HOSHIZORA
The next few days she had spent training with Kakashi, she had managed to get her strength and agility up significantly making Kakashi seem motivated to teach her more and more as the days went on.

KAKASHI
He walked around the village, contemplating on wether or not to show Hoshizora clone or substitution justu. Both were very important to a ninja's overall ability to deflect attacks and to stay alive during battle. He knew he would have to teach her both, but he didn't know what to teach her first.

Knowing to him he had wandered his way to sensei's home, maybe asking his teacher would be the best idea? After all Minato had no idea that he had been taking care of Hoshizora. None of the adults in the village knew except for the black ops and Hokage, knocking on the door Kakashi waited there patiently for someone to answer the door, he would have to go soon, knowing it was getting closer to the time he went to meet up with Hoshizora.
"Kakashi? Come on in". Kushina said kindly, letting the young ninja into her home, sighing he then looked to the red head
"Have you seen Minato-sensei?" He asked, a bored tone playing with his voice as he stood near the door.
"Oh, he's out right now, did you need help with something?" Kushina asked, Kakashi nodded
"Yeah actually" he muttered, "which is better the learn first, substitution or clone justu?" He asked, Kushina looked at him a little confused
"Shouldn't you know this Kakashi?"
"I do, I was just thinking about it" he muttered quietly, Kushina smiled
"It wouldn't happen to be because of girl would it?" Kakashi tense up instantly at Kushina's remark. Giggling at the boy before her Kushina smiled brightly
"Oh so it is for a girl, aww look at you" Kakashi gave her an irritated look however he was smiling slightly behind his mask, unable to hide it when he was around Kushina. She was one of the happiest people he knew and well worth listening too, bringing her finger up to her chin Kushina smiled
"Well realistically, the cone jutsu is the first you learn when your in the academy, so maybe that one first, 'cause substitution is a branch of that type of jutsu" Kakashi nodded, of course he knew this, but he needed to be sure he got it right for Hoshizora,
"Thanks Kushina-San" Kakashi muttered, Kushina smiled
"Your welcome, oh! And tell that special friend of yours I said hi!" Kushina teased. Kakashi sighed and nodded
"Yeah alright, I will" he says smirking
"WAIT WHAT IT IS A GIRL?!" Kushina shouted just as he began making his way to the monument, letting out a light chuckle he looked back to the direction of Kushina's house and smiled widely
"Geez that woman" he muttered.. He then smiled and made a detour to go grab some BBQ, maybe they'd try something different tonight. To eat at least, he couldn't wait to see the smile on Hoshizora's face when he came bringing a new type of food to eat and a new jutsu to learn.

HOSHIZORA
Laid down on the grass, she gaze up at the colour full sky, it beginning to become to 'Sunset hour' as she called, smiling widely. She waited for her friend to come and visit like he always did. She had become so accustomed to having him here that when he was on missions she would practise the justu everyday until he got back.  Hearing someone climb over the rocks she looked over to see none other then kakashi smiling at her, though she couldn't see the smile, she knew he was.
"Hey Hoshizora" he greeted, she smiled
"H..hi Kakashi-k-Kun" she said to him, hoping up from the ground and walking over to him, handing her the bag he brought she giggled and opened it up, taking a sniff of the new type of food she smiled brightly up at him
"A..arigato!" Kakashi smiled at her and nodded
"You wanna go watch the sunset while we eat?" He suggested, Hoshizora nodded and grinned. Stepping in the wall of the barrier he lifted his arm, allowing her to step out, the chain around her ankle forming as soon as she stepped out, Kakashi then stepped out and smiled,
"Come on, I brought the blanket this time"  she could only smile at him as she followed him up the rock, watching him set the blanket down to shield themselves from the hard surface of the rock she sat beside him comfortably,
"Wh..what is..th....the food..this time?" She asked, eagerly waiting for him to let her eat, sighing
"BBQ, I thought something different would be nice" he said, she smiled brightly at him and dug in, leaning against his shoulder as she ate..
"Th-thank you....for what..your doing.." She whispered softly, taking a bite of the meat he brought, Kakashi smiled and pulled his mask down, taking a bite himself, enjoying the relaxing moment he had away from missions and the rest of his worries.
"It's no problem Hoshizora" he whispered, she then sat up properly and frowned, Kakashi looked at her with a slight worried look "what's the matter Hoshizora?"
".....wh...what if you..get hurt..? On...one of...y...your mi...missions?" She asked worriedly, Kakashi smiled at her as he brought her close to him again.
"I wouldn't, and if I did I'd be fine Hoshizora" she looked down, snuggling closer to his chest.
"P-promise you w-won't get hurt.. That you won't leave me.." Kakashi looked down at her, usually it was him making those promises.. But yet, this girl..na he had been in so much pain, now being her only friend, the one she felt so safe around.. He couldn't help but smile. Hugging her gently,
"Promise, I promise I won't leave you alone again, apart from when Im on missions" that last but made her giggle at him.
"Kakashi-kun!" She exclaimed giggling at him. He smiled at her
"Seriously though, I swear, for as long as I live I will never leave you alone, I'll always be here for you no matter what"
