"Iruka I would like you to meet Dawn."

"Who?" Kakashi looked down to find Dawn missing

"Damn it, I told her not to let go of my hand."

"Maybe she didn't I did see some people hanging around you; what does she look like?"

"Well her name is Dawn Uchiha; she`s six years old; she`s wearing a pink dress a white cardigan and pink shoes, she has long brown hair tied back into a pony tail, blue eyes and a bandage around her left wrist."

"You mean like that little girl over there?" Iruka pointed to a girl matching Kakashi`s description being pulled away by a female

"Dawn!" Kakashi yelled and ran after them with Iruka closely following. when Dawn heard her name being called she turned her heard and saw Kakashi running towards her

"Kakashi!" she yelled. the woman who had been pulling her stopped as Kakashi and Iruka reached them

"Is there a problem Kakashi?" the woman asked

"Yes, if you would kindly let go of Dawn`s wrist I would be very grateful."

"You know her? I found her wandering the streets."

"No you didn`t, I was stood by Kakashi and you pulled me away." Dawn tried to pull away her left wrist but it only resulted in her crying. The woman let go of her wrist as if it was on fire and Kakashi picked Dawn up.

"Move along please." Iruka said and the woman left

"Shh, it`s alright Dawn." Kakashi soothed

"So you`re the little girl Kakashi found?" Iruka asked

"I-I`m D-Dawn U-Uchiha."

"It`s a pleasure to meet you Dawn my name is Iruka."

"It`s nice to meet you."

"Iruka, I`m going to take Dawn home, I`ll see you when you return." Kakashi said

"Of course, goodbye Dawn."

"Bye Iruka." Kakashi carried Dawn back to his house and brought her into the kitchen and sat her on the counter top

"Does your wrist still hurt?" Kakashi asked her

"No."

"Did you start crying to get that woman to let go?"

"No, my wrist really did hurt, but it doesn't anymore."

"Alright then, what do you what to do now?" she yawned

"I`m tired Kakashi." he chuckled and lifted her up

"Then let`s get you to bed." she rested her head on his shoulder as he carried upstairs. By the time Kakashi had gotten Dawn into bed she was already asleep

"Sleep well Dawn." he tucked her in and went downstairs to read his book until he fell asleep on the sofa

Several hours later Dawn began screaming which woke Kakashi

"huh, must have fallen asleep on the couch." he was brought from his thoughts when Dawn screamed again. He ran upstairs and into her room to see her thrashing about in her sleep, he ran over and embraced her

"Shh, Dawn it`s okay, it`s just a dream."

"Ka-Kakashi?"

"Yes, It`s me I`m here."

"I was so scared, you weren`t there."

"It was just a dream Dawn no need to worry, I`ll be here I`ll always be here for you."

"T-thank you."

Several months later Kakashi had gotten use to having somebody else living with him and Dawn had gotten use to living with Kakashi. But Kakashi had noticed that Dawn had become less happy over the past couple of weeks and regularly found her sat staring out the window occasionally sighing

"Dawn? are you okay?"

"Hmm? what?"

"I asked if you were okay?"

"No I`m not." Kakashi walked over and sat down in front of her

"Why? What`s the matter?"

"I miss my family." she stated to cry and Kakashi pulled her into a hug

"It`s okay Dawn, it will get better."

"I-I don`t w-want t-to lose you t-too."

"Don`t worry Dawn you won't lose me, I promise."

-10 Years Later-

"Well done in mastering that move Dawn but you still didn`t get the bells." Kakashi said as he landed on the ground where as Dawn landed on a tree branch and held up the bells

"Think again Kakashi."

"Drat, looks like I'm beaten, congratulations."

"Thanks Kakashi." Dawn jumped down from the branch and walked over to Kakashi

"You`ve grown into quite the young lady Dawn."

"You say that like you`re never going to see me again...but thank you never the less and you haven`t changed a bit since the day met you, well maybe a bit."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Well I never thought you and Iruka would start dating when I was eight, then again it surprised me when Iruka adopted Naruto."

"Yes that was surprising, you hungry?"

"Yes, I missed breakfast this morning."

"Why`s that?"

"Somebody dragged me out of bed this morning to train."

"Sorry, let`s go home."

"I`ll race you."

"I`ll win."

"No smoke teleporting."

"Drat."

"Meet you back at the home Kakashi." Dawn said then jumped into the tree`s and disappeared

"Kakashi!" Kakashi turned around to see Iruka coming towards him
