Ch2. Return

Kakashi hopped tree to tree, saying orders to his team, which consisted of Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke. They were all Jounins now, but were still in the same group, and they were in middle of a B-Rank mission, to catch an assassin.

((Yes, Jounins.))

"I see him." Naruto whispered into his microphone.

"Target locked." Sasuke said.

"Target locked." Sakura also confirmed.

Kakashi smiled. "Good. Make sure to watch out carefully. He is a skillful assassin as I heard. He knows a lot of jutsus, and…" He stopped. Someone else had joined the man.

"Done?" It was a female voice. All the Konoha Jounins could see was her hair, which was sticking out from her assassin clothing. She wore black tight shirt and pants from head to toe, covering her.

The man nodded as he handed a scroll. "Done with minor problems."

The woman sighed. "Then, may I ask, are 4 Jounins following you are the problem?"

The man nodded. "Oh, I thought to save the fun. One of them interests me very much." He shrugged, looking around, taking a look at where each was hidden interestidly. "I think he will interest you as well!" He sounded cheerful.

Kakashi and the others froze, their presence was already known! What was so interesting too? "Go in!" Kakashi yelled to his team, he was already known, then why hide? He knew his team was good fighters. He trusted them.

The man and woman both leaped away gracefully from the attacks. "Then I assume you didn't kill the man?" The woman said with acid in her tone. "You failed your mission." She gave him a glare through a mask she wore.

"I still got the scroll!" The other retorted.

The woman only glared through her mask even more as she dodged another attack. It looked like the two weren't even trying to fight. "Orochimaru-sama will probably give you a proper punishment."

Sasuke froze at his name. Orochimaru! "You work under him?" He snarled.

The woman turned her gaze to him. "Oh, an Uchiha?" She said, amusement in her voice when she saw his sharingan eyes blazing at her. "Orochimaru-sama was very disappointed when you didn't come."

Naruto growled. "He's never going over to your side!" Sakura nodded her agreement.

Kakashi opened his mouth. "Ma, let's just say power isn't the only thing in the world." He simply said, still in his fighting stance.

The woman's face turned to him, her golden brown eyes meeting his. She froze for a moment, but said, "This one who amused you, Touya?" She said, turning to the other assassin.

He nodded. "Yup. Amusing, eh?" He chuckled.

The woman only looked at Kakashi once more. Kakashi only stared at her. "Do you know her, Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked, holding the fighting stance. Although he no longer is Naruto's teacher, Naruto insists on calling him Kakashi-sensei, and so does Sakura. Sasuke doesn't use names, however. He calls him "Hn."

Kakashi stared at her, wondering how he was amusing. "What's so amusing?' He asked.

The woman chuckled. "Forgot me already?" She said, looking even more amused.

Her voice, it reminded him of someone. Who? Someone he wanted to see for so long. Who? Someone he wanted to apologize to. Who? Someone who he wanted to confess to. Who?

"Sora…" Kakashi whispered her name.

"Good, Kakashi. I see you didn't forget me yet. But then again, I would be surprised if you forgot me already. After what I did to you and your clan, anyway." She brought her hand to her mask, and took it off, her face revealing to him.

"Long time no see, Kakashi, I see you haven't changed much." She merely said to him, smirking. Kakashi's eyes widened, staring at her. How could it be? She's alive? Working under Orochimaru? The woman raised an eyebrow. "What is this I see? Kakashi, getting pushed by emotions?" She said it all in a mocking tone of voice, the other chuckling behind her. "I thought you said emotions are wastes?"

Regaining himself a bit, Kakashi replied to her, with a dumb answer. "Sora…is that really you?" She had changed so much. The only things recognizable were her black hair that went to her waist, her face structure, and nothing else. She had grown, grown to be a woman, a beautiful woman, but the most changed feature, was her eyes. Her eyes before wore the caring, warm feeling into it, but now, it wore the icy cold feeling into it. She wasn't glaring or anything, but her icy cold eyes made him shiver.

"Of course it's me, who else could it be?" She retorted. "But now, this reunion must come to an end. I'm sorry Kakashi, but Touya and I have to go and report to Orochimaru-sama."

"Wait!" Kakashi yelled, when she turned around. "Were you with Orochimaru all this time?" He asked her, worry in his tone. Was that were she was all this time? With him?

The woman turned her eyes to him, her smirk still on her. "What happened to that never caring for emotions Kakashi gone to?" She asked. "Or did it disappear when I left? Were you so happy that I left that the emotions came out?"

"No!" Kakashi said, now confused. "What happened to you?" He almost said in a whisper. She was now cold, distant, not the one he remembered before! This was all his fault! Because he never accepted her, because he said those hurtful words to her, because he had looked at her with those cold eyes, she turned into this.

"Nothing." She simply said. "I just became what you were before, think of it that way." With that, she and the other assassin disappeared with a puff of smoke.

"Sora!" Kakashi yelled, and tried to grab her. What he grabbed was wisps of smoke, nothing more. "What happened to you…?"

"Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked, approaching him quietly. "Do you…erm, know her?"

"No, really?" Sakura retorted sarcastically.

Kakashi turned his head towards his comrades. "Today's mission failed because of me, I will go report to the Hokage." With those words, he was gone.

"I can't believe he changed so much!" The other assassin was laughing in the woods, walking with his hands behind his back. "I heard the stories you told me about him, how he was cold, and he hated emotions, right? I seen him couple of times when you guys were kids, and…"

"Shut up." Sora snapped, glaring at him.

Touya stopped dead on his tracks, eyebrows raised. "What, are you so surprised too that he changed?"

"No, that's not it. I just don't like to hear his name." Sora said, giving him a glare. "Now, shut up." She said once more, and walked on wards.

"Oh, are you going to say that to the person himself?" Touya said casually as someone else's voice yelled her name.

"Sora!" Sure enough, Kakashi emerged from the trees, panting.

Sora turned her glare towards Touya. "You left a track letting him know where we were going." She accused.

"You were the one who didn't notice." Touya shrugged. "Besides, I wanted to know something else." He eyed her carefully, then to the Copy Ninja. "Sup?" He asked casually.

Kakashi looked at Sora, who was now looking at him, with those cold icy eyes. "Sora…" He said her name once more. "I…"

"I what, Kakashi?" Sra cut him off. "I hate you still ever? I know what you think of me, Kakashi, you don't need to rub it in! Now what, are you going to kill me in revenge of your clan?" She snapped.

"No, that's not it…" Kakashi replied, quite surprised from her reaction. She never did that before. She never yelled at him, or anyone else. Or…did she? He didn't really know her before, he realized. He didn't know anything about her.

"Then what, are you just going to stand there? What do you want?" She glared at him, her hands on her hips. "Are you going to tell me now that everything is my fault now? I know it was my fault that had killed your clan, I'm sorry." She stretched out the last word for sarcasm as if she didn't care. Truly, she didn't. Not anymore, that is. Or is that true? Did she really not care?

Kakashi stepped back, surprised. "Sora…What did he do to you?" He whispered. "What…you changed…"

The man chuckled, looking at him funnily as if he was very amusing. "The question is, what did YOU do to her?"

Sora sent a glare at him. "Kakashi, as I said before, we must get back to Orochimaru-sama." She turned from him. "Do not come near me once more. Well, as if you want to come near me anyway, right? I am the reason your clan was killed."

Kakashi jumped towards her, afraid that she was going to leave again, forever. He grabbed her wrist, and held it firmly. "Wait!" He yelled.

Sora turned her eyes towards him, glaring. "What." She said rather impatiently.

"Why are you working under him?" Kakashi asked her, worry written in his eye.

Sora raised an eyebrow. "Because, he was the one that accepted me as who I am. He appreciated my skills, and actually cared for me, unlike someone." She tried to snap her wrist away from his grip, but his grip was tight. He wasn't letting go. "Let go." She demanded.

"No." Kakashi said. "Not until you hear my say."

"Spit it out, we need to leave." Sora said, tapping her foot. "Hurry now, so I will not get a punishment as well."

"Pft. Like you will. He never gives you punishments. You are like his favorite." The man snorted. "He doesn't like hurting you at all now that you are going to be it."

Kakashi looked alarmed. "It?" He asked Sora, worry in his eyes. He looked at Sora who looked back with cold eyes, making his eyes dance in more worry, fear, and anger to himself. He hated himself now, for what he had done to her.

Sora turned her gaze to him from glaring towards Touya. "Because, Kakashi, I am his next container." Kakashi's grip softened, surprised. Taking this as a chance, Sora looked at him once more with those piercing eyes, and was gone.

"Because, Kakashi, I am his next container." Those words repeated in his head couple of times, as he stared into space. "Why…? Why is she still working under him when she knows that she is going to die soon?" He asked himself, angered.

"Maybe she wants to die?" Someone said with a care-free tone.

Kakashi turned to the assassin he was assigned to kill. "What?"

Touya casually shrugged. "Well, when we first saw her, she was crying her eyes out, poor girl." He chuckled. "She told us how it was all her fault that you had lost your relatives, and how sorry she was, and how she didn't want to go back to Konoha. We, Orochimaru-sama and I were about to go into the village to get her anyway, we thought it was the good opportunity to get her and go. So, we told her that if she follows Orochimaru-sama, and gives what Orochimaru-sama wants to him, in return, he will grant one wish for her." Touya looked at him with a smirk. "Want to know what the wish is?" He chuckled. "You are going to get a laugh out of this."

Kakashi only stared, shocked. It was his fault! If he hadn't chanced her off, she would have stayed as she was before! IT WAS ALL, HIS, FAULT!

Touya laughed once more, carefully looking at him with more amusement in his eyes. "Her wish was to…" He looked at him with a mischievous smile. " Hatake Clans' revival. At least, the people who died protecting her anyway. She really cares about you, did you know? I figured that out because she didn't kill you right now. She usually does, if someone provokes her like that." He shrugged. "That just proves that she is still feeling guilty."

Kakashi opened his mouth to reply, but he had started to speak again, that clogged Kakashi's lungs. "Orochimaru-sama's thinking of going into another body this full moon. That's this weekend. 5 more days to go, eh? He also said that Sora had improved enough to be transferred into." With a mock polite bow, he was gone as well.

((I don't care if any of you say that Sora is a girl, why would Oro be in a girl? But just to say that Soar has a blod line ability thing, plus, didn't Oro have a girl form before? Or was it just me? Lol.))
