Kakashi,

I have a job now. It doesn't pay for much but is enough to buy meals.
I sharpen knives and scissors for a lot of the shops in town.

I asked if I could help at the academy and they told me no.
Your squad got split up into different groups. Sakura is with Guy, Naruto is with Asuma, and Sasuke is with Kurenai.
They stop by sometimes.
Mostly Sakura.

Lady hokage is very busy recently. Other than that the village is calm.

I miss you greatly.

With love,
Akari

I tuck the paper in a drawer that I have been using for a while now. Anytime I want to tell him something I write it down and make it into a letter.

It's my way of coping I suppose.

I decide to go into town.

I run into team guy.

"Hello Akari." Guy says with his signature voice and smile.

"Hey. Hi guys." I say to Guy and his students.

"Would you like to join us Akari sensei?" Lee asks.

"Oh I don't..." I say

"Come on! Please?" Sakura says.

"You'll have to ask your sensei." I say.

They all climb and claw at Guy sensei.

"Please. We'll do more training later. Can we get some lunch?" The students ask.

"Akari you are formally invited to a delicious meal with us." Guy says smiling. He then gives me a thumbs up.

Tenten and Sakura grab my arms and drag me along.

We go to a little restaurant that I've only ate at once before.

As we eat I look around and feel happy knowing that Sakura is getting some attention.

Something in the edge of my vision draws my attention. I turn and see a shinobi I'm not familiar with.

Once we lock eyes he waves me over.

I excuse myself from the table and walk over to him.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your meal." He says.

"No. No worries." I say reassuringly.

"You have been asked to accompany some others on a mission." He says opening a folded piece of paper.

"Me?" I question.

"Yes. Your skills will prove valuable in the mission." He says.

"Can you be at the gate in ten minutes?" He asks.

I must have made a face because he keeps talking.

"Or if that's not okay it's fine. We just should go but it-"
