Chapter 1

"Yaoi, Lady Tsunade wants to see you."

My Friend, Chiyo and I have been hanging out since 2 in the morning. Yaoi is not my real name. It's Rin. Only Tsunade and Danzou know my real name. But, Chiyo does know everything about me, including my past. Right now I have to go see lady Tsunade. Oh gosh, I hope she's not going to tell me that Danzou's retiring. Oh!! Wait, He would never do that. My sensei is a great shinobi. Though some times I feel he's too possessive.

Knock…. Knock. Ouch my knuckles hurt. I'm at her door.

"Come in", Tsunade says.

As I walk in the room I notice a familiar head of hair. It's silver. Oh no. Oh god no. I can't do this. I can't be in the same room with him, Kakashi Hatake. My old team mate. The one I deceived and hurt so bad that day. I hope he doesn't see anything familiar in me.

"You're not going to need that mask anymore, take it off", Tsunade instructed.

I didn't mind, changing my face. I hide my purple tattoo marks with makeup.

"You also will use your real name now, not your alias", she said. Oh no. No. NO!!

He will surely find out now. But, I don't have a choice, she's the Hokage. But, I am safe for now. She hasn't requested my real name yet. But I shouldn't have thought so soon.

"So, tell your new captain your real name", she said. Great. She is not letting me walk away from this so easily. I had also forgotten that we were not the only ones in the room. There was Shizune, Tsunade's student, and three of kakashi's team. One had blonde hair, blue eyes, and was wearing a black and orange outfit. The girl had pink hair, green eyes, red shirt, pink skirt, and black under shorts. The last one had a rather weird outfit on. He had a shirt that didn't cover his full torso, you could see his stomach, his skin was pale and hair was black.

"Did you not hear me? I said tell your captain your real name", Tsunade repeated.

"My name is Rin", I said softly.

I know I'm going to regret this.

In the corner of my eye, I saw him staring at me. Why, why of all days did it have to be now? I wasn't ready to see him again. I knew he was probably not going to stop staring.

"Good, now we can get to the mission. From now on, you will be on Team Kakashi. You won't be in Anbu black ops. You all will be protecting a very valuable object. It contains unlimited amounts of chakra. You have to get it to the Kazekage. Garra see that it's destroyed."

"Lady Tsunade, when does this mission start?" the pink haired girl asked.

"In three days. You all have time to get to know Rin and discuss strategy for precautions", Tsunade replied happily. I can't help but feel uncomfortable. I started to move my feet, using this as my chance to escape.

"Rin, don't go yet. Sakura, Naruto, Sai, you three may go now. Rin wait outside, I will talk to you after I talk to Kakashi."

I hope she's not looking for any answers.

As I walk out the door, I still notice him looking at me.

"Kakashi, you look like you're going to burst, are you okay?" Tsunade asked me.

I can't believe it. She has been alive all along and I never knew. I really need to go see her. That day… I thought I'd lost her. I thought I'd lost the only person who cared about me and who I returned the care to. And now I feel relieved yet---

"Kakashi, are you okay?" I heard a gentle voice ask again.

"How" I croaked. It's all I could say.

"She faked her death. Kakashi, she made you and the assassin think she was dead", Tsunade explained.

"Why? Why would she do that to me? I thought she cared for me".

"I don't know. Danzou never told me and neither did she. Also you have to remember to be careful what you say around Danzou, He's very possessive about Rin. And go to Rin's house tonight to have her treat your cut. Her friend Chiyo will see that you're there." Tsunade pointed to my cut. I remember that I got it from the last mission I was on. It started from my arm and went to my back turned to my stomach and went up to my neck.

"Yes, lady Tsunade"I said. I really have got to go see Rin.
