Please remember, Chapter 4

The sun was about to set at Konohagakure. Parents were calling their kids for dinner & Bars were ready to start their business (Yeah, Bars open at night in my Fic P)

Hatake Kakashi, The 32 years old Genius Jonin was on his way to the nearest flower shop, the nearest being 'Yamanaka Flowers', a hand in his pocket and the other hand holding the new volume of his favorite book by Jiraiya, 'Icha Icha Violence'.

'Can't wait for the next volume, I'm already nearing the end of this one' Kakashi thought. He wasn't the perverted kind of guys, but he liked reading these kinds of stories since he's got nothing else to do, no one to visit. Kakashi's expression was changed to a sad one when he remembered everyone he's lost, his Family, his father & Yondaime-sama, His mentor and leader of his team when he was still a genin, all the way till he became a Jonin. 'Team' just thinking of that word reminded him of his ex-team mates, a talented 13 year old genius, Uchiha Obito & a cute little girl, Rin. He smiled as he remembered how she had a crush on him. It didn't need a genius to figure that out.

His was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't notice he already reached the Flower shop; he put the book in his pocket. It wasn't going to look good if he walked in with THAT book in his hands. Though he didn't care, he knew that Ino would be the one in charge of the shop today, and No young girl – except Sakura- has seen him reading that book.

'It would be a bit impolite' Kakashi said as he pushed the door to the flower shop.

"Kakashi-sensei, Welcome to Yamanaka flower shop, how can I help you?" Ino, who was sitting at the counter looking as bored as ever, happily greeted him, it's been a while since she last saw him.

"Hello, Ino." He simply replied, raising his hand as hello.

"Please take a look around, choose the flower you like" She said pointing on the flowers row on the right side of the shop.

Kakashi took a quick look at the flowers and noticed a beautiful, simple flower with baby blue petals & one yellow circle on each petal.

"What is this one?" he asked pointing at the blue flower, Ino took a deep look and answered.

"This is a Blue flag Iris, this flower was hard to find; it is rare but always used. People use it in Burials since it represents Resurrection and life; don't know if that's what you want now." Ino rambled about the Flower, Kakashi looked at that flower 'sounds like a good one' he nodded "I'll take two" He told Ino.

Ino chose two Blue irises and wrapped them in a white piece of cloth; he paid for them. "Thank you! Please come again" Ino said waving at Kakashi who replied by raising his hand on his way out.

Ino glanced at the door, "Who is he visiting with that flower?" Ino wondered as she leaned on the counter, she looked at the clock on the wall. "It's 5pm already? That was such a fast, boring day" she sighed and took off her apron, this was the last costumer and she already grew tired of this. "Mom and dad should appreciate what I'm doing, they should now raise my allowance, Hm" she tossed her head to the side so a strand of her hair moved a bit to the side. She put the apron aside and walked to the door, Turned around and took one last time at the shop and turned off the lights, went outside and locked the door tight.

Near the Hyuuga Mansion

"Is that what happened, Naruto-kun?" a very happy Hinata asked Naruto who was walking backwards in front of her, hands behind his head.

"Yes, Ero-sennin is one hell of a player. But he's a good teacher. I wouldn't have learned 'Rasengan' if it hadn't been for him. He has a cool way of teaching. I owe him!" Naruto grinned at Hinata who was still blushing from the time he asked her for a walk.

Naruto was rambling on and on and on about his Adventures with Jiraiya, Hinata was listening carefully as he reenacted every part of it, LITERALLY. Hinata was laughing some times at his goofiness. That what made her love him, 'Love him? I don't love him, I just like him…Maybe' Hinata's pale cheeks turned a very noticeable red, Beet red to be exact.

Since Naruto's rambling didn't stop, they've already reached the Hyuuga Mansion, climbed the small set of steps. Both stopped at the doorstep.

"Here we are!" Naruto yelled. Then took a look at the Blushed Hinata, "Hina-chan, are you ok? You look like you have a fever" Naruto stopped walking and put the back of his hand on Hinata's cheek.

"I-I'm ok, N-Naruto-kun. D-Don't …worry about me." She said fiddling with her hands.

'She's shy as always, she looks really…' Naruto thought grinning. "…Cute" Naruto said out loud, Hinata was surprised, 'Did he say cute? To who? For what?' Hinata thought, he cheeks turned red for the 1000000000th time.

"You're cute when you blush, Hinata" Naruto blurted out the words. 'Uh-oh' he thought.

"M-m-me?" Hinata stuttered, sweat was almost formed on her forehead. Naruto's hand cupped her cheek, caressed it with his thumb then lowered it back to his side.

'If she's going to be shy all the time, and I'd be too embarrassed to Confess how I feel, None of us will get the courage to say it' Naruto thought, having a very Serious look on his face.

"I really like you, Hinata" Naruto said looking at the ground, though he knew she liked him. He didn't know how she would react.

Hinata eyes were almost going to pop out of their sockets, 'he likes me, he said he likes me, oh my god.' Hinata had a lot of thoughts going through her head. 'What should I do? What should I say?' Hinata fiddled with her hands again, 'I know what I should do, well, Maybe…' she thought, she looked at Naruto and smiled a nervous smile, Leaned in and gave him a small peck on his Cheek.

"I-I like you too, Naruto-kun. I-I'll See you tomorrow." She said, blush on her cheeks and her index finger bumping into each other again. She unlocked the door to her house and walked in, Smiled one last time at Naruto and closed the door.

"What did just happen?" Naruto mumbled, touching his right cheek, where Hinata just kissed him. He grinned and ran to the small set of steps and jumping down.

"YES!" He yelled, bumping his feet together while in the Air and continued running, in the backyard stood Hinata's Father, Hyuuga Hiashi, he witnessed the whole thing. He wasn't angry at his daughter, he was more like proud of her 'my little Hinata has finally come out of her shell, Maybe her hanging out with this Uzumaki Naruto wasn't such a bad idea after all' he thought, smiling then going back to the yard.

Konoha's memorial site

Kakashi walked to the memorial that was in the middle of the forest, the flowers he bought earlier were in his hand. He stood in front of it, looking at the names of the lost ones, there are many of them. A lot were lost in the recent attack at Konoha. Their 3rd Hokage was lost in that Attack, he was killed by the Damn Orochimaru, "Hokage-sama, I promise. I'll hunt him down and avenge your death" Kakashi said, putting down the flowers. He wasn't here for the 3rd alone. He was here visiting someone else as well, his former comrade, his dear friend, the former owner of his Sharingan Eye. Kakashi's visible eye narrowed in sorrow, remembering his Friend, always remembering that he wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for him, For Uchiha Obito. Kakashi just stood there reminiscing some good times with Obito and Rin…

Flashback:

A sunny day at Konoha, one of the teams was in the forest. Fourth Hokage stood there, looking at his students, His team; Team fourth. Little Rin, the brown haired cute Kunoichi was wearing a small purple Kunoichi jacket with a yellow belt and had a red marks on each cheek, and young Kakashi, who was wearing a black shirt with two grey belts across his chest, were there. Fourth smiled at Kakashi, 'that kid already acts like a ninja, covering his face with a mask. I believe he will be a true shinobi someday, a good man as well, Maybe become a Hokage' Fourth smiled at the thought.

"Sensei, how long do we have to wait?" Young Rin said in a high pitched voice. Kakashi stood there with a bored look in his eyes.

"We'll wait until your other teammate arrives. We can't start training unless everyone's here", Fourth spoke up, raising his finger while speaking.

"Gomen, Gomen, Gomen, Gomen. Please forgive me for being late, Sensei!" Young Obito said running, the young boy had his goggles on his head.

"You're late…again" Kakashi finally spoke in a childish tone (Can you imagine Kakashi as a child, I don't!)

"I'm sorry, Kashi" Obito nicknamed his friend, his hand rubbing his own neck. Kakashi sighed. Obito looked at Rin whom he had a crush on. "Good morning, Rin-san" he politely greeted his friend. "Hi" was the only reply he got from her. He felt disappointed but he never let it show.

"Sensei, are we starting the training now?" Rin asked, "There's no training, you're all going to take a rest because tomorrow you have a mission, that's what I came here to tell you today" Fourth told them, hands behind his back.

"Cool, what kind of missions!" Obito said happily, he was very hyper at the age of 13.

"An "A-rank" mission" Fourth said with a serious tone. The three youngsters had a surprised look on their face that soon was replaced with a serious look.

"they gave this team that mission because they believed in you, you are the best team in Konoha, and if this mission succeeded, you would be the heroes who saved Konoha" Fourth said, changing his Expression to a happy one, Not wanting the kids to realize that this was a very dangerous mission.

"Go home, kids. I will tell you the details tomorrow. Dismissed" Fourth said, walking away.

"YES, Our very first mission. I'm going to destroy the Enemy" Obito said, putting the goggles on his eyes & mimicking punches & Kicks in the air.

"Kakashi-kun, what do you think of this mission? I hope we succeed" Rin exclaimed, Kakashi just stood there. Wondering whether this mission is safe or not, having a very bad feeling about this…

End Flashback.

A drop of water fell on the ground, soon to be followed by more drops, Kakashi looked at the now clouded sky, 'the weather was fine this morning, and now it's raining.' He thought, maybe the sky was crying, remembering that fateful day, Kakashi Never knew, that during this mission, he would lose his closest friends. When Rin was kidnapped, and Obito sacrificed his life to save Kakashi, The latter's left eye was blinded. Obito had Rin, who was a medical Specialist, to replace Kakashi's left eye with his own, giving Kakashi the Sharingan ability. 'Obito, As long as I'm alive, part of you is alive with me' Kakashi raised the forehead protector off his left eye to reveal the Sharingan. He Kneeled on one leg, closed his eyes and just sat there while the rain poured down on him, remembering Obito's words, the same advise that Kakashi gave to His team 7:

'In the ninja world, those who don't follow the rules are considered scum, but those who don't protect their comrades are worse than scum.'

Kakashi was lost in his thoughts, not noticing that someone else was at the Memorial site.

A strong but soft hand was placed on Kakashi's right shoulder. He opened his eyes and looked to the side to see the 29 years old Mitarashi Anko, smiling down on him. "If you stayed her you're going to catch a cold. If you get sick, you're useless" Anko's stern but Wise (wise?) words were simply accepted by Kakashi who covered his left eye again, and got up.

"You're right, Anko. But I'm not going inside because you told me so. I just don't want to be a disability to Konoha" Kakashi put his hands in his pockets, his spiky grey hair was now wet & framing his face, the mask & Clothes sticking to his body. 'He's sure getting a cold, we should get him to Hokage-sama' Anko thought, secretly admiring his body when she felt that this is inappropriate at the moment. She looked at the memorial stand, kneeled and clasped her hands together in prayer. A few moments later she was done & stood up.

"Oi, Anko" Anko's thought were cut by Kakashi's voice. "Are you coming or do you want to catch a cold?" Kakashi said in a tone similar to hers. Though the mask covered his face, she could see a hint of a smirk, 'Kakashi, stubborn as always' She smiled and walked with him side by side back to the Konoha village.
