Not showing even the slightest emotion, both stared at the other. The warm rain spattered the cold ground like old blood."What is your business here?"he asked abruptly, his voice muffled by the porcelain mask he wore. "Absolutely none of yours." the child countered coldly, her face blank. The older ninja stared at her, then slowly lowered her to the ground. He surveyed her, taking in her disheveled appearance. She glared up at him with hate filled eyes, her stiff and ready stance, the stuffed bear she held tightly to her chest. It occurred to him that she looked just like Rin, but the ears threw him off. A small set of black-tipped wolf ears replaced those that a normal human would have. If he had looked behind her, the warrior was sure he would have seen a small tail, matching the color patterns of her ears. The shinobi sighed and sat cross-legged on the wet ground and offered the child a packet of crackers.
She stared at them, surprised. "Who are you?" she whispered, ignoring the small package as if it was poisoned, and knelt to the ground. He removed his mask slowly, not wanting the girl to startle. "Hatake Kakashi. How did you get all the way out here? I've never seen you in Konoha before." The girl shuddered violently and sneezed. "My name is Yuki. I live...No. I lived in Iwa. I-I was chased out." she replied shakily. "Ah." Kakashi sighed. "And, I suppose, that it has nothing to do with those ears?" he hinted, nodding to her. "Uh huh. Not a thing to do with it." Yukiko replied, looking away into the darkness. "I've heard reports on you. Shuurajou no Yukiko, am I correct? You are a half breed. Half wolf, and half wind demon. If approached, proceed with caution. Also a host to the...Kyubi no Urufu... " The girl stiffened."Why am I only known as a monster!?" She leapt up and shouted, scaring a few birds from their nightly perches. "I'm a demon, I know! But I'm sick of being acknowledged as such!" Kakashi noticed her eyes changed from a dark sapphire to a bright, amber-flecked gold. The small child's ears laid flat against her skull, her tail lashing angrily. She clenched her fist and snarled, showing abnormally large, and lethally sharp, fangs. The older ninja stood and placed a hand on the enraged girl's shoulder. She looked up, scowling. "Come with me. You'll catch cold if you stay out in the rain like this." The girl only nodded, and the shinobi led her back to his village. As they walked, a small trickle of sand twined itself around her leg, winding itself around her. The little blonde ignored it completely, only looking ahead with a carefully blank stare; her legs stiff in their movement. The silver-haired shinobi shook his head sadly and continued walking, matching his "captive's" brisk pace.
