Recap: He weighed his options while he jumped from tree branch to tree branch. He finally came upon a decision, as well as the entrance to Konoha. He transformed himself into a girl, about his own age and walked to the gates, calling out, "Please! I need admittance! My friend is very hurt!" Itachi also altered Kira's appearance, slightly, as well.

"State your name," came the guard's voice.

"Itsuki," the name was thought of on the spot.

"And your friend?" came the voice once again.

"Kiriko. Please, kind sir," Itachi's voice strained on that part, " she is very hurt and needs medical attention NOW!"

"Alright. Come in," the guard then gave them directions to the hospital.

When Itachi arrived, the medic-nins took Kira and immediately went into operation, no questions asked, because that was the oath they swore.

One of the operators came out of the room, closing the door behind him. He looked up and shook his head sadly…

Wow long recap huh?

Itachi looked startled for a moment and then a woman next to him cried out sorrowfully, "Not my Kei! No my poor baby!"

Itachi scooted away from the bawling woman and looked down at his hands. He gasped as they started to change from the smoothness of a girl's hand to the roughness of his own. He focused his chakra and changed back. Then he realized that if he had changed…

Suddenly there was a cry from the operating room. Itachi rushed to the window and saw what he had feared. Kira was herself again, herself being a criminal hated throughout Konoha and a missing-nin. There was sounded like a brief struggle and Itachi knew it was all over. One of the operators came running through the door and shouted, "You! Stop!"

Itachi swore and stole one last glance at Kira before bolting.

He made it outside before he heard the shouts of other people. That only provoked Itachi to run all the faster, losing focus on his chakra disguising him. Several shouts could now be for; think about it, a S-class criminal was running through the streets of Konoha.

Suddenly Itachi disappeared in a puff of smoke, leaving behind the very person he swore to protect with his life.

Kakashi and the others had awoken to find themselves back in Konoha, like nothing had happened.

Kakashi heard the news quickly and raced to the hospital before anyone else could. He ran to the secretary and asked where Kira was.

"I'm sorry, sir, but I can't give out that information," she said, shaking her head, motioning for the next person to come forward.

Kakashi glared at the second person and faced the woman again.

"Listen, you don't understand. I NEED to see this girl," Kakashi said forcefully.

"I'm sorry sir, but the girl is to be isolated. Hokages' orders," the woman said.

"I am on a mission for the Hokage," Kakashi lied.

"Oh, well, uh…room 206," the woman said, stuttering.

"Thank you," Kakashi grabbed a map and raced towards 206.

Kakashi knocked and entered the room.

Kira, with bandages around her body, looked up at his entrance.

The first thing Kakashi noticed was that Kira was no longer sixteen, but was once again the seven-year-old.

The second thing Kakashi noticed was that in her purple eyes, the emotion was fear and only fear.

The third thing Kakashi noticed was that Kira was tied to her bed and she had a gag over her mouth.

She cried out when she saw Kakashi. Because of Itachi, she was supposed to feel hatred towards him, but her soul begged to differ.

Kakashi could see that Kira was battling herself. About what, he did not know. He walked over to her and placed a hand on her shoulder, his visible eye showing one emotion: happiness.

He went to hug her and she finally got her gag off, just in time to bite him on the shoulder.

Kakashi cried out and jerked away. "What was that for?" he cried.

"You are an enemy. I live only to kill enemies!" she shouted trying to get out of her bonds to strangle him.

Kakashi tried to remain calm, but his eye betrayed him. Before, the emotion had been happiness, now it was sadness and betrayal.

Kira screamed and Kakashi slipped her gag back on her. She creamed into her gag and Kakashi started to back out of the room.

"Kira…" Kakashi's voice trailed off. He looked once back at the seven-year-old.

Only she was sixteen again. She glared at him and looked away.

Kakashi suddenly sat down in a chair. "I'm not leaving," he declared.

Kira shook her head at him and he knew she was thinking him as a fool. But what he didn't know was that Kira had managed to get a kunai and was slowly sawing her way through the ropes.

It was late in the night. Everyone was asleep, including Kakashi. Kira smiled as she felt the last rope snap. She shook her hands and massaged her wrists. She slipped off he gag and looked around. The room was dark; she must have dozed off for a while. The only other being in the room was Kakashi, but he was asleep in the chair.

She looked down at her body.

Her torso was tightly wrapped in bandages, as was her arms and hands. Her pants had those really uncomfortable hospital pants. She scowled and ripped off all of the injections and those sticky things.

She hopped out of her bed and grabbed her cloak out of a bedside table drawer. Also in the drawer were her regular clothes. She shook her head at the stupidity of the hospital people. She slipped her shirt over her head and over the bandages. She looked around at Kakashi to make sure he was asleep and quickly pulled down the hospital ones and put on her real ones. She then grabbed her cloak.

She was about to exit through the window, but she felt she needed to do something first. She grabbed the rope and quickly tied up Kakashi to his chair. By the time she was done, Kakashi was awake and about to say something when Kira pulled down his mask. Kira then kissed him. Kakashi looked stunned. She took this opportunity to gag him.

She pulled up his mask again, except now there was a thick band of cloth around his mouth. "Just for good measure," she chuckled.

She took a kunai out of her pouch and fingered the sharp point. She looked at Kakashi and then back at her kunai.

Kakashi.

Kunai.

Kakashi.

Kunai.

"You're lucky, Kakashi. I don't feel like killing…right now. But mark my words, if you cross my path again, I will kill you," Kira growled. Kakashi just stared.

Kira crossed the room to the window. She looked at it carefully before opening it. An alarm went off and Kira swore. She stood on the windowsill and saluted lazily to Kakashi before disappearing in a puff of smoke.

Kakashi struggled at the ropes and thought about what he had just seen as hospital personnel ran into the room.
