A/n: I after reading this story over again got idea's thrown at me for this so i decided to go on with it so here is a long awaited chapter and i hope you guys enjoy.

Kusabana stood at the door for her room that led to her small little porch as the rain pored down out side and the cold air nipped at her skin as she breather you could see a small white cloud depart from her lips. 4 years had passed since she had come to the sound village. She had learned everything she could from Orochimaru not to mention some medical techniques from Kabuto, and now it was finally time for her to return home. Warped her hooded cape around her and put her hood up and put her bag on her back and closed her door and stealthy escaped the sound village. Being trained my Orochimaru this was not a problem for her. She ran threw the night as the freezing rain hit her like needles soaking her body down to the bone it was winter time only a week away from Christmas. She smiled to herself at the thought of finally being back home in Kakashi and Neji's arms for Christmas. Several hours later she arrived at Konoha it was only a few short hours befor day break. She was able to sneak in and made her way to Kakashi's apartment. She knocked normally first and after a few minutes she began to pound on the door. This waking Kakashi. He got up not knowing who could be at his door at this hour he put a shirt and pants on and grabbed a Kunai. He went to the door and opened it with his kunai ready to strike as he opened his door he saw someone in a hooded cape befor he could attack her she quickly removed her hood and held up her hands.

"No Papa Kashi it's me Kusabana" Kusabana said her teeth chattering.

Kakashi's eyes widened and he dropped the kunai; tears began to weld up in his eyes as he grabbed Kusabana and hugged her not minding that she was getting him wet. Kusabana dropped to her knees in the apartment holding on to Kakashi sobbing.

"Oh Papa I'm so sorry I didn't send word, I'm so sorry but I couldn't it could of blown my cover, I missed you so much." Kusabana sobbed into Kakashi's chest.

"We thought you where dead, we found you cloths bloodied and torn, your home your really home" Kakashi said as tears ran down his cheeks and into her already wet hair as she held her shivering body. He pulled her away to look at her again he used his hand to move her wet hair out of her face.

"Come on lets get out warmed up and out of your wet cloths." Kakashi said standing up and helping her.

He went into his room and got a pair of his pajama pants and a plain t-shirt and handed them to her. "Here take these go take a quick warm shower and ill fix you some Raman and put your cloths in the dryer."

Kusabana nodded and walked into her old bathroom he hadn't changed a thing.

A few minutes later Kusabana came out in the pajama pants and t-shirt each one a little baggy on her but they fit her better than what they would of 4 years ago. She no stood a little over Kakashi's shoulders as to when she was 13 she wasn't even up to his shoulders. She made her way into the kitchen and sat down at the table. Kakashi sat there just watching her as she ate.

"how has everyone been since I've been gone?" Kusabana asked

"Well Neji has never given up hope that your where still alive, he goes out to that tree of your guys every morning to watch the sunrise and every evening to watch it set, Sakura has grown in strength under Tsunade's training, Naruto trained with Jiraiya for 2 and half years he started that a year after you left. Everything has been pretty peaceful for us" Kakashi said

"That's good" Kusabana said

"So what where you doing?" Kakashi asked

Kusabana looked down and sighed "I was at the sound village I found out about my mother and how she was a sound ninja and was one of Orochimaru's subordinates but killed her after I was born because she had fallen in love with my father, Orochimaru placed a heaven seal on me so I can transform like the sound four, I also trained directly under Orochimaru, I learned a lot of his technique and some from Kabuto as well I thought that if I could stay there train under him I could find out his plans and one day once I returned I could fight him and with a good possibility win I can already hold my own in a fight with him I have surpassed Seika a great deal. Though that is good new I have some bad news" Kusabana said as she played with the Styrofoam cup.

"What's that." Kakashi asked

Kusabana looked up at Kakashi "Sasuke is dead, Orochimaru was going to use him as his next vassal but he became very ill, I had befriended him while I was there when we weren't training we sat and talked about Konoha and all you guys, Orochimaru ordered Kabuto to do everything he could to get him better but I think Sasuke saw it as a nice way out. Once he found out what Orochimaru wanted to do with him he kind of gave up Sasuke wanted power but not like that and he didn't want what power he could have used against his friends. I made sure he was comfortable and happy untill his last days" Kusabana said as a tear ran down her face.

Kakashi place a hand on hers. "Its okay your home now I'm sure everyone will understand."

"I don't know papa Kashi I have done horrible things, I have killed innocent people and children. I slaughtered women and children as they sat in front of me begging me to spare them but I killed them anyways. My hands will be forever stained with their blood and my ears forever haunted with their cry's, screams, and pleading" Kusabana said as she began to cry looking down at her hands.

Kakashi got up and went over to her and hugged her stroking her hair "Kusabana you had to do those things to keep yourself hidden if you didn't you could have been killed yourself. You will repent and avenge their death once we have defeated Orochimaru"

It wasn't untill a few minutes untill sunrise when the rain finally stopped and a misty fog covered Konoha. Kusabana changed into one of her outfits that had dried and grabbed a thick throw blanket that she would use as a Shaw.

"I'm going to go see Neji but I wont be gone long I'm exhausted so once I'm finished ill come home take a nap then I need to talk to Tsunade" Kusabana said looking at Kakashi who nodded.

Kusabana hugged him and gave him a kiss on his cheek.

Neji sat under the tree as light was just starting to come up the first part of the sun was visible when he heard someone talk.

"Its truly beautiful especially after a rain storm all the drops of rain turn Konoha into a shimmering crystal city" the voice said

Neji stood up quickly and turned around and saw her. She was like a angel walking out of the silvery mist the same girl who lived on his dreams all these years. He ran to her and picked her up by her waist and spun around then brought her down and hugged her burying his face in her hair as tears stung his eyes.

"Your back.." Neji choked

"I'm back for good" Kusabana whispered

He pulled away some and placed his hand on her cheek "your not a dream this time. Your really here"

Kusabana smiled sweetly and nodded "Yes I'm really here."

"They kept saying you where dead but I wouldn't believe it, I wouldn't believe that you had left me for good." Neji said

"I thought about you every night I wanted so bad to send word to you and everyone so bad but I couldn't It would mean putting my life at risk. But with that I know now that we can defeat Orochimaru he has taught me and I'm as strong as him if not stronger." Kusabana said with a smile

Neji smiled and nodded "Just answer one question for me"

"Ill answer a million questions for you" Kusabana said

"I know we are only 17 but Kusabana Yondaime will you marry me" Neji asked

Kusabana's eyes widened and her smile grew "Yes Neji a million times over yes, but while I was gone I found out my fathers last name isn't Yondaime it's Namikaze"

"Okay then Kusabana Namikaze will you marry me" Neji asked again.

Kusabana nodded and hugged him again.

Once the sun had fully risen Neji walked Kusabana home. She was going to get rest but that wasn't going to happen. As they got to Kakashi's front door a loud annoying voice entered her ear.

"Kusabana you've returned" The voice said

She looked over her shoulder and there he was running towards them. Naruto his loud announcement caused everyone to hurry out their doors to see Kusabana standing there.

Kusabana groaned "thanks Naruto"

A few short minutes later she was in Tsunade's office.

"When did you return" Tsunade asked

"Last night" Kusabana said

"And befor you cast your judgment on me please know that if I could of sent word I would of, but if my plan was to work I had to totally convenes them that I was 100 on their side." Kusabana added

"And what plan is that" Tsunade asked

"Once I had gotten to the sound village I didn't plan on going in I didn't even realize where I was going but then Orochimaru said he would tell me about my mother it was bait hook and sinker they had me in but then I knew I could use it to my advantage, they wanted me and they wanted me to fight and so they would train me untill they where satisfied and if that be the case I could learn about them and their plans and once I was able to escape and gathered enough information I could return back here" Kusabana explained

"All missions must be brought to me and approved by me first" Tsunade said

"I know that Tsunade-sama but I had my chance right then and there and I could not pass it up." Kusabana said as she closed her eyes and put her finger tips to her for head and took in a deep breath.

"Are you okay Kusabana?" Tsunade asked

"Yeah I'm fine just tired the night that I left I had just finished my final test so I haven't slept in 72 hours and haven eaten very much" Kusabana said as she began to sway some.

"Why what did they have you do that would limit your food intake and keep you from sleeping?" Tsunade asked

"they put me into a forest just outside the sound village set traps up every where and I had to find my way to Orochimaru along the way fighting every single sound 4 member along with Seika, Kimimaru, and Kabuto, and then finally Orochimaru if I could make it threw that I passed……..though my fight with Orochimaru ended in a draw he….he" Kusabana began to sway again and she finally collapsed one of the Neji rushed over to catch her.

Tsunade ran over to her and felt her forehead she was burning up with a fever. Tsunade looked up at Kakashi.

"Has she said anything about being sick?" Tsunade asked

"No I didn't even know she hadn't slept in three days or hadn't eaten much she did travel in the cold rain last night" Kakashi said

"Okay we need to get her to hospital get her on some medication it wouldn't surprise me if she was dehydrated." Tsunade said

Neji stood up with her in his arms and they made their way to the hospital.

It wasn't untill hours later that she woke up. Neji, and Kakashi where sitting next to her Kakashi reading one of his ichi ichi books and Neji was watching out the window.

"Papa your such a perv" Kusabana laughed softly

"These are nothing more than tactic books" Kakashi said looking over at her.

"Says you" Kusabana laughed as she began to sit up some she looked at her arm that had Iv's in it.

"Am I really that bad?" Kusabana asked

"You where really dehydrated and you have the starting of the flue along with a lung infection." Neji said

"Wow and I though it was just a cold" Kusabana said

"Tsunade said she would be back around 3 to cheek on you." Kakashi said

"What time is it now?" Kusabana asked

"2:30" Kakashi said

Kusabana nodded.

Suddenly her door flew open and a flood of people came in. There was Naruto, Sakura, Hinata, Kiba, Shino, Choji, Shikamaru, Ino, Lee, Ten Ten, Gai Sensie, and Iruka.

"Wow how long did it take Naruto to open his big mouth?" Kusabana said looking at everyone

"Not long you know Naruto" Sakura said with a smile.

"It good to see you again Kusabana, Neji really missed you" Hinata said softly

"Its good to see all of you again" Kusabana said with a smile

Akamaru jumped off from Kiba's head down on to the bed, and walked over to Kusabana, and licking her in the face.

Kusabana laughed some and stroked his fur "yes it's even good to see you Akamaru"

"It really was troublesome you disappearing like that they held a funeral for you and everything" Shikamaru said

"Well its nice to see even you missed me Shikamaru" Kusabana smiled

Tsunade walked in and saw everyone crammed into Kusabana's room she cleared her throat.

"Umm I think you guys should go I promise to visit all of you once I get out of the hospital." Kusabana said with a smile

They all nodded as Kusabana picked up Akamaru and handed his to Kiba and waved as they left.

Tsunade cheeked her vitals and her temperature.

"Okay well your iv is empty so you should be okay to leave the hospital but I want you to rest no training for a few days you can get up and move around as long as you feel up to it I'm giving you antibiotics so you don't develop the full blown flue." Tsunade said

"Thank you Tsunade" Kusabana said

"And Kusabana I'm sure what you did and what you had to go threw required you to have a level head and determination and a strong heart the whole time, and probably had to think every step threw down to every last detail. Showing your courage and your ability and your loyalty to you village going threw harsh conditions to gain information that will help I would like to raise your rain to jounin and would like you to become the 6th Hokage" Tsunade said

Kusabana's eyes widened if she became Hokage not only would she of achieved her goal but she would be the youngest person who ever became Hokage, Rokudaime.

"I could be nothing but honored" Kusabana said hardly able to speak

"I can take that as a yes then?" Tsunade said

Kusabana nodded.

"Then we will have the ceremony in 3 days." Tsunade said

Kusabana nodded "Thank you very much Tsunade"

Tsunade nodded "I will tell them you are free to leave." With that Tsunade left.
