AN: This has a bit of drama what so ever and i don't really like it that much but it's gotta be in the story so, hope you like it but it gets lighter after this one.

Note to readers: Ages of other Naruto characters are made up or adjusted to my liking..hope you don't mind :))

REIKO’S POV

I decided to leave Konoha and cut any ties that I’ve made up. They’ll be safer without me. I don’t want to have to relive another massacre because of me. It’s better this way.

After 4 hours…

It’s already dark out and I was getting tired so I decided to stop for a bit.

“Hmm, what do we have here?” someone said and my head snapped at the direction of the voice but found no one. I moved a step backwards and the guy suddenly appeared close to my face.

“You know, Tobi doesn’t like purebloods very much.” He said in a deep voice which sent chills to my stomach and I moved another step backwards. The man in front of me wears an orange swirl mask with a single hole for the eye and a black cloak with red clouds. I felt scared, but did not speak.

“You know, I heard that a certain Shin Uchiha killed your whole clan…I’m still curious why he did it.” Tobi said and before I could move, I was suddenly drawn back to the memory of the assassination of my clan.

After the genjutsu…

“So, it was because of you.” Tobi said not bothered that I was currently shaking because of the memory.

“They died because of you. You killed them.” I heard him say close to my face and when I glanced at him, I was frozen in place. There in place of Tobi was my brother.

“I killed them for you Reiko.” He said.

I screamed then felt unconsciousness take me.

MADARA’S POV

I felt a presence coming close and I glanced at the unconscious girl on the ground.

“I look forward to meeting you again, Reiko.” I said as I undid the transformation jutsu and left.

AT THE AKATSUKI BASE

“I met someone interesting.” I said as I walked in to pains office. He looked at me.

“ Will he be useful?” he asked.

“Hmm…I’m not quite sure yet.” I said as I removed my mask.

“And it’s a SHE…not a HE.” I further said and he rose an eyebrow.

“What’s her name?” he asked.

“Reiko…Reiko Uchiha.”

REIKO’S POV

When I woke up, I found myself in my room at kakashi’s apartment once again.

“You’re awake now that’s a relief. How are you feeling?” Kakashi asked as he entered my room.

“What am I doing here” I asked as I looked away.

“I found you in the forest, unconscious. Can you tell me what happened? And why did you even run away in the first place? It’s not safe!” he said and I tensed at the memory of last night. Was it really Shin? I can’t be sure but it just means that I really have to leave now. I stood up, wobbling a little and tried to get out but Kakashi held my wrist.

“Where do you think you’re going?” he asked.

“Leaving.” I said as I tugged on his hold.

“No. You’re staying here.” He said.

“Why are you doing this?” I asked as I looked down.

“Because I care about you and I don’t want anything bad to happen to you.” He said.

“You can’t, you shouldn’t.” came my weak reply. He held my chin and made me look at him.

“I love you.” He said with pure sincerity in his eyes and I felt tears fall down on my cheek. I was speechless and all I could do was stare at him.

“ I will protect you.” He said and that brought me back to reality. I pushed him away.

“You can’t. You’ll die! I don’t want you or Naruto getting hurt because of me.”

“Stop it Reiko! It’s my choice. I don’t care if I got hurt or die protecting you. I just have to. It hurts more that you push me away.” Kakashi said while holding my shoulders. We stayed silent for a while until I finally spoke.

“Why do you like me anyway?” I asked him and he turned red.

“I…I…” he said, not quite finding words.

“And how old are you anyway? No offense. I’m just curious.” I said staring at him while he was busy looking at the floor for answers.

“I…uh….21..” I heard him say weakly.

“Oh…you’re two years older that Seiichi nii-san..” I said more to myself but I think he heard it since he flinched at my comment. I wonder how he came to like me. I’m just 13 and even though some people say that I look mature and act mature for my age, surely there are girls older than me and better looking.

“I don’t mind.” I finally said and he looked at me carefully.

“You…don’t mind?” he asked unsure.

“Age is not a big deal to me.” I said nonchalantly. Sure it isn’t a big deal for me, but people would think otherwise. I glanced at him and he seemed quite happy. Sorry to burst your happy bubble Kakashi but…

“I didn’t say I like you yet.” I said and this seemed to put him down.

“It’s okay. I’m fine just being with you.” He said as he ruffled my hair, I pouted.

“Minus points for you.” I said then went out.

“Hey where are you going?” he asked.

“To take my special exam.” I said before disappearing.
