Kakashi stood outside of the Hokage's door wondering if what he was doing was right. Just as he opened the door he saw Raine start to cry. "Why are you crying?" the Hokage asked as nicely as possible. "I have nowhere to go, and no one to go to. I-I don't know what to do now," Raine said as several more tears fell to the floor. Just then the Hokage noticed that Kakashi was standing there. "What are doing here, Hatake?" Kakashi was kind of shocked at what he had just heard. How could I not claim her now, even if she wasn't mine? But, for some reason, I'm pretty sure she is. "I just remembered. Uhhh, I'm pretty sure that you're my daughter," Kakashi smiled and blushed.

What did he just say? He just remembered? That's saying a lot. What's wrong with him? Wait. He is my father? No way! I mean, I actually found my father?! "Your mom's name was Kimakoe, right?" Kakashi asked shyly. Oh my God! He really is my dad! "Y-Yes. Yes she is."

Kakashi and Raine walked down the road to meet Kakashi's other students. "I'm glad the Hokage let you join my squad," Kakashi said, obviously trying to make things less awkward. It didn't work, it just made things more uncomfortable. "Yeah, me too." Raine replied quickly. She didn't want to seem ungrateful for Kakashi, she did leave everything behind to find him. She didn't want to throw it all away now. "Sooo. What's your full name?" Kakashi asked, still trying to break the tension. "Raine Kimakoe Kasana, but I would like to replace my last name with the one I should have." Her remark made both of them blush. "Raine Hatake? Sounds good to me." Kakashi said with a smile. Raine was happy that Kakashi didn't seem to care that she really wanted to be his daughter. Even though Raine really did want to be his daughter, it was going to be difficult to express her feelings to him. She had a rough time with the other adult male ninjas that followed her father, and not to mention all the things that he had done to her. "Did you want to move in with me? Or did you want a house for yourself? Don't be afraid to answer. I really don't mind either way. I just need to know so I can set something up." Raine thought for a minute…I would like to live with him, but I don't think I would like to just yet. "I would like to live with you Kakashi, but maybe not for a while. I think things would be awkward until we got to know each other better." Kakashi sighed. " I'm glad for that. I felt the same way, but you can stay with me until your house is set up. Oh, and umm tomorrow you will be taking some tests to see how much you know. That will let us see if you can actually join my students."

SCENE CHANGE

"Yeah, so this really cute girl named Raine—" "Naruto…SHUT UP!!" Sakura and Sasuke both yelled at the same time. "Naruto, you think every girl is cute!" Sakura said in a mean, nagging voice. "And you have bad taste in women," Sasuke added. Sakura gave Sasuke a mean look. Naruto threw something at Sasuke while saying, "Yeah, but Raine is a lot prettier than Sakura!" Sakura gave Naruto an evil, evil glare. "WHAT DID YOU SAY?" Naruto started to run and stand behind Sasuke when Kakashi appeared. "Kakashi-sensei, where did you go? And why is Raine with you?" Naruto asked with a puzzled look on his face.

So this must be Sakura and Sasuke. Sakura looks nice. Oh, wow, Sasuke is really…never mind. Never mind about Sakura too. Jeez. Once she saw look at Sasuke her face totally changed. They must be dating…oh well.



Wow. Naruto was right. Raine is really pretty. She looks kind of shy though. I should talk to her after this, maybe we could be friends—wait! She just looked at Sasuke! My Sasuke! Oh no she doesn't! She will not have him!

Whoa. She's practically naked. She looks so shy, but she obviously must not be. A short black skirt with the left leg and right arm wrapped in black bandages, a black…I'll say very short tank top…covered with a long sleeved fish net shirt. Black bandages wrapping her hands. Thick, muscular legs, thin, but chiseled abdomen, small but strong arms. Long black hair, beautiful face, and black eyes…is there anything other than black on this chick other than her shoes? Holy shit. Why did I just check her out like that? What's wrong with me? I've never done this before. Why am I feeling this way now? Naruto was so right…I need to calm down.

Look at them all looking at her like that. Now they know I'm right. Of course Sasuke finds her attractive. And Sakura is already jealous. He, he, he. I told them so.

"Alright everybody, this is Raine. She might be joining your group. We will find out tomorrow when she takes her tests. Anyone have any questions?" Kakashi told the group. "Why is she joining the group all of a sudden?" Sakura asked. "I'll explain that tomorrow," Kakashi replied. "How old are you?" Naruto asked. "I-I'm sixteen." Raine said shyly. Silence reigned for a while. "Well, is that all of the questions?" Kakashi asked kind of slowly. "Will you come eat ramen with me tonight, Raine?" Naruto asked Raine politely. Sakura's jaw almost hit the floor and if looks could kill, Naruto would have been dead from Sasuke's penetrating glare. Raine looked at Kakashi who nodded. "Sure, what time?"

"So this is your house?" Raine casually asked Kakashi. "Yeah. Do you think that you can remember where the Ramen shop is, Raine?" Raine nodded in agreement. That was really nice of Naruto to ask me to eat with him. Sasuke might be attractive, but so far he hasn't shown anything else to like. Naruto is really nice, he kind of reminds me of Van. "It will be time to meet Naruto in a minute, if you want to go ahead in and unpack that is fine." Kakashi didn't really have very much room in the house he was living in, since it was only him. "Here is the room you can stay in until we fix up your house. I know it is kind of small, but it should do." Raine walked into her new room and looked around. This is fine, though I would feel more comfortable in my own house. I hope I don't seem rude to Kakashi. I really am happy that I finally have him, my real father. Raine stopped unpacking her things and turned around to face Kakashi. Before Kakashi could ask what was wrong, Raine had thrown her arms around his neck. "Thank you for everything, Kakashi. You could have left me like those other men did. You didn't have to take me in…but I'm glad that you did. Thank you," Raine said, waiting for a response. "I'm glad too."

"Hi Naruto!" Raine said as she pulled the cloth away from in front of her face as she entered the Ramen shop. "Hey Raine! I didn't think that you were gonna come. You're 30 minutes late! You are already taking after Kakashi, and you haven't even spent one whole day with him yet!" I wonder if I 

should tell Naruto that Kakashi is my father. Probably not, if Kakashi wants them to know then he can tell them. I don't really want them to know everything about my past either. I'm afraid that they won't want to be friends with me if I do tell them. I don't even know if anyone other than Naruto wants to be my friend now. Oh well, I have only been here for a day; I should wait and see what happens. I'm just so nervous though…

"Oh, goodnight Naruto! Thank you again for dinner!" Raine yelled to the retreating Naruto. "No problem, anytime!" Raine smiled to Naruto's response. I really do like Naruto a lot. He didn't judge me at all when I told him really personal stuff. I didn't really mean to tell him that stuff, but for some reason I just feel like I can talk to him. "Would you like me to walk you home?" Raine turned to see who was asking her. "What are you doing out here this late?" Sasuke looked around for a minute, "Taking a walk and you?" Taking a walk, at this hour? "I'm on my way back from having dinner with Naruto," Raine hid a smile when she saw Sasuke's reaction, "and no thank you. I can find his house on my own. Maybe some other time." Was that the right thing to do? I kind of wanted him to walk with me, but I don't want him to think I'm like every other girl here. Naruto said that Sasuke has a fan group going on. He probably expects me to drool and hang all over him. That is definitely not going to happen. I'm not going to make a fool of myself. And plus, he probably thinks I'm a stupid outsider. He would rather have Sakura, or someone from his own village that's a lot prettier and stronger than me. I'm so weak, I shouldn't even be a ninja…

SASUKE'S POV

I wonder what Naruto and Raine are doing. Not that I really care. There is no way that she would like a loser like Naruto. And what makes you think she would like you? Ahhh…I don't know. I kind of hope she would like me…What am I saying?! I don't even know her! She could be an imposter, or, or a total bitch or something. She seems too timid and nice though. I wonder if she realizes how pretty she is. She doesn't act like it. She will probably have a fan group following her around in a couple of days. I need to stop thinking about her. I will just have to wait to get to know her better, I mean, looks aren't everything. I should go take a walk. That will keep my mind off of things…maybe I will see her when I'm out…

I didn't really expect to see her out here this late; she has to take those tests in the morning! She and Naruto must have had fun…I should probably ask if she wants me to walk her home. It's dark and she probably doesn't know her way around very well yet.

",and no thank you. I can find his house on my own. Maybe some other time." I can't believe I just heard that. I guess I'm kind of glad she is not all over me like the other girls…well actually I probably wouldn't mind . That kind of hurt. There is actually one girl that I wouldn't mind around me, and she doesn't want me? How ironic. Maybe I should be cold to her, maybe then she will be nicer…not that she wasn't nice, she just—just didn't do what I wanted her to do. I'm so selfish. Maybe I should find out about her past and stuff. Maybe then she will talk to me more once I understand her better. …WHY DO I EVEN WANT TO TALK TO HER?? …what's wrong with me…ugh…
