Let this chapter unfold…

(Flashback: "Taya…" Kakashi's body began to shake.) The Elemental Kunai Knife lesson was learned, and Kakashi was proud of his daughter, Taya, but he wasn't this time. After he demonstrated the hand seals, he looked at her to see that she followed. Her eyes weren't their average purple color, they were red now.

"This…can't be happening… The Sharingan…" that was all Kakashi could say.

"I feel it. The Sharingan is in me…" As soon as those words came out of her lips, she fell to her knees.

"Damn… I just don't get it. There's no way this could happen. I wasn't born with my Sharingan and Kyoko wasn't a member of the Uchiha Clan, I'm sure of it. Why does Taya have it!" At this point Kakashi just wanted to kick himself. Knowing that he couldn't, he picked up his unconscious daughter and poofed her to her room where she could rest. For a while all he could do was sit at her bedside and think to himself.

Taya was never able to sleep soundly at night. She would always see strange dreams that were about the way of the ninja, but she never understood what they meant. Often she would shiver in her sleep, which made her roll around uncomfortably. Kakashi would always be able to sense it but he never knew what to do besides pull the blanket over her whenever she kicked it off. When Taya awoke, she found her father sitting beside her, asleep. She tried to sit up slowly, but when she got halfway up, she fell back down with a thud. This woke up Kakashi.

"Erg, you really shouldn't be trying to sit up," Kakashi's eye was still closed.

"And you should be in your own bed," Taya groaned.

"Will do," With a wave of his hand, he poofed out of the room.

"I don't understand this. This makes no sense whatsoever." Taya thought as she stared at the ceiling. "What is Sakura-Sensei teaching today? What am I missing? What are Kado and Rinji doing without me? Do they miss me? What will those annoying brats do without Kakashi today? What is wrong with me; why don't I ever call him Father or something?" With a million questions in her mind, she began to feel dizzy and fell back to sleep.

Meanwhile, Kakashi gets some long-deserved sleep. He didn't really care about his team. They slightly annoyed him. Once he taught Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke, no team was ever better than them. "They won't miss me," he yawned and tucked himself into bed.

The next day…

After sleeping a whole day away, Kakashi and Taya were on their normal schedule again, well, almost.

"Do you have any idea what happened?" Kakashi said as he stared at his daughter as she was drinking her tea.

"I have a slight idea. I didn't understand why my kunai knives were covered in elements, so I really wanted to learn why. When showed me, I paid a lot more attention than I usually do. Before long I felt my eyes tingle as I watched you." Taya put her tall, handle less tea cup down and stared at it.

"I get what you just said, but what I don't get is that the Sharingan would activate a time like that." Kakashi didn't know what to do, so he also stared at the cup.

"You told me all of your secrets. I know that your Sharingan was implanted, that's why you only have one that works all the time. What worries me is why I have it. She wasn't a member of that clan, was she?" Taya wrapped her hands around the warm cup of tea.

"No, Kyoko was not part of the Uchiha clan." Kakashi turned away. "She never calls her parents by their titles. It's odd."

It was still early and Taya didn't have to meet at the academy for another hour or so. "I'm going to practice. And don't worry; I'm going to try to keep the Sharingan from getting out of control. Besides, this isn't serious," Taya smiled at hr father and stepped outside. She just really wanted to be by herself.

Kakashi was about to say something, but decided to keep his mouth shut. "She's my daughter; I should be able to trust her." It was still early for him too, so he pulled out his book once more and read it.

Outside, Taya pulls out her trusty knives and closed her eyes. "I remember the seals perfectly…" She could perform seals faster than anyone her level, so she quickly did the lightning element. "Ryu, Usagi, Tori…" As soon as she finished, her hand glowed yellow. "I have to hurry…" Quickly she grabbed one knife out of its holder and threw it at a thin tree. It pierced the tree and stopped glowing. That moment Kakashi walked out to check on her.

"Well, you mastered the lightning one pretty quickly," he said as he turned to look at the tree. The trunk had split in half and bent over. He stared at it. "So, she grew just a bit. Every step counts." He turned back to look at Taya. "Well, I need to run some tasks. Keep practicing!" he winked at her and poofed away.

Taya just sighed and did as she was told. One by one she did each jutsu. "Imu, O-ushi, O-hitsuji…" After her hand turned blue, she aimed for a shallow part in the pond. Once it hit the surface, it froze. Taya walked over and yanked it out to use again. "The fire jutsu should thaw everything out. Uma, Ousu-buta, Tora…" She could see her hand turn red as she threw the knife at the pond once more. The flames melted the water instantly. Everything was perfect in her eyes, so she picked up her knives and practiced a new skill. "Poofing is boring, so I'll make it more fun for me." She used the rat hand seal and closed her eyes once more with a smirk on her face. She always felt that she had more chakra when her eyes are closed. A stream of wind blew purple leaves in a spiral around her, and she disappeared.

At the Academy…

Kakashi looked down from the tree branch he was sitting on and reading his book. The flowing purple leaves caught his eye. There appeared Taya, looking up at him.

"Nice trick Taya. I'm proud of you," Kakashi jumped down put his arm around her shoulder and patted her on the head. She smiled at him, her eyes bright. "I'm guessing that the elements were working well for you today?"

Taya nodded and turned her head to see that Rinji was standing waiting for her. Kakashi just jumped back up onto the branch and continued reading, letting Taya leave with her teammate. She was glad to see Rinji, so she smiled at him. She gave her father a final nod and left with Rinji to go to the forest to meet up with the others.
