"By then" Kakashi started "ninjas from different countries were worried with an old beast that had been woken, the twelve tail white wolf. This monster was destroying whole neighborhoods, always looking after high level clans, killing everyone, but especially, drinking all the blood from the body to extract chakra.
"It seems that the beast goes especially for old clans, with high level of chakra." Hyuuga Elder said. He was father of three children, although you all only heard of two: Hiashi and Hizashi, fathers of Hinata and Neji. What you don't know is that he had a young daughter Hemi. "And it is leading to Konoha…" he seemed worried, with many reason to be.
"Our family is now the eldest family, since the Uchihas are gone… We need protection." Hiashi said.
"We could use a jutsu to create another jinchuuriki… We already have Naruto Uzumaki…" I suggested.
"You know this is not how it works, Kakashi-san. We no longer have Minato to seal the demon inside a baby. Also, both parents need to authorize it to happen. Who would give the very own child to such a destiny?" the third Hokage, for Sarutobi was still alive by the time. "And we are here talking of a twelve tail beast… It more than what was locked inside Naruto… We would need an extraordinary strong ninja to do so…"
"Excuse me, father…" a female voice interrupted. The woman had a tray with hot tea in her hands.
"Come in, Hemi."
That was not the first time I had seen her. Hemi was a vision from the gods: all the delicate body, the long purple hair and the innocent Hyuuga eyes… I had been in live with her for so long, although I always knew I would never have a chance. Her clan was very closed and I knew Elder Hyuuga would never allow any kind of approach.
"Hemi Hyuuga!" the third Hokage said "It is impressive to see how you grew up into such a beautiful woman!"
"Thank you, Hokage-sama" she said with a reverence and blushing.
"I believe that soon old Hyuuga will need to look after a good husband, won't you?" the Hokage said smiling.
"Maybe, Sarutobi-san. Still, in my eyes, Hemi is a child." He said.
"I am not in a hurry to have a husband, Hokage-sama" she said, pouring tea for us. Unfortunately, I moved my cup, and she dropped a little bit of tea on the table. When she was about to cover it with a napkin, our hands touched, and for the first time, my eyes met hers. I felt like I was locked in a jutsu, but I was not: I was locked into those sweet eyes of hers. "I am… I am sorry, Kakashi-san." She said quickly, taking her hands for herself. "Excuse me, father."
"You can go." Elder Hyuuga permitted.
When we left the Hyuuga's house, Sarutobi-sama came to me: "A funny thing, love is… It might awake even with an accidental tea dropping on the table."
"Sorry, Hokage-sama?" I tried to disguise.
"You cannot fool me, Kakashi Hatake. Even an old man like me can see things when they happen in front of my eyes. But be careful. Hyuuga is very conservative and Hemi is his little jewel. Don't be silly to think he will allow anything that easily…"
"Hokage-sama, I am sorry, but I know where my place is. Hyuuga would never allow even if I asked him."
Some days later, Elder Hyuuga invited me in. "My young Hemi needs a better training, and as I've been too busy lately, I thought that you would like to help me being her sensei."
I felt something burning in my stomach. You cannot simply say no to a Hyuuga, yet, I could not simply accept. "It is an honor to be offered such a job, Hyuuga-san, but I wonder if one of your sons wouldn't be better to develop her abilities…"
"In fact, Kakashi-san, I would have thought of them first. But as you know, we all are worried with the beast, what includes Hiashi and Hizashi…"
"Well, under the circumstances, I gladly accept the job, Hyuuga-san."
Our first date was actually our first training day. I took her to the same place I took you three, Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura to do the same training.
I was waiting for her, wondering if she would come with that perfume, with her hair loose or not, daydreaming about the vision of her. And when she finally arrived, I needed some seconds to find words.
"Good morning, Kakashi sensei!" she greeted me. She had her hair in a ponytail, what made her eyes even brighter.
"Good morning, Hemi! Well, your father told me you needed training and… well… He asked me to…" I was missing the words while looking at her. I tried to look down to my feet, but her perfume invaded my lungs, and I couldn't think about anything else, only how much I wanted her. "He asked me to help you with your training because your brothers cannot…" I kept my eyes down, but I heard her feet walking towards me. So she gently touched my chin to lift my head up and look at her.
"And here you are, Kakashi sensei." She said. She is too close…
"Well… To begin, your first task is to take these bells from my hands" I said showing her the bells and giving three steps backwards. I bumped on a tree behind me and she laughed discreetly.
"Just take them from your hands, sensei?" she asked.
"Yes, you can use whatever you want to attack."
"Whatever I want?" she asked again giving a step forward.
"No matter how deadly." I laughed.
"Alright!" She giggled.
She simply walked towards me, silently, unafraid. I was petrified, as I felt the heat of her body coming closer. She was centimeters from me and I felt her hands on my arms, her body pressing mine, as her hands ran down my skin to find my hands. "Aren't you going to run?" she whispered at my ear.
"Aren't you going to attack?" I whispered back.
Then I felt the bells falling from my hands, yet, I couldn't move to hold them. "I am attacking." She said, taking them from my hands and shaking them "I made my move, sensei. It's your turn." She whispered, caressing my nape.
In an impulse, I let my hands hold her tiny wait and bring her body even closer to mine. "This is madness…"
"Put your mask down" she asked. Her hands helped mine in this task, and as the mask fell down, our lips matched each other.
I was consumed by her. Everything I did from that day on was for her. I loved her. I needed her.
"You never needed training, did you?" I asked her one day.
"Not really, no." she laughed. "The thing is that I needed you. I've been observing you for a long, long time Kakashi-chan…"
The year that we were together was the happiest year of my life, and soon she found out a pregnancy. That was reason of happiness, for her father would never allow his daughter to be single mother. And then, the horror started to happen.
