Preface

Wolf and Dog trudged back toward Konoha, both wounded and tired. "Geez Kakashi you need to be more careful" the girl said. "Akane you talk to much" he said with a grin. "Yeah yeah I know" she said smiling at her teammate. "We're almost there, I can see the gates" she urged as she shifted his weight on her tired legs. She stumbled slightly as they walked through the gates. "Whoa, don't fall" Kakashi said trying to shift his weight so she wouldn't end up on the ground. "I'm fine" she gasped quietly. "the sleepless night are taking a toll on her" Kakashi said worriedly. "Lets get you to the hospital, so they can look at your leg" Akane stated. "I'm fine, but we should get you there before you pass out" he countered. She rolled her eyes and lead him to the hospital.

Kakashi walked out of the exam room and found Akane fast asleep on a chair near the exam room door. He smiled as he walked over to her. "Huh? What's going' on" she said sleepily as Kakashi gently shook her awake. "Time to go" he said with his hidden smile, that made her heart race. She nodded and pushed herself out of the chair. They walked in silence down the road to her house. "You look like you could sleep for ages" he joked in an attempt the lighten the silence that engulfed them. "I just might do that" she said while shifting her ANBU mask under her arm. "hey Kakashi?" Akane asked suddenly. "Yeah?" he asked looking down at her. "Have you ever wanted to be something other then an ANBU?" she questioned. They both stopped walking. She looked up. Icy blue met black. They stood there for a while, Akane looking up and Kakashi and he never taking his eye away from hers. "Not really" he said finally breaking the spell around them. He absent mindedly moved a strand of hair from her face. She nodded absorbing this fact as she started walking. He followed quietly, watching the moonlight shining off her long white hair. "Hey Kakashi" she said again. "Yeah?" "Isn't your house the other way?" she asked looking back at him. "Yea but I wanted to walk you home" he said. She smiled. They walked in silence toward her house. When they reached her house they noticed that the door way hanging off the hinges. Both their bodies tensed.

She walked forward. "Wait" Kakashi Hissed. "What" she asked quickly, fear and worry seeping into her mind. "I'm coming with you" he said. He followed Akane into her house. The both checked the house and were now outside her parent's bed room. "I don't sense any chakra!" Akane exclaimed in worry and relief. Kakashi felt a sense of dread fill him as Akane pushed the door open. A strangled cry escaped Akane's lips from what she saw in front of her. Both her parents were lying on the floor dead. Kakashi's arms wrapped around her to prevent her from entering the room. "Damn Kakashi let me go!" she shrieked. "No, the killer might still be here!" he snapped. She tried to wiggle out of his arms. His grip tightened. She stopped squirming when she realized it was futile. Kakashi didn't let go, in fear of the fact that the killer might be around. He suddenly felt shaking. To his surprise the young ANBU had started to cry. When she had finally stopped crying she had fallen asleep. Kakashi laid her down on the couch. This would be the last time in many years that they would see each other.
