Chapter 15: Mizuki's nightmare...

In the evening, Mizuki lay in bed, worrying about Kakashi and Naruto. She felt like she should have told Kakashi more about that day. But she couldn't. He would think she was crazy if she told him.

She wondered if they were alright.

Just then, she heard someone open the front door. That was strange; she thought she locked it. She looked at the door and saw someone come in. She couldn't see him very well, but it was definitely a man. He had broad shoulders and messy hair.

She quickly sat straight up, holding her blanket before her chest, since she wasn't wearing pyjamas.

"Wh-who…?" she asked carefully. When the man closed the door and came closer, she recognized…

"Kakashi?"

She sighed in relief. "You scared me," she said. "What are you doing here?"

He didn't answer. He just came closer.

"K-Kakashi?" Mizuki said carefully. She grabbed her blanket more tightly and covered herself better. She was starting to feel really uncomfortable. Her back was leaning on her pillow.

Just when Kakashi stood right beside the bed, Muzuki could see the look in his one open eye. She knew that look pretty well.

Kakashi bent over and put his hands next to each side of her, so that she couldn't get away. Their faces were very close to each other. The only things between their faces was a thin layer of air and a mask.

Mizuki lay back down to create more distance between them. She wished she could go lower.

"What are you doing?" she asked nervously. Her face was getting red.

Kakashi still didn't say anything. He placed his knees next to each side of her, so that he was completely above her.

Mizuki became scared. She was breathing nervously.

Kakashi raised his hand and caressed her cheek.

"No…" Mizuki whispered with a high voice.

"What's wrong?" Kakashi asked. His voice sounded very low.

Mizuki had tears in her eyes. "Please don't," she said.

"Why not?" Kakashi asked. He had no emotion in his eye, nor in his voice. His hand reached a little lower and removed the blanket. Mizuki wanted to scream, but no sound came out. She tried to cover herself with her arms. The tears were flowing from her eyes.

"You're an idiot," Kakashi said, still emotionless. "You've foreseen this, still you're not resisting."

Mizuki was just hoping he wouldn't go any further than this.

"Why aren't you resisting?" Kakashi asked.

"I don't want to hurt you," Mizuki answered.

"Hurt me?" Kakashi asked. "Like you can. As a woman, you won't be able to even push me away."

He took his mask and slowly pulled it down.

"What are you…?" Mizuki asked, but she couldn't finish the question. Was he really going to show his face?

She couldn't see it well. Kakashi kissed her immediately after removing his mask.

Mizuki was completely shocked. She tried to push him away, but like he said, she couldn't. Of course not. He was a shinobi.

But when he gently grabbed one of her breasts, she turned her head to the left and yelled: "Stop!"

Kakashi withdrew his head and looked at her. She was too afraid to look at him.

"Please…" she whispered with that high voice again. "Please… enough…"

"Why?" Kakashi whispered. "Just relax. I know you actually want this."

"No, I don't," Mizuki said. "Of course I don't!"

"Yes you do," Kakashi said calmly. "You know that."

"What do you mean?" Mizuki asked.

Kakashi kissed her one more time. Then he whispered in her ear: "Just open your eyes and see for yourself."

She opened her eyes and woke up. It was morning already.

"A… a dream?" she whispered to herself. She was panting. She felt hot and she was sweating all over.

"No… No, he'd never do that… He'd never do that to me…"

She sighed deeply, stood up and took a shower.

Kakashi and his teammates entered the orphanage. The first caretaker to welcome them looked very familiar to Kakashi. It was the very same guy who took him to that place when Kakashi was looking for Mizuki. The same guy who told him she was dead. Even after 15 years, Kakashi could recognize him immediately. And it looked like this caretaker recognized Kakashi as well.

"Hey, haven't I seen you before?" the caretaker asked.

"Yes," Kakashi said calmly. "I was here 15 years ago. Remember?"

"Oh, right," the caretaker said. "You were looking for one of the kids that were killed back then… umm…"

"Mizuki," Kakashi said.

"Oh yeah," the old caretaker said, "that blonde girl. Poor girl."

"Eh?!" Naruto said. "You mean that nee-chan used to live here?"

"Yes," Kakashi said. "It's a long story. But anyway…" – he looked at the caretaker again – "could you show us the place where those kids were murdered again?"

"Umm… s-sure," the caretaker said. He was staring at Naruto.

On their way, the caretaker asked Naruto: "You just called her 'nee-chan' a moment ago, right? Was she your sister?"

"Hell no," Naruto said. "But she's Kakashi-sensei's girlfriend, that's why I know her."

"Wait, what?" the caretaker asked. He stood still. "She's alive?!"

"Yes," Kakashi said without looking back. "And Naruto, she's not my girlfriend."

"Right," Naruto mumbled sarcastically. "Not yet."

"Not ever," Kakashi said, keeping his cool.

Kiba and Hinata both looked confused. They had no idea who Naruto and Kakashi were talking about.

"I'm just kidding, Kakashi-sensei," Naruto said. "She's way too young for you, anyway."

"That's enough, Naruto," Kakashi said. "This is the place, right?"

"Y-yes…" the caretaker said, still shocked over the fact that Mizuki was still alive.

Kakashi looked around the place. After 15 years, it was no wonder that it looked like nothing ever happened here. Only the atmosphere was different. Cold. Depressing.

Kakashi remembered dropping himself on his knees and angrily punch into the ground with his fist, on this very spot. He remembered being angry with himself for letting her go, even though she begged him to let her stay in Konoha.

He still felt guilty. But he forced himself to leave the past behind him.

"After the murder…" he asked, "did anything else happen around here?"

"What do you mean?" the caretaker asked.

"Did this killer strike more than once?"

"Well… there was a murder case like this one… But that was about a year later."

"Where?"

"I… I can't remember."

Kakashi sighed. "Ok," he said, "do you remember anything else about this?"

The caretaker thought for a while. "Hmm… no," he said. "That's all I know."

"Alright," Kakashi said. "Thank you."

The caretaker bowed and walked back to the orphanage.

"This is a waste of time," Naruto mumbled. "I could've spent this time training."

"Then be glad we're on this mission," Kakashi said strictly.

"I know you don't agree with me training on Rasen Shuuriken," Naruto said, "but I can't stop now, after making it this far."

"And I know I can't talk you out of it," Kakashi sighed, "so let's drop the subject, ok?"

"Well, this mission is still a waste of time," Naruto mumbled stubbornly.

"Naruto," Kakashi said strictly, "we might be running into a dangerous murderer with an unidentified weapon, or some kind of unknown technique. Make sure you realize that."

"If that's the case, then where is he?!" Naruto yelled impatiently. "I mean, no one has ever seen the guy before!"

"That's exactly why we are on this mission!" Kakashi said. "To find the guy."

"Then what do we do now?" Naruto asked.

Kakashi looked around for a few minutes. Then he summoned his ninja dogs.

"Kiba," he said. "See if you can find anything unusual smells. Blood, bones, anything. Old traces, about 15 years ago. Can you do that?"

"I think so," Kiba said. He, Akamaru and Kakashi's ninja dogs started to sniff through the whole place.

After almost an hour, Akamaru barked. Kiba looked up.

"Akamaru found something," Kiba said. He was sniffing. "Blood. Very old. This could be it," he said.

"It's amazing how one little drop of blood can lead you to a whole new path," Pakkun said with a smirk. "Shall we follow the scent of that blood, Kakashi?"

"Yes," Kakashi said. "Let's go."

Now let's see how Mizuki's doing in Konoha, all in the next chapter!
