[EDITED]
Kakashi POV
I laid in bed alone, staring at the ceiling. Waiting. For what? I knew not. I just waited. I eventually heard her footsteps as she started to walk away. And I was consumed by the feeling of loneliness. I truly thought she cared... but she played me...

Claire POV
I started to walk away.
'Why did he have to eavesdrop...? Why couldn't he just trust me?!' I asked myself.
I walked by the Hokage's building as Lord Hokage stepped outside.
"Is something the matter?" he asked.
"It's over. Kakashi hates me. I failed the mission, I'm sorry..."
"What happened?"
"He overheard our conversation..." I muttered.
"There is only one solution, then..."
I sighed before nodding.
Lord Hokage walked over to one of the jonin and told him to go get Inoichi and he nodded before running off.
He returned a few minutes later with Inoichi.
"What's going on?" he asked.
"The time has come... For Kakashi to remember, go to him, and return with him."
Inoichi nodded and headed off.
Kakashi POV
I heard a knock at my door and I hesitated to get up and go answer it.
"What?" I asked impatiently.
"Kakashi, we need to talk." Inoichi replied.
I got up and opened the door slightly.
"Can't this wait...?"
"I'm afraid it cannot..." he answered.
I sighed before letting him in.
"What is this about?" I asked, sitting down across from him.
"It's about Claire."
"What about her?"
"Let me show you." he said, slipping my headband off my sharingan eye, then making a few hand signs and putting me under a genjutsu.
------------------
Genjutsu...
I was child again, running in a meadow. But I wasn't alone... I heard a girl giggle and I turned to face her. Running by my side, I saw someone beautiful. A girl with long dark, almost raven hair, and piercing green eyes. I snapped out of my daze as she ran ahead.
"What are ya waiting for, slow poke? Am I too fast for ya?" she teased.
"Not in a million years!" I replied, laughing as I caught up to her.
'But who is she...?'
Before I could react, she tripped, twisted her ankle, scraped her knees and hands and started crying.
I ran over to her and I helped her up.
"Are you alright?"
"I think so..." she mumbled.
"I'll carry you home.." I offered.
She shook her head.
"Please?"
