This is my Naruto fanfic. You'll find out the rest soon enough.
Kida looked down forcefully at the ramen she was being served. She felt a slight rumble in her stomach. T'was true, she had not eaten for many days, training took up most of her time, yet she was using too much of her chakra and not improving very much. 'Go figure,' she thought grumpily as she shoved some of the food in her mouth. She spit it out, surprising the man behind the counter. "This tastes like tree bark!!!" The man looked down at the food. "You didn't order Sharmarian?" She looked at him incredulously, "What? No! I ordered ramen!" He picked it up hastily, "Sorry ma'am. We'll have that out to you in a second."
She sighed sadly. 'Kakashi always made the best ramen.' She sat up in surprise.
'Kakashi?? That guy from my ninjitsu training school?'
A tiny voice in her head said 'That guy? Kakashi was your boyfriend!!' She shook her head violently. The young man walked up with her ramen. "Sorry about the mix up ma'am."
"That's alright." She began eating the ramen. "You spoke of Kakashi?"
She looked back hastily to see three teenagers. Two boys and one girl it appeared. Each had a leaf-headband, proving that they were newly made ninja. She nodded. The boy with the blonde hair piped up again. "How do you know M-." He got elbowed by the girl and stopped abruptly. He finished quickly. ".Kakashi?"
She looked down solemnly. "I said that out loud then, correct?" The boy nodded. The black haired boy didn't say anything, but was listening intently while not looking at her, she observed. "Do you want the detailed version, or the simplified?"
The girl finally spoke next, "Detailed."
"It was about ten years ago.after the nine-tailed demon fox had been captured." This is what truly happened.
--FLASHBACK--
Kida had been accepted into her very first ninjitsu school, and was finally going to achieve her longtime dream of becoming a ninja. She had heard stories of ninja ever since she could remember. The talent, the glory, the very idea of changing the world and an inner source of magic was very becoming of a young mind. And now, on her thirteenth birthday, she was going to become a ninja.
She stepped onto the steps of the dojo when a boy hustled past her. "Shove off, girly. This is a dojo for REAL ninja."
She grabbed the back of his collar and flung him into the wall, glaring at him at a very close range while still holding his collar. "WHAT did you just say to me?" Luckily for him, just as he opened his mouth to say something (probably some smart-ass remark), a man grabbed them both by the scruff of the neck. She said nothing while the boy complained the entire time. "HEY! Let go! Does my neck look like a leash to you people?!"
After a few minutes of struggling, they finally reached the main room of the dojo. The boy, rubbing his neck, which was now red, looked up grumpily at the man, "What's the big idea anyways?"
He looked down at the boy, then at Kida, whom now was sniffling a bit and had a few tears in her eyes. "I will not have unarranged fighting between students. That may be different in other dojos, but not mine." Kida looked up at him innocently enough, "Y-Your Dojo? You mean you're."
"That's right, I'm the sensei of this dojo."
The next few days were days that never seemed to end. The boy, whose name she learned was Kakashi, was her one and only classmate. He really seemed competitive in just about everything. Little did either of them know that their sensei found this all very amusing, being as both of their parents wanted them specifically to find someone there that they could bond with, and that he should try to goose them along together. 'They're doing a much better job themselves than I could dream!!' he though laughingly. Both were exceeding much further than he had planned due to their stubbornness and hoping to get on his better side. And he knew that Kakashi was sneaking off in the middle of the night to fight with Kida, unusually quiet as the boy seemed to be. In fact, the night before he had heard this.
"-you'll NEVER be able to excel past me! You should know that Sensei likes ME better." Then he heard Kida's sleepy voice. Apparently, she had been asleep when Kakashi stormed in.
"Oh really? So I suppose he SAID that he liked you better?"
"W-Well, I'm sure he's not so he thinks that we know he likes us 'equally'. Oh fine." He heard a thump, meaning that he had flopped down on the floor. "Sensei probably likes YOU more." She had gotten out of bed; he heard her footsteps as she approached her door. "Don't apologize, it's unbecoming of you." By this time, Master Muchari had convincingly made it look like he was meditating.
She stepped out of her room and went to get a glass of water. "It is very late, Kida. You should be resting."
"I am sorry for interrupting you, sensei, but I was very thirsty sir."
"It is alright." She had begun to leave to her room again.
"One more thing, Kida."
"Y-Yes Sensei?"
"Tell Kakashi that his 'night-runs' should really be more quiet." He could already feel that she was blushing, and he smiled silently. She spoke again with a slightly cracked voice, "Y-Yes sensei."
After that, things were a bit different. The two students fought with honor, and achieved their dreams. They became ninja. "Kakashi! Kida! Come here you two." Both of them were fighting against Master Muchari. He was very worn out from this long exercise with them and had finally agreed on something. "Congratulations." He tied a headband around both of their heads. Kakashi touched it with a huge smile and Kida, against her formality training, hugged Master Muchari. "Thank you sir!"
A little tear formed at the side of his eye. He wiped it away, not wanting his students to see. "You both know you will be transferred to a higher school now, correct? Unless, you are planning to stay as normal ninja?" Kida shook her head, sad as it was. "I want to become the best and most experienced ninja in the world."
Kakashi grinned, as a joke that had formed over how they used to act. "I'll be. You know that." Master Muchari shook his head sadly. His two best and most favorable students had now become what they've always wanted. One of the key things about being a ninja's teacher was to never get attached, for you'd never want them to leave. Well, right now, he knew he had crossed that line. They looked up to him as a father now, and he didn't want to let them go. Kida looked at the worried and saddened expression on her teachers face. "We will come back, sensei. We promise, we'll come back."
--PAUSE--
She paused, taking a drink of her water before continuing.
--RESUME--
A short while after that, they were both accepted to a higher-class dojo. This dojo had many more students than the two of them, however, they seemed to stick together. Soon, they started dating. It was a few months later that they heard of the terrible news. "Kakashi, Kida, come here." They approached their new master, not sure why they were being called to him. Kida spoke first. "Yes sir?"
"I thought you two should know. Master Muchari is dead."
The color fell from Kakashi's face. Kida fell to her knees, shaking. Kakashi spoke with a broken voice. "But, how?"
"His dojo and the clan around it were attacked. There were many deaths, including your master. It was said that there were many of the enemy's dead surrounding him, so he put up a very good fight." He looked down at the shaking girl at his feet. "I am sorry."
The months passed long and cold. Kida spoke only to Kakashi, who felt the same pain as she. "I have not slept for days, my love."
"Nor have I, Kida." He shook his head. "He would not want us to behave this way."
Her face turned cold. "There are many things he did not want, Hatake." She looked at him, her eyes turned a dark blue. She shook her head violently. "I cannot stay here, Kakashi. I." She looked up at him. "We can never keep our promise."
He looked down, for he knew what she was saying. She was going to run. "Many years can change someone, how will I know even in twenty years, if it is truly you?"
She looked down, and grabbed his hand, pulling him into her room. She pulled out a kunai. "You shall know, by the scar I will forever bear." And before he could stop her, she made a slash over her right eye and down half of her cheek.
He pulled away the sword, and made a slash over his left. He hugged her tightly. "And this is how you shall recognize me, my love."
She ran away that night, from Kakashi's room. He watched her from his window, a few silent tears flowing down his cheeks.
--FLASHBACK END—
She wiped her left eye, and looked at the three. The blonde haired boy was the one who spoke. "What happened after that?"
"I went to a higher class of dojo, and became a shadow Ninja."
The girl piped up once again. "But you haven't seen Kakashi since?"
"By reputation only." She smiled a little. "He became quite the ninja."
A voice came from a booth where a man was hunched over the table. "And you became quite the storyteller." The man stood up. Kida gasped and dropped her glass. It was Kakashi.
She stood there, not quite believing her eyes. "K-Kakashi?"
He nodded. "Don't believe me?" He pulled down his mouth cover and pulled up his headband, revealing the deep scar over his left eye. She walked over to him, touching his hand. "How can this be?"
He smiled a little, and pointed to the three teenagers she was talking to. "These are my students. Naruto, whom you spoke to the most. Sakura, you can guess who she is. And Sasuke." She shook her head and laughed a little, hugging him around the neck. "I can't believe its you!!!!" He looked slightly surprised at first, but soon got over it and simply blushed to the three, who were simply smiling. even Sasuke.
Kida looked down forcefully at the ramen she was being served. She felt a slight rumble in her stomach. T'was true, she had not eaten for many days, training took up most of her time, yet she was using too much of her chakra and not improving very much.
