Chapter 27: Chapter 26 – A hesitating request

Gene pumped Chakra through her legs to keep them from toppling over. Kakashi noticed and slowed down, so she could hold her own a tad longer. 

"The Uchiha are not very far anymore." He said and Gene nodded thankfully. 

"Thank you. Sorry that my Stamina is so lacking." She excused herself and a lot slower they continued on. Enjoying it, she looked around. The hundred of colors and scents bombarding her were marvelous and fascinating. Turning around, she laughed. "This is amazing."

Kakashi seemed startled by her actions and pointed at a large wooden gate close by. "The Uchiha." He said, and Gene's eyes fixed on the red, white fan above the gateway. Walking towards the gate she knocked at the door. 

Nothing. 

She knocked again and waited until the gate opened, and a large man stepped outside. He looked down at her and raised an eyebrow. "And what do you want, kid?" The man asked rudly. She held out the token Shisui gave her. 

The man looked at it and whistled. "Huh.", The man said. "You can come in. He is not welcome." 

"I have to stay with her. Hokages orders." Kakashi said and kept his gaze on the Uchiha.

"Tsk. Alright then, but we keep an eye on murderers and thief's so you better behave yourself Kakashi Hatake." The guard opened the door and Gene entered through the Uchiha Clan's doors, closely followed by Kakashi. Looking around, she saw a traditional style Japanese villa. Elegant gardens and beautiful flowers were spread out. 

"Are these Cherry Trees?" She asked the guard who lead them when they passed a few old trees. 

"Not cherry, plums trees." The guard answered, and Gene continued until he stopped. "Here is your room, dinner is in an hour or so. We have a community kitchen though for the ones coming from Missions at ungodly hours. Even if you don't attend the usual dinner, you always find something to eat there. The bathroom is through here, for the Kitchen simply head where we came from past the trees and go left, you can't miss it. If there is anything else, just ask a random person, they will help you if you show them the token. It's not every day that Shisui is having a guest." He looked at Kakashi and grumped. "And you, go stay on a tree."

With that, the Uchiha waved her goodbye and left. She waved back and looked at Kakashi.

"Do you want to share a futon with me?" She asked, but he already walked up a close by tree and made himself comfortable taking out a thick paperback from God knows where. 

"Okay, eh, see you  then." She opened the door and stood in the minimalist room for guests. A futon was rolled up in a corner, behind a beautifully painted screen was a wooden bathtub with running water and a large window opened up to the inner garden where the last remains of a snowman stood proudly. 

I guess I will be taking a bath, the first warm one in a felt eternity, and there is a mirror.

She was truly excited at the prospect of a proper mirror. Discharging her heavy clothes and carefully putting away the bow, she placed the Kunai next to the tub and turned. For the first time she saw her body in more than just blurry reflections. 

God, I look bad, this girl she must have had it hard, and my start was not exactly a smooth ride righter. I can count my rips, no wonder Shisui was obsessed with shoving food into me and those fading bruises really do look terrible. 

Shaking off her thoughts she checked over her eyes.  

The Nanites seem to be doing their Job properly. 

Happy she climbed into the warm water and signed in happiness.

Heaven. 

She closed her eyes. The seeping warmth and full belly taking over. After a while she decided it was maybe not a good idea to sleep in the bathtub and crawled out, dressing into a already prepared nightgown.

The futon was already laid out and Gene let herself fall on it."thanks." After a few seconds she muttered a dissatisfied "too soft." She rolled down from the futon and using one hand as pillow and clutching the Kunai with the other she fell asleep on the wooden floor. 

---

Heavenly what is that smell. 

Gene rose following her nose. "See, I told you it would work." She heared a familiar voice and grumbled as her still slowed down brain assigned it to Shisui's face. 

"Only if it is my favorite morning brew." She said with a dreadfully dry voice. 

"Sure it is. Once in a lifetime milk tea special for you." She opened her eyes and grumbled when taking the tea from him. "My back hurts." She complained and Shisui shook his head. "If you sleep on the floor instead of the Futon, no wonder. And use the Kunai if you are sleeping with it." He countered and she made another grumpy  sound. Definitely mornings were another terrible thing regardless of the world. 

"I got some clothes for you, get dressed and come outside, we can discuss what now over breakfast." He said and she nodded. Shisui left, and she downed the Tea before looking at the long pants and long sleeve shirt she that were lying neatly folded next to her. 

She climbed into them and after doing her morning routine she saw Shisui and Kakashi standing outside in solemn silence. 

"Good Morning Kakashi." She greeted him and earned a nod of his head. "Morning Shisui." She greeted him and Shisui nodded back. 

He led them towards another room, where breakfast was already on the table. Sitting down, he faced them with a serious expression"Gene, Kakashi, I need your help." He stated and looked at them. 

"With what?" Gene asked while processing the thought of Shisui needing help. 

"With an investigation, nothing dangerous, but I am a well known Shinobi and even under a Henge it wouldn't be long until someone would recognize me." He looked at Gene. "That is why I need help from someone who is completely unknown."

"And you want to ask a six-year-old airhead with terrible Chakra control?" Kakashi huffed in amusement. 

"Kakashi I know you will stay hidden and protect her." Shisui said and frowned. "I am not feeling comfortable with even asking her for it. It's just...something is brewing and no one will tell us. It is necessary to know what is going on. I wouldn't even have noticed if not for the fact I was forced to return slowly to Konoha. " 

Kakashi went deathly silent.
