Hatake Kakashi, a 17 year old genius, of Konohagakure was making his way back home when he saw her. She had chocolate broen hair, with dark brown as. Kakashi could see a scar right onthe bridge of her nose. He was awestruck when she looked up at him. He wanted to run away but his feet just wouldn't budge. The girl made her way up to him and asked

" Ano..can you help me?"

" Huh! ye..yeah!" Kakashi replied snapping out of his trance

" Whats wrong" he asked

" Well you see the..Yelp...ahh.. daijobyo...you will be fine." the girl was interrupted by the sound and what seemed to Kakashi she started talking to herself. But then he noticed the little pup behind her, who was badly hurt.

" Ah...nani ga atta? (what happened)"

" I don't know, I just found it there when I was walikng by. Can you help me?"

" Yeah." kakashi held the pup close to him and took the girl's hand. Her hand was really soft and as he closed the gap between them, he could smell her hair, which smelt of cherry blossoms.

" Ano..." the girl was confused at what Kakashi was doing, but she became calm again as she saw him making the hand seals.

In a puff of smoke, Kakashi and the girl arrived at the village hospital. After they handed the pup to one of the nurses, they sat down at the waiting area.

" So, you are a ninja." she said

" Yeah." Kakashi replied, "what about you? You must be a genin."

" Yup, I am. I'm gonna take the chunin exam next year."

" So, tell me is the chunin exam really as hard as people say they are." asked the girl excitedly which caused her face to lit up. Kakashi seeing that averted his face from her and looked the pther way. You could make out the redness of his cheeks right above the mask he was wearing.

" Well, I'm not sure. A lot has changed since I took the exam" Kakashi said looking the other way.

" Really. When did you take the exam?"

" When i was 12." Kakashi said scratching his head lazily. He looked at the girl, who was staring at him with shocked eyes.

" 12.12. You took the exam when you were 12. Then what rank are you right now?" she asked

" I'm a jounin." he replied. Kakashi could see the girl turn even more stiff as he answered.

" Are you okay?"

" Ahuh. I'm fine." the girl replied still looking pretty shocked.

After a while of silence, the nurse came out of the emergengy room. She told them that the pup was going to be fine if he had a good rest. As if fogetting what happened while ago, the girl's face lit up once again with relief in her eyes at the news. She turned to Kakashi and started speaking quickly.

" Thank God. I was worried. And thank you very much for helping me..uh...uh" suddenly both of them realized that after being together for a while they both forgot to introduce themselves. Kakashi smirked at that thought and introduced himself.

" I'm Hatake Kakashi. I'm 17 and am a jounin of Konohagakure."

" It's nice to meet you, Hatake-san. I'm Umino Iruka. I'm 14 and am still a genin." finished Iruka.

" I-RU-KA." Kakashi repeated after her.

" Thats a nice name, but isn't if a little unusual for a girl." he said

As if a dark cloud had just formed over Iruka's head, her face became clouded with darkness. Kakashi thought that he could even see some chakra leaking out. Iruka finally spoke up and said something that left Kakashi dumbfounded.

" I'm a BOY" said Iruka

" eh...EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Kakashi screamed in disbelief.
