Full summary: "The Hokage picked Kakashi for the mission because he was the most skilled. The Jonin didn't realize that the mission was to tame a seven year old Neko girl named Kira Koneko, who's been renowned as the famous Kaze Koneko. Will the two bond, or will their rivaled skills pit them against each other? Hows THAT for a cliche tag line?"

Rated T for violence...and...yep, that's it.

PART 1

Kira never thought of herself as special. Her mother always told her she was special, but she just assumed it was because of her ears and tail. While the rest of the children, she didn't pay them much mind. She was used to the constant teasing of others, save for her mother and all the other adults that smiled at her beauty. For some reason, they spoke to Kira differently; they looked at her with a different light in their eyes, as if they knew a secret she hadn't found out yet.

In class she surpassed ever single test they gave her. Her agility amazed them. She was only six, yet she had mastered the ability to walk on walls and ceilings more so than some students five years ahead of her. This ability, however, was not taught to her. It was instinct. The Neko Clan wasn't much of a clan, but a breed of cat females. These cat women were enabled with these abilities from the start: perfect flexibility, quick reflexes, astounding speed, excellent hearing, night vision, and the most feared weapon of all: fangs. It was true that, although a dying breed, the Neko Clan was truly remarkable. However, it was impossible that a member of this clan could posses ninjutsu or genjutsu abilities. It was unheard of for any cat girl to perform anything but tai-jutsu…Except, for a one.

She astounded teachers after school when a group of students gathered around her to pick a fight. They pushed her up against the wall, pulling her tail, grabbing her ears that she flattened in fear. Just as the teachers were about to step in, the students were completely thrown backwards by an invisible force. They scattered in different directions like leaves, skidding on the dirt ground until they were stopped by colliding with a building or another student. The teachers looked around, wondering where this powerful force came from. An enemy Shinobi? The Wind leader? But when the torpedo wind implosion reduced into a pleasant zephyr, their eyes wandered towards the little cat girl, her huge bat ears back in anger, a look of utter annoyance on her face. She took her bristled tail in her hands and shouted angrily, her small fangs bared, "Don't pull my tail, stupid-heads!"

From then on, they understood. This was no ordinary Neko Clan member. This was the special breed. The breed that was thought to be extinct for over three hundred years. The Kaze Koneko. The Wind Kitten.

"Thank you for seeing us, Lord Hokage," the Kazekage said, easing himself on the seat provided.

"Always nice to see an ally," the Hokage smiled, reaching for a cup of tea, "What brings you on this pleasant day? I was told it was important."

"It is," the Kazekage nodded, leaning forward and lowering his voice, "We have found a Kaze Koneko."

The Hokage shot up from his cup, his eyes fixed on the man who had brought him this shocking news.

"You cannot be serious," he said quietly, shaking his head slightly in amazement, "The breed died out years ago."

"That's what we thought," the Kazekage said, feeling a slight smile tug at his mouth in excitement, "But recently the school has reported that they have discovered one of their Neko-Clan students was using wind jutsu. I didn't believe it either, but there was no denying what they saw. It's true." The Hokage put his cup down, not taking a drink from it. He stared at nowhere in particular, rubbing his chin with a hand. Was it really true? After all these years?

"So, all is not lost," he smiled softly, "I remember when the breed was it it's peak. They worshiped the breed. It was a god. This breed was usually found once every hundred years. They protected the village, because as strong as the Neko Clan is with tai-jutsu, they needed the Kaze Koneko to protect them with her powers. Suna soldiers would tell stories of their beauty. And then…," his smile faded slightly, hiding behind his poised hands as he muttered the words, "He came…slaughtering more than half of the city." The Kazekage shook his head. This was obviously before his time, but to be reminded of a pain that shook the foundations of an entire clan, it devastated him to know that there was such a thing possible.

"But a few escaped," the Hokage continued, his voice rising in hope, "And rebuilt their clan in the nearby city Uindo. They really are an astounding breed." He raised his eyes toward the Wind leader, his faithful smile back, "And now, we have found even more hope."

"The reason I came was," the Kazekage paused, "We need a teacher from your village. I know that Konoha has some of the best elite Shinobi out there, and we would really appreciate it if one of them would train her."

"Absolutely," the Hokage nodded, "I insist. A prodigy like that should have the best of training. Why hesitate to ask?" The Kazekage let out a small sigh.

"Well, it's well known that the Neko clan members are not prone to trusting everyone they meet, especially men. We need a teacher who's skilled and patient, for if they can't gain a trusting relationship with the student, there's no hope in them teaching her anything at all."

The Hokage nodded, reducing himself to rubbing his chin in thought. Who would be good for the job? A strong but gentle hand was needed here, to teach a powerful but delicate student. This student was special; she needed one of the best.

"I have a teacher who would be perfect," the Hokage smiled suddenly, bringing his cup of tea to his lips, "I'll send him over right after he completes his mission. I presume this would be an S ranked mission, so this will be perfect for him. Who knows? Maybe they'll become the best of friends by the time they're through."

The Kazekage smiled, picking up his tea as well.

"For the sake of the village," he smiled, taking a sip of the sweet drink.

"Let me tell you a little about this student," the Hokage said, getting up to walk around the room a bit, "She's a rare breed. The Kaze Konekos are very powerful, let alone the entire clan. She's not like the other students you've encountered. She's even excelled in skills not taught to Shinobi students yet. So, I want you, Kakashi Hatake," he turned to the aloof Shinobi. He had leaned himself against the wall opposite the Hokage, letting every word he had said sink in. He looked at the old man from under his mask, waiting for his next words.

"I'm asking you," the Hokage continued, turning and walking over to Kakashi, his voice more serious now, "To take on this mission. I trust you to know that this is a serious S ranked mission. You could be dealing with the next leader of the Wind village." Kakashi did not speak, but merely nodded.

"Here's the information you need to know about her," the Hokage handed him a clipboard. Charts and sheets were attached to it, including a picture. Kakashi unclipped the picture and looked at it. The cat girl's dark brown hair did not match her ears at all, which had a creamy color to them. They were pointed at the top with black, as if someone had dipped them in ink. Her eyes were big and crimson, outlined by a natural dark line, making them more cat-like. He studied the picture.

"She's cute, isn't she?" the Hokage smiled, "The Neko Clan members are known for their beauty, using seduction as their "signature" attack, if you will. For now, though, she can only perform skilled tai-Jitsu with expert agility. But when you get to be a little more familiar with her, you can start working on her ninjutsu and genjitsu. Keep in mind that cat girls do not take trust easily, especially to men, so I'm counting on you to work on your relationship first, and then you can work steadily on her ninjutsu." The Hokage, satisfied with his lecture, turned to Kakashi. Kakashi was still focused on the picture, although he had heard every word. He lifted his serene eyes to meet the Hokage's own.

"Her eyes are crossed," Kakashi said, looking at the picture.

"Really? Let me see," the Hokage looked at the picture.

"Ah, well, they told me she was spirited." the Hokage laughed, "Their breed is a very energetic one, especially the young ones, or kittens, as they call them, so I guess you'll have your work cut out for you, huh?" Kakashi studied the picture again. He sighed. She can't be more then seven. Kakashi thought. I can handle her, nothing to worry about. The only thing I need to worry about is if she can keep up with me.

"I'll put my full strength into this mission," Kakashi said, tucking the photo back onto the clipboard, "You have my word." The Hokage nodded, smiling in a knowing way.

"All in good time," he smiled.
