CHAPTER 7 – Reintroductions

Kakashi blinked as he woke up in Konoha's hospital. His wounds have been pretty much treated. The door to his room slid open. "Good morning Kakashi! How are you feeling?" It was Rin.

"Fine. What happened back there?" Kakashi slowly helped himself to sit up on the hospital bed.

Rin helped Kakashi up. "Nothing much, Kitsuri and I just carried you back here."

"Oh… where is she?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen her in a few days." Kakashi looked out the window. "So… she was talking about… an assassination?"

"Yeah…" Kakashi explained to Rin the night where Kitsuri had attempted to kill him and filled her our with details- purposely skipping the part where he decided to steal a kiss of Kitsuri.

"So that's what it was about… She probably went back to the hidden village of Mist after that mission."

-Flashback-
Kakashi looked upon Kitsuri's back. "… I want to know more about your friend. I want to learn… the comradeship you talk about."

"You're probably right." Kakashi frowned.

The window opened, and Minato hopped in. "Hey guys, been through a rough mission?"

"Kind of…" Rin smiled at her sensei.

Minato returned the smile with an even bigger one. "Well, Sandaime Hokage-sama has given you all a holiday. Rest well, folks!"

"Yes!" Rin laughed. Kakashi nodded and Minato jumped out of the window, leaving Rin and Kakashi alone in the hospital room. Rin turned to Kakashi. "Want me to feed you some apples?"

-----

Two weeks passed and still no news of Kitsuri whatsoever. Kakashi wondered if she had really gone back to her village. Rin and Kakashi stood at the gates of Konoha village ready to receive their new mission. "Yo! Kakashi, feeling better after the holiday?"

"Yes, sensei."

"So here's your mission for today. But before that, I would like to introduce you to a new member to the team." Minato stepped sideways revealing a young girl who had blue hair, blue eyes. Her hair was tied back into a neat ponytail. Kakashi and Rin gasped at the girl's appearance.

Kakashi gasped at the appearance of the girl. "Kitsuri!"

"Where were you in these weeks?" Rin was also amazed.

It was Kitsuri indeed, but this time- without a mask. "Um… excuse me but you can call me Yuuri. Kawate Yuuri."

"…Yuuri?" Kakashi stared at her.

Rin continued Kakashi's question. "Why?"

"Well… Kitsuri was a code name for a mission after all."

"Huh?" Rin was very confused, along with Kakashi.

"But... doesn't that mean that you went against your village?" Kakashi questioned her.

"What are you talking about?" Kakashi and Rin stared at each other. "Kitsuri died on her mission, she was killed by a certain Konoha shinobi..." Yuuri eyed Kakashi. "Anyways… nice to meet you!" Yuuri stuck her hand out for a handshake, Rin took it and they shook hands.

Minato had his hand on his hips as he watched his team's amazement with the appearance of Kitsuri, or rather Yuuri. "So… ready for your new mission?"

Yuuri turned around and looked at "Yes, sensei!" Yuuri had a smile across her face. Let's work hard together!"

Kakashi had an unseen smile under his mask, and with that, he looked at the newly introduced Yuuri. "Yes, let's work hard together… Yuuri."
