Chapter 4

*Kakashi's POV*

Inoichi put his hand on Tenshi's head and closed his eyes.

"Right, Ibiki, I'm ready, how about you Tenshi?" She gave a slight nod. She has closed her eyes as well.

I am interested in the results of this interrogation. I glance over at the Hokage; he has taken a seat in the back of the room. Instead of joining him, I walk over to Ibiki and sit on the table.

He gives me an annoyed look because it just so happens that his notes are also on the table. He sighs and pulls the first sheet over to him. Looks like things are finally starting.

"Okay, look this is how it's going to go down. I ask the questions, you answer, and Inoichi will scan the part of your brain on where that particular information is

contained. He will stop me if you tell a lie, got it?"

Once again, the girl doesn't answer, just nods.

"I'm going to ask you a few basic questions. First, what is your name?"

"Tenshi Hayashi." The girl replies impatiently.

I smirk. We're the ones interrogating her, and she is the impatient one?

"How old are you?"

"17."

She looks way younger than 17, but Inoichi hasn't intervened.

"When is your birthday?"

"April 5th."

"What Village are you from?"

"Amegakure."

"What is your rank?"

"Rouge Jōnin."

"Ha, really? You expect us to believe that you, this tiny girl, are a ninja? Let alone Jōnin level?" I raised an eyebrow, smirking. I look over at Ibiki; he gives me the same look, agreeing with me.

"No, she is telling the truth Kakashi. I'm seeing her being promoted Jōnin by Hanzō." Inoichi says, surprised.

"Hn." Whatever.

"Don't judge a person by how they look, especially if you don't know them." The girl said irritated, her head facing me.

I just roll my eyes and pull out my book. Ibiki reels off another question.

"What is your affinity?"

"I have two, Water and Lightning."

For just a moment, I thought I saw her smirk.

I mean that's an odd combination. Those two normally work against each other.

"Do you have any family? If so who?"

There was a pause; she didn't answer right away, but then she replied.

"My father, Norio Hayashi: Elite Jōnin and right hand to Hanzō the Salamander. My older brother, Takeshi Hayashi, Jōnin."

I look up from my book. The tone of her voice was different from before, and her face lacked the determination from earlier. In fact, she looked emotionless.

"Is that all?"

"Yes."

"Hold up. Who aren't you telling us about?" Inoichi suddenly said.

"Nobody." She said, voice cold.

"Tell me now or I will make this very unpleasant for you." The threat very evident in Ibiki's voice.

"Why does it matter? They are dead." Each word whispered and emotionless.

Suddenly her eyes were wide open, and she was staring Ibiki down with a snarl on her face. I may have called her a tiny girl, which I'm not saying she isn't, but she looks very dangerous in her present state. If we push this subject much further, she may stop giving information altogether.

I stand from the table and place a hand on Ibiki's shoulder. He glances at me long enough to catch the small shake of my head. With an irritated look, he turns to the Hokage. He looks at me and gives a nod. Fortunately, Ibiki understood that he should back off. Ibiki gave an aggravated sigh.

"Now it's time for the serious questions," he starts again, Inoichi replacing his hand, "When is Amegakure planning to attack?"

The girl visibly relaxed and slowly closed her eyes.

"Four days from now." Her voice was calm and professional again.

"What is their reasoning behind attacking us?"

At this, her forehead wrinkles and her mouth pursed in a thin line.

"I believe that they are attacking not only to gain power and land, but for revenge."

"Revenge? What do you mean 'revenge'?" I ask.

Inoichi smiles a little. I wonder what they are talking about inside her head.

She laughs humorlessly and sighs. "Really? You wonder why they want revenge. We are always caught in the crossfire of the Great Nation's feuds. Always. We lose so many innocent lives just because you five nations battle over more power. Before you started your wars, we used to be a calm land, a peaceful one. Then you ruined that, and we had to take up arms to protect ourselves from a fight that wasn't ours to begin with." She said bitterly.

"Then why? Why help us? Why leave your family, your comrades?"

"Like I said before, innocent lives were lost; that doesn't need to happen again." She opened her eyes and sighed, this time she sounded tired. The girl suddenly looked much older, more mature. I guess war will do that to you, not that I see much of a difference in myself.

"I want you to know that if push comes to shove and we have an all-out fight, which it seems that is the most likely case, I will fight with you. My once peaceful nation has become just as blood-thirsty and power hungry as the rest of you."

"Once again, if they are the same as us, why would you choose us over your village?"

"Once again," she mocked, "They are threatening innocent lives. They have become blood-thirsty, evil. I was going to leave the village sooner or later. I don't like what they have become. Not to mention, I owe you."

I look at her confused.

"You had me taken to the hospital and took care of while I was unconscious. Even though it was only for interrogation purposes, I probably would've been worse off, therefore, I am in your debt."

There was a pause; then the Hokage rose from his chair and made his way over to stand in front of the girl.

"I think we have gotten all of the information we need. Don't you, Ibiki, Inoichi?" Almost immediately, the contraption surrounding her was opening.

"I would like for you to stay in the village for the time being. I assume you don't have much money on you, so I will have somewhere for you to stay ready soon. Also, I would like to thank you personally for your warning. It is us whom are in debt to you." The Hokage said softly with a small smile.

"Thank you, Sir, but it's entirely unnecessary." She starts, standing up. I have to hold back a laugh because dang, she's short. "However, it is your decision."

The Hokage smiled again and told her that he would have her summoned when he has everything straightened out.

Ibiki stood behind her, removing the restraints.

"I have a question for you, Girl." I said, looking down at her smirking. She turned and looked up to see my face.

"Just how short are you?" She glares at me. It's a serious question! How is she some elite Kunoichi with such a small frame?

"Let's get one thing straight. My name is not 'Girl', it's Tenshi. While I may not look it, I can be your worst nightmare. I use people's idiocy, not unlike your own, to my advantage. Take my advice… don't underestimate me." And with that, she bowed to the Hokage and left.

"That still doesn't answer my question!" I call after her.

"Wait, her stuff!" said Inoichi as he grabbed her few things and took off after her.

The Hokage turned to me chuckling and said, "You know something, Kakashi? I think I like her, she would be entertaining to have around. Don't you think?"

I don't answer him because he couldn't be farther.

I know, I know, the interrogation is incredibly short. I couldn't think of anything :( I would really love to hear what you all think of the story so far. Also, I know that the battle is planned to commence in four days, but even after the fight, the story will continue. You don't just fall in love with somebody in four days, but you can become friends (and soon to be more;) )! Anyhoo, please review and favourite to show your support for this story! As always, I hope you liked Kakashi's POV and Ladies and Gentlemen, here comes Tenshi's!
