CHAPTER ONE. ROOMIES.

Okay. This is my first fanfic, so give me a break guys! I really wanted to do something with Kakashi in it… I mean, he's just such a fun guy to write, but I really didn't want to pair him up with someone else from Naruto. So, I decided to pair him up with a made up, but don't worry! I am definitely going to put other Naruto characters in it.

DISCLAIMER: Okay, I don't own Kakashi, nor anything or anyone from Naruto. It'd be sweet if I did, though. I do, however, own Aki.


"Wheee! I'm a ninja!" I shouted. Gah… I had been having too much sake that night, but really, what else was new? I didn't have any responsibilities and it wasn't like I had the time to nurse the hangover that would surely come tomorrow.

"Sure you are," Kakashi muttered as he carried me back home. Ah, good Kakashi, always looking out after me. I think I love this man… Oh hell no. I did not just think that!

"No, really. I am. I can prove it! Let's fight!" I shouted and then started giggling. Oh wait, how rude of me! I haven't introduced myself… Well, I guess we better start from the beginning.


My name is Aki Yoshiko and I am, of course, a ninja. No! I'm seriously! I wasn't joking back there! Anyway, I'm a jounin. How'd I come by Kakashi Hatake? Good question… You see, it all started about two weeks ago.

I was on my way back from a mission, when I decided maybe this would be a nice time to, you know, live somewhere. You see, I was constantly on missions because I really did nothing else. I had the title of jounin and I wasn't about to let that go to waste. I never taught because I have no patience for genin. They just annoy me. Therefore, I never got a house in our dear little town of Konoha.

I was getting tired of always being on missions. Tired of people staring at me like I didn't belong in the village. I always got that look when I came back. Few people know of me. So, there I was, looking for a house.

I didn't want my own. Why would I? I'd probably leave soon anyway. So, I thought that getting a roommate would be an extremely good idea. So, I went looking for a place. I had been looking for somewhere, ANYWHERE, for about two days. I was about to give up, and then I found Kakashi.

I was just looking for the newspaper and I saw an ad. The place sounded perfect and the current resident didn't sound too bad either. So, I went to check it out. I felt uneasy as I approached the door. Who knows if this was just some trap? My hand slid down to my kunai. No one was going to hurt me. With my free hand, I knocked on the door.

"Just a second!" A male voice from the inside yelled. Ah great. It's a guy… A heard a few rustles from the inside and then the sound of someone running towards the door. I swear! He flung that door open so hard, it almost came off the hinges, "Yes?"

"I'm looking for a Kakashi Hatake." I replied and then put my kunai away. He didn't look too dangerous, but I really couldn't tell. The guy wore a mask, as well as his ninja headband. I couldn't tell, but I think he's old. Grey hair. I looked him over… That's when I saw the copy of 'Make Out Paradise' in his hands. Dear God… What have I gotten myself into?

"That's me. And you would be?" Kakashi questioned.

"Aki Yoshiko. I saw your ad in the paper." I replied, trying to keep it as short as possible. He opened up the door and moved aside so I could come in.

"Please, come in Aki-san." He smiled. I think he smiled. I don't know. His eye looked happy. Well, anyway… I went in. It was a pretty decent place and besides the old pervert, I could see myself living there.

"So, how soon do you think I could move in?" I asked. I know I should have maybe told him that I'd consider it and give him a day or two to think it over, but I really needed a place to stay.

"Whenever you want. I'll even help you move your things in." Kakashi told me.

"Not necessary. I have everything I need." I said and then dropped my backpack on the floor, "So… How's this going to work?"

"Well, I'll expect you to help pay for food and any bills concerning the house. The spare room is over there and that will be your room. I'm not around a lot and all I ask is for you to stay out of my room." Kakashi explained and then sat down on the couch.

"Sounds great." I offered him a small smile and then made my way over to the spare room after picking up my backpack. As I entered the room, I once again disposed myself of the bag and then flopped down on the bed. I was tired, but I felt this urge to get up and do something. I was so happy I finally found a place to stay.

I sat up and started to ponder. Maybe I should go join him outside? Or should I just leave him to his porn? I don't want to seem rude by just going in the room and not coming out to express my gratitude. Oh, dirty thoughts. Not that way. Maybe I could make him dinner or something. I don't know. What did I get myself into?

Against my previous thoughts, I got up and joined him outside. My past fears of him doing something that I really didn't want to know about were, fortunately, false. I sat down on the couch and watched him for a little while.

"Sooo… What's up with the mask?" I asked. He looked up and laughed.

"That's none of your business, roomie." He told me. I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Oh yes it is. I'm living with you now. I think I have the right to know what deformations lay under that mask."

"I assure you, there is nothing under this mask that concerns you."

"How old are you?"

"I'm 26, thank you very much." Ooops. He sounded offended.

"Gee, no need to get touchy! I mean, you have grey hair and your eye kind of looks old."

"Well, maybe it's getting tired of looking at you."

"Ouch. Listen, I don't think we need to start this relationship off with a fight."

"You started it. And who said anything about having a relationship?"

"We live together. Like it or not, our lives are definitely not going to be separate." I told him, then bit down on my lip as he stood up. Did what I said really offend him that much? I'm not trying to hurt his feelings. I swear.

"If you'll excuse me, I have a couple of genin I must go and teach. I'm already fifteen minutes late." He told me and then pulled on a vest and tucked his book into it.

"My, my… You must be some teacher." I said sarcastically.

"If you want to come, you could have asked." Kakashi told me and started walking out.

"Huh?"

"I said, you can come if you want." He repeated. Well, not really because that's not what he said in the first place. I shrugged and got up. What else did I have to do? It's not like I'd really have to do any work. Just watch. And torture my new roommate. Wuahahaha.
