Kakashi's Ghost

Chapter 1

The sound of the waves crashing along the shore was the only thing the young girl could hear at the moment. She lay there, sprawled out, half in the sand and half in the seawater. The sounds of seagulls filled the air and with every splash of water that soaked up the sand there came a mournful sound out of the girl's lips.

She had floated through the ocean for days, she was looking for something, and she was about to find it…

-----------------------------------------------

It was a sunny day and there wasn't a cloud in the sky.

Kakashi and team 7, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura were all out enjoying themselves at the beach on such a fine day. It wasn't all the time that they could take a break off from missions and go play at the ocean so they were trying to make the best of it. Matter of fact, this was only one of the few times they had ever visited the ocean.

"Haha! I got it!" Naruto let out a small grunt as he flew through the air and dove onto the Frisbee, actually, he dove over the Frisbee and it landed on him. He moaned as he spit out gritty sand from his mouth after his fall, and it didn't help when Sakura laughed at his sandy face.

"Naruto, you couldn't catch the Frisbee if it was floating in front of you!" she laughed and then turned to look at Sasuke with her hands on her cheeks. "But I know you could, Sasuke." She blushed but as she did so Naruto walked by and spat out some sand between them, ruining Sakura's perfect moment. "RAH! NARUTO!" she roared and with one large kick threw Naruto across the sand and into the water.

Kakashi was walking along the sand with his head in a book, reading 'Make Out Paradise' the novel that he had made the entire team wait for before they could get going on their beach vacation. "Having fun are we?" he asked Naruto who was crawling out of the water with his clothes looking wet and soppy. "If you were that desperate to get to the ocean, Naruto, I would have taken you sooner." He said sarcastically and continued reading.

Naruto shot him a dirty look and took off his wet jacket and shirt and laid it out on a log to dry.

He turned to Sakura who had retrieved the Frisbee again, "Hey Sakura chan, throw it to me! I'll catch it this time!" He bellowed and waved his hands in the air, ready to catch the flying disc.

"Alright, don't miss this time!" she called back and the Frisbee went spinning into the air and flew quickly towards Naruto's outstretched hands.

The Frisbee went flying over Naruto and the wind blew it behind a corner in the mountainside cliff where there were a few trees looming over the sand and the water.

"Not this time!" Naruto growled to himself and, kicking some sand into the air, dashed after the flying Frisbee and turned the corner.

"Ah, finally hes gone." Sakura said to Sasuke. "So how about we do something together, Sasuke kun!" She asked in the sweetest tone of voice possible for her, but Sasuke turned away and began trudging along the sand with his hands in his pockets, leaving Sakura alone in the dark.

"CHA, WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS?" Inner Sakura shrieked in furry as she watched Sasuke get farther and farther off into the distance.

-----------------------------------------------

"There's a boy here…"

"What boy?"

"Is it him…?"

"No."

Naruto ran up to the heap lying in the water and fell to his knees to get a better look at he figure.

It was a girl, she looked around his age and she had long blond hair that looked (If it hadn't have been so wet) like it would have been very wavy, like waves on a rough sea. The girl was very pale and muddy and her gray eyes were open but she showed now sign of noticing Naruto by her side.

"Hey! Are you alright?" He asked the girl in a worried tone, but he didn't want to move her just yet incase she was hurt. "Don't worry!" He told her, just in case she could hear him. "I'll go get help right away!" and with that he got up and ran as fast as he could to Kakashi sensei.

"Who was it?"

"I think he was a ninja…"

"That's good, but from what village, the Leaf?"

"I don't know."

"Damn, what do you know?"

-----------------------------------------

"Kakashi sensei, Kakashi sensei!"

Kakashi heard Naruto calling him and looked up, the tone in his voice sounded as if something was wrong. He put his book in his side pouch and waited till Naruto caught up to him.

"What is it, Naruto?" he asked, now quite sure there was something wrong by the way that Naruto was looking at him.

"Kakashi sensei! There's a girl, just lying there! I think she might be hurt!" Naruto reported and pointed towards the side of the cliff. "Quickly! Follow me!" and Naruto ran back through the sand with Kakashi at his heels.

Naruto arrived alittle before Kakashi did at the place were he had seen the girl lying there and he found she was sitting up. The whole side of her face was covered in slimy mud, and her hair dangled down passed her shoulders. She was sitting with her legs pushed to one side and her arms were out to support her.

Naruto was relieved to see that she was alive and ran to her side. She looked up at him with gray, cold eyes that sent shivers down Naruto's spine. Her eyes reminded him of a cold rainy day where gray clouds showed no sky.

"Oh good, you are alive! I was beginning to think you were dead!" Naruto blurted out in relief but the girl just stared at him, like he was a fascinating new species. "H-Hello?" his voice quivered a bit, her stare was making him nervous.

Kakashi rounded the corner and stopped in his tracks as he set eyes on the wet, muddy girl.

Naruto turned to Kakashi. "Quickly! I think she might be deaf or mentally unbalanced or something!" He told his teacher, but nothing happened.

Kakashi and the girl only sat there looking at each other. Nobody said anything.

The wind was beginning to pick up and gray clouds were forming over head, the ocean was getting restless and the waves crashed against the sand harder then ever.

"I've found him…"
