Kakashi's lover.

New purpose

As soon as Aigis caught a glimpse of Hana and Ginsei, she sensed several people following her. Hana must've sensed them as well, for she stopped and formed a number of seals. "Crystal release, crystal wall!" A giant wall of crystals erupted from the ground, blocking Aigis' view. Aigis grinned and swung over the crystal wall, where she spotted Hana and Ginsei darting behind a tree for cover. When Aigis got to the tree however, there was no one there. Suddenly, she was pulled to the side and saw Hana and Ginsei. Hana. Hana's eyes darted towards Aigis' right and Aigis looked as well. One of the guards who had been pursuing them, landed on the ground and began searching. "I don't see them. Where could they have gone in such a short amount of time?" Asked one guard. "I don't know. I checked the area for any signs of chakra, but all I can detect is ours." Said another. So somehow, they can't sense us or see us... actually, come to think of it, I couldn't see or sense Hana and Ginsei until Hana pulled me over to the tree... Aigis thought. The guard was coming closer now. Suddenly, he bumped into something that Aigis couldn't see. He was right in front of them. "Oww... What the...?" The guard extended his hand into what appeared to be thin air, until it hit the same spot where he'd bumped into the air. Aigis looked at Hana and saw that fear was coursing through her. "Oh no..." She mumbled. "What did you do?" Aigis whispered to Hana. "I made a wall that made it look like there was nobody here. We can see out, they can't see in. Like one way glass." Hana whispered back. The guard began knocking on the wall and the other guards slowly began to gather. Shit, we're dead! Aigis thought, preparing to form seals. The first guard pulled out a kunai, then hesitated before striking it against the wall.

Suiren was just finishing braiding her hair and was putting it into a bun on top of her head, when there was a knock on her door. "Just a minute!" She called, and finished putting the special hairpin in place. As she opened the door, she found Kakashi standing in front of her. "Hey Kakashi. What's up?" She asked, leaning against the door. Kakashi's face was stern and he looked away. "The Hokage wants to see us." He said simply, then walked away in the direction of the front door. Suiren was confused. She followed him and continued to put on her shoes. Could it be because of my outburst yesterday? She thought. As she walked towards the Hokage's office she began to fall behind, and Kakashi stopped to wait for her before grabbing her hand. They walked hand in hand towards the office and Kakashi knocked on the door before opening it. The Hokage sat at his desk, paperwork piled high and deep all throughout the room. "Ah, Suiren, Kakashi. Come in and have a seat." He said, his eyes darting back to his work. They sat down and waited patiently for the Hokage to speak. "Suiren. I have... something to tell you." He said, looking at Suiren. She flinched. It's definitely about my outburst... Suiren thought, closing her eyes. "It's about your father. I know you said he was a good man, but I just couldn't see that in him. Something about his eyes sent shivers down my spine." The Hokage said. Suiren opened her eyes. "About my father? I know he killed a lot of people, but he did change. He didn't kill anyone on the way back and he didn't escape. He's in prison serving his time so that we can be a family again. I'm glad you didn't decide to kill the last of my family." Suiren said, sitting up a little bit. "Ultimately, I had thought of doing that. A murderer shouldn't be allowed to live. I had thought of carrying it out once you left... but... another matter arose and I'm no longer able to do so." Suiren stared at the Hokage, her eyes wide in disbelief. A tear rolled down her cheek. "No... you can't kill him... not my father... he's the last of my family! He's the only one I have left! I'll be alone if you kill him!" Suiren cried, tears falling into her lap. "Another thing, it appears your father has escaped. There are guards out looking for him and his accomplices." The Hokage said. Suiren tried not to show it, but inside, she was smiling and happy. Glad that her father had been able to get away.

Crack!
The wall chipped against the impact of the kunai and Aigis frowned. Damn, we've gotta get outta here... she thought, glancing at Hana. She nodded and prepared to form seals as well, as did Ginsei.
Thunk! Crack!
More of the guards began to help out in trying to take the wall down. They didn't have much time. Then, the sound of glass shattering filled the air and the guards stood back and watched as the wall fell to reveal a small tanuki, which scampered away. "A decoy?" Asked a guard. As they began to follow them, all the guards ran into another invisible wall. "Nice Hana. That should buy us some time." Aigis said. They were out of harms way, for now.

As Kakashi and Suiren walked towards the hospital, Suiren grabbed Kakashi's hand. She was silent all the way to the hospital. When they got to Kokuyōseki's room, Suiren let go and opened the sliding door. "Koku-chan! How are you feeling?" Suiren asked as soon as she saw Kokuyōseki. Kokuyōseki smiled. "Hey Su-chan. I'm doing ok." She lifted her arm carefully. "Still annoyed that I was so careless." She said, putting her arm down again. Suiren's face hardened slightly as she looked at Kokuyōseki's arm. "You did great out there." She said, smiling. "Trust me." Gently, Suiren put her hand on Kokuyōseki's arm, and both girls smiled at each other. Kakashi only watched, smiling as well, as the girls talked excitedly and gossiped about guys and exchanged advice.
