I really like this part, you get to be introduced to a brand new character! (really early isn't it? ha ha) and let me tell you that he is a nasty one. You know, when i thought up this whole 'Ryu Seishin' i sort of imagined them being the hidden, or darker, side to the person, although as you'll see later on in the sequel, you'll see that the user and the Ryu Seishin are actually quite alike. any who! on to the next chapter! thanks for everyone who reads this and reviews, you guys are pretty mad awesome!

Disclaimer, i own nothing of Naruto, only Miyuki, and Jigoku.

She walked into the darken apartment, 'Kakashi must be out.' she thought, noticing that she couldn't find his chakra in the house. She put her bag down, and laid on the couch. She exhaled, this couch. Who knew she'd miss this comfortable couch? She closed her eyes, listening..

What the hell are you doing?

Her face scrunched in annoyance. Her training had led her to have a telepathic connection with her Ryu Seishin. 'Go away Jigoku. I'm relaxing.'

You should be training. You want this 'ANBU' goal, you won't be getting it sitting here. Jigoku hissed in her head.

She sighed, 'Since when have you been worried about my goals? Last time I checked, you wanted me to kill everyone.'

If you get this ANBU job, I will get to kill. If you look at it, we all win.

'You win, don't you mean?' She thought before she realized the lights were turned on. Her eyes opened, and she looked up, seeing Kakashi staring down at her, a smile hidden behind his mask. She smiled, "Hey Copy-Cat. Told you I'd be back." She said, holding her hand out, "Necklace?"

"Yeah. About that.."

She shot up, "You didn't lose it did you?"

Kakashi chuckled, taking the necklace off, and hung it on her neck, "No, it's still in mint condition too." He spoke as he watched her relax, but then noticed her patch. "Miyuki…"

She looked at him, then smiled, pulling the cloth off, "It's alright. Remember? I told you that I would lose all vision from it sooner or later."

His eye looked it over, before he put his hand on her head, "Nah, I wasn't going to say that. I was going to say that you cut your hair."

"Liar." She spoke, laughing a bit.

"Hungry?" He asked, standing up.

"Starving." She spoke, also standing up, "I say that you take me out to eat." She snickered.

He sighed, "Well, I have no choice since you demand it." He chuckled a bit, following her out the door.

"So? What were you doing out this late?"

"Oh, testing Sakura and Naruto. They've grown a lot these past three years." He said as they were walking down the street.

"Sakura, I haven't seen her yet."

"Don't get on her bad side, she has perfect control of her chakra." Kakashi said, remembering how she had broken up the ground to find him.

Miyuki chuckled, "Oh no, are you starting to become an old man?"

"Me? Old man? Miyuki that's harsh. Besides, while you were gone, I gained a new trick." He spoke, taking the new edition of Icha Icha Paradise Jiraiya had written and reading it.

"Really?" Miyuki said, eye brow raised, "Well, I've gained a few tricks myself Hatake. We'll have to see who has the better one huh?"

He chuckled, "We'll have to see won't we?" He said, as they entered a tea shop.

As she sat down, why did she feel.. Irritated by him reading that while he was with her? She had been use to him reading it, she was use to it, but now.. It was like she wanted him to… her face became red and she looked away, becoming more embarrassed that the thought crossed her mind then anything else.

Kakashi looked over his book, and saw the redness on her cheek, and put his book down, "Miyuki? Are you okay?"

She turned to him, "What? Oh, yeah, just looking around. It actually felt longer being away then last time." She spoke, resting her elbow on the table, then resting her chin in her hand, "It's nice being back, you know?" She laughed a bit, smiling.

Kakashi smiled a bit under his mask, "Yeah, it's nice having you back. It wasn't the same without you."

Her eyes looked at him, blinking, then smiled, before ordering something. She looked at her hand.

"So how was training? Naruto's seemed to pay off." Kakashi asked, going back to his book.

So he was still paying attention to her. She smiled, "It was well worth it. Jiraiya had to take a few whacks at me to get me back, but over all, I have a handle over Jigoku. There's still that blood thirst he wants, but he's already gotten the concept that the types of missions ANBU have are mainly assassinations, so he'll get his blood, and I'll get his abilities."

"So it's a mutual relationship." Kakashi summed up for himself. Then looked up, "You're still going to request to be put on ANBU again?"

She nodded, then paused as her order came up. She looked at Kakashi "When I was brought back, I was put on probation. Before the Third died, I was seriously considering to go back, but once the attack happened, I knew I needed more time. Before I left, I asked Jiraiya to give me two minutes with Lady Tsunade, I explained to her my situation, she agreed that I could return to the ANBU after I demonstrated my abilities to her." Miyuki explained before going into the noodles she ordered. "Besides, Naruto and Jiraiya whacked me enough on that side for me to start realizing that people always attack that side, so I have to focus sensing chakra on that side, and then anticipate their movements. It sounds easy, but it's hard. I think it wasn't until last year that I learned the trick to it, and even now I'm a bit slow on that side. But I figured I'd go into assassination missions, that usually calls for stealth, and with my new trick, I'll have another pair of eyes with me." She spoke, smiling a bit at the thought of Jigoku's connect to her.

"You always plan ahead don't you?"

"I'm a Shinobi, I'm suppose to plan ahead aren't I?"

He chuckled, "Yes, I suppose so." He then sighed, "How do you think Naruto and Sakura will take it? If you become ANBU, you'll barely see them anymore."

She slightly frown, "I know, I had a trip and a half trying to explain that to Naruto during the three years, I haven't thought about how Sakura will take it, she'll probably be just as upset as Naruto was when I told him. But, the ANBU are elite assassins." She looked at him, "Kakashi, I'm an Assassin. The blood that runs through me is bred to assassinate, if I'm a jounin, I don't get assigned those missions." She looked down, "If I was in my own village, I wouldn't have to be in the ANBU, I could be a genin and assassinate, but, that's not an option."

Kakashi nodded, "I understand." He spoke. He didn't forget that her father was one of the greater assassins or that her whole clan was nothing but great assassins. He closed his book, putting his elbow on the table and his chin resting in his hand. He watched her as she continued to eat.

God. He had missed her. Her being back meant he had to control himself again. That sinful urge. That sinful urge of wanting her. His eye scanned hers. Yes, seeing her right eye the way it was, it had lost the luster that her left eye had. The red was clouded by gray, instantly showing her weak side. The scars she held over her right were a constant reminder to him that she had been nothing but a test subject to that vile man and worst, he hadn't know she had still been alive… if he knew she was still alive, he would have done everything to find her and bring her back, out of that hell hole…

Her eyes looked up, seeing that he was staring at her. She looked down, her cheeks turning red, "Kakashi? What's wrong? Is something on my face?"

"Huh?" He snapped out of it, "Oh, no, I just, missed you. That's all." He said, taking his book back out.

"Aren't you going to eat something?" Miyuki asked, hoping he'd get something so she could get a peek at his face. The curiosity had only grown through the years.

He looked up, seeing that look, "No, I already got something before I came home." He explained, looking back at his book. "Besides, you just want to see my face."

Her face went red, "W-What? That's not true, it just seems rude that I'm eating and you're not."

He chuckled, "If you say so."

She frowned, then pointed to him, "Just wait, Kakashi Hatake, I'll see your face before I die."

"And that will be a long time from now." He replied, smiling a bit as her face contorted in aggravation. No. he wouldn't show his face to her, not unless he had to. He thanked her though, for respecting his sense of privacy, and never trying to un-mask him while he slept. He smiled, he was glad she was back.
