Konnichiwa! I'm just here to say that contrary to popular belief, I do not in fact own Naruto :( It all belongs to the great Masashi Kishimoto! Enjoy the chapter! :3
Chapter 3
*Kakashi POV*
I use the Body Flicker Technique to go to the roof of the hospital. I wonder if the girl is telling the truth? Well, we will find out soon enough.
*I, Inu, Tori, Saru, Hitsuji* "Summoning Jutsu!"
*PUFFSH* (awkward sound that accompanies the smoke lol)
"Hey, Kakashi, what do ya need?" Pakkun said
My summons are a pack of Ninken, Pakkun is a small black and brown pug.
"Pakkun, I need you to go to the Intelligence Division and find the Hokage. Tell him that the girl is awake, and we can proceed with the interrogation. And afterwards, go to Asuma and ask if he and Kurenai can stay for a little while longer."
"Alright." And off he ran.
I sit down on the ledge of the roof and pull out my book, starting where I left off. Unfortunately, I couldn't concentrate on what I was reading because my thoughts keep drifting back to the girl.
Why would she go through all the trouble of betraying her village, just to give information to us, the enemy? Why would she leave her family and friends? She does know that she is now considered a rogue ninja, right? She must be a lower level ninja to make such an ignorant decision; there are just too many questions surrounding the whole situation.
My thoughts are interrupted when I see the Hokage, Ibiki, and Inoichi, walking towards the hospital doors. I flicker down to the lobby and wait for them.
One by one, they walk in the building.
"What, Hatake, you too lazy to come get us yourself?" Inoichi joked.
"Well, you see, I saw a black cat –" He cut me off with a smile.
"Whatever."
"Alright, you two. Kakashi, how is she?" The Hokage asked.
"Overall, she's fine. The Girl passed out due to exhaustion and dehydration. However, it seems she has PTSD. She had an 'attack' of some kind last night. Her heart rate went up; her eyes were open and she was crying. Also, her hands were injured by her fingernails. It wasn't pretty. A nurse had to give her some sort of anxiety shot."
"Hmm…Does she know this?"
"No."
We walked in silence to her room on the third floor.
I enter room 368 first, followed by the Hokage, Inoichi, and then Ibiki. The Girl's eyes widened a bit; she must not have been expecting Inoichi and Ibiki to be here. Immediately, she eyed the two, but then she set her eyes on the Hokage. Seeing that as an opportunity, he began to speak.
"Hello, are you feeling better?"
The Girl's eyebrows raised a fraction. She stared at the other two and respectfully replied, "Yes, Sir, thank you. But, you aren't here to talk about my wellbeing, are you?"
Lord Hokage introduced them and then The Girl did the same. The corner of her mouth pulled up into a small smile, and she made a joke about not being able to shake their hands because of the restraints.
"Sorry, it's protocol," I said, surprising myself and apparently her too.
"I understand, but I don't think I caught your name."
"That's because I didn't give it," I muttered.
Lord Hokage sighed and asked me why I didn't introduce myself. It isn't like I didn't on purpose; there just wasn't time. For the most part, she was unconscious and then I had to go inform the Hokage that she finally woke up. Of course, I didn't say any of this out loud, so instead I lean against the wall, stuck my hand in my pocket, and give my name, "Kakashi Hatake."
She gave her name again, "Tenshi Hayashi," but when she says it, she seems deep in thought. Her eyes are squinting slightly and distant. I bet she is trying to place where she heard my name before. 'Copy Ninja Kakashi' is what most other villages call me, but instead she asks,
"Are you by any chance related to Sakumo Hatake?"
What? How does she know my father? He's been dead for almost ten years.
"How do you know him?" I ask, naturally still shocked.
She goes on saying something about how he saved her and some villagers from an attack. She says that he IS an incredible ninja and IS the reason she wanted to become on herself. The Girl must not know that he died.
"He was my father, but he died almost ten years ago."
I hear her intake of breath, her blue eyes widened.
"I'm so sorry; I didn't know." She said quietly.
I said nothing. Instead, I retreated into my thoughts, mulling over this new bit of information. She would have had to have been extremely young at the time. And if she was so young, then how would she remember him?
I decide to ask her later because right now we were heading to the room where Ibiki and Inoichi will do the interrogation.
She seems a bit nervous when looking at the big chamber in the middle of the room. All it does really is hold the person inside absolutely still. She hesitantly walks over to a chair in the center of it and sits down, jumping slightly when it closes around her, leaving only her head exposed.
Her forehead crinkled as she frowns. I muffle a laugh because she looks like she's being scolded.
Inoichi gives her the run down on what will happen; he tells her not to be scared. The face of determination that I saw in the Hokage's office is back when she replies, "I'm not."
Hello again! Tenshi's POV is up next! I'm still not entirely sure if I should keep the double POV's because I'm afraid it may seem confusing... Oh well, I'm keeping it for now! Thanks for reading and please don't be afraid to review with constructive criticism! Ja mata ne! :)
