A/N: I do not own Naruto or any of the Naruto characters. I only own my OC Rena Hatake.

This series only tells bits and pieces of Rena's life with Kakashi and her life in the village. I don't know if I'll ever make an official story for her but we'll see :)

I also don't know when I'll be updating, hopefully often enough so that you guys can get the gist of Rena's life. :D I'm really excited to 'unleash my imagination' so please review and let me know how I'm doing.

This story is also a work in progress, I might edit and change some chapters and even add author's notes after uploading, but hopefully I'll become more organized before posting. I'm seriously so excited to share with you guys! Thank you and please enjoy :)

"Kakashi"

He barely heard someone call his name. It was too much. Kakashi was way too deep in his thoughts to even register the jonins and chunins moving about his house, let alone the person in front of him. He blankly stared at the bundle in his arms.

Why. Why did he do this. Why did he leave us like this. We.. we need him.

"Kakashi" the voice called to him again.

But the village say he's a traitor. He didn't follow the rules. He didn't follow protocol... But he saved lives. He saved their lives. Konoha shinobi lives.

A hand touched Kakashi's shoulder. He slowly looked up to met the hokage's eyes. He couldn't read the Hokage's expression. Sadness? Remorse? Guilt even? He couldn't tell. He wasn't focused. Was the death of the village's traitor really significant enough to bring out the Hokage?

Kakashi had been sitting in his family's living room through the entire night; a baby girl sleeping with a frown quietly in his arms. A couple jonins and chunins had been ordered to take care of the body and clean the rest of the room. It had been a long night and the rain was still being persistent.

"Kakashi, you should probably put her in her crib." the hokage spoke slowly, unsure of what his next words should be. It was tragic, to say the least. Sakumo should have never been labeled a traitor. Yes, he disregarded protocols but were his actions really a mistake? Konoha has suffered miserably because of his actions but certainly his family did not deserve this much pain.

Kakashi slowly looked back down at the baby. She was gripping his leather necklace fiercely, frown still heavy on her small face. "I can't... she won't let go."

She had been frightened immensely from the tense atmosphere, unknowingly about her situation. She grabbed Kakashi's necklace for comfort. Kakashi had tried several times throughout the night to pry her small hand off of his necklace but to no avail. His arms were growing tired. But after everything that's happened, he didn't mind carrying her for hours on end anymore.

"Kakashi, you need your rest as well." Kakashi's state was a sorry state to the hokage. Sarutobi stared at the infant's fist and had an idea. He asked a passing jonin for a kunai.

"Kakashi, allow me." The hokage gently shifted the infant's fist closer to him and away from kakashi's chest. Skillfully, the hokage cut the necklace on each side of her fist, freeing Kakashi from the girl and allowing her to continue her death grip. Despite current events the baby brought a small genuine small to the hokage's lips. Kakashi watched partially amazed and relieved at the Hokage's actions. Kakashi watched as joy slowly spread on the Hokage's face simply from watching the baby girl.

"Cherish her Kakashi. She's all you have left. " It amazed the Hokage how smart the girl was. Still an infant yet able to sense the devastation and suffering around her. She was honestly a beautiful baby, she took after her father.

Kakashi held on tightly to the remains of his necklace. "I will." Kakashi moved to take his little sister and bring her to her bed. He took the flight up the stairs but paused infront of the door that lead to her crib. He didn't want to go into that room. Afterall, it wasn't just her room it belonged to and Kakashi definitely did not want to leave her alone in there. Kakashi then decided to take her to his room. He layed her on the bed closer to the wall and then curled beside her. She looked so small and vulnerable.

His father had left him and his sister all alone. His little sister. His baby sister. In the short time she's been in this world, she has already lost too many people. She lost her parents, parents she would never grow to love or know. She was all alone, just like him.

No.

Something in Kakashi changed as he watched the baby's even breath, her contrasting bright baby pink blanket against his dark navy blue bed sheets. She squirmed slightly in her slumber.

They weren't alone. They had each other. Kakashi vowed he'll be the best damn big brother in the world. A big brother who will never leave her side. Rena and Kakashi, the Hatake siblings.

Kakashi drew out a long sigh and closed his eyes. He heard scuffles of foot steps lead out the front door, and when he heard the loud click indicating everyone had left, he left himself relax as best as he could. He'll deal with everything later. Soon enough the Hatake siblings were sound asleep, each holding their own piece of leather.

A/N: What did you guys think? How's my writing? Please let me know :3

Also a little bit more about my character:
Rena is about 4 years younger than Kakashi. It's said that Sakumo committed suicide around the time that Kakashi was in the Academy meaning Kakashi is 4 in this scene. Which would lead Rena to be almost 1 in this scene. I hope this adds a little more clarity.

Also, Sakumo's name possibly POSSIBLY has the meaning of 'agriculture' or 'crop'. Kakashi's name means 'scarecrow' and the family name Hatake means 'farmland'. I tried to continue this trend by naming my character Rena. The name Reina could mean 'wise apple', the name Ren could mean 'lotus', and the name Ran could mean "Orchid". I thought well a farmland could have an orchid, or apple trees, or even a pond with loti. So i came up with the shortened name of Reina and got Rena. Yay! The more you know.
