her to grate.
His sensei had made it, but it took him a full year to recover from what had happened. Minato had to restrict him from leaving the village he was not up for finding Rachel, the toad sage had become Naruto babysitter. Witch Minato was grateful for.
As for Naruto Minato noticed his son distance himself from him, he didn't know if it was because of Rachel leaving or not, every way it saddened him to think his son hated him in some way, hell maybe he even blamed him for her leaving. Why not he blamed himself.
There was tension between the hidden cloud, not just because of the incident involving Hinata and his son all those years ago, but because they believe Konoha is hiding sometime from them, and in truth he was, he was hiding Rachel.
They had invaded the village twice more since then, and each time he did as before wiped their memory's and sent them back. Again, he suspected Danzo was weaving a web of lies to suit his own needs.
He rubbed the bridge of his nose he was tired, he was plagued with nightmares of Rachel been raped, though he knew that had not happened the seal connecting him told him so. But it was his greatest fear.
He had no idea if she would fight or freeze up. Ever way he didn't think he could stand knowing that was happing not be able to do something.
He clenches his fist in anger "Please Kakashi fined her."
His student was out looking for her unofficially of cause. The first month in and he had to drag Kakashi back because he was so exhausted, once rested he would leave straight away.
Minato had his hopes up and he knew he should not, but there had been a lead on her it was not a sold one but he had to hope.
He had to admit she knew how to disappear, he had thought about releasing Sakumo to bring her back, but the man was loyal to her now and not the village. He had told Kakashi to bring her back even if she does not want to. He trusted Kakashi judgement on using force.
As he gazed out upon his beloved village all he could do is wait for her safe return he just hoped she would not hate him for it.
"Pup?"
"Yes Jex."
"Can you explain why I'm currently been used as a horse?"
Rachel giggled. "Because the two-year-old likes it."
Jex swished his tall in annoyance, as the young girl tugged on his fur. He grunted as he continued to walk around the small garden. He towered over the fence if the child fell, she would sustain injury. Rachel had complete faith in him.
Rachel sat and platted the hair of a five-year-old girl.
Both of them took after their mother. A plump woman with a kind hart.
"There all done Aika, don't go messing it back up."
"Thank you, Hana." The girl ran off to play and Rachel smiled at her.
She had changed her name for obvious reasons, she didn't want to be found.
There first two years were pure hell, she couldn't stay in one place two long, she was on the streets, begging for money.
Jex stayed by her side, when she went in to a town he would wait on the outskirts.
She sent letters just as before she used her wolf summons to send them though she didn't expect them to die, she had lost three wolves, she had felt so guilty about it. Jex had summon the wolf leader Tora, he held no grudge against her which made her feel worse, she deserves his anger she had made a poor judgement, in sending the young wolfs.
Jex and Tora howled at the full moon for the loss of their pack members.
After that she had begun to see wanted posters everywhere, not only that but last week she saw that there was an arrest warrant out for her as well.
She could not believe the lengths he would go to bring her back to the village.
It made her angry, angry because he said he cared for her if he did he should just let her go.
She had thought she had seen him in the town's tea shop, she saw a mop of blond hair enter the shop, it took her a moment to realise it was not him his eyes were the wrong colure. But still it had sent her hart racing.
She turned when she heard the door open, and saw the plump woman herself.
"Oh, let me help with those."
"Thank you, Hana, dear." She took some of the bags from the woman and placed them on the kitchen counter.
"Your home early is something wrong?" Rachel asked.
"There was a man asking after you to day."
"What? What did you tell him?"
"That I have never seen you before in my life. Dear just who is this man you are running from? Is he and ex-lover?"
"Something like that." Rachel head was racing. "I can't stay but thank you for letting sit for your kids."
"It's me who should be thanking you." The woman hugged her, "I do wish you hadn't cut your hair." She said. Rachel pulled back and ran her hands through the now medium brown hair. She dye it every few month with a temporary dye. It wasn't as long now, it went to just below her shoulders.
"Well I had better be going, if I don't turn up in morning I've left, sorry to leave you in the lurch like that."
"Oh, its fine now go."
"Jex come, we have to go."
The wolf carefully deposited the young child before walking up to his master.
She left the woman to her two children and headed straight for the edge of the village.
"What is wrong pup?" he nuzzled her with his wet nose.
"Someone was asking about me, we should leave now. Jex grunted.
They entered the woods, it was quiet, it was too quiet.
"Jex?"
"I don't smell anyone but that doesn't mean there is no one there" he said growling lowly. "Be ready pup."
Rachel pulled out her staff from under her brown cloak. Jex walked beside her protectively. They carried on walking, every sound caused her to jump. Fear gripped her, the thought of going back to the village filled her with dread. Back to him and those caring azure blue eyes. She could see them now staring loving at her when she didn't deserve his love.
All of a sudden, they were surrounded by dogs, she didn't have no time to react as she was grabbed from behind and something was plastered on her right wrist, Jex disappeared in a puff of smoke, she lashed out with her staff and he let go of her, she was surrounded by the dogs, she turned to confront the man, and found it to be non-other than Kakashi. She tightened her hold around her staff.
"Yo." Was his greeting he stood lazily slouched posture, "Long time no see huh?" He sounded so dam casual like she had just bumped in to him on the street.
"I'm not going back."
He cooked his head to the side he wore his Anbu attire but without the dog mask. "You don't have a choice." He said.
She glared at him.
"I wasn't sure it was you at first but you were the only one in the tea shop to react to blond hair." He said.
Her sea-green eyes widened. "That was you?"
He nodded, she grits her teeth, "You been tailing me" it wasn't a question.
"Yes, I didn't want to take you whilst there were children around, so I waited. Plus, it gave me chance to find some info on you, it seems you go by the name Hana now."
"I'm not going back." she said again and she meant it. she glanced down at her right wrist to see a paper seal over it.
"It won't come off unless ever I or Minato remove it, your summons posed a problem for me to take you back." he said calmly.
Kakashi knew her and new her weakness, if she wanted to escape she would have to play dirty.
"Do you need a pack of dogs to help capture me?" she asked.
"No, not especially, but they will keep you from running." He said.
"How's Sakumo?" she asked, she wanted him angered or at least distracted she would play dirty if she had too.
"He's fine doesn't approve of me reading porn, but other than that" he shrugged.
Rachel twirled her staff, it wasn't working or at least he wasn't showing any signs that it was working.
"If you're attempting to get me angry or distracted it won't work," he said "I have my orders to place you under arrest and bring you back to Konoha."
"I'm not going back." she said again for the third time.
"So, you keep saying," he said, "I take it if I say come quietly you won't listen?"
"Heh you know me so well."
"Ok, then, Rachel Lockhart I'm placing you under arrest for crimes against Konoha. If you attempt to resist arrest I have been authorised to use force, though I don't want to."
So, he still felt guilty about pinning her to a wall despite it been three years ago now, maybe she can use that.
"Then use force I won't go back." she shouted, she charged him he dodged effortlessly, every attack he simply moved out of the way, he noted she held determination behind her sea-green eyes, but he had his orders.
She managed to just catch him on his left shoulder, he steeps back she panted heavily "You have improved since last we trained to gather, I'm impressed" he said, "But you can't keep at that pace and speed, just admit defeat and come quietly."
"No, no I won't go back Kakashi I won't go back to him."
"You, need to understand he's doing this to protect you."
"No, he wants to control me to be his little pet."
"You don't really believe that your eyes say so."
"I-I can't go back, why can't he just let me go?"
"You know why, he cares for you far too deeply to just let you walk away."
"Kakashi do you consider me a friend?"
He was silent for a moment. "Yes."
"In the beginning you didn't trust me you saw me as a threat a risk to Minato and Naruto, do you still see me that way?"
The wind blow ruffing their hair, "No, I see you as helping Minato and Konoha, you have already given us a better future."
A look of anger crossed her face, "To what end? I nearly got Jiraiya killed, I didn't save your team mates. I didn't save Naruto's mother."
"No, you didn't." he said sorrow was edged in to his vice. "But you did give Naruto a father, and you saved mine." His lone eye searched her own, she bit her lip, Kakashi would take her back to him, and those azure caring eyes of his.
"Kakashi let me walk away please." She pleaded with him.
"You know I can't do that."
"I thought so, then I'll give it my all. I won't go back."
She charged him again, this time he saw her strikes were more precise. He dodged, sending a kick to her staff it flays out of her hands and landed behind his pack.
She pulled a knife out and instead of pointing at him like he thought she would she amid it at herself across her wrist.
"Stay way." She said she slid the colour band off and pressed the blade a little deeper. He knew Minato would feel it if she cut. He had to be careful.
"Rachel put down the knife." He said. He saw the panic in her eyes, was she truly that afraid to see Minato? Or was she afraid of her own feeling for him? Ever way she was scared and cornered, one wrong move and she could hurt herself.
"I won't go back Kakashi." She said, voice shaky. He needed a distraction, he looked to his dogs they understand what it was he wanted, they begun to circle her and growling lowly, it was enough for her to take her eyes off him for a split second he shot forward pulling the knife away from her wrist and simultaneously plunging a needle in to her neck, it was the same type he used on her before during her integration with Minato. She would not wake until he removed it.
He caught her before she hit the floor the knife clattered to the ground. He adjusted his hold dismissed his pack and leaped in to the trees it was a good two days travel back to the village.
Minato waited for Kakashi return everything was all set up, he knew Rachel would mostly likely freak out about her new cell, but he honestly didn't know what to do with her.
He knew she would be unhappy at been brought back, and he also knew she would not want to stay, so that left him with the option of imprison her.
The cell was padded out, she could do no harm to herself whilst in there the problem was it would seem like she was back in a mental hospital, that alone would trigger and episode.
He had Tsunade and Inoichi on stand buy ready, truth be told he didn't want to see her, at least not yet.
He was the reason she had ran, and he didn't want to cause her more panic.
The copy Nin puffed in the room, he was relieved to see no Rachel. "She in the cell, sensei under Tsunade and Inoichi's care." Minato nodded he couldn't form the words to ask how she was, Kakashi answered anyway.
"She's different, sensei she's changed her appearance. I'm no medick but she appears to have lost weight to, she was quite adamant of not returning, to the point where she pointed a blade at herself."
Minato nodded it was all he could do but relief flooded him she back home, were he could protect her.
