Disclaimer:I own NOTHING of Naruto, only MIYUKI


Miyuki sat on the clearing floor. She sat cross legged, eyes closed, trying to relax, but she couldn't. She laid back down, looking into the sky, the blue sky with white clouds. 'Is my life really back in danger? Just when I thought maybe I could relax for a while...' She closed her eyes again, 'I don't want to go back.. but I can't put others in danger..' She sat up, rubbing her scared eye, 'I'm lucky I escaped in the first place, I couldn't let all the research Rin and Hiku go to waste, especially with them giving their lives up for someone like me...'

Miyuki got up, dusting herself off then headed back to the village. She cast her vision down, not wanting to actually go anywhere populated. She stopped, feeling a chakra presences. 'Kakashi's? No, not enough, and it's too much to be one of the genin..' She reached for her kunai pouch, 'One shot, that's all I have..' She stopped and continued walking. 'If this person is just following me, there's a good chance I can lose them, if they wanted to attack, they could have just now..' She kept her eyes narrowed, but kept a normal pace, not letting them think they were getting to her.

She turned, dodging a kunai knife and took her last one out before feeling the ground on her back, her arms held above her by one hand. Looking up, she came face to face with Kabuto. Her eyes widen, 'Oh no..'

"Nice try Miyuki, but you're coming back with me. Lord Orochimaru needs a few more poisons tested out and you're the perfect candidate." Kabuto said. She went to yell when he slapped his hand over her mouth, "I dare you to scream, the first person who tries to save you will die."

She bit his hand, "I don't need anyone to save me!" She felt a sting on her left cheek, and involuntary tears form.

"You better watch it Miyuki. I'm not afraid to kill you." He said holding a kunai to her neck.

She closed her eyes, she felt the cold metal tighten against her neck, then she spit right in his face, which was followed by another sting. "I've had it with you!" Kabuto yelled.

She shut her eyes and was ready for death.. But she felt the weight disappear, and something sitting her up, holding onto her. She opened her eyes, seeing a vest, then looked up, seeing him.

Kabuto stood up, "I see we met again Kakashi, just in time to save someone aren't you?"

Kakashi held onto Miyuki tighter, taking a kunai out, "You bet I am."

Kabuto smirked, "Looks like I'll have to get her later, until then." He said before disappearing.

Miyuki looked at him with shock, "Kakashi? How.. How did you...?"

"I ran into him a few moments ago." He said putting his kunai back, "After I learned he was working with Orochimaru, I knew more than likely if Orochimaru sent him after Sasuke, he would send him after you." He looked down at her and was taken back at the red mark on her left cheek, his hand instantly went to it.

Miyuki felt his hand and winced a bit, "Ow.." She whispered.

He drew his hand back, "Miyuki.." He held onto her tighter, "I'm so sorry, I should have been here sooner.."

It was her turn to be in shock, "Kakashi, it's.. It's okay.." She said holding on to him, "Really.. I've.. I've been through worst.."

She felt his grip tighten, "I'm so sorry.." He pleaded, "I should have.. If I just.."

Miyuki hugged him, "Kakashi's it's okay, you didn't know.. please, don't blame yourself, it's my own fault, please don't do this to yourself.." She said.

But he was, and he held her, "I promise, on my life, I won't let anything or anyone hurt you. I promise Miyuki."

Her grip loosen before it tighten, she couldn't get through to him, she wasn't going to argue anymore with him. He pulled her back looking at her, "I wish I could stay with you, and guard you, but I'm training Sasuke. I'm going to get someone else-"

"No!" She said, "I can't put anyone else in danger, you is enough, I'll be fine for the month, I promise, please.." She looked at him, her eyes panicked yet confident.

His mind was lost, then shook his head, "You promise not to do anything reckless?"

She nodded, and he hesitantly let her go, standing them both up. "Just take care, don't go to far from the populated areas."

Again, she nodded, and looked at him, "You're still overprotected." She whispered before heading off her own way.

Kakashi watched her leave, a bit taken back at what she had said, but ran his fingers through his hair, sighing. 'You give me no choice but to be over protective.' he thought before heading off his way.
