"Yamato why have you come to see me so late in the night?" Lady Tsunade rubbed her tired eyes.
"Sorry, Lady Hokage but, I have not heard from Kitsune yet. She was supposed to send for me several days ago to share some Intel on the Akatski. I know she can take care of herself however, I have a bad feeling."
"Kitsune, huh? She does not seem the type to get captured or killed so easily. I am sure she is fine. But, I will allow you to take a team out tomorrow to search the surrounding areas for her. She is a treasure to the Hidden Leaf."
"Thank you. I'll take my leave then Lady Tsunade and get my team ready in the morning for a briefing."
Yamato slumped back to his apartment.
It had been late into the night when Kakashi found himself wandering around the Hidden Leaf Village. All was dark and most respectable people were already fast asleep. But not Kakashi, he rarely slept through the night. He looked up at the full moon as a small smile graced his lips under his mask. He couldn't help but remember those precious memories.
Kakashi jerked his head to the side as he heard a noise in the brush. Fixing his onyx gaze on the tree beside him, kunai at the ready, he started slowly walking away from the path toward the sound. A black fox with piercing red eyes suddenly popped out of a bush and looked at Kakashi intensely before taking off in the opposite direction. He sighed.
It was only an animal. Even now she still haunts me. If only I would have gotten there sooner, she'd still be alive.
Kakashi reached out and touched the rough bark of the tree trunk. Looking up he realized that this had been their spot. He sighed again and climbed to the highest branch; stretching his legs out in front of him, he looked up at the night sky and was soon fast asleep.
Kakashi woke up the next morning to the sound of voices and foot steps walking by. Slowly standing up, he remembered what had happened the previous night. He brushed off his pants and begun walking back to his apartment to take a long, hot shower.
As he was unlocking his door, he felt a presence behind him. "Lady Hokage requests your presence, Kakashi." The Anbu member was gone before Kakashi could even turn around. "I wonder what it is this time," he said to himself, locking the door back and heading towards the Hokage's office.
When he got to the door of Lady Hokage's office, he stopped before knocking, having heard a few familiar voice inside. Team Yamato. Eavesdropping was how Kakashi got most of his Intel before anyone else. He was very good at going unnoticed.
"Who are we supposed to rescue, Lady Tsunade?" Kakashi heard Naruto's voice from the other side of the door.
"Kitsune Uchiha." Did she just say Kitsune? She can't be alive.
"Did you say Uchiha, Granny Tsunade?" He could hear Naruto's loud voice ask. "I thought all the Uchiha were killed except for Sasuke."
"That's what most were lead to believe." Lady Tsunade said. "Only Jiraiya, the third Hokage, myself, and Yamato were aware that she was still alive. Few even knew she was an Uchiha at all. I only just found out myself when I received a message from Kesaarah here and confirmed it with Jiraiya. He was her teacher." Kesaarah? Kesaarah should be dead too. Tenzo knew? What’s going on? He heard a familiar yip sound. Definitely Kesaarah.
Lady Tsunade spoke up again,
"It seems your suspicions were right, Yanato. Kesaarah tells me that a young boy with white hair and round glasses has taken her hostage. She also said that most of his body looked like it was being taken over by another form. A snake." Kabuto.
"Damn that Kabuto." Kakashi could hear Naruto grit his teeth. "Granny Tsunade, can you tell us what's going on here?"
"Naruto, you need to have more patience. Yamato will fill you in on the way. You should know it well considering you were there. Time is of the essence with this mission. We can not allow Kabuto to take Kitsune's sharingan. Though, I am more than a little concerned. Kitsune did possess the fabled Blue Sharingan but she has not yet contacted Kesaarah and she tells me it has been about three days."
"Yes, you're right. But, three days. That does not sound like Kitsune." Yamato paused, "Kabuto probably has her under some serious tranquilizer drugs but, that is also very concerning to me. She has immunity against that kind of stuff unless Orochimaru knew that."
"And one more thing Lady Hokage. I wouldn't tell Kakashi. The two were very… err close and few knew about the relationship at all. He was devastated when he found out Itachi had killed her. I don't want him to do something reckless. It's the only reason I've kept her secret so long."
"I understand. I will find another mission for him far away from where she is being held. Kesaarah will help you find the way. You're dismissed."
Kakashi couldn't believe what he was hearing. He was so stunned he was barely able to move away from the door before Naruto opened it. Yamato paused and looked behind him where Kakashi had been standing before continuing on.
Naruto waved at Yamato, "Come on Captain Yamato. I want to know more about this Kitsune Uchiha. What is this Blue Sharingan?"
"Me too," Sakura giggled. "I want to know about this girl who seems to have captured Kakashi-sensei's heart."
Yamato scratched the back of his head. "I don't know if that's for me to be telling you guys. Maybe Kakashi will tell you about it but I guess I can tell you a little bit about her so you understand her position. We'll meet at the gate in an hour." And Yamato left. Kakashi could hear Naruto trying to flirt with Sakura. Naruto reminded Kakashi of all the boys that tried to court Kitsune before him but, that was just a happy accident.
Kakashi made a run for it after he heard their footsteps fade away. I have to get to her first. He ran all the way to his apartment to gather his equipment before heading out. As he quickly threw stuff into his bag, he opened the top drawer of his nightstand and came across a picture. He slowly picked it up and stared at it. Kitsune had taken it the night before she left on her last Anbu mission. He recalled she took it when he had given her that tulip.
They had been sitting on his couch. He was reading Make-Out Paradise. She had pulled his mask down to give him a kiss on the cheek and was sitting with her legs in his lap; his one hand on her thigh with the book falling to the ground, the other wrapped around her shoulder, pulling her in closer. She had blushed so hard. They had both laughed like children at something ridiculous he had said but now he could not remember what.
Kakashi could smell her rose water scent even now. He sighed heavily before neatly placing the picture in his copy of Make-Out Paradise and stashing both in his pack. Kakashi threw a cloak over his shoulders and left his apartment, not even bothering to lock up. He wanted to make sure he could follow close behind Team Yamato without being seen and was hoping they hadn't left yet but knowing Naruto most likely not.
Kakashi got to the gate a few minutes before Team Yamato arrived. Yamato was obviously impatient. He is anxious to find Kitsune too. They used to be really good friends.
"We are going to visit where she was staying when she was captured first and hopefully find some leads. Alright guys, lets head out." And with that Team Yamato leaped into the trees.
Kakashi ran close behind them and could hear every word that was said with his sensitive hearing.
"So.. Captain Yamato," He could hear Sakura coax him a little. "What was she like?"
Yamato sighed. "She was like no one else in the village. Half Uchiha and half Inuzuka. Kitsune was always fearless to say the least."
"You mean she came from Kiba's clan too?" Kakashi never had to strain to hear Naruto's voice.
"Her father was an Inuzuka. Her mother was the granddaughter of Madara Uchiha. She was shunned when she married outside the clan. The Uchiha thought the sharingan only belonged to them. Her parents were killed during the nine-tails attack. Kitsune's life was not an easy one but she was certainly talented."
"And what about the Blue Sharingan?" Naruto asked.
"The Blue Sharingan is a rare trait some Uchiha get when they married outside of the clan. Which, obviously, does not happen often nor does the trait happen every time. It gives the user the ability to see into other's minds and through the senses of others as well."
"Can you explain it to me Captain Yamato? I don’t really get it."
"She can possess others minds. Meaning she can see what they see or smell or taste or even feel what they are feelings from emotions to physical pain but, she can not possess others like the mind transfer jutsu. However, she can make you think you are seeing or feeling different things kind of like in genjutsu. Some minds are harder to penetrate than others and it is not a pleasant feelings either. The Blue Sharingan also allows her to see through objects."
Sakura spoke up, "So that is how she is going to contact Kesaarah, isn't it Captain Yamato?"
"Exactly. But Kesaarah and Kitsune are very close she can pinpoint a general area of location on her but she needs to be contacted to get the details of where she is, otherwise we will be wondering around amiously trying to find her and Kabuto. We might already be too late to stop whatever it is Kabuto is doing."
"Then lets pick up the pace." Naruto said pushing forward.
Kakashi pushed forward behind them. He saw Kesaarah look behind and lock eyes with him. Kakashi brought a finger to his lips and Kesaarah turned back around. Her eyes had been fully blue.
