Chapter 1 What?
Tsunade looked over the papers that filled her desk, sighing in defeat she yelled for Shizune. Running in from the hall way the girl held numerous files and books in her arms.
Yes Lady Tsunade?
Where is the paperwork on Kakashi mission today?
Oh, I put in right on top. Shizune pushes papers aside, shifting files and books from one side of the desk to the other. Feeling defeated she glances down at the destroyed desk scanning the layers of papers with her eyes, she notices a large S on the paper under Tsunade tea cup. Smiling brightly she leans over the desk lifting the cup she grabs the paper.
Hear you go. She says with a large smile handing the paper to her elder
Huh? Oh thank you, I knew you could find it.
Hearing a light tapping on the door, Tsunade looks up from the mess that is her desk.
Ah Kakashi, please come in.
Walking towards the Hokage's desk he stops feet from it staring down at her.
How can she work like that, it's a mess!
Here is your mission sheet. Tsunade says handing Kakashi the paper.
He looks is over, What is this stain? He asks pointing to the tea ring left by her cup
Oh its nothing, anyway, since you will be gone for a month, I've called someone in to train your students. And since we are short on apartments, the Junín will be staying at yours. She says her hands clasped under her chin
What! Why my place?
Like I said, there are no others apartments available, and I am not putting her up in an Inn for a month!
It's a women too! He says lowering his head grabbing the bridge of his nose.
Great I'm going to come home to fluffy pillows and frilly curtains.
Yes, you're just going to have to deal with it. Her apartment should be ready in 3 weeks, until then she's stuck at your place. Now go your giving me a headache. Tsunade says motioning for him to leave.
Kakashi folds the piece of paper, placing it in his pocket. Turning on his heels he exits her office leaving for his mission.
Glad you could make it Karasu. Tsunade says with a large smile
In front of the desk stands a woman of average height, slender but strong build. Blonde hair frames her face trailing to her back; the color of her eyes tends to get you lost in them they are an extremely pale blue almost white. She wears kakis colored shorts and a tight white tank top, which almost washes out on her vanilla colored skin. The snow country emblem is tattoo in blue on her left bicep indicting ANBU from that country.
I am much honored you asked me to come, Lady Hokage. Karasu says with a deep bow
Oh please none of that, here is the address and keys of your apartment; unfortunately you'll only be there for 3 weeks while we get you your own place. This one is on loan from the Junín you are substituting for. Once he's back you'll have your own place then you can start in the Medical Core. Here are the files of his students, there are three all genin. Oh you'll need this, She says handing her a new Forehead protector the files, keys, and address.
Would you like help finding the place?
No it's ok; I'll wonder around and see the rest of the village while I find it. She says tying the new protector in place.
Suit yourself. Tsunade says with a smile
Karasu bows to Tsunade, smiling she turns and leaves her office.
After several hours she finally coming to the address on the paper, Karasu looks up at the tall building.
And of course he lives on the 5th floor. –Sigh-
Opening the front door she stands in awe at the amount of stairs that lay in front of her. Gulping Karasu begin the long walk up the mountain of stairs. Breathing heavily she finally reaches the top.
Next time, no pack that contains my life!
The one loan doors stands off to the side, the dimly lit hallway is sort of spooky.
How can it be so dark, it's afternoon?
Unlocking the apartment door, she walks in slowly. Sunlight brightly fills the apartment; she walks into a living room which contains a couch, table, chair, and bookshelf filled with books of various shapes and colors. Closing the door she puts the files on the table and lays her pack next to the couch. Inhaling deeply, she smiles slightly she always loved the smell of men, well, clean men. The kitchen is attached to the living room on the left, extremely basic and very clean nothing but a kitchen table with four chairs, and various containers on the counter top.
Hmmm I think he likes organization. Everything is in the perfect spot, reminds me of home.
Leaving the kitchen Karasu walks down a small hallway, the bathroom is on her right. Turning on the light the bathroom is large, full size tub with shower, double sink, with a vanity, toilet and linen closet. Shutting off the light she continues down the hall to the bedroom, in it lays a queen size bed with a shuriken covered blanket and four pillows, a small plant sits on a window sill with two picture frames, a dresser, a nightstand with various orange books piled in a small tower, full length mirror, desk and closet door. Walking to the window she picks up one of the picture frames, it contains Kakashi and team 7. Placing it back down she grabs the other photo, a younger version of Kakashi with his old team mates.
Hmmm I guess this must be the grey hair guys place.
Returning the photo to its home, she places a finger in the dirt of the plant.
Still moist, he must have watered it before he left, Note to self water plant.
Turning towards the bed she sees the small tower of neatly stacked orange books. Picking one up she turns it over to read the back.
Come Come Paradise, never heard of it, looks interesting.
Placing the book neatly back on the pile she returns to the kitchen openly the refrigerator. She stands in shock
There isn't one thing in here! How does this guy survive! Well guess I have to go shopping, I think I saw a store a little ways away.
Closing the door, Karasu grabs the keys off the table heading to the store.
Returning from her productive grocery excursion, Karasu breathes heavy as she opens the door to the apartment carrying numerous bags. Kicking the door closed with her foot, she blindly makes her way to the kitchen counter. Emptying the bags and putting the food away she grabs a peach and walks over to the couch. Sitting hard she takes a bite of the juicy fruit. Grabbing the files that sit before her she opens the first one.
Naruto Uzumaki, Hmmm doesn't seem like this sensei of theirs likes to keep notes. –Sigh- I'll just have to figure out their abilities myself. At least I'll know what they look like and their names.
Sasuke Uchiha, didn't I hear something about his clan?
Sakura Haruno, she's cute. Wonder how the boys react to her?
Well I think I'll fix this place up to my liking, take a shower and go to bed.
Walking over the hill to the training ground, Karasu notices three pre teens standing around.
Well hello there, you must be Team 7?
We are but, who are you? Sakura asks
Oh I am sorry, I'm your new Sensei. Karasu says with a wave
New Sensei?! What happen to Kakashi Sensei? Naruto yells clenching his fists.
Nothing, he's just going to be gone for about a month, so I'm just filling in for him. I hope that's ok? Lady Tsunade thought it would be fine, rather than you guys having no sensei for a month.
Naruto calmed down, and looked at the others. Sakura held her hands together in front of her, and Sasuke just leaned on a tree with his arms folded.
Are you a Junín? Sasuke asks not looking up from the ground
Yes I am. So who wants to show me what they got? Karasu says with a smile. Your sensei doesn't seem to like to write things down so I need to see what everyone is capable of. Who wants to go first?
I will. Sasuke says
You always get to go first. Naruto yells
Ok then, Naruto you can be first. Karasu pipes in
What? Really? He says with a puzzled look
Sure, come on now; come at me like your going to kill me. She says backing onto the field.
I can't believe there's a woman living in my apartment. Kakashi says to Pakkun as they jump threw the trees.
Maybe she'll make it more, women friendly, if you know what I mean. Pakkun answers him
I know what you mean and I don't need help in the area, thank you very much.
What do you mean you don't need help, when was the last time a women came to your place? Pakkun asks
Okay so it's been awhile, but it's not like I haven't been asked. Kakashi answers jumping to the next branch
Besides why does it matter, there's probably some sexy Kunoichi sleeping in your bed. You should be thrilled!
Doesn't exactly thrill me if I'm not there; what if she's…fat. Kakashi shudders at the thought
How many fat Kunoichi do you know? Come on Kakashi, jeeze. Pakkun growls at him
None acutely, good point, maybe it will be easier thinking she's hot…nope didn't work. I'm getting this mission done early and getting her out of my place.
What are you going to do with her? Kick her out on the street? Pakkun asks
No I can't do that…can I? No, I'll just…pay for her to stay at the inn, that's it. Kakashi said excitedly
Wow that's going to cost you, you're so pathetic. Pakkun states gaining speed on Kakashi
Sighing Kakashi thinks about his apartment, all messy and…pink, he shakes the images out of his head.
This is going to be the longest 3 weeks of my life!
