New desires (Revised).

Hearing the sound of knocking outside the window, Yennefer prepared to recite a spell to protect herself, if necessary.

The day was extremely tiring for Yennefer, she was very stressed and with Kakashi in that state of health, she was very cautious about any possible threat that appeared.

"Yen, don't worry, I recognize our visitor."

Kakashi immediately detected the familiar chakra signature coming from outside the window.

The moment Yennefer received the information from Kakashi, she approached the window to open it and let the visitor enter.

A brown blur quickly passed by her, the moment Yennefer opened the window, and headed towards Kakashi.

"Kakashi, I'm glad you're okay."

"I was worried when the clone you left with us suddenly disappeared."

She said Pakkun, trying to sound as stoic as possible, but her tail was wagging from side to side happily. He delivered his real feelings.

Confused about what was happening. It took Yennefer a moment to understand that that strange voice was coming from the small dog, which was on top of Kakashi's body.

Even for her, an animal talking was something abnormal.

Yennefer didn't expect to have another surprise on that day, which was quite crazy.

Noticing Yennefer's expression of confusion, Kakashi introduced them.

"Yen, I present Pakkun, my invocation, it's like a contract that some sorceresses have with supernatural beings."

"But it's not something as dangerous as a pact with a demon or a magical being. The most I'll do is give you a little chakra."

With a tired mind. Yennefer decided to ignore her curiosity, she needed a good sleep, she would leave it for later.

However, Kakashi did not share this sentiment; he was restless, worried about the well-being of Julia's family.

"Pakkun, how are Julia and her family?"

Sitting comfortably in the armchair facing the bed, Pakkun began to talk about what had happened on the way to Rinde.

They arrived at this city without difficulty, the journey was calm and there was no danger along the way.

However, they faced some difficulties, most notably the sudden destruction of Kakashi's clone without any convincing justification.

At the moment this happened, Pakkun was worried about Kakashi's protection, but he was not the only one to experience this feeling, Julia's relatives also felt the same fear.

After such an incident, they intensified their journey, without taking the breaks for rest and food that were common when they could count on Kakashi's protective presence.

However, luckily, Pakkun was with them thanks to his incredible sense of smell, managing to avoid all possible dangers that could arise.

Upon arriving in the city, Julia and her family looked for Ilona's aunt, a woman named Karol who lived in a huge mansion located in the heart of the city.

Karol welcomed them with great cordiality, providing a space for the family to settle down and get back on their feet.

Showing the rooms available to accommodate the family, Karol introduced the other two residents of the residence.

Kinga stood out among them, with her blonde hair and green eyes. Pakkun notices Karol's strong fragrance mixed with Kinga's perfume, something that only usually happens between lovers.

Denis was Karol's husband, a tall and thin individual with brown hair, Pakkun did not notice any of Karol's odor on him and this left him perplexed by that peculiar situation.

However, Pakkun didn't care about this and chose not to investigate, as his main concern was with Kakashi.

After the introduction, it was time for a delicate conversation.

Ilona narrated to Karol the events that occurred in her village, including the tragic death of her husband, the crucial role of the child who saved them and the difficult journey they undertook to reach Rinde.

Karol comforted everyone when he heard their sad story, but something intrigued: the boy called Kakashi, who seemed to be missing.

Then, Karol questioned Kakashi's location, causing melancholy in the family once again.

They reported that he was missing and had no idea what could have happened to him.

Denis requests a report on Kakashi's appearance in order to communicate with the guards and request a search for his whereabouts.

Using his influence to motivate the guards, Denis was well known for being the doctor who takes care of the city's nobles and rich merchants.

Upon hearing the information about Kakashi's appearance. Karol and Denis exchanged looks, as they realized that the unique characteristics he possessed were similar to those of the boy they had helped treat at Beau's house.

All the details match, from the shade of his hair, to the large mark on his left eye and the age he showed, there were several similarities and were evidently unmistakable, which could not be someone different.

They reported to Julia's family that they met a boy with the same characteristics as Kakashi.

Since he was quite injured and was currently residing in the house of someone powerful, Julia's family wanted to check on him.

However, the two refused the request, as it was late and they were sure that Beau and the sorceress, the residents of that house, would not allow them to see the boy at that time.

The visit would have to take place after sunrise.

Pakkun, would not follow their words, aware of Kakashi's presence in the region, he went in search until he subtly detected the ninja's characteristic odor.

He followed the scent until he reached Yennefer's room.

After summarizing all the events, Pakkun looked at Kakashi seriously and revealed another matter of great importance.

"During the journey to Rinde, I came across something that made me suspicious. I found several strange marks that were lost in the forest."

"The footprints had a very peculiar odor, which complicated my brief investigation."

"My intuition tells me that something is very wrong with these traces, I believe it is something that deserves our attention."

Kakashi paid attention to the report, feeling relieved about his family's safety.

However, he also took Pakkun's warning seriously, as his companion's intuition was extremely accurate.

"Your conduct was quite cunning. Once I recover, we will investigate this together."

He was not a fan of waiting for problems to knock on his door. Kakashi sought to resolve problems quickly, before they became something even bigger.

"Kakashi! Are you seriously thinking about putting yourself at risk again?"

Yennefer spoke, not hiding her dissatisfaction in her voice.

"You haven't even fully recovered yet and you're already considering exposing yourself to danger once again."

With a face full of anger. Yennefer looked at Kakashi intensely, moving and looking into his eyes.

"Is it necessary that I need to isolate you in a hidden location? If you keep trying to kill yourself."

"This appears to be the only viable alternative to guarantee your safety."

Faced with Yennefer's outburst of anger, Kakashi felt that he would have to appease his mood.

"Yen, I'm sorry, that wasn't my intention. I guarantee you that I won't take any risks without a valid reason."

Yennefer found it challenging to trust Kakashi when it came to this matter; during their solitary adventures, he always seemed to invite trouble.

His ability to find threats everywhere was truly surprising. The number of assassination attempts against him was surprising.

Causing Yennefer some resistance to allowing him to go out alone, she believed it was necessary to be present to ensure his protection.

She was in a hurry to leave the city because she was with Kakashi and wanted to take him to a safe and charming place, away from any danger. Yennefer wanted to show him different and beautiful landscapes, without risking her life.

However, it was essential that she carry out a task in Rinde, Yennefer wanted to locate the Djin and formulate her wishes to him. She no longer looked for the possibility of becoming a mother.

Instead, Yennefer harbored new aspirations that she wanted to achieve.

Afraid of being left by Kakashi, Yennefer longed for the Djin to ensure that they would never be separated, they would always be close to each other.

And that they would always find a way to meet again, thus wanting to intertwine their paths.

The next request was to give Kakashi a vitality similar to that of Sorceresses. Yennefer did not want to lose him again, nor did she imagine what it would be like if old age or illness could separate them once again.

By the third wish, Yennefer still couldn't come to a decision.

She was undecided on what to choose, as she had many mixed feelings towards Kakashi. Furthermore, she was afraid of regretting it in the future.

In pursuit of her recent goals, she chose to remain in that region until she found the Djin, despite being hesitant to expose Kakashi to any danger.

Knowing that it would be unimaginable to face the obstacles of that fortress without his support, Yennefer made a decision with hesitation.

Yennefer realized that she would have to risk Kakashi's safety again. She was distressed by this choice.

But she admitted it was the only way to ensure the two could stay together forever.

When experiencing true affection, Yennefer did not want to separate from him, fearing that she would lose him or be rejected by him.

Even though she was aware of her possessive and egocentric characteristics, Yennefer did not back down, as she finally achieved what she was looking for and the joy it brought was indisputable.

She was determined not to let him escape, even if she had to resort to trickery to keep him by her side forever.

The argument ceased when the sun began to appear, Yennefer was not the type to be easily pacified, but this time it was difficult for Kakashi to calm her feelings.

She went downstairs to collect provisions for herself and Kakashi, also reserving a piece of meat for the dog.

After the meal, she began treating Kakashi once again. This time, the treatment was faster.

Kakashi was now able to move around, although with some difficulty, his body was still sore in several places.

Providing a set of basic clothing for Kakashi, Yennefer was preparing to go to the market to buy new clothes for Kakashi.

After completing the dressing process, Kakashi checked his belongings, including his silver blade and amulet that he had taken from the Witcher.

Furthermore, he made sure that his ninja equipment was intact after the large explosion that occurred.

To his relief, his bags were not affected by the explosion, after checking everything Kakashi was ready to explore the city with Yennefer.

They were preparing to go downstairs when they suddenly heard shouting coming from downstairs and ran to investigate its source.

Upon arrival, they noticed a couple of young adults, three armed guards, and an elderly man.

Upon seeing them, the couple immediately pointed the finger at Yennefer, and blamed her for their son's disappearance.

Two children had disappeared the day before without leaving any trace of their whereabouts.

Frustrated by the lack of responses from their leaders, the community began to cast suspicion on anyone they considered suspicious.

Yennefer, being a sorceress in a kingdom that despised sorceresses, became the main scapegoat for the kidnappings.

Several people started pointing fingers at her, but there was no concrete proof of her error until yesterday.

When she did, gossip spread throughout the city that she had taken a child covered in blood to her room. This gave them the justification they needed to act against her.

"You were that damn sorceress, who was kidnapping the children, to carry out evil experiments."

Determined to protect her from these accusations, Kakashi positioned himself in front of her.

When he tried to interfere and prevent the couple from making accusations against Yennefer, she acted faster.

"You better come prepared with evidence to back up your claims, or else this isn't going to end well for you. I've had enough of your senseless accusations."

She warned Yennefer, giving them a threatening look.

The pair weren't bothered by her behavior, they believed she wouldn't dare mess with them.

"They disappeared in the heart of the city without anyone noticing, this must have been done through witchcraft, and the only person capable of that here is her."

"Look at that young man, he is completely injured, I believe that witch used dark sorcery against him and inflicted pain on him until he reached that condition."

The pair gestured towards Kakashi, trying to use him as a means to blame Yennefer.

Kakashi refuted his story, however, his words fell on deaf ears, as they accused him of being under a spell cast by Yennefer to defend her.

The dispute did not stop there, as they persisted for a moment without either of them backing down. Kakashi understood that his future would be uncertain if the kidnapping cases were not solved. He and Yennefer might need to leave town.

Kakashi decided to investigate this case and bring the culprits to light.

The older gentleman and Beau managed to pacify everyone, ensuring that the conflict didn't last any longer than necessary.

After the couple left, Yennefer and Beau talked while Kakashi joined them.

Beau tried to interrupt Kakashi by mentioning that the discussion was for adults, but Yennefer intervened, stating that he was mature enough to understand such topics.

Yennefer introduced Kakashi to Beau.

She said that he would stay with her and they would live together, the conversation lasted a little longer until it ended and Yennefer went out with Kakashi to buy clothes.

Strolling through the urban streets, Kakashi begins to notice the lack of progress in this society compared to his own.

Upon examining his surroundings, he realized that the technological advancements and social progress in this world were quite primitive.

The streets emitted unpleasant odors and were littered with human waste.

Additionally, individuals were seen handling food with visibly dirty hands. Something that would be unacceptable in his world.

Throughout his journey with Julia's relatives, he discovered that the personal hygiene practices of the inhabitants of this world were seriously deficient.

It seemed that they were oblivious to the multitude of diseases and infections that poor hygiene could cause.

It became imperative for him to persuade them of the importance of daily bathing and the need to wash their hands before every meal.

Yennefer accompanied him on the way to the local merchant's residence, which was frequented by the city's wealthiest residents in search of clothes and accessories.

Although there was no shortage of qualified tailors in the city, she didn't like the local clothes and preferred to buy from this merchant who imported luxurious and elegant clothes from the big cities.

His fabric quality was superior, and he was known for using enchanted needles to make precise alterations when necessary.

When they were walking around the city, Kakashi noticed that they both stood out in the places they visited.

For the streets were dirty and most of the pedestrians wore shabby and old clothes, and they were clean and well-groomed.

An attractive adult woman dressed in black attire with white details, happily chatting with a young boy also dressed in black.

The young man was covered in bandages from head to toe, hiding his arms, legs and neck, his left eye and mouth.

This obscured most of his features, leaving much to the imagination of viewers, although the visible parts suggested he was particularly handsome.

They were like an attraction in the city, which Yennefer also didn't know about.

While heading to the central market, Yennefer and Kakashi strolled through certain places that didn't meet Yennefer's standards.

Despite this, she enjoyed the walk because of the charming company she was in.

Anywhere was great as long as she was with Kakashi, their companionship being the paramount aspect. In the realm of illusion, they had a custom of exploring the city together on foot.

Wherever they traveled, the pair continually explored local vendors and sampled the diverse cuisines each city had to offer.

Although most of the food didn't suit her taste buds, she surprisingly enjoyed embarking on new culinary adventures with him.

To Yennefer, this seemed strange, since since she had become a great sorceress, she was no longer interested in these common places or foods.

His interaction with common people was minimal, his social coexistence took place mainly with nobles and sorceresses.

Therefore, she would never have imagined that she would experience the taste of commoners' food.

But that changed after yesterday, memories of her with Kakashi showed her pleasure in little things like that.

Kakashi didn't appreciate the strict rules of social gatherings in this world.

Although he could easily adapt to noble etiquette, he found the conversations dull and insincere. Recognizing this, he limited his interactions with the nobility to a minimum.

Yennefer was aware that if she requested him, Kakashi would participate in fancy events even though he didn't like the environment and the company there, he would do it to make her happy.

For this reason she felt that she had to reciprocate by doing things he liked to please him. Since he did so much for her without complaining.

She never imagined that she would engage in activities that didn't bring her joy, especially just to make someone else happy. She had never felt obligated to act this way before.

But with Kakashi it was different.

The moment she left the house to walk to the place. Yennefer believed that she would not enjoy visiting the city, but she discovered that she was wrong.

Even with the bad smell and view of the city, the right company improved everything. That even situations she couldn't bear became pleasant for her.

Yennefer has always prioritized her own fun without considering others around her.

However, for the first time, she found herself willing to perform mundane activities just to see someone she cared about happy and having fun.

It was a strange but delightful feeling for her as she couldn't explain it, but she truly took pleasure in bringing joy to that person.

As they walked to the merchant, the pair looked at the vendors scattered around the area. Despite the lack of attractive items, they decided to look around before proceeding.

Those who knew Yennefer would be shocked to witness her carefree behavior, as it was quite different from her usual behavior.

In that moment, she was authentically playful and having fun with another person, displaying her true self without any pretense.

Kakashi noticed some attentive looks at him and Yennefer, he then discreetly observed the people those looks belonged to.

To his surprise it was some local guards.

He saw two types of feelings in the guards' eyes, one was surprise and the other was greed.

One was surprised by Yennefer, as she was a very beautiful woman.

But the other was looking at him, it confused him, it was the look someone would give a valuable object.

Throughout the walk to the main market, Kakashi noticed that the man kept looking at him without looking away, as if he was anticipating the perfect moment to approach.

However, with Yennefer beside him, the man was unable to make any moves; he seemed to be waiting for the right opportunity.

Recognizing the circumstances, Kakashi had a strong doubt as to why this guard showed interest in him.

He considered two potential reasons: first, that the guard might seek revenge against Yennefer and, without the power to do so directly, intended to harm her by targeting Kakashi.

The second was that the guard had strange desires for boys, and that honestly disgusted him.

Kakashi wasn't sure which of the two options it was, but today he would secretly investigate without Yennefer's knowledge.

Since this guard could be a sexual predator, and Kakashi didn't want to accuse anyone and end up destroying an innocent person's life.

He was afraid that she would reprimand him for putting himself in danger unnecessarily and was aware that sharing his plan with her would not produce the desired result.

Believing that she would eliminate the guard without hesitation if she had the slightest suspicion that he was after him, for this reason Kakashi could not risk it.

Yennefer wouldn't risk leaving someone alive who put her safety at risk, and Kakashi knew that.

Putting that idea aside, Kakashi already recorded the guard's smell and appearance in his mind, he would go after him when he had the chance.

So he decided to enjoy this day, he was completely absorbed in enjoying his time with Yennefer and keeping an eye on the guard.

He was so absorbed that he couldn't see the girl running towards her, who then threw herself into his embrace with such force that he almost fell.

His initial reflex was to react, but he quickly recognized the scent and fiery red hair of the individual who hugged him, causing him to stop his defensive response.

Witnessing Kakashi alive and well, Julia found herself unable to contain her emotions and hugged him as if it were a matter of life and death, with tears streaming down her face like a waterfall.

However, unlike the tears shed 12 days earlier, these tears were filled with pure joy at the assurance that a precious person was safe.

"Julia, I missed you too, and I don't intend to end this touching reunion abruptly, but I'm still covered in bruises and your tight hug could reopen the wounds."

Kakashi said with a hint of amusement.

Julia, upon hearing this, regained her composure and promptly released him before apologizing to Kakashi.

"It's okay, there's no need to apologize. Just hug me more gently, it'll be okay."

Embarrassed by her actions upon noticing the looks of her family's connoisseurs, that's why she refrained from hugging him again.

Júlia's family approached and welcomed him warmly, feeling calm after assessing her well-being.

They didn't intend to disturb Yennefer's moment of joy, but they ended up doing so and started to ignore her.

If this had happened in the past, Yennefer would have publicly reprimanded them. However, after spending time with Kakashi, she didn't want to treat people precious to him badly.

Despite feeling upset at the interruption to her enjoyable time with Kakashi, she chose to remain composed and not voice her frustrations.

Kakashi knew how she was, he knew that Yennefer was very jealous and possessive of him, so he was grateful that she hadn't been rude to them.

In the past, she wouldn't hold back and would say what she was thinking, no matter who it was to.

For a while, he tried to change her mindset, but to no avail.

She was incredibly stubborn, and once she set her mind to something, not even he could dissuade her.

Kakashi knew he would need to make it up to her later.

On this occasion Yennefer managed to hide her jealousy and discontent from public view.

To calm her down, he gently held her hand, giving a small smile as he looked at her.

Even though her face was hidden behind a mask, Yennefer could still feel her emotions and returned the smile to Kakashi.

This behavior helped to reduce some of the jealousy and dissatisfaction she felt at that moment.

Kakashi introduced them as companions he rescued and who traveled to this city as a group, and introduced Yennefer as his relative.

Julia's relatives introduced Karol and Kinga, who was described as an elf who lived with them.

They mentioned that they would stay with Karol and Kinga temporarily until they found their own place. Karol invited Kakashi to visit them in the future.

Kakashi chose not to welcome them into his home, lacking the necessary permission and wanting to avoid any problems for Yennefer.

Noticing that the guard was still following him. Kakashi felt he couldn't delay his investigation, this was the only way he could relax about this guard.
