II: years before
"There's no way I'm going to talk about that with you, young lady." She crossed her arms before her chest as a sign for his brother that she was not going anywhere until she got what she wanted. "You're far too young for stuff like that. Keep your nose out of business that has nothing to do with you. You're just making yourself unhappy." Next month she was going to turn 11 and she knew exactly that he was only calling her "young lady" to provoke her. She held on to the bag on his leg where he put in his shuriken and tried to pull him back into the house the two of them shared since their parents were gone.
"Niisan, I'm old enough. I don't need to be protected anymore or whatever you think you're doing in not telling me what happened to mum and dad. If you're not telling me, I will find someone who will." It was pretty stupid to think she wouldn't find out that something was not right when everybody in this village would not talk to her about anything involving her parents. He turned his back on Sayuri who still used all of her strength trying to stop him from leaving. "I'm gonna go for my mission now. It would be nice if you could tidy up your room or something until I will be back." And how did she know that he was coming back for her? After all, her parents seemed to be long gone too. Maybe it was her fault that everybody in this world was leaving? She didn't understand. He just lost a friend of his one or two years ago, on a mission and the only thing he had to do was running from one task to the next since then. It was as if he was using them to distract him from what had happened.
"If you're going out of that door, I will be leaving too." Sayuri let go of Kakashis leg. "So better think about it twice. Whether you want to leave me or not." It has been a week now since she could call herself officially a Chunin. Kakashi had been so proud of her but already seven days after he seemed as if he didn't even notice she existed. Either he didn't notice or he simply didn't care that he hurt her feelings by hiding from his. "You're not going anywhere anyway and if you should, I would find you in less than an hour." This mocking smile was on his lips again that has been telling her since their childhood when he wasn't taking he seriously. She could see it even through his mask he was always wearing. 'Oh, I hate this.' The next noise she heard was the slamming of their door and before she could help herself, she found herself staying behind a closed door, all alone and nobody here she could talk to for probably the next few days.
Actually Kakashi had always been one hell of a brother but since he lost his teammate, he acted as if he was only a shadow of his personality. As a sister she wanted to be there for him but he didn't let her. Instead he barely talked to her since then, they didn't go eat something together anymore it almost made her think that it had been him getting lost behind those rocks years ago. It made her angry, her body tensed up and it was exactly that moment when she realised that she really had to go to make her brother see that she wasn't somebody to take for granted. Who was he that he was allowed to simply leave her alone?
After searching some of her stuff together, packing it in a backpack and taking the weird looking mask she found in her brothers room when she was searching for one of her kunais she was about ready. The mask would be perfect that other people wouldn't directly identify her as the youngest Hatake-clan member before she could leave the village. At last she put on her black hoodie, the bandage around her leg that almost every shinobi had and ran off from rooftop to rooftop. For her age she could move pretty fast, mostly unseen, probably because of her being a lightning style user as it was normal for the family members of her. With tears in her eyes she stood at the border to Amegakure. One more step and she would leave Konoha for the first time in her life. Little did she know she would regret the decision of going further so badly in less than six hours.
