Lost Soul

Chapter 2: Reunion

You walked silently through the quiet hallways, loud echoed footsteps could be heard. As you walked, memories started to flow into your mind. Good times, bad times, you've been through all of them before…but the past had already past.

There, as you gazed outside from one of the windows onto the empty clearing of a field, where 3 logs stand tall. The memory that was so pleasant now just leaves a deep scar in your heart.

Flashback

"Can't I go home already? It's already past sunset!" you whined, pleading the blonde haired man standing in front of you.

The blonde sighed. "You haven't completed the jutsu yet. When you complete it, that's the time you can go home," he lectured, placing his hand on his hips. "Come on, let's start over,"

You whined louder. "I'm tired already! Can't you let a 15 year old year girl rest!"

"No means no. If you want to get home early, then start training now,"

"Please!"

"No"

"Pretty please!"

"No…" he sighed again.

"B-but! I'm ti-…"

A pair of hands cupped your cheeks as a pair of soft lips suddenly brushed against your forehead. A feeling that is so warm begins to light up in your heart. It's true that you had a crush on him, but…you never knew that he would do this.

"Yo-yondaime-sama?" you blushed furiously.

Yondaime backs up and chuckled lightly, a wide smile spread across his face in a kiddish way. "Now get on with training kay? Anyway, you're really blushing you know," he laughed out loud.

"W-what! Yondaime-sama! You're really mean you know!" You pouted turning your back towards him trying to calm your nerves down. You stared at the grassy land below your feet. "Maybe…he doesn't feel the same as I do…" you whispered sadly.

End flashback

Tears began to stream down your face freely as you continued walking towards your destination. "Forget…I have to forget all of it…" you thought. You took your hands and rub your eyes, whipping the tears off from your face. "I can't let this bother me…"

A sliver glimmer had caught your attention; you glared at the grand silver door right in front of you. There's a ninja standing guard of the respective room. You nodded in greeting and you forcefully smiled at him hoping that he would not notice the swollenness at your eyes. The ninja nodded in respond and opens the door for you to enter. A creak sound echoed through the quiet hallways as you entered the room.

Elsewhere…

"Hey, Kakashi,"

"Hm?" He said without taking his eyes off his perverted book.

"I heard that the 4th's successor is here. She just arrived this morning," the jounin with unique hair and green jumpsuit said.

"The 4th's successor? Ohh, she's back huh," he replied lazily.

"Yes, later the jounins' and chunins' planning to go see her later, you're coming?"

"Nope, I'm busy later," Kakashi said as he closes and keeps his book into one of the pouch. "I'm leaving, see you later Gai,"

"You're busy later? You're so hardworking! What youthful energy! That's why you're the only one suited to become my rival!" The jounin call Gai said giving a thumbs up pose.

Back to you…

A fully furnished room came into your view. Royal red curtains, navy blue carpets, ancient scrolls framed neatly, polished tables, everything. You heard the door behind you closed as gazed at the main objects of the room, 4 photo frames neatly arranged on the table. You whispered their names one by one, telling them you had come to visit them. As you whispered the 3rd's and the 4th's you pause for a sec and you glanced at their photo. Your face saddened as you remembered their deaths. The 3rd's sudden death, killed by the snake of the Sound Village. Your hands curled up into fist by the thought of him. Hatred and Regrets began to fill your mind, that you should have killed him while you got the chance or you should do something at that time. "It won't change anything if you had been there," a voice said.

Letting your hands loose, you glanced at the direction from where the voice came from, you stared at him with your dull grey eyes. "I know…you don't have to tell me that, Kakashi-kun,"

Kakashi just smirked as he buried his nose to his book. "You're getting rusty already…anyway why did you come back?"

"I guess I just miss this place," you giggled.

A sudden shock of pain suddenly ran through your left arm. Wincing slightly you grab your left arm, hoping that it'll stop and that no one notices it…but…

A hand suddenly grabs your shoulder in a gentle way. "You okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine, it's just muscle cramp," you force yourself to smile, so that he won't bother to ask anymore. You stared at his eyes, wondering what was he thinking at then again, because of his mask no one could ever know what his thinking. Kakashi lets go of your shoulder as you walked closer to the 3rd frame standing. You kneeled down in front of it and clasped you hands together, praying a silent prayer. You can feel Kakashi's stare on you, but you never really bothered about it.

A pause trigger for a sec as you stood up. You looked up and glanced at the photo. Your hands reached out for it, touching the cold metal frame. Actually, deep deep down, you've really wanted to cry out loud, just to release all the pain that is now trap in your heart, but how could you, you promised yourself never to do that anymore. You took a deep breath calming yourself down, so take all those emotions could not take over you.

"What are you going do now?" the masked jounin asked.

You chuckled as you walked towards the door, turning the knob you said, "You said that I'm rusty eh, I'm just going to go warm up a bit so that we could spar later. You should call your genins too, they could see how their sensei fight," with that, you exited the place without giving Kakashi a chance to replay.

Kakashi sighed. "This could be troublesome," He glanced at the flower you left on the table; it was a beautiful white rose. "Maybe I should take back what I said," with that he left the room.
