Into The Wood's (Kakashi X Reader) Book one

Chapter 2. Mysteries

*********Y/n's Pov*********
I rolled over on the couch in the living room unable to sleep. The house was big. Too big it'd take forever to clean this whole place. I'd decided to sleep on the couch not wanting to go to a foreign bedroom I'd never seen before. I guess this house belonged to my great grandmother. I've never met the woman she'd died before I was even born. Apparently I was the only living relative left so it got passed down to me. All I knew was that the Hokage said it came from my dads side of the family. I looked down at my watch it was 3:30 a.m. I got up and rubbed my eye. I couldn't stand being in the strange house any longer and grabbed my bag. I didn't really know where I was going so I just wandered around the streets which were particularly quiet. It kind of set you on edge a bit considering the events of last night.

All I longed for was some true peace and quiet. I found myself passing near the training grounds me and the black ops officer were going to meet today. It was pretty far away from town and there was a huge forest behind it. I walked over the field curious and passed it going deeper into the woods. After a few minutes I found myself by the most serene looking pond. There were trees completely surrounding it and all you could hear was the light sounds of animals nearby, an owl was on a branch just a few feet away from you. I set my bag down and walked to the middle of the pond sitting in the middle. I crossed my legs and set my elbows on top of them, touching my middle and ring finger to my thumb in a meditation stance. Although it looked like I was just peacefully sitting there I was actually honing in on my chakra. My chakra natures were wind, water, and lightning. But I knew fire was in there. Most of the Uchiha clan wields fire and dammit you had to learn now you couldn't let it die with the rest of the clan, you needed to learn how to use it too. You focused on your chakra and sat there waiting to feel just a small spark of it. You knew you could use fire. It was rare to be able to control four and even more rare to be able to control five. Most ninja could only use two or three and one in some cases. But you could use Rasengan that the fourth Hokage created himself. A lot of people said they couldn't believe it and wondered if I was kin to Minato Namikaze. All you could do was shrug. You had no clue. Alright y/n lets get to it

*********TIME SKIP TO BEFORE YOU LEFT YOUR HOUSE. NOW IN KAKASHI'S POV*********

I groaned and rolled over again hoping this side of the bed would feel cooler but it didn't. I sighed and sat up. I looked over at my clock which read 3:30 a.m. I ran my hand through my spiky hair and got up and threw my shirt on pulling the collared mask up to my face. I picked my head band up from the night stand and pulled it over my left eye. I stretched and headed down stairs to the kitchen. I grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and chugged it not realizing how parched I really was. Maybe a walk would tire me out again. I grabbed my keys and put on my sandals. I locked the door and headed out. For some reason I couldn't get over how worried the Hokage was about y/n it seemed like she's had a pretty hard life and apparently the Hokage was one of the people who made it that way. Plus her whole clan was just....slaughtered by one of their very own. I wonder how she was doing. I found myself going more towards the edge of town close to the training grounds I would meet y/n at in a few hours. I didn't know why but something was pulling me to go into the woods. I walked past the training grounds heading deeper and I was starting to actually feel a little spoked by how quiet the forest was this time of night. It had me on edge and I was preparing for anything, just when I found myself wanting to turn back I saw a clearing up ahead.

I slowly approached feeling someone was close by as I reached the very edge I knelt down and saw y/n sitting in the middle of a pond meditation style. The wind was gently swirling around with leaves intertwined in it slowly dancing around her just above the water's edge. And if you were seeing it correctly there were also water droplets doing the same thing. Hmmm. So she's a water and air user. Just as I confirmed this I felt something change around her almost like it had an electrifying effect. Then all of the sudden little bits of lightning were also circling too. Holy shit she can use lighting too!? There's no way she can use all three of those nature's he'd seen multiple users but they were very powerful ninja and she was just a fourteen year old girl. What's next, fire and just as I thought tiny flames were starting to form on her hands. You thought your eye was going to bulge out of its socket when he heard her shout the fire was getting slightly bigger and she was struggling to control it. She pushed even harder and the flames rose just a bit more she held his for a good 10 minutes before screaming and everything blew away from her. She fell into the pond. He wanted to go in after her but if he did she'd know he'd been watching and he was now conflicted. Just as he was about to jump in she rises to the surface coughing a bit. She. Swims to the water's edge shakily crawling onto land. Breathing very heavily. He watched as she laid on her back, her chest going up and down in a rapid motion. I felt like I should do something but he didn't know what to do. After a good thirty minutes she stood and started walking slowly away. I couldn't help but follow her to make sure she was alright. He followed her all the way to her house only stopping when she shut her door behind her. Now the girl was a real mystery, she could use three chakra types well and was training herself on the fourth... fire. He wasn't too good with fire. But it was taking a very major toll on her while she practiced. It couldn't be good for her health to push herself to that limit. He hummed to himself unsure of what to do, and the kid was a little more surprising than he thought. I walked into my house and laid back on my bed not bothering to undress wondering if I'd even be able to go back to sleep knowing what he knows now. He sighed and threw the pillow over his head wishing for more sleep.
