In this story Rin is alive. She's living with Kakashi and she works at the hospital and sometimes on missions. This story is placed somewhere after Tsunade became the Godaime Hokage and Sasuke never left the Leaf.
I like Rin and I thought that if she hadn't died, there might have been something between her and Kakashi.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto...
Kakashi and his team were just giving a report to the Hokage of their latest assignment when a ninja with a senpon stick in his mouth appeared to the Hokage's office.
" Tsunade-sama, Ayashi Rin has been reported missing." Genma said and Kakashi's mind started to race wildly. He had just gotten home from a mission and hadn't seen Rin for over a week.
" When?" Tsunade asked glancing at Kakashi for a moment. Though there was no emotion on Kakashi's face, Tsunade knew that he was worried.
" This morning she didn't appear at the hospital and her friend went to see her apartment and it was empty. She said that there had probably been a fight-" Genma continued his report but Kakashi suddenly disappeared in to a cloud of smoke.
When Kakashi appeared in the apartment that he and Rin shared, first he noticed a slight wind, all of the windows were smashed and the shards were on the floor. Kakashi saw some blood among the shards.
' Rin must've been making breakfast…' Kakashi thought when he saw the table which was full of broken dishes and food was all over the wooden table.
The whole living room was mess with broken furniture and destroyed bookshelves.
Kakashi summoned Pakkun and the little dog appeared with a rather grumpy face.
" Thank you for waking me up." The little dog said but then he saw Kakashi's face and went silent.
" What's happened?"
" They took Rin." Kakashi said as he kneeled down and looked at something. It was an earring, violet crystal shaped as a tear.
" Hatake?" Tsunade's voice echoed from the hall and she walked in with team seven behind her.
" Here, Hokage-sama." Pakkun informed on top of a broken table lamp, which lay on the floor beside the bed.
" What a mess…" Tsunade muttered as she saw the living room and part of the kitchen. She looked at Kakashi, who rose from the floor and looked around him.
" Tsunade-sama, can you assign someone to supervise my team?" Kakashi asked not looking at the woman. His gaze swept trough the room and landed on one undamaged shelf.
" What do you mean?" Tsunade's voice was sharp.
" Kakashi-sensei, what are you talking about?" Naruto asked as he tried to avoid class and wood splinters on the floor.
" I will go after him and bring Rin back." Kakashi said and now looked at the Hokage.
" Who are you going after? Kakashi, I don't quite follow… You know something that I don't?" Tsunade frowned.
" Are you baka, or just incapable to think?" Kakashi asked raising his one visible brow.
" Sensei!" Sakura gasped as she heard Kakashi's words.
" Who do you think took her and for what purpose? She is a healer, almost as good as you, Tsunade-sama. The best of the jounin-level medics. Who do you think needs a healer that powerful? Who's offer did you just recently decline?" Kakashi asked with sarcasm.
Tsunade's eyes widened as she realized.
" Orochimaru…"
" Snake no baka?" Naruto asked frowning.
Sasuke's eyes hardened as he heard the Sannin's name. He still remembered the mark on his shoulder, luckily Kakashi-sensei's seal had succeeded.
" But Kakashi you have no chance of winning him, he is too strong. If Rin heals his arms…" Tsunade started but was cut off.
" She won't. Even if Orochimaru offers to revive sensei and Obito, she won't do it. Rin saw the First and the Second after Orochimaru revived them, she knows they were not for real. She is not going to do it, Rin is a Leaf shinobi." Kakashi said and started to gather kunais and shuurikens from his pouch to a table. He walked trough the room collecting several items.
Tsunade tried to stop him, talk reason into him but Kakashi just pushed her aside.
" Kakashi you are not going to take that, are you?" Pakkun asked as Kakashi got to a shelf that had a wooden box with black ropes tied around it.
Kakashi looked at the box for a while and took it down.
" Is that the…?" Tsunade asked as Kakashi opened the box and took out a beautiful carved sword.
" Yes." Kakashi said as he tried the blade with his finger, it was sharp as if it had been sharpened only yesterday, but the last time it had been in use… Kakashi didn't want to remember.
" No, Kakashi you must not use it." Pakkun almost pleaded.
" What is that?" Naruto asked. Sakura and Sasuke didn't know either.
" That is the sword of the Hatake clan. Last user of the sword was Kakashi's father, the White Fang of Konoha, Hatake Sakumo. Sword as legendary as it's user. But the sword will, sooner or later claim it's user's life…" Said a low voice from the door and Iruka stepped in to the room.
" Iruka-sensei!"
" Konnichiwa Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura. Hokage-sama, Kakashi-san. I heard about Rin-san." Iruka said and bowed a little to the Hokage.
" Kakashi…" Pakkun started to walk towards Kakashi who was still looking at the blade.
" I'm not going to use it, Pakkun." Kakashi finally said as he placed the sword back to the box and put the box back to the shelf. He took one very beautiful kunai from the same shelf. The kunai had inscription and a red ribbon on it's handle.
" This will be of use." Kakashi said and laid the kunai to a table next to the other weapons.
" What is that?" Naruto asked.
" A special kunai I got from my sensei when I became a jounin." Kakashi said plainly.
" Who was your sensei? And when did you become jounin?" Naruto asked. This was getting exiting, already so much had been told to them about Kakashi-sensei, maybe they would see his face too.
" My sensei was the Fourth Hokage as was Rin's," Kakashi said and took a few scrolls and put them in to the same table as the kunai, ignoring Naruto's astonished yell, " and I became a jounin approximately ten years ago."
Everyone could hear the clicking sound in Naruto's head as he counted.
" You became a jounin at sixteen?" Sakura asked when Naruto's mind didn't make the answer fast enough.
" Make it thirteen, then you're closer." Iruka smiled as the genins' jaws dropped.
" Would you mind Hokage-sama, making this an S-class mission?" Kakashi asked as he took off his jounin vest and placed it on a chair.
Tsunade didn't answer and Kakashi disappeared in to his bedroom.
" How can Kakashi go on an S-class mission? He is a jounin, S-class requires an Anbu!" Sakura asked as she turned to Iruka.
Pakkun muttered something about baka genins who didn't realize things right under their noses.
" Just wait and see, apparently he hasn't told you about his past…" Iruka replied smiling slightly.
" He doesn't tell us anything!" Naruto yelled in frustration.
Five minutes later the door opened and Kakashi came out.
He had black pants, black ninja sandals with black laces that ended below his knees. Blue shirt had changed into a black sleeveless undershirt and on top of the shirt was a white armour-kind shirt.He had long, black cloves, which reached over his elbows, white arm protectors, lower part of his face was still covered. His forehead protector wasn't anywhere around leaving his Sharingan revealed. He had a bone white Anbu mask hanging on the side of his face. Two swords were placed on his back and three pouches were tied to his belt. A red swirling Anbu tattoo was exposed to everyone on his left shoulder.
" Sensei…" Sakura whispered.
Sasuke openly stared at Kakashi in disbelief and Naruto's jaw was far on the other side of the room.
Kakashi tucked the weapons and the scrolls in to the pouches. And gave Pakkun the earring to smell Rin's scent that they would be able to star their search.
" Kakashi, just don't get yourself killed. And bring her safely home." Tsunade smiled a bit and Kakashi nodded, before pulling the mask on.
" Kakashi-sensei…" Sakura's voice started.
" Yes, Sakura?" Kakashi's voice sounded follow and the elder ninjas knew it wasn't because of the mask. The human part of Kakashi partly vanished after he pulled the wolf mask on. Now he was a killer, a hunter and he had a job to do.
" Good luck." The pink haired genin didn't know what else to say.
Kakashi only nodded and then turned to Pakkun.
" Let's go."
Kakashi leapt out of a window, jumping to the next building's roof and disappeared following the dog.
