Chapter Twenty - War Of My Life
The silver haired ANBU captain glared down to the smoking old man in front of him and a silver eyebrow twitched in annoyance under the ANBU's dog mask.
"You-You can't be serious, Sandaime*...!" the ANBU said, hidding his annoyance while stepping closer to the desk the old man sat behind.
"And why can't I be that?" Sandaime asked the silver haired ANBU in front of him and let out a little smoke cloud after have been puffing on his pipe for a really long time. "She has been working with you before and both of you know each others very well, I would say. And besides that, she is an excellent iryou-nin* and you need one in your team..."
The slightly annoyed silver haired ANBU looked down to the floor and it was hard to make out what kind of face expression he had under his mask.
"I know that my team need an iryou-nin, but I refuse to have her in my team..." he said and glanced up to Sandaime, who was still puffing on his pipe.
"It can't be helped, Kakashi-Kun... She have been, as I said before, working with you before and therefor she doesn't need to accommodate to how you lead your team and your fighting style and she is an iryou-nin... This mission requires that all of you can get along..." Sandaime said and took the scroll on the desk. "Take it, or she will be placed with another ANBU team for this mission... The choice is yours..."
The silver haired ANBU Kakashi, glared down to the scroll in Sandaime's hand, before he took it still with an annoying look on his face and turned on his heels.
"Kakashi-Kun... You know why I putted her in your team..." Sandaime suddenly said and that made Kakashi to turn around slightly to look at his Hokage.
"No..." he lied and Sandaime sighed while closing his eyes.
"Because I trust you to bring back your team, like you have done every other times..." Sandaime said simpely and Kakashi frowned behind his ANBU mask. "I don't know what nonsense you have put into your head, but I will prove to you that it is not a curse..."
The young silver haired Kakashi looked away from Sandaime with a shrug.
"Who said it was a curse..." and with that the silver haired young man was gone with a 'poof'.
The Hokage of Konoha sighed deeply once more and removed the pipe from his mouth, blowing out some smoke and looking to the fading grey cloud that was left of the young man who had teleported himself elsewhere.
This boy, Shiroi Kiba's* son, was indeed an intriguing person.
~oOo~
A brown haired young woman with deep drown eyes, glanced to two masked men standing a bit away from her and she narrowed her eyes to them.
They hadn't said a word since they had got here, but in the restless way they glared down to the soft green grass on the Third Training Ground, they both were annoyed up over their heads.
The young woman couldn't help to pout slightly behind her ANBU masked. It wasn't like him to be late for a mission, but she hadn't been in the same team as him since he had died all those years ago and she had heard those unbelivable storys about that famous man, who always was late to everything and nothing.
It made her quite sad to know that the famous man, she had adored as a young girl, had become like this. He wasn't his oldself anymore and well, nither was she.
A loud 'poof' and a big smoke cloud brought the young kunoichi back to reality and she watched how the other two glanced to the smoke cloud, with annoyance written all over their tensed bodys. But nither of them said a word, almost like they were afraid of the one who would step out of the smoke cloud.
A slender silver haired male ANBU with a dog masked appeared out off the smoke cloud and he looked at his little team in front of him, consisted of two men and what it seemed to be, a tall lanky brown haired woman with a bird mask.
The silver haired man growled inwardly and suddenly one of the other male ANBU spoke.
"You are late..."
"With four hours..." the other male ANBU said to the silver haired one.
"Eh... But you see, I got trapped by a horde of shopping frenetical womens and one of them almost killed me with her brick to handbag..." the silver haired ANBU told them and rubbed his head sheepishly, while the other two male's growled to him, that he lacked the true leadership of an ANBU captain and the brown haired woman couldn't help to giggle slightly.
She reminded that really bad excuse, though this silver haired man hadn't been the first one who had said it and it had woke old memories to live. Memories of a time when they just had been innocent childrens.
The silver haired ANBU looked to the woman and raised his eyebrow to her behind his mask and the young woman noticed that he was looking to her behind his mask. She stopped to giggle and her face turned red with embarrassment, fortunately for her, no one could see it because of the mask she wore.
"Anyway, I'm here now and we have a mission to do..." the silver haired ANBU told them and began to take out some scrolls and an envelope and placed it on the ground, while crouching down and pulled out some photos from the envelope and unsealed the scrolls.
The woman walked closer to the three men, who all was crouching down to look down to the scrolls and the photos and she did the same.
"Alright!" their silver haired ANBU captain said and looked up to them while pointing to a red X-mark on the map in front of them. "This markings here, represent the village Tougan in the east coast of Hi no Kuni* and this village is were our mission to find this man starts..."
The silver haired ANBU placed the mission scroll over the map and let his team take a look at it.
"White male, probably around his early twenties, burgundy hair, black eyes, 72 inches and about 70kg... This man is our target and we are suppose to take him back to Konoha alive, if not possible, we are under order to assassinate him..."
"What is his status...?" a male ANBU with carrot red hair and a horse mask asked and looked up to their Taichou.
"Iwa* chuunin, possible jounin... Deserted his village some years ago, turned up in the Bingo Book as a nukenin* about two years ago..." their Taichou said and looked to the carrot red haired ANBU.
"What about his skills? Is there anything about his fighting style?" the other ANBU, with strawberry blonde hair and an ox mask asked and their Taichou looked quiet down to the scrolls in front of them.
"If there were any, I didn't see it... Iwa haven't been so keen to inform the other Hidden Village about their nukenin's or for that matter skills and techniques..." the silver haired ANBU said and the brown haired woman could hear the bitterness in his voice.
"Humph... I bet they don't care a fuck about what their lost shinobi's does in their spare time... They don't even hunt them down! No wonder they have most nukenin of all of the Five Nations...!" the strawberry blonde ANBU muttered, glancing down to the scrolls. "And we are the one who is suffering because of it..."
"Well after all, their village is lead by a senile demented geezer, you can't blame them from running away from my own village..." the carrot red haired ANBU said while giving the woman to their Taichou's right a fast glance. "And by the way Haiiro-Chan*, who is he...?"
"Will you stop with calling me Haiiro-Chan!" the silver haired ANBU growled annoyed. "I am not as old as you think I am! And she is our iryou-nin for this mission... Could we please continue...?"
"Is she our iryou-nin...?" the carrot haired ANBU said and leaned closer to the woman who leaned away from him. "Are you really sure that she is a she...? I mean, she is slender like a really thiny guy..."
"Of couse I'm certain!" the sliver haired ANBU barked out and the brown haired woman blushed under her mask. And it seemed like the silver haired ANBU noticed what he had said and he to flushed some. "Can we go on? We don't have much time left..."
The two other male ANBU nodded their heads and let their ANBU captain continue.
"Good... And as I said, we don't know much about this man, only his appearances... So when I say move with cautious, I mean it..." their ANBU captain said and then he pushed the photos for them to look even closer at them.
"Wh-What is that...?" the brown haired woman suddenly asked, making the three male ANBU to jump slightly.
"It is a human..." the carrot red haired ANBU said and looked up to the slightly stupefied woman in front of them.
"At least what was left of a young woman it looks like..." the strawberry blonde said with a bit of amusement in his tone, when he saw how the brown haired woman looked away from the pictures. "So, what is it you want with showing us these loathsome photos...?
"The act of a highly professional serial killer..." the silver hiared ANBU told them and he could feel how all of them tensed. "We don't know his motive to why he does it, but it all these murders is comitted in the same way and by the same killer... Him..." he pointed to the picture in the mission scroll. "By Rakuseki Kashi, all the evidence we have, points towards this nukenin from Iwa..."
"This mission is kind of fuzzy, Haiiro-Chan... Don't you think...?" the carrot red haired muttered and glanced down to the photos once more. "I mean, we don't know a fuck about this man and yet you say that all the evidence points to this man... How can we be so certain it is really this nukenin...?"
"We have statment from five of these murdered womans families, that he is the man who was the last one to see the them before they got killed by someone, Ninjin...!" their captain continued and looked to the carrot red haired man and both of the ANBU males know that their capatin only called them by the name when he was angry or frusrated with them. "And all of them have confirmed that he was the one who had married their daughters the same day the got killed, don't you see a patterns here?"
None of them said a word until a thiny voice spoke up beside their silver haired captain.
"All of these womans, who was killed, was from wealthy families and if he really is the one who killed them... Then maybe we have the motives to why he killed them, even if the evidence doesn't point towards him..." she said and the three male ANBU looked to her. "I mean, money have always made people kill each other..."
"True, but why do it so cold bloody...?" the carrot haired man asked and looked down to the photos. "If he only was after the money, he could just have done it easily for him and slit her throat, but I don't see why he would cut her like that and make everything look like a massacre... If he isn't like our friend here, Noichigo who loves the tast of blood in the morning..."
The carrot haired man slapped the strawberry blonde man, Noichigo on his back and Noichigo growled low.
"If you aren't careful, Ninjin... I will make sure that it will be your blood I will be first to tast..." Noichigo growled and glanced to the carrot head beside him, who wave his hands in a surrender sort of manner and the silver haired ANBU sighed.
"Anyway, I believe she is right about that, because Sandaime got some news from one of our Shinobi's about a marriage that will take place in a few days..." their captain said and glanced to both Noichigo and Ninjin, who both stiffened. "And it is the same man who was married to the murdured womens, just his name is different and he is going to marry a young woman who comes from a rich family, just like the rest of them did... If that isn't evidence enough for you to take this mission seriously, then I will have to ask Sandaime to change you to two others..."
"...Hai..." Noichigo and Ninjin said and both of them knew that their captain was the one who took action when it needed to be take. And even if he was much younger then both of them, he could still cause fear among his elders in ANBU, because of his swirling crimson eye.
And that was why many in ANBU didn't mess with him (only if they didn't knew better). And after all, he was that famous; Sharingan no Kakashi. A man you should fear and run for your life (if you had any sense at all).
"Alright... We will move in one unit and when we come closer to the village, we will move in pair to serch for this man..." the silver haired ANBU Kakashi said and began to roll up the scrolls and place the photos back in its envelope. "If you see him, don't take action. Send words and wait for back up... Is that clear!"
"Hai!" all three of them said and Kakashi gave the signal to them to move out and so they did, with Kakashi taking the lead.
~oOo~
The silver haired Kakashi jumped from tree to tree with his team behind him and suddenly he could feel someone coming closer to him.
"Kakashi-Kun...?"
He turned his head to the one who had said his name and he wasn't surprised to see the brown haired female ANBU jumping beside him. He didn't say a word to her and turned his head back to look in front of him.
"Why are you ignoring me, Kakashi-Kun...?" she said and her voice didn't hide the hurt in it. "If I did some wrong back then, I'm sorry..."
"No... You didn't, I was the one who did something wrong back then..." he finally told her, but didn't look to her. "I took advantage of your misery back then. It was wrong of me... I'm sorry, Rin... It will not happen again..."
"You don't have to apologize... It wasn't like I didn't want or liked it..." she mumbled softly and she was glad that she was wearing a mask to hide her blushing. "So don't apologize..."
"Do we have to talk about it now? This talk isn't suited right at the moment..." Kakashi told her and he glanced back to the other two members of the team. "So can we talk about it some other time-..."
"When are we going to have that talk then...?" Rin asked him and she looked to him behind her ANBU mask. "We haven't talked about it since then and you have been ignoring me every since then... That is why I wonder if I did something wrong back then, so did I do something that made you angry...?"
"No, you didn't do anything wrong, Rin..." Kakashi mumbled and looked away from her. "You were sad and you seeked comfort with me and I took advantage of it... It was I who did something wrong, as I told you and that was why I didn't want to talk about it and that was why I ignored you... It was just a mistake and that is why I apologize for what I did to you, again..."
"Just a mistake...? So that is what you see it as...? A mistake...?" she told him and he could hear how she tried to keep her voice steady. "I know that you have been hurting too! So it wasn't like you took advantage of me... I know that you was as much sad as me back then, when Sensei died and even Obi-..."
"Don't ! Don't say his name..." he looked back to her and she wasn't sure if she could hear a faint tone of sadness in his voice.
She knew that he had taken the death of their team mate and even Sensei as bad as she had. And he (still) blamed himself for their deaths, because of his lack of power back then. But she knew he couldn't have change their fate back then. Their fate was sealed with Kami* the day they were born and as a shinobi, you could be happy if you survived long enough to have kids of your own.
"It was not your fault that he died... And not even when Sensei died..." Rin told Kakashi who had turned to look in front of him again. "Kakashi, I still Love Yo-..."
"No, you don't..." he told her sharply, making the brown haired Rin, to flinch by his harsh tone. "You don't love me... You love the image you see of me, but you don't love me for who I am..."
"Kakashi, I don't understand what you mean...? When I say that I Love you, I really Love you. It is not the image of you I Love, I Love everything about you!" Rin told him and she began to feel how hot tears began to emerge from her eyes, but she suppressed them angerly.
"Rin, I'm not going to discuss this with you right now... We are on a mission right now, we can't let our problems have priority over this mission... Is that clear...!" Kakashi told her a little harsher then he felt was necessary, but it looked like she had get the point when she bent down her head while apologizing and moved back to the other two, who gave her strange looks.
Kakashi sighed deeply and he had knew from the very beginning that taking Rin with him during this mission was like asking for problems. Sure she was a really good iryou-nin and she could probably compete with Tsunade-Hime (if she just had putted her back into it), but it was that other part. That other part that concerned their private life (which Sandaime had began to put his own bloody nose into business that didn't concern him) and Kakashi wasn't all too happy in the way Sandaime had introduce Rin back into his life again (not after how Kakashi had tried to distance himself from everyone that had meant something to him, that included Rin).
And somehow, it was almost like Konoha's Hokage knew that something was not right between Kakashi and his 'former' team-mate, Rin. Like he knew what had happened between the two of them and was now trying to put all his power into make them friends again. But it was not that easily (like Sandaime believed it would be) for them (or at least for Kakashi) to be 'good' friends again, after all they had both comitted themself into the act of one of the Shinobi Sins;
They had slept with each other.
He should have felt 'happy' and even somehow complete (after all it had been his and even hers first time), but he didn't. All he could feel was guilt and shame. Guilt that he had done it when he knew her feeling towards him (while he didn't share the same feelings towards her) and shame because he had taken advantege of her in a state of weakness.
It had been after that he had totally stopped to see her and he had just shrugged at her when she had asked to talk to him about that night, because there was nothing to talk about.
And even if he knew that Rin hadn't regret what they had done, he still did it. To him it was like he had voilated his own and only sister, because that was what she was to him. A sister. And he didn't have the curage (or heart) to tell her that and he knew that she was suffering because he didn't tell her what he really felt. But his own ego, was pleased that at least one was still loving him even after all he had done wrong (even if that didn't make him any happier), she was still oblivious to the fact that he only saw her as a sister and he knew that what they had done hadn't helped him to tell her any easier.
"Oi! Haiiro-Chan-Taichou!" the carrot red haired Ninjin suddenly called behind Kakashi, who turned his head around to look at him.
"What?" Kakashi growled and that made the other two to flinch slightly by his harsh tone.
"If you haven't noticed, we have missed the village with three km..." Ninjin said and the silver haired ANBU stopped dead in his tracks, forcing the other three to do the same.
"Why didn't you tell me that earlier?" Kakashi barked, turning 180 degrees around and jumped down from the trees they had been jumping throught and landed on the soft grass covered ground with a loud thud.
The other in the team followed him shortly after, while Noichigo and Ninjin looked to their Taichou with a bit of worry.
"We tried to get your attention, but we couldn't reach you... It was almost like you where in a different world..." Noichigo gruff and Ninjin nodded agreeable, while the short cut brown haired Rin stood beside them feeling a bit guilty.
All Kakashi could do now was to turn on his heels and walk back those three km they had missed the village with, while telling his team about how they would continue this mission, that had already turn out bad to worse.
"Isn't it a saying that says, that having a girl in a team is doomed with bad luck...?" Noichigo huffed, while glaring to Rin and Kakashi glanced to the five years older ANBU behind him.
"No... I think it was on a ship, not on a team..." Ninjin corrected the strawberry blonde ANBU, who gruff even more and Rin looked down to the ground, feeling even more out of place.
"You are complaining more then usually, Noichigo..." Kakashi told the strawberry blonde and glanced to Rin, who was walking too far behind the rest of them. "Rin, you are falling behind!"
"Gomennasai*... I'm just not used to this sort of moving..." Rin told him, while gasping slightly for air and Kakashi knew that she had reached her limit, after all she hadn't been trained like the ANBU had been.
"Ninjin, take care of Rin..." Kakashi told the carrot head who glared to him behind his mask.
"Are you kidding? I'm not a baby-sitter!" he told the silver haired ANBU, but he changed his mind shortly after when he could feel the irritated and killing chakra leaking out from their Taichou. "Rin-Chan, was it?"
~oOo~
Kakashi looked up to the stary, midnight blue nightsky and the big full moons light shined down to the quiet little seaport called, Tougan and he sighed heavily.
For once his two team mates had been right about this whole mission. It had been nothing more then just suspicions on a man that was more or less unknown and all that had happened during the whole wedding was just a meaningless quarrels between two drunk guests. And the suspected was just as normall as any civilian that had been invited was and that had annoyed Kakashi really much.
But that didn't keep him from still suspect this man (who had married that really young, beautiful looking daughter to the village leader) and he had followed every move he had made after the wedding was over.
And here he was, sitting on a cold roof to one of the many houses, glancing down to the window that was showing the new weddeds bed room (after all, the crime had been comitted in the bed room on the wedding night) and he was all alone.
The stupid/annoying duo had disappeared into a bar somewhere, during their walk back to the inn they had been staying at during these two days before the wedding, thinking their job was over (even if it wasn't) and Rin had told him that she was tired and she would get back to the inn to get some sleep and that she would switch with him in three hours, so he too could get some sleep.
Those three hours had already passed and Kakashi was a bit worry that Rin hadn't woke up yet, but she was know to be a heavy sleeper so he didn't think so much about it. Infact he was quite happy that she was still slepping, because then he could focuse more on the suspected then to protect her as well as himself and the victim.
He glanced carelessly down to the window of the new weddeds bed room and to his surprise, the light had been still on like it had been three hours ago and no movements had been made since then.
Kakashi felt how a cold shiver was running down along his spin. Had he missed something important during that little short time he had been thinking of other things?
No, he couldn't have. Even if he had been thinking about other stuff, he would certainly have seen if something was happening in that room. He wasn't that big of an idiot to miss something like that.
He rasied from the roof pretty fast and jumped down to the ground, landing almost soundlessly on the cobblet street and hurried to the front door of the new weddeds house, taking the door handle in his hand and was surprised when the door wasn't even locked. But he hadn't time to think about that right at the moment, the woman could be in danger or even killed.
Kakashi barge into the house, took a look around in the hall before he rushed up the stairs to his right and walked towards the bed room. He stopped at the bed room door, leaned closer to it while trying to hear any sound that could tell him what was going on in that room, but he found no noise that could determine if she was okay or if she had been killed.
So he opened the bed room door slowly, while sniffing in the air, but all he could smell was the heavy perfume that was still lingering in the room and Kakashi wanted to puke, because of the acrid smell of that old lady perfume the young woman seemed to be wearing. He stepped closer to the opened door and he was frozen to the spot.
Never in his life had he been so embarrassed as he was right now. What he found wasn't a woman in need (well she seemed to be in need, but not in that kind of need). He had found a woman that was compleatly stark naked right in front of him and she seemed to not have noticed him quite yet (due to the fact she had her eyes closed, while she massage places he had only touched once).
Kakashi was so shocked that he just starred at the woman in the bed, who began to do all kind of strange moans and it was when Kakashi took a deep, shaky and thick breath that the woman finally took notice of her unwanted guest in the doorway.
She gave away a yell shrike of surprise and began to cover herself with the dark red bedspread she was lying on and Kakashi (who finally) was brought back from his trance-shocked like state, just in time to avoide a white sateen pillow that was trown at him.
The curly blonde woman looked to the silver haired masked covered guy in front of her and she was surprised that he had avoided that pillow that quickly, but that didn't stop her from trowing random object towards him and he avoided all of them with a gracefulness that she never had seen in a burglar or for that matter a rapist before.
"Please, Emiko-Sama! Stop trowing things at me!" Kakashi barked out and the blonde woman Emiko hesitated, while holding a heavy lamp in a firm grip.
"How-How did you know my name...?" she asked him and she could see how his tension lessen.
"I have been watching you for some times now and-..." he was cut off by the porcelain lamp hitting the wall right beside his face.
"PERVET!" she shriked and trowed the porcelain lamps twin at him, who missed him by just inches and hit the wall to his left side. "RAPIST! IT IS A RAPIST IN MY HOME! SOMEONE, PLEASE HELP ME!"
"Please Emiko-Sama, listen to me... I'm not coming here to rape you... I'm one of Konohas ANB-..." the rest of his words died away, due to a heavy iron sculpture of a naked woman body, who had hit him hard on his head making him fell unconscious to the floor.
Kakashi woke up just a moment later to find him still on the floor, with a bloody towel on his head and a concern looking woman to his right. He glanced to her and felt how something was missing.
`My ANBU mask... Fuck...ยด
"Who are you...?" she asked him and watched how he sat himself up from the floor, holding the bloody towel to his head.
"Whom I am is classified information..." Kakashi told her and he could see how she began to pout while still looking suspicious to him.
"Then how would I know that you aren't the one who is going to rape me...?" she asked him and he rasied an eyebrow at her.
"Do I look like I'm someone who would rape girls...?" Kakashi growled.
"Nooo... But my husband said that I should be carefull if someone would barge into our home... He said something about it could be a rapist..." Emiko said, still pouting like a child and it really suited her doll like face. "So how would I know that you aren't a rapist...?"
"If I had been a rapist, Emiko-Sama... I wouldn't be laying here on the floor with a bloody towel, wouldn't I?" he told her coldly and she looked thoughtful up to the ceiling.
"Hum... Maybe not..." she said with a bit of afterthought.
Kakashi rolled his eye and grabbed his ANBU mask that was laying beside him and rasied from the floor, while putting his ANBU mask on to his face.
"Where is your husband? I mean it is after all your wedding night..." Kakashi said and turned to the door that leaded out to the hall.
"Um... He said that he had things to take care of... He has always been like that, so I'm not surprised if he left me even on my wedding night..." she said and he could hear the hurt in her voice.
"How long have you knowing him...?" Kakashi asked, still pressing the towel to his bleeding wound on his head.
"Oh, well... about nine days..." she told him with a naive smile on her face.
"Nine days!" Kakashi burst out and turned to look at her and she nodded her head.
"Un*... He said that he never had seen a beautifuller girl like me, in a long time and he wanted to marry me at once..." she said with a faint blush on her cheeks.
To Kakashi this sounded a bit suspicious. Even if war had been the reason to many fast marriage during the years, the one who had decided to marry each other had at least known each other for some years. But this woman had walked into a marriage with a compleatly stranger. Either this woman was as blonde as she looked like or she had been somehow tricked.
And it was at this moment Kakashi was sure of one thing. They had found the man, but right now this man was gone and god know where he could be right now.
~oOo~
The young silver haired ANBU walked quite fast back towards the inn. He needed to wake up his team mate Rin, so she could help him to find the other two idiots that where somewhere in this village. And he was still bothered by why Rin hadn't showed up just like she had said she would do and he opened up the door to the inn and walked towards the stairs to the third floor, the floor their room was on.
The silver hiared ANBU stiffened when he reached the hall on the third floor. Something felt off and he couldn't really put his finger on what was wrong. As he walked down the hall to their room 314, he could hear how moans penetrated through the walls as he passed room 306 and later 310. He couldn't really understand why people was sounding so loud when they had some 'fun time' in the bed, he shrugged the thoughts away when he reached his room 314 and grabbed the doorknob to the door.
It was then he paused in his movements and backed away from the door. Someone was inside of that room. Someones chakra he couldn't recognize at all. And the thing that disturbed him even more was that he barly could feel Rin's chakra in the room. Why had she left the room without even serching after him first? And why was this unrecognizable chakra in their room?
But the only thing he was certain of was that this chakra inside of room 314, was the chakra from a very high skilled Shinobi and it was the only reason for him to even open the door slowly and walked quiet into the room.
The room had two separate parts. One part was the little living room like part, that he stood in right now and behind the dark oak door was the bed room with two doubble beds.
As he walked closer to the bed room he began to hear noises (or rather he could hear soft thuds of the headboard to the bed hitting the wall with even thuds), from the slightly open door. He stepped closer to the dark oak door and glanced inside to the bed room.
What he saw was shocking him right into the very core of his soul and he didn't know he wanted to turn around to throw up his guts, barge into the bed room attacking the man who was in the room or do just both of those things. Because what he saw in front of him, wasn't something you always saw as a Shinobi...
Blood had splattered down the wooden floor as well as the (once) white walls in the bed room and a burgundy haired male was howering over a lifeless body on one of the beds. Licking the blood off the bodys face, while thrusting into the the lifeless body of a short cut brown haired female.
The man growled out his plesure of screwing the lifeless body of the young brown haired woman. Then he slowed his pace and glanced to the oak door. His black eyes was shining crimson in the soft moon light and with a smirk he glanced to the silver haired ANBU (who was looking horrified at him from the door way).
"Do you want to join... Kiddo..." the mans husky baritton voice asked the ANBU in the door way.
Kakashi flinced when the man suddenly had began to talk to him and the horror who had filled his mind just a minute ago, was suddenly all gone and had been replaced with pure hate and fury towards this man in front of him.
Kakashi glanced to the pale blood covered hand that was hanging limply out from the edge of the bed. He knew that hands owner and he shut his eye just to try to control his own emotions. He knew that he couldn't do anything to help her right now and he needed to focus if he wanted to come out of this situation alive.
"Why don't you come out...? I think this young lady would want you to fuck her too..." the man said, still glancing to the oak door before he turned his attention to the body on the bed. "Wasn't he the one you scremed for when I took you...? Say his name... Sweetheart..."
It was really faint, but her soft broken lips parted as she said the name.
"Ka-...kashi-..."
The dark oak door flew open with a loud crack and blue and white sparks was lighting up the blood staind floor and walls, along with a chirping sound that was coming closer and closer to the man howering over the body of the brown haired female.
Kakashi had finally snapped. Hearing the broken voice of his team mate had been the drip that caused the beaker to overflow and he could finally hear the satisfied sound of frizzling skin as Chidori met its victim and the crashing sound of broken glass as the man and Kakashi was flewing out through the big window, just from Kakashi's raw power of the Chidori covored punch.
Kakashi and the man landed hard on the cobbled street outside of the inn and this man could be lucky that the Chidori hadn't burn a hole into his backside.
Kakashi rasied himself from the ground, using his hand and his forearm as support while glaring to the man on the ground behind his ANBU mask. The man was still laying on the cold cobbled street, face down and Kakashi didn't know if he had killed him or not. As he felt cold wet drops falling down on him (from the now clouded nightsky), he felt how almost all of his hate and fury was washed away from him as the rain kept on increasing its amount of drops, until his sight was blurry by all the rain that had slipt under his ANBU mask.
He turned his gaze from the man on the street to the broken window of the inn. He didn't really want to go back in there to be face what he knew would face him, but knowing that maybe she would have a better chance to survive then his long gone team mate had have, he finally stood up and turned to go back inside of the room.
"And where do you think you are going, gaki*...?"
Kakashi froze in his track and felt how his whole body turned slowly to face the man who was still laying on the ground. Blood run from his mouth as he looked up to the the silver haired ANBU.
The man rasied from the ground a bit shaky while spitting out blood and he was still glaring at Kakashi, whose hand had found the katana on his back and was now pointing its tip towards the man in front of him.
"Do you really think you could kill me with that thing...?" the man said mockingly to Kakashi, whoes grip only hardened around the handle of his katana. "You didn't even try to kill me before, with that jutsu of yours... What kind of ANBU are you...?"
Kakashi looked wide eyed to the man in front of him.
Didn't even try to kill him? Kakashi did try to kill him with Chidori, but somehow this man survived an attack that would be fateal to him. And yet this man dared to stand in front of Kakashi and mocking him, who did this man think he was?
"I'm the kind of ANBU who will kill you...!" Kakashi growled to the man in front of him, who began to smirk mockingly to him.
"I have to admit that you have a really powerful Raiton*, it surprised me... And do you know how to survive a powerful jutsu? Well of course you do, you are an ANBU after all..." he said mockingly with his smooth barriton voice. "But in case you should have forgotten, I will tell you... The way of surviving a Nature affinity jutsu is either to have a Nature jutsu that will weakner the attckers jutsu or you must have the same Nature as the attacker that is more powerful then the attackers..."
The man suddenly appeared just inches from Kakashi's katana and looked up to Kakashi's dog ANBU mask, smiling even wider then before.
"So... Which one do you think I have...?" the man suddenly asked Kakashi, who was take by surprise by his quick movement and watchs how the burgundy haired man grabbed the katana. "...Dengeki*..."
Kakashi flew backwards, hitting his back into the inns wall and he felt how the air left his lungs, as he tried to inhale a raspy breath. Kakashi glanced to the man in front of him, who had trowed away the katana to the ground and Kakashi was thankful that he had realized fast enough which Nature this man possesed. Making Kakashi to let go of the handle of his katana before any more damage could be done to his body, resulting in just some burn damage to his glow covered hands and some back pain (due to the after effect of this mans jutsu, that had made him flew into the inns wall).
This mans jutsu was indeed powerful. Probably even more powerful then his own (that was said to be one of the most feared and powerful Raiton Jutsu that existed) and Kakashi didn't know if he could beat this man with only his Chidori that was his most poweful jutsu he had. He didn't even know if his Sharingan eye could help him out of this battle. But at least he would die a befitting death, as the shinobi he was.
Kakashi shook his head, making the dirt and water fell off from his silver hair and he stood up, pulled out a kunai from his holster and began to watch the burgundy haired man closely.
"What's the matter, gaki? Have you wet your pants already?" the burgundy haired man mocked Kakashi, who clenched his jaw hard.
He had already done an impulsive action and it hadn't been to his favour, so he needed to be calm and think of something that could made him win this battle. But even how hard he tried, he couldn't think of anything that could be a weakness to this man in front of him. It was like Kami mocked him for being the one he was. For being that famous Sharingan No Kakashi.
His famous was only due to pure luck and being at the right place at the right moment.
"Wet my pans...? I was about to ask you the same thing..." Kakashi finally said, feeling more braver then he really was and saw how the mocking smirk faded from the mans face, before metal meet metal.
The burgundy haired man was indeed a skilled fighter and so was even Kakashi. Kakashi's kunai made screeching noices as it slide against the mans tantou*, pushing each other to the max while trying to overpower one another.
It was suddenly in one of his pure luck coincidence, that Kakashi saw one opening that could make this battle to gain him (even if that meant to be a blow below the belt and to this burgundy haired mans pried), but Kakashi needed every opening he could get. He pulled out, as fast as he could, a second kunai from his holster with his free hand and thrusted it towards the mans groin, cutting a deep scratch to the mans pants, while cutting both of the testicles on the burgundy haired man at the same time.
Kakashi saw how the mans blood covered his hand and heard how the man screamed his pain. And Kakashi felt a sickening satisfaction how he had made this mans pain and loss. It had felt like he had paid back for what this man had done to Rin, even if it only was just little.
The man fell to his knees, bleeding heavily as he glared up to Kakashi, who limped away from the man on the cobbled ground.
"Damn you...!" the man growled, still glaring murderous up to Kakashi who didn't like the mans gaze on him. That man had something going on in his mind and it couldn't be any good. "You will pay for this, gaki...!"
Kakashi panted exhausted, feeling that he had used his sharingan too much in this fight, just to be ahead of this mans flawless fighting skill. And he began to frown when he saw the hand signs the bloody burgundy haired man began to do. And Kakashi's realization was confirmed by this mans hand signs. It was indeed a Raiton based jutsu.
"Raiton: Jin Dengeki!*"
A distant thunder could be heard in the clouded rain heavy nightsky and Kakashi watch how the man in front of him began to give away some crackling noises and a his chakra shoot out from his body like small lightning bolts.
The thunder grew more closer to the town and Kakashi could tell it was a hell of a thunderstorm that had come over the seaport, as lightning struck down in the water at the habour, making the ground to shake just by the after sound of the hit and Kakashi began to fear for this seaports safty.
The mans chakra covered body began to shoot out even more of those lightning bolts and its crakling noise got even louder, loud enough to make the man in front of Kakashi to shout out his words.
"This is my final jutsu! It will perish you, along with this town!" the man shouted to Kakashi who looked shocked-terrified to the man in front of him. "Rakuseki Kashi is the name of your killer! Do remember my name even in death!"
The crackling noise had been turned into sound of pure electricity and his body could no longer been seen behind the curtain of light blue chakra around him and suddenly the chakra shoot up to the dark clouded rainy sky like some kind of pillar. A pillar that attract lightning.
The thunder roared in the sky like some kind of mystical antique monster that couldn't be seen and Kakashi saw (to his horror) how the drowsy people of Tougan began to walk out of their homes to see the unnatural thunderstorm over their town.
"GO BACK INSIDE!" Kakashi shouted to the nearest people on the street, who just glared surprised to the ANBU masked man who had shouted to them. And even some of them gave him a look that said; "We-have-seen-this-before-It-will-be-over-soon".
But this wasn't an ordinary thunderstorm and Kakashi knew that, as he watched how the lightning pillar faded away (making some of the town people to talk about that unusually bolt of lightning that had strucked the street) and watching how the sky began to build up to a really big show. The last show that would take some of the town with it along with its people.
Kakashi glanced to the spot that burgundy haired man, Rakuseki Kashi had been kneeling on just seconds before the light pillar had disappeared and all he saw was a pile of wet ash. It seemed that this mans final jutsu had burned him to nothing more then dust and Kakashi was a bit glad that he no longer was forced to take care of this man, but another problem was facing him right now.
It was this mans last jutsu. Kakashi had an idea what it could be, but he had no idea how he could stop it. If he only had have affinity to Futon* he could maybe take care of what ever lightning that would hit, but he didn't have that kind of affinity and it was suddenly then the clouded sky released its charging.
Everything was unnatural quiet as the enormus amount of power was released from the sky, lighting up every corner of the town as the lightning 'monster' traveled towards the spot the wet pile of ashes that was still laying on the cobbled street.
Suddenly the terrified screams of peoples on the street could be heard as the monstrous lightning bolt came closer to them, making the people to run away in panic, but only one was standing his ground as he made some seals and jumped towards the lighting bolt, that looked like it had opened its monstrous gap to swollow the silver haired ANBU whole.
"CHIDORI!"
A chirping sound could be heard along with sparkling blue and white chakra, but everything was more or less drowned by the huge lightning 'monster' in the dark nightsky and the only thing that could be seen was a man in the sky, who was forcing the lightning back with his bare hands.
Kakashi felt how rest of his gloves was dissolved, by the strong lightning that he was holding back with willpower alone and felt how his ANBU masked began to crack appart and then it fell to the street below him. He desperately cling onto his last hope, that was his Chidori, which had began to burn his own hands as he suppressed the lightning 'monster' before him. But Kakashi knew that if he gave up now, everything would be lost and his promise to his long gone team mate would mean nothing. He wanted to protect everyone, even with the cost of his own life.
He mustered up all his chakra and strength he could getter and forced it into his Chidori, feeling how blood was running from his nose, to get stuck in his mask that covered half of his face and he could no longer feel his fingertips or for that matter his hand, as his Chidori forcingly 'pushed' back the lightning creature. He made a last attempt to 'brake' the creature and he had now idea where his last power came from, but it didn't matter as he felt how his Chidori began to cut throught the lightning creature, who gave away a deep howling sound that more sounded like a growling and then it finally disolved into small sparks as it fell to the street below (like a mass of shothing stars) and the cracking sound of thunder was no more.
Kakashi landed hard on the wet cobbled street and he moaned in pain as his sprained ankle throbbed painfully, as he tried to walk towards the inn. Passing people on his way to the inn (that tried to stop him), shrugging them off and continued his way to the inn. He looked up to the broken window on the third floor, forcing himself to jumping up all the way and landed in the dark, dirty and messy bed room of room 314.
He glanced to the bed closest to the broken window and he limped towards the bed and fall to his knees on the bloody and glass covered floor (not caring of the new pain that suddenly occurred), looking to the pale, brown haired woman in the bed. Her hazy deep brown eyes watched him, as he placed his hand on her cold, bloody hand, still looking to her with his dark grey eye while his sharingan eye was closed.
"Kakashi... I'm cold..." she mumbled to him and he looked down to her with slightly knitted eyebrows and he grasped her hand harder.
"Everything is going to be okay, Rin... Just hang in there a little longer, just until I have taken you to a medic... Everything is going to be fine... I promise..." Kakashi said to her with a hoarse voice, feeling how his eyes began to burn as she smiled faintly up to him.
"You don't have to-... have to tell me that, when I know it isn't..." she mumbled to him and tried to squeeze his hand, but faild terribly to do so. "I'm dying... I know that... and I have accept that..."
Kakashi shook his head in a disbelieving sort of way.
"...no..." he mumbled.
He couldn't accept that. He wouldn't accept that. He would take her back to Konoha and then everything would be fine again.
"You have always been the stubborn one... Kakashi-...Kun..." Rin mumbled with a sad smile one her pale lips. "I'm sorry... for everything..."
"Don't be... Please don't say anything more, save your strength, Rin... You will need it for our trip back to Konoha..." he told her and stroke her soft brown hair away from her pale face. "Please, Rin... I don't know if I could stand it, if you leave me too... I promised Obito... I promised him to protect you... I faild..."
Rin's gaze on him softned and with her last strength she moved away from Kakashi's hand above hers and reach out for his face. She placed a cold and bloody hand on his mask covered cheek, while smiling softly up to him.
"You didn't fail... Kakashi... I didn't ask you to protect me... and he will understand..." she told him weakly and her hand began to glide away from his cheek, but Kakashi caught it and let it linger in his soft grip. "...Be strong and protect everyone you care for..."
Kakashi looked down to Rin who still was looking at him with hazy eyes and he couldn't help to notice the tears in her eyes. He brushed softly away a tear that rolled down along her cold cheek and tried to smile to her.
"Rin... I have to tell you that I-..."
"Kakashi... You don't have to tell me... I know and it doesn't change the why I feel for you..." she mumbled and closed her eyes. "I know that you dislike me and thinking that I was weak... I'm sorry, that I made everything harder to you..."
"I never-...!"
"Kakashi... I Love... yo-..."
Rin's hand limped in his grip and Kakashi looked down to her with a painful expression in his face and closed his other hand around her cold lifeless hand and pressed it closer to his face. Feeling the cold and soft skin against his skin and he let go off tears he didn't know he even had. He hadn't even got the chanse to tell her what he really felt for her and all she belived he felt for her was only dislike and somehow it had paind him to hear her saying that.
He didn't dislike her and had never done so, but everything he had felt for her was a sister/brother love and nothing else.
He glanced to the peaceful face of his last team member of Team Minato and his heart ached when he looked at her.
Everything that he had tried to protect during all those years, he had now lost everyone of them...
~oOo~
"SAKURA!"
Kakashi shoot straight up from his bed, gripping the quilt hard as he let his other hand move through his mess of silver hair. His tank top was stuck to his sweaty body and he was forced to drag off his mask to whip off his sweaty face with the hand that had left his messy hair.
When had been the last time he had dreamt that dream? Well it had been many years ago, after all he had been seventeen when he had been on that mission.
But why had suddenly this dream change? Why had it been Sakura laying on that bed instead of Rin? Why had it been Sakura that had been laying there taking her last breath as she told him that she loved him?
No, she had never told him that she loved him (it had been Rin who had told him that) and Kakashi was confused by this dream because he never had heard Sakura saying those words to him, all he had could see was Sakura mumbling faintly words to him. Words he couldn't hear at all.
He tried to steady his breath as he looked to the clock on his nightstand beside the bed and frowned when he saw what time it was.
02:30 AM. That meant he had only slept for two hours and with that dream so freshly in his mind, he didn't know if he dared to fell back to sleep again. He didn't want to dream that dream again.
Suddenly he could hear a klick from his bed room door as the door slowly being open and as the old warrior he was, he tensed and was ready to take action. But he suddenly began to relax as he saw who had open the door and Kakashi sighed heavily.
"Aisoku... Why are you still up?" he asked the boy who stood in the door way and looked to the silver haired man in the bed.
"Couldn't sleep..." he mumbled and Kakashi could hear the embarrassed tone in his voice.
"Alright... Come hear..." Kakashi told the boy and made some room in the bed beside him and Aisoku quickly trowed himself in the bed beside Kakashi. "So, how come that you can't sleep? Nightmares?"
"No... I just get worried when Okaasan* is on missions..." Aisoku mumbled in the the pillow and glanced up to Kakashi, who nodded his head to him. "What if she doesn't come back..."
"Your Okaasan will come back, she is strong and she has Shikamaru with her... She is fine..." Kakashi ensured the boy beside him and patted Aisoku's head.
Aisoku looked doubtful up to Kakashi from the pillow and Kakashi couldn't blame him. Even if it was no more war, missions could go very wrong and Kakashi had heard just some days ago that one child in Aisoku's class had lost his father in a mission and after that Aisoku had began to be very anxious of his mother and even for Shikamaru.
"Aiso... It will not help you to get all worried about things you can't control... You will only stress yourself and get you even more worried..." Kakashi told the boy. "Your mother is a Kunoichi and I know that you are a smart kid, so I know that you understand why she has to be away on some times dangerous missions..."
The black-brown haired boy looked up to the silver haired man beside him and he nodded softly.
"I know..." he mumbled and then he glanced back to the pillow. "Because she loves me..."
"That is right... Because she loves you..."Kakashi said and ruffled Aisoku's hair, earning a giggle from the boy. "And now I think it's time for you to go back to bed..."
"Ojisan*..." Aisoku suddenly said and Kakashi looked down to the boy, acknowledge the boy with a light stroke over the boys head.
"You make me sound so old when you say that..." Kakashi told the boy who smiled up to him.
"But you are old..." Aisoku said and Kakashi huffed, while giving the boy light grin. "Was is it true, what you said at Ichiraku's? That you really have a girl that is pregnant?"
"Why do you ask that...?" Kakashi asked and looked surprised to him.
"Because I haven't found any more photos of you and her, than that one..." Aisoku said and pointed towards the chest of drawer.
"Oh...?" Kakashi looked even more surprised as he looked to the really shabby framed photo on the chest of drawer.
"And I feel really bad to have been lying to Teuchi Ossan* and Ayame-Neesan*, if she wasn't your girl..." Aisoku mumbled and Kakashi sighed.
"It's okay, Aiso... They will understand..."
"But why did you lie? Why did you lie that she was your girlfriend, when she wasn't...?"
"Well, some times you lie just to get out of a really troublesome situation..." Kakashi explained to the boy. "Why did you lie then?"
"I didn't know it was a lie! I heard Okaasan and Shikamaru-Ojisan talk about you and your weird friend..."
"You mean Sakura-San..."
"Hai... And they said something about you being too stupid to not see her as a woman..." Aisoku told Kakashi who really began to concider to murder Shikamaru when he come back. "So you are not going to be a dad then...?"
"No, I'm not..." Kakashi said and saw how the boy looked a bit sad.
"Why not...? Did you hurt her? Is that why you aren't together with her?" Aisoku asked. "Okaasan said that some times when people who love each other hurt each other, they are not together anymore... Is that what happened with you and Hiyayaka-San*?"
"It is a bit more complicated then that, I'm afraid..." Kakashi told the boy and sighed once more. "And just so you know, Aiso... We where never really together, we where just really good friends... And-..."
"So that baby, was never yours?"
"Who said it was mine...?" Kakashi asked and Aisoku gave him a look that told more then needed to. "Let me guess, your Okaasan and Shikamaru said that..."
When Aisoku nodded, Kakashi pulled a hand through his unruly silver hair annoyed and began to wonder where this boy had got his unnecessary big ears from.
"Alright, let us just say that we where friends with benefits..." Kakashi finally told the boy who looked questioning up to him. "You will understand when you are a bit older... And yes, that baby she is carring is mine..."
"Then why aren't she living with you?"
"As I told you, it is a bit complicated... Your Ojisan really loves her, but he can't have her..."
"Why can't you have her?" Aisoku asked and looked up to Kakashi while he shoved him closer agains Kakashi side.
"Well, she belong to someone else now and she have never really loved your Ojisan, as much as he loved her..." Kakashi told Aisoku who looked like he didn't really understand what Kakashi had told him. "Have you ever heard of the word 'arranged marriage'?"
"Is it when you are being forced to be married with someone?"
"Not necessary, but in this case, yes... She has been send away to marry someone, because she is with child..." Kakashi mumbled guilty and it looked like Aisoku could hear the sadness in his Ojisan's voice.
"Ojisan, it is not your fault that she was taken away from you..." he told Kakashi and snuggled sleepy up against Kakashi's side. "If you wanted, I could take her back to you... And make her see why she should be with you... That wouldn't make you sad anymore..."
Kakashi looked down to the boy astonished and then he smiled down to the now sleeping boy beside him. This boy, Aisoku, had surely a heart of gold and that was what made him so innocent. Kakashi had unknowingly opened up to this boy beside him and he had tried to make Kakashi feel better, by telling him that he would take Sakura back to him.
But Aisoku could not take Sakura back to him, how could he? He was just a child and Kakashi knew that even if Aisoku could, Sakura was too stubborn to even listen when she had made up her minde. Like she always had been and Kakashi himself didn't know if he could take her back.
Everything had turn out like it always had done to him. Those he cared for suddenly disappeared out of his life, one by one (not even Sakura had been spared from that fate).
And after Rin's death he had been too afraid of falling in Love and didn't bonde with anyone more then necessary and it had made the 'curse' to stop and then Sakura had grew up from being a defenceless, naive little girl to be a headstrong, beautiful woman. And it had been at that point Kakashi had began to build an interest for her and wanted to protect her from everything that could hurt her.
The 'curse' (as Sandaime had putted it) had began again after he had accepted his feeling for her and everything had began to go down hill with their friendship after that. And when Kakashi finally began to believe that she had (somehow) forgiven him and he had accepted the fact that he was about to be the father to their child, she had been 'forcefully' ripped out of his own arms and tossed aside like something dirty. Dirty enough to be treated like dirt.
And Kakashi was sure that everything was due to his 'curse' and he couldn't do anything to stop the 'curse' to affect Sakura as well, like it had done now.
Kakashi looked down to the sleeping boy beside him and yet again he imagine that Aisoku could be his unborn son, who was snuggling up against him. He sighed and glanced over to the chest of drawer to be faced with three framed worn photos. One was of his first (not really first) and only Genin team, Team Seven. The second was of him and his team back when Minato had been his Sensei and the third was a photo he had took from his childhood home. The very picture that had been taken when he had been two and his mother had smiled down to him and his own father had patted his head, beaming proudly down to his only son.
An unnoticed tear fell down along Kakashi's cheek and he glanced down to Aisoku, who still was sleeping soundlessly beside him. Kakashi stroke the boys messy black-brown hair and heard how he let out a muffled "Okaasan" and moved closer up against Kakashi's side.
"Arigatou... Aisoku..."
Author note:
I just had this need to write something from Kakashi's 'past' (I mean how much do we really know about him?). And in the end I find myself write some about Kakashi's relationship with Rin (which was kind of hard) and how Kakashi's Chidori become Raikiri (well we only know that Raikiri become Raikiri after Kakashi had 'cut' lightning). And I do really love when Kakashi is with Aisoku (Kakashi is somehow more human). And Kakashi who says that he hate kids, when he is even behaving like some kind of father figure to Aisoku... *lol*
When I writes the text 'like this' it means that the person in question is thinking. When I writes like this the person emphasis just that word and when I writes like this that means flashbacks.

Iryou-nin = Medicnin
