-About time for you to be back, Kakashi! Tsunade said.
-Agree, Hokage-Sama, the copy-nin answered. Four long years since I departed... Everything, everyone changed.
-You didn’t, Tsunade answered with a smile. I’m sure Sakura’ll be happy to see you returned. Go ahead! She didn’t move.
Kakashi bowed and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

When Sakura’s door opened, Kakashi felt his heart beat faster. Was she still the girl he knew, or would she have grown up, mentally and physically? Would her eyes stay the ones, beautiful, bright and jade he knew, or would they be rougher because of the trials she would have suffered?
Suddenly she appeared. She was as beautiful as his memory, her eyes still soft and bright as before.
-Kakashi-Sensei! She said. I’m so glad to see you’re back!
The 22 years old jounin hugged her former sensei.
-You’ve been away so long! I... she started.
-Who’s that, mommy? A little voice asked.
Kakashi looked at Sakura’s door. A little girl was there, her blue-grey eyes looking at Kakashi, curious and timid at the same time.
-C’mere, honey, Sakura said with a smile.
The young girl made one step out of the house. Her hairs were pink as Sakura’s. She ran to Sakura. The jounin took her in her arms and faced Kakashi.
-Kakashi-Sensei, she’s my daughter, Amy, the young woman said.
Amy and Kakashi glanced at each other. There was something... something strange...
-What we say, Amy? Sakura said.
-Hi, Kakashi-San, she whispered shyly.
The jounin smiled. He immediately felt a link with this girl. She smiled too and shook his hand when he held it out to her.
At this moment, a butterfly passed between the jounin and the little girl. She gazed at it but seemed more bored about it than curious. All the girl of her age would be chasing that butterfly, but she just looked at it, seeming almost impatient to it to disappear.
A doubt made its way in Kakashi’s mind. These eyes... They were blue-grey... like his! And this kind of indifference about everything that would interest the ones of her age... it remembered him about himself when he was her age.
“No...” he thought, smiling. “And HOW would THIS happen?”
