The Silent Orphan

I do NOT own Naruto

This really hadn't caught my attention. I wasn't happy with the way the first chapter turned out but I guess I should continue it huh?

Chapter 2:

(Recap)

Sasuke PoV

This girl was truely empty. What did she mean, she had no friends and entended to keep it that way? Okay, yeah. She had been living here since she was four, making that eight years. So maybe all of this shouldn't be a surprise to me. The girl was always happy looking. She had no regrets of what she did because she didn't do much but walk around the village. She ignored the one's that called her names. She ignored all the rude comments. And to top it of, ignored all the dirty looks and walked with a permanent smile. Maybe it was the smile that drove people insane. No matter what they did to try and hurt her, she never lost her temper. Okay, last night being an exception. She grows tense around me. Why? Maybe it's the way I act though. I can't blame her.

I just watched her a moment. She felt my eyes on her, easy to tell because she felt un-easy and looked at me. I wanted to just smack her right then and there. She had forced another smile, bowed to us and turned to leave. Kakashi grabbed her wrist. What the hell was he planning?

Normal PoV

"Riley." Kakashi spoke calmly, the smile behind his mask showing in his eye. She blinked.

"Hm?"

"Why don't you, Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke have a four way spar?"

"Oh! I uh...I'm not a fighter. I haven't trained since eight years ago."

"You were a child. And it would do you some good to train a bit now, incase." Sakura smiled at an idea and took Riley's hand.

"Come on. You and I can train." Sasuke just rolled his onyx eyes and Naruto smiled. Riley blushed some. She hadn't gottent this much attention since nine years ago. She agreed to it. The four kids and Kakashi walked to the designated training area. There, all four went into a sparing match.

(end recap)

Sasuke's PoV

When training had finaly ended all of us sat down to catch our breath. I looked over at Riley. She said she hadn't trained in eight years, yet, she was damn well near perfect at fighting. What was up with that? I shook my head and mentaly kicked myself for being so damn curious about her. What was it about her that made me drawn to her? I hit myself mentaly again and looked over to see Kakashi. He was also looking at her. She had him worn out. After a few minutes, Kakashi jumped in took her on. And here he was. The great Hatake Kakashi of the Sharingan, worn out by a mere twelve-year-old girl. There was something about that girl. Maybe I should start hanging out with her more often. Train with her.

"Sasuke?" I looked back up to see Kakashi looking at me. I gulped, unvisibly ofcourse.

"Yeah?"

"Something bothering you?" I felt Riley's eyes on me now.

"Nope." I stood. "Think I'm gonna go beat the hell out of a tree." I walked off. A while later, training was seriously over, meaning it was dark and Kakashi was making us all head back to the village. When Naruto and I returned to the other three, Riley was fast asleep and Kakashi had her on his back. Man, this chick was annoying me!

Kakashi's PoV

Sasuke went to train on his own, Naruto and Sakura went into a sparing match. Sakura got annoyed because he was going extra easy on her, it was funny, and Riley and I went into a sparing match. For someone who didn't train, she was wrather quick and strong. Not to mention the perfect control over her chakra. By the time it was completely done for for the day, she was tired. Exuaghsted is the right word for it. She collapsed and I was going to have to carry her back to the village. I had sent Naruto to get Sasuke and when they got back, without a word, we started to head back. Sasuke's curiousity was showing slightly as he kept glancing at me. More like at her.

"Sakura, Naruto, go ahead. Sasuke, fall back with me." He gave me a glare.

"Why me!" He snapped. Sakura and Naruto were just as curious.

"There's something I want to talk to you about, Sasuke." He glared more and nodded. Sakura and Naruto went ahead.

"What?" He asked when they were gone.

"It just struck me odd you kept glancing at her."

"I want to know how she got so good if she doesn't train."

"There are things we didn't know about you but you brought it to our attention you were capapbleof it without training."

"Like what?"

"Everything almost."

"Name something."

"I can't think right now."

"Kakashi, is there something you know about this girl?"

"Something that I can't tell anyone."

"Sensei."

"What?"

"Never mind."

Silence...

"Sensei?"

"Sasuke?"

"Is she related to you?" I looked at Sasuke and he was looking at me with a curious look. If I told him, would she hear? I wanted to ignore the question, but I knew Sasuke wouldn't let up on me, so I lied.

"No. Why?"

"You two seem to look alike some." I looked at him and shook my head.

"Come on. Let's catch up to the group."

Normal PoV

The five of them reached the village finaly and Kakashi took her back to the apartment place her, Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura were staying at. Laying her down, he walked back out of her room and walked from the place only to come face to face with Sakura.

"Kakashi-sensei." She was nearly startled. He smiled at her.

"Sakura chan. Riley's asleep, so try and make the two boys don't wake her up. She needs her rest."

"Sensei...Can I uh...Talk to you?" Kakashi nodded and followed Sakura.

"I mean, where no one can find us or listen to us outside of the village."

"Sure Sakura." He followed her to the gates and they were let out, only heading a mile into the forest.

"Kakashi, Riley, is there anything you know about her? I mean, anything that will help us get along with her?"

"Nothing to think of at the moment. No one knows much about...Huh?" Sakura was shooting him a death glare. If looks could kill, Sakura would have killed him by now.

"Sensei! You know more about her than anyone, don't you!"

"There are some things that don't need to be discussed, alright Sakura-chan?"

"Fine!" Sakura ran back to the village, ahead of Kakashi. Kakashi followed close behind. When they got back, they saw Riley walking the streets. It was wrather late at night and here she was roming the streets.

"Go home." Kakashi demanded and ran after Riley. Sakura went to chase after, feeling a hand on her shoulder.

"Nuh uh. I think I know why he's like that." Sasuke was looking after Kakashi.

"Huh?" Sakura blinked, confused. "But, Sasuke-kun..."

"I think I know more than he's willing to let even her know. Come on. Let's get home." He grabbed her wrist and dragged her home literaly.

"Sasuke-kun! I want to see what happens! Let me go!"

"Quit it. Let them be." He finaly got her home and in the house. Naruto noted the noise as he walked from his room to see Sakura trying to get out of the house again. He walked up and helped Sauske drag her back into the house.

"Damn. She sure is persistant."

"And you haven't noticed that Sasuke?" Naruto asked. Sasuke shook his had, making Naruto sweat drop.

With Kakashi and Riley, Kakashi had caught up to her and she had stopped, looking at him.

"Hatake Kakashi." She smiled some, a hint of sadness in her eyes and voice.

"Why are you out here so late?"

"He called to me again."

"Who?"

"The one that helped me."

"I did." Zabuza appeared behind Riley. She looked back some to see him and Haku with a smile.

"Zabuza-sama! Haku-san!" She smiled and Haku pulled her into a hug from behind, his arms acting as a shield to protect her.

"How'd you get in here?"

"It's easy, Kakashi of the Sharingan." Kakashi glared at him.

"Let Riley go."

"Is there something you're hiding from the girl, Kakashi? If not, why would it matter if we took her?"

"Leave her alone!"

"You abandoned her, Hatake Kakashi. Even at your age, you should have tooken full responsibility!" There was silence after a gasp from the girl. Haku held her closer, tighter.

"Do not worry young one. We will protect you from now on."
