Welcome to my home!

Kakashi Hatake was 12 when he became a Jonin. He was thirteen when he was an ANBU. That was when he was assigned to a team that secret corresponded with a spy within Kirigakure. When he was fourteen, the spy died and he was tasked with protecting the family. Naturally, with his skills, he managed to get them out and surprisingly developed a bond with the young Setsuka Yuki. Other things had happened to the family since then (especially Setsuka), but he had been forbidden by Sandaime Hokage to even think about it. Now, he was nearly 20 years old.
On his way there, he heard an explosion. His head shot up and he skidded to a stop. "Summoning technique!"
A cloud of white burst out. In it, was Pakkun, one of his ninken, and secretly, his favorite one. "Hey boss, what do you want?" Pakkun barked.
"What do you smell?" asked Kakashi.
"Blood," sniffed the dog, "and WOOF! I smell some death and ice. Oooh, also some onigiri!"
"Blood, ice, and death?" muttered Kakashi, "That's not good to know."
"What's not good to know? That there onigiri?" asked Pakkun.
"Shut up," said Kakashi, "The Blood Mist ANBU must have found them.
"But who would have ice… Setsuka's the only one but her chakra was sealed, wasn't it?" Kakashi asked himself, "Shoot… it must have unlocked.
"But why would it? The only reason would be if she experienced some kind of emotional trauma…"
"Dude, boss, I said I smelled death. Somebody probably died."
"Speed up!" said Kakashi, and he started running at full speed.
Seconds later, he and Pakkun caught sight of the horror. Enormous icicles had stabbed into the house from the creek. The creek had turned a slight red color. "Ewww.." muttered Pakkun, "Blood and ice are everywhere… the onigiri must be ruined."
Kakashi ignored his ninkens words and ran into the house. The door was kicked down. In the kitchen, the first room, he saw nothing but ninja tools stuck in some ice. "Shit.." he muttered, "they were here."
Kakashi barged into the room where Setsuka and Kira usually slept. He was shocked by the horror that awaited him. Impaled by the icicles, 4 Bloody Mist ANBU were there, dead. By the window, he saw Kira, a hole in her back, and blood all over the floor. It had frozen over. Kakashi rushed to her side and felt her pulse. None.
Then, he saw Setsuka. He immediately rushed to her. Although her pulse was irregular, she was alive. He sighed with relief and picked her up. As he walked towards the door, he noticed two parts of a sword. He immediately recognized it as Asahsi, Setsuka's father's sword.
A few feet away was the book that he had given her. It had been impaled by an icicle. Kakashi grimaced in pain as he saw his favorite Icha Icha book in such a condition. Then, he turned away and walked to the kitchen.
There, Pakkun was eating an onigiri. "Come on," said Kakashi, "We're leaving."
With that, he turned to the door and disappeared in a flash.
…
Setsuka was dreaming again. She was on the floor, rolling and screaming in pain. Her head hurt. She couldn't think. She couldn't cry. Her mother sat on the kitchen table, staring at her. She couldn't tell what emotions her mother felt. She still couldn't think.
A man in a mask, similar to 'Puppy's' walked up to her. "Don't worry, he said to her mother, she'll be all right."
"Thank you Yamanaka-san," said her mother, in relief.
"No problem," said Yamanaka-san, "I have a daughter too, about her age. I am glad to help Setsuka with her flashes. Now then…"
Setsuka was almost blacking out. The rest of Yamanaka-san's words were blurred, all she heard was "mind… jutsu."
Then, the pain stopped and she forgot everything.
…
Setsuka's eyes flashed open. The light from the light bulb above shined into her eyes. She averted them and found that a lady in a pink dress and hat was sitting next to her. "You're awake!" she said.
"I'll go…" the woman trailed off, "tell someone..." and rushed out the door, as if trying to get away from her.
Setsuka tried to sit up, but pain shot through her head and she laid back down. What had happened? The Mist had found them, and they had killed her mother. Setsuka began sobbing. But, what had happened after? Where had all the ice and power come from? From her? She thought back to the dream she had. Had it been a dream? It hurt too much to think so Setsuka just closed her eyes.
Five seconds later, someone rushed through the door and ran to her bedside, "How are you Setsuka? Are you okay?"
Setsuka frowned, the voice was familiar, but this face… It was a man with a navy blue mask. On his forehead, he wore a reflective headband that covered his left eye. Only one eye showed and his hair was silver, like the old people from villages. But, he looked young…ish.
"Who are you?" she asked.
The man's eye twitched, "You don't remember me?" he asked, "I'm Kakashi Hatake!"
Setsuka frowned again, "Puppy?"
Kakashi sighed, "Yes, I'm 'Puppy,' but I would prefer if you called me something else?"
"Oh," said Setsuka, "But, where am I?"
"Konoha Hospital of course," said Kakashi, "Welcome to my home, the Leaf!"
