"You are dismissed." Lady hokage says.

"Kakashi? A quick word?"

My other associates leave. Guy even pats my shoulder in sympathy.

"Kakashi you are one of the best shinobi in this village. Why have you been distracted lately? You know how important it is to stay vigilant." Lady hokage says.

"My apologies my Lady." I say looking ahead.

"I don't want an apology. I want an answer." She says slamming her hand on the table.

I stand there and chew on my lip.

"Shizune." Lady Tsunade says politely.

Shizune excuses herself from the room leaving just us alone.

She clasps her hands and sighs.

"Kakashi you have a duty to protect this village. Don't make me take away your privileges." She says.

"Akari could have been a part of the village too." I say.

She laughs.

"So that's what you are so upset about? She would've died. She probably has." she says angrily.

"You're wrong." I say.

She quirks at eyebrow at me.

"She's alive. And has undergone experiments by him!" I say feeling the rage building.

"I highly doubt that he had any interest in her other th—"

"Don't!" I say raising my voice.

"Your personal feelings are clouding your sense of judgement." She says.

"We just lost another person who could have helped our village. Why can't you see that?" I say.

"She was dangerous. She had no recollection of her past and conveniently was there to help you. Did you ever stop and think about how strange that is Kakashi? If she was from an enemy nation she would have killed you or taken you away." She says.

"You have earned yourself probation. No missions for two weeks and no leaving the village." She says.

I leave without saying a word.

As I descend the staircase I see Shizune at the end of the steps.

"Kakashi!" She whispers.

"Yes." I say.

"I'm not supposed to tell you but— just read this." She says handing me a bundle of paper.

"Thanks." I say as she races back up the stairs.
