Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or its character. That right goes to Masashi Kishimoto. I do however own any made up characters in my stories unless stated otherwise.

This is my first time making a fan fiction, so I don't expect everything will go smoothly. I do appreciate any feedback, so please review, please. Also first time making first person.

Sorry this is taking so long but I thought of something that might make my writing a bit more unique. Whenever the main character thinks something, it'll be bold. Simple and effective.

Kittens, Ramen, and Iruka

"Time to get up," I told myself. "Iruka is gonna have a fit if I'm late again."

As I got up I took notice of my bedroom. My bed was next to the window, there was an oak dresser opposite of my bed, and the door was straight ahead of my bed. There wasn't much decoration except for an alarm clock on the dresser and a poster hanging next to the window. The poster displayed a dragon wielding an enormous shuriken with its razor-sharp jaws. The dragon itself stood guard over a burning temple. The rest of the apartment was just as plain. The living room only had a khaki couch, while the bathroom had a shower, toilet, a cabinet, and a full body mirror. I never really spent much time here anyway, so way decorate it, right?

I opened the top drawer of my dresser and fished out a gray shirt with a kunai on it and a blue pair of pants. I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and what not. I studied my reflection for a minute. It was a disaster. My black hair was as messy as ever. My were a bit red for brown eyes. My clothes didn't match at all, with each other or my light brown skin. I'm about 5 foot 6 inches, not really skinny or fat, weighing 120 pounds. Could be worse.

A walk to the academy later in Iruka's class

" Jose, what are you doing here?" Iruka asked with a confused look on his face.

" The same thing I always do on Friday mornings, school." I replied. " This isn't a trick question is ..." I stopped stunned by Iruka's laughter. " What?" I demanded.

" Y-you should really get a calendar, Jose!" Iruka blurted out. " Today's Saturday!"

" What!?"

" Don't worry we all make mistakes," Please don't make me listen to a speech! "Actually, I could use some help." Crisis averted. Wait...

" You need my help?"

" Remember the cat you were sent to track down last week."

" Cat..."

Flashback

" I got you! " I roared as I tackled the orange cat into submission. " After two days of tracking and scratches, I finally found you. Wait... breathe! Breathe! "

" meow.." It was barely noticeable, but it was there. Note to self, don't tackle cats with all my strength.

End of flashback

" ... Oh yeah. It's not hurt is it?"

" No," Iruka gave me a what-are-you-hiding look, " The cat ran away again and I was asked to find it."

" And you want me to find it," Iruka nodded, " while you do what exactly?"

Iruka suddenly turned tomato red. " I have..."

" Sorry I missed that,"

" I have a date ,"

" Your going to have to speak up."

" I have a date, okay?"

" Oh jeez, why didn't you say so earlier? OK."

" So you'll help?"

" Of course." I don't have anything better to do, now do I?

" Great! Here's the mission paper. If you find the cat, I'll be at the ramen shop." Without another word, Iruka vanished with, leaving nothing behind.

After 4 hours of searching on the outskirts of the city, Jose finally picks up a trail of footprints.

This took way less time than the last time. Walking fast without making a sound, I soon found myself in front of a tree. There was a small hole in between the roots. After kneeling down, I couldn't believe what I saw. In front of me was a litter of six kitten! Now how am I going to carry you. I wished I had learned how to make a shadow clone, but nooo I wanted to know what type of chakra I had. Well there's no helping it. I took of my shirt. The chilly wind felt rather nice after hiking all this way.

I scooped up each kitten as gently as I could until the mom cat was left. Luckily, she was sleeping. I lifted her and put her on my shirt and walk briskly away.

At the ramen bar

" Don't take it too hard Iruka," Teuchi, the ramen guy, said.

" She could have at least stayed for dessert." Iruka moaned.

" You did take her to a ramen restaurant on your first date."

" Who could possibly hate ramen." Teuchi sighed.

" Iruka! I... found cat... kittens... shirt!" I tried to explain everything at once.

" Calm down Jose and..." Iruka's eyes widened as he notice the kittens. " This is amazing! I'll take them to their owner right away. You can have as much ramen as you want. From now on, it'll be my treat." Without another word, Iruka snatched my shirt and disappeared.

" He just took my shirt." I stood there with an open mouth.

" Give Iruka a break, kid." I barely noticed the old man there. " He's going through a lot. Here, take these cup of noodles home. My treat."

" Thanks, I guess."

" Hurry along now, you might catch a cold." I'm bare chested! Better go before anybody else sees me. I made my way home half naked with a dozen cups of noodles. Little did I know that my adventures were just beginning.

I hope you guys enjoyed the first chapter. I'll try to get as many uploads as I can (mostly in the weekends).
