KAKASHI AND HOSHIZORA

Kakashi stood at the hokage's office. Waiting patiently for the old man to respond to his request.

Hiruzen looked at the young man before him, was he really asking for hoshizora to be free?

"At least let her come out of the barrier. Even with the chains" hiruzen sighed
"You know what that measn kakashi, more people could know about her-" kakashi frowned
"Its only to watch the sunset lord hokage. Thats all she wants" he says clearly. "And i believe she at least deserves that after the pain you and the other anbu have put her through"

Hiruzen looked at the boy, the silver haired, just promoted male was determined to give his friend the best. Hiruzen could almost obviously see the motives behind this.

It was clear as day to the other anbu members in the room.

He liked her. Though yes he didnt know yet, it was clear as day to anyone that came across him thinking or talking about the girl.

"Kakashi. You would need to make sure she doesnt do anything brash or direct attention ti herself, we dont need anyone else to be kept in the loop when referring to her powers"

"I doubt shed want anyone's attention. Shes perfectly happy with it being just me and her up there, not after what happened with my team" kakashi said. A pang of guilt and hurt rushing through him as he mentioned his late sensei and teammates.
"They knew?" The hokage asked, eyes narrowing at kakashi as he nodded
"They followed me soon after i met her. They were her friends. And now after going through that. I want her to at least have something she can be happy with when im not around"

The third hokage nodded slowly,
"I understand your point kakashi, but how can we ensure that no one else with go near her when your not around" kakashi grimaced.
"Make the chains.." He whispered. "It would stop her from getting away, but let her come put to see the sun set when she wants too, but please, make it the same length"

Hiruzen ponders over the conditions, before nodding,
"Alright kakashi. She can have that freedom back. Remember our deal" kakashi nods his head.

"Thank you, lord hokage" hiruzen smiles
"Remember, you have a mission tonight" kakashi gives the hokage a thumbs up and quickly goes out the door just as the hokage did the jutsu.

When kakashi arrived at the barrier he saw her with a branch, playing around with the barrier, it made him smile as he stepped forward and raise an arm.
"Come on" he says with a smile.

Hoshizora looked at him unsure.
"What about the double barrier..." She whimpers, kakashi gives her an assuring look and gestures her to come over. She does and looks at him again unsure.
"Trust me" he says to her confidently.

Hoshizora reaches a hand through the gap in the barrier, only to feel no pain whatsoever, she then steps through and looks around, then down to her feet, seeing the same chain she goes wide eyed and looks up at kakashi gratefully.
"Thank you.." She whimpers, eyes watering as she embraces him tightly, he strokes her hair gently and then looks to their spot.
"Wanna see the village before sunset?" He asks. She nods her head, letting go of him and hurrying iver to the rocks and climbing onto them, chain clinking as she moves around, he couldnt help but feel much happier with being able to see her free like that.

"Howd you do it?" She aks, sitting down on the rock. Kakashi soon joined her, sitting cross legged beside her,
"I dont know really, i didnt expect for him to give in so easily" hoshizora looks iver the village
"Why are there so many grass spots?" She asks, pointing to what she was talking anout, kakashi smiles at her
"Thats the training grounds. Where ninja teams go to soar with eachother and practise ninjutsu away from the village, to stop it from getting damaged"

"What about iver there, that big round building"
"Thats the hokage's office, he lives there too" she then points to the gates, he smiles at her
"Thats the village gates. The entrance. And see over there that building with the steam coming out of it?" She nods
"That ichiraku. The place i get the ramen from" he then pulls her close to him and points out a couple more places before finally settling on some apartment complexes
"And over there is my apartment"
"Whats an apartment?" She asks curiously, he chuckles at her
"Basically a building with a bunch of small homes in it"
"Oh" she then looks to the apartments again. "You live there alone?"
"Yeah, i dont go there that much anymore. I come here more then i go home"

She tilted her head to the side. He smiles at her again and pulls her closer, hugging her
"To be honest i feel more at home here then there" he mumbles making her giggle.
"I wish you could go to all these places with me.."

Hoshizora smiles at him sadly,
"I want too... But"
"I know, i promised to wait. And i will" she leans her head against his shoulder. Relaxed. Kakashi looked at her then to the village.

Ill find a way to get her out of here. I swear
