You were walking through the forest back to your village of Konohagakure or Konoha. It had been fourteen years since you had seen any of your friends. You've been traveling around with your godfather, Jiraiya, mostly. At times your god mother, Tsunade, would give you a break from him, because, as your god mother, she didn't want you to spend too much time with him, and him rub off on you. Although he got you to start reading Come Come Paradise, which caused Tsunade to pile drive him. You and Shizune could only watch at those moments. Anyways, your at the gates of Konoha when you see some of your old friends: Izumo Kamizuki and Kotetsu Hagane

You decide to play a trick on them. You three used to do that all the time. They would join forces; then Kakashi would always appear and be your partner. You pull your hood over your head and walk up to the gates, which were open. God everyone should feel so safe with the gates open, you thought sarcastically.

"Halt! Who goes there?" Kotetsu yelled at you so you'd hear him. You stop and just stood there a moment. Then you walk over to the desk like thing they were positioned at, right by the OPEN gate.

You stand in front of them with your still hooded head bent over as though you were without a mind. Although your head was down you could see their facial expressions well enough, yet they could not see your eyes. They both had tense looks; both were reaching for their kunai pouches.

You smirked and started to laugh, or rather chuckle rather evilly. You saw the now scared expressions that were plastered on their faces. Izumo demanded in a shaky voice, "W-Who are u!?" You slowly raised your hands to your hood. As you did so you could hear their hearts beating faster and faster.

Your hands finally found their way to your hood. You stopped for a moment to steady yourself. This was tremendously funny for you, and you could barley contain your laughter. You put on one of your smiles that could brighten a stadium of people who were grieving over their most loved of loved ones. You quickly pulled down the hood and straightened yourself. "Kotetsu! Izumo!" you squealed, "It's been fourteen years! I missed you guys! Especially scaring you!"

They both looked at you wide eyed. "B-Bethany!" they both stammered your name in utter disbelief. "Who else would it be? Man you shuda seen your faces! It was hilarious!" you said with a small laugh. That was enough to make Kotetsu blush. "Um uh B-Bethany, your b-back," he said as he stared at you almost in a daze. "You've... c-changed..."

"Aw, Ketsu-kun, no hug? Come on I haven't seen you in fourteen years! You too Zumu-kun." you said as you motioned for them to hug you. Izumo was first to jump over the desk and hug you. When he touched you Kotetsu got out of his daze and got a bit angry that Izumo hugged you, even though you told him to.

Izumo released you, and you looked to Kotetsu who was glaring at Izumo. "Come on Ketsu!" you said holding out your arms for him to hug you, but he just kept glaring at the ever more growing uncomfortable Izumo.

You put down your arms to stare at the pair. God what is wrong with you Ketsu? Used to we'd hug almost every day. Now that I think of it most of my male friends hugged me every day, or when ever i saw them...

The awkwardness finally annoyed you to no end, so you decided to take action. You walked behind the unsuspecting ninja and wrapped your arms around his waist from behind. He tensed and seemed frozen on the spot.

Compared to Kakashi your only about an inch, at the most, shorter. Which meant it wasn't hard to rest your head on Kotetsu's shoulder. "What's the matter Kotetsu? Didn't you miss me? I missed you greatly." you whispered in his ear with sadness in your voice.

He gasped and turned around so he could hug you back. His hug was so protective and wanting, wanting to never let you go. Wanting you to never leave again, and a third wanting that only he could fantasize about.

"Of course I missed you. I missed you more and more every second," he practically cooed to you. The way he said that surprised you. He said it almost like a lover would to a lover whom they haven't seen in a long period of time, or one who they want to forgive them.

Wow. Why is his tone so... So... Wanting? Almost like he... No, he couldn't. Not Kotetsu. He's one of my closest friends. He couldn't like me like that could he? Man I hope not, I just don't like him that way; I couldn't bare it if I hurt him in any way... This is just like Come Come. I guess Jiraiya's pestering to read his books, telling me they'd help me later in life, was a good thing, you think as Kotetsu's hold only tightens.

How long is he gonna hug me?! God Ketsu, are you shooting for a world record long hug or something? You thought to yourself once again. Izumo must have sensed your wanderings as he cleared his throat, very loudly might I add.

"Kotetsu, I'm sure Bethany wants to go report to Lord Hokage and meet up with everyone else," Izumo said. Kotetsu reluctantly let you go, very slowly. "I'll see you around later, Bethany?" Kotetsu said in a very soft kind voice. "Sure, I'll meet up with you later, um maybe for ramen or something? We'll figure it out later," you said then started to walk away. "I'll catch you guys later!" you yell happily as you backwards walked and waved to them. Izumo waved back as Kotetsu waved weakly, watching you until you had completely disappeared from sight.

"Man what is wrong with me?! I can never seem to get myself together around her! I'm such an idiot!" Kotetsu said as he repeatedly hit his head on the gate. "Come on man, just practice what to say or something," Izumo tried to comfort him as much as possible. "Yeah I guess..." was his only reply.

You were walking to the Hokage's office when you felt a very familiar chakra. It was your best friend. You clutch the necklace that was given to you by him and had some of his chakra. You smiled very brightly, and run in that direction to meet up with your best friend. You hid your chakra as best you could, which was very well.

You spotted your best friend and decided to play a prank on him. You were about to pounce into action when a blond boy ran up to him yelling "KAKASHI-SENSEI!!!! KAKASHI-SENSEI!!!!!!!!!!" Oh my God, you thought, he looks just like... "Come on Kakashi-sensei, you need to train me!!!!" you smiled at the small blond boy's enthusiasm.

"Hai hai Naruto I'm coming." Kakashi lazily said. Naruto? Thats what Jiraiya named him? Wait that name sounds familiar... wait! you look in your small pouch that could hold all your belongings. It was a mystic pouch that was almost like another diminution it couldd fit an infinite number of things inside. You dig around until you find the very first addition of Come Come Paradise. You skim through the pages to refresh your memory, and, sure enough, you remembered perfectly. Naruto was the name of the main character of the very first volume of the porno book. No wonder he wouldn't tell me his name! I'm gonna kill Jiraiya now! To believe he named my baby brother after a character in his porno book... No matter now, time to execute my plan.

(oh by the way I got that bit of info from wikipedia, Jiraiya is really Naruto's godfather because he named Naruto and it really was after the lead character in Jiraiya's very first book! its all in Jiraiya's bio X3)
