There is more than one side to every story. When we think of Christmas, we think of toys, gifts, sharing a cup of hot cocoa around the fireplace. We also think of happy days, joking around with family and friends, of a green tree in the corner, and our souls would just be brightened for that one day if nothing else.1347Please respect copyright.PENANACkV8ohuh9i

Many Leaf ninja hoped it would be quiet tonight. Perhaps a time to rest. Yet, on this fateful night, something occurred with one small family.1347Please respect copyright.PENANALMaMhqeHnY

It would be a joyous occasion, no doubt. This could be seen when a man with hair as silver as the moon, and an eye as black as night came up steps in a long, winding hospital corridor with rooms on every side. His mask kept his breath warm, shown by the fact that there were no clouds when he steadily inhaled and exhaled. His blacked eyes scanned the white tiles of the floor and his shoes made a very quiet clicking sound as he stood next to a gray door.1347Please respect copyright.PENANARncgZTR5o7

The door opened without a sound, and that showed proper care of the place. Soon, someone stepped out. Like his compadre, he had that silver hair, yet it wasn't as messily spiked, instead it was slightly flat considering the usual spikes. He had eyes like the ocean, which warmed when he saw the man waiting outside.1347Please respect copyright.PENANAEeBv4BTdXI

"Ah! Hello there, Kakashi! Please, come in!" As he further opened the door, it could be seen he was wearing night clothing. They were thick blue pajamas.1347Please respect copyright.PENANAb2C48dvHdB

One could hear the 'humph' of the other man. He looked much younger than his comrade. "Must I, Tadashi? You know this is just a useless sentiment. It's not like this child would even know me. Logically, I would be out on missions far too often for it to even know my name."1347Please respect copyright.PENANAqurNmJIVUh

Suddenly, the older man's eyes became like an icy ocean before flaring into blue flames. He let out an almost feral snarl, "Yes, you must, Kakashi. You obviously care somewhat, you came to the hospital! Quit playing so heartless. Besides, this child will be part of your family." He shook his head with a sigh, before turning his head, and glaring at him. 1347Please respect copyright.PENANAqoweXcsxIl

Kakashi rolled his uncovered eye as he grabbed the door swiftly, walking into the hospital room that smelled of vanilla and strawberries. Huh. It was an odd scent considering it was Christmas Eve, right about to be Christmas.1347Please respect copyright.PENANAzrn4pSJ5Yf

Among the walls there was your standard hospital equipment, IV's, a bed, heart and oxygen monitors, the whole nine yards.1347Please respect copyright.PENANANPT5zvjeEV

His eyes fell onto a young lady in a hospital gown. She was your standard Inuzuka. She had the feral appearance, naturally, the short brown hair, and the red cheek markings. She grinned at Kakashi, and he returned it by looking away. Someone obviously wasn't a family man.1347Please respect copyright.PENANAyXsPAuiz6m
1347Please respect copyright.PENANAtnrP7kAoSg
1347Please respect copyright.PENANAyYvWBGGqQI
"Quit being rude and say hello to her." Came Tadashi's voice. This ended up in a glare given from Kakashi, though he slowly turned towards the white bed and cleared his throat.1347Please respect copyright.PENANAxcvgIkytJC

1347Please respect copyright.PENANAkTuiRcvvDh
"Hello, Yume. By your current oxygen readings and such, I take it that it's been a successful delivery?" There it was. The usual monotone voice laced with a feeling of disinterest. 1347Please respect copyright.PENANAeqABe6hIby
1347Please respect copyright.PENANAIaLRatOIUS
1347Please respect copyright.PENANAORBPM7D75z
"Yes, it has." Yume would remark in a slightly angered tone. But, for once, Kakashi seemed to care.1347Please respect copyright.PENANAvDsasdvNv4

His hair swished slightly as he looked out the window. He waited for the answer, and yet, none came. Instead, what happened was a few sharp knocks on the door.1347Please respect copyright.PENANAocopF8EEKF

One could hear the two brothers in unison. "Ugh. What is it now?" Tadashi grasped the door and swung it open. He saw a small child, a young girl with messed up black hair reaching her back. One could hardly tell what she was wearing because of it.1347Please respect copyright.PENANArdrQgYwB7y

"M-Misters, there's this huge animal outside! It's causing h-havoc." The child's voice was laced with fear, as if the fear was a needle dipped in poison and stabbed into her vocal cords.1347Please respect copyright.PENANAuqOUL2izf1
1347Please respect copyright.PENANAzQ8o87nicT
1347Please respect copyright.PENANAdB7BJniyHM
"Agh. Tadashi, stay hear with Yume. I'll have to take care of it." As much as Kakashi actually wanted to see this child, there wouldn't be one if this beast destroyed half of Konoha. He would simply open the window, letting in the cold air before jumping out.1347Please respect copyright.PENANAAQdoZ1Ddor

The snow crackled underneath his sandals as he stared down. Suddenly, a howl could be heard, piercing the quiet, snowy night.1347Please respect copyright.PENANAOBqsMKoLhz

His eye narrowed and his teeth clenched. That kid was not kidding when they said it would be a large animal. Near the village gate, one could see this wolf, as black as night. It had icy eyes with its pupil rimmed with red, like blood staining an ocean.1347Please respect copyright.PENANAAaeG6F6O4K

And it was over as soon as it started. The beast wasn't killed, oh no. Such an animal couldn't be killed by petty ninja. Instead, they decided to have it sealed. Yet, it appeared there would be no viable hosts. Most would die from the beast being sealed. They were too old, too used to this that or the other, and many didn't offer themselves up. Perhaps it was due to the shame that would occur with this happening. That left no other options.1347Please respect copyright.PENANA1Q7HSwMr5m

A young medical nin held onto a baby, a small, baby girl. She had fair skin, and silver hair, though rather short for the time being. After all, she was very young still.1347Please respect copyright.PENANA78ioMTyV2R
1347Please respect copyright.PENANAPvFQBFgvRv

This medical nin would bring out the baby, holding it gently. She almost felt bad for the pain this child would have to endure. Almost.1347Please respect copyright.PENANASki9An3s6w

It was rather quick. Painless, even. Under her eye, a yin symbol appeared, half of the Taijitu. Perhaps this beast would bring balance.1347Please respect copyright.PENANAdl8kJhQBfl

Kakashi said nothing as he noticed that this child was his niece. He thought that perhaps it was fate, an awful fate but fate at that. He actually felt bad and didn't want this to happen to his family. But there was no other choice. This was the only choice.1347Please respect copyright.PENANAiN1T1nbahM
