After 30 minutes Kakashi came out of Sasuke's room and closed the door behind him. Reko and Naruto watched as Kakashi sat down on a chair in the corner of the room and sighed. "He woke up when I laid him down, but he was way too tired to say anything. I regretted sending him to that academy to handle everything, he's not ready yet." He said. "It's mostly my fault, Kakashi-sensei…I…I just wanted to know it…" Naruto spoke softly. "You wanted to know…what?" Kakashi asked being a little confused. "About my mother." Reko said.

Naruto turned to Reko. "How can you be so patient, Reko? It's your mother, I mean, I would freak out if my father would act like this every time I talk about her…aren't you?" Reko shrugged. "I don't know. He's my father and I love him…whatever's going on. It seems that my father is having bad memories about my mother, and I respect his decisions if he'll never tell me, but then, I'll find out myself." Kakashi blinked confused. "You have to understand that that is too dangerous, Reko." He spoke as Reko started to play with his own shirt. "Maybe."

"Reko, you should go to bed now, you have to wake up early tomorrow, remember?" Kakashi suddenly said. "Ah…right, I'll. Goodnight." Reko stood up and walked towards his and Sasuke's bedroom when Kakashi and Naruto said goodnight.

Reko silently opened the door and walked inside. He watched his father laying with his back towards the door as he closed it.

"He has to go up early? Why is that?" Naruto asked. "New mission. My team has to escort two brothers. Those gentlemen are very rich and we have to protect them." Kakashi explained. "Aaah…okay." Naruto stood up. "I'm going home now….Can you tell Sasuke that I say sorry?" Kakashi nodded and Naruto left. Kakashi walked to his own bedroom.

When Reko woke up by his alarm clock, he noticed his father's bed was empty. Reko hurried to the kitchen only to find his father sitting near the kitchen table drinking tea. Although he looked better than yesterday, he still looked very tired. "Good morning." Sasuke said as Reko walked in and sat down. "Good morning father. Why are you so up early?" Reko asked. "I couldn't sleep anymore." Sasuke answered as he rubbed his eyes with the palms of his hands. "Hmpf! Liar." Sasuke smirked as Reko stood up to grab some breakfast.

Reko made breakfast with his back towards his father. "Naruto-san was very sorry about yesterday." Reko said without turning around. "He shouldn't." Sasuke mumbled. "Father." Reko said softly as Sasuke looked up from his tea. Reko turned around and sat down again.

"Father, I can understand you don't want to tell me about mother…but then…can you tell me why you don't want to tell?" Sasuke stared into his son's black eyes, being a little shocked. Reko was getting to feel really uncomfortable because of his father's stare, but he didn't looked away for a second.

Sasuke sighed as he saw Reko really wanted an answer. He had to think about this for a second and Reko waited patiently. "Reko…Let's say it this way…Your mother isn't a….you know..." Sasuke sighed as he struggled to find the right words, "She's a hateful person…a person without a heart…She's done awful things." Reko has never seen his father like this; although Sasuke's black bangs were covering his face, Reko could see he had his eyes shut and he was shaking. "Father, it's okay…you don't have to tell more…really." Sasuke shook his head. "Reko…I'm so sorry. I must be a horrible father." "NO! You're not! You told me enough, really. Please father, go back to bed." Reko said.

Kakashi was waiting on Reko in front of his house. "REKO! What are you doing! We're going to be late!" Reko closed the front door and hurried over. "I'm sorry Kakashi-sensei! Let's go!"

Tsunada was waiting on Kakashi and Reko as Divine and Magis were already there. She sighed when Divine kept talking about the Uchiha family.

Divine stopped talking when Kakashi and Reko strode in, panting a little. "That's what you get if you live with Kakashi in one house, Reko. Always late…" Tsunada grumbled. "Ehehehe I'm sorry Hokage-sama!" Kakashi said nervously. "SIGH…It's okay. Pack your stuff, you'll do this mission in five days. The two Meret Brothers, the guys you are going to protect, will be waiting at Konoha's gates when you are ready to go. Any questions?" Reko stepped forward. "Yes?" Tsunada questioned. "Who'll be taking care of my father?" Reko asked. "I've discussed this with Kakashi; Sakura and I will take care of him. You don't have to worry." Tsunada smiled. "…Okay…" Reko stepped back.

Ishi and Nin, the two Meret brothers were standing at Konoha's gates when Kakashi's team arrived. Ishi, the smallest of the two, had green hair tied up in a long ponytale. Nin, the longest and oldest, had red hair that looked a little like Neji's.

"Good day, Ishi-san and Nin-san! My name is Kakashi and this is my team; Divine, Magis and Reko." Kakashi said as Nin stepped forward. "Nice to meet you. We're very thankful for your help." He said as Ishi bowed a little. "No problem. Now, Tell me, where are we heading?" Kakashi asked as they started to walk. "Hidden Rock village, but we have to make a quick stop at the Hidden Sound. A friend of ours lives there and we need to drop this." Nin explained while showing a book. "Okay." Kakashi said.

It was getting dark pretty soon, so they planned to sleep in the forest. "Tomorrow we'll arrive at Hidden Sound, until then, take a rest and I'll keep guard." Kakashi said as he sat down.
