Chapter 1

It was normal day in Konoha and a very normal school day for Hatake Kakashi. He had just finished reading Come, Come Paradise and was planning to read it over again when a knock sounded on the door.

"Enter."

The third Hokage, Sarutobi, entered the room. Kakashi stood up. "Master Hokage," he acknowledged.

"I came here to talk to you of our new student," the Hokage said.

"My schedule's full. Three ninjas per teacher as was prearranged," Kakashi replied.

The Hokage looked up. "The parents specifically requested the best teacher," he countered.

"Give the child to Jiraiya then."

"I would if it was a boy but sadly, it's a girl."

"Then train her yourself."

"I would for she's such a charming child but I'm getting too old for training kids."

Kakashi sighed in defeat. "You would never be old but I'll train her. If she behaves well and proves to be a fast learner."

"Good," the Hokage said, smiling slightly, "I'll tell your students to bring her up. I think they're taken with her."

"You already knew I would agree." It was a statement not a question.

The Hokage smiled and goes out of the door. "Let's just say, I know you all too well."

Kakashi sighed and sat back down wondering why a child without any proper ninja training would automatically be assigned to a junin. "I didn't know politics also have a hand here in Konoha," he thought aloud.

Naruto entered with Sasuke. "Kakashi-sama," they said, "Master Hokage said we could have her as part of our group."

"Who?" Kakashi asked feigning innocence.

Naruto smiled. "Sakura, bring her in," he said.

Sakura entered with a girl of about ten years old wearing a white silk kimono with blue edging and a bright blue obi stitched with white birds. She has black hair, bright purple eyes and glasses.

"This is Inoue Asuka, Kakashi-sama," Sakura introduced.

"Konnichiwa Kakashi-sama," she said shyly.

Kakashi knelt before her. "How old are you, young lady?" he asked.

"Te—Ten summers," she replied.

"Tell me something, do you know how to use a shurikan?"

Asuka blinked. "Ne? Shurikan? Sorewa nandesu ka?"

Kakashi mentally sighed. This is going to take a lot of work, he thought.

Sakura turned to Asuka. "You don't know how to use it?" she asked.

Asuka shook her head sadly.

"I'll teach you," volunteered Sasuke.

"No," protested Naruto, "I'll teach her."

"Hah! You failed to pass the final examination three times. I should teach her," argued Sasuke.

"I've mastered it now," countered Naruto.

"Urusei! I'll teach her," Sakura cut in.

Kakashi looked at each of his students and sweat-dropped.

The three continued to argue and Kakashi finally decided to cut in. "You're just students. Leave it to the teacher."

The three stopped arguing. They looked at each other and smiled.

Naruto threw up his arms and headed for the door. "I'm going for some ramen. Who wants to go with me?"

Sasuke followed him. "I will!"

"I'll go too! Kakashi-sama, please watch over Asuka," said Sakura and she followed the two out.

Reduced to babysitter, he thought. "Asuka, why don't you sit over there and let's talk," he suggested, gesturing to the chair.

Asuka sat down and waited for him to start talking.

"Who are your parents?" he asked.

"Hotohori and Houki."

"Their names sound familiar," he said thoughtfully.

"Maybe because they live in Konan?" she suggested.

"Konan? You don't mean the Konan under Suzaku do you?"

"Exactly that Konan."

"So, are these Hotohori and Houki you're talking about the same as Emperor Hotohori and Empress Houki?"

"Hai," she nodded.

"I see," he said, "are you hungry?"

She blinked at the abrupt change of topic. "No," she said looking down.

"Then you won't object our starting your training now?"

"I don't think starting now or starting later will make a difference but as they all say, don't leave for tomorrow what you can do today," she said in one breath.

Quite a diplomat. "Ok. Let's go outside and start your training," he said leading the way.
