I have had this idea for a fanfic for a while and I thought I should post the first chapter.

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoy it. :)

Please if you have time, I would be so thankful for reviews. I am new at writing and I want to improve!

Why the hell does my head hurt so much?

My eyes opened slowly, blinking a few times to get a clearer view of a ceiling. A stranger's ceiling. I turned my head to the side, wincing at the throb in my head, to see a large bookcase filled with books. Next to it was an open window letting in the morning sun and a slight breeze. Not recognizing anything, I raised my head a little to get a look at the rest of the room, realizing I was in a complete stranger's bedroom. And I was completely naked under the sheets.

Where the hell am I?

It was then that I smelled frying bacon coming from the open door leading out of the room. My muggy mind realizing I was not alone, I turned to the side and looked down at the floor, searching for clothes. I found mine neatly folded next to the bed, adding to my growing suspicion. Quickly and quietly getting dressed, I slowly stood up, watching the world tip and turn under me. Scowling, I began to realize what was wrong with me.

I'm hung-over.

I stood for a second, waiting for my nausea to go away. Did I really just wake up in a stranger's bed, with no recollection of last night, after having obviously had sex with them and sleeping in? I closed my eyes, half of my mouth lifting up into a disappointed smile, cursing myself for being so stupid and reckless. I should know by now what alcohol does to me… Thoroughly embarrassed at myself, I looked over at the window, contemplating whether or not I should just escape now and save myself from the beyond awkward apologies. I cannot believe I can't even remember who I spent the night with… I really do have a bad drinking problem.

"Finally awake?" said a smooth, deep voice coming from the open door. I jumped and snapped my head in the direction, meeting the eye of none other than Hatake Kakashi, the famed copy ninja. My eyes wide, I saw him lean on the door, one hand on the handle and the other holding a frying pan. He wore nothing but his boxers, a tight muscle shirt, and his face mask. His single open eye looked relaxed and a bit amused as he took in my 'deer in the headlights' expression. It took all my strength not to hang my mouth open at the sight of this world-renowned ninja leaning casually in nothing but his PJ's. Being an idiot, the most intelligent thing I could think to say at that moment was,

"That bacon smells good." I mentally cursed myself, my cheeks heating up as I watched him smile from under the mask. His posture was so relaxed, and mine was as tense as ever. I closed my eyes and dipped my head, bringing a hand up to massage the growing headache in my forehead. I somehow summoned the courage and looked up at him again, an apologetic smile forming on my lips. He beat my apology by saying,

"I made a lot, and I hope you like waffles." With that and a smile, he turned and walked out of the room, leaving me to try to comprehend his words in my cloudy mind. Still not fully grasping the ridiculousness of the situation, I decided to stay safe with the state my mind was in and focus on something that made sense.

Waffles.

I took a deep breath in, trying to calm myself, and only succeeded in smelling the delicious food coming from the door. Realizing how hungry I was, I slowly crept my way to the door, the smell of cooking breakfast reeling me in. I stopped at the door frame and peeked through, beholding a sight that made me wonder whether I was still sleeping or not. Kakashi, deadly ninja of the Leaf, was in a kitchen frying eggs with one hand and reading an orange book with the other. Orange book… Icha Icha! I've read that before! And with that connection, a host of memories came flooding back into my mind, making my blush intensify. I still didn't remember everything from last night, but I remembered being drunk and talking to Kakashi about that book, that porn book, and telling him how it was one of my favorite reads…

"You mind pouring the batter into the waffle maker? I'm almost done with the eggs," Kakashi asked casually, bringing me back to reality. Not trusting my voice, I walked over to the counter and did as he asked. I looked sideways at him, still not believing my drunken self had actually had a conversation with him regarding the very graphic sex book he held in his hand. God damn it, Lyra. I closed my eyes and shook my head, a hopeless smile forming on my face. Well, hell. Might as well make the best out of this confusing situation as I can.

Waffles.

I opened my eyes and looked over at the preoccupied ninja. "You have any chocolate chips?" I blurted out. I blinked and before I could apologize for my hangover rudeness, he looked over at me and met my eyes with his amused one.

"Right above you, left cupboard. Throw some in for me as well." I blinked again and smiled, reaching up to grab the bag of chocolate chips. I poured an overly generous amount onto the waffle batter out of habit, cringing as I continued to muck up this morning with even more rudeness. I liked my waffles completely covered in chocolate, but some people can't handle them that chocolately. I looked over at the ninja putting some eggs and bacon onto a plate and he turned towards me, his eyes crinkling in a slight smile as I stared at him. He handed me the plate and before I could thank him he said,

"There's orange juice and water in the fridge." I took the plate, giving him a thankful smile before he turned away to get his own plate.

"What do you want to drink?" I asked him, feeling I should be helpful since he was giving me food. The word 'drink' surfaced another memory of last night, of me getting highly intoxicated next to Kakashi in a bar and… Oh my God.

"I'll take water. The cups are above," he responded and pointed above the fridge while still reading his book. I opened the fridge, my body totally running on autopilot while my mind was in turmoil. The things I did last night… I closed my eyes and shook my head. I glanced up at the waffles as the beep went off and cringed as Kakashi went over to open them up. A deep chuckle shook his shoulders as he saw my chocolate covered waffles.

"Finally someone gets it right," he said, looking over at me and smiling from under his mask. My eyebrows rose and I smiled back as I replied,

"Sorry, old habits. But really, that should be the only way to eat waffles." He put one waffle on his plate and another on mine. "Thank you for the food," I got out, smiling at him with an apologetic face. His eyebrows rising, he looked surprised at my humble thank you. Well it's no wonder why. I turn into a confident bitch when I'm drunk. I can't believe he's being so kind to me…

"It's no problem. It's nice to eat waffles with someone else once in a while," He replied. He turned away with his food and drink and began eating from the counter. Respecting the man's privacy, I turned away too and took a bite out of the chocolate waffle.

"Mmm…" I moaned with a smile. "There exists nothing better on this world than a fresh chocolate waffle." I heard him 'Hm' his agreement behind me, and it just hit me then that I was having a casual conversation with an attractive man, in his underwear, in his kitchen, about waffles, the morning after…

"I may have to have you make another one for me," I heard behind me, and I swallowed my bite to reply,

"I'd be happy to. But you know, you have enough batter for two more waffles, and I'd just hate to see you have to waste it…" I looked over at him hopefully. He turned his head to glance at me with his one eye. I watched his eye crinkle from a smile as he said,

"Make yourself one, too. And use as many chocolate chips as you wish." I smiled widely in thanks.

"That was an unwise decision, giving me unlimited access to your chocolate chips," I warned him playfully, finishing off the food from my plate. I walked over to turn on the waffle maker again. I looked up to see him also done with his food, watching me plug in the waffle maker with an amused expression. He picked up his book again, flipping to a page as he waited for the waffles. I settled my hand onto my hip, wincing as I felt a pain. Pain? On my hips?

I have bruises on my hips.

I decided the time had come to bring up last night, and I swallowed my nerves and stared at the waffle maker.

"So Make-out Paradise. Good book. What chapter are you on?" I tried to ask casually, hiding the side of my face with a veil of hair. He paused.

"Well… You don't remember?" He asked hesitantly. I summoned the courage and glanced up to see his curious eye looking down at me thoughtfully.

"Not really… Last night is kind of a blur," I replied honestly. I noticed a slight blush peek out of the top of Kakashi's face mask as he deliberated. He smiled and looked down, closing his eye and chuckling after some thought.

"Well, I am in Chapter 7 of the book." He looked up as if that would help me remember. And then it hit me. Chapter 7… the chapter where… Holy shit. My eyes widened and my blush intensified even more. I had asked him the same question last night and he had told me Chapter 7. I remember now how we had replicated the, erm, events in the porn book and Chapter 7 was known to have the most challenging sex moves and positions of the entire series. I closed my eyes and felt my face half smile and felt a chuckle come from me. My hand reached up to scratch the back of my head and I opened my eyes to see his amused one looking at me.

"It must've been an interesting night then," I got out, smiling and shrugging.

"I would have to agree with you," Kakashi said, chuckling softly. The waffles beeped and we both eagerly got our waffles and began eating like before. My brain was busy trying to piece together all the events of last night leading up to this morning. This morning after has to be the smoothest morning I've had with anyone before.

"Thanks again for the food, Kakashi," I spoke behind my shoulder. "I'm Lanyra by the way, in case I had forgotten to tell you that last night." I spoke lightly, finally feeling a little less uncomfortable with this calm man. The waffles are probably helping.

"It is no problem, Lanyra." He responded just as casually. "Help yourself to more if you're hungry, I'm going to grab a shower." Kakashi placed his plate in the sink and looked over at me as he finished his drink. He closed his eye and smiled under his mask before he turned to his bedroom and left me alone in his kitchen.

So is this the part when I leave? I can't tell. This morning has been so smooth and the guy I spent the night with actually cooked me breakfast. Like when does that ever happen? I looked around the kitchen and decided I might as well help clean. I grabbed my dishes and the frying pan and waffle maker and turned on the hot water in the sink. My mind finally clear again, I realized how long it had been since I had last eaten with utensils. I had just gotten back to the Leaf Village last night for the first time in a long time. It had been so long that my old classmates hadn't even recognized me. Well no shit. I've kind of been gone for what? 6 years now? Late last night I had realized I was finally home in my village but without an actual house or apartment to return to. That had been what had led me to the bar.

I was drying the last plate with a towel I found hanging when I felt a strong and energetic chakra approaching from outside the house. I heard a loud bang on the front door. At a loss of what to do, I waited for another bang. This time I heard the door come crashing through and I looked over to see a tall man in a green jumpsuit strike a standing pose as he regarded the room and kitchen with an unnerving smile. He took a large breath in to yell,

"Kakashi! You are now two hours late for our training session! That means two hours worth of walking around the village on our hands for our warm up routine!" He stopped yelling when he saw my startled expression and his eyes widened under his bushy eyebrows. "Well I didn't see you there, little miss. Have you seen my rival, Kakashi? We are meant to train today!" His energy rolled off of him like waves, awakening the rest of my deadened senses from the hangover. I mentally shook myself, trying to comprehend the increased ridiculousness of my situation. First I wake up after a one night stand to eat chocolate waffles with a nice strange man, and now his rival comes barging into his house with the complete opposite personality as him and…

"Oh, good morning, Gai. Give me another minute to dress and we can go," said Kakashi from the door behind me. I looked around to see him standing in the doorway to his room with nothing on but his face mask and a towel wrapped around his waist. His wet hair was messy, sticking up everywhere, and his entire body was pale and fit with years of training and experience. His tall, lean form was chiseled with hard muscle along his arms, shoulders, chest and abdomen. Holy fuck he's hot.

"One more minute will be another hour hand walking around the village!" yelled the passionate man, seemingly named Gai. Kakashi waved a hand, letting him know he heard him, and headed back to his room to change. I turned to look at Gai again, wondering if he really intended to walk around the entire village on his hands. Gai looked down at me and smiled a sparkling smile while holding out a thumbs up.

"I haven't met you before, are you a friend of Kakashi's?" He asked, interested.

"Uhh..." I responded intelligently, reaching up a hand to scratch my head.

"I am Gai, the Green Beast of the Leaf, Kakashi's one eternal rival!" He announced proudly, sparkling another smile and winking. My eyebrows rose a bit and I held out a hand.

"Well it is a pleasure to meet you, Gai. I am Lanyra," I responded with my own smile. This guy must be fun to be around. Gai met my hand and gave me a firm shake, which I responded with an equally firm shake.

"Strong grip you've got there, Lanyra! You wouldn't happen to be a fellow shinobi, would you?" I felt myself smile a bit and was about to respond when I felt Kakashi's chakra enter the kitchen.

"Alright Gai, I'm ready" I heard behind me. I looked over my shoulder to meet the eye of the fully clothed Kakashi. He wore another long sleeved tight shirt with a green vest over it and standard ninja pants rolled up showing bandaged calves. Kakashi finished pulling gloves onto his hands, and his Leaf headband covered up his left eye. He met my eyes and gave me a slight smile and looked over at the sink, seeing everything clean. He looked over at me again with his eyebrows raised and said,

"Thank you for doing the dishes, Lanyra." He sounded a bit surprised and I wondered if I had overstayed my welcome. Most guys would feel super uncomfortable right about now. No one wants the girl to stick around for long. I usually leave before they wake up anyways but this time… My internal rambling was interrupted when I saw a genuine smile coming from under Kakashi's mask.

"Gai, this is my friend, Lanyra. Lanyra, Gai." Gai and I looked at each other and smiled again.

"I met your friend, Kakashi! But she isn't an excuse to be late for training!" He proclaimed, practically bouncing in eagerness.

"I don't know, Gai. The waffles we had this morning seemed worth it," Kakashi met my eyes and smiled. I responded,

"Damn right they were worth it. There is no better way to start off a day of training than with waffles," I joked knowingly, crossing my arms and smiling back.

"Well then let us be off already! We are losing the day!" exclaimed Gai, bounding towards the door with bubbling energy. Kakashi strolled after him, their opposite personalities exaggerating each other. He stopped at the door and looked back at me, seeing me at a loss of what to do. Before he could say anything, I blurted out,

"Can I come train with you guys?" Kakashi raised his eyebrows and Gai came back in to peer at me. "It's just that I am itching to get some energy out and I don't really know any good training grounds…" I stopped when I felt a pang in my head for getting worked up, and I subconsciously raised a hand to my forehead and began healing my headache.

"So you ARE a ninja! Well great the more the merrier! We shall sweat the day away and bathe in the energy of our youth!" Gai proclaimed, making a fist to show his determination and readiness. I smiled uncertainly and saw Kakashi give me a curious and thoughtful look. He pulled out Icha Icha from his bag and flipped to a page.

"Well, let's go then." Kakashi said casually while reading his book. I walked up to them and we exited Kakashi's house.

I looked up at the beautiful morning sun, smiling at the crazy turn of events. I closed my eyes and felt the breeze, breathing in the cool air and settling my nerves. I opened my eyes and looked over at the two ninjas.

"Point me in the direction and I will beat you guys there!" I challenged, smiling my excitement. Gai pumped his fist into the air, exclaiming,

"That's the way to start off a day of training!" He shook his legs out and took a deep breath. Kakashi looked me in the eyes and smiled interestedly, even storing his book in his bag and readying himself as well. I bounced on my feet and felt my smile grow even bigger. Gai pointed in the direction east and said,

"Ready?! Set?! GO!"

I am thinking about writing the next chapter in a different point of view. Maybe in 3rd person but centered on Kakashi. Please let me know what you think! Thank you so much for reading!
