Hatake

Sahara knocks on the door. A man with snow white hair and a mask covering the lower half of his face opens the door. He looks to be in his mid twenties. He has one eye covered with his headband with the Leaf symbol on it.

"Hello" he says in a gentle voice. "Kika" he whispers. His face turns white. He looks as if he's seen a ghost.

"Hi." Sahara says. "I'm Sahara. Lady Hokage said I could find you here. I hope I'm not interupting you."

Kakashi snaps out of his state. "Sahara my how you have grown you look just like you mother."

Sahara is stunned. "You met me before?"

"Oh you were small, you probably don't remember. Please come in." Kakashi invites her in his home.

"So you know who I am?" Sahara questions.

"Yes," says Kakashi. "When you were very young you and your mother came for a visit."

"Well I don't remember that." Sahara tells Kakashi. "I would like to know more about that and you and my mother."

"I have time now to talk if you want to." Kakashi answers.

"Yes please," Sahara say excitedly. "Now would be great!"

"Hum, " Kakashi says. "Where to start? Well tell me do you know who your grandparents were?"

"No." Sahara answers. "I only just found out that mother was from Konoha and that she had a family here."

"Your father and mother never told you? She met your father here. They moved to Suna and then had you." Kakashi replies.

"I figured that much out." Sahara scoffs. "What I want to know is what she was like before and your relationship with her."

"Well our parents were shinobi from the leaf. They are both dead now." Kakashi bows his head in respect. "I am sorry I couldn't be there when Kika dies. The situation prohibited me from going to Suna."

"How did you find out about mother?" Sahara ask. "Did you talk to Father?"

"We got word about the Kazekage and those that were with him. Orochimaru killed them before the final exam even started." Kakashi tells her.

"I was suppose to go with her, but at the last minute she told me the Kazekage ordered her on a mission and that I couldn't come. If I had I might not be here today." Sahara cries.

"Your mother was very special Sahara, she loved you very much. I know this! When she brought you here years ago she said it was to protect you. At first I didn't understand why she did. She left you with me and told me she had to make arrangements in Suna. She said if she didn't return that I was to take care of you like she did for me." Kakashi says.

"Protect me from what?" Sahara questions.

"She showed up one night frantic. I only saw her act that way once. She said that something was going to happen and she would stop it no matter what." Kakashi starts. "But first let me tell you about Kika's life then maybe you will understand better."
