Very, very old story that I've been working on for a long time. I currently have 13 chapters sectioned out in about 1-2 page intervals which will be released progressivly. This story has two parts so far, the second part is what I'm working on now so yeah. Depending on how it goes this may all you get for a while...
A loud knocking at her door causes Kina to jump slightly. She yanks open the door to find Kakashi standing there. Wait, what? Double take… "Yes?" Kina asks in a confused voice.
"You're eighteen." He says simply as if it's the most obvious answer in the world. Kina just nods, her birthday was last week in fact.
"So…"
"So it's about time you were married off." What…Double take…Triple take…Oh it's a quadruple take!
"Excuse me?" Kina says, looking at Kakashi as if he was missing his head.
"Seeing as your parents are both dead I will be taking on temporary guardianship."
"Wait, wait, wait!" Kina holds her hand up for him to stop. "You want me to get married?"
"That's right."
"To who?"
"Still working on that detail."
"What if I don't want to?" Kina muses while adopting a stuck-up attitude.
"You don't have a choice." He replies in a tone that made her realize she couldn't argue.
"Great…" Kina bangs her head against the door lightly.
"Just go put on something nice and meet me at the Academy in one hour."
"If you're late I'm coming back home." Kina warns as he walks away reading his book. "This has turned into an interesting day…" Kina sighs and closes the door.
One hour later
"Please tell me you're joking." Kina says tiredly, he said to put on something nice so she threw on a white shirt that wasn't stained and some tear free shorts, close enough... "Ow!" She cringes as Kakashi hits her 'lightly' on the shoulder.
"Pay attention."
"I am." Kina massages the spot where he hit her and glares at him.
"Don't do that, it makes you look unpleasant."
"I'm being forced to do this remember?"
"You could at least pretend to be happy." Kina sighs, he always said something like that knowing full well she would go along with it just to prove how good of an actress she was. It always worked, until today.
"If I throw a tantrum will you take me home?"
"No."
"Rats! Is there any chance of me getting out of this?"
"Seeing as there are more guys than girls in your age range, no."
"But…" Kina pauses trying to think of something. "Oh yeah! Sasuke and Naruto are gay."
"That may be but there are still more guys." Kina does a quick finger count. Crap, he was right. Finding no other excuses that might get her out of the situation, Kina wonders how easy it would be to move her things out of Konoha without being noticed. Just then Kakashi stops walking and she runs right into him. "I told you to pay attention."
"Sorry, wait. Where are we?" Kina looks up at the house they're in front of.
"The Nara household."
"WHAT?!"
"That was a close one…" Kina sighs as she continues to follow Kakashi.
"Well that still leaves five more stops." Kina starts thanking what ever lucky stars she may have, Shikamaru was already promised to Temari from the Sand Village so they didn't even have to go inside. Not that Shikamaru was intolerable or anything, Kina just really hated the idea of marriage and the fact she had no choice in it.
"So where are we going next?"
"Here." Kakashi points and Kina almost falls over.
"No…" They are standing in front of Hinata and Neji's house.
"Well come on." Kakashi ushers her inside. The next few minutes fly right by, Kina's poor mind can hardly keep up with anything. And before she knows it, they are leaving.
"What just happened?"
"Selection…"
"Uh-huh…"
"You go to each resident, have a small meeting. And then after every bride-to-be comes by they discuss the options and choose someone."
"Please don't use that phrase."
"What phrase?"
"Bride-to-be." Kina chokes out, trying her best not to be sick. Kakashi just smirks. "So I have to do this how many more times?
"Four." Kina almost falls over. Again.
"This is going to be a long day isn't it?" Kakashi nods and they make their way to the next place.
Heh, I had lots of fun writing the first couple chapters! Send good reviews and I might update faster...
