When Kakashi reached his house, something was wrong. Normally after a mission his father would come and give him a hug as soon as he saw him. But he didn't come and the lights in the house were off and the house was dark.
"Is he alright? Did something happen to him?" Kakashi wondered as he explored the dark house.
"Dad," Kakashi called when he reached his father's bedroom door. There was no answer but soft sobs emanated from within. "Dad what is wrong?" he asked walking into the room.
"Kakashi, I want you to go to your room now," Sakumo whispered.
"But dad, I want to what happed on the mission…"
"I said NOW KAKASHI!!!" he roared.
Shocked by his out burst, Kakashi left the room silently. Lying in his bed for what seemed like hours and idea came across his mind. When the house was completely silent Kakashi made his move. Slipping silently through the, he reached the Hokage's office tower.
Jumping up to the window, Kakashi lightly tapped the glass. When the Hokage turned and saw him a grave look came across his face. Opening the window he let Kakashi in.
Without waiting for him to speak, the Hokage began, "Kakashi I know why you are here, and I want to explain before someone else tells you." Kakashi nodded his head and the Hokage continued. "As you probably have already guessed, you fathers mission was a failure. He abandoned the mission to dace his team. They were not working as a team and he forgot the rules of a ninja." Kakashi was silent. "My advice to you is keep you friends close, work as a team, and train hard. Now you are dismissed." The Hokage smiled down at the 14 year old, who bowed and jumped out the window.
Without knowing were he was headed, Kakashi found himself at the bridge where he and his team had gathered just that morning.
"Man that seems like forever ago," he thought to himself, staring back at is reflection.
"OH, I am sorry I did not know you would be here Kakashi," a sweet and quiet voice said from the land.
"Uh, oh it is you Rin," Kakashi replied with a tired smile. "What brings you here at such a late hour?"
"Well that is exactly what I was going to ask you. I just could not sleep. What about you?" she said walking and leaning next to him on the rail.
" I don't want to talk about it," he replied turning away form her.
"All right, but I will be here when ever you need to talk. But I have an idea. Why don't you get your mission and other things and I will get my stuff. Then we can go get Obito and head to the waterfall to live for a while. If nothing happed we won't have to go back to town."
"I don't know but I guess I'll do anything to get away. Lets meet back here in five minutes. Oh and also bring anything you can carry," Kakashi said then ran to his house.
When they meet up again both head to take their things to the waterfall. Once every thing was put away a tidied in the cave, Rin and Kakashi headed to the Uchiha Clan complex. Once there they slipped over the walls and into Obito's room.
"Obito-chan get up and bring you things," Rin whispered gently shaking him awake.
"Why?" Obito mumbled getting up. Kakashi started to gather Obito's belongings and soon Obito was awake enough to help him. He left a short note to his family to explain what was happening. In minutes Obito's things were added and everything was complete. After the nights events the three fell fast asleep.
