Words could not describe her, Kakashi realised as he sat in front of his students, ready to tell them the tale of Kobayashi Akahana, "She was an extraordinary shinobi," he eventually said, "and beyond was an even more wonderful person."

"What was she like, sensei?" Sakura asked, leaning forward.

"She was kind, passionate and she had a love for flowers," he told her, "She trained a lot and always smiled."

Looking into the pinkette's eyes was sometimes painful for him, her emerald eyes would remind him of her, "You remind me a bit of her."

"How did she look like?" Naruto asked, "Was she pretty?"

Kakashi nodded, "Red hair, green eyes and freckles. She was very pretty."

To his students' displease, he did not reveal too much about her before he left them, yet Sakura claimed to know someone who could know more, "I met him a while ago, he was training."

"What was his name?" Sasuke asked.

"Kobayashi Aomaru," Sakura replied, "Perhaps they are family, so I think we could ask him some things."

"Sakura-chan, do you even know where he lives?" Naruto questioned.

She shook her head, "But I know where to find him."

They found the said boy on his usual training ground, kicking and punching a tree. He had light brown hair in a low ponytail, wearing a green flack jacket.

He looked in their direction when he noticed they were coming his way, revealing a pair of blue eyes, "Sakura-chan?"

"Sasuke-kun, Naruto, this is Aomaru-kun," she said, pointing at the boy.

He gave them a wide smile, "You must be Sakura-chan's teammates," he stated, "Nice to meet you."

Team 7 explained why they've come there in the first place, and asked whether he knew something. He nodded, "You guessed correctly, I am related to her," he told them, "On top of that, she's my role model, I aspire to become just as awesome as she was."

"What can you tell us about her?" Sasuke asked him.

"Not much, I'm afraid," he replied, "She passed away when I was only four years old, but my tou-san knew her very well. He said they were quite close."

"Who's your father?" Sakura asked.

"Kobayashi Isamu."

I know short, and I've left you with a cliffhanger. But....

There's going to be a second book, in which Aomaru will be the main character. I'm not quite certain yet who he should end up (don't worry, I'm not going to focus on romance, the main focus will be his road to being a ninja) The title is going to be 'Forget-Me-Not'

Thank you to everyone who has read this story until the very end, and congratulations if you still have a heart.
