Shinobi love- Kakashi x OC

Flashback part 5:

" Who are you? "

Minato said as if it were an extremely grave matter.

" What do you mean sensei? I'm Kasumi. "

I raised a brow, confused by his question.

" No.. No. Who are you really? What is your surname? Why are you even a genin ?"

He questioned, getting impatient.

I was getting frustrated as well.

" I told you! I'm Kasumi and I have no inclination of what my surname is or... "

I sighed, hesitant to go on.

" Or ? " he raised an inquisitive brow.

" Or know where I came from... "

I continued.

His gaze softened once he really how lost I was too. He squat down, so he were my height.

" It's alright. Could you explain your situation to me so I can help you, Kasumi? "

He gently placed a hand on my shoulder. I contemplated telling him but I remember something that stopped me from doing so.

----- Flashback-----

" Kasumi! Come here! " my granny called out, with a degree of anxiety in her voice. I trotted happily towards the kitchen where my grandma was.

" O baachan! "

I squealed in excitement, jumping into her embrace.

" O baachan! When is otousan and okaasan coming back? "

I questioned, snuggling in my grandma's warmth.

She, however, pulled me from her arms and settled me down in front of her.

The air was thick with tension.

" Listen, kasumi. Otousaan and okaasan won't be back today. I... I need to go somewhere else soon too. I want you to be the brave girl you've always been and go into the attic okay? Stay there for 2 whole days and then if we are not back yet, take the money in the cabinet and run off to the community centre to ask for help. Okay? "

My granny gently tucked the loose strands of hair behind my ears, looking deep into my eyes to make sure every word has been heard clear.

I unwillingly nodded my head as she hurriedly led me toward the hidden attic.

"Here. Go down and don't make a sound okay! "

She patted my head and placed a long kiss on my forehead.

" You're a brave girl, kasumi. Oh and remember, don't trust anyone! Even if the person seems very nice okay? "

She caressed my cheeks and took one last look at me as the tenderness in her eyes melted away, replaced by an eerie coldness as the last light in the dark attic went out, little did I know that it would be the last time I saw her.
