Sooooooo PLEASE REVIEW! (It gives my life meaning!)

Enjoy! ^-^


-Sasuke's P.O.V-

I walked quickly down the halls as fast as I could, I needed air. Kakashi was following behind me and at this point I didn't really care.

People still in the hospital watched me with worried looks as I passed them, again I don't care. As I finally reached the door leading outside, I pushed it open as hard as I could.

I got outside and felt the wind circling around me. It was calming and relaxing, what I needed right now. My body found the wall close to the door and I leaned against it, feeling like all my strength was gone.

I slowly slid down the wall and soon was sitting there with my head resting on my knees.

Kakashi had just now opened the door and saw where I was. He crouched down next to me and just stayed there for a little while. He could obviously see how shaken up I was.

"Let's go train." He said sternly as he stood up.

I lifted my head and looked up at him, he was staring at me with what some may confuse as an angry look.

But I knew that he was just trying to understand and help. I nodded and got up. He started to run down the streets and I quickly followed him.


-Third Person P.O.V-

Seitsuki sat down in a chair now diagonal from the man she now recognized as The Hokage. It was warm in the room, but her body felt strangely cold.

"So young lady would you like to introduce yourself?" The Hokage said as he looked at her with a smile.

The Hokage watched as she shifted uncomfortably in her seat. His face tuned from a smile into a slight frown. It's not that she gave off a dangerous vibe, but more of a scared vibe. And when people are scared, much like animals, they will attack.

He eyes looked as if they were looking to the side of The Hokage, but her vision seemed blurred, like she wasn't really looking at anything.

Her face turned blank as she answered, "I'm no one."

The Hokage frowned. He could tell that whatever she had been through had, had an affect on her mind. Cautiously he said to her, "Whatever happened to you.. I'm deeply sorry. But you must know that you are someone."

Her eyes darted to him and her fingers stated to make light drumming noises on the chair. He body was moving around in the chair, trying to find some kind of flow.

Her eyes were now looking directly into his, as she said in a calm yet frightened voice, "You're wrong about Seitsuki.. Seitsuki isn't here. He didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave.. So she melted... Melted away. Now he.. They got their wish. Seitsuki isn't here.."

As she went on her eyes drifted back down to the floor. The Hokage got up and was now kneeling down in front of her.

Her eyes went to his. His eyes held concern and confusion. But hers held sadness and held something no one could place.

Suddenly The Hokage got an idea as to what she meant, "The Uchihas?.."

She got up and began to pace around the room, "They all left her, left her alone to die. The man in the mask took her somewhere safe! Somewhere safer.."

The Hokage now stood in place watching her carefully. Finally his voice came out, "What about Sasuke?"

She stopped dead in her tracks and looked down at the floor. "Sasuke doesn't want Seitsuki here.. She complicates things."

She fell on her knees, still staring at the floor. The Hokage was about to speak but she finished before he could. "Sasuke said it himself.. Seitsuki's dead."


-Kakashi's P.O.V-

I watched as Sasuke kept punching at the same spot on one tree. He never moved from that one spot at all.

Sasuke had always been a good student, strong, cunning, and good techniques. But as he punched away at this tree, he was just full of anger or hatred. The boy had always had a hit of this, but now it showed more than ever.

"Let's talk about this Sasuke." I said as I leaned against the tree right next to the one he was punching.

He kept punching at the tree and said in between punches, "Do you really think this is the best time to be talking?"

I sighed and said to him, "I'm still your teacher. And as good of a ninja and student you are, there are some life lessons that you still need to learn. Now more than ever with what's going on, its crucial to learn them." I never really knew why but I felt the need to father this child. He seemed to need it the most.

He growled slightly and said, "In case you haven't noticed my plate is kind of full, I don't need to think about more. And I'm really not comfortable with leaving Seitsuki alone."

I watched him carefully as he continued to punch, regardless of the fact that he wasn't showing it, his fist had to be hurting by now.

I caught his fist and that got his attention as he looked at me, "It's time that you looked at exactly what you're doing and how you plan to proceed. You need to know how to make hard decisions."

He pulled his fist away and said "What do you think I'm doing? I still have my plans I know what I want and I'll do what I have to to get that! I know how to make hard decisions."

I pushed him back an said, "Well, that's what we're here to find out." I got in a fighting stance, "While we work on the basics.


-Third Person P.O.V-

At first The Hokage just stood there, unsure of what to do. He slowly walk towards her, but she didn't even seem like she noticed. So he decided to just stand a couple of feet away from her.

His voice came out calmly, hoping that if he was calm she would be too, "Is that why it took you so long to come back here?"

His plan evidently worked as she said quietly, "No.. The masked man changed her. He made her forget.."

He was slightly confused by this, "You couldn't remember?", he asked.

She was still for a moment then shook her head, "She didn't remember.. Not even the masked man for a long time. Then one day everything was bright and she remembered.."

He walked closer to her now and said, "How? How did he do it? And how was she able to remember. At this she pushed her body away so she was now right next to the wall.

She looked at him with tears in her eyes and yelled, "You can't stab a knife into my eye and then ask me what I see!"

He wasn't really sure what to make of her riddles, but he knew that they all had meaning. The Hokage once again knelt down beside her, this time he put his hand on her shoulders.

He spoke slowly and softly to her and she kept her gaze down, "What happened before you came here doesn't matter."

She looked up shocked at him, he mouth hung slightly open.

He smiled at her and said, "I only have one question for you."

She looked kind of suspicious and nodded slowly saying, "Ask me."

He smiled at this and said, "Would you stay in Konohagakure?"

Her face was blank for a moment, but then slowly turned into a grin. The tears once again were pouring down her face, her voice shaking, "Yes.. God yes.."


-Third Person P.O.V- (Back to Kakashi and Sasuke)

Kakashi threw a punch at Sasuke, which he easily dodged. Sasuke then tried to kick Kakashi in the stomach. Kakashi caught the kick at which he winced slightly at the strength behind it. It was very obvious that Sasuke had anger held up inside. Kakashi pushed him back, now there was about a fifteen feet distance between them.

Sasuke began to make hand signs, but Kakashi said in a voice just loud enough for him to hear him, "No ninjutsu, just taijutsu."

Sasuke's eyebrows furrowed as he asked, "What? Why not?"

Kakashi stood up straight and said, "Because I'm asking you not to."

Sasuke rolls his eyes and then begins charging at Kakashi and then reaches him with a punch. Kakashi catches his fist and flips him over his back, again putting distance between them.

Kakashi voice then rings out a little louder, "What are your goals in life, Sasuke?"

Sasuke then stood up staight and leaned against the tree he was near, "Kakashi, we had this conversation when I was first assigned to your team."

Kakashi mimicked Sasuke, also leaning against a tree. "Ah, yes, but things are different, aren't they? After what you've been through tonight." Kakashi began to pace now, walking in what seems like circles. "How important is this girl to you, Sasuke?"

Sasuke didn't hesitate, "She's the most important thing now. I thought she was gone.. Now that I know she isn't I won't let anything happen to her."

Kakashi looked at Sasuke and make a slight chuckling sound, "So you'd do anything to save her? Would you give up your life?"

Sasuke looked down for a moment, then as his gaze came back up he looked Kakashi in the eye. Sasuke's eyes held an unspoken understanding between him and Kakashi, "Yes. If I had to.."

Suddenly Kakashi ran at him and directed a punch Sasuke's face. Sasuke lifted his arms in a block and then kicked Kakashi back. Kakashi's body didn't flinch, but he was now at a distance once again.

"So, you really do understand the difficult decisions you'll have to make? That you are expendable in this fight to protect her?" Kakashi asked as he began his pacing once again, like a hungry lion.

Sasuke's eyes narrowed at him, standing now in a position to defend against any attack, "Yes. I know."

Kakashi stopped in his tracks, now looking Sasuke in the eye. "That if you really want to save this girl, you cannot allow any threat that would jeopardize your chances of her being safe?"

"Yes! I get it!" Sasuke said as he was not in front of Kakashi. He threw a punch so hard that as Kakashi dodged it and his punch hit a tree, it left a whole.

Sasuke's hand was in the tree, and his body was shaking.

Kakashi sighed and leaned against the tree closest to it. "And then there's Itachi."

Sasuke turned to him and his face was full of rage. Kakashi didn't give him a chance to speak though before he continued.

"Itachi killed off almost all Uchiha's for whatever reason. Eventually he will find out that she's still alive, if he doesn't already know. And there's no telling if or when he'll come after her."

Sasuke looked down once again, his hand still in the tree. His body was only shaking more with every word passing Kakashi's lips.

When Sasuke spoke, his voice was almost demonic. "Then I will do everything in my power to stop him."

Kakashi then sighed and said, "But I can tell what's going to hold you back. What's going to make this harder for you then it has to be."

Sasuke looked to Kakashi confused, and immediately Kakashi explained. "It's not hard to see that you partially blame yourself."

Sasuke's eyes widened. Before anything else could be said, Sasuke pulled his hand out of the tree and stepped back a little. Sasuke looked to the ground with anger and then shook his head.

Kakashi stood still and watched, until he finally said, "Admit it, Sasuke."

Suddenly Sasuke screamed, "It is my fault!"

Kakashi was quiet and just waited for him to continue.

Sasuke began to pace and yelled, "She was alive and I didn't know! Anything could have happened to her! It's a miracle she's still alive! I should have checked! I should have looked! If she died it would have been my fault!"

After this Sasuke fell on his knees. He started punching at the ground, his fist had already been bleeding from the tree but he ignored it.

Kakashi walked up to him, he knelt down and put his hand on Sasuke's shoulder. It wasn't long before Sasuke's anger had subsided and tears were silently hitting the grass below him.
