Sato Sayaka, age thirteen, is assigned to learn the Rasengan from Namikaze Minato, the sensei of Nohara Rin, Uchiha Obito, and Hatake Kakashi. Obito is thrilled to have her on the team. Rin is glad that there's another girl to even things out. Meanwhile, Kakashi is angry to get her attention because she doesn't notice him at all, aside from being a teammate. With that in mind, Sayaka doesn't really like Kakashi because of his cocky attitude, although she is quite so cocky herself. And fan girls? I don't think Sayaka has that in her vocabulary. And a vow never to fall in love but only to strive to become the best? What will happen here and now? {Hatake Kakashi x OC} 2nd in NarutoWattyAwards (Kakashi) (2014) 3rd in TheNarutoWattyAwards (Kakashi) (2014) *Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. ~Cover by @Jenny20

"Light up my darkness," he murmured against her bare flesh. His fingers trailed up her arm, leaving a blazing fire beneath them.

She desperately wanted to free herself from the torture of the heat, of the shift, of the sadness, but she pushed his firm chest away from her. She yearned to finally fulfill her place among the divine. She desired to guide and protect the species. She wished to eliminate the Challengers. The longer she endured the pain, the more power she would attain to help her fulfill her responsibilities. To the men who watched her ascend, it looked as if she was interacting with thin air, but she knew he was there with her. She smiled softly at him, caressing his cheek. "My Darkness, let the pain fester within me. I crave it." * The Betrayal is a part of The Marking Trilogy and cannot be read as a stand-alone book.
