Kakashi: alright we're here. You guys go research on the dangers that we might meet that we didn't while we travel to konoha.

" hai. " they said together.

Ryuushi: its not needed. I done that already.Asked the guy I... Killed earlier.

Kakashi: oh.

Ryuushi: there are about 17 bandit groups around here. The strongest of them called themselves wolf gang. The rocky mountains that we need to pass is a great place for ambush hence... The constant fighting for the dominance of that area.

Kakashi: I see. Great job.

Ryuushi: its nothing. I'll... Not meet the escorting. I'll stay behind the whole time. That's fine right?

Kakashi: ryuushi... Um. Sure.

Naruto: ryuushi... Seemed kind of scary huh.

Sai: well it's just killing people.

Naruto: but the way she does it...

Sai: you just can't accept it can you?

Naruto: how do I put it... There's just something... Off about her.

Kakashi slided the door open " I guess I do have to talk to her. "

Naruto: kakashi sensei...

Kakashi: say sai. Do you think danzou could have done that to her?

Sai: I'm not sure. Danzou-sama wouldn't usually keep people he couldn't control.

Kakashi: well... You have that point though.

Naruto: neh neh what are you guys talking about?!!!

Kakashi: its ok naruto.

Naruto: eh?!!! Tell me!!! Kakashi sensei!!

Kakashi: its ok naruto.

Naruto: tell me Kakashi sensei!!!

Kakashi pov :

I entered her room to see her sleeping on the futon. She had her mama and papa out beside her. Did she sleep like that all along when she's alone?

I shake her awake " ryuu ryuu. " She rubs her eyes " Kakashi? "

Kakashi: keep your mama and papa. I want to sleep beside you.

She sits up and nods, smiling. She keeps her mama and papa's bodies back into the scrolls. She lies back down and pats beside her " Kakashi. " I lie beside her and pushes her head into my chest " ryuu ryuu... What made you like that? "

Ryuushi: eh?

Kakashi: you lost control didn't you?

Ryuushi: are you going to throw me away?

Kakashi: no. I'm just concerned. Concerned *cups cheek * something horrible happened to you.

"then will you detest me? Not treat me the same anymore? If... That's was what was coming for me... " she turned away " I probably will be better with itachi... I betrayed him... No... I let him down... Stupid me. Stupid emotions. " kakashi hugged her and squeezed her " no!! It's not like that. Aishteru. I just... Want to protect you. I don't want you to be broken again. "

" really? " she didn't turn around but asked with a frail voice... Unsure. He turned her around and puts her hand on his face " the privilege of getting to see my face. Only you. Isn't that more than enough insurance? "

Ryuushi: you always use that trick its unfair.

Kakashi: alright then. You're sleeping with the copy ninja. Does that count?

Ryuushi: not fair!!! I'm supposed to be the childish one!! I'm supposed to use that line!!

Kakashi: alright. Don't be sad. Do tell me one day when you're comfortable.

He takes her hand and puts it to his chest " remember I'm always here. " She nods " um. "
