Kasumi looked around, looking for something to do, Naruto and Kiba setting up camp as Hinata started a fire and shino searched for food, Kasumi looked around she then smiled seeing the sunlight emerge from the tree tops, quickly climbing up a tree and smiling widely as she reached the top, moving a branch out of the way and standing up, looking up at the seemingly endless baby blue sky, Kasumi smiled, looking down past the branches to see the rest of the group start to look for the bug, smiling a little she then gazed out.. The trees seemed endless too..
"Woah..." She breathed the view was amazing, she seemed to be on the highest tree around for miles. "I wish mom was here to see this" she whispered softly, sighing in consent, she then smiled feeling a light gust of wind, turning towards it and grinning
I'm always here with you kasu...
Kasumi flinched looking around
"Huh?! Who?!"
Oh sweetie.. Don't worry please
Kasumi looked around scared when a ghost or a beautiful black haired woman appeared before her, holding Kasumi by the shoulders..
"Who.... Who are you..?"
I don't expect you to recognise me.. You were only baby..how is your father...? I see he loves you..
Kasumi looked up at the woman..
"Of course he loves me! He's my dad! And he's the best dad in the world!" Kasumi said smiling
That's great sweetie.. I was worried he's not accept that your his daughter... But I never doubted that you wouldn't love him..
" who are you.... ? How do you know about my dad?"
Oh Kasumi... Do you remember that picture your father showed you? Of your mother..,
Kasumi stared at the woman wide eyed..
M-mommy?!
That right sweetie... Mommy's here.. Where is your father?
".. Um.. He should be around the team.. I think" Kasumi grinned "I can go find him for you!"
O-oh.. Oh sweetie.. I'm afraid... I im afield he may take it a bit. Differently from how you have sweetie.. I wouldn't want him.. Breaking down Infront of you.. We don't want to let him lose his dignity
"What do you mean break down? He's not --"
Oh! Oh sweetie I didn't mean it like that! I mean he might.. May cry is all I don't want him to cry In front of you sweetie
"But- I can find him!"
Kasumi, don't worry about it, please, I'd rather-
"... But dad should know about you... I don't anything! Why can't dad know!"
Because sweetie, your father.. I don't want to hurt him any more then I did...
"What do you mean you hurt dad?!" Kasumi asked loudly
"KASU!" Someone shouted me Kasumi looked down
"HI DAD!!" She shouted grinning,  "please.. I just want us to be all together.. Like a family..." Kasumi whispered, the woman shook her head furiously
Kasumi.. I-
"KASU! Come on! We gotta go! The teams already left!"
"Huh?!" Kasumi shouted quickly climbing down and jumping into kakashi's arms
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEIR GONE?!" She shouted,
"They went out searching for the bug they need, said you'd be okay back here" Kalashnikov muttered hugging her tightly "you had me worried when I couldn't find you"
"Sorry daddy" Kasumi whispered smiling at him,.. She then frowned
"Do you miss mom....?" She asked, kakashi looked at her with a soft look
"Sweetie, I loved your mother with all my heart"  Kasumi pulled away with a sad smile
"....."
"Hey? What's wrong sweetie?" Kakashi asked, looking at the girl quietly
"Did you and mom want me?" Kakashi stiffened. Staring at his baby girl.. Shocked.. He hadn't expected her to ask that question..
"I..." He began "o-of course we wanted you sweetie.." He muttered.. Kasumi looked at him with a saddened look
"Why are you so nervous dad?" Kakashi stiffened once more and hugged her tighter
".... No reason sweetie..."
".... Was mom cool?" Kakashi smiled softly at her, anbu mask off and attached to his waist, he then sat down, Kasumi in his lap, back against his chest
"Very.. She knew all types of jutsu, she was amazing at taijutsu, pretty good and genjutsu too... She loved fighting with katana's too.. And to joke around.. You know she loved asking questions just like little you" he said smiling widely.. Eyes closed. Head against the tree "your mother really was an amazing woman..." Kakashi whispered.. Kasumi looked up at him..
"Do you want mom home?" Kakashi let out a long sigh at her question, sitting up properly and turning the girl to him,
"Kasumi, of course I want you mom here with us, your mother would uh... Be able to help me.. With.. Raising you.." He then smiled lightly "it's a lot harder being a single parent kasu... Of course I want your mother home and here with us but.. Fate just. Works in a strange ways.." Kasumi frowned
"But dad! She-"
"It was never confirmed" Kasumi went wide eyed
"What?
"That your mother was dead, she was taken after you were born... She was presumed dead after a few months.. She was missing for months before people starting forcing..... But that doesn't matter.. Of course your mother matters but anything about me doesn't okay? You just worry about you" he muttered ruffling her hair "and you become the strongest ninja you can be"
"I'm gonna be better then you and mom!" Kasumi shouted grinning, kakashi smiled
"That'll take a lot of training sweetie, but for you do need any help I'm here" Kasumi grinned hugging him tightly
"yay!!! Your the best daddy!!" Kasumi exclaimed giggling, kakashi smiled at her softly..
"You too kasu... You too" he whispered rubbing the girls back lightly before hugging her back "love you so much little one.. So much...."
