Chapter II

Lilith could feel herself slowly drifting off to sleep as they continued through the trees. The adrenaline rush from the run in with the large man had begun to wear off. A dull ache started in her back and slowly began to ache more. Dull soon turned to sharp and before she could stop herself she let out a groan as Kakashi landed on a tree branch. The change in gravity from the landing and him jumping again elicited a louder groan.

Kakashi heard her and felt her body tense up every time his foot touched down and pushed off another branch. He readjusted his arms under her legs and landed softly on a larger branch. "Everything okay?" He questioned as she buried her head into his back.

Lilith gritted her teeth as she squirmed in his hold for a moment. "It would seem-" She started before hissing in pain and squeezing her eyes shut. "The adrenaline is wearing off…my back." She huffed.

Kakashi looked around before looking over his shoulder, "We are almost to the gate. Think you can bear with it until we arrive?" He got a small nod in response to say go for it. Once again adjusting his grip on her legs he jumped from the branch. He picked up speed once he saw the large wall come into view. The change in pace elicited a small groan from her but he kept it. He wanted to get there as soon as possible just in the off chance there might be some internal damage.

He jumped from the last branch, landing on the quiet path that led to the village gate. With as much speed as possible he ran towards the village. Just outside the gate he spotted the two assigned gate guards and stopped abruptly in front of them. Lilith hissed as the sudden stop jarred her back.

"K-Kakashi-sensei!" Both men shrieked.

"We weren't expecting you back for some time." One spoke up.

"Yeah, well I would have been here sooner but I ran into a small problem." Kakashi spoke nonchalantly and nodded his head back to Lilith who currently had her face buried between his shoulder blades.

The two younger men looked at the woman on Kakashi's back. Both men holding a confused expression as their gaze returned to Kakashi.

"Um." The one spoke again.

"We will worry about the paperwork later. As of right now she is with me. That should be enough for now, right?" Kakashi drew the last part out as he gave the two younger shinobi a warning look. They both nodded their heads nervously. "Good." Kakashi said smirking under his mask and giving his eye smile before jumping through the gate.

"He scares me." The other one finally spoke up. He received a nod from his fellow guard as an agreement before the two resumed their duties.

Kakashi took to the rooftops and headed straight for the hospital. A few of the more rough landings resulted in Lilith letting out a muffled groan or hiss of pain as she bit her lip gripping Kakashi's jacket tighter.

The doors to the hospital opened and Kakashi jumped through landing in front of the receptionist's desk. The young woman jumped when Kakashi spoke up. "Hello there. I need to get my friend here looked at." He said in a friendly manner.

The young woman behind the desk blushed, "Your friend?"

"Hmm?" Kakashi blinked then turned so the young woman could see Lilith. The receptionist looked to Lilith then back to Kakashi. Her blush faded when her eyes met Lilith's. She frowned and seemed to drop the sweet act immediately.

"And what does your girlfriend need to be seen for?" She huffed.

"She isn't my girlfriend." Kakashi spoke calmly, "And her back has been injured. Maybe even possible internal injury."

The receptionist's eyes lit up once again, "Well then," she spoke, the sweet tone spilling from her mouth. "Have her fill these papers out and we will get her back as soon as we can." She smiled sweetly as she handed the papers over the counter. Her chocolate brown eyes never left Kakashi as she started to twirl a lock of hair in her fingers.

Lilith rolled her eyes at the display, "I hope you're not buying into this. It's pathetic." She murmured to Kakashi.

"Of course not…but if it gets you seen quicker I won't stop her." He whispered back as he set her down gently. "It's not like I'm egging it on." He shrugged his shoulders. The receptionist was still smiling brightly completely oblivious of their small conversation.

Lilith rolled her eyes again as she reached for the papers. "You're kind of a jackass ya know." She muttered as she walked slowly to a nearby chair. Before she sat down she turned around slowly and waved the papers around, "What good are these if I'm not even a citizen?"

"We can use the information you give us as a means to look up your past records." The receptionist said with a superior tone. "Everyone knows that."

"I thought receptionist were supposed to be nice." Lilith frowned. The snooty attitude from the younger woman was making Lilith's skin crawl. She glared at the girl and winced when she turned to walk back towards the desk. The look on Lilith turned dark as she placed the papers back on the desk. "I really hope the rest of the people in this village aren't like you or this hospital is going to need more rooms." The young receptionist's eyes widened and Lilith's expression fell flat. "I can guarantee you will find no records on me."

"Ev-everyone has records somewhere." The receptionist spoke looking nervously at Lilith. Lilith groaned and pinched the bridge of her nose.

Kakashi stepped forward and took the papers from Lilith, "Look, let's get her checked out and I will make sure the paperwork gets sorted out. She will be meeting with the Hokage shortly anyways."

The young woman looked at Lilith with annoyance and then back to Kakashi, with another smile she nodded her head. "Of course." She wrote something down on a small sheet of paper and then briskly walked through the set of double doors.

Lilith scoffed as she leaned on the desk, "Jeez, you wouldn't need any kind of ninja tricks for that one. Being that gullible is like having a death sentence around here. People like her might as well have 'kill me' written on their damn foreheads."

"Hmm, true." Kakashi hummed looking at the ceiling.

"Then again," Lilith started through a low groan, "being a smartass will get you one just as fast if not faster."

"Mhmm." Kakashi hummed again placing his hands into his pants pockets.

Lilith chuckled then hissed from the sharp pain it stirred up. "Guess I'm no better than Ms. Suck-up." She thought about it for a minute. "Is it possible to kiss ass that much in one sitting?" She mumbled to herself.

"Hmm?" Kakashi tilted his head to the side so as to look at her from the corner of his eye.

"Huh?" Lilith looked up at Kakashi, "Uh, nothing, I was just thinking out loud."

The double doors opened abruptly making Lilith jump then double over the desk in pain. Her legs gave out and she began falling to the floor. If Kakashi didn't have the reflexes of a jackrabbit on a sugar high, as Lilith would put it, she would have face planted on the edge of the desk. He wrapped an arm around her waist stopping her fall. He remained perfectly still as Lilith gripped the desk with one hand and grabbed a fist full of his jacket with the other. The nurse who burst through the doors ran over and helped him stabilize her.

"Can you walk?" The nurse asked. Lilith looked at the woman with one eye and nodded weakly. The nurse looked at Lilith and blinked a few times, she then looked at Kakashi. "Um?"

"I'm fine." Lilith said softly. She took a slow cautious step and winced.

The nurse shook her head and sighed, "I'll get your girlfriend a wheelchair."

"She's not his girlfriend." The receptionist from before interrupted.

"Would you can it?!" Lilith yelled. The receptionist shot her a glare, huffed and crossed her arms like a spoiled child. "What I wouldn't give for a brick to-"

"O-kay, um, let me get that wheelchair!" The nurse interrupted in a cheery tone and sent Kakashi a pleading look. She scurried away and quickly returned a moment later with a wheelchair.

Lilith reluctantly sat in the wheelchair, her back aching a bit as she adjusted herself. The nurse adjusted the foot rests and helped Lilith carefully place her feet on them. She grabbed the handles and began wheeling Lilith towards the double doors. When she looked back she saw the young receptionist basically had Kakashi cornered up against the desk, stars dancing in her eyes.

"Um, Kakas-" the nurse began softly.

"Leave him," Lilith interrupted with a smirk, "After all he wasn't egging her on." She waved her hand dismissively making the nurse giggle. She wheeled Lilith down the long hallway and into a large exam room. After helping her out of the chair and onto the bed the nurse dismissed herself. Lilith sat in silence enjoying the peacefulness.

There was a sharp knock on the door, "Hello there." A busty brunette beamed as she entered the room. "I'm the physician on duty today, Minami Akemi, what can I do for you dear?"

Lilith smiled at the woman, "Um, Lilith, and well it would seem I injured my back."

"Oh, dear, how did you do that?" Akemi asked as she placed a gentle hand on Lilith's shoulder.

"This fat guy threw me into a tree." Lilith stated bluntly. Akemi stared at her in mild shock for a minute before shaking her head lightly.

"Well then," she and Lilith chuckled, "Let's see what the damage is." She walked to the sink and began washing her hands. "If you would, raise your shirt up and lay on your stomach."

Lilith nodded and began to roll her top up and moved slowly to her stomach. She heard the click of heels as Akemi approached her.

"Okay good. Now I am going to place my hands on your back over the injured area. You may feel a slight tingling sensation." Akemi explained. She placed her hands over Lilith's back and her hands began to glow green. A few minutes later she removed her hands and let out a breathy sigh.

"What's the damage?" Lilith mumbled.

"Well, the good news is nothing is broken or fractured. Your back is bruised pretty badly though." Akemi said as she sat down in the small chair near the bed.

Lilith sat up slowly, "And what's the bad news?"

"Well you're going to have to be put on light duty to give your back time to heal. You could do more damage if you do not give your back enough time to heal." She stated simply as she placed her interlaced fingers onto her lap. "And I know how you shinobi are, always-"

"I'm no shinobi." Lilith cut in stopping the woman in the middle of her rant.

"You're not?" Akemi asked with actual surprise. "With a chakra signature like that," She gestured towards Lilith, "I would have pinned you as at least Chunin or higher."

"Definitely not that, whatever a Chunin is." Lilith spoke clearly, shaking her head.

"Okay, well," Akemi clapped her hands together, "I still want you resting. I can do a series of healing treatments to mend the bruised tissue. It will take about a week before you are fully healed."

Lilith huffed but nodded her head, "I don't really have much choice."

Akemi smiled warmly as she stood, "Okay let's go ahead with the first treatment." She walks towards Lilith and places a hand on the injured area again. Within a few moments Lilith could feel her back relaxing a bit and the sharp pain dulled. "Okay, that is all I can do for today. I will get you a prescription in pill form for pain until the next treatment." Akemi turned to walk towards the door.

"Um, hey." Lilith reached out to stop Akemi. "How, how did you do that?"

Akemi frowned a bit and tilted her head, "Like this." She showed Lilith her hand and as it began to glow green Lilith's eyes widened.

"What's that?" Lilith pointed to Akemi's hand.

"It's chakra. The green glow is the signature to healing chakra." Akemi explained. "You don't know much about it do you?" Lilith shook her head slowly. Akemi chuckled, "Well you will find out more if you hang around here long enough." She walked out of the door leaving a slightly stunned Lilith.

"It's not that uncommon." A lazy sounding voiced filled the quiet room and Lilith jumped. She turned her head towards the now open window to see Kakashi perched on the edge. "There are many villages that do not have shinobi and many know nothing about chakra. It's uncommon but at the same time it's not, to come across someone who knows nothing about it." He stated as he slipped into the room quietly. "She is right though."

Lilith looked at Kakashi with a confused expression, " Right about what?"

"You have a decently strong chakra signature. It surprised me as well that you are not a shinobi." He shrugged.

"Hmm? How would you know? I never told you I wasn't." Lilith crossed her arms raising an eyebrow.

"Your fighting techniques are horrible." He said in a flat tone.

Lilith's face fell flat, "Jeez, thanks."

"With a little help you could become a good shinobi." Kakashi pointed out as he pulled a book with an orange cover from his pocket.

"Yeah," Lilith drew out the word, "probably not."

"Well if you ever change your mind." Kakashi sang out, his eye never leaving the book. There was another knock on the door before it opened. Akemi was barely in the room when she froze.

"Kakashi?" She looked at him with a raised eyebrow. She huffed when all she got was a two-finger wave and nod from the man. Akemi rolled her eyes and mumbled something inaudible. "Okay Lilith, these will help with the pain. They will make you drowsy and sick if you do not eat prior to taking them." She handed the bottle over to Lilith.

"Thanks." Lilith smiled at the woman.

"I would really recommend that someone help to assist you for the next week." Akemi said in a stern tone.

"Huh? Why?" Lilith asked.

"To give your back maximum time to heal. Do you have anyone?" Akemi questioned. Lilith shook her head.

"She'll be meeting with the Hokage after she is done here. He can assign someone to her." Kakashi spoke up, eyes still glued to the book.

"Very well. I'll let him deal with it then." Akemi nodded. "Kakashi? Could you make sure she gets there unharmed?"

Without a word, Kakashi snapped his book shut and stood. He placed it back into his pocket and walked towards Lilith.

"Remember to rest." Akemi said pointing at Lilith. The stern look on her face made Lilith nod quickly. She shot Kakashi a small glare before leaving the room.

"Another of your fans?" Lilith pointed towards the door.

"No, she just doesn't trust me to get you to the Hokage's office in one piece." He shrugged wrapping an arm around Lilith. He held up two fingers and before Lilith's eyes they were surrounded by smoke and now standing in a hallway. With a loud gasp, Lilith leaned forward causing her back to tense up.

"How did we get here?" Lilith said breathlessly.

"Just a trick I know." Kakashi shrugged.

Lilith deadpanned, "Another one huh?"

"Hmm?"

"Never mind." She sighed. "Where are we?"

"The Hokage tower." Kakashi said as he started walking down the hall. It stretched on for what felt like forever. They stopped in front of a large set of wooden doors. Kakashi knocked on the door, a moment later a faint voice was heard answering the knock. They entered the room and the first thing Lilith spots was an older gentleman sitting behind an enormous desk covered with mountains of papers.

"Hokage-sama." Kakashi nodded his head.

"Kakashi." The man nodded his head. "This is her I presume?"

"Yes." Kakashi nodded.

"What is your name child?" His gruff voice was stern but soft and a little wary.

"Lilith." She answered.

"Just Lilith?" He asked raising a curious eyebrow. She nodded. "Strange name you have there. What brings you to my village?"

"Well, Kakashi." Lilith answered jerking her thumb in said man's direction.

An amused expression played on the older man's face as he looked between the two. "Explain."

"Well, where do I start, um I was attacked earlier today. After I knocked the guy out I was leaving when I ran into Kakashi. Right about that time the guy started to wake up. Kakashi offered me a lift and…well; now I am here." She shrugged looking to the side, her eyes then trailing back to meet the calculating ones of the Hokage.

The Hokage nodded, "It was brought to my attention that you were injured as well."

Lilith nodded, "My back was when the big idiot threw me into a tree."

He nodded again, "Where are you from?"

Lilith bit her lip; this was the part she feared. "Well, um it's kind of hard to explain." She looked to the floor.

"And why is that?" The Hokage's voice was solid and never once did it show any emotion. "If you would like to acquire citizenship here I will need to know more about you. Understand, this is not meant to point any kind of blame to your person. We simply cannot be too careful, there are many dangers in this world and nothing is more dangerous than an innocent face with a dark motive."

"I understand." She said looking back to the older man. "It is kind of hard to explain and it will probably be even harder to believe." She looked back and forth between the Hokage and Kakashi. The Hokage nodded his head in a silent go ahead and Lilith drew in a deep breath. "Well, ya see I am not exactly from here. And when I say that I mean, I am not from this world, your world." She gestured around her. Her statement caught the attention of the two men and she was pressed to continue. "I met someone in my world that was apparently from your world. She was able to travel to my world using this special crystal she had and when she decided to return to her own world she brought me with her."

"Crystal? A crystal was able to do this?" The Hokage pondered. "Child, your story is far-fetched but…" he paused for a minute, "This crystal, do you remember what it looked like? And your friend, what can be said about them?"

"Well, it looked like any other crystal really but…when we were between dimensions it began to glow blue." Lilith closed her eyes as she remembered the scene. "She said its power was limited and that it was pretty much useless now." She opened her eyes and looked at the Hokage, "As for my friend, I have no idea where she is. We were separated." Lilith left the part out about her friend coming to find her later for safe keeping.

The Hokage studied Lilith for a long while before he seemed to relax a bit. "It…is a lot to take in. But I have seen and heard stranger tales in my time. If your story is true then that would mean a certain clan thought to be long gone is still present and they need to be found quickly. They are no danger to us but what they hold in their possession could become one." He stated firmly. He looked to Lilith with a stern face, "It would be best for you to stay here for the time being. I will grant you partial citizenship; you will need to be questioned further by our specialists to solidify your accounts."

Lilith nodded her head in understanding and stood silent before the older man. He then looked to Kakashi with a blank expression, "Since you brought her here you will look out for her."

Kakashi's eye widened but he remained silent. Lilith on the other hand had a bit of a problem controlling her mouth. "Oh jeez seriously?" She slapped her forehead and mumbles a few inaudible curses.

"Is there a problem?" The Hokage asked leaning forward sitting his elbows on the desk.

Lilith looked up and opened her mouth to speak when Kakashi quickly placed a hand over it to silence her. "No problem."

"I didn't think so." The Hokage stated as a ghost of a smirk appeared on his face. "Now, if you will Kakashi. Escort her to the temporary living quarters across town. I will have a set amount of funds for her by tomorrow to pay for whatever essentials she will need. For now take this." He laid a generous amount of what looked like some form of currency on his desk, he then let he gaze travel towards Lilith. "The funds are merely to help you get started; you will need to find a way to make your own soon."

Lilith groaned but it was muffled due to Kakashi's hand still covering her mouth. She glared slightly at the old man and crossed her arms. This was not how she wanted to start off her stay anywhere in this new world. Kakashi was a target for women and the last thing she needed was to get caught in the middle of some crazy village girl's rant about love, broken hearts and why she was always hanging around him. Her shoulders dropped as she thought more about it and she let out a small whine. This whole situation was completely frustrating and now she was basically on 24/7 surveillance, house arrest.

Kakashi gave Lilith a small warning look before removing his hand and walking towards the Hokage's desk. She stood in place with her arms still crossed as she watched the two talk and the Hokage hand Kakashi a folder full of papers and the money. As life would have it, well it just sucked right now. The thought of becoming a ninja ran through her mind as she continued to think about her current situation. At least that way she could fend off the crazy village women who had an unnatural infatuation with Kakashi. It never hurt to know how to protect yourself and knowing a bit more could definitely come in handy should she run into more people like the idiot she had to deal with earlier that day.

When they were finally able to leave the tower and start making their way across the village to the temporary living quarters, Lilith thought it would be a good time to speak up. "Hey, um, Kakashi?"

"Hmm?" He looked over to her.

She looked down at the ground as they walked along one of the dirt paths that weaved throughout the village. "I think I might take you up on that offer." Her gaze stayed put on the ground as she watched her feet, kicking a small rock when it came into range.

"Oh, what offer would that be?" He hummed.

"To train." Her simple statement caught his attention immediately.

"Are you certain?" He asked as he placed his hands in his pockets.

They continued to walk side by side for a while before she finally spoke up again. "Well if I am going to be seen with you I will have to know how to defend myself." She said with a shrug.

"What's that supposed to mean." Kakashi said slightly pouting.

"If your Hokage wants you to be my escort…maybe they should think about changing that title to something else when it involves you," she placed a hand to her mouth, "anyways, after seeing first hand with the receptionist at the hospital and knowing a little about you already I figured I would need it. Other ninja aren't the only thing I should fear when I am around you. I don't need to get my ass kicked by a mob of love stricken village women." A shiver ran down Lilith's spine at the thought. The women all standing around, pitchforks and torches in hand, an eerie glow to their eyes as they curse her name and then charge.

"Well," Kakashi said with a huff, "we can start once you are done being questioned by those specialists." Lilith nodded her head. "If they don't have to kill you that is." She was sure he was smirking as he said that last part.

The two continued on through the village silently, the street was somewhat crowded with it being later in the afternoon and a lot of strange looks were directed their way. More so were some glares directed at Lilith from a few women as they passed by several shops. It took everything she had to ignore the glares and sneers she was getting but she managed. Normally she would go completely ballistic and start going off on whoever was pissing her off but she kept her mouth shut. She was in a strange world and right now was not the time to test out how long she could survive. It was a smart play on her part as they continued on further passed the shops and the dense crowd began to thin out.

Before long they stood in front of a two story building, in desperate need of a paint job she noted. Kakashi began to walk up the stairs; Lilith on the other hand took in the sight. At this rate, the stairs were probably more likely to be the cause of her death. The railing was rusted and leaning to side and looked like it would crumble under the slightest pressure. The steps were tall and just wide enough to place the first half of her foot on, her calves were going to get a good workout on these if she didn't break her neck first. Kakashi didn't seem to have any trouble on the stairs; he simply glided up them with ease and turned once he had reached the top.

He looked down as Lilith walked slowly up the dangerous set of stairs and smirked. Without saying a word he turned and started walking down the narrow walkway towards the flat that she would be staying in. The sound of footsteps caught his attention and he turned to see Lilith stalking up to the door.

"If he wanted to kill me why didn't he just do it when I was right in front of him?" She groaned. Kakashi shrugged his shoulders and placed the key into the lock opening the door to the small flat. Lilith walked in and stopped in the center of the small living room area. She scanned the room; it was furnished with the simple things like a couch, coffee table but no television. Not like she cared she barely used the one she had in her old apartment. The kitchenette was sectioned off with a low bar and cabinets positioned over it. A small two seater table sat in the corner. The fridge and stove looked okay; maybe a little cleaning and they would look more presentable. Once again, not like she really cared, material things were just not on the top of her list.

"Not bad." She hummed walking down the small hallway and into the bedroom. She would need a new comforter set for the bed and clothes for the dresser. Speaking of which she looked down at herself and whined a bit. She had absolutely no clothes whatsoever and was not a big fan of shopping. "Great." She grumbled.

The adjoining bathroom was clean, small but clean. Once again only a few minor things would have to be stocked making her trip to any store short, sweet and simple. As she walked back towards the living room area where Kakashi still stood her stomach began to make it apparent of the lack of food in it. With a blush she looked at Kakashi and he simply pointed to the fridge. Lilith raised an eyebrow but walked towards it and opened the door. To her surprise it was stocked, very well.

"Well would you look at that." She murmured. She reached in and grabbed an apple, after washing it thoroughly in the sink she bit into it. A large grin spread across her face as the sweet taste hit her taste buds. "Sweet." She nodded. "Well, that is one less thing I am going to have to worry about for a little while."

"There is still time to go back into town." Kakashi pointed out as he studied her.

"Yeah, and I will. Just not with you." She narrowed her eyes.

"Oh? And what's so bad about me going?" Kakashi questioned raising an eyebrow.

"Oh don't play dumb. We already talked about this remember? On the way here?" She gestured to the flat. "I hate shopping as it is but I would much rather do it alive. Makes it kind of hard to carry all that stuff back here if I'm dead."

"Hmm. Yes that could pose as a problem." He leaned back looking at the ceiling placing a hand on his chin.

"So glad we can come to an agreement on something." She walked to the door and opened it waving her hand silently telling him to leave. When he continued to stand in the middle of her living room she crossed her arms. "Come on I don't have all day. You can leave now."

"Who said I was leaving?" He turned his head to look at her.

"I did." She said pointing out the door.

Kakashi shrugged his shoulders and walked slowly towards the door but stopped just shy of it. "You don't want to be seen with me in public?" He questioned not looking in her direction but could see her nod her head. "Very well...just remember, those crazy love stricken women have already seen you with me and now you are going to travel back into town without me. Good luck." He stated with a wave and walked slowly out the door.

Lilith paled at his words. He was completely right, he was completely right and she was pissed. If she went into town now after everyone had seen her with him they would surely try to do something. With a loud growl of frustration she slammed the door and stomped towards the devil's staircase. Kakashi was standing at the bottom with his nose in his book again as she walked passed him. His eye trailed from the book and fell on her as she walked on.

"Shut up." She mumbled once he caught up with her and the two walked back in the direction of town.

Please review. I would like to know the opinions on my story and its progression. I may ask for help or suggestions in later chapters so for those following this story keep an eye out. Thank you!
