Chapter 4

Soon enough both arrived in iwagakure, the village hidden in the rocks, with their new ANBU masks on, hiding their faces, though they already took off their foreheadprotectors, in case something would happen. Iwa-gakure was built like most of the ninja-villages, so it wasn't difficult to discern, which of the buildings held the office of the Tsuchikage, there was a huge symbol of the rock on it's front side. They stood in front of it. Kakashi sighed, but together they went inside, knocking on the door of the office.

"Come in!" he said with his deep voice, he sat behind a desk, like Sandaime usually did as well, and was now staring at the two ANBU. Anko and Kakashi entered the room, and walked up to the desk.

"You have completed your mission?" the leader of iwagakure asked them. Anko just nodded in reply, both konoha nin knew, of course, this was the tsuchikage, and so he would be able to realize, who stood in front of him, but he didn't expect something like this, and so Anko and Kakashi didn't want to make him wonder about them.

"Where's your third member?" he asked, now looking down at his papers. Anko looked at Kakashi, then turned around to the man behind the desk.

"He got lost." Kakashi told. The Tsuchikage looked up from his papers and again at the ninja in front of him, then sighed, looked down.

"You are dismissed." He told them, but then looked up again, and before Anko left the room, he pointed at her. Anko stopped immediatly and looked to him

"You will come tomorrow for a new mission." He told her, then even the young kunoichi left the room. Outside both konoha-shinobi stood in front of the closed door for a moment.

"What do you think?" Anko asked, sighing.

"For now we should rest." Kakashi answered, then both began walking along the main street towards the near forest. Deep enough not to be found during the night, they built their tent again, laying two futons inside. They ate in silence, thinking about what to do in the near future, and then crawled under their blankets, resting the time they had.

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Anko stood in the middle of a deep forest, nothing around her but the endless green of the high trees and grasses. She didn't feel like she should be here, or like she even was here, it didn't seem real. She took some steps and looked around. Some meters in front of her she suddenly saw Kakashi, lying on the ground, badly hurt, with bandages all over him and eyes closed. He had neither his ANBU mask, nor his Konoha-foreheadprotector, only his usual mask covered half of his face. Anko called his name softly while approaching him slowly.

"Kakashi?" From one second to the next his eyes opened, and he stood up immediatly, though you could see it hurt. He closed his sharingan eye again. But he wasn't looking at her, he looked to the right side, into the forest. Anko followed his look with her eyes, and then realized two ninja running towards him in high speed. Anko looked at them in fear, she knew these weren't just ge- or chuu-nin, but jounin, worse even they were ANBU, having been send to kill Kakashi, and that's what they would do. Anko screamed after Kakashi, but he didn't even turn around to her. Anko saw them fight with Kakashi, he had several weapons in his hand, and he used them, but his opponents were faster in the moment, and so they could dodge and at the same time attack him. Anko saw that Kakashi was weaker, with all his wounds he couldn't even jump into a tree, so she ran towards him to help, but no one saw her, she could run through them. When they fought along, Anko sank to her knees, staring at the scene she had to see. Suddenly she saw a third man behind Kakashi, an ANBU-member too, like the animal mask showed, she knew her friend could neither dodge nor do anything else to rescue himself.

"KAKASHI!" she screamed on top of her lungs, tears in her eyes. In that moment the third ninja had thrown a kunai towards Kakashi, when he turned around by hearing the sound, he couldn't block or dodge anymore, he had already dodged the weapons of the other ninja's, so the kunai hit him directly in his heart. Blood split and the copy-ninja fell to the ground unmoving, his enemies looked at each other, then hurried away. Anko screamed his name again, punshing with her fist against the ground so hard that it hurt. She couldn't believe what she had just seen, and she didn't want to believe it.

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Kakashi woke up, it was still in the middle of the night, the moon was high above the tent of the two ninja, but it wasn't really cold, it was enjoyable, like usual in this time of the year. Kakashi had been woken by a scream, he turned around and saw Anko lying next to him, tears in her closed eyes. She seemed to be fast asleep, but sobbed his name between hard breathing. She wasn't lying on her futon anymore, well, she lay on nothing really, her feet lay on her own futon, and with her face, she already lay on Kakashi's. The copy-ninja, just wanted to get up to wake her, when Anko stroke out with her right fist, and then punshed hard on Kakashi's chest, crying more then before. Kakashi immediatly set up, took her hand in his, trying to calm her down. He called her name, more than one time, but it didn't work like he thought. Anko was still in anger, lashed about, never waking up in the process. Then Kakashi pulled her to him and hugged her. He hugged her tightly, so that she couldn't move much. They now sat on their knees on his futon and the kunoichi slowly calmed down, she clutched into her teammates sides, not realizing that she hurt him, but he didn't care anyway, he just was worried about his comrade. But then suddenly she woke up, she opened her eyes and stared into the face of Kakashi. When she realized her dream and Kakahi sitting healthy in front of her, she hugged him even tighter, pressing her tear-streaked face into his shoulder.

"Its over." The copy ninja said quietly, tapping her softy on her back.

"Arigatou" she smiled thankfully, loosened her grip and looked again into his face. He still looked worried.

"It's ok" she tried to calm him and even herself down, but it didn't seem to work very well.

"What was it?"

"Nothing, just a bad dream, it's over now." She said again smiling, but her eyes were still wet, and she was still under shock. But she lay down again and closed her eyes. Kakashi didn't know, if Anko knew that she was still lying on his futon, but he smiled and lay down next to her, one hand resting on her, and falling asleep. Anko couldnt sleep, she was just too worried. She liked Kakashi, she liked him a lot, and now she was thankful, that he lay next to her, but she had to think of her dream, somehow she knew something would happen...
