Kakashi X OC [PREVIEW in Kakashi's POV] *flashback* I hid in the shadows, concealing myself completely as I followed a young woman with long bright red hair and a child of six with auburn tinged blonde hair and bright blue eyes. Her eyes were lighter in color than Minato-sensei's and reminded me of crystal clear waters and sandy beaches. They were doing some shopping and after their first stop I tensed as the child turned and looked right at me. She tugged at Kushina's green dress lightly. "Onee-san!" Kushina turned her dark eyes to the child at her side, "Eh, what's wrong Mira-chan?" I darted away to a different alley quickly, how did the kid see me? She frowned cutely as she noticed I'd disappeared, "He's gone now." "Eh?" Kushina looked around the semi crowded street, "Who?" "The boy in the mask." Mira replied before scanning the side streets, her gaze fell on me once more, "Ah! There he is!" She flitted away from Kushina's side, disappearing from sight in an instant and I felt a fleeting sense of panic as I lost my mark, I was supposed to be protecting them!

I was taken from my home in the woods at the age of 5, my captor, he had yellow snake like eyes, black long hair, his features screamed danger, but I?

WARNING This book contains strong language and suggestive scenes. Read with caution! ____________________________________________________________________________ It's been about three years since I left home and, for the life of me, I can't find it in myself to regret my actions. I won't say that there was nothing left for me there because that wouldn't be true... I feel sorry that I left so suddenly; I left a lot of loose ends. I don't believe I will be missed, even after all these years. Because one thing that I took with me from home was the same single minded focus that they all have. They have one goal. They have one dream. And they will create a single reality. I will be no different. I refuse to sit idly while this world goes from bad to worse. I can do something about this. I can change the way things are and bring about the way things ought to be. I can do the things others are afraid to do or won't do. It won't be easy... it might be messy... but I swear on my life I will bring about a better world.

"I'm Y/N Hatake. Things I like and things I hate... I don't feel like telling you that. My dreams for the future... never really thought about it. As for my hobbies... I have lots of hobbies....and oh yeah, I'm the Copy Ninja's daughter."

Just when Kaira settled in Konoha after many years and finally had a peaceful life, a relative of Tenko shows up.

~In the Shimizu Clan, you must be strong and smart. Obedient and stern. Merciless and cruel. You can have no flaws. Only perfection is allowed. You are not allowed to be caring merciful.~ It's because of this that Yosuga is seen as one big flaw to her father. No matter how hard she tries, she's never good enough. She's never strong enough. She's weak. Though when she gets placed on Team 7, things start to change and Yosuga realizes just how strong she really is.

Sometimes the destination is merely the mid point, and again there are obstacles such as insecurities, jealousy & rage... Only this time, its not you losing your way, but you fighting to hold on to the person you've loved for what seems like an eternity. But this is the path she's chosen... This is The Path to Love. ***** This story is based on my interpretation of what happens after the war, and life in the Hidden Leaf returns to normal...
