Team 7: A Loss of Someone Loved

Ausi sat down by the small gravestone that was all that was left of Sasori.  Tears streamed down her face. She missed the puppet master. He was her other father like Deiadara. She closed her eyes. “How long, has he been gone?” She asked looking up at Deiadara. He looked away his face calm but sadness filled his voice. “Two years. Shortly after you left.” He spoke softly as he went to help her up.  She stood and hugged him gently. “I’m gonna go for awhile, I have to clear my mind. Tell Itachi that if I ever see him I will kill him.” She spoke softly moving to kiss Deiadara on the cheek. She moved vanishing into the darkness of the forest.
Twelve days passed and no one from the Akatsuki or Konoha had seen hair or hide of Ausi Hatake. She had gone missing, her room was empty of her personal belongings. The pictures of Naruto, Gaara and her and their team was gone. She had taken off and Kakashi was a wreck. Naruto had returned to find a note from Ausi. “Kakashi , Why did she leave?” Naruto asked as he sat on the couch hi head on his knees. Sasuke was lost for words. He felt terrible. “Itachi left me a letter, She saw Deiadara, telling him that she was going to travel for a few days. I think I know where she’s going, back home.” Sasuke  spoke his eyes on the floor. Naruto moved picking him up off the couch by the nape of his shirt. “You have nothing to do with her. You caused her to hide. It’s your fault.” He growled his eyes going red. Kakashi moved separating them both. “Naruto calm down. He’s right. Even Nighten her wolf is gone. She must have gone back to the land of Snow.” Kakashi spoke as he let them stare at each other. “Naruto go tell Lady Tsunade where heading back to the land of Snow. Sasuke, find Garra and Neji. We need them on this mission. GO!” HE snapped as he summoned Pakkun.
The dog formed in front of them scratching his ear. “Oi, what do you want Kakashi?” the dog spoke as he licked his paw. “Find my daughter.” He growled back making both Sasuke and Naruto pause. They had never seen Kakashi like this.

Kakashi looked dumbstruck as he looked at the girl in Sakura’s arms. “Who are you mister Sensei?” She asked gleefully as she moved from Sakura’s arms. Kakashi looked at the girl. ”Kakashi Hatake.” He spoke looking at the little angel in the snow. His heart stopped as he dropped to his knees. Ausi giggled. “You must be my father.  Mamma told me you had silver hair like mine.” She smiled running up to him and hugging him. “Thank you for coming papa.” She spoke gently as she hugged him. Kakashi had wrapped his arms around the little angel that held him close and smiled.

Kakashi regretted the memory he had never thought he had ever had a daughter and her bloodline would truly be different.  She would have been born with the Hatake bloodline, the shadow ninja that knew how to hid and form. Yet she would have the ice bloodline in her. The ability to walk on water and turn it to ice without using chakra, she would be able to use canines like the Inuzaka clan but more effiecntly.
Kakashi sighed as he moved to look at Sasuke and Nanruto. “I said Go!” He snapped. Naruto vanished in a puff of orange smoke and Sasuke tripped heading out the window.  Pakkun looked at his master and headed towards Ausi’s room in search of a scent only to find none. “Sorry boss, no scent. It’s like she never existed.” He spoke as he vanished back into smoke. Kakashi swore picking up the stuff they would need including Naruto’s jacket and Sasuke’s jacket. He grabbed some food and their kunai, swords and scrolls and headed out the door.
Naruto met Kakashi with the mission scroll at the village gate. Sasuke had Gaara and Neji with him on the way. “Kakashi-Sensie I heard about the letter from Itachi. She’s been hiding something from you and I think Gaara and Naruto should tell you what it is.” Neji spoke as he closed in on them. Gaara and Naruto paused looking at each other nodding slowly. “Sensei, your daughter was cursed with a demon named Takanashi.” Naruto spoke looking at his sensei. “The demon is the seven tailed wolf, whom was in charge of guarding the land of snow for the past three hundred years. It takes a new body every fifty years when it’s current resting place dies. She may be the only one that can control the demon within her.” Gaara’s voice echoed in Kakashi’s ears. They knew more about Ausi then he had ever known.
