Kakashi's Pov
......................

"We had been able to come sooner to you guys than we thought since the Keimusho clan sent out some back up." I explained to Shino as I held my student.

"What happened?" I asked Shino as Neji carried Yoshiaki.

The back up that was sent were handling the three missing nin, one who Yuki made sure to deal with.

"Yuki saved Yoshiaki. Then seeing how I wouldn't be able to handle that man alone she striked. She was right of course, that man is past my skill, I would have been defeated easily." Shino explained shortly.

My eye's widened as Shino explained the jutsu she used, so she know's the fourth Hokage's telportation jutsu along with the Rasengan. Although she at least took down Osamu, he had done some medical jutsu and broke her neck.

While the back up was helpful, they didn't have any medical ninja's with them so we were rushing to the village. I had to say I was proud of her, she did everything to protect her comrades. She may easily pass up my skill.

I couldn't help looking down at the girl in my arms. Every time I looked at her I thought of my sensei, Mai. Moments where Yuki went out of her way to help a comrade, exposing herself to danger, reminded me even more so of Mai. There's no doubt that Mai and Teno would be proud of their daughter.

.......................

As soon as we stepped foot in the village, Yuki was taken from me and Yoshiaki from Neji by medics standing by.

As soon as they had her, one help her while another started healing her neck. While Neji went with them to keep a eye on Yuki, Shino and I went with the back up to help in case any of the rouge's gave some trouble.

.......................

We came to the cell's that would hold the three men. Just as we were putting them in these Osamu woke up. He grinned seeing Yuki missing.

"S-so the little O-okami i-is finally dead." He stumbled.

One of the ninja's from the Keimusho clan eye's widened as I glared at Osamu.

"No, you're wrong Yuki is not dead. She's not dead, she has too much to live for, and a person to live for." I said as I glared at the man in the cell.

"You think she can live through that? I broke her neck, she couldn't breath. That little-" He was cut off by another ninja.

"Shut up you dumb ass! Yuki Okami is in the care of the best medic's here! Scum like you don't deserve to even speak the Okami name!" The man glared hatefully at Osamu.

Osamu looked confused before he began to laugh.

"Who shouldn't I? I was the one that killed them all, along with these two. Of course I stayed on the side lines, not to be caught. Unknowingly these two idiots left the little brat alive." Osamu sneered.

The twenty-year-old clenched his fist. "So that was you, you ordered the killing of-"

A friend on his put a hand on his shoulder. "Don't Aoi."

Aoi shook his friend's hand off his shoulder, then picked up from where he left off. "The killing of my clan."

Everyone's eye's widened. "You're from the Okami clan?" Osamu growled.

"Yeah! The only reason I wasn't killed was because I was on a mission! After you killed my clan, and family I moved to this place." After that he stormed out smalling the door.

Yuki's Pov
.......................

I was floating in darkness. Nothing around me, just me, alone.

'I am dead?' I thought.

Looking around I only saw never ending darkness I sighed. ' I guess so, to think I would die now. Out of all the times, now I die. The last thing I wanted was to die by the hands of my family and clan's murder. I guess I have to accept fa- wait. I can't leave Naruto alone, I've been fighting all this time to stay alive for him! Now that Sasuke's gone I need to help him bring Sasuke back. No way am I giving up now! Not after Granny healed my illness, not when Naruto needs me the most. Naruto wouldn't give up, he never gives up no matter how stupid, if I have learned anything from him it was to never give up.'

I cleared my head and decided I would fight death, if that was possible. I focused chakra to my neck, maybe I can somehow heal it from my unconscious state.

I opened my eyes gasping for air. Black dots swam across my eye sight.

"Yuki?" I heard someone ask, sitting up I saw Kakashi, Neji and some guy that looked familiar.

I gasped for air, as if I had been underwater drowning. Smiling weekly I said, "H-hey Kakashi sensei."

"Hehe, I just keep seeming to somehow show up in the hospital, huh?" I chuckled.

Neji shook his head. " You're too reckless, and you're the medic ninja, you should be smarter."

"Yeah well I was worried! I can't have a genin show me up now can I? Besides Yoshiaki was hurt he couldn't fight, and Shino would have been alone." I crossed my arms childishly.

I heard two people chuckle. Changing my attention to Kakashi and the man beside him.

The man smiled back. :So much like your parent's." He muttered.

My eyes widened, "You knew them?"

Kakashi sighed, "Let's leave them alone Neji." Neji nodded and left with Kakashi.

The man sat in a chair next to me. "Well Yuki, I don't know how to say this, but I guess I'm your cousin."

"W-What?" I studdered he only smiled.

"Yup, my name is Aoi Okami. If I remember I used to babysit you every once and a while." He chuckled.

"So you mean, I'm not the last?" I whispered, Aoi nodded.

I smiled as happy tears spilled down my face. "T-that makes me feel so much better! I lived for five years thinking I was all a-alone." I hugged him as I cried into his chest.

He hugged me back. "I know, me too, although I was'nt as young as you were when it happened. I'm sorry for leaving, I just couldn't stand the memory's." I nodded understanding.

"It's okay, I completly understand. Believe me I do." I whispered.

"You probably have worse memories than me though. How about I catch up with my little cousin?" He asked, I only nodded agreeing.

.....................

"So this Naruto kid, he's like your best friend?" Aoi asked, I nodded.

"Yup, and like I said if it wasn't for him, well I would have given up a long time ago. He set me straight, gave me a goal and was there for me, he dosen't even know it." I smiled.

Aoi started to smile, but frowned instead. "I'm sorry for not being there for you, I just assumed-" I cut him off.

"It's fine believe me. I would have done the same thing if I wasn't a little kid. I'm just happy you happened to be on a mission when it happened." I dismissed the thought.

There was a knock on the door. I turned to look at it, "Come in."

Kakashi opened the door, a smile on his face. "How are you feeling Yuki?"

"I'm as good as new! Ready to head out whenever! Besides Naruto is waiting for me back at the leaf." I smiled.

"Oh yeah!" I turned to my cousin. "Since you're from our clan you should have the Tensai, right?"

Aoi's face fell slightly, "Um, well no I didn't get the bloodling limit, why."

"Oh, I have it. I was just thought if you did you could teach me since Kakashi, Tsunade and Jirayia can't."

"Wait, Tsunade and Jirayia part of the legendary Sanin?" He asked.

"Huh, yeah. Weren't you listening? Granny Tsunade is teaching me a little medical ninjutsu. And Jirayia, AKA Pervy Sage, is gonna train Naruto and I for three years." I smiled as I went to put on my shoes, but Kakashi stopped me.

"We'll stay for tonight to make sure you're okay. You did break your neck." Kakashi ordered, I sighed but agreed.
