A/N: Alright here's the first chapter. I'm sorry if the characters are OOC.
Chapter 1
Hatake Kakashi was heading back to Konoha from a completed mission with his team of Genins: Haruno Sakura, Uchiha Sasuke, and Uzumaki Naruto. They were all walking ahead of him; Naruto was trying to get Sakura's attention, who was trying to get Sasuke's attention, who was trying to ignore his two teammates. Yes, it was basically a normal day. The mission they were sent on was easy enough, escorting a wealthy merchant to Kumogakure. They did run into some robbers, but defeating them wasn't too much of a challenge. Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto were improving every day, pretty soon they wouldn't need Kakashi to watch their every move. "As annoying as they can be," Kakashi thought to himself, "They really are a good group of kids, it'll be rather quiet when they get older and I won't have to go on as much missions with them…Well that is why I have my Icha Icha Paradise. But it is getting rather boring…maybe I'll get a new book when I get back to the village…"
"Ne? Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto whispered.
"Nani?" Kakashi asked with a sigh.
"How did you get girls to like you when you were my age?" Naruto whispered, looking at Sakura out of the corner of his eyes.
"Huh?"
"You know when you were young, what did you do to…" Naruto started.
Kakashi sighed, "You do know I'm only 28 years old, right? I'm not as old as you think."
"Yeah, but Kakashi-sensei, it seems that the charms you probably had when you're younger has worn off. You don't even have a girlfriend right now do you? Don't most men your age at least have a girlfriend by now?" Naruto asked rather loudly and Kakashi stopped in his tracks. It seems that he's just come to the realization that he has never had a girlfriend in years.
Sakura, who just happened to hear that part, turned around and hit Naruto on the head. Sasuke sighed at Naruto's rude behavior towards their sensei. "Don't mind Naruto, Kakashi-sensei!" Sakura said smiling up at Kakashi as she was holding Naruto in a chokehold, "He's just being an idiot."
"It doesn't matter; we should just get to the village as soon as possible, so that I can turn in our report and go read my book," Kakashi said and they continued on their way. Naruto's comment about Kakashi's love life was stuck in Kakashi's head. So what if he doesn't have a girlfriend? Is it weird that a 28 year old man doesn't have a girlfriend? Or hasn't had any recent girlfriends lately? Kakashi couldn't even remember the face of the last girl he took out on a date. Has it really been so long?
The sun was starting to set and darkness spread. Team 7 was about a 4 hours away from Konoha and if they were running, they could probably get there in about two, but Sakura and Naruto were starting to slow down. It was quite obvious that they were tired and Kakashi knew, even if he didn't show it, Sasuke was tired as well. Kakashi stopped walking, "I'm going to check the surrounding area. You three stay put and set up camp. I'll be back soon," Kakashi told his three students and leapt away. Sakura and Naruto set down their packs and sighed with relief. They rested a few moments before they started to set up camp.
"Sakura-chan," Naruto said as he set up a fire.
"What Naruto?" Sakura asked looking up from the sleeping bags she was laying out.
"Don't you think it's weird Kakashi-sensei doesn't have a girlfriend?"
"I think it's weird you're actually thinking about Kakashi's love life," Sasuke said.
"Shut up teme," Naruto glared at Sasuke.
Instead of hitting Naruto in the head or shouting at him like she would have done, Sakura actually answered his question, "I guess so, Kakashi-sensei is a skilled Jonin and pretty good looking as well…"
"Ah, Sakura-chan do you have a crush on Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked.
She smacked him, "Ie, baka! I'm just pointing out that Kakashi-sensei had good qualities and it's weird he doesn't have a girlfriend or something. I bet it's because he reads those pervy books all the time." A light bulb flashed over Sakura's head, "Hey! Maybe we can pair someone up with Kakashi-sensei!" Inner Sakura: Yosh! Let's play cupid!
Naruto looked like he was all for it, Sasuke on the other hand just sighed in annoyance, "You two can be really stupid sometimes."
"What did you say you bastard!?" Naruto yelled shaking a fist in Sasuke's face.
"Sasuke-kun?" Sakura looked at Sasuke.
"Why are you two going into to Kakashi's business? It doesn't matter if he has a girlfriend or not. It's not our business so we should stay out of it."
"Hn," was all Naruto said and he laid down on a sleeping bag.
"Okay Sasuke-kun," Sakura agreed with Sasuke, even though she was a bit bummed she wouldn't be able to play cupid.
Two hours later, Kakashi came back to the small camp site the three genin set up. "WHERE WERE YOU ALL THIS TIME SENSEI!?" Naruto and Sakura shouted.
Kakashi rubbed the back of his head, "Gomen, gomen. You see there was a little squirrel stuck in a trap and…"
"LIAR!" Naruto and Sakura shouted again.
Kakashi turned to Sasuke, "Take our canteens and fill them with water, I think I heard a waterfall from that direction." Kakashi pointed east.
"You think…?" Sasuke said.
"What were you doing this whole time Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura asked.
"He was probably reading his pervy book again," Naruto said.
"I told you all already, I was helping a squirrel get out of a trap…"
Sasuke sighed, gathered up the canteens and started to head towards the waterfall. "Ah, Sasuke bring Naruto with you. I already checked the area, but you can never be too careful." Both Naruto and Sasuke groaned but they took the canteens and went to get water. The roar of the waterfall grew louder and they started to fill the canteens, that's when a rustle came from the bushes.
"Sasuke, did you hear that?" Naruto asked, pausing for a moment.
"What?" Sasuke said with a bored tone. Rustling came from the bushes again.
"That rustling, what is it Sasuke?"
Sasuke stopped what he was doing for a moment but soon went back to filling the canteen, "It probably just a squirrel or something." The rustling continued.
"I'm gonna go check it out," Naruto said. He put his now full canteen down on the ground and headed towards the bushes.
"Wait, baka," Sasuke said in a harsh whisper, but Naruto continued through the bushes. Sasuke filled the last canteen. "Oi, Naruto, what is it?" he called out.
"Sasuke, come look at this." Naruto called back.
Sasuke walked through the bushes, "If it's something stupid like a pile of dead squirrels then I'm gonna…"but he stopped short. Naruto stood pointing at a rock, and on the rock was not a pile of dead squirrels.
"What do you think it is?" Naruto whispered.
"We should probably report it to Kakashi-sensei," Sasuke said reasonably.
"But Kakashi already searched the area, wouldn't he know it's here already…?"
"No he didn't, you heard what he told us right? 'I think I heard a waterfall from that direction.' He was probably was only sensing the surrounding area for chakra levels of a shinobi, but was too far away to feel this thing's chakra. It is rather low," Sasuke paused for a moment, "You wait here Naruto, I'm going to go get Kakashi. Don't get any closer to it." And Sasuke left and ran back towards the camp.
Sakura and Kakashi looked at the thing lying on the rock, "What the hell?" Kakashi asked out loud. It looked like it was some kind of bird or something. Huge dirty white wings covered the creature's body, and you could see a human arm hang out from under it, the arm of a corpse perhaps? "You guys stay here." Kakashi told the younger ninja and he slowly approached the creature. He listened closely for signs of breathing, but heard none. So he slowly reached out and moved one of the wings out of the way, to see the face of a young woman. Her face and hair were filthy and her skin had a small blue tinge to it. Kakashi reached out to her neck to feel for a pulse, surprisingly enough he could feel one, though it was very faint. "No wonder I couldn't feel her chakra, I can barely feel her pulse…Where in the world did these wings come from…?" Kakashi wondered to himself. He felt for the end of the wings, the end that is usually attached to the back of a bird, and was very surprised that the wings were attached to the woman's back.
"Kakashi-sensei, what is it?" Naruto called out. Kakashi ignored him and did a summoning jutsu. Pakkun came out with a puff a smoke.
"Kakashi, what is it?" Pakkun asked.
"I need you to send a message to the Hokage as soon as possible."
"What do I tell her?"
"Tell her team 7 have found what seems to be a mutant."
"A mutant? Let me see it," Pakkun said. Kakashi pointed to the rock. Pakkun jumped onto the rock to get a better look. "Are those wings sticking out of its back?"
"Yeah, it might be an experiment of Orochimaru or something, so we'll be bringing it back. You just need to go tell the Hokage its coming."
"Okay Kakashi." And with that Pakkun ran off.
"Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto yelled. Kakashi sighed.
"Okay Naruto and Sasuke, you two come here. Sakura, go back to the camp and keep watch, we'll be there in a minute. Sakura nodded and went back to camp and Naruto and Sasuke walked over to Kakashi.
"So what are we gonna do Kakashi-sensei?"Naruto asked.
"I want you two to carry this," he pointed to the creature on the rock, "and take it back to camp."
"Why don't you carry it?"Naruto asked a bit annoyed.
"You two are carrying it because the chances of it being some sort of 'human weapon' of a different village are probable. Other ninjas could be searching for this thing as we speak. I'll have to stay on guard."
"We're taking it back to the village?" Sasuke asked.
"Yes, because even though the chances of this belonging to a different villages are probable, the chances of this belonging to Orochimaru are even greater. Orochimaru is known for his experiments, so we best take it back to the village."Kakashi started walking ahead and Naruto and Sasuke lifted the body from the rock. But Naruto froze in mid action.
"Sasuke, it's…a naked woman." The blushes on their faces were very visible even in the dim moonlight.
"Oi, you two hurry it up," Kakashi told the blushing young men.
"Kakashi-sensei…she's…um…" Naruto said.
Kakashi sighed, "Wrap her up in her wings, like she was before, and look straight ahead and you'll be fine. Just keep a good hold on her so you don't drop her." So the three shinobi finally got back to the camp to find a rather worried Sakura.
"You guys took a while getting back, I was getting worried," Sakura said.
"Don't worry Sakura-chan we're fine!" Naruto said drawing Sakura's attention to him, and to the being he was carrying. "Kakashi-sensei is that a woman?" Sakura looked closely at the woman's face after Sasuke and Naruto put her down onto a sleeping bag.
"Yes, but obviously she isn't truly human," Kakashi said pointing at the wings wrapping around the woman's body.
"You mean those wings are attached to her back?" Sakura gasped.
"Yes, the chances of her being an experiment for Orochimaru are high. So we'll be taking her back to the village. That means we'll only be getting a few hours of rest before we leave for Konoha."So Naruto and Sasuke had two hours to sleep while Sakura and Kakashi were on guard.
After an hour or so Sakura asked Kakashi, "Wouldn't it be dangerous taking her back to the village though?"
"Konoha is filled with highly trained shinobi, it won't be a problem," Kakashi said without looking up from his book. Pretty soon the two hours of watch were up and it was Kakashi and Sakura's turn to sleep. Two hours later, they packed up camp and went to Konoha.
Once arriving at Konoha, they went straight to the Hokage's office. "Oh good you're here, so where is it?" Tsunade asked team 7. They showed her the body. Tsunade examined it for about 5 minutes before saying, "We should take her to the hospital so I can examine her. We'll interrogate her later; you guys can come see her in the hospital later if you want. You all did a good job bring her here, you're dismissed." Team 7 left the building and Kakashi bid farewell to his students before walking to his apartment.
