Chapter 8

A.N. Sorry I've been forgetting this, but: Kishimoto owns all except my characters-Kiminari, and Kimiko, and later characters. Also I'm probably not going to follow any of the story line except a few small things. I may take the characters outside their natural personalities, but that's because it's my story, and it'll add to it.

Kakashi's P.O.V.

As I waited outside the blood-works room, I wondered if this little girl could be related to Naruto. We knew her mother was an Uzumaki, and so far she seemed to have taken those physical traits. One thing I'd noticed, however, was that she was very quiet, yet you could see she liked to show her skills. She had most definitely inherited the arrogant gene from her mother. Now all we had to do was try to figure out who her father was. According to her mother's letter, she had lied to the Uzokage about who her husband was. She had said that Kimiko would've been in danger had she, or-more importantly-anyone else known who he was. This brought up several more questions: was her father a defect, a runaway, a missing nin, or worse?

As I sat thinking about the possibilities, the doctor in charge of the blood works, came out of the room, with the results. "Well, shes definitely got a Kekei Genkei. Two, infact. We can't exactly tell what they are though, because they're too closely tied." He said.

"Well, what kind are they?" I asked.

"We think they stem from her eyes, but again, the readings are so strange, that we can't be for sure. One could be from the eyes, while the other isn't, but they are still very closely bonded." With that, I nodded, thanking the man, and left. There weren't many eye related Kekei Genkei. That meant that she either had some new form due to strange genetic mixing, or she had the rinnegan, which was occasionally seen in the uzumaki clan, although the chance of her learning to use it was slim.

Kimiko's P.O.V.

By the time Kakashi finally returned to the estate, I realized why I knew I wouldn't like him: he was late. WAY late. He'd left before lunch, and now he was returning after dinner. He'd said he'd only be gone about two hours, yet here it was six hours later. He'd better have a good excuse, because Gaara wasn't one for people being late.

Surprisingly, Gaara just ignored the fact that he was so late. I suppose he's known him for a while, and has gotten used to it. Once Kakashi had eaten, he and Gaara went to the living room while I was sent outside to train some more. When they finally called me back in I was dripping with sweat and really just wanted a bath.

Gaara spoke first. "Kimiko, tomorrow you will pack you things; you'll be returning with Kakashi to the leaf village." WHAT! But I'd just started my training, and I was beginning to enjoy staying here. I thought, though I said nothing.

"I will be your sensei now, Kimiko." Said Kakashi. Well, at least I don't have to quit. I am going to miss this place, though. I nodded. He continued, "When you get there, you will not study at the academy, but I will teach you everything you need to know. We will see how you do, and , if you meet genin requirements, then in two months' time, you will return here to take the chunin exam." Wow! They must think I'll do pretty well if I'm going to get to become a real ninja. I nodded.

That night I packed my things, after taking a shower, and lay down on the bed trying to think about what Konoha would be like. I was really excited, but at the same time, I was really sad that I had to leave.

The Next Morning…

"We're all really going to miss you." Said Temari, as she hugged me.

"I'm going to miss you guys too, but I'll get to see you again in two months, right? So I'll train hard so I can make you all really proud at the chunin exams!" I said; and I meant it.

With that, Kakashi started to lead the way to Konoha.
