"Okay, only one of you really knows who I am, and that is Kaori. Well, my name is Kakashi Hatake. I enjoy reading, and training with my newly adopted daughter, Kaori," Kakashi started. I looked at him with a weird look. 'Since when did Kakashi adopt me,' I asked myself in thought.

"Oh, yeah…Kaori, I forgot to tell you, I adopted you about a week ago. Well, since you've been living with me for a few months, I decided what the hell, might as well adopt her. But of course, you can keep your own name and everything, but you just have me as a 'parent'," Kakashi explained.

I looked at him weird, but shrugged it off. Keen wouldn't be able to get to Kakashi. The only reason I knew this is because Kakashi has the Sharingan. He's the strongest ninja I have ever met, besides the Hokage. Keen would lose, but then again, my parents had lost to Keen, and they were much stronger than Kakashi.

"Well, Kami, why don't you tell us a little something about yourself. It doesn't have to be personal," Kakashi asked. Kami looked very shy, but I did a hand sign or two, and she started to talk. Gosh, I loved all the powers I had. Sasuke kept looking at me with a look of jealousy.

"Well, my name is Kami Udori. I was born in the Land of Paw; it's actually pretty close to where Kaori lived. And I ended up killing my whole family, but it was on accident. You see, I have the six-tailed demon fox inside of me, and my father died while doing that. I wanted to go outside one night, and my mom tried to stop me, but I didn't listen. My sister, Aeisha, knew what was going to happen, so she took my brother, Cain, and ran as far as she could in so little time," Kami began. You could tell she was about to cry. I walked over and gave her a hug, and she soon continued with her story.

"With the full moon out, I had no control over the demon. I actually didn't have any control of it at all, since I was so little and didn't know what was inside of me. The demon took over, and I just destroyed the whole village. My sister then found me a week later, and we moved here to Konogakure. I haven't been outside at night in forever, because I don't have a seal to keep the demon under lock."

I looked over at Kakashi, and he gave me a nod. I knew what I had to do. I had to go against my wishes, and become great friends with Kami, and save her from herself. I knew if I put the seal on her, I'd have to protect her, and I knew I could. And I knew if I also became friends with Kami, with the seal on her, I could control that seal. So if Keen ever came into contact with us, I could unleash the demon, and easily control it.

"Kami, could I talk to you, please," I asked Kami. She looked at me funny, so I guess she could hear the sympathy I have for her in my voice. Kami got up and we walked over to a stream not too far off.

"What did you want to talk about, Kaori," Kami asked with a bit of concern. I really didn't know how to start this conversation off, but I knew I'd have to do some lying. I walked to the other side of Kami, and might as well have started a conversation.

"Well, Kami, I know a few jutsus, and if you wanted I could seal the demon so it wouldn't be able to get out at night. That is if you'd like me to," I said to Kami. Kami didn't know what to say. We stood there in silence for a few minutes.

"Kaori, that really means a lot to me, that really does. Are you sure it would work though? I mean you are only eight years old, shouldn't we wait a few years," Kami asked me. I knew she thought I was weak and all that, because she didn't she what happened a few hours earlier.

"Yeah, we could wait a few years, maybe when we are Genin. I'm already really strong, but I don't want you hurting anymore, and I don't want you to hurt anyone you care about. I know we just really met and all, but we can relate to each other. I can actually see you as a friend," I told her with actually a smile on my face.

Kami actually gave me a hug. I wasn't used to stuff like that, I really wasn't, because I've isolated myself for the past few years, but I hugged her back. I could actually see myself befriending her, and not just having to use her for my own benefit.
