I need you to remember.
(This is going to be a Kakashi fanfiction. Read if you like, there may be some (a lot) cheese, and maybe lemon, idk huehue. I do not own Naruto or anything related to it I just woke up one day and found my duty to be writing a fanfic about our favourite Copy Nin :D)
Chapter 1 (Prologue): "What, in Heaven's name?
"Come in" Tsunade called for the person behind the door of her office. She knew he stood there, waiting. Tsunade could draw the man behind the door on the wood still taking him away from her sight. "You summoned me, Tsunade-sama?" A manly voice spoke, before the silver haired man walked up to her desk. Her eyes narrowed watching the man in front of her. He was totally worn out, drained by the weight on his back, his one revealed eye seemed even more dull than it normally was and his lips were pulled in a straight line behind the black mask covering them. He once was a happy man, though you wouldn't think that, seeing him now. After… Thát, something inside him simply snapped, and he changed.
"Tsunade-sama…?" He asked again, after clearing his throat. "I did" Tsunade replied, moving her focus back to him. "The reason I called for you, Hatake… Is that I have a mission for you" The blonde haired woman stood up from her chair and walked slowly over to the windows, watching over Konoha. Tsunade happened to be the Hokage of Konoha, and at times like this, she wasn't all too pleased with that. After all, she was the one to tell this man that his future would change once again. "Alright, what's my mission, Tsunade-sama? Are you okay? You seem so… Distant" She heard Kakashi's voice behind her, and she slowly turned around meeting his grey eyes. Kakashi noticed her concerned gaze, and he felt his heart sink a little. Could it be...?
"Kakashi, her seal's awakened" She finally said. Tsunade watched the man in front her gasp and take a step back. "Y-You mean… Hér?" He stuttered. She only nodded, and although he'd probably never admit it, Tsunade noticed the tears that sprung into his one uncovered eye just before he closed it. Kakashi fisted his hands as he felt his knees go weak. "What is my mission, Tsunade-sama?" He repeated, regaining his posture and clenching his jaw. The woman knew him all too well, to see through his tough act. There may be not much left in this world what could touch this man, but if there was one single thing, it was her. This girl, was better known as "The lost girl of Konoha". Ayumé. Though only a few people in Konoha knew her like that, seen as since that one day, no one ever talked about her again.
She'd now be a bright young woman, Tsunade hoped, because only that thought helped her to keep going. Ayumé wouldn't have any worries, well, at least, she didn't have. Until now. "Kakashi, you're the only one…" She shot him a pained smile. "You are to protect her. No matter what. Be the one you were to her, Kakashi. Be the one she can talk to, who she trusts, someone to love and care for her, and protect her if needed" Kakashi looked on the verge of breaking down. His trembling body seemed to be about to give in at any moment. "I can't, Tsunade" He whispered. "Yes, you can. You're the only one who can, and you know that" She tried desperately to persuade him. "But she doesn't even remember who I am! She doesn't know anything anymore! All that we had, all that we shared, the feelings, the memories, she doesn't know anymore! S-She doesn't knów me any-m-more" No one has probably ever seen Copy Ninja Hatake Kakashi broken like this. The last word he cried out, after shouting until his throat hurt and his voice came out rather raw. He sunk onto his knees, and even covered his face in his hands.
"She will remember, Kakashi. She will. You only can make her remember. Of course she will have questions, and she will get frustrated. She will shout, and cry, and knowing her even throw things. But she will remember you, Kakashi. Right now, you and I both know, everyone is her enemy and Ayumé needs someone to protect her. Now do you want me to assign you this mission, or should I ask someone else?!" Tsunade stood her ground as the Hokage, though she hated being stern like this. She even, being the only one to know about their story, had never seen Kakashi like this. Not when the news first came, not when they sealed Ayumé, not even when they escorted her out of town. He'd just grown, numb. Kakashi was found days after days on his couch, staring into nothing but air. His friends would try to talk to him, take him out to cheer him up, only get a simple reaction. But the silver haired man's heart grew cold, and he didn't let anyone close anymore. "No… Please, not someone else Tsunade" Kakashi plead in front of her, making her give a firm nod.
As I stood up, I noticed something was different today. For example, my legs didn't hurt as much anymore as they did before, and the cold I had yesterday was gone. I walked over to my closet to pick some clothes to wear today, but stopped abruptly as I faintly got a glimpse of my own reflection in the mirror. Red. My hair was bright, vibrant red. One of my hands came up to stroke through the thick curls, only finding out it was bound with something. "What in Heaven's…" I whispered to myself. I took out the clip holding my hair together, but I couldn't quite remember putting that in. Speaking of that, I also couldn't really recall dyeing my hair bright red. My hair fell loose and it reached almost down until my thighs, it was almost thrice as long as it used to be.
Pinching the skin of my upper arm to see if I was still dreaming, I hissed in pain. Opening my eyes I looked at the girl in the mirror. Fluorescent, almost cat-like green eyes stared back at me, and waves of red framed the porcelain white colour of my skin. "What kind of joke this" I groaned. What in Heaven's name happened over the night?! I couldn't remember doing anything but simply reading one of my favourite novels, taking a shower and then falling asleep under the soft blankets of my bed.
Coming down from the shock, but unavoidably at unease I tried to just act as normal as possible and simply continue my morning routine. Maybe this would all just go away if I just acted normal. Well, as normal as you could, waking up and finding your appearance being changed into something you've never seen before. Picking out some simple black jeans, I matched it with a white top. I walked over to the bathroom to take a quick shower, and after drying myself off, I got dressed and headed back into my room. Once I'd succeeded in hiding as much of my now red, big volume curls under a grey beanie, I walked into the kitchen and made myself fruit-salad for breakfast. While eating from my bowl of fruit, I walked around the house trying to find my shoes when my eyes got sight of something shiny on the floor.
Putting the bowl down onto the table, I walked over to the thing that caught my eye. It was the clip that was binding my hair this morning. I ran my thumb over it, and felt a slight burning feeling shoot through my hand. Immediately retreating my finger, I saw it was a golden lion broche. It somehow looked familiar. Had I seen this before…? A sharp pain shot through my head, and I suddenly felt dizzy. I couldn't quite get a hold of my buckling knees, and the last thing I felt, before I blacked out was a burning feeling in my hand.
