Tenshi ran, she knew Kakashi wasn't far behind

Tenshi ran, she knew Kakashi wasn't far behind
She grinned to herself, it had been to long since she had enjoyed the thrill of a chase
The fact that she was the one being chased didn't matter at all
She ran into a large crowd of people and did a Shadow clone jutsu
She quickly did a transformation jutsu and swapped places with a slow moving little old lady
She pretended to stop and look into her bag and noticed that Kakashi had also done a clone jutsu
He sent his clones off after hers
She grinned, he was also following her in her little old lady disguise
She wandered slowly into another crowd and transformed again
This time she combined the two jutsu's and sent her transformed clones on the loose
She sat back and watched
Kakashi looked around and had one of his clones follow each of hers
He glanced around again and walked very quickly away in the opposite direction
She decided to do some shopping while she was there
She grinned to herself and started to whistle

Kakashi sighed to himself
He lost the girl
But on the plus side Tsunade would be happy to know that her skills as a ninja were amazing
He looked around and wondered where it was he went wrong
He thought back and suddenly cursed
There was a elderly man who had watched him
A man with violet eyes and a cheeky grin
He cursed again, then he laughed
She was good
But he was better

Tenshi opened the door and yelled out "Kids food"
Suddenly five children came running over to her
"Tenshi, Tenshi, what have you got"
"Tenshi look at the drawing I made you"
"Tenshi! Huana spit at me"
Tenshi laughed "We have Ramen, the drawing is beautiful and Huana if you ever spit at Kosage again I will make you spend a time out alone in the basement"
There was a chorus of "Yay's" and a "Aww"
She grinned at an elderly couple who walked in
They smiled back "Tenshi you're home, welcome"
She lost her smile and mouthed "later" to them
They nodded
"Well lets eat"

Tenshi stretched her arms above her head and yawned
The children were all fed, bathed and in bed asleep
It always tired her out
She heard someone behind her and spun around, her hands reached down for her weapons
She let out a sigh and smiled at the couple
Kiamo and her husband Sudda were the housekeepers at the place of her enslavement,
She would never think of that place as home
They had risked their very lives helping her and the children escape
They discovered that the master had sent word to some people that she was there, they also discovered he was planning to sell the children as slaves
Tenshi had convinced them to come away with them,
She knew that if the worst happened she would have to fight with her life
But if it happened then the children would be alone
She couldn't do that to them
So the couple had come, they settled down in this village and Tenshi went out everyday
She either came back with food or money she earned or that she stole
But they had made sure they taught her to only steal from those who could afford it
Stealing from those who were just as badly off as they were was no better then beating up a child or elderly person
It was just wrong

She looked back at them and smiled slightly
Kiamo sighed "You must leave?"
Tenshi nodded
Kiamo walked over and placed her hand upon Tenshi's face, she pulled her head down and rested it upon her breast and pulled her into a hug
Tenshi returned the hug, she sighed "I'll send money regularly until I know its safe"
Sudda muttered "And then when it is"
Tenshi looked at him "I'll send for you all"
Kiamo sighed "When will you leave?"
Tenshi looked up at the sky "Just before dawn breaks, I want to leave before the children wake up"
Kiamo nodded "That is smart, otherwise you would have a line of children following you"
Tenshi grinned "That would really cut in on my travel time"
Sudda muttered "Be safe, don't talk to strangers and remember we men can not be trusted"
Tenshi nodded "Because you're all liars, thieves and after one thing only"
Sudda nodded "That's my girl"
Kiamo sobbed "I know that you must be excited to see your brother again after all this time, but I think of you as my daughter, I don't want to lose my daughter"
Tenshi smiled and rubbed her back "I know, but don't worry about me, please don't worry"
Sudda looked over "You know if you met a nice man and got married, we wouldn't object"
Kiamo glared at him "We agreed not to bring up marriage until later"
Tenshi rubbed a hand over her face "What is with the obsession to get me married"
Sudda shrugged "You are young and beautiful, you should not be alone"
Kiamo added "We would not object to grandchildren, but Sudda is right, for once, you should be going out and being with people your own age, instead you spend all your time with us old folks"
Tenshi grinned "Bah, I don't see any old folks"
Kiamo grinned "Where would we be without you to keep us sane"
Tenshi shrugged "Insane"
They all stared up into the night for some time
Finally Tenshi let out a sigh "I have to go pack, I love you both, be safe, look after everyone, I'll be in contact soon"
She turned and walked inside

Tenshi was walking along the road singing softly to herself when she heard
"You're very good"
Tenshi grinned "At singing or escaping you"
Kakashi stood next to her "Both"
She winked at him "I know"
"Where are you going"
She looked up at the sky and smiled "To see my brother"
Kakashi nodded "Then it looks like I get to play escort instead of kidnapper"
Tenshi grinned at him "Disappointed?"
"You know your attitude has changed from angry and belligerent to sassy and annoying"
Tenshi laughed "Good to know"
They walked along in silence

They had stopped at nightfall and set up camp in the woods
Tenshi was sitting in a tree looking up at the stars
Kakashi appeared next to her with a book in hand
Tenshi looked over and gasped "Is that the Make out book"
Kakashi looked at her "hmm"
She sat up "Is that Make out Paradise?"
He nodded
She looked up at him "Oh please tell me that when you finish it I can read it"
Kakashi looked at her "You want to read it?"
She nodded "I love the Make out series, but I haven't read make out paradise yet, is it good?"
He looked shocked "You like them"
"Pfft, like them, I LOVE them, it is the best book series in the world"
He sat down "I know, aren't they well written"
She nodded "I know most people think of it as porn, but its such a thrilling read, its almost like you're there"
He nodded "The way it is has you feeling exactly what the character feels, its a really deep book"
She grinned "I wouldn't say deep, but it is" she trailed off and just shrugged

He nodded again "I know what you mean, did you know there's going to be a movie?"
She gasped "Oh my god, really?"
He nodded
She clasped her hands together "Oh, I want to see it right now, when will it be out, who will be in it, I want to know everything"
He told her what he knew
She sighed when he was finished "It seems we will have to wait forever then"
He rubbed her arm "Don't worry, it will be out sooner then you think"
She sat back and stared at the stars again
He read his book

She looked over at him and found he was staring at her
She sighed "Was it true, I mean about the Third, how Orochimaru was involved"
Kakashi nodded
She sat up and rubbed his arm "I'm so sorry"
He shrugged "We have the Fifth now, a wise woman named Tsunade, she leads us well"
Tenshi nodded "Its still so sad, he was such a good man, a wise and wonderful leader"
Kakashi looked at her "I thought you would have been bitter towards him"
Tenshi looked at him in shock "Why?"
"Because he sent you away from Naruto and to that place"
"But it was a good place"
"For how long"
Tenshi smiled "You know"
He nodded "You also have the mark of a slave on your back, you covered it with a dragon tattoo"
She laughed "Very observant my friend"
He moved his hand "So?"
She sighed "When I first arrived I was so angry at him, I didn't know anyone, I didn't want to know them either, but then time went on and he treated me so well"
She looked up at the stars
"I still miss him, he made sure my training was up to my skill and made sure I was taught more, he said I was like a sponge, that there was nothing I couldn't be taught, I absorbed knowledge like a sponge, hence the fact he called me one"
She took a sip of water from her canteen and lit up a smoke
"I came to respect him, I think partly he was disappointed by that, I think he thought of me as a daughter, but I couldn't think of him as family, he was my teacher, that was all"
She sighed and looked down
"I think towards the end he knew what was going to happen, he tried to prepare me best he could"
Kakashi frowned "What do you mean tried?"
Tenshi smiled "There are some things you can't prepare someone for, unfortunately what happened after he was killed was one of them"
He frowned "In what way"
"No one can prepare you for slavery, it has to be taught by trial and error, and that was the one thing I took a long while to learn, I never knew my proper place, I defended the others and stood up for myself, I believe that is what the bastard hated the most, he couldn't break me, god knows he tried, but he failed"
Kakashi looked at her "He was killed a year ago"
Tenshi grinned "Good, somehow it doesn't surprise me"
He nodded "I wondered if you did it"
She shook her head "Sometimes I wish I did, but no, I ran instead"
Kakashi forced her head up "When you have something you need to protect running can be your best option"
She looked at him "How did you know I had others with me"
"Because the same night you vanished so did two elderly housekeepers and five children, they were thought to have been sold, but knowing you, I say you took them while you ran"
She laughed softly "I'm not the hero of that story, it was the elderly couple who saved us and got us out of there"
He nodded "But without you would they have made it"
She sighed "I don't know"
He looked at her silently then held out his hand "Come we need rest, tomorrow afternoon we should be at the village"
She looked at him and took his hand

As they laid in the dark she looked over at him "How is Naruto"
Kakashi grinned "He is part of team 7, my team"
She smiled "Is he still an idiot"
Kakashi laughed "Yes"
She sighed "Tell me"
"Well in my team is Naruto, he has a crush on the only girl in the team Sakura, the other is his best friend and rival, Sasuke Uchiha"
She looked over "Uchiha?"
He nodded "Sasuke needs you, that's why we came in search of you, he is deeply troubled, without your help its feared he will turn rouge"
She stared at the stars "What can I do"
"Sleep, tomorrow will be soon enough"

MEANWHILE THE NEXT DAY A KONOHA??

Naruto and Sasuke were sitting down with Asuma and Kurenai and their teams when a ninja burst in
He looked at them all and muttered "Is it true?"
Asuma glared "Is what true"
The ninja looked excited "Is it true that Kakashi Hatake is coming back to the village after a mission to retreave the last female Uchiha?"
Naruto sat up and whispered "Tenshi"
Sasuke stood up and yelled "WHAT!"
Asuma shook his head and looked at Kurinai "Why do we bother trying to keep secrets from Sasuke when this idiot blurts them out all the time"
Kurenai just shrugged.
