Shout

[30] Recoil

Kagami has been silent. As if she has been placed back in Root. After her bonding moment with her brother, she was sent on a mission assigned by Danzo under the name the Assassins Shadow. A secret mission, it was to be done quickly and correctly, no one is to know. Kagami new things were done quickly in the Riot, but to make sure no one noticed she'd have to be quicker than ever before.

She was to go out and survey the positions of the currently moving Akatsuki members. She was to not engage with them, but to only find them, mark out their path and to hopefully figure out where their destination was. 

The mission went smoothly, what didn't go smoothly was making it back without being noticed. You see, her brother was waiting for her. It was his day off from training his student, and he hadn't seen his sister once the entire day. It was stretching on 11 in the morning, and Kakashi knows all too well that his sister gets up bright and early to do whatever she pleases. 

What shocked Kakashi was when Kagami came out of her room when he had been fully anticipating catching her coming through the front door. 

'She's hiding something' was the man's immediate thought. He glanced up at his sister from his book, noticing she was back in the clothes that he first knew her in. All black. 

She has become very quiet and only speaks to critically insult someone, just like old times some people would say. The Chunin exams were fast approaching and the girl knew she would ace through whoever she had to fight, but she was not sure on which the circumstances she had to fight, and that's what perplexed her. 

People have stopped talking to her as she has shown an obvious cold shoulder to those around her. When people were close to her they became unsure, they began to have the same feeling from when they first met the girl. Hostile.

"Where have you been?" Kakashi has always been straight to the point with his sister, and today was no exception. Kagami glances coldly at her brother. 

"Where I decide to go doesn't concern you." Kakashi narrows his eyes at the girl.

"As your legal guardian it is very much my concern." Kakashi stands up and looks down at the girl.

"I can't tell you." Kagami walks past the man and sits at the table getting ready to eat. Kakashi grabs the bowl of food he prepared and holds it away from the girl. 

"Where were you?" Kakashi looks down coldly, "tell me or you don't get to eat." 

Kagami rolls her eyes. 'God my brother just doesn't use his brain sometimes.' Kagami looks up at her brother and pulls her mask down. 

His eyes and he goes to turn away but ends up standing stock still when he sees she has stuck out her tongue. On her tongue are thick black lines. Looking as if they had been there for years. She pulls her tongue back in and pulls her mask up. 

"I can't tell you." Kakashi hands her the bowl of food and sits down across from her at the table. He wants answers now, not caring if it pushes boundaries with his sister.

"Who?" 

Kagami puts her chopsticks down with a huff, looking up at her brother as if he was dumb. "You know damn well I can't say anyth—" 

Kakashi cuts her off. "Masaru, what can he tell me?" 

Kagami's eyes widen and she quickly bites down on her thumb, summoning her friend. 

"Kagami! You do love me!" Masaru stares between the two siblings before sitting down and taking in the intense atmosphere at the table. He immediately sits down and looks back and forth between the two. "So. . . . ,"
