Disclaimer: Of course, I still do not own Naruto.
Explanations For the Ridiculous Impossibilities: Yeah, anyone can figure out by now that the main character is just a plain Mary- Sue(at first sight). But what crime is that? A very bad one I suppose =). Hehe. Anyway, about timelines. Of age and all. I believe I got the ages all right, Naruto is three because of his birthday, being in a later date from the other fictions/fansites that I read. So if you were wondering why he wasn't four, then that is why. I admit, there are ages in the fic that are incorrect, I apologise greatly. But since it is a fanfiction, it is merely fake. A couple of small changes will not affect the Anime or manga in anyway. Sorry about Natsuki being all, "I am a perfect kid at age 8 and I am too damn smart for my own good." I must say, Kakashi was way smarter when he was younger. If people don't have a problem with Kakashi being Mr. Perfect, then I think Natsuki, a fictional character, should be given some slack too. And to explain Natuski for acting so mature at age eight, at times when a child is left with almost nothing at such a young age, some children tend to mature in the mind in order to live life. When mom and dad aren't there, you're going to have to learn by yourself. And please, even if I do portray my character to be so perfect, don't think that I am conceited like that too, that's just messed up =P, I don't think of my writing skills professional, I know a lot more people who will remain better writers than I'll ever be, but that is why I am here, to improve, not to be insulted. Haha, anyhow continuing on with my poor writing qualities, forgive me for my sucky Japanese. I will throw some words here or there, just to keep it in a Naruto feeling. I'll keep using the '-chans, -kuns, -senseis, -sans, etc'. I find it odd to address people, Miss Sakura, Teacher Kakashi(Master Kakashi is fine), My close male, friend Sasuke, and such. I'm sure some of you know what I'm talking about...
Readers: *Silent*
...Well then, I guess not ^^;. Anyhow, thanks you guys for being concerned and reading this LONG explanation. And no worries, Natsuki won't be perfect through the whole way. I refuse to make her truly perfect. As you see, not all will fall for her and so forth...But(Oh gosh the horrid word)! If it comes to the point where it looks like readers comes to the point of extreme unsatisfactory, then I will simply just...Uhh...Cancel the story =) But I won't give up just yet. I'll try harder.
"Gomen Sakura- chan! I guess I missed!" he laughs anxiously as I groan in annoyance, "Geez, how much clothes does Kakashi- sensei have laying around..." I hear Naruto mumble as he threw a pair of black pants into the bag I was holding, not missing the target this time.
"Too much..." I look at where the heavenly, low voice had come from, Sasuke. His dark onyx eyes were looking at a dirty navy blue shirt that was laying on the ground at his feet, that earned a disgusted look. "This mission is a nuisance, we are cleaning up after Kakashi, while the lazy ass sits in his bedroom reading his book, ditching his task in cleaning his own room." My pupils grow smaller hearing those words.
"That lazy bastard! How dare he lets us do the dirty work!" I screamed, bolting up from the littered floor. I hate this mission with all my heart and soul. And to think our sensei was going to do something helpful for once, but alas I had thought wrong. I was about to go kick some lazy sensei ass! Just because it is his home doesn't mean he is allowed to do to be lazy ass! A mission is a mission, no matter where the place may be! Besides, before Natsuki- san had left for the groceries, she has specifically told Kakashi- sensei to clean up his room!
"YOU SHOULD KICK HIS ASS! HELL YEAH!" (Inner Sakura)
My fist clenched, and I gritted my teeth as I glare at the closed door of my teacher's room. He was going to pay. "Ano sa! Sakura- chan. Calm down..." I look over at Naruto, my eyes felt as if they were burning with much desire to clobber my sensei!...What the...was Naruto being calm? "If you seriously want Kaka-sensei to get into trouble, we should wait till Natuski- chan gets home." For a minute, I felt like a fool. And in front of Sasuke- kun...How embarassing. I feel Sasuke's dark eyes on me and Naruto, just as surprised than I was at Naruto's attitude. What happened to him? Not that I mind the usual hyperactive boy was serene now, but he has changed all of the sudden, eversince....Natsuki- san...
"Ah, yeah...Sorry. Thanks Naruto, I should try to keep calm." a chuckle from Naruto, then he continued rummaging through the trash. I feel blood rush to my cheeks from embarassment. Even though Sasuke- kun wasn't looking over here any longer, I still felt stupid.. GAH! Stupid Naruto! Deciding to kind of break the awkwardness that I had with Sasuke, I asked him in a lighter, gentler tone "Sasuke- kun, do you need any help?" with a glance Sasuke simply responded no. I sigh in disappointment as my face falls. What was I doing wrong? Why must he be so...Cold. What bothered me extremely about this answer was he used the exact same tone, saying the exact same 'no' when he rejected me on the numerous occassions I had asked him out on dates. I sigh quietly to myself, Sasuke still had no interest in me...in anything for that matter. My face scrunched up in anger as I tossed all of Sensei's stuff that were in sight in the bag. I couldn't wait to get home and be alone from the cruel world. Bah! Ino-pig probably has it better off being without Sasuke, avoiding so much pain. I kept shoving random things, yes some of those things weren't clothes, inside the black bag until--"Ouch!" I pull my hand away quickly from the object I was about to dispose of. Sasuke and Naruto rushed to my side, alarmed.
"Sakura- chan! You all right?! Did you stab your hand with a kunai? Or a shuriken?!" Naruto asks, seeing that I was holding my hand in pain. Sasuke examined my hand from my back, then relaxed from his tensed state.
"She didn't do much damage to her hand, she'll get a bruise. Nothing more." my face blushed to a deep red. Again, I was ashamed, how can I be so...Dumb?! Did Naruto trade places with me?! Mad, I pick up the stupid object that had the nerve to stab me, a book. Great. It better not be one of Sensei's pervert books...I am really not in the mood to deal with idiocy right now. "What is that?" Sasuke, asks. Wow. He's curious. Naruto and I blink at the plain, blue book. Wait a minute...Those perv books would have some weird cover on it...A blank blue book cover? Impossible for Jiraiya- sama to be so bland, especially on his Icha Icha series.
I place the book in my lap, then opened it slowly, to be greeted by dust...and photos. "Photo album?" Naruto nods, looking closely at the four pictures on the first two pages. I laugh as I saw a familiar silver haired boy. Our sensei I presumed in his younger years. "Look guys, Kakashi- sensei when he was our age!" Naruto and Sasuke closely examine the picutre of our sensei, who was sitting on a rock looking ever so bored. He had a dark blue outfit on, two brown sashes crossing over his chest, a sheathed katana on his back, mask still there, and his eyes were both the dark hazel of his revealed eye today.
Naruto starts busting up into fits of laughter, "He still looks the same! Like a tired old geezer!" Sasuke smirks, agreeing with Naruto's insult. I disagreed with the two, I think Sensei was pretty good looking at that age...Not to be gross. But he was our age( No Sakura/Kakashi). I turn the next page and the picture that had caught our interest was a small girl that was seated in, who seemed to be our sensei's, lap. Of course Kakashi- sensei was older in this picture. It looked as if he was smiling under his mask. And the girl...She looked quite familiar as well.... "Natsuki- chan?" Naruto whispers, souding surprised. I looked back at the picture and nodded at Naruto's examination.
"Yeah..I can't believe I didn't notice sooner. Blue eyes, wide grin, pale complexion. Any idiot could've told the difference!" I examined the picture more closely, something looked extremely odd. My forehead wrinkled as I try to figure out what exactly was wrong...
"Hey...you guys. Kakashi- sensei looks like he can be Natsuki- chan's older brother!" I blink. So that's what was wrong. I started to giggle at the comment, now I knew why it looked funny. Isn't Sensei and Natsuki the same age? I look back down at the album in my lap, they definitely didn't look the same age at all in there.
"You moron, that's because Kakashi is older than her." Obviously. Sasuke was looking at the picture as well while Naruto was yelling insults at him at the top of his lungs. When I was finished being annnoyed and yelling at Naruto, we all sat down on the trashed couch and looked through the book of memories. There was a bunch of pictures of Kakashi, Natsuki, a blonde haired man(that sorta reminded me of Naruto), and Iruka- sensei. There were other older pictures of what we thought was Sensei's old team mates.
"Wow," Naruto whispers, enchanted by the pictures and memories our sensei had. I shut the book softly, now holding it with more caution as if it was touched any more rough all the memories would shatter. We all sat in silence, deep in our own thoughts, probably all thinking the same: Sensei had it all, he had everything we had. But now, they're all gone. I hear someone get up from the couch after a long moment, "Let's finish cleaning." Naruto says quietly, walking back to his corner of trash. Without protests or any words at all, Sasuke and I stood up and we all began to clean up the room contently.
------------------------------------------------------------ ---
"I hate shopping..." I mumbled grimly to myself, I placed the grocery bags down carefully as I started to dig through my pockets for my keys. I had just returned from the cursed places called supermarkets. Things had changed eversince ten years ago, when Kakashi- san or Iruka- san went shopping groceries with me, it was less crowded...except the times with Kakashi, girls would run up to him and all that stuff, anyhow. It was just now..more crowded. It was hard to get the stuff you needed, I had to at least go to 5 different grocery places to get the items that I wanted. My was it troublesome.
I sighed in relief, finding the key to the apartment, I pulled the warm metal out of my pocket and unlocked the door. The door lightly creaks open and to my surprise, I was warmly greeted by three teenagers. Why warmly? Well...THEY CLEANED THE LIVING ROOM THAT WAS ONCE WAS A CHAOTIC DUMP! That's why. I dropped the bags of groceries with a loud thud! and stared in complete astonishment at the extremely tidy home. Wow. My eyes roam around the room, seeing every corner clean, the couches were spotless, it smelled decent, and everything was placed in it's correct location. Everything was neat except the middle of the living room, which had three exhausted teenagers resting on the vacuumed carpet, admiring their work. "Eh, you guys actually did what I didn't think was possible," I walk over to the young shinobis, leaving the brown bags of food behind. "Marvelous work you three! You completed your C Mission, Hokage- sama will hear much great things about you!" I grin widely at the proud ninjas. "Yes, yes. You are truly good ninjas. I am so impressed!" again I stared at the cleansed roon in delight.
Then a little voice disrupts my radiant feeling, "But Natsuki- san, cleaning the apartment was not all that hard. All you needed was patience and devotion." Sakura forms a sweat drop at her temple as she speaks softly to me, I could hear Naruto chuckling and Sasuke smirking. I scratch the back of my head, laughing nervously.
"Nonsense! I think you all did a great job at taking on this challenge and winning it." They all look at me with a doubtful facial cast, they were not convinced.
Naruto snickers at my now blushing face as I desperately try to think of another compliment or excuse. "Ehhhh! Maybe Natsuki- chan won't admit she's lazy!" a hearty laugh, "And she makes us do the dirty work!" Sakura giggles helplessly, putting her hand over her mouth as she trembles with gleeful fits. Sasuke couldn't help but let out a small chuckle while Naruto accused me of being so inactive...while smiling. "You and Sensei shouldn't live together! You both are lazy! We are going to be here weekly if you continue to house under the same roof!" A burst of laughter eruptted after Naruto had finished. Did these kids love to see me succumb to the truth in a ridiculous manner? I blushed. Okay, so I am lazy. I never use to be...well after being with a lazy person(she isn't so lazy now after taking the job as Hokage) for ten years, Tsunade- sensei'a habits has rubbed off me immensely, almost everything except gambling. All of them continued to laugh, except Sasuke who now merely smirked, I couldn't help but feel a tug at my lips...alright, so it's a tiny bit funny.
After sharing the giggles with Team 7, I decided to break it up before Sasuke(who already stopped smiling) went insane from the amount of laughing, I didn't think he could handle all the happy feelings and I was getting tired of the constant insults I was receiving. "All right kiddies, break it up. Now that we have seen how well you all have done," I ignored a stifled giggle from Naruto, "Let us see just how Sensei is doing."
The kids got up from where they sat then followed me as I lead them down the small, skinny hallway and stopped in front of Kakashi's room. His door was closed shut, it was silent inside. I lifted my hand up to open the door, "Ano sa, Natsuki- chan?" My hand stops midway, I look down at Naruto, who stood to my left with furrowed brows, his blue eyes looking doubtful. I asked him what was wrong, "Well..."
Sakura, who seemed as if she understood what was going on, butted in, "Natsuki- san, what if Kakashi- sensei is busy?" I arch a brow, my lips curling downward.
"Busy? With what? Sleeping? It is so quiet in there, I would think he was sleeping. That lazy old fart." With that nice affront, I opened the door, ignoring the other two's protests. And to my horror I found........Nothing. The one eyed Jounin was nowhere to be found, and surprisingly the room was very clean. The papers on his desk were placed neatly in stacks, clothes were in the draws, and his bed that was cleared off too except for the sheets and pillows, was made very nicely. I smirk, placing my hands on my hips, "He isn't that lazy, I guess." I admitted quite amused, the other three were quite surprised at how neat the room looked now, when they had seen it earlier it was WAY worse than the living room's conditions. It was disgusting. But now all of the sudden, everything looked perfectly clean. "He did a nice job as well.." I stepped inside the non littered room, examining every little clean spot in his room. Hell, he could probably beat me in having the cleanest room in the house(well to be honest he would beat me, eversince I have gotten back my room has looked a little unpleasent itself).
"But, where is Kakashi- sensei?" I hear Sakura and the others follow behind me, taking a look at the amazing sight. I shrug, my head turns to look at his opened window, white curtains flowing gracefully in the breeze that had entered the room. "Jeez, couldn't he just went out through the front door?" Sakura says with a tone of annoyance, I agreed. Didn't have to be so fancy and go through the window.
But I couldn't let him be thought as a dumbass old sensei, I had to defend my friend. "I think it had to be a good reason if he had to use the window. What a great shinobi for trusting his skills." A snort was heard from behind me, I am gonna say that was Sasuke, The two other team mates only stayed quiet, knowing well enough I was just giving them lame excuses, but were too considerate to make a fool of me so they stayed quiet. "Oh well, Kakashi will just have to hope he gets back in time for dinner." I say, clearly pushing the subject aside.
Six pairs of eyes lit up with happiness as I said the word 'dinner'. "YAY, NATUSKI- CHAN IS GOING TO MAKE US DINNER!" Naruto yells, hopping around still energetic, wish I had as much stamina as he did....And I wish I knew how to-- "What are you going to make for us to eat Natsuki- chan?!" crystal blue eyes stared at me with much eagerness, I felt a hand grasping my right sleeve. It reminded me of a homeless child that was just told that I could give him come cookies.
"Uh..." And I wish I knew what to say.
---------------------------------------------------------------
"Uh..."
I looked at Natsuki- chan's face, she wasn't smiling. It was more like she was sad...but kind of not, you know like those times when you are at a ramen bar and you don't have the money to pay for your meal, you know...nervous and she was fumbling with her fingers like Hinata did, weird. But I don't know why Natsuki- chan had to look so nervous. All I asked her was what she was going to cook.
"...Natsuki- san?" Sakura- chan pulled me away from Natsuki- chan as she begins to look away from us, placing a hand behind her head. We all exchanged looks, all was quiet when we waited for Natsuki- chan to answer us, but she went on rubbing the back of her head. Does her head hurt?
For a couple more minutes without any word, Sasuke- bastard said something, "Do you even know how to cook?"
I looked at everyone's faces, Sasuke was...a bastard's face. Sakura- chan...her mouth was open a little and her eyes got bigger. And Natsuki- chan...she was laughing.
"Hahahahahaha....I uhhh...Well," we all stood there, was she okay? "..."
Silence.
"You guys don't happen to know how to cook do you?"
---------------------------------------------------------------
An d that is what happened. Yup, yup. We were all surprised that Natsuki- chan didn't know how to cook, she said she had forgotten how to because she never cooked anymore. But I don't know, she just might be lying and is lazy. It's okay though...
"Natsuki- chan, where do you want these papers to be?"
Because instead of cooking, Natsuki- chan and I got to be together and clean! I was happy to be around Natsuki- chan, since she didn't know how to cook and Sakura and Sasuke- bastard knew how, we went to clean up her room. Which was almost as dirty as the living room.
She turns away from the piling trash canister and looked at the papers I held out to her in my hand. "Ah, here. Let me throw them away." I nodded happily and gave the papers to her, as I gave her the papers, I could feel her cool hands touch my own warm hands lightly, I feel my face go warm. It seemed to do that everytime she took stuff away from me to go throw away, I don't think she notices it though. She smiles at me in thanks and shoves the white papers into the trash. "Thanks so much Naruto for helping me clean up my room... I didn't have the time to do it. Most of the things I were doing was visiting Hokage- sama to do paperworks and such for living here." I understood and nodded, she must've been busy to have such a messy room...Just like me. "I don't think this room would look as decent as it is now if you Naruto hadn't came and blessed my room with your good intent to help me."
"Eh, it's nothing Natsuki- chan!" I say, feeling proud that she had praised me so highly with such a big smile. "I'll help you out anytime you want!" I grin back at her, I really meant those words. We had spent two hours at least with each other cleaning up and stuff, I really had fun being with her. I wasn't all jittery and weird acting around her anymore..not as much as before. I was comfortable with Natsuki- chan after awhile, I coudl talk to her normal now and act normal again. She didn't look like she seemed to care but she did look happy.
I feel a hand being placed on top of my head, ruffling my hair. "I'll remember that. You're a sweet kid Naruto- kun. All the ladies will be chasing after you when you get around your older years." 'Ah...I wish I was around my older ages now.' I thought sourly to myself. "Now why such a glum face?" I feel her hand remove itself away from my head, I frown even more. She saw it too.
Quickly I said, "It's nothing! I was just thinking...hehehe..." I chuckle nervously, she didn't looked too convinced at first, but ignored it and stood up. I watch her as she walked to the window with a calmed expression and looked out at the colorful buildings and bustling citizens that were returning to their homes. A smile.
She gazed at the usual scene of Konoha for a long time before she turned back to look at me, her gentle pale blue eyes looked familiar against the setting sun's light. I stare at her, she was a pretty lady, a very pretty lady. Wait, pretty ladies meant..."Natsuki- chan?" she tilts her head, looking at me thoughtfully. "I have noticed a lot of pretty girls have boyfriends, do you?" I asked carelessly. For a moment it was quiet, then a burst of laughter had eruptted from the lady. I was confused, I had done a lot of funny things in my life but I didn't mean for the question to be funny...
She laughs heartily until tears of happiness streamed down from her eyes then took a breath trying to calm herself down and wiped away her tears. Smiling very widely now she exclaims, "Naruto- kun! You are funny. But you must be mistaken, Me, boyfriend? Pretty? Oh no, no, no..You are very mistakened." she patted me on the head again as I tried to object. "Naruto, really. I have seen better," a shake of her head. "But it was very kind of you to say...And no I do not have a boyfriend. I have friends that are boys...and that is about it." she faintly laughs, my forehead scrunches up in disbelieve...Really, did she have to protest so strongly against it? Before I could say anything more Sakura- chan had called us to dinner.
---------------------------------------------------------------
The kids and I all sat at the small dinner table eating tempura and rice. A plain meal, but it was better than nothing, besides, it tasted good! "Good job on the tempura Sakura-chan!" Naruto shouts in delight as he takes another piece of shrimp. I nodded my head in agreement, taking another bite of the delicious prawn. Mm...
Sakura chuckles nervously, blushing. "Well, I didn't make it," Naruto and I looked over at the faded pink hair girl with a questioning look. "Sasuke- kun did."
"ACK! ACK! ACK!" Naruto beated on his chest, trying to ease the choking. We all stare at the frightened blonde haired boy thump at his chest, "P-Poisin!" was all he had shouted out before he had ran to the washroom. It was quiet as we all sat at the dinner table, the only noise that can be heard was Naruto's disgusted coughs and spitting. Really, I think he was overreacting about the whole Sasuke thing...I for one think he did a fine job.
I laugh slightly, then averted my attention back to dear Sakura and Sasuke, both looked embarassed at their teammate's actions. "Oh don't worry about that silly boy, you did a very fine job on the tempura Sasuke- kun, and you as well Sakura- chan...whatever you partook of it." Sasuke, I am guessing in his way of saying your welcome, grunted and continued to eat his dinner. Sakura smiled politely as well and went on with her meal too. When Naruto had finished with his 'vomitting' he returned to the dinner table with a grossed out expression, I giggled to myself softly, this kid was funny. "How are you feeling now Naruto- kun? The poisin, has it left your system?" my tone of the question had nearly sounded as if I was teasing, Naruto had not noticed.
Naruto gave a glare at Sasuke and then nodded at me, "Yeah, I was lucky enough to get it out..." a glare from Sasuke. "I will just stick with my rice for now." Sakura has also glared at Naruto for insulting her crush's cooking, of course it was ignored. And we all continued to eat, until a close of a door had sounded through the quiet apartment. All of us exchanged looks, then dashed off to different parts of the house, hiding stealthily.
The unknown guest, guessing they were ninja, walked to the rooms. From the distance of the chakra I had felt, they had went to my room then Kakashi's room. They stayed idle in the hallway after the second bedroom then proceeded to the kitchen...Our hiding place. I pulled out my chopsticks that I had taken from dinner...it will have to do well as a weapon for now. I was hiding quietly under the table, the others were around the kitchen too. The figure neared the table, their feet had ninja sandals on. I was correct about them being ninja...The person stood there, I am guessing staring at the food. Their right hand, that was once on their side, had disappeared from my sight--OH NO THE TEMPURA! Before I was going to jab at the little theif with my useless chopsticks, there was a loud battle cry. The figure spun around and was tackled to the ground. THUD!
"ARGH! DON'T YOU TOUCH OUR DINNER YOU--Kakashi- sensei?" from under the table, I had saw the scene of Naruto sitting on his teacher, as Kakashi gives him a little annoyed look. "Ano! Sorry Kakashi- sensei..." Naruto quickly apologises and helps his sensei up from the hard, tiled floor.
"It's fine Naruto...Just don't attack me next time in my home. We have to work on your skills to know who your enemy, if they are even an enemy, is." Kakashi brushed the dust off himself, giving a disapporving look at his slightly dusty clothes. "And why are you all hiding? Come out." with that, I had crawled out from under the table, Sasuke jumped out from the cupboard, dusting himself off and Sakura left her spot from under the sink with a look of disgust. "...I did not expect to be greeted by an ambush." Kakashi says with a tint of amusement in his voice, not mad anymore.
Naruto and Sakura laughs, rubbing the back of their necks, while Sasuke and I stayed expressionless. "Where did you go?" I ask, taking a seat at the table again, continuing to eat. The kids do the same.
"Ah yeah. I had to attend to something important..." he trails off his sentence, unsure about something. Hm...
Sakura finally spoke, curious to where her teacher had left to. "Was it a Jounin meeting?" a mumbled no was her reply, Kakashi avoided eye contact.
What could have been so important as to jump out the window? "Not a Jounin meeting?! Was it a mission!?" Naruto hops out of his seat, excitement filled his deep sapphire eyes. Again, the Jounin shakes his head. All of us had stayed quiet, thinking of what important thing he had to attend to...if it wasn't a meeting, or a mission, then what?
"Was..." all heads turn in my direction, "Was it a date?!" Naruto's, Sasuke's and Sakura's heads darted at Kakashi who only chuckled at my explanation.
"No, no...Something more important." this was killing us, what could it be? "Well, if you guys are so desperate to know..." we watch Kakashi intently as he slowly reaches for his kunai pouch and pull out an orange book. He lifted the book and showed it to us, it's yellow cover almost blinding us. There was a drawing of two people hugging, a man and a woman, on the front. This book was called Icha Icha Paradise: Volume 11. "The new volume came out today, and the bookstore was having a sale...The author was signing autographs too!" he flipped to the cover page, where we saw red scribbled writing, Jiraiya. Our faces paled...that was the important thing? "I almost forgot about it, good thing I found my calendar for this year under my bed, or else it would've slipped."
"YOU IDIOT!" Kakashi had earned a smack behind the head, and oh did it hurt...
He grabbed his pained head, "Ouch! Natsuki- chan! That hurt!" he rubbed it, glaring at me.
I glare back at him, "It was suppose to hurt. You deserve it too! Going off like that for some PERVERT book."
"It's not just some pervert book. It's a really beautiful pervert book."
SMACK!
------------------------------------------------ ---------------
After more slapping around and yelling, the shinobis continued to eat their dinner. "Ah, I almost forgot," Kakashi puts down his clean bowl and chopstick, everyone else stares at the empty bowl in horror, they didn't even see him eat! "Before I was attacked in the kitchen, I looked around and I must say you all did a great job. I haven't seen the apartment this clean eversince ten years ago..." his revealed eye lazily makes it's way to look at Natsuki, who was smiling slightly at him. He was right, the place hasn't been so clean eversince Natsuki had left. "I'll collect our money for this mission tomorrow."
"Kakashi- sensei, don't we have a mission tomorrow as well?" Sakura, who was done with her dinner and was now cleaning up everyone's empty dishes, questioned her teacher. Her teacher merely shakes his head, "Then what are we going to be doing?"
"Training, Sakura. We haven't done it for the past few days," Sakura smiles and nodded, but mentally frowns. Training was not her favorite thing to do, it was tiring. She wasn't use to so much...action. She couldn't handle it, her stamina was not as high as Naruto's, she was not as fast as Sasuke, and she wasn't as strong as neither of them. She sighs, another wasted day tomorrow will be. "Natsuki- chan, are you planning on doing anything tomorrow?" the teenagers looked over at the bored looking blue eyed lady, who had been quiet eversince the attacks on Kakashi.
"I don't believe--"
She was cut halfway through her sentence by a grinning Jounin."Good, you will come with us tomorrow to do some training. I need some help you know." Natsuki twitches, 'Who does he think he is? ' Kakashi sees the look of confusion on your face and then adds in, "..Unless you don't want to," The woman was about to say 'No, have other things to do.' if she wasn't interuptted by two, extremely adorable people, Naruto and Sakura.
"Pleeeeeeease Natsuki- chan!?" she sighs, Sakura and Naruto were both holding their hands together and were on their knees begging her, they really wanted her to come...Sakura, because she was a fellow female that can understand her hardships in training and Naruto because he had a crush on her. She reluctantly look down at the two genins, how could she say no to them? They had their puppy eyes and quivering frowns...again Natsuki heaved out a sigh and then nodded in acceptance.
Before anyone could blink the two that were once on their knees heartbroken, had quickly recovered and were now smiling widely and were sitting in their seats. Natsuki face falls at how gullable she was.
Then Kakashi speaks in his monotonous voice, eye curved from smiling. "Great then. All of us should meet at..." he pauses in his sentence as he taps on his masked chin, thinking of a time. "Let's say 11:00 AM? At the same ol' training spot." his pupils agreed to the scheduled time with a nod, then a mumble from a certain loud-mouthed boy about their sensei always being late, it was ignored of course.
"I'm leaving then," Sasuke gets up from his seat, pushes the chair in(what a gentleman eh?) and walks to the door. "I don't want to waste energy here if we're gonna train."
"Yeah! Sasuke-kun, you're so smart," and dear Haruno Sakura follows after the heart throb, "Thank you Natsuki- san for having us over for dinner."
Natsuki shakes her head, "No, no...I should thank you, for cooking and cleaning the apartment."
"Oh no, it was nothing," Sakura says, waving the subject off quickly, trying to catch up with Sasuke. "Sasuke-kun, can I walk home with you?" a grunt was heard as they left.
"Oi! OI! Wait up you guuuuuuuuysssss!" Naruto bolts out of his seat, darting for the door, but before leaving he quickly bows to Natsuki while thanking her in a very fast pace.
"No problem at all Naruto, thanks for earlier." Naruto beams at the older girl, a light blush came to his face. He then realizes his comrades footsteps getting more distant.
"AH! WAIT YOU GUYS! Bye Natsuki- chan, Kakashi- sensei!" the exhausted Natsuki and Kakashi bid the young, hyper boy farewell. Natsuki sighs, just thinking what madness might happen tomorrow.

I look up at the clock that hung on the wall above his bed, 11:15 AM, oh great. I have been doing this horrible task for 30 minutes. And he still hasn't woken up! I glare at Kakashi as he snuggles closer to his pillow, mumbling something from under his mask. 'Talks in his sleep too.' What to do next? Thirty minutes of useless attempts and still he hasn't woken.
I take a seat on his bed, tapping my bottom lip as I thought of a fast way to wake the Jounin. Then it hit me.
I hopped up on his bed and walked to the little shelf that was above his head, my eyes scan for the book of my destination. 'How to be a Hip Ninja...Konoha's History...Learn How to Take Care of Nin Dogs....Icha Icha Paradise Volume 1. Bingo.' I slid the orange book out from it's spot and swiftly hopped off the bed and landed on the wooden floor. I examined the revolting so called romance novel. It's bright orange cover taunted me, a picture of a woman being chased by a man while they smile, and blood red letters that read Icha Icha Paradise. This was certainly Kakashi's most favorite volume, for it was also covered in plastic to protect it from dust, water, and such. My nose scrunched in disgust at the filthy book. 'Dirty bastard...He'll end up like that perverted hermit if he keeps this up.'
"Well, I can't necessarily ruin the book with this stupid thing on," I say to myself, looking at the shiny protective plastic, "You sad, sad man Kakashi..." I look over at my dear masked friend, surely he must have some better things to do other than...reading pornographic novels.....
On second thought, maybe he doesn't.
Anyway, continuing on with my devious plan. I look around for the opening of the plastic, finally on the back of the book was the sticky stuff that held the plastic closed. Peel here. It said with an arrow pointing to the spot where I had to peel. With on last look at Kakashi, I quickly took the top of the plastic sticker and, guess what? I peeled it.
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP!
And oh dear God, did I regret doing it.
"NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!" my head spun to the bed, where the scream had came from.To find no one there, before I could react I was tackled to the ground. CRASH! 'Son of a--!'
"AIEEEE!" Kakashi had rammed me to the hard wooden floor, HARD wooden floor! By instinct, I hugged the book to my chest as he sat on my back, trying to obtain his precious book back. "KAKASHI! GET OFF OF ME!"
"DON'T YOU DARE HURT MY BOOK!" he yells in response, still trying to grab his book. What a freak! I didn't even get to touch it! All I did was tear the plastic sticker!
"I DIDN'T EVEN TOUCH IT!" he didn't seem to hear me, he continued trying to take the book from my arms as I struggled. "Look! Ugh--Kakashi! If you get OFF of me, I will give the book back! Just GET OFF!" Luckily, this time the Jounin had heard me. He froze, then leaped up from my back. I get up as well with a hand on my back...stupid Kakashi...for sure it's going to be sore.
I glower at Kakashi, his revealed, brown eye sparkled with excitment and his hands were stuck out like a beggar. He had no shirt on, but he did have pants and his silver hair was messy, but still slanted to the side. "What do you want?" I asked coldly, knowing exactly what he wanted.
"The book!"
"...This book?" I held the hard cover book up, Kakashi's eyes widened and nodded, what a kid. "Hm. You want the book?" again he nodded rapidly. I glanced at the window, I guess Plan B will have to do. "Then here ya go!" I threw the damned thing out the unfortunately opened window. FWOOSH!
And there went the book.
"NOOOOOOOOO!" CRASH!
And there went Kakashi.
-------------------------------------------------------------- -
"Kakashi- san?"
Silence.
I sigh, was he still mad? It's his fault for jumping out of the cursed window! "You know, you could've avoided getting hurt if you just used the stairs! Besides, all you got was some bad bruises and scratches here and there." Still he continued to walk in silence. This was going to be a challenge.
"Natsuki- chan!" I look away from Kakashi to see Team 7. I smile and waved at them. Naruto come bouncing up to us with his team mate following him from behind.
"You're LATE again Kakashi- sensei!" Sakura points out the obvious....wait, again?
"Ano, Sensei, what happened to you?" the whole team looked at their bandaged teacher, a bandaid was beneath his eye, some bandages were shown on his neck, and some of his fingers and palm have been wrapped as well.
"I got into a bloody fight on the way here! There were so many ninjas! But see I am alright now." 'What?! He didn't get into some fight! He jumped out of a window! ' Kakashi was smiling, his eye curved as he spread out his arms, indicating the many ninjas part of his excuse.
"...I guess it's believeable..." Sakura says slowly, looking at all the 'battle wounds'. Sasuke was emotionless, as he too looked at the scratches and bandages.
"Seems kind of suspicious." he blankly states, eyeing his teacher doubtfully. Kakashi chuckles nervously, scratching the back of his neck.
"Ma, don't treat me so harshly now, Sasuke!"
"You deserve it...." I mumble lowly, only Kakashi had heard it for he had given me a quick glare.
"Anyway, let's start training--"
"HATAKE KAKASHI!"
Kakashi groans in disappointment, "If it's not one thing, it's the other." he says, fairly loudly while glaring at me. Of course, in response, I scowled at him back.
----------------------------------------------
"KAKASHI, MY ETERNAL RIVAL!" a man with bushy eyebrows in a tight green suit had run up to Kakashi and his group. His black, bowl haircut was shining from the massive amount of gel he had used to get it perfect, his grin was even brighter.
"What do you want, Gai?" Kakashi asked, sounding somewhat annoyed. So far he's been having a bad day, the last thing he needed was a crazed rival doing something insane.
"Have you forgotten?! We were suppose to meet today! Our score it 101 to 100! Course I am in the lead!" he smiles, his pearly whites shined once more, a thumb was up.
"..Can we do this later? I really don't--"
"Nonsense! Our rivalry is very important!"
"But I need to train my students-"
"Yes I do too! But see, I brought them along! That just shows you how dedicated I am!" Gai pointed at three teenagers, his students. One of them looked exactly like Gai, thick eyebrows, bowl haircut, green suit, and everything else. The second one had long dark brown hair and pale, milky eyes. His last student was a female that had brown hair that was in two buns, her eye were brown too. Yes, he had brought his kids. Kakashi lets out a deep sigh, he really was not up to it today.
Defeated, Hatake Kakashi nodded. "Good now let's--" he stops. Gai's eyes grow wide at the sight...the sight of...Kakashi. "What--Kakashi, why do you look like crap?! Even more crappier than any day!" Kakashi didn't have time to tell his story of the 'bloody fight', Gai had already took control of the spotlight, "HA HA! Lucky for you we do not win points for how we look, or else I would SURELY win todays match..in fact, I would win EVERYDAY'S match! HA HA HA!"
"Hm? Did you say something, Gai?"
"GAH! Kakashi your attitude is so hip! That's what makes you such a worthy rival!" Gai grabbed at his black mass of hair in anger of the defeat of 'hip-ness'. Kakashi snickers inwardly, he knew the 'What did you say?' attitude ticked off Gai, it brought joy to his heart just to see him so angry. "No matter! Today I shall not be defeated!" Gai then got into his 'good guy pose', the pose where he is smiling like some toothpaste commercial and has his thumb up.
"Sure."
"So what shall the challenge be today Kakashi?!" Gai yells, excitement filling his veins.
The fellow Jounin was quiet for a couple seconds then, he had an idea. He smiled mentally. "Today Gai, Natsuki- chan will help us in our feud." Natsuki, who was watching the whole thing gasped, 'What is he thinking!? ' the young woman thinks to herself as Gai, spins his head to meet her gaze.
All time had stopped, there she was. (This is Gai's view) The blue eyed angel stood there by Kakashi's students, raven black hair was let down to her waist, white skin emphasised her icy eyes. "MY LOVE!" with Gai's incredible speed, he had dashed to the woman, holding one of her hands without her even realising it. "We had finally reunited in the present life! Now you and I must aloft!" Kakashi held down his urge to burst out laughing, the expression on Natsuki's face was priceless.
WHAP! Ha ha ha...as Kakashi had presumed, Natsuki had punched Gai across the filed with her insane strength. 'Ah...What a good combo. Natsuki gets pissed and Gai gets whalloped. My day is getting better...'
As Kakashi helplessly starts laughing, the other 6 students were gawking at the woman who had punched a Jounin across the field. Their thoughts?
Naruto: 'EH?! Natsuki- chan!? GAI- SENSEI?! '
Sakura: 'Natsuki- san is...strong.'
Sasuke: 'Who the Hell is she...'
Lee: 'What power! She has defeated Gai- sensei in strength! She is truly great! '
Ten Ten: 'Awesome! She's just like Tsunade- sama! '
Neji: 'That was scary...'
Kakashi: 'Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha....*continues to laugh out of thoughts* '
Everyone stayed quiet, Natsuki was still in the position to punch.
Lee and Ten Ten, being worried, ran over to their unconcious teacher. "Gai- sensei! Are you hurt?"
Then, out of nowhere, unexpectedly, "Thank you Ten Ten and Lee for being so conerned! But do not worry, it does not hurt! Because, clearly Natsuki- san had hit me out of LOVE!" the present crowd was gaping at Gai, he had a black eye, was missing some teeth, hair was a mess, and had a broken nose...you call that sight not painful?
He then quickly sped over to the person who had punched him, holding her hand once more. "See! I am worthy of your love, I can withstand your attacks of love!" he then pulled her into an embrace, "Marry me."
POW!
Gai hits a tree with a loud crack to the wood as Kakashi sheds tears of joy from laughing so hard, yes his day had gotten much better.
-----------------------------------
So how was it? Sorry it took so long...school is like next week...so yeah, busy with orientations and all. I probably won't get chapters out that quickly, like everyone else at FF.net that has school, work, and so forth. Well anyway, please review and as usual no flames =).
-Hatake-Kakashi x3
Explanations For the Ridiculous Impossibilities: Yeah, anyone can figure out by now that the main character is just a plain Mary- Sue(at first sight). But what crime is that? A very bad one I suppose =). Hehe. Anyway, about timelines. Of age and all. I believe I got the ages all right, Naruto is three because of his birthday, being in a later date from the other fictions/fansites that I read. So if you were wondering why he wasn't four, then that is why. I admit, there are ages in the fic that are incorrect, I apologise greatly. But since it is a fanfiction, it is merely fake. A couple of small changes will not affect the Anime or manga in anyway. Sorry about Natsuki being all, "I am a perfect kid at age 8 and I am too damn smart for my own good." I must say, Kakashi was way smarter when he was younger. If people don't have a problem with Kakashi being Mr. Perfect, then I think Natsuki, a fictional character, should be given some slack too. And to explain Natuski for acting so mature at age eight, at times when a child is left with almost nothing at such a young age, some children tend to mature in the mind in order to live life. When mom and dad aren't there, you're going to have to learn by yourself. And please, even if I do portray my character to be so perfect, don't think that I am conceited like that too, that's just messed up =P, I don't think of my writing skills professional, I know a lot more people who will remain better writers than I'll ever be, but that is why I am here, to improve, not to be insulted. Haha, anyhow continuing on with my poor writing qualities, forgive me for my sucky Japanese. I will throw some words here or there, just to keep it in a Naruto feeling. I'll keep using the '-chans, -kuns, -senseis, -sans, etc'. I find it odd to address people, Miss Sakura, Teacher Kakashi(Master Kakashi is fine), My close male, friend Sasuke, and such. I'm sure some of you know what I'm talking about...
Readers: *Silent*
...Well then, I guess not ^^;. Anyhow, thanks you guys for being concerned and reading this LONG explanation. And no worries, Natsuki won't be perfect through the whole way. I refuse to make her truly perfect. As you see, not all will fall for her and so forth...But(Oh gosh the horrid word)! If it comes to the point where it looks like readers comes to the point of extreme unsatisfactory, then I will simply just...Uhh...Cancel the story =) But I won't give up just yet. I'll try harder.
Chapter 4: Good Day
Kakashi- sensei's and Natsuki- san's Messy Home
"AH! Naruto! DON'T THROW IT AT ME!" I yell at the idiot of our team, Naruto, as he threw a pair of white boxers, which had little dog patterns on it, at my thigh, missing the black, garbage bag I was carrying that contained other dirty laundry in it.Kakashi- sensei's and Natsuki- san's Messy Home
"Gomen Sakura- chan! I guess I missed!" he laughs anxiously as I groan in annoyance, "Geez, how much clothes does Kakashi- sensei have laying around..." I hear Naruto mumble as he threw a pair of black pants into the bag I was holding, not missing the target this time.
"Too much..." I look at where the heavenly, low voice had come from, Sasuke. His dark onyx eyes were looking at a dirty navy blue shirt that was laying on the ground at his feet, that earned a disgusted look. "This mission is a nuisance, we are cleaning up after Kakashi, while the lazy ass sits in his bedroom reading his book, ditching his task in cleaning his own room." My pupils grow smaller hearing those words.
"That lazy bastard! How dare he lets us do the dirty work!" I screamed, bolting up from the littered floor. I hate this mission with all my heart and soul. And to think our sensei was going to do something helpful for once, but alas I had thought wrong. I was about to go kick some lazy sensei ass! Just because it is his home doesn't mean he is allowed to do to be lazy ass! A mission is a mission, no matter where the place may be! Besides, before Natsuki- san had left for the groceries, she has specifically told Kakashi- sensei to clean up his room!
"YOU SHOULD KICK HIS ASS! HELL YEAH!" (Inner Sakura)
My fist clenched, and I gritted my teeth as I glare at the closed door of my teacher's room. He was going to pay. "Ano sa! Sakura- chan. Calm down..." I look over at Naruto, my eyes felt as if they were burning with much desire to clobber my sensei!...What the...was Naruto being calm? "If you seriously want Kaka-sensei to get into trouble, we should wait till Natuski- chan gets home." For a minute, I felt like a fool. And in front of Sasuke- kun...How embarassing. I feel Sasuke's dark eyes on me and Naruto, just as surprised than I was at Naruto's attitude. What happened to him? Not that I mind the usual hyperactive boy was serene now, but he has changed all of the sudden, eversince....Natsuki- san...
"Ah, yeah...Sorry. Thanks Naruto, I should try to keep calm." a chuckle from Naruto, then he continued rummaging through the trash. I feel blood rush to my cheeks from embarassment. Even though Sasuke- kun wasn't looking over here any longer, I still felt stupid.. GAH! Stupid Naruto! Deciding to kind of break the awkwardness that I had with Sasuke, I asked him in a lighter, gentler tone "Sasuke- kun, do you need any help?" with a glance Sasuke simply responded no. I sigh in disappointment as my face falls. What was I doing wrong? Why must he be so...Cold. What bothered me extremely about this answer was he used the exact same tone, saying the exact same 'no' when he rejected me on the numerous occassions I had asked him out on dates. I sigh quietly to myself, Sasuke still had no interest in me...in anything for that matter. My face scrunched up in anger as I tossed all of Sensei's stuff that were in sight in the bag. I couldn't wait to get home and be alone from the cruel world. Bah! Ino-pig probably has it better off being without Sasuke, avoiding so much pain. I kept shoving random things, yes some of those things weren't clothes, inside the black bag until--"Ouch!" I pull my hand away quickly from the object I was about to dispose of. Sasuke and Naruto rushed to my side, alarmed.
"Sakura- chan! You all right?! Did you stab your hand with a kunai? Or a shuriken?!" Naruto asks, seeing that I was holding my hand in pain. Sasuke examined my hand from my back, then relaxed from his tensed state.
"She didn't do much damage to her hand, she'll get a bruise. Nothing more." my face blushed to a deep red. Again, I was ashamed, how can I be so...Dumb?! Did Naruto trade places with me?! Mad, I pick up the stupid object that had the nerve to stab me, a book. Great. It better not be one of Sensei's pervert books...I am really not in the mood to deal with idiocy right now. "What is that?" Sasuke, asks. Wow. He's curious. Naruto and I blink at the plain, blue book. Wait a minute...Those perv books would have some weird cover on it...A blank blue book cover? Impossible for Jiraiya- sama to be so bland, especially on his Icha Icha series.
I place the book in my lap, then opened it slowly, to be greeted by dust...and photos. "Photo album?" Naruto nods, looking closely at the four pictures on the first two pages. I laugh as I saw a familiar silver haired boy. Our sensei I presumed in his younger years. "Look guys, Kakashi- sensei when he was our age!" Naruto and Sasuke closely examine the picutre of our sensei, who was sitting on a rock looking ever so bored. He had a dark blue outfit on, two brown sashes crossing over his chest, a sheathed katana on his back, mask still there, and his eyes were both the dark hazel of his revealed eye today.
Naruto starts busting up into fits of laughter, "He still looks the same! Like a tired old geezer!" Sasuke smirks, agreeing with Naruto's insult. I disagreed with the two, I think Sensei was pretty good looking at that age...Not to be gross. But he was our age( No Sakura/Kakashi). I turn the next page and the picture that had caught our interest was a small girl that was seated in, who seemed to be our sensei's, lap. Of course Kakashi- sensei was older in this picture. It looked as if he was smiling under his mask. And the girl...She looked quite familiar as well.... "Natsuki- chan?" Naruto whispers, souding surprised. I looked back at the picture and nodded at Naruto's examination.
"Yeah..I can't believe I didn't notice sooner. Blue eyes, wide grin, pale complexion. Any idiot could've told the difference!" I examined the picture more closely, something looked extremely odd. My forehead wrinkled as I try to figure out what exactly was wrong...
"Hey...you guys. Kakashi- sensei looks like he can be Natsuki- chan's older brother!" I blink. So that's what was wrong. I started to giggle at the comment, now I knew why it looked funny. Isn't Sensei and Natsuki the same age? I look back down at the album in my lap, they definitely didn't look the same age at all in there.
"You moron, that's because Kakashi is older than her." Obviously. Sasuke was looking at the picture as well while Naruto was yelling insults at him at the top of his lungs. When I was finished being annnoyed and yelling at Naruto, we all sat down on the trashed couch and looked through the book of memories. There was a bunch of pictures of Kakashi, Natsuki, a blonde haired man(that sorta reminded me of Naruto), and Iruka- sensei. There were other older pictures of what we thought was Sensei's old team mates.
"Wow," Naruto whispers, enchanted by the pictures and memories our sensei had. I shut the book softly, now holding it with more caution as if it was touched any more rough all the memories would shatter. We all sat in silence, deep in our own thoughts, probably all thinking the same: Sensei had it all, he had everything we had. But now, they're all gone. I hear someone get up from the couch after a long moment, "Let's finish cleaning." Naruto says quietly, walking back to his corner of trash. Without protests or any words at all, Sasuke and I stood up and we all began to clean up the room contently.
------------------------------------------------------------ ---
"I hate shopping..." I mumbled grimly to myself, I placed the grocery bags down carefully as I started to dig through my pockets for my keys. I had just returned from the cursed places called supermarkets. Things had changed eversince ten years ago, when Kakashi- san or Iruka- san went shopping groceries with me, it was less crowded...except the times with Kakashi, girls would run up to him and all that stuff, anyhow. It was just now..more crowded. It was hard to get the stuff you needed, I had to at least go to 5 different grocery places to get the items that I wanted. My was it troublesome.
I sighed in relief, finding the key to the apartment, I pulled the warm metal out of my pocket and unlocked the door. The door lightly creaks open and to my surprise, I was warmly greeted by three teenagers. Why warmly? Well...THEY CLEANED THE LIVING ROOM THAT WAS ONCE WAS A CHAOTIC DUMP! That's why. I dropped the bags of groceries with a loud thud! and stared in complete astonishment at the extremely tidy home. Wow. My eyes roam around the room, seeing every corner clean, the couches were spotless, it smelled decent, and everything was placed in it's correct location. Everything was neat except the middle of the living room, which had three exhausted teenagers resting on the vacuumed carpet, admiring their work. "Eh, you guys actually did what I didn't think was possible," I walk over to the young shinobis, leaving the brown bags of food behind. "Marvelous work you three! You completed your C Mission, Hokage- sama will hear much great things about you!" I grin widely at the proud ninjas. "Yes, yes. You are truly good ninjas. I am so impressed!" again I stared at the cleansed roon in delight.
Then a little voice disrupts my radiant feeling, "But Natsuki- san, cleaning the apartment was not all that hard. All you needed was patience and devotion." Sakura forms a sweat drop at her temple as she speaks softly to me, I could hear Naruto chuckling and Sasuke smirking. I scratch the back of my head, laughing nervously.
"Nonsense! I think you all did a great job at taking on this challenge and winning it." They all look at me with a doubtful facial cast, they were not convinced.
Naruto snickers at my now blushing face as I desperately try to think of another compliment or excuse. "Ehhhh! Maybe Natsuki- chan won't admit she's lazy!" a hearty laugh, "And she makes us do the dirty work!" Sakura giggles helplessly, putting her hand over her mouth as she trembles with gleeful fits. Sasuke couldn't help but let out a small chuckle while Naruto accused me of being so inactive...while smiling. "You and Sensei shouldn't live together! You both are lazy! We are going to be here weekly if you continue to house under the same roof!" A burst of laughter eruptted after Naruto had finished. Did these kids love to see me succumb to the truth in a ridiculous manner? I blushed. Okay, so I am lazy. I never use to be...well after being with a lazy person(she isn't so lazy now after taking the job as Hokage) for ten years, Tsunade- sensei'a habits has rubbed off me immensely, almost everything except gambling. All of them continued to laugh, except Sasuke who now merely smirked, I couldn't help but feel a tug at my lips...alright, so it's a tiny bit funny.
After sharing the giggles with Team 7, I decided to break it up before Sasuke(who already stopped smiling) went insane from the amount of laughing, I didn't think he could handle all the happy feelings and I was getting tired of the constant insults I was receiving. "All right kiddies, break it up. Now that we have seen how well you all have done," I ignored a stifled giggle from Naruto, "Let us see just how Sensei is doing."
The kids got up from where they sat then followed me as I lead them down the small, skinny hallway and stopped in front of Kakashi's room. His door was closed shut, it was silent inside. I lifted my hand up to open the door, "Ano sa, Natsuki- chan?" My hand stops midway, I look down at Naruto, who stood to my left with furrowed brows, his blue eyes looking doubtful. I asked him what was wrong, "Well..."
Sakura, who seemed as if she understood what was going on, butted in, "Natsuki- san, what if Kakashi- sensei is busy?" I arch a brow, my lips curling downward.
"Busy? With what? Sleeping? It is so quiet in there, I would think he was sleeping. That lazy old fart." With that nice affront, I opened the door, ignoring the other two's protests. And to my horror I found........Nothing. The one eyed Jounin was nowhere to be found, and surprisingly the room was very clean. The papers on his desk were placed neatly in stacks, clothes were in the draws, and his bed that was cleared off too except for the sheets and pillows, was made very nicely. I smirk, placing my hands on my hips, "He isn't that lazy, I guess." I admitted quite amused, the other three were quite surprised at how neat the room looked now, when they had seen it earlier it was WAY worse than the living room's conditions. It was disgusting. But now all of the sudden, everything looked perfectly clean. "He did a nice job as well.." I stepped inside the non littered room, examining every little clean spot in his room. Hell, he could probably beat me in having the cleanest room in the house(well to be honest he would beat me, eversince I have gotten back my room has looked a little unpleasent itself).
"But, where is Kakashi- sensei?" I hear Sakura and the others follow behind me, taking a look at the amazing sight. I shrug, my head turns to look at his opened window, white curtains flowing gracefully in the breeze that had entered the room. "Jeez, couldn't he just went out through the front door?" Sakura says with a tone of annoyance, I agreed. Didn't have to be so fancy and go through the window.
But I couldn't let him be thought as a dumbass old sensei, I had to defend my friend. "I think it had to be a good reason if he had to use the window. What a great shinobi for trusting his skills." A snort was heard from behind me, I am gonna say that was Sasuke, The two other team mates only stayed quiet, knowing well enough I was just giving them lame excuses, but were too considerate to make a fool of me so they stayed quiet. "Oh well, Kakashi will just have to hope he gets back in time for dinner." I say, clearly pushing the subject aside.
Six pairs of eyes lit up with happiness as I said the word 'dinner'. "YAY, NATUSKI- CHAN IS GOING TO MAKE US DINNER!" Naruto yells, hopping around still energetic, wish I had as much stamina as he did....And I wish I knew how to-- "What are you going to make for us to eat Natsuki- chan?!" crystal blue eyes stared at me with much eagerness, I felt a hand grasping my right sleeve. It reminded me of a homeless child that was just told that I could give him come cookies.
"Uh..." And I wish I knew what to say.
---------------------------------------------------------------
"Uh..."
I looked at Natsuki- chan's face, she wasn't smiling. It was more like she was sad...but kind of not, you know like those times when you are at a ramen bar and you don't have the money to pay for your meal, you know...nervous and she was fumbling with her fingers like Hinata did, weird. But I don't know why Natsuki- chan had to look so nervous. All I asked her was what she was going to cook.
"...Natsuki- san?" Sakura- chan pulled me away from Natsuki- chan as she begins to look away from us, placing a hand behind her head. We all exchanged looks, all was quiet when we waited for Natsuki- chan to answer us, but she went on rubbing the back of her head. Does her head hurt?
For a couple more minutes without any word, Sasuke- bastard said something, "Do you even know how to cook?"
I looked at everyone's faces, Sasuke was...a bastard's face. Sakura- chan...her mouth was open a little and her eyes got bigger. And Natsuki- chan...she was laughing.
"Hahahahahaha....I uhhh...Well," we all stood there, was she okay? "..."
Silence.
"You guys don't happen to know how to cook do you?"
---------------------------------------------------------------
An d that is what happened. Yup, yup. We were all surprised that Natsuki- chan didn't know how to cook, she said she had forgotten how to because she never cooked anymore. But I don't know, she just might be lying and is lazy. It's okay though...
"Natsuki- chan, where do you want these papers to be?"
Because instead of cooking, Natsuki- chan and I got to be together and clean! I was happy to be around Natsuki- chan, since she didn't know how to cook and Sakura and Sasuke- bastard knew how, we went to clean up her room. Which was almost as dirty as the living room.
She turns away from the piling trash canister and looked at the papers I held out to her in my hand. "Ah, here. Let me throw them away." I nodded happily and gave the papers to her, as I gave her the papers, I could feel her cool hands touch my own warm hands lightly, I feel my face go warm. It seemed to do that everytime she took stuff away from me to go throw away, I don't think she notices it though. She smiles at me in thanks and shoves the white papers into the trash. "Thanks so much Naruto for helping me clean up my room... I didn't have the time to do it. Most of the things I were doing was visiting Hokage- sama to do paperworks and such for living here." I understood and nodded, she must've been busy to have such a messy room...Just like me. "I don't think this room would look as decent as it is now if you Naruto hadn't came and blessed my room with your good intent to help me."
"Eh, it's nothing Natsuki- chan!" I say, feeling proud that she had praised me so highly with such a big smile. "I'll help you out anytime you want!" I grin back at her, I really meant those words. We had spent two hours at least with each other cleaning up and stuff, I really had fun being with her. I wasn't all jittery and weird acting around her anymore..not as much as before. I was comfortable with Natsuki- chan after awhile, I coudl talk to her normal now and act normal again. She didn't look like she seemed to care but she did look happy.
I feel a hand being placed on top of my head, ruffling my hair. "I'll remember that. You're a sweet kid Naruto- kun. All the ladies will be chasing after you when you get around your older years." 'Ah...I wish I was around my older ages now.' I thought sourly to myself. "Now why such a glum face?" I feel her hand remove itself away from my head, I frown even more. She saw it too.
Quickly I said, "It's nothing! I was just thinking...hehehe..." I chuckle nervously, she didn't looked too convinced at first, but ignored it and stood up. I watch her as she walked to the window with a calmed expression and looked out at the colorful buildings and bustling citizens that were returning to their homes. A smile.
She gazed at the usual scene of Konoha for a long time before she turned back to look at me, her gentle pale blue eyes looked familiar against the setting sun's light. I stare at her, she was a pretty lady, a very pretty lady. Wait, pretty ladies meant..."Natsuki- chan?" she tilts her head, looking at me thoughtfully. "I have noticed a lot of pretty girls have boyfriends, do you?" I asked carelessly. For a moment it was quiet, then a burst of laughter had eruptted from the lady. I was confused, I had done a lot of funny things in my life but I didn't mean for the question to be funny...
She laughs heartily until tears of happiness streamed down from her eyes then took a breath trying to calm herself down and wiped away her tears. Smiling very widely now she exclaims, "Naruto- kun! You are funny. But you must be mistaken, Me, boyfriend? Pretty? Oh no, no, no..You are very mistakened." she patted me on the head again as I tried to object. "Naruto, really. I have seen better," a shake of her head. "But it was very kind of you to say...And no I do not have a boyfriend. I have friends that are boys...and that is about it." she faintly laughs, my forehead scrunches up in disbelieve...Really, did she have to protest so strongly against it? Before I could say anything more Sakura- chan had called us to dinner.
---------------------------------------------------------------
The kids and I all sat at the small dinner table eating tempura and rice. A plain meal, but it was better than nothing, besides, it tasted good! "Good job on the tempura Sakura-chan!" Naruto shouts in delight as he takes another piece of shrimp. I nodded my head in agreement, taking another bite of the delicious prawn. Mm...
Sakura chuckles nervously, blushing. "Well, I didn't make it," Naruto and I looked over at the faded pink hair girl with a questioning look. "Sasuke- kun did."
"ACK! ACK! ACK!" Naruto beated on his chest, trying to ease the choking. We all stare at the frightened blonde haired boy thump at his chest, "P-Poisin!" was all he had shouted out before he had ran to the washroom. It was quiet as we all sat at the dinner table, the only noise that can be heard was Naruto's disgusted coughs and spitting. Really, I think he was overreacting about the whole Sasuke thing...I for one think he did a fine job.
I laugh slightly, then averted my attention back to dear Sakura and Sasuke, both looked embarassed at their teammate's actions. "Oh don't worry about that silly boy, you did a very fine job on the tempura Sasuke- kun, and you as well Sakura- chan...whatever you partook of it." Sasuke, I am guessing in his way of saying your welcome, grunted and continued to eat his dinner. Sakura smiled politely as well and went on with her meal too. When Naruto had finished with his 'vomitting' he returned to the dinner table with a grossed out expression, I giggled to myself softly, this kid was funny. "How are you feeling now Naruto- kun? The poisin, has it left your system?" my tone of the question had nearly sounded as if I was teasing, Naruto had not noticed.
Naruto gave a glare at Sasuke and then nodded at me, "Yeah, I was lucky enough to get it out..." a glare from Sasuke. "I will just stick with my rice for now." Sakura has also glared at Naruto for insulting her crush's cooking, of course it was ignored. And we all continued to eat, until a close of a door had sounded through the quiet apartment. All of us exchanged looks, then dashed off to different parts of the house, hiding stealthily.
The unknown guest, guessing they were ninja, walked to the rooms. From the distance of the chakra I had felt, they had went to my room then Kakashi's room. They stayed idle in the hallway after the second bedroom then proceeded to the kitchen...Our hiding place. I pulled out my chopsticks that I had taken from dinner...it will have to do well as a weapon for now. I was hiding quietly under the table, the others were around the kitchen too. The figure neared the table, their feet had ninja sandals on. I was correct about them being ninja...The person stood there, I am guessing staring at the food. Their right hand, that was once on their side, had disappeared from my sight--OH NO THE TEMPURA! Before I was going to jab at the little theif with my useless chopsticks, there was a loud battle cry. The figure spun around and was tackled to the ground. THUD!
"ARGH! DON'T YOU TOUCH OUR DINNER YOU--Kakashi- sensei?" from under the table, I had saw the scene of Naruto sitting on his teacher, as Kakashi gives him a little annoyed look. "Ano! Sorry Kakashi- sensei..." Naruto quickly apologises and helps his sensei up from the hard, tiled floor.
"It's fine Naruto...Just don't attack me next time in my home. We have to work on your skills to know who your enemy, if they are even an enemy, is." Kakashi brushed the dust off himself, giving a disapporving look at his slightly dusty clothes. "And why are you all hiding? Come out." with that, I had crawled out from under the table, Sasuke jumped out from the cupboard, dusting himself off and Sakura left her spot from under the sink with a look of disgust. "...I did not expect to be greeted by an ambush." Kakashi says with a tint of amusement in his voice, not mad anymore.
Naruto and Sakura laughs, rubbing the back of their necks, while Sasuke and I stayed expressionless. "Where did you go?" I ask, taking a seat at the table again, continuing to eat. The kids do the same.
"Ah yeah. I had to attend to something important..." he trails off his sentence, unsure about something. Hm...
Sakura finally spoke, curious to where her teacher had left to. "Was it a Jounin meeting?" a mumbled no was her reply, Kakashi avoided eye contact.
What could have been so important as to jump out the window? "Not a Jounin meeting?! Was it a mission!?" Naruto hops out of his seat, excitement filled his deep sapphire eyes. Again, the Jounin shakes his head. All of us had stayed quiet, thinking of what important thing he had to attend to...if it wasn't a meeting, or a mission, then what?
"Was..." all heads turn in my direction, "Was it a date?!" Naruto's, Sasuke's and Sakura's heads darted at Kakashi who only chuckled at my explanation.
"No, no...Something more important." this was killing us, what could it be? "Well, if you guys are so desperate to know..." we watch Kakashi intently as he slowly reaches for his kunai pouch and pull out an orange book. He lifted the book and showed it to us, it's yellow cover almost blinding us. There was a drawing of two people hugging, a man and a woman, on the front. This book was called Icha Icha Paradise: Volume 11. "The new volume came out today, and the bookstore was having a sale...The author was signing autographs too!" he flipped to the cover page, where we saw red scribbled writing, Jiraiya. Our faces paled...that was the important thing? "I almost forgot about it, good thing I found my calendar for this year under my bed, or else it would've slipped."
"YOU IDIOT!" Kakashi had earned a smack behind the head, and oh did it hurt...
He grabbed his pained head, "Ouch! Natsuki- chan! That hurt!" he rubbed it, glaring at me.
I glare back at him, "It was suppose to hurt. You deserve it too! Going off like that for some PERVERT book."
"It's not just some pervert book. It's a really beautiful pervert book."
SMACK!
------------------------------------------------ ---------------
After more slapping around and yelling, the shinobis continued to eat their dinner. "Ah, I almost forgot," Kakashi puts down his clean bowl and chopstick, everyone else stares at the empty bowl in horror, they didn't even see him eat! "Before I was attacked in the kitchen, I looked around and I must say you all did a great job. I haven't seen the apartment this clean eversince ten years ago..." his revealed eye lazily makes it's way to look at Natsuki, who was smiling slightly at him. He was right, the place hasn't been so clean eversince Natsuki had left. "I'll collect our money for this mission tomorrow."
"Kakashi- sensei, don't we have a mission tomorrow as well?" Sakura, who was done with her dinner and was now cleaning up everyone's empty dishes, questioned her teacher. Her teacher merely shakes his head, "Then what are we going to be doing?"
"Training, Sakura. We haven't done it for the past few days," Sakura smiles and nodded, but mentally frowns. Training was not her favorite thing to do, it was tiring. She wasn't use to so much...action. She couldn't handle it, her stamina was not as high as Naruto's, she was not as fast as Sasuke, and she wasn't as strong as neither of them. She sighs, another wasted day tomorrow will be. "Natsuki- chan, are you planning on doing anything tomorrow?" the teenagers looked over at the bored looking blue eyed lady, who had been quiet eversince the attacks on Kakashi.
"I don't believe--"
She was cut halfway through her sentence by a grinning Jounin."Good, you will come with us tomorrow to do some training. I need some help you know." Natsuki twitches, 'Who does he think he is? ' Kakashi sees the look of confusion on your face and then adds in, "..Unless you don't want to," The woman was about to say 'No, have other things to do.' if she wasn't interuptted by two, extremely adorable people, Naruto and Sakura.
"Pleeeeeeease Natsuki- chan!?" she sighs, Sakura and Naruto were both holding their hands together and were on their knees begging her, they really wanted her to come...Sakura, because she was a fellow female that can understand her hardships in training and Naruto because he had a crush on her. She reluctantly look down at the two genins, how could she say no to them? They had their puppy eyes and quivering frowns...again Natsuki heaved out a sigh and then nodded in acceptance.
Before anyone could blink the two that were once on their knees heartbroken, had quickly recovered and were now smiling widely and were sitting in their seats. Natsuki face falls at how gullable she was.
Then Kakashi speaks in his monotonous voice, eye curved from smiling. "Great then. All of us should meet at..." he pauses in his sentence as he taps on his masked chin, thinking of a time. "Let's say 11:00 AM? At the same ol' training spot." his pupils agreed to the scheduled time with a nod, then a mumble from a certain loud-mouthed boy about their sensei always being late, it was ignored of course.
"I'm leaving then," Sasuke gets up from his seat, pushes the chair in(what a gentleman eh?) and walks to the door. "I don't want to waste energy here if we're gonna train."
"Yeah! Sasuke-kun, you're so smart," and dear Haruno Sakura follows after the heart throb, "Thank you Natsuki- san for having us over for dinner."
Natsuki shakes her head, "No, no...I should thank you, for cooking and cleaning the apartment."
"Oh no, it was nothing," Sakura says, waving the subject off quickly, trying to catch up with Sasuke. "Sasuke-kun, can I walk home with you?" a grunt was heard as they left.
"Oi! OI! Wait up you guuuuuuuuysssss!" Naruto bolts out of his seat, darting for the door, but before leaving he quickly bows to Natsuki while thanking her in a very fast pace.
"No problem at all Naruto, thanks for earlier." Naruto beams at the older girl, a light blush came to his face. He then realizes his comrades footsteps getting more distant.
"AH! WAIT YOU GUYS! Bye Natsuki- chan, Kakashi- sensei!" the exhausted Natsuki and Kakashi bid the young, hyper boy farewell. Natsuki sighs, just thinking what madness might happen tomorrow.
------------------------------------------------------------- --
The Next Morning
"Kakashi- san! Please wake up! WAKE UP!" I rapidly shake my room mate's sleeping form, but no avail. 'Jeez, after all that time and he's still a heavy sleeper...'I look up at the clock that hung on the wall above his bed, 11:15 AM, oh great. I have been doing this horrible task for 30 minutes. And he still hasn't woken up! I glare at Kakashi as he snuggles closer to his pillow, mumbling something from under his mask. 'Talks in his sleep too.' What to do next? Thirty minutes of useless attempts and still he hasn't woken.
I take a seat on his bed, tapping my bottom lip as I thought of a fast way to wake the Jounin. Then it hit me.
I hopped up on his bed and walked to the little shelf that was above his head, my eyes scan for the book of my destination. 'How to be a Hip Ninja...Konoha's History...Learn How to Take Care of Nin Dogs....Icha Icha Paradise Volume 1. Bingo.' I slid the orange book out from it's spot and swiftly hopped off the bed and landed on the wooden floor. I examined the revolting so called romance novel. It's bright orange cover taunted me, a picture of a woman being chased by a man while they smile, and blood red letters that read Icha Icha Paradise. This was certainly Kakashi's most favorite volume, for it was also covered in plastic to protect it from dust, water, and such. My nose scrunched in disgust at the filthy book. 'Dirty bastard...He'll end up like that perverted hermit if he keeps this up.'
"Well, I can't necessarily ruin the book with this stupid thing on," I say to myself, looking at the shiny protective plastic, "You sad, sad man Kakashi..." I look over at my dear masked friend, surely he must have some better things to do other than...reading pornographic novels.....
On second thought, maybe he doesn't.
Anyway, continuing on with my devious plan. I look around for the opening of the plastic, finally on the back of the book was the sticky stuff that held the plastic closed. Peel here. It said with an arrow pointing to the spot where I had to peel. With on last look at Kakashi, I quickly took the top of the plastic sticker and, guess what? I peeled it.
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP!
And oh dear God, did I regret doing it.
"NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!" my head spun to the bed, where the scream had came from.To find no one there, before I could react I was tackled to the ground. CRASH! 'Son of a--!'
"AIEEEE!" Kakashi had rammed me to the hard wooden floor, HARD wooden floor! By instinct, I hugged the book to my chest as he sat on my back, trying to obtain his precious book back. "KAKASHI! GET OFF OF ME!"
"DON'T YOU DARE HURT MY BOOK!" he yells in response, still trying to grab his book. What a freak! I didn't even get to touch it! All I did was tear the plastic sticker!
"I DIDN'T EVEN TOUCH IT!" he didn't seem to hear me, he continued trying to take the book from my arms as I struggled. "Look! Ugh--Kakashi! If you get OFF of me, I will give the book back! Just GET OFF!" Luckily, this time the Jounin had heard me. He froze, then leaped up from my back. I get up as well with a hand on my back...stupid Kakashi...for sure it's going to be sore.
I glower at Kakashi, his revealed, brown eye sparkled with excitment and his hands were stuck out like a beggar. He had no shirt on, but he did have pants and his silver hair was messy, but still slanted to the side. "What do you want?" I asked coldly, knowing exactly what he wanted.
"The book!"
"...This book?" I held the hard cover book up, Kakashi's eyes widened and nodded, what a kid. "Hm. You want the book?" again he nodded rapidly. I glanced at the window, I guess Plan B will have to do. "Then here ya go!" I threw the damned thing out the unfortunately opened window. FWOOSH!
And there went the book.
"NOOOOOOOOO!" CRASH!
And there went Kakashi.
-------------------------------------------------------------- -
"Kakashi- san?"
Silence.
I sigh, was he still mad? It's his fault for jumping out of the cursed window! "You know, you could've avoided getting hurt if you just used the stairs! Besides, all you got was some bad bruises and scratches here and there." Still he continued to walk in silence. This was going to be a challenge.
"Natsuki- chan!" I look away from Kakashi to see Team 7. I smile and waved at them. Naruto come bouncing up to us with his team mate following him from behind.
"You're LATE again Kakashi- sensei!" Sakura points out the obvious....wait, again?
"Ano, Sensei, what happened to you?" the whole team looked at their bandaged teacher, a bandaid was beneath his eye, some bandages were shown on his neck, and some of his fingers and palm have been wrapped as well.
"I got into a bloody fight on the way here! There were so many ninjas! But see I am alright now." 'What?! He didn't get into some fight! He jumped out of a window! ' Kakashi was smiling, his eye curved as he spread out his arms, indicating the many ninjas part of his excuse.
"...I guess it's believeable..." Sakura says slowly, looking at all the 'battle wounds'. Sasuke was emotionless, as he too looked at the scratches and bandages.
"Seems kind of suspicious." he blankly states, eyeing his teacher doubtfully. Kakashi chuckles nervously, scratching the back of his neck.
"Ma, don't treat me so harshly now, Sasuke!"
"You deserve it...." I mumble lowly, only Kakashi had heard it for he had given me a quick glare.
"Anyway, let's start training--"
"HATAKE KAKASHI!"
Kakashi groans in disappointment, "If it's not one thing, it's the other." he says, fairly loudly while glaring at me. Of course, in response, I scowled at him back.
----------------------------------------------
"KAKASHI, MY ETERNAL RIVAL!" a man with bushy eyebrows in a tight green suit had run up to Kakashi and his group. His black, bowl haircut was shining from the massive amount of gel he had used to get it perfect, his grin was even brighter.
"What do you want, Gai?" Kakashi asked, sounding somewhat annoyed. So far he's been having a bad day, the last thing he needed was a crazed rival doing something insane.
"Have you forgotten?! We were suppose to meet today! Our score it 101 to 100! Course I am in the lead!" he smiles, his pearly whites shined once more, a thumb was up.
"..Can we do this later? I really don't--"
"Nonsense! Our rivalry is very important!"
"But I need to train my students-"
"Yes I do too! But see, I brought them along! That just shows you how dedicated I am!" Gai pointed at three teenagers, his students. One of them looked exactly like Gai, thick eyebrows, bowl haircut, green suit, and everything else. The second one had long dark brown hair and pale, milky eyes. His last student was a female that had brown hair that was in two buns, her eye were brown too. Yes, he had brought his kids. Kakashi lets out a deep sigh, he really was not up to it today.
Defeated, Hatake Kakashi nodded. "Good now let's--" he stops. Gai's eyes grow wide at the sight...the sight of...Kakashi. "What--Kakashi, why do you look like crap?! Even more crappier than any day!" Kakashi didn't have time to tell his story of the 'bloody fight', Gai had already took control of the spotlight, "HA HA! Lucky for you we do not win points for how we look, or else I would SURELY win todays match..in fact, I would win EVERYDAY'S match! HA HA HA!"
"Hm? Did you say something, Gai?"
"GAH! Kakashi your attitude is so hip! That's what makes you such a worthy rival!" Gai grabbed at his black mass of hair in anger of the defeat of 'hip-ness'. Kakashi snickers inwardly, he knew the 'What did you say?' attitude ticked off Gai, it brought joy to his heart just to see him so angry. "No matter! Today I shall not be defeated!" Gai then got into his 'good guy pose', the pose where he is smiling like some toothpaste commercial and has his thumb up.
"Sure."
"So what shall the challenge be today Kakashi?!" Gai yells, excitement filling his veins.
The fellow Jounin was quiet for a couple seconds then, he had an idea. He smiled mentally. "Today Gai, Natsuki- chan will help us in our feud." Natsuki, who was watching the whole thing gasped, 'What is he thinking!? ' the young woman thinks to herself as Gai, spins his head to meet her gaze.
All time had stopped, there she was. (This is Gai's view) The blue eyed angel stood there by Kakashi's students, raven black hair was let down to her waist, white skin emphasised her icy eyes. "MY LOVE!" with Gai's incredible speed, he had dashed to the woman, holding one of her hands without her even realising it. "We had finally reunited in the present life! Now you and I must aloft!" Kakashi held down his urge to burst out laughing, the expression on Natsuki's face was priceless.
WHAP! Ha ha ha...as Kakashi had presumed, Natsuki had punched Gai across the filed with her insane strength. 'Ah...What a good combo. Natsuki gets pissed and Gai gets whalloped. My day is getting better...'
As Kakashi helplessly starts laughing, the other 6 students were gawking at the woman who had punched a Jounin across the field. Their thoughts?
Naruto: 'EH?! Natsuki- chan!? GAI- SENSEI?! '
Sakura: 'Natsuki- san is...strong.'
Sasuke: 'Who the Hell is she...'
Lee: 'What power! She has defeated Gai- sensei in strength! She is truly great! '
Ten Ten: 'Awesome! She's just like Tsunade- sama! '
Neji: 'That was scary...'
Kakashi: 'Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha....*continues to laugh out of thoughts* '
Everyone stayed quiet, Natsuki was still in the position to punch.
Lee and Ten Ten, being worried, ran over to their unconcious teacher. "Gai- sensei! Are you hurt?"
Then, out of nowhere, unexpectedly, "Thank you Ten Ten and Lee for being so conerned! But do not worry, it does not hurt! Because, clearly Natsuki- san had hit me out of LOVE!" the present crowd was gaping at Gai, he had a black eye, was missing some teeth, hair was a mess, and had a broken nose...you call that sight not painful?
He then quickly sped over to the person who had punched him, holding her hand once more. "See! I am worthy of your love, I can withstand your attacks of love!" he then pulled her into an embrace, "Marry me."
POW!
Gai hits a tree with a loud crack to the wood as Kakashi sheds tears of joy from laughing so hard, yes his day had gotten much better.
-----------------------------------
So how was it? Sorry it took so long...school is like next week...so yeah, busy with orientations and all. I probably won't get chapters out that quickly, like everyone else at FF.net that has school, work, and so forth. Well anyway, please review and as usual no flames =).
