Kakashi love story

Chapter One

Ritsuka looked upon her new sensei timidly, though her vision was obscured by the sun that poked through the trees above. She had never met someone from outside of her small village before. He was very tall, which was the first thing she noticed as she vaguely wondered if all outsiders were this tall? He also had crazy white hair, was this another trade of people from Konoha? His dopey grin made his eyes screw up slightly, which seemed to suit his roundish face. Apparently, he was one of the best in Konoha, and her parents had requested he trained their daughter to become a shinobi of sheer excellence. He bent down closer so he was at her eye level.

"So! You must be the Ritsuka-chan?" he ruffled her hair, earning a small blush to appear on the young girl's cheeks. He laughed lightly as he stood back to his normal, towering height. "Well, we'd better get started!" he gestured for Ritsuka to follow him away from her parents. Her mother nodded curtly at her as she turned a questioning look towards them. Sighing, she followed the bizarre man.

They walked on into the forest, thankfully away from watchful eyes. His sudden movements were something Ritsuka was going to have to grow accustomed she had mused as she stiffened when her strange new sensei spun round, and promptly sat on the ground, his grin still plastered on his face. "So, Ritsuka-chan, why don't you tell me a little about yourself?" she looked at him puzzled, her head tilting in a cute manner.

"What would you like to know?" She replied in a small voice. Her parents had not mentioned there would be a test! Her sensei chuckled.

"Well, your likes and dislikes, hobbies and interests, stuff like that." He lay back with his hands behind his head as Ritsuka continued to stand; he had not instructed otherwise.

"Well…" she had never been asked this kind of question before. "um… I like to learn, I guess, and uh… helping others?" she stopped, trying to think of a good answer. "I don't really dislike anything. When I'm not studying I'm being trained, and when I'm not training, I'm either eating or asleep, so I don't really have time for hobbies." She screwed her face up; trying to think of anything she had missed out. "I'm interested in perfecting my skills so as to be able to put them to some good use, and prove to everyone that I can do something." She finished with a face of determination though she felt she could have done better, if she had been prepared. Her sensei sat up and looked at her.

"Hm… interesting. So you don't have any hobbies? Wow. Everyone has to have a hobby! Well during training, I'll have to find you one." He smiled as he got to his feet. He walked over to Ritsuka, and bent down to her level again. "I hear you have already been taught some fighting skills. Do you mind if we try them out?" Ritsuka shook her head.

"Hai! Sensei!" she replied surely, though her blush returned.

"Good, good! Right well, you stand over there, and I'll stand over here. On my count, you are going to attack me. Try and take me down using any means you like. Okay?" he smiled goofily again as he awaited Ritsuka's reply.

"Hai! Sensei!" they went to their previously mentioned posts, and her sensei counted to three. Ritsuka jumped into action, mind filling with strategies. She forced chakra down her body, and directed it out through her feet, effectively increasing her speed. On reaching her sensei, she pushed out in another burst of speed, diving behind him, and striking him from the back. He caught her leg, surprised by her methods. She twisted her body so that her other leg struck downwards this time, but was again stopped. She jumped back, reviewing the situation. He was much taller than her, which gave her the advantage of getting in and out of reach quickly. She would stay low when near him, and watch his legs. She then jumped into a nearby tree, hiding herself. She lowered her chakra so that she could not be sensed. Her sensei smirked when he felt her presence disappear.

"Ah. I see you have come very far. Your father was right. You are going to be fun!" he however continued to stand patiently still, waiting for whatever Ritsuka was about to do. He was rewarded quickly by a soft kick to the shin, and a tap on the chin, as she appeared from the ground beneath him, jumping out of reach.

"I wasn't sure if I was to actually hit you or not, so I decided it best to just touch you where I would have hit you." Her face remained serious as she readied herself for any surprise attack. Her sensei laughed full heartedly as he looked upon his new student. It had been so long since he had been surprised by a child like that. He had deliberately not done anything, but still! And not only that, but she had not hit him with her full power encase she hurt him. Ritsuka looked at her sensei, who was now clutching his side, and wiping tears from his eyes. She couldn't believe it. Was he laughing at her!? Her bush returned with a vengeance.

"Oh dear! You are definitely talented, but when I said take me down, I meant it." he chuckled again thinking of how a six year old had felt the need to protect one of the legendary Sanin from herself. She couldn't be that strong, right? Ritsuka looked at her sensei, still not quite sure why he found the situation funny.

"Well I won't hold back then." the raw sting of humiliation tainted her voice as she launched into another attack before her sensei had time to realise she had moved. He jumped aside as a kick came for his head, and blocked a punch that was directed for his stomach. She had some power behind them for someone so small, though nothing for a man of his stature to be worrying about. She jumped back landing in a crouching position. Her sensei resumed his non-chelant pose as he looked down at her. That's when he noticed she had two different coloured eyes, one brown and one green.

Ritsuka darted to the side, channelling her chakra through her feet again, launching herself over the top of her sensei. As she landed on the ground behind, she kicked at his feet, missing, and jumped up catching her sensei's long pony tail. She used it as a rope, swinging round on it pulling her sensei off balance. He yelped in pain, holding onto his hair, trying desperately to free it from her grip. In his shock, he had lost his bearings of the situation, and didn't notice the foot headed straight for his face until it was far too late. It connected to both their surprise, and her sensei stumbled a couple of feet before sliding down the nearest tree.

Ritsuka ran over to her sensei to see him laughing again.

"A dirty fighter huh? Daddy didn't mention that." Ritsuka blushed for what felt like the millionth time that day, not realising there had been rules.

"I am so sorry!" Ritsuka said quickly before jumping down on all fours, and bowing deeply. "I thought you would have blocked and I didn't realise that the hair was a no go area. I over stepped my mark! I am so sorry!" she continued to plead. Her sensei was a little surprised. A cheeky smile crossed his face as he put his foot under her body, flicked it, and watched as she rolled over with a look of horror etched on her face. Her sensei laughed and lay down next to her, ruffling her hair again.

"Don't worry about it. I never set any rules, so it was allowed. I never realised you were so mean though." He faked a pout. Ritsuka looked at her sensei apologetically. He lay back again, with his arms behind his head, and stared at the canopy of leaves above them. In the short time they had spent together, Ritsuka had grown rather fond of her knew sensei. "So, I take it you're quite experienced in the old taijutsu then?"

She looked over to her sensei and nodded.

"My mother teaches me a lot. She just doesn't seem to have any time now, and feels that a change in style might help me to improve." Her sensei turned on his side so he was now facing the young girl.

"How long have you been training?" Ritsuka sat in thought for a moment before answering.

"Since I could walk really. But proper training didn't start until I was four." Her sensei nodded thoughtfully. He couldn't help but feel sorry for the girl.

"When do we meet again?" Ritsuka asked after a while of silence.

"I'll be seeing you once a week. Apparently you have a busy schedule!"

"Well we better get started then right?" she turned a cheeky grin towards her sensei as she flicked the tip of his nose with her finger. He rubbed his face looking a bit puzzled. "That's for flicking me with your foot!" she laughed and made a successful get away as her sensei tried to grab her.

"You know kid. I think I'm gonna enjoy teaching you!" she blushed at the comment and smiled.

"I think I'm going to like you teaching me!" Ritsuka chirped, happy for the relaxing atmosphere that surrounded her sensei, which was cut short as he took off after her, instigating a game of chase.
