I started this fanfic six days before Christmas with a idea to just make a simple little Naruto Christmas fanfic to get in the mood for Chirstmas... but then ideas just kept coming to me and it wouldn't stop so then it came into a idea to be a fifteen chapter fanfic. Anywho, I think I am getting ahead of myself. Mission 1 was rather short, I know. But what can you do about it? Nothing. Muahahah! Anyway, the main point of this chapter was just to introduce Kyoki and make you wonder about her relationship with Kakashi. So yea... I hope you all enjoyed it. XD

Oh, and this fanfic is set slightly after the part 2 of the Chunin exams, at least I think it is part two. Well, anywho it's probably going to be during thier month of training before the last of the tests. So yea... I guess... then again, I don't really think this thing has a timeframe where it can be placed... on well...

I do not own Naurto or any of it's characters. Naruto rightfully belongs to Masashi Kishimoto. I do however own Kyoki, Yume and any other original character I threw in here...

Mission 1: Mysterious Young Woman

"Kakashi-sensei, what are we doing here for?" Naruto as he and his two team members walked into the clearing in the middle of the forest like their teacher told them too. "Are we going to have a cool mission? Hey! Where is he?!"

"He's going to be late as always." Sasuke muttered as he leaned against the nearest tree.

"We might as well make ourselves comfortable as we wait." Sakura said as she sat down a few feet away from Sasuke.

Naruto nodded and sat down was well. "I wonder how late he'll be late today."

"Who knows with him." Sasuke replied.

They sat there in silence for a few minutes. Sakura and Naruto jumped to their feet when they heard some movement. All three of them thought it was Kakashi, finally showing up. The bushes shuffled as the person came forward.

"Kakashi-sensei, you're finally here! You're here earlier than I thought. What-" Naruto stopped when he realized that he was not speaking to his teacher. Standing before them was a young woman with long brown hair and brown eyes. She had a Leaf headband tied around her arm.

"Heh? I'm not Kakashi-sensei. Since you thought I was him, are you three his students?"

"Yea, why?" Sasuke asked, looking at her suspiciously.

"Yahoo! I finally found you!" The stranger rushed forward and hugged them all in one big hug. They were all too startled by this to react to this odd behavior. She released them. "So you're Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura and Uzukami Naruto, correct?"

"Yep, that's us." Naruto smiled.

"Ah, this is wonderful. So where is Kakashi-kun. Did he tell you to come out here and now is late as usual?' She put one of her hands on her hips.

Sakura nodded. "Yea. How did you know?"

The woman laughed. "Because that is just how Kakashi-kun is like. Umm, I really need to talk to him, so you wouldn't mind if I waited here with you, do you? It's been really hard to track him down. And now I'm so close to catching him."

The three students each looked at each other. Sasuke shrugged while Sakura and Naruto said that didn't mind.

"Yahoo! Thank you." She smiled at them.

For the next hour the four of them chatted amongst themselves.

"I've head so much about you three."

"You have?" Naruto asked.

"Yep. I'm really impressed with you three. I hope my three students will become as strong as you three."

"If you have students, shouldn't you be training them?" Kakashi asked as he appeared behind the woman.

"So, you're finally here. For your information I let them have the day off because we did some heavy training these last few days and they are exhausted." The woman jumped to her feet. She whirled around, swinging her fist to slam into Kakashi's shoulder, but he knew her intent and blocked her.

"Don't I get a hello." Kakashi said as he looked down at her.

"That was your hello. And now this is your 'how do you do'" She said as she dropped to her knees, swinging her foot in front of her, trying to trip him, but he jumped backwards.

"You're holding back, why is that?" Kakashi wondered.

"I don't want to make a fool out of you in front of your students. They might lose their respect for you, ya know?"

Kakashi sighed. "You'll never change, will you Kyoki?"

"Hell no. The same could be said about you, Kakashi."

"Do either of you know what is going on?" Naruto asked Sasuke and Sakura.

"No..." Sakura said as she looked from Kyoki to Kakashi.

Sasuke shook his head.

"Excuse me, why are you two fighting?" Naruto asked.

Kyoki looked over at him and smiled sweetly. "You're so cute!" She rushed over and hugged him.

"Don't assault my student." Kakashi told her.

"I'm not assaulting him, I'm hugging him cuz he is so cute." She snapped as she continued to hug Naruto.

Naruto began to blush.

"The reason we are fighting is because us two grown-ups had a fight and now are rivals." She explained to them. She released Naruto.

"Oh, is it like the rivalry between him and Guy-sensei?" Sakura asked.

"The same as Bushybrows? No, not exactly." Kyoki answered. "It's more complicated than that and is a story for another time."

Kakashi sighed. "That is a story that they should be spared from."

"You're right. But if they want to know about it, I'm sure they will find out about it sooner or later... or something like that. Who knows, I might drink some sake and accidentally tell them. Who knows and who cares?" She sighed suddenly. She then bit her lip in thought.

"What is on your mind?"

"What do you mean?"

"You always bite your lip when there is something you want to say."

"Oh... um... I know me and you don't get along that well... at least not like we use too... but... could I... could I help you with your mission today? I heard about it and it sounded incredibly exciting."

Kakashi stared at her in disbelief. "That's it?"

Kyoki nodded slowly.

"Hmm... what do you say, Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke?" Hatake asked his students.

"Sure, I don't mind." Naruto said happily.

"Ok." Sakura asked, hoping she could find out what went on between between these two. Normally she wouldn't be so interested in something like this, but there was something that made it interesting to her.

"As long as we get the mission completed, I don't care."

"Yahoo!" Kyoki jumped in the air. "Thank you."

"So what is our mission Kakashi-sensei?"

"We're to go to Tanzuka and deliver some supplies back to the Leaf Village." He answered.

"That's it? I thought it would something cool and important." Naruto complained.

"Oh, don't worry. It is something very important. It may not seem like it at first, but it is. Trust me." Kyoki giggled.

"All right. Let's do it then!" Naruto said, getting excited again.

"Then let's do it." Sasuke said.

"Yea!" Sakura said.

Kakashi nodded. "Come on."

He led the way while the three others followed him.

Kyoki looked off into the woods and winked at apparently nothing when no one was looking...

Well, that was chapter one. I hope you all liked it... maybe... please let me know what you think. xD
