KAKASHI'S P.O.V

'Okay, something's going on here. I haven't seen Rin since Sarutobi sent me out of his office.'

I thought to myself as I walked to Rin's apartment. I knocked and the door swung open.

"Rin?"

I asked as I walked inside. My eyes widened when I saw all her stuff was gone and an envelope was sitting on the kitchen counter with my name on it.

I walked over and picked it up. I opened it and a letter fell out onto the counter. I recognized Rin's writing and picked it up and started reading it.

'Kashi,

Knowing you you've probably already figured it out, but I'm still going to tell you. I've left Kashi, I've left Konoha and I won't tell you where because I know you'll try to come after me.

Thank you for everything you've done for me over the years. You were my mentor, my friend, and my father in so many ways. I know it's wrong of me to say goodbye this way, but you and I both know you wouldn't let me go any other way.

Thank you for everything Kashi, I'll see you around.

Love,

Rin Yuumei Taishou'

'She….she left.'

I thought as I held the letter in my hands.

'I can't believe she left without saying goodbye to me. Why'd she leave anyways?'

I wondered as I folded up the letter and put it in my pocket.

'If anyone knows it's be Sarutobi.'

I thought before leaving and heading for the Hokage building.

SARUTOBI'S P.O.V

"Nui, take these scrolls to Lady Tsunade as soon as you can."

I said and the ANBU nodded before taking the scrolls and jumping out the window.

"Sarutobi."

I turned towards the door to see Kakashi.

"What is it Kakashi?"

I asked looking at him as he walked up to my desk.

"Don't lie to me, I found the letter she left behind. Where is Rin?"

He asked and I sighed.

'So he finally found out.'

"Kakashi, keep in mind Rin is her own woman. She is capable of making her own decisions."

"Sarutobi where is she?"

He asked sternly and I sighed again.

"Suna."

I said and physically saw him tense.

"Kakashi?"

I asked slightly worried by his silence.

"Why?"

He asked and I stood up and walked around my desk.

"Kakashi, you don't-"

"Why did she leave?"

He asked and I could tell there'd be no way to avoid this.

"Because she's in love Kakashi."

"With who?"

He asked and I sighed again before answering him.

"Gaara no Sabaku."

I saw all emotion drain from his face and started to get worried.

"Kakashi?"

I asked, but suddenly he was gone.

"Shit!"

I yelled as I ran down the stairs and out onto the streets. I knew where Kakashi was going and I had to stop him.

I ran into Sakura and stopped.

"Lord Hokage, what's wrong?"

She asked. I looked at her and saw Naruto, Sasuke, Neji, and Kiba were with her.

"Kakashi."

I said and they all looked at me confused.

"What about him?"

Naruto asked and I looked at them all in turn before settling on Naruto.

"He's found out about Rin."
