Chapter 2. A Ninja?

Kasara blinked up at the Sandaime. Akito was frozen and Kasara's mother, Miki, was staring ahead with blank eyes. Obito was watching the family worriedly while his team watched in anticipation. "Due to the amazing skills she possesses I would like to make her a genin."

"There must be a mistake, sir," Akito said holding his hands up. "Kasara's just a little girl. No one's taught her anything."

"She's not even supposed to go into the academy," Miki said, not comprehending anything. "We decided that before she was born."

Kasara glared at the ground. She was half Riku, and if that wasn't enough, she was also half Uchiha. She was born to be a ninja and the only reason she wasn't was because her parents had decided to decide her path in life for her before she was born. "Akito-sama, Miki-san, have you asked Kasara what she wants?" Obito asked, knowing by their many conversations how Kasara felt about her parents' decision.

"Kasara's too young to understand!" Miki shouted at him, snapping out of her daze.

"Kasara doesn't get to make that choice. She's a child," Akito said.

Kasara balled her hands into fists, listening to the arguments going on around her. She was so tired of hearing this. Even her uncle, Fugaku Uchiha, had tried to convince her parents, despite his dislike for her. "Kasara isn't strong enough!" Miki exclaimed. The comment made Kasara snap.

"What do you know?" Kasara screamed. "The only thing you care about is that I'm your perfect little doll. If either of you would open your eyes you would see that I've always wanted to be a ninja! You've just decided to be a coward.i never did!" with that she ran out of the room.

Miki's eyes were wide and Akito's jaw had dropped. The Sandaime knit his fingers together in front of his mouth and cocked an eyebrow. Kakashi was watching her, wondering about her coward comment. "Neither of you ever ask her. She doesn't need someone planning her life. She never speaks out against you out of respect, but when the Hokage is personally asking for her to be able to do what she's always wanted to, you don't even think or look at her. It's a miracle she doesn't hate you!" Obito glared at them.

"Obito," Minato warned.

Akito glared at him, sharingan activated. "You don't know anything boy."

Obito gulped and sweat trickled down his forehead, but this was Kasara he was speaking up for. "I know more about Kasara than you both do. She goes to the training grounds before the sun's up and way after it's down just so she can practice what she loves. She activated the ketsueki two years ago and has taught herself a lot about it. Kasara found out about Miki when she was four and never said anything. She wanted to go to the academy, but didn't say anything when you didn't let her. You don't know that every time we were together she cried until I rocked her to sleep. Don't say I don't know anything."

Miki was the one who said something. "The boy needs to be taught respect, Akito. I hope you do it. Excuse me, I'm going to go find my daughter."

Before she left the room Obito said, "She doesn't want to be found. You won't find her."

"She's eight. You expect to much from her," with that, Miki swept out of the room.

"And you too little," Obito mumbled. "The training grounds. Three o'clock," Obito said before also leaving to look for his little cousin.

Kasara was on top of the Hokage mountains, masking her chakra and sensing for either of her parents. She jumped when a boy landed beside her. "You are good," he said.

The silver scarecrow beside her probably wouldn't come anywhere nearer to complimenting her so she smiled. "Thanks."

"What did you mean by calling your parents cowards?" he asked.

Kasara watched him before looking up at the sky. "Mom had her clans kekkei genkai, she was eighteen when she got it, the oldest anyone ever was to receive it. Of course she was ecstatic. Her team was already strong, but with her kekkei genkai they thought they were invincible. Four years later they didn't know they weren't. Her team had been sent on an S-rank mission. Something went wrong and her teammates were killed. Instead of helping or completing the mission, my mother ran away. She turned her headband in and swore she would never train again.

When she met dad she was reluctant to have anything to do with him because he was an anbu. Eventually they became friends. Somewhere along the way dad fell in love with her, and she him. He was going to become anbu captain and leader of the Uchiha, but he had to know. Mom said that if he would quit being a ninja and leave his clan that she would marry him. He didn't hesitate to agree," at this her lip curled in distaste. "He quit being a ninja and then told his clan that he was disowning them. They settled down where we live now and pretty soon I was conceived. They were both from powerful clans and knew their child could be strong. Instead of thinking of what their child might want, mom told dad that her child would not be a ninja, and if he didn't agree she would leave him."

Kakashi's eyes were wide. He couldn't believe that. Akito had given up his life for the woman and she decided to ruin her child's life as well. "That's..."

"Disgusting," Kasara hissed. "Sometimes I wish I could hate her and that my dad would open his eyes. I can never hate her, though, and daddy loves her too much for anything to upset him. She's nothing more than a bitter old woman who can't forgive herself and let go of the past."

After a moment Kakashi put his head on her head. "You should smile."

Kasara blinked and stared at the emotionless boy incredulously. "Excuse me?"

"It's my job to be bitter, so you have to smile, ok?" he asked.

Kasara slowly smiled softly. "Ne, Kakashi, are you warming up to me?"

He hmphed. "No way, brat."

She puffed her cheeks up. "You're only a couple years older than me," she grumbled.

He ruffled her raven colored hair. "Are you going home?"

"Not tonight. I'll probably sleep in a tree," she shugged.

Kakashi shook his head. "You can stay with me."

After a bit Kasara smiled and held her hand up for him to grab. He did so and Kasara squeezed it a bit. "Thanks, Kakashi."

She took her hand back and stood up. Kakashi started walking slowly so that she could keep up in her short blue dress. She grinned up at him. "Ne, Kakashi, I might not be your friend, but your mine. So I'll do anything to take care of you."

Kakashi paused, eyes widening, before he continued on. He wondered silently if she meant it.
