Ahna was more worried about Silver for various reasons - the main reason was due to the fact she had a motherly instinct to protect any students under her watch. The second main reason was...she felt....well she didn't know how to say it so shortly into a watch when she wasn't always there for anyone. Those missions she did took up most of her time. "Silver" She whispered looking about even when Kakashi placed the blanket on her she didn't dare to look away. She had hoped to see something, a sign of some sorts.

Sasuke and Sakura came running out fully clothed for the weather, Sakura had a medical bag with her just in case not sure what would happen. First Silver hurts her ankle and now this. "Where could she have gone?" Sakura asked taking notice that Sasuke was using the Sharigan to try and locate their teammate. "Any luck Sasuke?" Sakura asked as he shook his head "Nothing, at least not above ground" Which worried him as he asked Kakashi "Do you have any idea where she might have gone?"

...Silver... a voice called out to the silver hair'd ninja as she floated under the water and away from the original hole that she had fallen through. ...Don't give up...fight...don't let him win...silver... a ghostly figure as pale as a the snow and see through as the ice appeared near her unable to reach for her spoke. The ghostly figure resembled the person she held the most dear to her heart - Koga. Don't give up, fight. If you don't...if you don't fight, you'll die. I need you to live, not just for Kakashi and your teammates. But live...for me! Come on, you're much stronger than this. Beat him, show him he cannot make you fall so easily.

Koga was trying to give her as much encouragement until he noticed a presence. The snake demon sent other snakes that could handle the cold into the water after her. Instinctively he wrapped his arms around her, even if he couldn't really touch her, he wanted to protect her. But being a ghost as he was now, there was little that he could do. Until he remembered lately he had been staying on the astral plane playing with things around him. Testing his boundaries...his limits...he made the water where the snakes were turn to ice as they floated downwards into the darkness.

Koga kept the embrace as he turned his own spiritual energy into actual ice almost and was able to feel her warmth. Nonetheless it was fading and ever so quickly. Calling her by a name only she would know, he tried to motivate her again [Insert name] he began LIVE! YOU HAVE TO LIVE! FOR ME! FOR THEM! YOU CAN DO IT! FIGHT [Name]! FIGHT!

https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca88...aaf811c829.png

Nova_Alchemist: Found your post, replied like this I hope it was okay I knew little about Koga but I figured he'd want her to live. If his grave is near then he should be able to travel some sort of radius from it. Stronger if he's near it, weaker if away too long or so that's what I gathered about spirits that is.

Immy: I'm actually at work lol, just takin a break xD
And you're right :) I like it! <3

Kakashi glanced at his students when they joined them outside and sighed. "..I might have an idea." He honestly blamed himself for her running off. He knew of the grave and wondered if she had been lured there by something, or someone. "There's a grave by the lake, we'll look there." He instructed, before leading the way.

~~~

Silver was honestly giving up as darkness began to embrace her. She was numb from the cold, then she heard her name. She slowly opened her eyes and gazed at the costly figure who spoke to her. 'Koga..?' She thought to herself. 'You promised.. I never stopped looking for you..' His ghost was trying to motivate her, but she really didn't have any fight left in her. Her eyes began to close again, she to lacking the strength to keep them open. How could she live like this anymore? Constantly being hunted by the snake and his follower.. How did Naruto or Saskue deal with it? She wasn't as strong as the others thought. She could feel him, or rather his energy when the ghost wrapped around her and forced her eyes to open slightly.

When he became more solid, and called her Snowflake, she knew then it really was him and he wanted her to live. She was numb and cold, and probably away from the hole she had fallen through. She couldn't give up yet, could she? Ahna..and Kakashi..and Saskue, and Sakura.. She closed her eyes and started to focus on her chakra. Not daring to move too much. She focused and focused until her chakra dimly began to blow around her marked arm. If she was lucky, someone would see it sense it.

Nova_Alchemist: This is my last post before work since I'm outta minutes otherwise I'd reply shortly on my phone but I prefer long posts on my laptop. Wish me luck I'm thinking of going in early to talk to my ASM. I need tons of luck right now.

Ahna, Sasuke, and Sakura followed Kakashi to wherever this place was. Ahna was moving just fine, it was her appearance that took the toll as she ran. Her health was doing alright for the time being, no need to pass out or have a heart attack right now at this moment. 'Must be strong' 'Stronger for silver' she had to keep going she wasn't going to be told no in any sense of way and she would fight off whoever caused them problems.

Sasuke turned on his Sharigan he could use it for a bit but stopped when he realized they were being followed by someone familiar. Sasuke quickly turned jumping into the air and throwing explosive kunais at the enemy. Though it seems no one was there, well not until the kunais smoke disappeared. "Keep going" Sasuke said but Sakura grabbed his arm "No, you go! I got this!" It was Kabuto verses Sakura right now and even though she wasn't as skilled as the others she learned a few new things over the years.

Sakura knodded knowing that Sakura wanted Sasuke to find Silver and help her more. Sakura would just feel helpless if not in a battle so the best part would be to fight. A figure moved to Sakura's side standing side to side with her. Shoulders touching ready to attack. "You sure you want to do this?" Sakura asked as Itachi shed his disguise and nodded simply "Of course, I'm not in contact with the. I'll change the disguise later on." Itachi was more focused on protecting Sakura. Kabuto just chuckled as he did a hand signal ready to attack.

Ahna stayed close to Kakashi and Sasuke matched their speed easily "We must hurry" Ahna whispered narrowing her eyes as she saw a frozen lake come into view.

That's it snowflake, keep it together Koga kept protecting the outer area around her trying to keep her safe until someone could rescue her then he would have to fade for them to get close enough. But once he drops his jutsu even in his ghost form then the snakes would quickly come back depending on how fast they swam in water.

Sasuke was ready to jump into the water but Ahna stopped him "Two students in danger, i do not need to have a third one. Wait here with this." Ahna spoke as she passed off her coat and blanket to Sasuke while kicking off her shoes quickly. Sasuke pointed to a glowing spot in the middle of the lake far away from the original shattered ice hole. "Try there!" Sasuke said loud enough to hear. "Stay here. I'm going to get her." Ahna glanced at Kakashi, her eyes proved she was going to bring that child back and make sure she lived. Regardless of what would happen. Quickly she dove into the ice water feeling her body getting cold and numbing down. She saw a half ghostly figure glowing along with another small glow.

'Silver!' Ahna thought swimming through the icy water that was telling her constantly to turn back from the cold and go towards warmth. She knew this was a dangerous move and wondered why the two of them were always in danger around the same time. Ahna finally swam up to Koga and Silver, she had an idea who this Koga was. She saw him in the Hokage files one time by accidentally skipping by the office outside while going to meet up with the others. However, Koga turned to be protective then dropped his spiritual abilities. "Save her" he said as Ahna nodded pushing past her while he disappeared.

Ahna wrapped her arms around Silver, she was freezing and at this rate would die quickly if not helped or saved. Ahna knew of a jutsu that was saved for last resort and wasn't sure it would work. Koga yelled at her about the snakes but she already closed her eyes focusing her energy. The snakes that bit her turned to ash in the water floating into nothingness. She curled her body up to cradle Silver's as something from deep below wrapped them up in a soft velvet touch not that either of them could feel it at the moment. Their nerves were numb with ice and unable to feel anything.

It was a giant rose like flower that came from under the lake breaking through the ice with them inside of it. After a few moments of being above the water, the flower moved them through the ice making a broken line to the shore. A petal opened up dropping as if like a step that was sturdy enough to stand on as Ahna walked out with Silver after standing up. Both covered in ice and drenched clothes exposed to the cold air around them. Sasuke had built a small fire but it wouldn't be enough to help them until they could get somewhere safer. Too hot would hurt them, too much coldness anymore than they already were would kill them, so an equal slow amount would have to do. Ahna sat on the ground tired, it was a lot of work to go through the water as she did. It was worth it; Sasuke had moved over to check on Silver too. "How is she?" he asked, but Ahna couldn't speak, she was far too cold.

(Hope this was alright, I'll check in later)

Immy: Good luck! I'll be waiting for you when you get home, since it's Friday lol

Kakashi only stopped briefly when Sakura told Sasuke to go, then noticed their 'friend' come to stand by his pink haired student. He caught up with Ahna and Sasuke just in time to see Anna diving into the icy water. Kakashi cursed mentally. He could've gone instead! It wouldn't have affected him as much, since he was pretty adjustable to the cold. All he could do was wait for her to come back up. He glanced back at the grave nearby, then lowered his head. How could he have been so stupid? He felt even stupider when a threatening presence close by. Had Kabuto gotten passed Sakura? Impossible. Then who..

As Silver felt Koga let go of her, only for another body to wrap around her, her cursed arm lost it's glow as the last of her energy slowly slipped away. When they were out of the water, and after the flower petal had opened, Silver began to cough up some of the cold water. Kakashi came over to Ahna and draped her coat over her shoulders. He took the blanket and carefully wrapped Silver in it as he picked her up on his arms. Her pulse was growing weak, and he knew they needed to get her help as soon as they could. "She's alive." He said to Sasuke in a relieved murmur.

Orochimaru in the flesh, approached the small group and Kakashi stood in front of Sasuke, still holding Silver. "It was you, wasn't it?" He voiced in a threatening tone. The snake only acted like he held sympathy for the girl. "I only led her to the truth you hid from her. All those years, and you never said a word to her about her dearest friend." He taunted, then he smirked. "I'm sure you were aware of the deal as well? Koga was supposed to give her to me when she first arrived, but once he knew she was your daughter, he made a deal with me.. Should anything happen to him, I had full claim on that child." Kakashi tightened his hold around Silver as his protective side came forward. "Leave, now." His daughter? What the hell did that mean? He didn't have any children! The snake laughed in amusement. This man didn't have any idea, did he?

"You poor fool.. That woman never told you, did she? She had your child and sent her away to protect her from me. Silver found her way home though, didn't she?" He continued to taunt and enrage the grey haired ninja. He was confused, and bafffled, but none of that mattered. "Like I'd ever hand one of my students over to a snake like you." He would've attacked Orochimaru at this point, had he not been holding an unconscious silver haired kunoichi. They didn't have time to deal with him! If Silver didn't get help..she wouldn't last very long.

Nova_Alchemist: ooh time to have some fun on this story. Need my triumph music.
Okay more like battle music lol

Ahna was listening to everything that Orochimaru himself was saying. Standing up she passed her coat to Sasuke "Get Silver home, now. Take care of her, don't you dare let anything happen to her." Ahna threatened "I got this a**hole, just get her to safety." Ahna's urge to protect Silver was stronger than ever. The girl was about to die due to hypothermia there was no way she was going to let that happen. "GO NOW!" Ahna turned to Kakashi "As a high rank Anbu ninja you HAVE to do what's best for the injured. Go now!" Turning back to Orochimaru she stood in front of Sasuke, no one would be getting any children today not on her watch. Sasuke looked at Kakashi for an order but Ahna had a point, she was a higher level ninja at too. She could at least stall him long enough, but he hadn't any idea on how capable of handling such events.

Immy: yuss! Lolz
I figured it was time for him to try and cause some trouble x3

Kakashi honestly wasn't sure what to do. Silver needed help, but Ahna wouldn't be much better off of she were left to deal with this snake. There was no way he'd let her off easy.. and he wasn't about to leave her all alone. He could've sent Sasuke to the house with Silver, but would He know what to do? Hearing her point though he nodded and turned to Sasuke. "You're coming with me, I'll need a hand taking care of Silver." He said, and hurried off. If course, Orochimaru tried to stop him, his attempt failed and he rushed back to the house, knowing Sasuke would be right behind him. As soon as he got Silver taken care of, he'd come back to help Ahna. He had to think though, Sakura and their guide was also there. Kabuto would rejoin his master and the two of them could back her up, which caused him some relief.

Getting back to the house, Kakashi carefully set her down by the fireplace. " Stay here with her. " He said as he stood and sent to get some blankets to cover her up with. The fire would help dry and warm her, but she needed more. He knew not to warm her up to much or she'd sweat, and she didn't need to go into shock if they could avoid it.

Nova_Alchemist: works for me. Lol. Hope it's okay.

Sasuke did as he was told then had an idea of his own as he laid down next to Silver trying to keep her warm. He was using a self heating jutsu he learned awhile back from something he read about his own sharigan and the fire jutsu he did. He was slowly acting as a personal self heater.

***********************************

Ahna watched as she faced Orochimaru, Kabuto appeared next to him looking almost beaten and warn out. Sakura and Itachi appeared jumping down from the trees. "Sensei, are you alright?" Ahna took notice of Itachi "I'm fine, I need you to do me a favor Sakura, Itachi. Take this" she took a necklace from around her neck "Give it to Kakashi and tell him to make Silver drink it. It should stabilize her for a few hours. Not too long but long enough to try and warm her up. In the mean time, patience. Don't you dare let him leave her alone, got it Itachi?!" Itachi swooped up Sakura knowing that wasn't a question and Itachi knew it, but being easily accepted right now was probably the best thing. Doing as they were told they took the necklace and dashed off arriving at the inn five or ten minutes later. Who was counting really?

Ahna closed her eyes feeling her power within herself not being able to rise so easily. Attacking Orochimaru using the energy around her body she fought back and forth with Itachi for quite some time. Though she was starting to lose too quickly, she knew if she lost that Orochimaru could or would find the girl. Her inner strength began to grow as she felt the urge to protect grow stronger. Chakra formed around her body and into her hands as she blasted him with a large powerful blast catching him off guard but it still wasn't enough to take him down. She collapsed to her knees. All these years of training and she couldn't get past dealing with the cold. She had an idea but she'd have to take quite a few hits in order to raise this level of chakra that she would need. It was a powerful move that just like Lee and Gai, could only be used to protect another at ultimate last resort.

Immy: lolz

Kakashi came back with some blankets only find Sasuke laying next to her. He could feel a shift in his chakra as well as warmth when he got close enough. "Good idea, where'd you find that trick?" He asked curiously as he knelt and covered her with a second blanket. A thin blanket. Then he noticed Sakura and Ichi and stood, glancing at them. If they were here, that meant Anna was left with th snake, which kind of made him start to worry. He had to focus on Silver right now.

Slowly, feeling began to return to her body as she started to warm up and she began to shiver, even though she ha dnt woken up yet. She was slowly warming up, but she lacked the energy to wake up.aS

~~~

Being the snake that he was, he managed to dodge her attack. Not bothering to glance at Kabuto when he returned to side while he focused on the female ninja before him. He prepared himself to attack her when she fell to her knees.

*edit*
Whoops, I forgot to to Oro's part xD

Nova_Alchemist: be warned took this in a new direction.

Sasuke responded "Read about it in a book surprisingly" Sasuke focused on not getting too hot so he wouldn't hurt Silver anymore than she already was. Sasuke could only focus on the heat as he closed his eyes laying next to her. He had wrapped his arms around her in order to make sure she was truly getting heat.

Ahna took quite a few hits while trying to hit back but she had to give up one way or another. Kabuto was able to hit her back into the lake where he used a jutsu sealing it off. She could feel the energy rising through her body from her feet to her head. The cold wrapped around her body as she released all the emotions and energies she was hiding throughout the years. The pain, fear, angst, hurt, confusion, everything. Rushing out of her body she shattered the frozen lake top, whatever was left of it. Creating ice spikes out of it rushing them right at the other two. They attempted to dodge it but vines had already began wrapping around them making it difficult. The ice crashed into the spot the two stood and when the winter dust cleared, the two were gone it seemed.

Ahna felt their presence no more as she collapsed upon the ice, she couldn't feel the damage the ice did to her body but she had quite a feeling. This was the end of her tricks that she could pull for quite some time, even if she had the chance to pull another one off she wouldn't be able to. The chakra, the emotions, everything it took to handle everything that had been going on since her last mission. It took a mental and physical toll on her body. She had no idea what to think anymore let alone what to do. Her eyes closed as she focused on her own heart beating ignoring all else around her. What she didn't realize was that Kabuto was still around, half healed now but ready to finish her off even with Orochimaru telling him to forget her. He wanted to make sure Kakashi felt some sort of pain of losing someone even if it wasn't the child.

Kabuto stabbed a kunai down into where her heart would be as blood seeped out slowly until he took the blade out watching her confused angst face. Without being able to move properly due to the strain she blacked out letting everything go. Kabuto stood watching in satisfaction. They still reached their goal one way or another.

Immy: oh crap.. I was gonna say last post, but that would leave it at a cliff hanger and I can't do that xOx

Kakashi got the necklace from Ichi and looked at their guide. "Please.. Go back and help her fight!" He knew he couldn't leave Silver or his other students, but he was afraid of what would happen to Ahna if she was along with that snake and his puppet for too long.

Warmth slowly spread through her as he wrapped around her, and the fire slowly helped dry her wet clothes. The blankets helped too.

Orochimaru took quite a beating from her last attaxk, but grew annoyed with Kabuto as he ignored his order to leave her. There was no need to do anything further to her! He had no bones about telling at Kabuto for ignoring his orders, but what's done is done. He simply started heading towards the inn where the others were. Leaving Ahna just like that, since he didn't give a damn about anyone.

Nova_Alchemist: Alright lets see what I can do on an empty stomach :P and before bed. Final post for me.

Itachi nodded once walking outside of the inn coming almost face to face with Orochimaru. He stood ready to protect the inn from the intruders noticing a faint signal beam coming from the lake. Hearing footsteps around him he wondered who all was there, enemies or allies? Itachi attacked Orchimaru knowing his Sharigan wouldn't work against this snake demon. Close combat in-sued as other village ninjas appeared. Gaara used the sand in the gourd to mix with the snow attacking Orochimaru as well while Kankuro and Temari attacked to protect Gaara and Itachi. Ino, Choji, and Shikamaru stood their grounds with their sensei Asuma. Orochimaru was now unmatched even with the soon followed Kabuto by his side once more confirming the blonde ninja passed on.

Immy: omg.. T^T tell me she's not actually dead >.<

Orochimaru was quite pleased with this news, but he was forced to focus on the arrival of their friends. Kakashi was surprised to see the others, but he knew this would give them a fighting chance. With the back-up, Kakashi glanced at Ichi. "They're friends, go to Ahna!" He said in a somewhat serious tone. All while Orochimaru tried to fend of the other ninjas. He was a very stubborn snake.

~~~

Silver wasn't doing great either. Though warmth was slowly returning to her, being in the lake for that amount of time was long enough to kill her. She wasn't waking up. How was Kakashi supposed to get her to drink the liquid in the vial when she wasn't even conscious. Well, he had an idea but he didn't know if it would work. He went over to Silver and knelt. "Sasuke, I need you to let go for a minute." He said quietly.

Nova_Alchemist: thanks for not going to her rescue (not sarcastic)

Ahna had been able to create a double clone that would take the hit until Kabuto left then it would turn up in smoke. She was leaning against a tree having her shadow clone do all the work. Luckily they didn't realize the one they were attacking wasn't the one attacking them. So it helped fool them easier this way and give her time to work on getting back. She was going to need some help though "Summoning Jutsu" Ahna whispered doing the hand signs as smoke appeared and cleared a moment later.

Ahna summoned a sabertooth tiger that was two times her body size and named "Nala". Nala was a trasportation summon, meant only to transport and protect. Fighting, defending, and running. Not so much as power but he picked up in that with speed. Ahna got on Nala's back telling him where to go and he dashed off after making sure she was on.

Though when she first got on she slid off and quietly said "Okay...lets not tell anyone about that..." of course to her it was funny. The wind rushed through her hair as they dashed off. She laid down on him hugging his sides for support. The main thing Nala was good at was healing though it was harder to do while moving he was still able to slowly heal her battle wounds.

*************************

Itachi tried to get out to help Ahna but sensed something and blocked an attack from Kabuto at the time being. He turned on his sharigan ready to take them down once and for all but this wasn't going to help their future. This is why he was on this path but he didn't think he'd fall for his younger brother's friend. Though she was a cherry blossom that was for sure-he got distracted as Kabuto cut past his Sharigan getting his shoulder.

Although Kabuto was being reckless so he paid no attention to a pink blur that crept up sending him flying with an explosive sticker on his chest. Kabuto crashed far back into the ground as Itachi wrapped his arms around Sakura to help protect her from the blast. Laying in the snow Sakura looked up to see she was on top of Itachi and smiled halfheartedly.

"You alright?" Sakura asked as Itachi just replied "I'll live" though he felt in heaven seeing the sky behind her and the way he was holding her gently for protection. The two of them got up ready to end the fight and realized the other two attacking them were losing gradually quickly.

*************************

Kabuto didn't get up from that attack, his body had gone into shock as Orochimaru was at his side. "We're leaving Kabuto" Orochimaru quickly used a jutsu that allowed him to leave with Kabuto not leaving a trace and causing an explosion. The explosion he knew would cause the snow on the mountains to rush towards the inn as a distraction. Everyone scattered to get inside as Sakura was carried by Itachi and the teams rushed. Getting in moments before it hit, Sakura and Itachi went to find Kakashi, Silver, and Sasuke as the others stayed downstairs. Though Asuma wanted to go after Itachi he didn't realizing he was trying to help them.

*************************

Sasuke did as he was told as he moved away from Silver not saying a word as he watched his sensei. He wasn't sure what else they could do at a time like this.

Immy: okay, so who all knows that 'Ichi' is Itatchi? O.o
..and lol xD Kakashi kind of had his hands full with Silver and Oro :3

Kakashi had Silver upstairs in another room with a fireplace when he brought her here. Just so they wouldn't be disturbed. Kakashi carefully sat Silver up and held her steady. "This might hurt.. But I need you to wake up." He murmured apologetically before sending a small amount of chakra to her, just enough to give her a small boost. Ahna wasn't the only one who knew how to do that. Of course, it took a minute for it to take affect before Silver slowly opened her eyes. "..Good, now drink." He instructed, as he held the vial up to her mouth. Silver did what she was told, even if she didn't fully understand what he asking of her. After she drank the stuff in the vial she coughed some and sat semi-dazed.

When Sakura and Ichi came into the room, Kakashi glanced at them. Since he was currently holding up Silver, he couldn't just get up.

Nova_Alchemist: I do but I kinda forget at times XD I always called him 'Tachi XD
I'm working on it lol she's good. Don't ask how long the blue will stay XD I imagined corpse bride in a way but with skin XD
I have to go to my room for silence.

Sakura got down from Itachi's arms and wanted to go near Silver but hesitate. "I-is she going to be okay?" Sakura asked back to her usual cute self. Itachi stood his short distance from Sakura in case someone didn't like him being near her. Though he knew she would object to something like that in the first place.

"Orochimaru and Kabuto are gone now. They took several injuries and then snowed us in. We could break out of the snow but I have a feeling it would be easier just to stay put." Itachi suggested though this many ninja students in one place from different areas was bound to get...enegertic. He was making a mental note to stay away from them all including...he realized Naruto wasn't here. Well that was a relief, now he just had to deal with his brother. "She looks like she'll be fine cherry blossom. Come on let's go downstairs with the others, I might need your help talking to my little brother." He couldn't say Sasuke's name as easily as he would wish.

Ahna knew she could get inside and asked Nala to go ahead and go back. Though Nala was ignoring her and took her inside himself as he teleport-ed them both. A cloud of smoke cleared as Ahna got off of Nala's back who then disappeared without a word. Though Ahna did say thanks quietly she looked around. Sasuke walked over to her "Kabuto told us you were dead, how?" "He lied, I used a second clone to keep myself safe and hidden. Luckily he was too stupid to pick up on that. Where is Silver and Kakashi?" Ahna asked "Upstairs with Sakura and..." Sasuke couldn't see his name so easily right now. "It's okay Sasuke, just do me a favor. Be there for Silver and don't start any problems. Go off into a room to talk but don't fight or kill anyone. I do believe he is Sakura's guest and you will behave while everyone is healing." Ahna warned him against any stupid thoughts or actions that would cause slight problems.

Ahna left them as she passed Sakura and Itachi, she noticed Sakura's eyes lit up when she saw her. But Itachi kept Sakura from hugging Ahna just in case of injuries as he simply knodded. Itachi was not like the ninja he used to be, he lacked in so much except his sharigan so he would have less to focus on for training.

Ahna cracked the door slightly staying hidden wondering if everything was alright as she leaned a little on the door frame. Right now she was sore and tired, she wouldn't mind have gone elsewhere or even home by now. But they still had a vacation to do if everyone was up for it. The question was, would everyone be up for it? She knew very well this all took a toll so if the snow ever got uncovered then she could try to convince Kakashi to help take Silver to the healing hot springs waters. They were rejuvinating after all, might come in handy once Silver would get back to normal.

Ahna stood there watching the two of them, glad to know both of them were not injured...well not dead at least. She was so worried with how slow she was that she wouldn't make it in time. Luckily her sky sign took notice early when they first arrived allowing others to get close and camp just in case of something. Ahna was a worry wort when it came down to things and didn't always have the power to back up everything she did or thought about.

Immy: i meant out of the people in the inn lol, does everyone know?
and xD i know the feeling of having to flee to the bedroom for some peace- but in my case it doesn't always work since i have a kid ^^'

p.s sorry for poofing suddenly my ex decided he wanted to clean house x0x

Kakashi offered Sakura a father's expression as she hesitated before getting closer to Silver. "She should be alright, for now." He said to her reassuringly. Whatever was in that vial should help keep her stable for a bit so he wasn't too worries. She'd need rest though. Kakashi nodded to his words. "Thank you, for staying with Sakura." He knew who Ichi was, and saw him as a different man now than he saw before. Silver slowly glanced at Sakura briefly before lowering her gaze again. "...I'm sorry.." She murmured quietly "All I seem to do is cause everyone trouble.." She murmured quietly, managing to sit up on her own and pulled the blanket tightly around herself since she was still cold. Kakashi slowly stood and folded his arms. It wasn't her fault. Did she even remember what happened before falling through the ice? He wanted to ask, but refrained from doing so. Instead he glanced at Sakura before she followed Itatchi downstairs.

Silver glanced in the direction of the door as if having a new connection to Ahna. "Ahna-sensei.." She murmured quietly. Kakashi lifted his head and relaxed his arms some and approached the door before opening it. He smiled when he saw Ahna and held a hand out to her.

Nova_Alchemist: Oh! I'm not sure XD haha. Ah his disguise, silly angie. no no they do not but sasuke totally knows right now >.< they are brothers after all.
I have BOTH parents home today so they get to watch my brother while I sit in my silence in my room and post for you ^_^ look how well its doing i'm writing a bunch on this roleplay. if something bothers you with my writing just say so.

Ahna took his hand walking into the room, she wanted to embrace Kakashi but she had a stronger impulse to embrace Silver. Going over to Silver taking Kakashi's hand with her to bring him over as well. Ahna sat down wrapping her arms around Silver "I'm so glad you're alright. We seem to be a pair of trouble twins aren't we?" She joked "Don't ever think that anything is your fault. Never think that Silver. You are safe now, we're both here, and we're never going to let go of you. Everyone loves you in this inn and that includes us most importantly." Ahna had let go of Kakashi's hand when she sat down yet looked up at him telling him to sit too.

(Sorry food is here, must eat)

Immy: haha okay got it. Kakashi totally knows also and apparently Asuma x3

Kakashi gently took her hand and allowed her to lead him back over to Silver. He stood while Ahna wrapped her arms around the young kunoichi. Silver felt hot tears well up in her eyes as her teacher spoke. How could she say that, after what happened? "I tried to run away though.. I almost let that snake get to me.." She murmured quietly with a sniffle. "..and Koga.. Tried to protect me.." She nearly choked on the words as they left they her tongue. "I don't deserve your love, or your kindness.. You could've died because of me." She was. mostly venting, but she honestly felt at fault for what happened. Kakashi sighed and knelt, placing a hand on top of her head. "It's not your fault. He's a snake for that, and many other reasons. All that matters is that you are alive. You're both Alice and safe." He said quietly as he loosely wrapped his arms around his girls. " Orochimaru will never have you, or any other student. " He mused rather seriously before letting go. "Now, you're both wet and cold and need rest." Kakashi spoke casually as he stood.

Nova_Alchemist: well they ARE top rank ninjas after all.

"Well we can't go back outside for awhile and this place doesn't have showers inside since its hooked to a hot spring. So why don't we dry off and get some sleep. We'll stay with you." Ahna spoke as looked at Kakashi, "I'll get her situated into some warm clothes, why don't you wait outside." Ahna suggested as she let go of Silver just to grab some warm fleece clothing she brought with her. A fleece long sleeve night gown and pants to match in a shade of deep purple. She set them on the bed as well as something for herself. She would wait for the other to leave as she would change along with Silver. She wasn't sure if the other one had the strength to change herself or not so she would be there to help. Ahna would talk to Kakashi after this unless they all just fell asleep afterwards. Always something with the trio.

Immy: xD

Silver nodded lightly and wiped her wet eyes. Kaskashi listened for a moment before taking the hunt and left the room. He waited outside like a good gentleman and closed the door lightly behind him. Kakashi leaned against the hallway and ran a hand through his grey hair. How did it come to this?

Nova_Alchemist:

Ahna put on a black fleece pajama set (pants and a shirt) thought it looked odd with her icy pale skin but at least the dark circles faded. She wondered how that was tied into her body through the premonition and would discuss things further with Kakashi later on. Ahna helped Silver change into the purple pajama set and laid her back down on the bed covering her up. Sitting on the side she asked "Do you want me to stay until you fall asleep or do you want to see your friends?" or if she wanted to be alone or not, Ahna wasn't sure but would give the options to ask.

Immy: :p

It made it easier to change with Ahna's help, and after being laid down in the bed, she gently held Ahna's hand. Ahna really was the closest person she had to a mother, and she loved her. As tired as she was, she wanted to see her teammates, not really knowing if they were really friends or not. "I'd like to see them..but..will you come back in a little bit..?" She said quietly and hesitantly. She didn't want to be left along tonight, not after everyone that happened.

Nova_Alchemist: have you ever watched charmed? its a tv series about 3 sisters who find out they are the most powerful witches in history and must keep the world safe from demons.

Ahna nodded "I'll be back shortly, let me go get them" she kissed Silver's forehead calling to Kakashi "Hey Kashi, would you mind staying with her until I can get Sakura and Sasuke?" Ahna suggested waiting for the silver hair'd ninja to come back into the room. Once he would she would make her way downstairs to explain while pulling Sakura and Sasuke to the side. Asuma stood next to Itachi making the rogue ninja more nervous than being around the children who knew nothing. Apparently he was telling him to watch himself and not to make a wrong move otherwise this would be his death place.

Ahna explained to Sakura and Sasuke about Silver's condition and explain not to say anything wrong about the events. "Just be there for her, she is going to need you guys now more than ever." with that they nodded and all three walked back up to the bedroom as Ahna knocked slightly "Look who I found."

Immy: yeah, I watched it a while back but never really got through it lol
Too much to keep up with x3

Kakashi came into the room and leaned against Silver's bed, nodding to Ahna. Was what that snake said true though? About her actually being his child? His one and only daughter, who he never knew about? And there was so much he wanted to say to her, but couldn't find the right words. Not that she needed it right now anyway. Pushing the thoughts aside as Silver gently clung to him, Kakashi offered her a warm smile from behind his mask and parted her hand. "You're alright.. " He murmured quietly.

Kakashi raised his head when Ahna came back with their other students and lightly pulled away from Silver. Silver glanced at them and offered them a small smirk. "Hey guys.." She murmured hesitantly.

Nova_Alchemist: there is a NEW charmed (Charmed 2018 Tv Series)
So far its better than the last one

Sakura and Sasuke walked into the room as Ahna led Kakashi out by the hand. "Come on, let's leave the kids to talk" Ahna pulled him away closing the door for them to talk privately knowing they'd be safe. Sakura hugged Silver as Sasuke just sat on the bed with them. "How are you feeling?" Sasuke asked her.

Ahna looked at Kakashi after pulling him into their room and shutting the door. She hugged him, after almost loosing Silver, having some odd connection with her dreams, and the sudden events unfolded. Her mentality couldn't keep up it's casual expression anymore. She placed her head on his chest just glad to be near him again. "I told you I'd be fine" She whispered though she knew she overstepped her boundaries and had been using too much chakra lately.
