Uhmm Heyy! Chapter 2 is up! Like it? Short again.

But... I will be uploading 2 times every week!

That night I couldn't stop thinking of her. I don't really know if she likes me or hates me, and personally, I don't care. Something about her draws me in. Her sweet scent, the innocent look in her eyes. Saya. Why…why do you make me feel this way?

"Alright Team Minato assemble!" The Captain's voice rang in my head. The mission was simple. Deliver a message to Futal Lord about the war. I was going with Saya and Saya alone. Minato and Rin had another assignment to attend.

"Alright Kakashi, you are the jounin and responsible for the care of Saya." I could see my new comrade blushing at his words and, I wouldn't confess it, but under my mask I was turning red too.

"Alright Captain Minato Saya and I will be moving out now." Without waiting for a reply Kakashi headed for the main gate, Saya following behind me.

"Be careful," Rin shouted after us. I know even after one day she wasn't fond of Saya, although the medical-nin was a nice girl and would never say anything to harm her out loud.

The forest was clouded from the former smokes of war, mists made of ash floated by. I remembered when I was small child walking out into this very forest, seeing the lush green trees. This was all changed now though.

I'm 16, a jounin and faced with more trouble then I was before.

"Alright, there will be enemy ninja trying to prevent this message from getting to the Futal Lord. Its not very important but they don't know that. You should stay close to me just...just in case something happens." I felt the urge to protect her; she had eyes revealing that she also had the need to be protected. Obviously not by me though.

"I told you already Kakashi, I would like to keep the words between us short if at all necessary." There was no tone unveiling Saya's emotion towards the situation. Without another sound we headed off towards the Capital of the Land of Fire.

Listening for the faintest breath, the smallest cracking noise. Looking for the tiniest movement, I could sense a presence near, slowly edging closer towards us. Saya's eyes flickered towards me for a moment showing that she sensed our unwanted guest too.

I quickly dodged the Kunai heading for my leg. This ninja was inexperienced; I could tell by the way the kunai wavered as it shot straight into the tree behind me.

I looked over at Saya to see if she was okay. She nimbly dodged three kunai in mid air, landing on a frail branch of an oak tree. The enemy came up behind her.

Then a flame.

The smoke cleared and both Saya and the attacker. Then it became clear. 3 ninja, two of them were genin judging on the way they had just fought. Saya could probably handle them by herself.

At least I thought she could.

He was coming up behind her, his eyes were as wild as a tigers. A curved wicked smile came upon his face as his kunai met contact with her. Saya yelped in pain as a slash of blood welled up on her right arm. Spinning around in a flash she stuck back with a power-full fire jutsu. It flooded over one of the enemies causing them to crash into a tree.

"Saya," I called to the young ninja. "I'm going to deliver the message. You hold them off and I'll meet you back here." I spun off in the direction of the Futal Lord.

I thought I heard Saya say something.

The exact five words I would never hear from her.

The in the faintest whisper of my mind I heard;

"Kakashi…please don't go"

Like it? WELL READ AND REVIEW :)AND REMEMBER THERE WILL BE 2 NEW CHAPTERS EACH WEEK!
