Thought maybe I should mix it up a bit and actually write in a different POV. :3 Hopefully y'all like this chapter.

Kakashi POV

I walked out of Tsunade's office as quickly as possible. She's back. No she can't be. That couldn't be her in that office. I shook my head and walked down the street. I pulled out my copy of Icha Icha and stuffed my nose into the vulgar romance. "Did you hear the news?" "What?" "Sarutobi Suki is alive." "What? Sandaime's daughter? She was pronounced dead years ago." I shook my head and jumped onto the rooftops not wanting to hear her name. "OH KAKASHI! MY YOUTHFUL RIVAL! DID YOU HEAR THE NEWS?" I looked down at Gai and sighed. I put my book back into my pocket and jumped down.

"What is it Gai?" Gai smiled. "Suki chan is alive! I heard it from the merchant down the road. Can you believe it? I could finally thank her for saving me that day." He started crying cuing my exit. "I don't know what you are talking about, but look I've got to meet with a team. So Ja." I quickly poofed away. I made it to my apartment and sat down. "Why must I be plagued by my past?" I heard someone walk by making me curious as to whom it was. I opened my door to see her again. I walked to the door and used my spare key to get in.

"That's my tou san." "He was quite a remarkable person. You know for someone who strongly believed you were still alive. "She turned around and looked at me. I walked in and closed the door behind me. "Kakashi I can-" I touched her face still not believing she was there, but I could touch her. "It really is you." She closed her eyes. I wanted to pull her closer. Hold her like I should've before, but I needed to know "Why'd you leave? Why'd you go and kill yourself?" I took my hand off her face and she opened her eyes and looked at me. "What do you expect? I watched my best friend die in front of my face and I couldn't do a thing about it because goddamn Itachi placed me in a genjutsu to keep me from saving her! If I didn't fake my death how could I have left this damn village!" "Damn village? Excuse me but I lost a friend way before you and-" "YOU HAD A CHANCE TO SAVE HIM BUT YOU DIDN'T" She put her hands up to her mouth and act to hope I didn't hear her, but too late. "I did try to save him." "Kakashi I didn't mean to say-" "Shut up." I turned around angry. I walked to the door. "Yeah I could've saved him, but there was a thing called a boulder in the way that my thirteen year old self couldn't lift." I turned around and glared at her. "I even had a chance saving you. I thought I had lost you. Lost probably the best thing to ever enter my life. The girl who was the annoyance of my life, but also the one who changed my life further." Turned the knob and stepped out. "Now I wish you had really died that day. Would've saved me the regret of loving you." Shut the door behind me regretting slightly telling her that, but her voice started ringing in my head reminding me she deserved every word that came out of my mouth.

I walked into my apartment slamming the door behind me. "She comes back and she already pisses me off." I sighed and took my shoes off. "That's Suki alright." I walked into my kitchen and started a pot of tea. I can't believe she's alive. "YOU HAD A CHANCE TO SAVE HIM BUT YOU DIDN'T" Her voice rang in my head angering me. I slammed my fists onto my counter top. "One thing she'll never grow out of. Her damn mouth saying whatever it likes." Suddenly there was a knock at my door.

I walked to my door and opened it to find Asuma. "Asuma." "Oi Kakashi may I come in?" I nodded my head and turned to attend to my teapot. "What brings you to my place? I thought you had lunch with your team." "This is about my sister." I grabbed two cups and placed them in front of him. "What is it about her you'd want to discuss?" I grabbed the teapot and poured into our glasses. "I know my tou san trusted you with protecting her." I stopped pouring and stared at him. "How did you-" "Don't think I wasn't snooping around then. It's my sister's well being we're talking about." The room fell silent. "I used to think he was crazy believing she was still alive. I believed she died that day even without a body."

I sat down and took my cup. "I know about your feelings for her." I nearly spit out my tea. "Wh-what? Feelings?" Asuma chuckled. "Don't worry I won't hurt you." He cracked his knuckles. "Well as long as you don't hurt her." I chuckled slightly, even if I could take him on. This is about Suki so Asuma is a million times stronger. "Anyways." We took a sip of our tea. "Remember what my tou san said to you. He doesn't trust many with Suki. Considering how gifted she is. You're lucky he approves of you." He sipped the rest of his tea. "Well Ja." He walked out of my apartment leaving me with my thoughts.

I walked into my living room and sat down looking at the picture of Suki and I, before the incident. "How could I just let you get away and believe I had lost you? I closed my eyes and thought of that meeting after e had "died"

Flashback.

"Sandaime sama." I bowed down. "Kakashi just the person I wanted to talk to." I sat down in front of him. "Sandaime sama I've told you before I had her body but I got trapped in Genjutsu. By the time I got out she was gone." The hokage walked over to me and placed his hand on my shoulder. "I know Kakashi, but you don't think she really is gone?" I looked down at the necklace in my hand. "I saw it with my own eyes. I saw her use herself as a shield to save Gai." The hokage took his hand away. "I know. You also have to wonder why she didn't immediately put herself into recovery mode right after that hit. You don't really think she would die that easily. You of all people should know how she doesn't back down." I sighed and closed my hand over her necklace.

"I know Sandaime sama, but after that incident. I'm not surprised she let herself go. I know what it feels like to loose a friend. And you of all people should know she may be ruthless in battle but she has a weak heart. Once broken kami only knows what happens." "Kakashi look at me." I looked up as the hokage walked back to his seat holding a file. "This here is Suki's file. I entrust you with her safety when she comes back." "But Sandaime sama." He put his hand up making me shut up. "I know you don't believe there is a way she could be alive, but I know my daughter. She is strong and will return." "Sandaime-" He put his hand up again. "Just promise me when she comes back you will be there for her."

"But why me? Why not entrust her to Asuma. He is her brother." The hokage laughed. "Sure she has a strong bond with Asuma, but he isn't the one I could trust. Your bond is much stronger." I looked at him shocked. "You don't think I would see the bond forming between you and my daughter." He smiled at me. "I know of the feelings you hold for my daughter. I also know of the feelings she holds for you. I believe you are the only one to get her back to her old self." I looked at the necklace in my hand. "Will you promise to watch over her and protect her when she comes back?" I looked at him and nodded my head. "Good, I have placed the apartment next to yours on hold for her return. Whether she comes back today tomorrow or in the next few years."

Flashback ends

"GODDAMMIT!" I heard a scream from her apartment followed by a loud crash coming from my room. I walked in and found a gaping hole in the wall where her apartment met mine. I walked up to the damaged wall. The punch seems like it would come from Sakura or Tsunade. Suki couldn't inflict this much damage. Could she? I walked into her apartment and on her bed was one of her and Kina. I looked at the picture and chuckled at Suki's face. I realized that this picture must've caused her pain to see. "I knew I should've kept this one." I looked out her window and noticed it was wide open. "Crap." I walked back into my house and grabbed my shoes. "Always, every time I get mad at her she manages to make me worry about her." I sighed and jumped off her ledge going straight to the first place I could think of.
