Kaoru let the rain tumble down her face, it mixed with her blood and others blood, and the tears that she didn't even know she was shedding, Her eyes hurt as she reached up and rubbed her cheek, blood. She could hear someone come up to her, for once she hoped that it was someone to kill her, She fail the last task that he gave her...to protect Sasuke.

"Kaoru?"Asked a soft voice, It belonged to Amari Kaoru's fake teammate, A long story that started by one order from the Hokage...


Kaoru was coming back from her dinner with Sasuke when she ran into the Hokage coming out of his building with an airy look on his face, As a respected ANBU she bowed to him, He looked genually happy to see her "Ah Kaoru nice seeing you here I was going to wait to ask this of you but well your here so I might a well."He said smiling at Her "Well this year there has been talk of an attack on Konah when the Chunin exams are taking place and I was wondering if you could be a spy of sorts." Kaoru watched as he looked around like he was about to be attacked at any moment.

Kaoru knew that it wasn't a possibility at least 4 ANBU was around at this very moment watching the Hokage and probably had Kunai trained at her back, "Eh what do you mean by erm a spy of sorts,sir" She asked already knowing the answer but she wanted to be safer than sorry. "Oh Forgive me reading poetry at all hours at night kinda gets to you. Well you see you are the only ANBU with the skill and well the age to go undercover unnoticed and to perform well in the chunin exams. So I am asking of you to retake the Chunin exams with a new team of course."The Hokage stated watching the sky still.

Kaoru knew the choice was not really a yes or no, It was an order that she had to do so her reply was almost automatic "Yes I would be honored but can I ask who are my team mates?"She asked. "Of course your partners will be Niito Kaguya and Amari."He said while still looking up at the sky, She looked worried as she nodded, "Um...Ok thank you Hokage-Sama" She said bowing as she went to turn around the Hokage spoke again this time he sounded torn"Kaoru, I Must Also ask If anything happens to me that you will look after Little Konohamaru for me."He said now for once looking at Kaoru his expression was very grim.

" I would even if you didnt ask me Hokage-Sama."Kaoru replied her long brown hair was fluttering in the wind that seemed to sense the darkness of the situation, The Hokage believes he will die, "Thank you Kaoru"He stated, Kaoru smiled "Anytime, Your Like a father to me." She stated walking away wondering how she could deal with a team of the most dangerous sorts.


Kaoru looked at Amari who looked at her, oblivious to the rain,The water never did bother her...


The rain was soaking through her clothes, Her long raven hair sticking to her forehead as her crimson eyes seemed to be searching "Tsk, Its on her if she gets sick"Snapped Niito who was under the tent that Kaoru had brought, "She is in her element"Kaoru hushed him as she watched the water slow around Amari who was focusing and then she created a serpent made of water.


"What is it Amari?"Kaoru asked, Amari's hand went over her mouth as she looked at her close friend, "I was ordered to find you"She said "Did you find her!"Called out another familiar voice "Yes."Amari replied to Niito who came closer with a grim expression and blood on his face most of it was from other donors "Who Kakashi?"Kaoru said darkly her hand tightened. "No, I ordered her"Niito said "She thought you needed space, I say you where about to run."Niito ran a hand through his sliver hair that was cut loose from its tie "Not that I blame you"He added.

Niito Kaguya, The last known Kaguya and a tottal smart ass...


After Niito got his butt kicked by a cloud ninja He got up and went over to Kaoru who was watching Amari interact with the cloud ninja that she sent into the wall "Hello Kai.."said Sasuke as he glared at Niito, who didn't like him much either "Oh my gawd its sasuke!"Said Niito as he swooned at sasuke in a sarcastic swoon, Kaoru hid her smile because she knew that Sasuke wouldn't be happy. His glare deepened and Kaoru reached out and slapped Niito over the head.

"I thought you getting a shock made nocked some since into you but I guess not! behave!"She scolded, He rubbed his head as he nodded "Hello I am Niito Kaguya nice to meet all of you...Is that better Master?"He asked as he bowed deeply towards Kaoru who couldn't help but have an amused smile on her face.


Niito was a fellow ANBU but from the Root section, Amari was a Jounin who was very advanced, Kaoru being a dirty half breed like Neji would always tell her, Kaoru Uchiha, Half sister to Obito Uchiha and less than honorable than her older brother, The feared prodigy of Itachi's, The crimson murder, and to some a abomination, Hyuuga and Uchiha's just didn't have children together.

Maybe Itachi saw something that many in that time didn't see, Kaoru didn't know "Are you going to leave?"Amari asked gently not knowing why Kaoru was so silent, "Yes, I fulfilled my promise"Kaoru said remembering a time of when nothing matter except being with Itachi..


"One of these day I will be gone."said Itachi as Him and Kaoru sat on the side of the Uchiha house watching Sasuke in all of his happy glory try to catch a butterfly that kept on swooping around him. "We all will one day, Itachi- Sensei"Kaoru replied, She looked over at the man who she looked up to and got worried, He looked tired and haunted as he looked into Kaoru's bright blue eyes."I want you too look after Sasuke when I leave for good"He said as his eyes, He dark eyes that to some was cold and empty but to Kaoru she could see the worry and pain.

"I will but It will be a while before you leave...I love you Itachi-sensi!"Kaoru said pulling him into a hug, He flinched a normal repsonce for him and Kaoru could make out a soft "I love you too" come from him or it was just hope.


"He wanted for you to let him go...didn't he?"Niito asked he disliked the Uchiha brat but he couldn't help but feel concerned for Kaoru, She nodded and that answered his question "Itachi want you to let him go...After all these years you still fallow his orders?"Niito said agitated "It was something both I and Itachi-sensi agreed on."Kaoru stated she knew it was more, even after all these years...She loved him. Niito knew that look, She had it when she talked to Sasuke but this one glowed "What are you waited for!"Niito shouted making Amari look at him confused "Niito"Amari said.

"No Amari, What are you waiting for Kaoru a signed invitated to leave?"Niito's shouting seemed to break Kaoru out of her inner-thoughts, "He told me-" "Screw what he told you to do! Live your life!"He shouted that probably anyone could hear over the thunderous rain. Kaoru's hand went to her scar that Itachi gave her, Niito was right, she knew he was, He knew he was "What will you say?"Kaoru asked. Amari focused onto the rain to make sure nobody was coming, Kaoru watched her for a moment and then looked back over at Niito " That you wanted to go out on your own, To live your life"He told her.

"Two people are heading this way."Amari said Kaoru looked at both of her friends and gave them both a hug before disappearing in the thick rain. "Have you found her."asked Kakashi as he looked at the younger ninja who where staring into the thick hail of rain that seemed to just start, The looked at him "No we haven't"Amari said Niito looked at her, Amari looked at Niito. Kakashi sighed "She is gone..."He said.


Kaoru looked at the four shapes in the heavy rain her back pressed up again a tree, She gave a nodd and then she started to move through woods, Moving closer to her goal.
