Recap:
She charged him straight on. Aiming for his heart as the target and lunged forward. Surprising Kakashi with her combination, at the last minute she switched her stance and spun her sword around to strike him in the side. However, with little effort, the Jounin disappears and reappears behind his opponent. His opponent predicted his movements and was already aiming for Kakashi's neck as she swung her sword. It hit the metal plated gloves that Kakashi wore, while causing an obnoxious chime to ring throughout the forest. Waiting for this opening, he spun around her left side that was left wide open and hit her left shoulder with enough force that a loud crack emitted from the blow.
Chapter 2
"Ahhhh!" she cried out in pain. The force of the blow sent her flying through the air, heading straight for the trunk of a large tree.
Kakashi appeared right behind the young girl and caught her just before she slammed into the tree. Her hood fell back against her shoulders, revealing a mass of golden blonde hair and a tear stained face. Kakashi was shocked to see a young girl that looked to be between the ages of eighteen and twenty.
"I'm not here…to fight you." The girl gasped in between breaths as the pain in her shoulder multiplied.
As Kakashi laid her down on the soft and mud-covered ground, the pain shot through her nerves and caused her to shed more tears. "Gomennasai.(Sorry)" Kakashi replied truthfully. "I didn't intend to-
"No." she interrupted him, while cringing in pain as she tried to explain. "It was…injured before…"
Even though they were under the tree, there was not much shelter from the rain. "The Hokage will see to your injury." Kakashi said kneeling in front of her with his back to her. He motioned for her to climb on. The girl cautiously moved the left side of her body towards him. With one muddy arm wrapped around Kakashi's neck, he helped lift her vigilantly onto his back with his arms wrapped around her thigh. "Hold on tight."
She nodded her head and held on tighter. Kakashi leaped up into the trees, jumping from branch to branch as quickly as he could. The girl squeezed his shoulder with her tiny hand which was wrapped around his neck tightly, but not enough to choke him. Then Kakashi felt her face press between his neck and shoulder telling him that she was hurting. Kakashi thought of something to keep her mind off of the pain and asked the first thing that came to mind.
"What is your name?" he asked her.
"Yuki…it's Yukiko." she uttered her name softly against his neck through clenched teeth and fell silent.
Suddenly, Kakashi felt the weight of her body lighten and her body limp. He glanced towards his right side to find Yukiko unconscious due to the pain. Kakashi picked up the speed and sped through the forest.
