"Is she okay?"

"Yeah she's fine. Just needs to heal is all."

"Has she woken up?"

"She did earlier but she went back to sleep, Naruto... I need you to tell me what happened after.."

Naruto sighed heavily, remembering all that had happened.

"Well, Pein pinned me to the ground with his metal rods, and then I heard this ear piercing scream, next thing I knew Y/N was crouching in front of me, her eyes were glowing, and she had these...like ice horn things on her forehead, and she had ice claws, she looked pretty pissed off."

"Hmm. And then?"

"And then her and Pein said somethings- I don't remember what though, I was in shock. But then when she moved to attack Pein, she was lightening fast, like she disappeared and then reappeared in am instant, she cut him a few times, but in the end he-he.."

"It's okay Naruto, take your time."

"He threw her in the air, and when she landed, her stabbed her with three rods, keeping her on her knees, and then three more, the last one in her chest. Then I don't know, I just lost it."

"Sakura, what happened after that? You said she was still alive right?"

"Yes Sensei. We were going to remove the rods buy Guy Sesnei not to, then Y/N sensei said that they were keeping her alive and that if we did remove them we would damage her organs more."

There was shuffling, and I felt a warm hand on my cheek.

"But she told us to remove them anyway, said that death was better than being pinned to the ground. She also said that she wanted noth of you buried in The Land Of Snow."

"Anyways as I healed her, everyone else pulled on the rods...the s-screams that left her body..- I-I cant get them out of my head...and the b-blood.."

Sakura started to cry, I wanted nothing more than to hug her, but I was nosey that I had to ease drop.

"After the second attempt, that's when she...her face looked peaceful as she looked at the sky.. Even after that we pulled all the rods out."

"And her beat again when you mentioned Naruto?"

"W-what? It did?"

"Yeah. I couldn't let her die a second time."

I was able to pop my eye open and look at the three important people in my life.

"C-can I have some water?" I rasped, Naruto and Sakura gasped and fell to their knees at my side, Kakashi handed me his water pouch, which I took two huge gulps and handed it back.

"Y/N!"
"Y/N Sesnei!"

They eached wanted to reach out and hug me, but forced themselves to stop. I started to sit up, Naruto and Kakashi both rushed to help me. I groaned in pain but when I fully sat up I pulled both Naruto and Sakura into a tight hug, my hands resting on the back of their heads. They reach out a hand on my back and relaxed into my touch. I pulled them away and smiled a huge smile as a tear slipped from my eye.

"Are you okay? You aren't hurting are you sensei?" Sakura asked in a small panic.

"N-no. I'm fine, I'm just so damn happy, that you guys are okay."

"Well it was all thanks to Naruto after all."

Naruto have me a goofy smile and rubbed the back of head. I shook my head and chuckled at the knuckle head ninja.

"Alright well, I think I'm good enough to get up and help rebuild." I said moving to stand up and Kakashi pulled me back down to sit.

"Why didn't you two go and help out, there's something me and Y/N need to talk about." Kakashi gave them his closed eye smile and they got up and left.

"What the hell was that for?!" I yelled smacking Kakashi in the arm.

"First off all, OW! Second off all you're still naked." He ripped my sheet off me and pointed to my bare lower body.

"Oh.. right~." Kakashi laughed and helped me stand up, he tossed me see clothes,

"I got them from Ino so I hope it all fits." He said watching me carefully.

"You calling me fat?" I joked,

"N-no! It's just you're taller and more curvier than her."

"I'm just joking Kakashi, calm down."  He flipped me off and wait for me to get dressed.

Kakashi held the tents curtain open for me a walked out, shielding my eyes from the bright sun. I felt Kakashi's hand on my lower back as my eyes adjusted and I took in the progress of the village and gasped loudly.

"There's so much already done.." I breathed, my eyes looking at everything it could. If I didn't know any better I'd say that nothing ever happened to our village in the first place.

"You were out for almost a week." Kakashi said as he lead me through the dirt street and to ichiraku ramen. My stomach growled loudly as we stepped in and the smell of Ramen hit me. Kakashi ordered us the biggest bowls of ramen they had.

As soon the bowl hit the table I devoted it. I was so hungry, if I wanted to, I could eat 10 bowls in one sitting. But I know you're supposed to pace yourself with food after being out for so long.

"Oh Kakashi, I have gifts for team 7. I got them when I was in the Hidden Rain Village with Master-" I stopped talking as grief washed over me, I had almost forgotten.

"Anyway.. I wanted to take them to the Land Of Snow, kinda like on a vacation, Yamato included."

I really wanted them to see my home village, and giving them a gift in the process to Bond our team is even better.

"That's sweet Y/N. I'll round everyone up and meet you by the gates in 30." Kakashi gave me a kiss through his mask on my head and we both walked out of the ramen shop, he went left and I went right.

I strolled to the front gates and leaned up against a railed that leads to stairs down to the dirt road that leads through the village.

"Youthful Flower?! Is that you?!" I turned to see Guy running full force at me. I gave him a smile as he stopped right in front me and pulled me into a bear hug.

"I'm so sorry to put you through all that pain! Please forgive me Y/N!" Guy swung me back and forth in his bone crushing huh.

"G-Guy... I c-cant breathe." I gasped, he quickly let me go and I sucked in a huge breath, and leaned over taking in precious oxygen.

"Guy, please don't kill my girlfriend." Kakashi sighed walking up to us, a full body cloak clasped around his neck, a backpack on his back.

"Whoops." Guy chuckled and scratched the back of his neck.

"Kakashi Sensei!" Sakura called as her, Sai and Naruto ran out way. Yamato close behind them.

"Hey guys, all packed and ready?" Kakashi asked as they reached us.

"Yup, even have warm clothes packed."

I put my hands on my hips, "Good, you guys aren't used to this kind of cold weather so bringing thick warm clothes is a good idea."

"What about you Y/N Sesnei? Aren't you going to get cold too?" Sai looked at me perplexed.

"Nope. My clan is damn near cold resistant, our bodies adapt to the cold weather so we don't freeze."

I clapped my hands together and started to walk backwards. "Well let's go, we got two days of traveling ahead of us."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As the two days travel came to a close, team 7 was already complaining about the cold Weather, my skin hasn't changed color yet so it's not too cold, they were just being big babies.

"How much further?" Naruto groaned behind me, Kakashi and Yamato.

"Not too much further." I looked down at my arm and it started to turn a light blue color.

"Almost there guys." Kakashi took my hand and gave it a squeeze, I looked up at him and he smiled, mesmerised by my blue skin. I smiled back and turned around to the three teens behind us.

"Sensei! You're turning blue! Do we need to start a fire?!" Naruto stared to freak out and I laughed.

"No Naruto, this is how my clan deals with cold weather. Our bodies adapt to it and drops our body temperature."

"That's so cool!" Sakura said walking closer to me to touch my arm.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I saw my Villages gates up head and I let out a happy sigh and dashed ahead, running through the snow and to my old home was bliss. I heard running behind me and saw everyone else running too, the teens were laughing and trying to catch snow in their mouths, Yamato had his eyes closed and Kakashi was smiling at me, his smirk clear through his mask.

I skidded to a stop once I was through the gates, something didn't feel right. Something was out of place but I couldn't figure it what or why.

"Something wrong Y/N?" Yamato asked as he stopped beside me.

"I'm not sure, it feels different somehow. Like someone has been here recently...maybe.." I shook my head to shake the feeling away.

I turned to everyone and held my arms out and smiled widely, "This is my home Village! This is the Yakani Clan compound!"

"It's so beautiful here sensei!"

"Yeah! I can see why you want to come here often."

"I want to paint everything." I think Sai was the most amazed at everything.

"Well if you want your gifts, then follow me to my old house." I began to walk through the snow filled streets and lead them to my home.

"Wow! You used to live here?!" Naruto was shocked, my house wasn't the biggest in the village but it was a nice size.

Everyone filed into the living room as I lit the fireplace, I had already piles wood in it the last time I was here before Pein attacked the Leaf.

Everyone settled in and had their bedrolls laid out in different areas and dressed in warmer clothes, we huddled around the fire as I took off my back pouch and set it down in front of me.

"So will I was with Master Jiraiya, in the Hidden Rain, I got us all something. It's a prized gift, I went broke buying them by the way so pretend to like it even if you don't." I pulled each Kunai out and handed them to their respective wielder.

"Wow. Thank you Y/N." Kakashi seemed genuinely amazed.

"These are amazing."

"It's beautiful."

"Thank you so much."

Everyone actually seemed to really like their gift. So I pulled mine and an extra one out.

"Naruto. This one was for our Master, buy I never got to give it to him. So I'm giving it to you." Naruto looked at it, seeing Jiraiya's initials and took it as tears built up in his eyes.

"These Kunai are out pact, to always have a bond together. I know you three just meet me not too long ago, but I feel close to each of you already. I also wanted to show my gratitude for welcoming me with open arms."

Three teens looked at each other and then tackled me to the ground in a hug, squeezing the life out of m Naruto and Sakura running their cheeks against mine.

"Thank you Sesnei!" All three exclaimed making me laugh.

"Okay! Still hitting, can't breathe." I said laughing, they each let me go and sat back in their place before. I pulled myself up and huffed loudly.

"If having kids is anything like that count me out." I groaned holding onto my side. Kakashi chuckled giving me a twinkling gaze.

Little Kakashi babies huh?

I blushed and cleared my throat. Well it's been a long day, why don't we all sleep, and we can have a look around tomorrow?" I said standing up dusting my pants off and yawned.

Everyone followed suit and went to their own bedroll, me and Kakashi settled into ours,

"Goodnight guys."

"Goodnight!"

I cuddled into Kakashi's chest, inhaling his scent and closed my eyes.

I was at home, whether  that was in Kakashi's arms in the Land of Snow or in the Hidden Leaf.
