Someone you loved

Chapter 1

Hey my lovely readers,

So, I know I said I'd update on specific days but then I realised that it feels stupid sitting on finished chapters without publishing them and that it sort of takes out the fun of writing.

Instead, I'll simply update everything I have by now in the next couple of days and after that updates will be depending on much time I have.

Also, this story is a fanfiction and obviously not entirely like canon. So if things don't add up then that's because I've changed them.

I'd really appreciate it if you could leave a vote or comment and give me constructive critiscm. English is not my first language so if there are some mistakes, please, bear with it.

Bleeding Heart is not my fist story, so if you're curious you should check out Atonement and its sequel Salvation.

Anyway, I won't hold you up any longer, so enjoy the next chapter.

Love, Stella xx

~ Time skip 5 years ~

Hiruzen slowly took a deep drag of his pipe, as he reread the scroll Jiraiya had send him. There was a certain crinkle in his eyes that showed of happiness and relief. Stroking his beard with one hand, he turned around, looking at the sunrise that painted Konoha in a mystical light.

"Get me Hatake Kakashi."

The quiet sound of a drop told him that one of his ANBU guards had gone to retrieve said Jounin, but experience had taught him that the man wouldn't come until at least an hour later. So, he had time to reminisce in old memories.

'Five years. We finally found you after five long years, Chiasa. Who would have thought that you and Sasuke-kun were so close by? I'm sure you'll have many stories to tell and I'm looking forward to hearing all of them. Especially, how you were able to escape Jiraiya's spy system until now,' pondered the old man, a small smile on his tired face. 'My old student is furious.'

Two hours later, a certain silver-haired Jounin finally entered the Hokage office through the window. Hiruzen could literally feel the annoyance of his ANBU guards, but wisely choose to ignore them. Instead he focused on the lazy Jounin in front of him.

"Kakashi, it's nice of you to come."

"Ma, you've sent for me and here I am," replied Kakashi bored as he turned a page of his Icha-Icha Paradise.

"That is correct."

Suddenly, the privacy seals of the office lightened up and the ANBU guards disappeared with a wave from Hiruzen.

Kakashi immediately turned from lazy to serious, and pocketed his orange book, stuffing his fists into his pockets.

"So, it is something serious, Hokage-sama." His lone eye glinted dangerously in anticipation of the mission.

It had been far too long since he had had a difficult mission, the Hokage having pulled him out of ANBU in favour of making him a Jounin-sensei. Him! Friend killer Kakashi! The old man never wanted to listen to his warnings that he was not suited to look after young, impressionable children.

"Yes, I have an A-class mission for you. However, it could also easily change into an S-class one if the conditions change. Do you accept?" inquired Hiruzen, already knowing the answer but it was just polite to ask.

He didn't know how much Chiasa had changed in the last five years and how she'd react to a shinobi of Konoha calling her back home. Hopefully, she was still the same kind-hearted girl she had been before the massacre.
