Kakashi's POV

"Kakashi-sensei? Are you going to be all right with Alice gone?" Sakura asked. "Yeah. I'll be fine." I lied. "I miss her already." Naruto said, anime crying. "Hn. She'll be fine. She's back where she belongs." Sasuke said casually.

'Playing it cool, huh?' I thought as I looked at Sasuke. I really hope Alice is okay where she is.

Alice/Misaki's POV

"Welcome home, Misaki." A girl with dog ears on her head was by the entrance to greet me. "My name is Cerberus and I'll be your playmate. Nice to meet you." She greeted. I stared at her emotionlessly.



"If you don't understand, I'll explain to you about the playmate thing. I'm here for whenever you get bored or if you just need some company." Cerberus said. I nodded, saying I understood. "Ne, Azazel. How come she's so quiet?" She asked my brother.

"She just needs time adjusting. But, Misaki. You didn't have to go back to your angel form just to come here." Azazel explained. I was back in the form I was usually in (human form) because I just feel more comfortable in it.

This room is what makes me uneasy. Everything is a big foggy and the atmosphere was purple and dark blue. The room itself looked a bit gloomy; nothing like I expected, yet darker.

"Father would want to have a word with you later. For now, rest, Misaki." Azazel placed his hand on my shoulder before flying to his room.

I took a seat on the couch and yawned. "What's the matter, Misaki? Are you feeling sick?" Cerberus asked. I didn't answer as I stared at my lap. "You know you can make anything you want with your powers, right?" Cerberus informed.

I can do that? I raised my hand out in front of me and made a clone appear. It was a clone of Sakura. I miss her. I wish she was here right now. I made the clone disappear, then sighed. "Are you okay, Misaki?" Cerberus asked.

I shrugged before pointing at the dog puppets on her hands. "Hmm? These? They're my friends. They're always here to make me happy. That's why I'm always smiling," I looked back down at my lap. "And they also have a special technique to make other people happy, too." Cerberus added.

I looked at her with a raised brow. "Tickle Attack!" Cerberus tickled me, using her dog puppets. I laughed and tried moving away from her, but she climbed on top of me so I wouldn't get away. "No one can escape the Tickle Attack!" Cerberus said as she continued to tickle me mercilessly.

I kept laughing to the point tears were about to leave my eyes. Finally, Cerberus ceased her attack, letting me breathe. I panted slightly as I stared up at her. "You have a cute laugh, Misaki." Cerberus commented.

She took off one her dog puppets and used her thumb to wipe away a stray tear that rolled down my cheek from the constant laughing. I raised my hand up to her dog ear and gently stroked it. "Aw, you're so sweet, Misaki!" She barked with happiness.

I sat up and pulled my knees to my chest. "Oh, don't be sad, Misaki. You'll get used to it here." Cerberus assured me. I shrugged my shoulders lazily. "I know what'll cheer you up." Cerberus said before snapping her fingers. In my lap, appeared an ice cream sundae.

I looked at the bowl of sundae, then looked at Cerberus. "Try it. I hear the human world is provided with all kinds of sweets." She explained. Well, I guess I do like sweets. Ino and Sakura tasted sweet when I tasted them.

I shook my head, saying I didn't want it, then placed the sundae next to me. I motioned Cerberus to come closer towards me. "Is something wrong, Misaki?" She asked. I grabbed her shoulders and kissed her. After a few seconds, I pulled away with a small frown.

"Misaki?" She asked, looking at me in confusion. "You don't have a taste." I said in sign language. "Taste? Azazel never told me anything about tasting being your ability." She said. I shook my head, telling her to forget about it.

What's my brother doing anyway?

Azazel's POV

"What do you mean her wing was torn off?" Father demanded as he read his book. "When I found her, Misaki had only one wing." I explained. "Do you know who tore off her wing?" He asked. "No, sir." I said.

He hummed to himself before closing his book. "Where is Misaki now?" He asked. I waved my hand in front of me, creating a mirror to show me where Misaki was at. She and Cerberus were curled up on the couch, both of them asleep.

Misaki was holding Cerberus to her chest as she slept. "She's sleeping with Cerberus." I informed. "When she wakes, bring her to me. I want to have a word with her. It's been years since I've seen my daughter." Father said.

"Yes, sir." I said with a bow. I flew back to the living room and glanced at Misaki. "How did you lose your wing?" I murmured. Cerberus' ears twitched before opening her eyes slightly. "Hmm?" She glanced at me before sitting up and rubbing her eyes.

I placed a finger over my lips, signaling her to stay quiet. She moved away from Misaki as I approached my sister and picked her up bridal style. I carried Misaki to her room, then placed her on her bed.

"Misaki... Welcome home." I whispered, moving a stray hair away from her face. She smiled in her sleep when I touched her.

Kakashi's POV

I was walking through the woods where the ANBU said they first found Alice. I don't see anything that was linked to Alice. But what amazed was that Alice was able to make it this far towards the village.

"But where were you heading, Alice? What was your destination?" I asked aloud. I continued to walk forward, looking for clues about Alice. After walking for a while, I was ready to head back to the village until I found something unusual.

Lying on the ground, was some kind of... kite? I kneeled down and examined the object a bit closer. It wasn't a kite. It was a wing.

Wait a second... This looks like the same wing Alice has when she's in demon form.

But what is it doing way out here? I touched the wing and got a vision. I saw Alice in her demon form and someone following her. But that's all I could see. The image stopped there. Alice wasn't trying to get to the village, she was trying to get away from someone. 

But who? When did Alice lose her wing exactly? Hmm...

Alice's POV

I woke up after my nice nap, but Cerberus wasn't with me when I awoken. Where did she go? I got off the bed I was laying on and roamed the halls for a bit until I found a huge door. I stared at the door in front of me as I tried to remember what happened to my wing.

Maybe I was just born with one wing. But Azazel said that I should have a pair of wings when I reach the age of five. I can't remember what happened. I looked down at my hands and immediately started tearing up.

I miss Kakashi so much. I want to go back to the human world.

I want to go be with Naruto and the others again.

I want to be with Kakashi again.
