Kakashi was royally pissed off. First of all, he had been dispatched on an infiltration mission into Kumogakure, got stuck taking pictures of a bratty daughter-in-law of the Lightning Daimyo, been flirted with by several ladies in the court and some guys too surprisingly (and wasn't that a unique experience!), had to listen to a horrible rap concert, and the cherry on the cake was he got stuck with a girly name for a cover. Seriously, what was wrong with him. What in the name of Rikudo senin's mother made him choose that name? Granted, he was panicking when he almost chose the name Minato which wouldn't have gotten unnoticed in Kumo,but still Sukea? Sukea! He might as well have called himself Aiko. And what the heck with the photographer crap. It took him a whole night to figure out the different terms and technics of it. Why hadn't he gone with cooking? He's good with that. At least it would have saved him from that daughter-in-law. But one good thing was that Sukea didn't blow his cover and now he has an in with a chunin named Darui. Cute kid but apologies way too much. But with Kumo border patrol spotting Hound and several jounin after his tail like...well , hounds,he had to get out of Lightning at the fastest pace. Now he's in the middle of a snow storm with very little chakra and about to be buried in an avalanche. Just great.

At least he can finally meet his family, he thought, 'Shut up Ahobito. I know it's stupid to die by an avalanche. Rin , you better keep some headache meds at hand for you and sensei, I'm coming home. Sorry Minato sensei, Naruto will probably miss his Inu ni-chan but he's a kid, hell bounce back soon. He has sandaime sama,Jiraiya sama, and that nice doctor with him. Just don't tell that boryoku onna about anything. I'm just gonna sleep and come to you guys.'

He was suddenly jolted back from his drowsy state by something falling from the tree he was sitting under. It landed 3 feet in front of him in the snow. Then the figure, a woman, started to wave her hand in a strange way and all the snow around her began to form a dome against the rushing snow. A Yuki bloodline? What's a woman from Yuki bloodline doing so far out of Kiri?The civil war must have gotten worse. He gradually creeped up to the lady and held a kunai to her face. Funny thing, she looked irritated at him for some reason and looked like he's the one doing something stupid. Then she just abruptly handed him a squirming bundle and passed out promptly. He looks down at the bundle and it's a kid, Oh shit, shit shit shit, how the heck do you hold a baby again?

After his mini freakout, he calmed down a little and secured the baby by the straps holding it, then paid attention to the woman lying there. She was heavily injured on her back. There was burn marks on her arms alongside frostbite on her fingers. There must have been torture involved with fighting. If he didnt do anything soon, she might loose those fingers all together. He can't let her die, otherwise he'll have to take care of the baby till he gets to any civilization and that's a long way still. He got inside the dome and laid the lady face down while strapping the baby to his back. Got out his emergency blanket and med kit. Cut off parts of her dress in the back and started on the stitches,the knife must have been very sharp to leave such a thin but deep gash. At least there will be not much scarring, apparently kunoichi don't like scarring. After that was over he looked around for anything useful. She didn't have any possession other than a small leather pouch on her neck and a weird small cloth bag in the hands of the child. So he laid the emergency blanket on the ground and,sat down , put her hands and feet near her torso and sat her down on his lap. He kept the baby in between them and his cloak around them. And his spare cloths wrapped around her hands and feet. He tried circulating his chakra to get his temperature higher, but with so little to begin with,he immediately fell into an exhausted sleep.

A bit later, he woke up due to some disturbance near by and found the child fussing with his mother's hair and trying to wake her up. When he noticed that he was awake, it shifted his attention to his anbu mask. Then it was immediately off to, grab the poor anbu's mask and pull on his hair. Children are so troublesome. He can't even scold the brat, he won't even understand. Then right infront of his eyes the boy's hair changed colour and length to match the style of his hair. 'What on earth! How does a toddler use chakra? May be some kind of kekke genkai? But I didn't sense any fluctuations in chakra around. May be a touta,a very sharp and controlled one. What are the odds! A mother with Yuki kekke genkai and a son with a previously unknown kekke touta.'. He tried to disrupt the chakra circulating in the boy's hair but the change was still there. Come to think of it, he can't detect any chakra in the structure of the dome as well. May be the Yuki limit uses very minimal quantity. Then the boy pulled something green and squirming thing out of his mother's hair and tried to put inside his mouth. Kakashi batted it out of his hand and the bug dove inside his discarded armour. Then the brat pouted and started licking and slobbering on his vest. Cheeky thing must be hungry.

As he was musing these things, the woman started to stir. She slowly opened her eyes and blinked at him. Looked down,then back again to his face, or rather his mask, not the anbu one. Then cried something strange and he was thrown backwards while she clutched her baby like a lifeline and scooted back away from him. That attack had no chakra in it and it wasn't a physical blow either. Something's weird here. He immediately got a kunai out and pointed to her throat as he demanded to know her identity and allegiance. Meanwhile she was busy putting the child behind her while pointing a stick? to his heart. Then she gestured to his anbu mask and asked a question of hers. That's when he realised, she wasn't speaking gibberish, she was speaking a different language. He didn't even know there was any different language in the world. From her stance and mannerisms, she didn't feel like she had any shinobi training. He lowered his kunai but didn't stow it, hey, you never know. Then she did something even stranger. She pointed the stick to her throat,said some words, then pointed it to his head. What's she trying to do? Poke his eyes out? Jokes on her, the one she's pointing at is hidden behind his hitai-ate. The sticks not even pointy. But he still had no intention of letting it touch him. Who knows, there may be an odd seal on it or something. While he was feeling amused, a white light shot out of the stick and hit his left temple. Damn it .I shouldn't be so careless near a stranger. He pressed the kunai to her jugular and drew a thin line of blood from there. He demanded her identity,but she simply asked" Can you understand me now?" "Ofcourse I understand you, why wouldn't I?" "Because you couldn't before." Huh?... Oh. Damn!
