Chapter 2

Kakashi lifted his head. He had heard a soft whisper. "Did you hear that?" he asked as Naruto started to get into one of hyper moods.

"Hear what! Hear what! Hear what! DATTEBAYO!" Naruto yelled.

Kakashi smacked Naruto and jumped away. "I've got to go. Don't expect a lesson tomorrow!" he called as he ran off.

"Kakashi-sensei!" Sakura called after him.

"What ever." Sasuke said as he started to walk away.

"Something has to be wrong. He never leaves so suddenly." Sakura said thoughtfully. "I mean he leaves suddenly but he at least finishes teaching us first." She continued.

"What do you think I'm going to do?" Sasuke said as he kept walking. "I want to find out what's going on." He jumped into the trees and ran after Kakashi. He trailed him as well as he could. Naruto jumped after him.

"Sasuke-kun! Wait up!" Sakura whined.

Sasuke ran faster. He could tell that Kakashi was moving very quickly and Sasuke wanted to catch up so he could trail him easier. He stopped abruptly when he saw that Kakashi had stopped in a clearing just ahead of him.

"Don't follow me, Sasuke." Kakashi said quietly.

"Tell me why you stopped the lesson and I will." Sasuke retorted.

"I… can't. We aren't allowed to talk about it. Not to anyone. Not unless it's an emergency."

"Then I guess we'll keep following you." Naruto said as he caught up and perched on the branch next to Sasuke. Kakashi sighed and started to make hand signs. A cloud of smoke appeared around him. When the smoke cleared. He was gone.

"I'm sorry, Sasuke. I've never told anyone. And I'm not about to start telling now."

He leaped through the trees and thought more about his past. The address that she had given him. He had tried to finish that book so fast. He had ended up giving it to her. That was one of the two books that he kept with him no matter what. In his bag where he kept his books he kept the book he was reading, The True Destiny, and How to Torture Your Future Students. He grabbed the ring from around his neck and looked at it carefully as he did every time that he thought of her. "I know I heard you. Come back. I miss you." He whispered as he ran towards the lake where the two of them used to lay together.

"Dang! Why couldn't he tell us?" Sasuke said angrily. Naruto grinned. "What are you so happy about, Brainless?" Sasuke asked.

"I have an idea. Doesn't Shino bug everyone?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah. Nice going, Naruto!" Sakura said.

All three of them headed for Konoha and for the bug ninja, Shino.

"Kakashi." She said to herself as she looked at a map she had sniped off of one of the Akatsuki. Those guys were so dumb. "They need a girl in there. Then maybe they would get something done." She said to herself as she laughed quietly. "I guess it would be that way." She was looking at the map thoughtfully and was trying to decide which way to go. According to the map, the hideout was just north of the Sound and Waterfall villages. "I should be able to make it to the leaf village in two days I'm guessing. I'm coming, Kakashi. Don't worry." She heard as soft whisper.

"Come back. I miss you." It was Kakashi's voice.

"The best things in life are worth waiting for." She said softly.

She started to make hand signs. She teleported to an area much closer to the leaf village and collapsed from such an immense amount of chakra used. "I guess I never was very good at gauging how much chakra I would have left after a jutsu." She said as she fell asleep in the grass.

Kakashi lay in the grass on the shore of the lake. He read his book for a while and sat looking over the lake after reading. He then lay back in the grass again.

"I know. That's why I'm waiting." He whispered as he fell asleep.

"He's just been reading this whole time." Naruto said, annoyed.

"I know that! I think that something might happen though." Sasuke said quietly. The three of them had been watching Kakashi for hours and now he had fallen asleep.

"This is so boring!" Naruto yelled. Kakashi bolted up and threw three kunai in Naruto's direction. Naruto was pinned to a tree by the kunai.

"HOW DID YOU FIND ME!?!?" Kakashi yelled. All three of the genin flinched at how loud and furious he was. He was never like this.

"I had Shino bug you. What else?" Sasuke said, regaining his calm composure.

"Go back to the village. You had no right to follow me." Kakashi said, starting to calm down. He lifted his hand to his head.

"Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura was still frightened when she said this.

"Yes, Sakura?" Kakashi was starting to get annoyed.

"Wh-what happened?" she asked quietly.

"I already told you, we're…"

"Not allowed to talk about it, we know. Now give us an explanation." Sasuke interrupted. Kakashi sighed. He knew they wouldn't leave him alone until he told them.

"Sasuke, do you remember the girl that stayed with your family before the massacre?" he asked.

"Yeah, but I don't think my adopted sister has anything to do with…" Sasuke started.

"I was almost sure that she was killed. Until today." Naruto and Sakura had confused looks on their faces. Sasuke merely blinked.

"What do you mean, 'Until today.' Does that mean you think she's alive? That's impossible. I watched Itachi kill her for protecting me!"

"That's all I'm telling you three. You don't need to know any more." Kakashi whispered.

Sasuke felt a chakra force appear nearby but was more interested in the connection between Kakashi and his adopted sister. Sasuke grabbed Kakashi's arm and was surprised when he turned so easily. "Tell us why you left. What happened that made you think she was alive?"
