Chapter 3- The 1st Meeting Again

After leaving the Hokage Neko wandered through the village and soon found herself down on the training ground watching Team Kakashi. Her eyes took in everything lingering on Kakashi more than once.

"HaeCho." she said creating a trio of butterflies and sending them to flutter around the team. They bounced and spun around the four of them; one landed on Kakashi's shoulder and took a sip of his chakra. That's when Neko realized who Kakashi was.

"Sensei" Sai said you have a visitor. He pointed to the butterflies.

"Yes I do." Kakashi replied "And they are more than welcome to join us." As he finished the sentence Neko appeared next to him.

"That is most kind," she said "I was not intending to interrupt."

Sai's eyes widened "Neko Sensei!" he said as he dropped to his knees before the woman. Her eyes fixed on him reading his chakra. The rest of the team looked at them in stunned silence.

"Sai she said how nice to see you. It's been a long time, and you have grown." She motioned for him to stand.

He smiled, "Yes Sensei I am pleased you remember me."

Kakashi watched the exchange curious as to how she could have been his sensei.

"Remember you Sai?" Neko asked, "You were and still are a favored student, I could never forget."

Sai bowed to her, "I am honored Sensei." He responded.

Neko patted him on the cheek before she turned to the others.

"You are Sakura Haruno a medical ninja in training?"

"Yes Neko Sensei." Sakura replied

Looking at Naruto Neko observed him, "Naruto Uzumaki I presume the future Hokage?"

Naruto nodded and grinned. "You better believe it lady." He responded.

Neko laughed; when she did Kakashi caught his breath. Then she turned to him.

"Now you Kakashi Hatake I have heard many interesting things about."

"All good I hope." He replied

"Mostly" she responded, looking back at the other three chunin she said, "again I did not mean to interrupt your training."

"We are honored to have you grace us Neko Sensei." Sai replied to her.

Neko smiled at him and Kakashi was floored. . It is her he thought.

Neko patted Sai on the arm before she walked away. Kakashi watched her as the team watched him.

"What's up with Kakashi Sensei?" Naruto said.

Sakura elbowed him to shut up but Kakashi's attention was once again back on his squad.
