chapter 3 start!

---In Earlier Years Kakashi was about Eighteen and Alan is Sixteen----

"Hey Kakashi! Kakashi-!"Her smile that was once spread across your face faded, turning into a state of worry.

She closed his apartment door taking a slow step in the jungle-that some nins had discovered to be Kakashi's apartment. Did he even lock his doors? She assumed it was from utter laziness, and the crap around his abode seemed to prove that theory.

He hasn't changed at all. She thought. She had prepared herself to expect something like this but not what was coming up next.

Blood trickled by her feet, she looked up to the source. There was a message written on his wall, the stench of blood made your stomach turn. Maybe your just getting to violent these days.

She took a deep breath and walked farther into the "room." pluuppp! She looked at her foot and shook her head. She had stepped in some sort of strange green go. And I am guessing it made a fart like noise when someone stepped in it.

A little aggravated the female attempted, I quote attempter. (Hang on, let me quote attempted.) "Attempted," that better. She attempted to release herself of the strange goo, but it grasped her foot like a three year old child.

She smacked herself in the face and let out an exasperated, "Ka-ka-shi!" (Never mind yelled.)

Somewhere on the other side of town a kid dropped his ice cream, and Asuma stopped playing with Kurenai. Also an eighteen year old jounin was tied up in a room by the hands of a jealous ninja.

There was no doubt about it she was stuck in the mess, she tried cutting the putty with her kunai. Yanking it with her teeth, katana, and lastly her chakra.

But the putty was a formidable opponent and would not let go just like Gai and his eternal rivalry to Kakashi. "Stupid scarecrow..." She muttered to herself.

The doorknob turned , and then someone unlocked it.

-----time skip to present day (when Kakashi is twenty six and teaching Team 7)-----

Kakashi was lounging against one of the many trees in Kohona, this one in particular was the tree that he would be commonly found reading his Come Come Paradise novels, while the three genin trained. In other words Kakashi sat his lazy ass on the ground reading a perverted book, while three teenagers ran around until there feet let out and fought till almost the point to utter exhaustion. Yes, today seemed like a typical day in Kakashi's book.

(Mind you it was a figure of speech.)

"Fight me, dobe." The raven haired boy said to the exastic blonde wearing the orange jumpsuit.

Great and I was just enjoying one of those good memories again. Kakashi thought in his head, he shook his head and rolled his one visable eye at the young rivalry. Not that I would know.

"I am not a dobe! Bastard-teme!" The young boy said pointing a finger to Sasuke rivalry was struck between the two.

Kakashi looked up from his book to watch the quarrels between the "team." Hadn't he nailed that into there heads enough? He shook his head as deciding something off. Getting off of his butt and onto his feet he put the book in his back pocket and rubbed the back of his neck; watching the boys spar. Teamwork? Did it even exist in this cell?

Kakashi used his telaportation jutsu to stand alongside the cheering pink haired kunoichi. "Yo." He said to Sakura, the female of his team. His hands were in his pockets and concentrated on the two boys.

Sakura turned her head to her teacher, " Kakashi-sensei!" She flinched when he said 'yo', she must have been surprised judging her actions.

He turned his head to the kunoichi a small smile was on his face the only indication of it being there was his eye curving up. "Yes, Sakura?" He bent his head down to meet her eyes.

With a worried look she pointed to Sasuke her face a rosy pink, then putting it back under her chin she said, " Will you make them stop! They're going to far this time!"

Kakashi turned his head to Naruto and Sasuke. Sasuke had just used the Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu ( Powerful Fireball Technique) against Naruto, hitting him with full force. For an odd reason Naruto did not dodge the attack, he did seem distracted for some reason. But what?

Kakashi's visible eye widened as he saw the demon carrier stumbled on the ground, when he tried to take a step or two forward to his opponent. It was evident he had burns. Part of his clothes were missing a part of his hair was black and one end was on fire. (His hair had only a little flame that you could easily put out with your fingers.)

"Ouch." Is what he said when his face implanted itself into the ground.

Kakashi immediately came to Naruto's side wondering how he could be so careless. He lifted Narrate up carefully, making sure he didn't touch the third degree burns on his arms and legs. Kakashi shifted Naruto making it possible for him to carry the Genin with ease. (And to not injure him more.) He eyed the burns and scratched that started to heal at an-inhumane like state. Kakashi could here the loud sound of Sasuke and Sakura running towards there friend.

"Naruto!" Sakura screamed in worry as she reached his side.

Sasuke was on Kakashi's left side as he said, "Dobe, you should have gotten out of the way what were you thinking?" Saksuke said scolding him in his own way.

Naruto stirred in Kakashi's his voice was as loud as a normal person would speak, " I guess I wasn't thinking eh, teme?" The kitsune turned his head towards Sasuke and said, " We're not done yet."

Sasuke smirked at his determination, it was his closest thing to a smile, " Yeah right, dobe."

Kakashi put Naruto down realizing the demon fox would give him most of his strength to him.

Sakura put on a surprised face when Naruto touched the ground with his two feet. He stretched as though he had just awoken from an evening nap.

Naruto smiled a foxy grin to Sakura then to Sasuke and said, " I am Uzamaki Naruto!" He punched the air as he continued with an oh-so familiar speech, " And I will become Hokage of the –" He stopped and opened his eyes when a new voice appeared.

"Kakashi-sama I have a message for you from the Hokage." Kakashi and his students turned there backs from one direction to face Esubi. (Kohonamaru's teacher.) He was holding out a scroll to the copy nin.

He looked from Esubi to his hand and took the scroll. "Did she say what she wanted?" Kakashi asked.

"No, and I am not inclined to tell you anything else.The rest of the information should be in the scroll." His hands were in a formal military position. His arms were behind his back and his right hand was holding his left wrist. Esubi's glasses shimmered in the sunlight. "Good day." He poofed in smoke.

Kakashi unraveled the scroll in his hands, reading it as three curious genins read over his shoulder.

Kakashi's eyes widened as he read the content of the message. His face went from surprised, angry, and even too confused.

He snapped the scroll shut as he directed to the genins there orders, " Training is over, meet me at our usual spot at one o'clock later today." Pausing if there was anything else, "And don't be late."

Before Sakura could retort with a, ' Shouldn't we be telling you that Kakashi-sensei?' He vanished.

"Wonder what's up with him?"

1:00 pm-At the Bridge

Kakashi lazily walked down towards the spot were he told his students to meet. His hands were in his pant's pockets and he walked closer to his team.

There was a faint mist from the warm air and the cold air meeting no doubt, but even with this disadvantage he could still see four figures in the mist. Four people?

Kakashi quickened his pace as he could tell Naruto sitting by Sasuke, no fighting but fixated on the fourth person. He turned towards the fourth person and saw that the person was talking to Sakura. Judging by a giggle on Sakura's behalf the person seemed friendly.

Kakashi walked up to them, raising his right hand to wave he said, "Yo-?" The fourth person tackle hugged Kakashi bringing him to the ground. His back hit the ground with a thud as the fourth person had her arms around him.

He looked her at the face. The person had high cheek boned and an average sized nose, she had dark black brown eyes. Brown and dark red hair like Sabuku no Gaara's came past her shoulders. He knew exactly who this was. Awkwardly he wrapped his arms around her as he leaned to sit up.

He could feel a small smile appear on his face a he tried to look underneath the underneath. Why was she here? "Haven't seen you in a long time," he said truthfully.

Getting off of him and pulling him up to his feet she looked him in the eye for a moment then looked towards the genins. "Same here."

Kakashi patted her on the shoulder, she wore a sand jonin uniform. Her haite-tai (sp?) was worn on her neck, showing off her loyalty to the Hidden in the Sand Village. "So where have you been, crow?" He said.

"Places." She responded vaguely, giving off no hint what so ever to where she had been.

He nodded. Then took a hand out of his pocket and pointed to the new comer and an old friend. Showing off to his students the person he said, "Guys I would like you to meet someone." Kakashi directed this towards the smirking Sasuke, the grinning Naruto, and the red faced Sakura. "Meet Alan."

Me: Sorry about switching around in time places but all willl be explained about Kakashi's missing apartment floor etc. etc. and by the way, Alan's bloodline limit will be mentioned in the next chapter.

Yes Alan with no last name (sounds familiar) does have the Kekkei Genkei. And is one of the reasons why she had to join the Village Hidden in the Sand.
