Me: Now why would Kakashi think 10 - 12 years back about a tragic night that he was sorry of from the last chapter? In his thoughts, he seemed to blame his self of taking someone else's friends, life, love -- did he kill someone? Oh me!!! Let's go find out now.

Here's my initial render of Ruirein. xd:D I'm not a good drawer okay, so please bear with it. :p If you think you can do better, I'd love to see it. :) I still have one more but I wouldn't want to show it until the end as it would spoil some hidden mysteries. And the daisies aren't mine. Just cut and pasted it from Picnik! xd:D

WEAVING DESTINY 9:The Ghost that Haunts from the Past

And here's another one. I'm actually still having a hard time drawing how I imagined her to be.

DIALOGUE VERSION

Sakura: “Oi, Naruto - Kakashi-sensei has been gone for quite some time now. I’m beginning to get worried.”

Naruto: “Ah, don’t worry about him. He’s old enough to take care of his self.” *lays his sleeping mat on the ground*

Naruto: “Ehehe..." xd:D "Kakashi-sensei is probably just around a tree or somewhere, reading his books while his mind wanders over the contents of that bo- - a-h-ack! Sakura-chan, please stop hitting me.” :(

Sakura: “I’ll only stop until you learn not to say nasty things in front of a woman!” :mad:

Naruto: “B-bu – but at least I was not so specific with the words this time!” U_U:(

Sakura glared back at Naruto and continued to lecture Naruto who never ran out of excuses. The trees swayed with the wind as Naruto and Sakura’s argument faded farther into the open space.

Kakashi felt like the ghost who has been haunting him for years is now starting to show up as he continued to listen to Ruirein.

Kakashi: “Then why did you stop?”

He was hoping that what she would say about that incident in the meeting point might lead him to a solid conclusion.

Ruirein: “I saw flashing lights and heard chirping birds…There were like a thousand of them.”

Ruirein: “Sakura told me that it was your chidori trying to stop the beast. But I saw something different. At that very moment, I felt like I was 12 or so. I saw a silhouette of a young man running towards me. But before he could come to me I felt a sharp pain in my back snapping me back to reality.” *recalling how the summoned beast's tail pierced through her back*

Ruirein: “I panicked and increased my chakra to push it from me but every time I push it, it felt like my body was releasing an intense heat until all I see around me is a blinding radiant light. Then, I was drawn into darkness and that vision I saw earlier continued.”

Ruirein: “We were rushing through the shadows of the night. It seemed like we needed to do something that we should finish up in a very short time. Once again, the lights started to flash and the chirping of a thousand birds sounded.”

Ruirein tried to keep up with her story trembling in fear as she recalled the visions. Tears welled down her eyes knowing that the next thing to happen is how it ends in a tragedy. Her knees weakened that she leaned on the tree and slowly slid down to a curl. Her hands curled above her knees while she rested her chin above them.

Ruirein: “This time around, despite seeing only a silhouette of him, I felt that I know him. He was someone close to me – no - someone I have learned to adore and loved all my life. I was willing to take a risk on whatever we were about to accomplish. Then, I saw thunder clouds forming in the sky. There was someone else – I’m not really sure – but whoever he was, he just summoned a lightning creature – the Lightning Phoenix. Seeing the large mass of thunder clouds, I realized that he could die so I called out for him to stop. But he did not listen to my pleas. Soon, the clouds lighted up as thunder roared and a fierce form of lightning dashes down from the sky towards him.”

Kakashi, hard and strong as steel, melted like snow as every word she says confirms the ghost of that tragedy. Slowly, he guiltily sat a couple feet to her right. His back against the tree, head bent low; left leg bent on the ground, and right leg bent up as his right arm rests on his knee. He continued to listen as his memory showed him exact clear visions of that tragic night.

Ruirein: “The Lightning Phoenix struck him, and he tried to fight it with all his strength not wanting to lose. He fought as hard as he can but in the end, he was defeated and consumed. I wanted to go to him and try to revive him but I could not. Some invisible forces were keeping me from going to him. He called out my name but I could not even make up what it was. I-I wanted to go to him and tell him I love him, hoping that he would continue to fight for life knowing that someone waits for him. But I could not go near him. At that very moment, I regretted of not having to tell him how I felt. I was a coward. I wish I could have told him how much I loved him. I wish he could have known before he - -“

She suddenly stopped as she was once again enclosed into an all too familiar hold. She closed her eyes wishing it were all true and that she was not dreaming. She wrapped her arms around him, as his other hand gently pressed her head closer to him. She pressed her cheeks deeper into his chest; his scent telling her that she was not dreaming came to her like an assurance from heaven. Her heart beat faster and she could hear his beat with her. In a moment, he buried his face against her head and whispered gently from above her head.

???: “I-I’m so sorry…I know, now, A-Arashi.”

Ruirein: *at the back of her mind* ‘A-Arashi?’

Ruirein: “Argh!”

She softly cried as a thin sharp pain pierced through her temples somewhat snapping her back to reality. She could see Kakashi standing a couple meters from her like he just finished up an attack and is ready for another.

Ruirein: ‘Huh?’ - - ‘Did I fell asleep?’

She asked herself softly and paused to think as her memory played for awhile in her. Her eyes started to look for something and it landed on the man opposite them.

Ruirein: *fixing her eyes to the other person* ‘Ah, that was what I was supposed to do.’

???: “What a pleasant coincidence!” said the man before them. He slowly stepped out from the shadows and started moving toward Kakashi.

???: “This is just sooo surprising. I did not expect you to be here.” He said to Kakashi. Then, with a sly grin, he shifted his eyes to Ruirein and then back to Kakashi. In a blink of an eye, he stood side by side with Kakashi and hissed sternly;

???: “Trying to take back what you could not protect eh, Hatake - Kakashi?!” lowering his voice such that only Kakashi could hear. “You’re a failure!”

Kakashi: “Saburo”

Kakashi gritting his teeth replied with a slightly fierce voice as he acknowledged the other person. Yet, before he could say another word, Saburo walked past him and stopped a couple feet from Ruirein.

Saburo: “I believe you have completed your mission, my beloved niece?”

Ruirein: “Yes, uncle. I now have complete information about the Crown of Australis.”

Kakashi’s eyes widened, surprised with what he was hearing.

Saburo: “Good, then Ryu – in the person of Captain Ruisu can stop spying and proceed with the next plan. In another note - - Hmmn, I wonder though why I still had to get in to your head and remind you. Did you get so carried away telling this person about your past?” Saburo stepped beside her and wrapped his arms around her shoulders.

Saburo: “Ah, Arashi, Arashi…” *sigh*

Saburo: “You did not know yet, eh? – This man, standing before you is Hatake Kakashi – a highly ranked Leaf shinobi, possessing lightning element, and who with his sharingan eye has the capability to see through any deflected path of speed allowing him to conquer and summon the most dreaded lightning creature – the Lightning Phoenix!” From behind Arashi (Ruirein) – Saburo let an evil grin as Kakashi stood on guard, alarmed with what he just said.

******​

Naruto: “What just happened, ‘ttebayo?!”

Everyone looks at the direction where a large lightning explosion just took place.

Sai: “Kakashi-taichou’s Raikiri!” *drew a large bird*

Naruto: “No! – It’s something else! C’mon! Kakashi-sensei’s engaged in a battle!”

END OF CHAPTER NINE​

Me: What the -- ?! Why did Saburo call Ruirein, Arashi? And what's up with the Lightning Phoenix? Oh damn! Kakashi was responsible of the death of Ruirein/Arashi's love? Oh, nooeeesss!!!!
Hmmn, looks like a fight is coming up next chapter!



FULL VERSION

“Oi, Naruto,” Sakura called Naruto who was just yawning for a rest. “Kakashi-sensei has been gone for quite some time now. I’m beginning to get worried.”

“Ah, don’t worry about him. He’s old enough to take care of his self.” Naruto replied while he placed his sleeping mat on the ground.

“Kakashi-sensei is probably just around a tree or somewhere, reading his books while his mind wanders over the contents of that bo- - a-h-ack! Sakura-chan, please stop hitting me.” Naruto begged as he holds his freshly beaten head.

“I’ll only stop until you learn not to say nasty things in front of a woman!”

“B-bu – but at least I was not so specific with the words this time!”

Sakura glared back at Naruto and continued to lecture Naruto who never ran out of excuses. The trees swayed with the wind as Naruto and Sakura’s argument faded farther into the open space.

Kakashi felt like the ghost who has been haunting him for years is now starting to show up as he continued to listen to Ruirein.

“Then why did you stop?” He asked. What she would say about that incident in the meeting point might lead him to a solid conclusion.

“I saw flashing lights and heard chirping birds…There were like a thousand of them.” Ruirein said with anxiously.

“Argh!” she softly cried as a thin sharp pain pierced through her temples somewhat snapping her back to reality. She could see Kakashi standing a couple meters from her like he just finished up an attack and is ready for another.

‘Huh?’ she said in her thoughts realizing that he had already thrown three shurikkens to the person standing opposite them.

‘Did I fell asleep?’ she asked herself softly and paused to think as her memory played for awhile in her. Her eyes started to look for something and it landed on the man opposite them.

‘Ah, I remember now.’ She firmly said to herself, fixing her eyes to him. ‘Yes, that was what I was supposed to do.’

“What a pleasant coincidence!” said the man before them. He slowly stepped out from the shadows and started moving toward Kakashi.

“What just happened, ‘ttebayo?!” Naruto jerked in the middle of his reasoning with Sakura. Everyone was alarmed as they see a large explosion of lightning, 500 meters from where they have camped.

“Kakashi-taichou’s Raikiri!” Sai said and quickly drew a large eagle for the three of them to hop on. “No! – It’s something else! C’mon! Let’s head on to that direction. He must be in a battle!”

Well thats a twist,its getting interesting can't wait for the next chapter.
Ruirein/arashi sketch is good but it don't suit her.
Nice work by the way.
I'm glad you're getting interested...unfortunately, I find the drawing not suiting her, too. It does not really look like her at all, in fact. :( Do you know how to draw? Perhaps you can make your own rendition? :)

Actually my name BluePhenix refers to a lightning phoenix that, ever since i was 15, imagined to be an ultimately powerful creature that i would use in my writings... i do hope you'll make it as much powerful :pxd

other than that, your works still rocks!! Good going!! :D

Awsome chapter as always!:D A big twist right in the face:eek:
Sounds like Kakashi knows Kirin too like Sasuke? Or maybe that's the "English" name for it:p

For some reason, I have the feeling that we will know how Kakashi cut lightning ones in the past in one of your upcoming chapters:p

Hmm.. No Fallen? Strange, guess I'm not the only one who has been busy it seems:p
Anyway, I'll continue with 10 tomorrow as it's getting late now. See you then/there and keep up the good work;)

Awesome is just the most abused word in the world of writing :p - probably the second most abused word to love when in the real world.
Hmmn, Kirin eh? Interesting...The Lightning Phoenix though is closely translated to Raiton Otari :) - More of it in the next chapter.

One of the major things that drives the inspiration of this story is about how Kakashi cut through lightning, so yes, you'll see that in the next chapters...The rest of the inspiration - I will reveal later.

Fallen just left a rep here and proceeded to Chapter 10, I think. :p

Well, I hope reading my chapters wouldn't cause you any more delay finishing up yours :pxd:d

xd Yeah I know, but still, when it comes from me it's different as I hardly uses the word myself;)

I see... Interesting:p

Oh nice, looking forward to read 10 then in a moment or two;)

Haha, maybe he did:p

Nah no worries, friends before yourself;)

I don't know if I can portray a real drama as to how he cut through lightning though. But the reason as to why he was able to is there. xd:D Not the kind of drama about love, life, and all ha. Like a dramatic entrance, that is - a dramatic breath-taking act. :)
