Aki: Hey there everyone, this is sort of a continuation of Konoha days, so you should probably read that before you read this thanks!

"It's still early; did you want to visit the Memorial Stone?" Yamato asked watching Kakashi stare blankly into the water. He never felt at home in a suit, and still wore his mask over his face. Unlike him, Yamato was completely comfortable. "Ah… Sempai?"

"No, I think I'll stay here for another minute… Something about the water today is calming." He said watching the ripples flow under the bridge he was standing on. "Are you sure we're doing the right thing inviting them all to the Memorial dinner?"

"I think it would be best with the deaths of Asuma and Jiraiya-sama. They've not dealt with it properly, any of them." Yamato said. "I think I might…"

"I hear it too." Kakashi said jumping down on the water. "Let's go!" They said and they began running down the river until the sounds they heard were audible.

"No! Get away!" Were heard. It's assumed she was a young girl and they sped up to find a large, greasy man standing over a young woman in burned clothes. "Get away." She helplessly threw a kunai at him and he stepped back when it whizzed by his ear. "GET AWAY!"

"Uh!" Yamato kicked him into the river. Kakashi landed next to the girl. "Miss, are you alright?"

"Uh, yeah…" She said pulling up the charred remains of her dress. "That man, he won't becoming back will he? He's been chasing me since I left my village." She said through gasps. She gathered her long black hair and threw it behind her. "I need to speak with the Hokage; my village was burned to the ground."

"Burned? By whom?" Yamato asked.

"We will worry about that once we get her to the Hokage." Kakashi said picking her up. "Don't worry, we'll get you there quickly." They took off down the river at their fastest and jumped into the trees to get back through a short cut. They jumped into the middle of a busy street and interrupted the business by jumping up the walls till they arrived on the side of the Hokage's building and ran into the office.

"She's not here." Yamato said as Kakashi set the girl down.

"She's got to be somewhere, but one of us has to go ahead, will you take her to the Hokage?" Yamato nodded. "Later." Kakashi said dissapering into a mist of fog.

The girl slowly ran her hand through it and pulled out a bit of the smoke that than evaporated. "Can real ninja do this?"

"If you take the time to learn in. She's probably drinking… tea, she drinks tea." Yamato said catching himself. He opened the door to see Sakura run by. "This way."

"Will you two be handling the village?" She asked, "or will they send out a different team?"

"She'll probably send a different team, Kakashi and I have the day off." Yamato said. "It's why we're in suits."

He knocked at the door and there was a 'come in' from the otherside. The girl opened the door and walked in. "Which one of you is Hokage?" She asked looking between Shizune and Tsunade. Shizune pointed to Tsunade and smiled. "Hokage-sama, my village was burned down last night by amateur shinobi. The village is an entire loss; I'm the only survivor out of the thrity-two residents." She said bowing slightly.

"Yamato, write up quickly how you found her before you go." He nodded and grabbed a piece of paper and began scribbling. "No details needed, she can fill us in."

He finished and handed it to her. "Excuse me." He said and opened a window and jumped out. Yamato jumped a couple times and arrived at a group of Kakashi, Sakura and Naruto.

"I'm here!" Yamato said dropping in, "I was just filing the paper work for the girl that Kakashi found down by the river."

"Told you!" Kakashi said pleased with himself. "I knew I wasn't lying."

"Wow, that's strange." Naruto said.

"Maybe it's a sign of bad luck?" Sakura said.

"What's bad luck?" Sai said coming up behind them.

"Kakashi was telling the truth about why he was late." Sakura said.

"Yamato, I'll maybe see you tomorrow, I'm going up to the Hokage's office." Kakashi said after everyone had left. They stood there standing in front of the restaurant, Kakashi, Yamato, and Navi. "Navi, were you coming?"

"Yeah, I have to talk to Tsunade." She said with a bit of perk in her voice. "I think I found a new purpose."

"That's always good, Navi-sama. Goodnight, Navi-sama, Sempai." Yamato jumped away. They stood there for a second and continued to watch where Yamato had left.

"Zero." Kakashi said and began to walk with her.

"I've got to have higher than that." She said somewhat offended.

"I'm including the fact that I won't let you try to mess with him." Kakashi said as they turned onto the main street, the Hokage's office in the distance. "Zero."

"So, you're not giving him any say?" She asked. "I think Yamato would say 'yes' if I asked him out." Kakashi nodded. "You're not going to afford me the opportunity." Kakashi nodded. "Still stubborn as ever. Personally, I think if you found someone to go steady with, it'd mess with you too bad. So it's a mutual 'Zero.'"

"Just like Minato, he wouldn't let me ask anyone out. It was always 'They're not good enough' blah, blah, blah." She said making a mouth with her hands.

"Maybe Sensai was right, I mean, you two were like siblings before you got in that fight." Kakashi said. They slowly went up the stairs. "Have you tried finding love in other countries?"

"Nope… maybe I should, might be good for me to get a taste of exotic men." She said smiling.

"Just a second, I'm busy forgetting that last comment." Kakashi said and walked into the complex to knock on the office door. "Hokage-sama, are you in?"

"Come in Kakashi." Tsunade said. He opened the door and entered followed by Navi. She waved happily at Tsunade who smiled. "So, Naruto worked?"

"I take it you use him a lot?" She asked sitting on the edge of the desk.

"No, but he did the same for me." Tsunade said.

"I just want to say… thank you, Sempai. And, I have something I want to do instead of monthly missions."

"Oh, what is it?" Tsunade asked looking up at her with a bewildered look.

"I'd like to teach my own team again."

"Good, well, if you're done, I'd like to speak with Kakashi privately." Tsunade said andbefore she left Navi hugged Tsunade and spinning out of the room closing the door. "Maybe I left her with Naruto too long."

"Well, she also has a crush on Yamato."

"Zero."

"That's the chance I gave her too. So, how's the girl?" Kakashi took off his Jacket and sat down on the bench. "Is her village alreight?"

"No, it was completely destroyed, she was the only survivor. The gang has already been taken care off thanks to Ino, Hinata and Chouji. But there is a slight problem."

"What?" He said calmly.

"I'm out of apartments until they're done constructing the new building. I figured you could take her in, since you're the only on besides your dogs in the mansion." Tsunade said taking out a bottle of Sake and pouring herself a glass. "Plus, she's been talking about how you teleported from the office like it's the most incredible thing she's ever seen."

"Might have been, some villages never see real ninjas." He said. "I guess I can take her in, the mansions big enough, I suppose."

"You suppose, you don't use every room do you?"

"Well…" 'Most of the rooms are given to the dogs and Jiraiya's books… I can relocate some of the dogs…' "Alright. So where is she?"

"Having tea with Shizune. I'll be giving her some money from Konoha's emergency fund to buy clothes since everything she has is burned. You are to strongly encourage her to get a job and start over."

"I know about the rehabilitation process, you're forgetting who my dad was." He said. "One time we have nine different people, all of them scared the Hell out of me."

"Well, she doesn't seem that scary, and she's pretty outspoken, so she should do fine here." Tsunade said drinking her Sake. "Come on, she's down this way." He followed Tsunade to the library where Shizune, Tonton and the girl were reading a book on Ninjutsus. "Shinrai, you'll be staying with Kakashi until further notice. I hope you're not allergic to dogs."

"Yes, Hokage-sama." Shinrai said standing up. She bowed to Kakashi quickly. "Thank you for taking me in."

"No problem." He said and put his hand on her shoulder. She heard a loud poof-ing sound and was surrounded by smoke for a second. "So, I'll have to clear the dogs out of a room for you."

"No way! This place is huge!" She said looking at the large three story white building. She looked all over and saw the gate behind her with 'Hatake' written in iron. "Hey, are you related to the White Fang?"

"He's my father. Come on and meet the dogs."
