Okay so I thought I'd redo this story cause I got no clue about what I was gonna do, but I finally got my mind straight to what I wanna do. I think, I might redo TTWCT too. Hika, you better be happy, it's all your fault. :(
Ugh, and to make it worse... I don't even have Microsoft Word or Word Processor anymore since my brother deleted that off his laptop too D:
So, if you see spelling errors and what not... Don't sue me. I tried my best to find them all... (Read it enought time to recite it!)
Thought I'd let you know how I do things around here:
"Speech"
'Thought'

Passion:
Chapter One - Meet and Greet
__
Satomi's POV:
Beep, beep, beep, my alarm pops.
I groan in dissatisfaction from my lack of sleep.
Beep, beep, beep, beep, the alarm clock's beep radily speed up.
Bang!! I throw the clock towards the wall where it fell to its doom.
I sigh, 'That's the twenty-fifth clock this month.'
I slide out of bed and crawl in to shower to get ready for my last academy day.
'Oh yeah!! Today we're being assigned teams today. Better make sure he's not late..."
__
Hoshi POV:
Knock, knock.
"Five minutes," I grumble.
"Hoshi-san, please wake up," Sebastian opens the door.
Crash.
"My, my, today's your clock. Don't tell me Satomi rubbed off on you," he teases as I hear him pick up the smashed clock off the floor.
"Hn."
"Get up."
"Fine."
'Today's the day, huh. Wonder where we'll be after this.'
__
Satomi POV:
Knock, knock.
I wait for someone to open to the door but no one answered.
Knock, knock, knock.
Still no answer.
"Oi, Kakashi!! Open the god damned door!!"
Finally I hear the lock unlock, the door opening, and there stood the most irresponsible and lazy, yet kind-hearted shinobi with bed hair and all.
"Kakashi..."
He mumbles empty words.
"Kakashi, I made you breakfast and lunch," I hand him the bento, "So don't be late to this one... Okay?"
He nods his head as he rubs his sleepy eyes, err, eye.
I sigh as I start my way down the long stairway and to the academy, "Just don't be late!"
'Oh what I am kidding. He's never gonna be there on time.'
--
Hoshi's POV:
I squeeze through the academy door trying to make through all the fan girls. I take a glimpse around too see Naruto here.
'He made it? Guess I never got the news...'
Ignoring that fact I spot Satomi and a saved seat next to her for me. I calmly walk over to see Shikamaru blocking my path.
"Hey," he yawns.
"Ah."
"Nice outfit. It works for you," he complements.
"Ah, thanks," I mutter as I pass by him.
I sit down next to the senseless yet sensible girl I call best friend, "Morning."
"Hey, what was that about?" She asks in wonderment.
"What was what about?"
"That, with Shika."
"Oh, he complemented my out-"
"He complemented?! That's not what you hear when people talk about him, ya know. He's like the most critical person in the village!!"
"Well, he complements you."
"That's because if he doesn't I hurt him, so that's different. He chose to do it."
"I don't know and honestly I don't really care... He did what he did. Get over it."
"You get over things WAY to quickly."
"You do too Satomi, you do too."
__
Satomi's POV:
Dolphin-sensei comes into the room with a shit load of paper.
"Sorry I'm late. I had to sign some papers."
'Some? He must be working overtime for that...'
"Anyways, I got the list for your genin teams."
Everyone cheered happy to get out of the good-for-nothing school and to finally go out and have an adventure. (With a jounin watching over them of course.)
He started down the list starting with Team One.
...
"Team 7..."
'Kakashi's team!!'
"Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno..."
"Yes!!" Naruto jumps up for joy.
"No!!" Sakura moans as she plummets her head on the desk.
"And Sasuke Uchiha."
"NO!!" Naruto slams down on the desk.
"YES!!" the pink-haired girl bursts up in victory over Emo-boy and flaunts it to all his fan-girls.
"What do they see in that kid?!" Hoshi asks.
"The world may never know..." I laugh, "His brother was pretty good looking though..."
"You would be the one to say that," she smirks.
Iruka calms down the mob and continues on with the list.
...
'When will it end?!' I think. We've been stuck here for who knows how long hearing sensei's voice call out names for each team. Neither Hoshi or I have been called, 'If I'm not next... Somebody's gonna get hurt real bad...'
"Satomi, calm down. He'll call your name eventually..." Hoshi whispers.
"How'd you know I was in distress?"
"You face looked pretty pissed. I figured. You can get impatient when it comes to assigning certian things..."
"No I'm not!!"
She raises an eyebrow.
"Okay fine, maybe a little."
She coughs...
"Okay okay, a lot alright?! I'm very impatient!!"
"That's all I wanted to hear..."
Iruka-sensei calms down the room and continues on the with the list. It went on till the last few.
"Team 11..."
'If my name isn't called out right now, I'm gonna punch him...'
"Sora Satomi."
'Hah, that's me...'
"Kuro Hoshi."
We exchange glances and thumbs up.
"Tanaka Tsuchiya..."
'Eh, so they're spliting the twins?'
"And, Tanaka Takeshi."
'Of course, freakn' rich bastards.'
I look over at Hoshi.
"Meh, well they dont suck and they're not gonna bring us down or anything..." she points out.
"Yeah, I guess they're okay. Though, I'm wondering if there's another reason why we have a four-man squad."
"Probably not. They probably bribed the head schoolboard to put them together on one team. Even if it meant a four-man squad."
"Ah, your right. It does fit them too, but I mean I never really got to know them. You know, maybe as we think," I kept in mind bright thoughts.
"Ah~ We could've just been in a two-man squad. Having two girls like them would just bring us down," Tsucchi continues to fan himself. (Tsuchiya)
"Ne, I know right? I mean we could've just bribed them more money, but that would make us seem too desperate, you know?" Take laughs. (Takeshi)
"Or not..." I sweatdrop.
"Eh, it's fine. Whoever the jounin is probably is gonna do something about their attitude. Despite their money."
"Mmm, I hope you're right."

Outside the Academy
Satomi:
Hoshi and I were waiting outside for our new teacher to come.
"Yo!! We found out who it is!!" I turn to see the twins screaming and running towards our way.
"Found who?" Hoshi asks.
"Our new sensei, of course," Tsucchi pulls out a sheet of crumpled paper.
"Wow, our new teacher is paper," I snicker.
"No," Take groans as he straightens out the paper and starts to read out loud, "His name is-"
"Matsumoto Tatsuya," a jounin appears behind Take and snatches the paper out of his hand, "your new sensei."
"Don't sneak up behind me!!" Take attempts to kick his face, but fails as his ankle is caught and he dangles above the ground.
"Ah, but that doesn't mean you can hit me now does it?" he smirks.
'I like him already.'
He finally lets go and Take falls to the ground, hard.
Matsumoto-sensei grins, "Now then. I'm sure you're all so giddy to be outside of the academy hoping to be in the real world, ne?"
"Yeah!!" the twins enthusiastically shouts.
"Boo! Wrong!" he taunts, "You think it's all adventerous and exciting, but you don't see the reality. You have a chance of dying out there. No matter where you are, someone's gonna get hurt and it's gonna show up to be a BIG problem later on. So..."
"If you just stay focused and look at it another way..." Hoshi cuts him off.
"You just might survive and I'll be there proud to know that you are my students. Yeah, Yeah we've heard it all before," I laugh.
"A LOT when Kakashi when he got his students. It was in the guidebook or something like that," Hoshi shrugs.
"He said that every jounin being a teacher has to say it to the genins. No hard feelings or anything. I'm sure you meant every word," I finished the rest as we grin in victory.
He coughs off the harsh words, "Right. well I'm glad you know. I am Matsumoto Tatsuya and I am happy to have you in my team after my exam of course."
"Another exam?!" Tsucchi whines, "I don't wanna!!"
"Then, I guess you don't 'wanna' go on missions and become a chuunin or join the ANBU."
'ANBU... He looks like-'
"Penguin," I mutter in a discreet silence.
"Ah," he looked up in little shock.
"You were wearing the penguin mask in the ANBU, right?" I stare at his facial outline, "The mask had the same structure of your face."
"Yes," he admits followed by a pause, "Satomi, is that you?!"
"Yup, my brother was in the ANBU and I'm close to Hatake Kakashi. I remember seeing you at a celebration party years ago, Penguin-sensei."
"Ah, that's right, but you don't remember me about all those- wait, Penguin-sensei?" he asks. [insert sweatdrop here]
"Ah, I mean. Matsumoto is just too long. I thought Penguin would be nice to remind you of your ANBU days too," I smile.
"Ah, well, I prefer the more honorable name of Matsumoto-sensei if you don't mind," he suggests.
"I like it," Tsucchi raises his hand, "Who votes for Penguin-sensei?"
"I," everyone shoots up their hand leaving the over-ruled sensei by himself.
"Okay, then, you can call me that, but just know that this exam won't be easy. You might as well skip your breakfast, just in case," he warns.
I glance at Hoshi as she nods in agreement.
'Kakashi was right.'
Flashback...
"If you sensei says to skip breakfast or something like that just in case. Don't do it. Eat breakfast. It's to keep you unprepared and out of energy for the exam."
Flashback end...
'He really gave us good information this time.'
Penguin-sensei had finished giving us the information for tomorrow and set us off on our way to becoming as he says, 'True Shinobi'
I was just about to leave with Hoshi till Penguin-sensei stops me, "Satomi, can I talk to you for a moment in private?"
"Ah, sure," I wave bye to Hoshi as she walks home.
"Please come with me..."
__
Kakashi's POV:
'Satomi's probably on her way to the memorial now. That Matsumoto calling me up to meet with him... At least she won't be there to see this.'
__
Satomi's POV:
He leads me to the building and he goes into a dark and empty classroom, "Please close the door on your way in."
I close the door, "Penguin-sensei, where are you?"
I feel a hand pulling me towards a warm body embracing me.
"Wha-?"
"Satomi, do you remember anything else about me? Anything else at all?" he whispers.
"No."
"I don't want to be the one telling you this."
"Tell me what?!"
"Satomi... You don't remember me because when you were younger we erased your memory of everything about me."
"What? Then, why would I still remember you from the cele-"
"We kept some in and some out. Things happened that night and I was exiled from your family."
"I-I d-don't understand," I whimper.
"This may be a little weird of what I'm about to do, but just relax..." he whispers.
"Hah?" he suddenly starts to back me into a wall and presses his lips against mine. My eyes widen from shock as I try to push him off. He grabs my wrists and pins them up against me.
"Remember me..." he pants as he rests his lips onto mine, despretely waiting for my memories to flow back in.
My mind went black and I started to get some clips running through my head. I was on a swing and he was pushing me on it. Next one showed up... He was trying to get hairties out of his silver hair that I had tightly wounded in. He was with my brother laughing together...
He pulls away and brushes his hand on my face, "Do you remember anything?! Anything at all?!"
"Yeah," tears started to form in my eyes, "Just a little."
I wrap my arms around him with tears streaming down my face, "You were like a brother to me... Right?"
He chuckles as he nuzzles my head into his chest soaking up the tears, "That's right. I love you."
"Satomi," he lifts my head up.
"Yeah."
"I'm glad you remember," he kisses me again.
'You know, though now I see him like a brother, it's not as awkward as I thought it'd be.'
In a split second I hear the door open and he doesn't stop.
"You..." I knew that voice, Kakashi.
He takes Penguin-sensei as punches him letting him crash right throught the window.
"What are yo-?"
"I want to know exactly what he told you, but I have a good idea and I just want to tell you that he's crazy. I don't want you around him!" he grabs my wrist as he starts to speed walk out the room and outside.
"I don't care!! You never told me this and he has. How do you expect me to trust you?!" I rip off his hand and start to run for Penguin-sensei.
It was soon ended when Kakashi poofs in front of me, "I'm sorry. Now come with me and let me explain."
"No! I want to make sure he's alright!"
"He'll be fine. A window isn't gonna kill him or anything, he's been through much worse..."
"Let. Me. Go."
"I said come with me."
I turn back to see Penguin-sensei finally making his way up covered in glass and cuts. Kakashi grabs onto my waist and poofs in front of his apartment door.
"Look just come with me, I'm not sure what he's told you so far, but I just want to claify on what happened," he opens the door waiting for my answer.
I sigh as I look back at Penguin-sensei gesturing me to leave, "Fine."
The silent walk caused a dark aura around us making whoever nearby look at us in a almost shocked or horrified manner.
"Why are you so mad that I know about this?" I ask frustrated to be forcefully pulled.
"We can talk about it once we get inside," his eyes looking straight forward.
'Why is this such a big deal to him?'
We finally made it through the long, silent walk without killing each other. He opens the door pulling me inside as I closed it behind me. We both stood where we were not moving a step. Minutes passed with no words, no movement, just breathing. Little by little, I felt irritated that nothing was happening. It seemed as if he brought me here for nothing. I was about to just walk out and leave until Kakashi starts to walk towards me. He stop right in front of me, placing his hands on my shoulders, pulling me closer, embracing me into a warm hug.
"I'm sorry," he mutters.
I look up into his eye, "About what?"
"I was the one supposed to tell you whenever I thought you were ready to..." he sighs, "I guess I should've thought about it more. I was happy that you had been more outgoing since Satoshi's death. I forgot about it all."
"You...were gonna tell me?"
"Well, eventually. I was too worried on your reaction, but it seems as if I should've told you. Your brother told me to tell you whenever I thought you were ready."
"Well, now I know. My memories of Penguin-sensei were erased, but why?"
"Your parents had a disagreement with him. Rather bad one. They didn't want you being around him, so they had you lose your memory, but things were messed up. So occasionally, you'll find yourself in a flashback about him. It'll all come back eventually, but I'm not sure exactly when," he explains, "Though, he asked me to meet him in that room at that time and when I came in you two were like that. It got me off guard and then, well... You know..."
"I still don't get this. So, what was he to me?"
"I guess you can say he was a family friend. We were all in a mission together and we've talked since," he explains slowly rubbing my back.
Tears started to stream down my face.
'No, this should'nt be happening... That promise...'
Flashback...
I remember Satoshi had made that promise to me after my parents' death.
"I promise, you'll never be alone. I'll always be here with you..."
Yet, we were at the hospital to see him, one last time. The last thing he said was this...
"Sato, I'm sorry. Wish I could've took better care of you. Don't cry over me... I'm not worth it... No matter what, think happy thoughts, remember I love you."
I could still feel the pain that was pouring through my tiny self as I whimpered the words, "But you promised..."
Flashback End...
"Satomi..." I could hear Kakashi murmur, "Don't."
It was true what he had said earlier... Ever since Satoshi went away too, I had stayed home... Alone. I only went outside to get food. I trained inside the house. Kakashi visited everyday, seeing no progress... He took me in for months and finally got me to go back to the Academy. It took a while to get adjusted, but in the end the class lighten the mood and got me on track.
"Can I go now?" I whimper.
He lets out a deep sigh, "Think you think you can handle sleeping alone tonight?"
I shake my head, "Not really."
He smirks, "Just stay here then..."

WOOT! Haha, I know... Random ending? Yes, yes it is. Okay, but there whole reason why is cause I'm too lazy... Well, Hika-Pi hope your happy...
