Chapter 2.4

"How does she do this every time" the silver haired Jonin grumbles as he patted the empty, cold spot next to him. Downstairs he could hear the stumbling of the cooking utensils. A small smile formed on his lips. He hadn't felt like this since she left for that mission which should have been her demise. He finally felt a whole again, a broken whole where she was the glue holding him together.

"Good morning, did you have plans with your team today?" you questioned as you noticed the silent shinobi creeping up behind you. He let out a defeated sigh and settled on a hug.

"No, they have the day off, tomorrow we will be going on a mission" he murmured sleepily.

"Then that's good" you replied, enjoying the warmth running from his arms around your waist. His eye peered over your shoulder, he was fully dressed in a clean attire while you were still in the shirt you fell asleep in. "It will be done in a minute" you responded to his silent question. He gave a small nod and turned heel to the table, letting you go.

"Who were in my old team? I haven't been able to remember anyone...."

"A man named Might Guy and a man named Ebisu... Ebisu.... I forgot his surname" Kakashi shrugged. You hummed while putting the pancakes on two plates and brought them to the table. "Might Guy..." you muttered, the name tugging at your messed up mind.

"And Ebisu" Kakashi finished, observing your reaction carefully.

"Maybe I know after seeing them" you shrugged, deeming the pancakes more important. He chuckled and with a short thank you for the food, dug into it. Pausing again you looked up, Kakashi frowning at your action. "Who was my team leader?" you asked, mouth still processing the food. "Charming.." he muttered, "Akamichi Chõza".

"That's our sensei?"

"(y/n)! how dare you be so disrespectful to our sensei!"

You frowned at the boy dressed in black with small sunglasses. "Still can't believe you are on my team. I envy Rin" you sighed exasperated.

"You w-"

"Don't you worry (y/n)! I am still here!" a boy with a coconut haircut exclaimed with a blinking smile. Your face scrunched up in distaste at his fashion sense. Who in their right mind wears a green jumpsuit?!

"That worries me even more". The thick eye brow guy dropped down comically at your exclamation.

Meanwhile Chõza watched on with light amusement and calculation. "I am Akamichi Chõza" he announced, a good hearted smile on his face, "I will be your sensei". You rolled your eyes, someone who doesn't even try to defend himself has no business ordering you around.

"Something wrong (y/n)?" he questioned in that fatherly like tone. Your eye twitched in annoyance. Loosening your arms from their crossed position you stood up glaring defiantly at the big man. "Yes. I don't see why I am placed with these idiots and with a sensei who doesn't suit my fighting style or character!"

Behind those gentle eyes there was something cool and calculating. Your instincts told you to take a step back, but as the foolish child you was you didn't.

"(y/n)-"

"Shut it Eyebrow!" you snapped turning to the less threatening boy. He frowned and stepped up, but stopped in his tracks as a fist landed on your head.

With a whine you held your sore head, glancing grudge fully up at the sensei. "That's enough, go sit down. We will continue the introductions and I will not tolerate any interruptions" he said, a dangerous edge to his gentle voice. Swallowing the lump in your throat you reluctantly moved back to your seat and sat down. "Now, you will state your name and the dream you want to achieve".

You blinked in surprise. Kakashi looked expectantly at you. "I really was a joy to have around" you huffed sarcastically. Kakashi chuckled, "you don't even know half of it". You rolled your eyes at that comment but didn't retort back.

"Kakashiii! Holing her for yourself is the most dishonourable thing you have ever done!" Your head snapped to the window before looking at Kakashi.

"Who is that noisy guy?" you questioned, seeing someone outside through the wall.

"That" the silver haired male laughed nervously, "is Might Guy". Sighing, you stood up and walked calmly through the front door. Your eyes widened and your arms protected your head from a flying drop kick. "Kakashi you- (y/n)!" Guy exclaimed as he landed on his feet, giving a sparkling smile. "Excuse me for that, I thought you were Kakashi" he said, not really looking all that sorry.

You frowned and swatted your arms to get the tingling feeling from the kick away. Something told you that he had held back.

"It isn't his fault he holed me up" you stated dryly, "I just didn't remember you, Ebisu and Chõza since a few minutes ago". The raven haired male gaped at your exclamation, tears at the rim of his eyes.

"H-how could you? We were partners! Teammates!"

"Give her a break Guy" Kakashi appeared behind you, putting a comforting hand on your shoulder. The guilt disappearing as soon as it had appeared. "She lost all her memories from before we presumed her dead" he explained calmly.

"What tragedy!" Guy exclaimed grasping the air while tears stream down his face. "(y/n) forgive me for the sudden outburst. I am Might Guy, your partner, teammate and best friend!" he introduced himself.

Was he always this loud? From the little memory you received it was clear that he had way to much energy. But still, this is a little over the top. Feeling a bit uncomfortable with his familiarity you shuffled a bit closer, much to Kakashi's delight. "Sorry I just have on memory and that is on the team introduction... not really the best impression" you sighed apologetic.

"No worries, I am sure going out with me will jog up your memory!"

You could feel Kakashi's muscles tense for a small second. Frowning you glanced up at the silver haired man. He looked bored, as usual. Is he hiding something?

"Go out?" you questioned, turning to Guy.

"Yes! Like in the old days. We could go train!" he said, excitement clear in his eyes. A smile tugged at your lips. That sentence could have different interpretations, depending on his ulterior motives. He didn't seem smart enough to have those though. "I'm free today. All days actually, until my memory is back" you mused.

"Splendid!" Guy exclaimed, "I will race you to the training grounds. Ebisu should be there as well!" He laughed before bending his knees, as if waiting for a start shot. Understanding his intention you smirked and imitated the pose. "Rrreaady... START!" Guy yelled and began running. You laughed while running after him, leaving a stunned Kakashi behind.

That Guys was crazy fast. Sure you kept up but your longs began to burn and your muscles protest. Your body found relieve when you finally halted in the middle of an open grass field. Guy jogged on the spot while you bend over and gasping for air. Your throat burned while your brain pleaded for fresh oxygen. "It seems your speed hasn't changed, but your stamina could use some work" Guy puffed. He stopped jogging and began stretching his limbs. When your breath was even again you stood up straight and looked around. "Where is Ebisu?" you asked, ignoring his obvious observation.

"(y/n).... I am so glad you are alive!" a unknown voice exclaimed behind you. You turned sharply, just in time to dodge two arms, trying to trap you in a hug. Jumping away from the man dressed in black, a black bandana around his head, with the leaf village symbol on it, and sunglasses.

"You must be Ebisu" you deduced.

His face became crestfallen, "have you forgotten me?"

"Don't worry Ebisu! She forgot me as well!" Guy laughed.

"That doesn't help...." Ebisu straightened up and pushed his glasses further up his nose. "I excuse myself for my behaviour. I can just barely believe my eyes. You actually came back from the dead" He said, his hand slightly trembling.

"I killed her" his hands trembled. His face was pale and his eyes empty. His voice sounded hollow, as if his soul had left him. One empty midnight black eye turned to you. "(y/n)....." his silver hair hooded his eyes as he hung his head. The anger you had felt moments ago was completely gone at the sight of his broken state.

"(y/n)? is everything okay?" you gasped and swatted the hand moving in front of your face away. "Y-yeah" you stammered. Ebisu frowned and crossed his arms, "you never were a good liar".

"I am fine!" you snapped.

His expression turned soft as he reached out for you, "(y/n)-". His hand was swatted away and you looked up to see the masked man from your memory.

"I am sure you like to catch up Ebisu, but would you refrain from touching her casually? She does not know who are friends and foes" Kakashi stated coldly. One arm was protectively around your waist while the other leaned over your shoulder, ready to swat Ebisu's hand away again. His presence oddly calming. Something did tug at your mind and made your stomach drop. Who did Kakashi kill?

"Do you have any right saying that while holding her so inappropriately!" Ebisu retorted.

"I already established a relationship with her, without use of her memories" Kakashi stated, his eyes seeming bored but his tense arm revealed his protectiveness of you.

Deciding to intervene this stupid discussion you shrugged his arm off and patted the tall Jonin's head. "Thanks, but I can still fend for myself" you grinned. "Do you even remember how to fight?" Kakashi mused. You rolled your eyes, his smug grin revealing that he knew he was spot on. "My body knows more than my mind". You turned to Ebisu with a gentle smile and held a hand out, "the hugs will be postponed for when I remember our friendship. For now it's nice to meet you again" you said. Ebisu looked pained but smiled nevertheless, taking your hand.

"Ah what youth! Our old team back together!" Guy exclaimed appearing between you and Ebisu. A smile crept on your lips. "Yeah. So... training?" you questioned. Guy nodded excited and out of bodily instinct you jumped back and took up an offensive fight stand. Guy and Ebisu eyed you before grins appeared on their faces and they mirrored.

"AND START!" Guy shouted. You engaged in an intense Taijutsu fight with Guy and Ebisu. Ebisu was pretty predictable, he tended to stick to certain patterns and use them with slight variations. Guy on the other hand was really skilled. Landing a blow was next to impossible with defending yourself from him and Ebisu.

Kakashi watched lazily from the side-line, hands in his pocket. His eyes mostly focused on your movements.

The fight lasted for a long, exhausting hour. After which you took distance with a few backflips. Guy, the straightforward idiot that he was, ran after you, not done with the fight just yet. Mid the second flip your eye saw him approaching. While your mind turned to panic everything slowed down for your feeling, your body moving on its own. You finished your flip and while doing hand signs you turned to Guy, placing your hands on the ground. "Water style: Geyser!" you yelled. Guy yelped as the geyser appeared exactly on the spot he put his foot, making him shoot up into the air.

Panting you dropped on your but and watch Guy land smoothly with a few flips, probably to show off. Guy smiled broadly, "great job in stopping my attack!"

"It was clear I couldn't fight any longer, don't push me" you grunted annoyed, your longs burning.

Kakashi pushed himself of the tree and walked over to you.

"Your enemy wouldn't have any mercy even if you were tired!" Guy exclaimed.

"Yes, that's why I don't look for enemies now!" you snapped glaring at the, way too happy, man. Ebisu pushed his glasses up, must be a habit, and joined in. "Your movements lack precision, you are hesitant and your stamina is way too low" he deduced. A growl rumbled through your throat.

"Shut it. Come talk to me when you have died!" you snarled angrily gripping the grass. Both men paused and looked suddenly like a pair of kicked puppies, realizing their mistake.

"They are just glad you haven't changed" Kakashi said holding his hand out to you. Scowling you didn't take it and scrambled up yourself. "Well I wouldn't know" you grunted annoyed, patting the dirt off your borrowed clothes.

"How about we go for some tea?" Ebisu questioned making us all look up, your scowl melting away. "Your treat?" he gave a firm nod, making you smile. "Then what are we waiting for!" you exclaimed running off to town.

"And suddenly she has energy" Kakashi muttered.

"Ah youth" Guy sighed to himself in delight    

---------------------------------------------

And maybe it's a draeam, maybe nothing else is real

But it wouldn't mean a thing, if I told you how I feel

So I'm tired of all the pain, all the misery inside

And I wish that I can feel, feeling nothing but the light


*pokes Kakashi's side*

Kakashi: *looks dryly at you* you should quit that habit

NEVER!!!!!!!
