Disclaimer – I don't
own Naruto. That's a fact
I know most people are probably
annoyed with my Kyoko stories by now, since I have this one, but
let's hope the third time's a charm. The Prologue is in Kakashi's
point of view.

PROLOGUE
Kyoko Nozomi Hatake, I thought it was good combination. Kyoko meaning "mirror" since she would mirror people's actions, Nozomi meaning "hope" because everyone gave up on her and of course, Hatake meaning "field" she was my daughter and she couldn't go around with her original family name. Kyoko was a good girl, but clumsy always tripping over herself and other people. She was also intelligent, a genius by the Forth Hokage. I guess there wouldn't be a lot of one years speaking fluently when you first meet them.
Oh, how she loved the Forth Hokage like another father, she would always call him "Hokage Daddy" or "Daddy". It's unfortunate that he died something that Kyoko couldn't understand. The day of his funeral she asked me, "why they were burring Daddy? He had work to finish in his office." I tried to tell her what a funeral was but my mouth wouldn't open to answer. She was six years old when the Forth Hokage died, but little would I know that Kyoko would leave my life in four more years.
The day of her 10th birthday she achieved Jonin status. Unfortunately we had a mission on that same day. I was careless that day; she died because of my foolishness. I was being too cocky and proud of my only daughter being a Jonin at the age of ten. I remember how her body went into flames from an explosive tag. I remember watching her scream as I watched helplessly hoping that the flames would go out on its own. I gave her a proper burial but I never believed she was dead. I remember all of the crying faces that day but something didn't feel right. She couldn't possibly be dead.
