Kakashi's Older Sister (Story is Rebooted as "Hatake")

Chapter 5

A/N: Sorry for the lack of updates! Happy Pride Month btw, and remember that all lives matter because all of us are human. Stay safe people.

Akari woke up at 4:00 and quickly got ready for the day. Is was still dark outside. Kakashi was with her and she looked in his crib (which was next to her bed) to find him sound asleep. He had gray hair like her and her father. He didn't cry very often but when he did, he was quiet. This caused her to put his crib next to her bed. With normal genin attire, she gently carried him with her to the kitchen. She was careful to not make a sound to not wake him up. After making and eating her breakfast with one arm, she puts him back in his crib to change him and go outside. She woke him up as she was doing this and he happily gurgled at her and grabbed her hands.

"Well good morning to you too." She said with a small smile. She left to grab a stroller (and baby sling just in case) to put him in to go outside. She grabs her katana and they go to the training ground. Akari looks toward Kakashi. "Be good and stay here alright?" Kakashi nodded. Okay then? Akari blinked. 

She shook her head and went to meditate under the tree where she met the root members. She unsheathed and grabbed her sword with both hands while stretching it in front of her as she sat down. She closed her eyes and focused on putting chakra into the hilt her sword and letting it flow to her other arm. 

Chakra Wave. She felt an unfamiliar chakra signature where her sword was and opened her eyes. What?

I sense another being in this sword.

Another being? Do you think this sword is conscious then?

There is a possibility. Try to stretch your chakra into the sword and keep it there. If there is another being, I won't be able to help you out.

Akari closes her eyes and focused her chakra into the sword.

"So you managed to find me?" Akari opened her eyes and found herself in a mind space with light colors surrounding the area. She looked down to find herself floating.

Wait, there's someone else here. She looks up and sees a woman with long black hair and onyx eyes. She had a smirk on her face. 

"Who are you?" Akari asked. The woman crossed her arms and answered.

"I'm the mind in this sword. The person who made this put their chakra into making this sword and made me. Usually, I wouldn't allow anyone to use it other than my owner but you seem like a strong kid."

"What's your name?" Akari stared blankly at the woman.

"The name's Yua. What's your's kid?" 

"Akari. Since we'll be working together, I hope we become good friends."

"Of course. I know you didn't find me on your own so I'll just have to ask the Sage himself." Akari's eyes widened and she came back to the real world in the same position she was in.

Akari?! You've been silent for a while now and haven't been responding.

I'm fine. You were right about a conscious being in this sword. Her name is Yua.

Ichika's sword huh. Things do manage come around. That sword was the sword of the woman who I trusted with taking care of my sons. Yua was her trusted companion. Interesting that it still looks the same. I didn't recognize it until now.

"Of course I look the same!" A familiar voice filled Akari's mind.

Yua? I guess you can enter my mind too. Akari stands up and walks over to Kakashi and they walk back into the house.

"I'll be here to give you pointers and we can just talk as well. Hagoromo! I see you chose this girl to be the next Ichika." Akari puts on the baby sling, picks up Kakashi, and puts away the stroller.

Yes, she is strong and has potential. Akari puts Kakashi in the sling with him facing away from her.

You guys do realize I'm still here right?

"Yup,"  Yua and Hagoromo say at the same time. Yua and Hagoromo begin to catch up on what they've been doing and Akari tuned them out.

It was 5:30 in the morning and it was still dark outside. She prepared some food for Kakashi and put everything she needed in a bag. She also prepared food to bring to her mother later.

While putting Kakashi back in his crib, she hears her front door open. Chakra Wave. She senses a familiar chakra signature and says nothing.

"What are you doing awake?" Sakumo asked. "Congratulations on becoming a genin by the way." Akari turned to greet her father.

"Welcome back. I was awake because I was training and getting ready to meet up with my Sensei. Are you going to take care of Kakashi or are you busy right now?"

"I need to do my report. Afterward, I can take care of Kakashi and go see your mother." Sakumo replied. "Have fun training with your sensei."

I guess she's still as reserved as ever. Sakumo thought. He turned away and walked down the silent halls of their house.

"I'll bring Ototo with me and you can go see mom," Akari called from her room.

"Thank you!" Sakumo yelled. Akari picks up Kakashi again and puts him in the sling. She picks up the bag and walks out the front door.

Do you have a good relationship with your father?  Hagoromo asks softly.

I wouldn't say we have the best relationship but he's a kind man.

"You poor girl. You should try to spend some time with him. He seemed a bit sad." Yua said. Her ghostly presence floated next to her. Only Akari could see her. She never looked her way though.

I'll try later. Right now I need to focus on my mom and my training. She's been weak after Kakashi was born. Akari slowly made her way to the Hokage's mansion.

At least try to focus on both of them. You're only 5. You should've been asleep and playing with friends right now. Not be emotionless and training. Try to make friends.

Akari passed the market place and the police force station. People were setting up for the day.

I only have 2 years to master the time Jutsu. If I don't master it by that time, I lose some of my life force while training with it. 

Hagoromo went silent.
