A slightly shorter chapter, cause you know, I kinda forgot about this story. (Hides behind nevermore)
Hope you all enjoy!
Chapter 3: You're Family Now
Rin
The first memory of Rin in her second life was looking into the dead eyes of her mother. Morbid even by the standards of a bloody Anbu (暗部:spy department/Black-ops), but nothing new to her.
What really scared the living shit out of her was when she found herself being currently sniffed at by a humungous four-armed gorilla with bone armor and glowing red eyes. It was the most demonic thing she had ever seen and by far one of the most bizarre.
She knew at that very moment that she was going to die. Somehow, she was stuck inside a baby and about to get mauled by a four-armed demon ape to death. The thought was so surreal she giggled despite the dire situation.
Then, a scream of fury, a blast of silver light, and the ape turned into a gray statue. It stood there for half a second before it crumbled away.
A woman flashed before her eyes in a flurry of white petals and scooped her up into her arms. She was dressed in a white cape and black combat gear, and her eyes were a dull silver that emitted a faint glow. Tears streamed down from those beautiful eyes as she sobbed, hugging her tight against her chest.
"I'm sorry...I'm so sorry...auntie Summer is here now...I'm sorry...I was too late...!"
She kept mumbling the words sorry over and over again like a mantra, before she abruptly stopped and collected herself, reigning in her grief.
"Thank you...Rin. Thank you for staying alive...!"
She gazed into her eyes with deep affection, one that only a mother could show.
"I'll look after her, Solace, Giohn. I swear it. I will care for her as my own. I promise."
With one last sniff, she beamed down at the still shocked Rin. She tickled her chin with a chuckle.
"Your name is now Rin Rose, and you are my daughter."
With those words, Rin gained a family.
Kakashi
Kakashi Schnee was a perfectionist.
Be it when he was young or on his deathbed, he was always nothing but vigilant. Well, he did take on some rather...questionable hobbies, such as binge-reading stories for men of culture, written and published by a certain toad saint who had an awful habit of breaking the law via peeping, but that's beyond the point.
Being one of the youngest anbu to ever graduate and thrive, he played a major role as the Hokage of Konoha and died peacefully of old age, despite participating in a very active role in the fourth shinobi world war.
And by very active, it meant fighting in the front lines where reincarnated crazy old men with eyes of god screamed vengeance, getting a very heated welcome from an old teammate he thought dead, then nearly getting killed by a black sludge and a moon rabbit goddess...who apparently wanted to feed on humanity via a gigantic alien tree.
He honestly had no idea where the shinobi world had gone wrong.
To be frank, he had enough turmoil and crazy to last several lifetimes. That was why, when he closed his weary eyes for the last time, he was secretly relieved by the fact that he was finally able to rest in peace. But apparently, like almost every single obstacle that has been hurled into his life, fate seemed to get a knack out of fucking with him.
So there he was, inside his white palace, with a teary-eyed girl beside him. Why did this shit always happen to him...? Karma was bullshit and he knew that from experience.
"Kakashiiiiii...you promised to play with me..."
The girl sniffed, tears threatening to spill from her big ice-blue eyes. Kakashi slowly closed his eyes, counted to three, and opened them with a gentle smile.
"I'm really sorry...Jacques-father ordered me to take care of some...insignificant matters. I promise I'll make it up to you, ok?"
The girl looked down at the polished marble floor, her reflection slightly blurred by the few tears that splattered against the stone.
"...really? You'll really take me to the woods?"
"Absolutely. Here, pinky promise!"
The girl sniffed but still held up her little finger with a watery smile. She was so damn adorable Kakashi almost hugged her on the spot, though he refrained with his iron will.
...Oh, who was he kidding. He's gonna hug the shit out of this cute doll.
"Mmn. Be back soon!"
"As you wish, princess Weiss. As you wish."
Weiss nuzzled her head into his chest. If only that blasted father of his didn't order a spar between Winter and him just to 'entertain' his guests...that show-off two-faced money-loving politician.
Ah. Wait. An accidental jab up his father's ass with a stray bullet of ice dust might do the trick. It will only be an 'unfortunate accident', after all.
His father's favor? Oh, who was he kidding? He was a half-breed bastard of a Schnee after all. His name proved that. Better show him his vulgar lowlife bastardy heritage before it's too late.
Kakashi eye-smiled as he pulled up his face mask and covered the lower part of his face, his mismatched eyes twinkling merrily. One red, one blue.
Oh...the few joys of being a child once more...
Jacques is gonna receive the 'Naruto Ass Treatment' and Wiess adores Kakashi as her 'Onii-sama'. Rin was Summer's niece and was adopted by Summer after a Grimm attack.
