A/N-Here's the one-shot!
Stolen
Summary-The reactions of the girls when they find out that the mirror is gone….and a little insight to why Tsunade did what she did.
Disclaimer-I don't own Naruto
She buried her face in her hands. "You don't understand." She said in a desperate voice to the council. "The one who still remains in the other world is an anchor for two of Konoha's best Kunoichi. I doubt they will fight if something happens where they don't have that anchor anymore." "And you've used that excuse for the past 2 years Tsunade-Sama. We understand that the girl who remained behind…"
Tsunade interrupted the council member "Don't just call her 'the girl' like she's just a normal Kunoichi. This girl has remarkably honed senses and she is an Uchiha. She is a remarkable ninja." "That may be Tsunade-Sama. However we, the council, have voted on it and have decided…as long as the mirror remains accessible to some, all could access it. It is a threat to the people of Konoha and we, for the safety of the citizens, wish it to be removed." He finished in a voice that broke no room for argument.
"Seyann and Mika are getting married tomorrow. Can we hold off removing the mirror until then? Michelle is supposed to visit, in order to be a bridesmaid." "No Lady Tsunade, we want this done tonight." Another council member spoke up. "I am also of the opinion that the girls should sever their ties with that world…they belong here now. Kakashi-san is in line to be our Hokage after you die…he cannot have a wife who has part of their life based in another world…she needs to be close to the citizens of Konoha…and it wouldn't be fair for him."
The force of the entire council left the Hokage with no choice. That night, a small group of trustworthy ANBU helped her move the mirror to a location where it would be hidden. Tsunade stared at it for several minutes. Turning abruptly on her heel, she left the room, only pausing once to look back and whisper, "Forgive me Michelle…"
With that, she shut the door and walked away.
The next morning, Mika and Seyann walked into Hokage tower, both of them blushing and giggling, looking forward to that day when they were going to be married. As they climbed the stairs to the mirror room, they bantered back and forth about little details that had yet to be arranged such as how they were going to wear their hair, make up, nail polish and the like.
Walking into the room, they were still chatting and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary…yet. Until they turned to see if their friend was there yet…
And they only saw a wall with curtains on either side.
"Where…. is it?" Gasped Mika, horror struck.
The girls burst into the Hokage's office with tear streaked faces and panicked eyes. "Tsunade-Sama it's gone!" said Mika frantically. "It's gone…" "What's gone?" asked Tsunade, a little guiltily. The girls, in their panicked state, didn't notice.
"The mirror. The mirror's gone!" Said Seyann. "What?" Said Tsunade in a well-rehearsed panicked voice. "I'll get a couple ANBU on it right away." Right in front of them, she summoned the ANBU in and gave them their mission. "Find the mirror. It's extremely important you do-as well as being important to these two people, it is something Konoha is supposed to protect."
The ANBU were gone in a flash.
The girls held off on the wedding for several days, in hopes that ANBU would recover the mirror and their friend would be able to come to their wedding. However when several days turned into a week and then two, they could delay it no longer. The two were married to Gaara and Kakashi…without their closest friend present.
When the months turned into a year they were forced to accept the truth. Whatever had caused the mirror to vanish…wasn't going to give it back. They had lost their friend.
And so, they went on with life. Oh they missed her and whenever Mika came from Suna they would relive old memories about life before the mirror, when they were simply Sey, Mika and 'Chelle…
They never forgot their friend.
A year and a half after the mirror vanished"Promise me Kakashi." Rasped the Fifth. The Copy nin leaned close to Tsunade's head and said "Promise you what?" "That you will never…" she paused and had a coughing fit before continuing "That you will never tell anyone…not even your wife what I am about to tell you." Kakashi nodded and Tsunade continued. "The mirror…never went missing. The council…thought it posed a threat…and they had me remove it to a safe location where no one but high-ranking ANBU and myself could get to it. Now you will be the only one who can access it."
Tsunade reached out and took his hand. "I'm hoping that this isn't true but…you've gotten closer to Seyann since she lost contact with Michelle right?" Kakashi shook his head. "No…it's not true. We're as close as we were when she could talk to Michelle."
Tsunade smiled. "Then I'm glad…he was wrong." She murmured as her eyes slid closed and her hand that was holding his went limp.
Kakashi bowed his head, alerting the ANBU standing guard in the room of the death of the Fifth.
Thus Hatake Kakashi became the Sixth Hokage, forced to keep a heart breaking secret from his own wife-one that, if she ever found about it…odds were against him that she…would leave him.
While this happened…in the other world…the female Uchiha grew colder with each passing day…becoming less the girl they knew and more a cold-blooded killer.
Both of the parties involved doubted they would ever see the other…again.
Their friendship…had been stolen away.
A/N-There ya go. That's why Tsunade had to take away the mirror…why do people usually give to Peer Pressure?
