I'll Show You Insanity

Chapter 4

After what felt like an eternity to Kakashi, they reached the Konahagakure gates.

"Oy, Kakashi-San!" Called Izumo, while Kotetsu slept peacefully beside him, his head lolled back and throat clearly visible. "Who's the Kid?"

Kakashi felt Yuma's arms tighten as she began muttering softly.

"One slice to the jugular and it's all over," she whispered, an air of excitement to her voice. "But that's be too quick, no, pierce the flesh with cold senbon needles. After the numb will the pain appear. Slowly, he'd bleed to Death."

Kakashi, attempting to ignore her mumbling as he looked at Kotetsu and Izumo, shook his head.

"She's a guest of Lord Hokage's," he replied in a slightly stressed voice, impatient to leave before he had to worry about a funeral. "Look, I haven't got time for small talk, so I'll be going."

"All right then, see ya. Bye Kid," he said, nodding at Yuma.

"Goodbye!" Said Yuma sweetly. "You might wanna wake your buddy up, he could have died."

"Ha, sure Kid," Izumo chuckled. Kakashi, though, hurried off, knowing full well that she wasn't kidding in the least.

As they passed through the village, Yuma's arms would regularly tighten around his neck as she would murmur quietly every now an then.

"Could you please not do that!" Snapped Kakashi finally.

"What?" Asked Yuma.

"Muttering about how you want to kill everyone here!" He hissed silently.

"But it would be so much fun!" Said Yuma happily.

Kakashi had enough and teleported to the Hokage's office, directly in the middle of the room. He quickly forced Yuma off his back and took several steps away.

"Ah, there you are! How are you Yuma?" Asked the Hokage with a smile.

"Grampa Saru!" Cheered Yuma, grinning as she leapt over his desk and hugged him tightly. "I didn't kill Bakashi, just like you asked! Aren't you proud of me?!"

"Yes, I am. Thank you, Yuma," he smiled warmly. He turned his smile to Kakashi. "What do you think of Yuma, Kakashi, honestly?"

Kakashi stood there for a moment.

"You have my permission to speak freely," chuckled the Hokage. Kakashi took a deep breath.

"That child is incredibly sick in the head. All she thinks or talks about is murdering others. She has no conscience. She is a monster. A heartless, horrible, monster." He said monotonously.

"Ah, I understand, Kakashi," Lord Hokage nodded. "And Yuma, what do you think of Kakashi here?"

Yuma scrunched up her eyebrows to think.

"I think he's a good person," she said. "He hates me, so he's smart too! And he tried being nice and patient, but he's not as good at it as you. I like him!"

"I see..." Sighed the Hokage. "Well, Kakashi, I have one more assignment for you today."

"Yes, Hokage-sama?" Kakashi asked, a sense of dread settling in his stomach.

"Yuma is to stay with you through her stay here, and you two will get along," said the Hokage.

"Wha- but, Hokage-sama, I-!"

"Kakashi, that's an order." Lord Hokage cut in. Kakashi let out a sigh, mixed with exasperating and defeat.

"Hai, Hai......" He said, making a defeated gesture with his hand.

"Good, now, I've already had ANBU prepare her room and bring her things to your house. She'll be start at the ninja academy tomorrow, though she'll be graduating with that class, so you'll need to prepare her."

Kakashi's mind was whirling as thoughts spun around. He forced himself to speak.

"B-But Lord Hokage!" He sputtered. "You're really going to allow her to become a shinobi?! What if she-"

"That is why she is under your care, do not worry Kakashi. ANBU will be watching her as well."

Kakashi new that he wouldn't be able to change the Hokage's mind. So he heaved another heavy sigh, let his shoulders fall, and his head hang.

"Hai, Lord Hokage."
