We Were Friends (Kakashi x oc)

⚔️Its My Choice⚔️

They are back from seeing Tsunade, Mika has mastered the jutsu also for those of you who don't know, Kinoe is Yamato's/Tenzo's name in the root anbu.

Mika POV:

I swallowed my pills with a swig of water as I read over the newspaper, Kakashi came out of his room and looked at me groggily before heading to the kitchen. "Hey Kakashi, I have a mission tonight, don't wait up for me, there's no guarantee when I'll be back" I yelled out to him from the opposite room. He leaned against the door frame and crossed his arms looking at me before asking "Am I not on this mission?" I smiled at him lightly before saying "It's a root mission not one for Minato, sorry". Those words instantly stripped any sign of happiness off his face and replaced it with a scowl.

"I don't like you going on root missions" He stated as plain as day before continuing "The root missions are dangerous and impure" I scoffed a little getting a bit defensive of my job "You know we protect the village from the shadows, right? We do the missions the anbu aren't fit for, the super secret missions that ordinary ninja have no idea about, the only thing you know about our missions are rumours as we all have seals on our tongues so there's no way anybody but ourselves can know" I stated partly annoyed at assuming we were bad.

"Mika, the root are evil, the scum of ninja" He stated staring at me calmly.

"Excuse me! I am a root ninja, am I evil? Am I scum? Tch, I'm glad I know how you feel, I'll have you know it's my choice what I do and Danzo-Dono is a caring man who would sacrifice anything for the leaf village and the people in it, if that makes him evil then then call it what you want but the village has been saved countless time because of his 'evil' antics" I practically screamed with tears brimming in my eyes. 

Kakashi sighed and sat next to me "I know I'm sorry, he just... Leaves a bad taste in my mouth, You're not evil, or scum, I'm sorry I love you and I don't want you to get hurt" he muttered the last part looking down at his legs.

I sighed looking at him before saying "I promise I'll be careful, and if worse comes to worse, I'll abort, I will be fine I promise, I've been doing this for a while now, just don't worry to much about it" I said with a small smile which was unusual as we were literally just arguing.

He gave me a hug before I put my shoes on and waved goodbye to the worry wort on my way to the roots compound, I attached my mask to my face, concealing my identity and weaved some hand signs to teleport than stood before in front of Danzo-dono. All of the root members wore the standard cloak and mask of the Konohagakure Anbu, mine being a white owl with a red beak painted on, We didn't have an actual standardised uniform like the other units. Underneath the cloak each Root member wore a personal attire, mine consist of my other anbu attire as I don't want to get my clothes dirty. 

"Ah Mika, Its good to see you back, I assume you're all cured" He said with a microscopic smile and I nodded briefly before he continued "This is Kinoe, he is a wood style user, he will be accompanying you on your mission today, there is a man, in the next town over, he's been moving town to town, kidnapping women, he's getting close to the leaf, the mission is to stop him and find out where all the women are before killing him, if you don't kill him bring him back for torture and interrogation, although that will only be necessary if he doesn't tell us where the girls are" Kinoe and I didn't say a word we just nodded.

We had nothing to go on, no photos, no name, no hints at which made this a thousand times harder than it should be Kinoe and I headed towards the village exit in silence, this wasn't unusual for root members, actually it was pretty common but I couldn't resist but ask "how old are you" I didn't mean to be rude with the question but he looked around 10. "I'm 11" He muttered not even glancing at me, oh my this is the kid who was experimented on by Orochimaru, hashirama's cells reside within him.

"Can you fight well?" I asked needing to know weather I will be doing everything or not. "I graduated the academy at 6 and became chunin in the same year, when I was 7 Danzo-Dono recruited me and has been training me" he explained and I nodded in understanding, he must be strong then. 

We continued on until we reached the village.
