A/n: Okay...I'm been moving lately so I'm at a big disadvantage with some stuff. Like I've been bouncing from computer to computer and school, and blah, blah, etc. Just try and work with me here. If the chapter sucks I really do apologize. I've been a little anxious lately. (P.S Forgive My Typos!)

Sasuke: Shut up. You are always at some disadvantage. Loser.

Naruto: Don't piss her off. Remember last time?

Kakashi: I think Magic is too sad. (Pokes her) Hey…?

Magic: (glares)

All: (shiver)

Oh…oh…well…listen…I'm enjoying the fact everyone is reading my fic! I love you all so much. I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU!

Naruto: You love your fans more than us?

Kakashi: More than me?

Sakura: And me?

Naruto: Eew, that's just lesbian love right there. Wait, no...That's hot. Really hot. Start making out then maybe I can join and we three way.

Sakura: You

Sasuke: Are

Kakashi: Sick. I've taught you well. I'm proud. (Pats his head)

Sasu/Saku: …Idiots. (Sigh)

Magic: Disturbing much…By the way…to keep this fic within my limit of ten chapters and a prologue some chapters will be longer than others. This is one of those chapters. Get comfy.

Sakura: It's time for chapter four. Enjoy.

Chapter 4-Kazuya Yuki (Questions)

"Don't mess up." Kirara sat down at the table and smiled wickedly to Kakashi. He looked at her as if unfazed by her words, when in fact it made him somewhat nervous…

'She does hate me. I knew it. Still I can't let that get me. Tsunade-sama needs this money for the village. We're already in mild debt. No matter how they treat me I will take it and perform my best. Such is my job.'

Kakashi took seat beside Kirara and sighed. "I was hoping that wouldn't have affect on my work here. I was wrong."

"Very wrong." As everyone else entered and took seat Kirara's eyes studied the teens of team seven. Her eyes narrowed and she whispered to the Konoha jounin. "You are very wrong, Hatake-san. My daughter did not fail to tell me of how you hurt her. As a matter of fact…" Yui sat across from Kakashi with Yume beside her. "When she arrived here she was covered in mud and she had dried tears on her cheeks. After cleaning her up I asked what happened. Despite the length of time that passed before she spoke, she said something to me. Since then…I always had some hate for this Hatake Kakashi man she told me of."

"I see." Yui's cold eyes met Kakashi's sad eye and the man sighed. "Still, that has nothing to do with my mission. Please don't let it be a factor in your judgment of my job."

"…I will give you more than one chance. But if you do fail to do what is right I will remove you and rehire someone else."

"That's fine."

Once everyone was seated and breakfast was served the simple conversation had ended. No one else opened their mouths. The only communication was made by eye contact. Yui found herself glaring at Kakashi most her meal. Yuri saw his sister's cold stares and soon was tired of the frozen atmosphere. He then opened his mouth and said the dumbest thing at that moment.

"So Hatake-san you knew Yui when she was in the village?" He asked. Everyone dropped their chopstick. With an exception to Yume, and Yuri of course.

Yui found her blood was boiling and that her face was as red as her lipstick. Kakashi looked to Yuri with slight anger in his one eye. Yume looked around the room and the kitchen staff was listening on the other side of the door.

"Well?" He asked.

"Yuri…keep your mouth shut." She said behind clenched teeth. "You ask too many questions."

Yume leant over and whispered to Yui. "I told you he was a dumb loser." She looked at Kakashi and smiled slightly. "You don't have to answer if you don't want to." She told the man.

"He sure does. He's works for us and obeys our orders." The blonde man smiled. He was truly an evil bastard. Sometimes…

"…Well...yes." He said reluctantly. At that moment Yui glared death daggers to her brother who sat right of Sasuke. Naruto and Sasuke glared at Yuri as well. He was angering them by provoking their teaching. Sucha manipulate son of a bitch.

"Ahh. Well in what ways were you familiar with her?" He continued.

"That's not your concern!" Yui slapped her hand upon the table causing it to shake violently.

"Let him speak Yui." Kirara looked to her angry and fuming daughter. "And sit down. You know I don't tolerate such manners at this table." She then retuned her gaze to Kakashi. "Go on Hatake-san. Please do say something. I'd love to hear it." She said most pleasantly. Naruto wrinkled his nose to how false she sounded.

"…I'd think, for Yui's sake, it would be best to refrain from continuing this conversation." Kakashi answered. "Excuse me." He withdrew from his seat at the table and exited the dinning hall.

Yui found herself shaking her head in some feeling of guilt. He had looked rather hurt. She lowered her head and soon left the room as well. Every watched as she exited and walked down the hall. 'I can't believe they'd do that…'

Sakura looked to the remaining Yoshimitsu and frowned. "I'm very ashamed of myself." Yume said. "You have hurt him. As our guest Hatake-kun, shouldn't be forced into an uncomfortable situation." Yume looked to the three teens and sighed. "To you three I am sorry. May I please be excused mother?" Yume asked.

Kirara frowned. She didn't want any of her children siding with Kakashi. "Fine." Yume arosefrom her seat and hurried out the room.

"…I really can be a jerk, huh mother?" Yuri asked the woman. He seemed proud of the fact.

"Yes…good job." She smiled back. "If you want to drive our security away!" She then growled. Yuri saw his actions didn't please his mother but in fact infuriated her. "You idiot! How dare you! Keep your mouth closed and out of Yui's business. Anything you go after that is not your concern always, in someway, screws me over. Now behave." Her eyes became icy to the man and he shivered slightly.

"Sorry mother. I—"

"I am done with my meal. Call Kimiko. Have her clear up and prepare for dinnerlater. And tell her I wish for lobster." Kirara left the room and the three Konoha chuunin watched her as she exited. Immediately after her leave they glared at Yuri. So far he appeared to be an idiot and a jerk. The Yoshimitsu were beautiful and troublesome people indeed.


"Hatake—kun?" Yume called. She stood on the other side of the man's door and slowly he slid it open. "Hello." She said somewhat sadly.

"Hi. Yume, right?"

"Yes. I am very glad you remembered. Uh…I wanted to apologize for my mother and brother's cruel behavior just now. They had no right. None whatsoever. Again I am sorry."

"No need for an apology Miss Yume."

"But…" Yume's eyes darted around quickly and returned to her look at Kakashi. "Were you with my sister at one time?"

"…At one time." He said. "But…that was a while ago. So…just don't bother yourself with it, okay?" He smiled slightly. Although Yume could not see behind his ever so famous mask, she knew he was somewhat smiling…and somewhat frowning too.

"Okay then. I'll be off now." Yume turned to leave when Kakashi called her.

"Yume, can I ask you a question? About your father?"

"…" The young girl fell silent and her face became a pale color. "Um…I mean…" She shook her head slighty and before she knew it tears welled up. "I'd prefer it if you…if I never have to speak of my father…Hatake-san…"

"I'm sorry." He knelt down and touched the girl on her shoulder. "Forgive me. I just wanted to know some things. But if you don't feel like telling me, that's okay."

Yume nodded and sniffled a bit. She bit her thumb and mumbled something in coherent. Her eyes looked away from Kakashi's image and quickly to the floor. "…you…"

"Yes?"

"You look like my plush scarecrow." And an awkward silence followed.


A dark image stood in a tree. He had midnight blue eyes, and hair as black as night. He wore a cloak and smiled wickedly as he watched an angry Yui stomp down the hall. "Sweet Yui…" He breathed. He licked his lips and smiled once more. "Don't worry…I'm back. This time...I'll take you with me." He jumped from the tree and hoped unto the roof top. He followed Yui's every step despite him not being to see her.

Yui slid the door shut to her room and frowned. The blonde woman took seat at her vanity and quickly took up a napkin to wipe away the make-up and her recent tears. She picked up a fine made brush, structured from glass. Yui brushed her shoulder length hair; her green eyes staring into the mirror before her. After a minute she then threw her brush to the dark wooden floor. Fragments of the item lay everywhere. Blood trickled down her hand.

"Why would they do that…?" She asked. Her fingers crept over her neck as if looking for something. "Why…would they…?" When realizing nothing was around her neck for her fingers to look for she sighed. For the first time since she left Konoha she realized she no longer had her locket. But why did it cross her mind now? Now after she's tried to cope with everything…why? Why had it suddenly hit her?

The dark man sat in the snow. With his head leant against the wall of the house he smiled. He took a spot beneath Yui's window. "You should know they're cruel Yui. You know just like I do." He whispered.

'Daddy…I find myself less angry…and more saddened. Why? Is this because he's here?' She touched the mirror before her and tears began to well up again. The thin stream of blood on her fingers stained the glass. "Is because he's here when I can't handle it?" Her hands covered her face and she cried. Her sobbing could be heard outside the door of her room. An eavesdropping girl stood to the other side.

"Yui…" Sakura said. She sighed and looked out the window. The snow fell. Still…she felt the same anxiousness as before. Maybe even more.

"Yui…do not worry… I will take care of all your problems. And first…" The dark man looked to the sky. "I'll start with that man from Konoha. Oh Yui," He rose up from the ground and gazed into the window. "you don't have to worry anymore."

"You don't have to worry anymore Yui." Kyoshi said as he stroked the young girl's hair. "Shh…don't cry." The little girl cried in his lap. "Try and be big and strong, for daddy's sake okay?"

"But…why did…why did they have to die?" She cried again.

"Because there comes a time in life…when people go. They were some of those people. Besides…if they didn't help Konoha defeat the Kyuubi then we'd all be…someplace else now."

"…Yuki-kun is so sad now. Both his mom and dad are now… gone! He'll be so sad he'll never speak to me again!"

"Yui…don't worry anymore….because…I'll take care of Kazuya now."

"What?" She looked into the man's eyes and he wiped away her tears.

"From now on…we'll care for Kazuya-kun, okay?"

"…so he'll be here with us? From now on…?"

"Yes. Don't worry anymore Yui-chan." Kyoshi hugged his daughter whose tears landed gracefully upon his robe. "Okay?"

"…Okay."

Kazuya Yuki stood outside and smiled. "Don't worry…" With that he simply vanished as if never there. No footprints left in the snow, or any other trace. Nothing could be detected. Nothing could be found. It was as if he existed as a man who was like shadow.

Yui's arms were spread across the vanity table. Her hand rested against her arms. She slept in result of her cries. In her head memories of her father played. On her cheeks, tears that seemed like crystals slowly slid down. Such pain and sadness as a result of a broken heart and the long time it would take to mend it.


"Well…how is Yui-chan?" Naruto asked as Sakura entered the boys' room. "Is she mad still?"

"No, she was…she was crying. I think Kakashi-sensei being here hurts her, just as bad as it does him. I worried about them both."

"…Yeah…I mean…what went on in there was way out of order. Besides, I didn't get to finish eating being that they cleared out the dining room soon after."

"I told you both that it's not our place or concern. Leave it alone. Kakashi can deal with it in his own way. Or maybe not even bother with it at all." Sasuke said. He lay in his bed and sighed. "Our mission is to guard the family, not pry into Yui and Kakashi's love life."

"…We know." Sakura said and sat on the end of his bed. "I just can't leave them though. I mean I care about Yui a lot, and I'm really worried about Kakashi-sensei…are you sure they'll be okay?"

"I never said they' be okay." He got up and walked towards the window.

"…Sasuke you didn't need to say that."

"You need to understand what I say when I say it. It makes everything easier. I don't have to repeat myself that way."

"You've been a real bitch lately Sasuke." Naruto walked towards him and glared.

"Okay now you guys stop." Sakura stepped in between the two males and pushed them a distance form another. "You guys, let's not fight about this."

"I wasn't going to fight him, just set him straight."

"That's enough Naruto!" Sakura yelled. The two boys glared at another with fire in their eyes. Sakura sighed and crossed her arms. "You two are really childish, you know that. I mean what is there for you to fight about?"

"You." Sasuke responded. He looked at the girl and Sakura felt her cheeks change color.

"What…whatever. Ugh! Sometimes I can be around you guys!" She stomped out the room and Naruto smiled.

"She's sometimes like Yui."


Kazuya Yuki walked along the roof top of the Yoshimitsu home. He looked into the white colored sky. He loved the snow…just as much as he loved---

He frowned when an older man appeared behind him. "Want do you want?" Kazuya frowned and turned to the grey haired male. With his dark eyes he glared at him, hoping he'd get the idea to leave.

"We have a heist tonight. You're coming this time, right?"

"No. I never go. I'm only here for Yui."

"All you do is watch the girl. You need to be with us so that we can rob this place clean and vanish. I've got information on Gatou's son." (A/n: Remember the guy who hired Zabuza? Right? Try and remember despite the fact that was like…a billion years ago.)

"I don't care for your wants. I'm here for my wants. Don't you ever forget that."

"You hold too many attachments to this place. Stop being sentimental. What happened to the cold blooded murder that killed Kyoshi? Have you left him behind?"

"Watch your words."

"We came here years ago to take all the values this place had to offer. We failed when we tried. Then you came along. Angry and depressed you gave yourself to us. We trained you and made you our best man. After all that we came back and were ready to destroy all this after taking everything. We killed Yoshimitsu Kyoshi! You killed him! And you stopped it...you threw off our whole operation because you saw that bitch crying. Sometimes I wonder."

"Keep doing that, then. I'm still not coming with you tonight."

"Fine. But you know when the time comes to take this place," The older man stomped his foot against the paneling of the roof. "You better be ready. With your whore or not."

"That won't be easy with those Konoha-nin. You've seen them."

"Then I guess you should hurry and get her now." The grey man vanished and Kazuya frowned.

"Don't interfere Yachi." He muttered.


As the afternoon quickly approached Kakashi found himself walking around the house. He looked around and observed the numerous paintings on the walls, and images of the family. They seemed to be a very egotistical bunch. Or maybe it was just Kirara forcing them to be.

He found himself staring at one particular image. A long and narrow hallway. On the wall was a ceiling to floor, life-sized painting of Yoshimitsu Kyoshi.

In his arms he held a new baby girl, and to his right was Yui. Yuri stood proudly to his father's left. The illustrious image of the man and his three children could tell the entire world who he was.

"I see you found my father." Yuri said and walked towards the silver haired man.

"Yes. And a young version of yourself. You all look just as he does."

"We think Yui looks like him most." Yuri stood to the left of the painting and leant against the wall. He reached in his pocket and pulled from it a cigarette and a lighter. "It's about that time of day."

"I understand."

"This morning…I'm sorry for my behavior okay. No hard feelings right? I was just….well…"

"It's fine."

"Okay then. I see. I mean all I was doing was just messin' around. I like to fuck with Yui's head. It's funny." He placed the cigarette in his mouth and lit it.

"…Yes, it is amusing."

"She said you use to irritate her all the time."

"I did. Only because she appeared rather beautiful when she was angry."

"Can I ask you why?"

"Why what?"

"Why you broke up with her. If you were here when she returned you'd feel he utmost sorrow for the girl. I mean….I had only seen her break down like that once. It was when dad passed."

"…"

"But, you're not obligated to answer. That's your choice you know."

"I'll tell you as man to man. A man who cares about Yui like I do. I wanted to protect her."

"So you hurt her?"

"Sometimes that is the only choice.

"…Yeah. I guess…I feel I can trust you to keep us alive. You seem like you do care."

"All this from short a short conversation. You're---"

"My father trusted the woman who is your Hokage now. As his son I can trust one of her best."

"You all are quite a group." Kakashi nodded to the man. He slipped his hands in his pockets. Kakashi then looked up to the image on the wall once again and sighed. "Really you all are."

"Well...that's it?I know you have more to say."

"Could you tell me about your family? About your father."


Yui awoke from her spot at her vanity table. She looked at her surroundings and saw the floor around her had broken glass. She looked into the mirror and saw it was stained with dried blood. She looked at her own hand and saw there was dried blood there as well. Yui gently touched the open cut and jumped a bit to the pain. It stung. A knock was heard at her door.

"Come in." She said.

Sakura slid open the doors and entered the room. "Good Afternoon Yui." She greeted. Sakura looked around the room and saw the glass and blood. "Oh, what happened?"

"I had a moment."

"Okay. Um...are you hurt?" Sakura cautiously walked across the floor as to avoid stepping in the glass. You showed her hands and Sakura sighed. "It's just an open cut. I can fix that." Maybe you should get the maids to clean it up."

"No, its fine. I'll get it all. It's my fault."

"No…that's okay. I'll do it. You shouldn't clean it up with your cut."

"Thanks." After the mess had been cleared Yui sat in her bed while Sakura wrapped a bandage around her hand. The two had been silent for the while and conversation broke out when Yui said the most unexpected thing. "How has Kakashi been, Sakura?" She asked.

"Huh? Kakashi-sensei?"

"Yeah. Since I…since I left…"

"Oh…well…he's okay. Since you left he talks less. And…well we all are really busy so we don't see each other unless it's for a mission. We all have been rather distant lately."

"You and the boys?"

"…oh…we're okay…sometimes."

"Have they fought over you yet?" She asked abruptly.

"What?" Sakura turned a slight shade of red when Yui asked. "Well…not really…."

"Oh. If not yet, they soon will. I can tell by the way they look at you. Sasuke was really eyeing you during breakfast. More like he rather eat you than what was in his plate." She smiled weakly.

"Oh…well…you shouldn't say those things!" Sakura pouted. "So...what about you? How have things been going?"

"…I've haven't been this upset in years. Kakashi really wounded me. I…"

"You still hurt."

"Yeah."

"Yui...do you still…do you still love Kakashi-sensei?"

"I…I don't know."

A/N: Don't hate the Yoshimitsu, please. And no! I will not surround the fic around my O/c. This is a romance for Kakashi. Now that all the familiarities are out of the way things will get better. You've met the villain, I'm slowly unraveling some stuff…you know…REVIEW! Next chapter tensions more than increases between Yui and Kakashi when ---

Naruto: If you tell them it'll suck.

Sasuke: Pretty much.

Sakura: Keep from saying too much.

Magic: FINE! Just review guys. Gimme some ideas for Yui and Kakashi to get involved in a fight and let's see how the next chapter goes! LATER DAYS! By the way, my updating days depend on hard school become for me. Right about now I got like three papers and a book to read, a presentation on the 28th and my birthday the 25th a stupid dinner party to plan for this occasion(no its not Thanksgiving, but soon after)…so…don't hope for me to write so much. That and I hate my new living space….anyways…

Naruto: BYE! Don't listen to her anymore and go! Just…run! Don't forget to review. See you next time.
