THIS STORY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH KAKASHI'S SHADOW. THIS IS AN IDEPENDENT STORY

Kyoko hung from the bottom of a branch using her feet to keep her on. She was done with her training and there was some light out for her to play and practice before going back home. Kakashi was in a nearby tree reading his book like all the other days. Occasionally he'd look up from the book spotting Kyoko before reading more of it. Kyoko walked up and down the tree before jumping to Kakashi's tree using her wolf form to sneak up the tree to surprise him. She liked her Kekkei Genkai it was unique; at anytime she pleased she is able to become a wolf pup (A/N: for now), but the only downside was if she became excited or surprised she could grow ears, a tail or whiskers. She crept above him getting ready to pounce. Kyoko leaped into the air coming down upon him but was caught by his hand. He looked up from the book seeing his daughter looking at him innocently. She became a human again sitting on a branch near him.

Curiosity was getting the better of her, "Daddy what's in that book?" Kakashi might have been slightly flustered but who knew. He shut the book and stared at her long and hard.

"It's a book that you can't and shouldn't read," he said after awhile. Kyoko softly mumbled oh, before looking away from him. She laid on the branch staring at her father innocently.

"Will I ever have a Mommy?" she asked quietly avoiding his gaze. They sat in silence which made Kyoko think that she asked the wrong question. Kakashi slowly reached out with his hand patting her head gently, but he never answered.

He spoke softly, "Maybe….Shadow…..Maybe. It's time to go." He patted her head one last time before jumping to the ground. She looked slightly puzzled before joining him on the ground as well. They walked back to the village silently. Kurenai crossed their path up ahead. It seemed like she had been crying. Kakashi's eyes filled with worry but his body stayed normal. When she saw them she instantly tried to make her face cheerful but, the tears still poured down her face smearing her cosmetics.

Kyoko whispered to her father, "What is wrong with Kurenai-sensei?" Kyoko's voice was shaky, filled with worry.

"I don't know," he whispered back. Kakashi walked up to her gently asking, "Kurenai, are you alright?" Kurenai tried to smile but it immediately turned into a frown as she looked down at the ground shaking. Her legs wouldn't hold her up any longer and she collapsed on the ground. Gently Kakashi kneeled beside her putting a hand on her shoulder, she winced a little seeming to be in some pain. It was wet; when Kakashi brought his hand back to look at it he saw that it was fresh blood.

Kurenai spoke quietly and staggered, "I'm fine. You should get your little one home." She touched the spot with her own hand before backing away from Kakashi.

"Kurenai, if that's an open wound it needs to be looked at," he stated. She shook her head no. Kakashi made up his mind to carry Kurenai to his house. Quickly, but gently, he pulled her to him before putting one of his arms underneath her legs and the other around her back. Her whole back seemed wet with blood. She struggled to get away from him but it was no use. Curiously Kakashi touched her shoulder and back. She had a huge cut that ran from that shoulder to her other shoulder.

"I'm sorry but I need to go," she said choking on her words. Kakashi didn't reply to this; he stood up holding Kurenai before motioning for his five year old to follow him. Kyoko ran to his side quietly as they walked home with the struggling Kurenai

I guess my one-shot is going to be a story now. If anyone wants more information on Kyoko I will be happy to write the next chapter about the character and what she looks like, since I didn't really describe her.
