Here I am, stuck almost at the very top of the Ferris wheel with my teacher/crush/protector Kakashi. My god could anything else go wrong. "What just happened?" I asked slightly scared.

"We got stuck up here." Kakashi replied calmly, he had out his favorite book. I rolled my eyes. Okay…we're just stuck up here; nothing bad is going to happen. I mean they make these things safe right? RIGHT?!?

"I don't tell me, that you're scared of height." Kakashi muttered.

"I'm not scared of heights, I am scared of death." I snapped gripping on tightly to the rail. What if they can't get us down?!? We'll be cold and hungry. OH MY GOD I was going to die! I'm too young to die! Suddenly I felt a warm arm wrap around my shoulders.

"Geez calm down, I'm here to protect you aren't I?" Kakashi reminded. Oh yeah. I kinda forgot about that.

"So you're willing to risk life and death to save me?" I asked hopefully.

"Uh, sure something like that." WHAT?!!

Kakashi laughed upon seeing my reaction, "Calm down, I was only joking. You known you're the most colorful girl I have ever met."

Colorful…more like strange. "Anyway, it's actually quite nice out here don't you think?" Kakashi continued, "The night sky is just so gorgeous."

Yeah, he has a point. "See. If you keep yourself preoccupied you won't think of death." he said, "Well, good luck. I'm going back to reading."

Thanks for nothing jerk. Man this chair thingy is awfully swingy. What if the rail suddenly goes poof and swings over. "That's why we have seat belts." Kakashi said as if reading my mind, "You're speaking out loud Rachel."

"I am? Huh? Weird. Anyway I guess you're right. The seat belts would save us." My hand reached down to tighten my seat belt only there wasn't one! "Hey Kakashi… I don't have a seatbelt."

"What? "

" I said I don't have a seat BELTTT!!!!!" I screamed as the chair suddenly lurched forward with the rail lifting up suddenly. I tumbled over closing my eyes…waiting for the impact of death.

"I got you Rachel." I heard Kakashi's sweet melodious voice grunt. When I opened my eyes I could see that Kakashi had his hands grasped tightly on my wrist.

"Kakashi?" I whispered in astonishment.

"Yeah?"

"I'm going to die aren't I ?"

"WHAT?!?"

"Look at me! I'm fat! Oh god you can't hold onto me for three more minutes!" I cried, "Oh please God let me live! If you do I swear I'll go to Weight Watchers every Sunday and skip out on all the junk!"

"This is no time to be self conscious Rachel! Now listen to me carefully. I need you to try to grab on to me with your other arm." Kakashi instructed. I tried and on the third time I made it.

"Now what? We can't just continue to hang on like this."

"I know but we have to okay?"

I nodded, "Just don't let go."

"I won't. I swore not to let anything bad happen just trust me."

I looked up into his eyes, "I do trust you Kakashi, more than anyone else in the world."

Right then the ride started, carrying me back onto the ground safely. Kelly and Ryan tackled me in a group hug. Kelly was crying happy that I lived. Ryan continued to shower Kakashi with compliments on his strength. Kakashi just remained chilled as if nothing happened, but he stayed beside me. I kept my hand wrapped firmly around Kakashi. My worries about the group trying to harm were gone completely. If they truly were out to get me then Kakashi wouldn't have saved me. "You okay?" an unfamiliar voice asked.

A guy stood in front of us he was handsome. His hair was a golden color and his eye-like eyes were violet. He had a tall lean and pale complexion to him. All in all he was simple gorgeous almost as gorgeous as Kakashi. "Yeah thanks." I replied blushing slightly.

Kakashi grunted, his eyes glared at this guy "And who are you?"

"Ash Hall." the guy replied unmoved by Kakashi's strange behavior.

Kelly jumped up suddenly, "You're the guy who fixed the machine!"

Ah grinned a darling grin, "Yep that's me. If I could, can I speak to you alone Ms."

"Um… sure! I'll be right back guys!" I said excitedly breaking my hold on Kakashi for the first time in the last hour.

We walked off to an insolent spot of the fair. Ash kept looking around as if someone was following us. "Where are we going?" I asked starting to get nervous.

"Just a little further." Ash replied stopping abruptly.

My sense hyped up. What was I thinking following him to the middle of nowhere? Stupid! Stupid! "Are you hurt?" he asked all of the sudden.

"No I'm fine." I said uncomfortably. He grabbed my arms suddenly.

"Thank god. I would have to kill that him if you were. I'm so sorry. It wasn't suppose to hurt you. It was supposed to kill that man." Ash babbled on.

"What are you talking about?" I backed away slowly.

"Don't you see what they're doing to you? They're like all other ninjas. They lie to you then kill you, the only difference is that their waiting longer before killing you." Ash continued down his rampage of twisted words.

I just had to distract him a little more so I could make a break for it. "I don't understand." I murmured.

"Of course not, you just found out." he leaned in close to me, "You and I are the same. We're weapons, but we're not destructive like they think we are."

His lips now touched my ear, "Don't trust those ninjas. They lie."

Ash then got up and left hastily. I was left standing there alone. What was with him?

Kakashi's P.O.V

Rachel came back all shook up. I could tell by the way her shoulders were tensed and hunched moreover by the way she put on that fake smile. Whatever that guy said to her, he was going to pay for causing her misery . "Hey guys!" she waved putting on a mask on fake happiness.

"What did he want?" Kelly asked excitedly. She probably had been day dreaming about the most romantic things that could happen between those two, and now wanted the inside scoop. The thought made me sick. Rachel would never go out with an asshole like that. In fact I'd rather die than to her with that freak.

"Oh he was just worried about me and all that junk." Rachel chuckled nervously. If there was one thing for sure she knew that I knew she was lying.

"So, who's up for food?" Ryan asked right as all our stomachs growled.

"I'm in." Kelly said raising her hand.

"Me too. What about you Kakashi-sensei? I owe you one for saving me." Rachel offered giving me an offer to tag along.

I smiled, "Sure, if you don't mind being around a teacher like me."

"Don't worry about Mr. Hatake. I doubt will get bored of you anytime soon." Ryan assured.

I just smiled and told them that I would follow them from the car behind. What I actually did was transformed into a stuffed dog that Rachel around. I then created a genjutsu and relaxed for the ride. I was surprisingly yet disturbingly comfortable being so close to Rachel. That I enjoyed the ride.

Rachel's P.O.V

It wasn't even funny how needy I've become in the past few weeks. I practically am starting to cling on to Kakashi. Which was hard not to when my parents were states away. Not that Kakashi was a substitute for my parents. The feelings I have for Kakashi are so far from a parent/child love. It was pure love or what I'd like to believe as pure love. Then again I am only fifteen. Still if what that madman Ash had said was true, I wouldn't mind it so much as long as I died by Kakashi's hand. That wouldn't be so bad. "Hey, go to sleep. There are a whole lot of questions I want to ask you in the morning. So sleep." Kakashi commanded wrapping the blankets around me.

I yawned be forced myself to stay awake. There just seemed to be too much unanswered questions for me at the moment. Some of these questions may also mean whether or not I live. The only true question I ruled out was whether or not I could trust Kakashi. Deep within my soul I truly believed that Kakashi would never hurt me. I just hope in is a plausible belief and I am not proven a fool. If I was, then I surely would be forever broken.

A short Kakashi's P.O.V

I watched Rachel sleep. She looked some much younger in her sleep-less mature. Her face was now gentle and serene as she let out little breathes of air. My heart skipped a beat watching her. I fault absolutely horrible being around her, yet I have never been any happier. Was this the strength of the weapon? Could I be, being played? Or was I really developing an attachment to her? No, that wouldn't be good it would only make Rachel's assassination harder.

But…I wonder. How can some so innocent be a deadly weapon? How could this all be a big hoax set up by something not even awake yet? Moreover, how could I be taking a part in this whole plot to murder a naïve girl like Rachel? Was I truly so heinous that would take her life unmercifully? Stop it, Hatake! You're only playing with yourself. The weapon is playing you for the fool you are. Remember what Rachel truly is, a monster hiding behind an angelic face. Still…'I trust you more than anyone else in the world.' I feel guilty.

I hoped you liked it. Please comment and give me suggestion. Anyway here's some question for you think ponder about. 1. Will Kakashi break and tell Rachel about the lie?

2. Who is Ash and is he crazy or just knows something that Rachel doesn't?

3. Jiraiya find out about last night?

4. Is Rachel and Kakashi's feelings going to bloom into something more?

AND

5. Will Rachel survive the next attempt on her life?
