Author Note: Ok first let me say this; I am by no means experienced in writing these types of stories… Or any story for that matter since this is my very first one. Please feel free to read and review. Although if you have something hateful to say about my writing style without offering my any type of advice on how to get better… DIE painfully and slowly. Otherwise everything else is openly welcome. :) Also I want to run this as a one shot first and if people like it enough and it catches good enough reviews I'll go ahead and run with it as a story.

Many Thanks: KingSnoopy101

Disclaimer: .....i own only the plot. I'm not sure if i'm required yet so until then i'll just do as i've seen.

It was early in the morning as Naruto awoke from hi uncomfortable dream. It had been the same one for the last six nights in a row. The same people, the same scenery, even the same annoying fox was always there.

"Ah crap" grunted Naruto as he felt the stir of chakra in his belly

The fox had been rather pungent lately due to some abnormality with his immune system. Or at least that's what he thought the fox said on their last encounter. I didn't matter at this point all that mattered was the other annoying he was feeling; Hunger. His stomach gave out one more loud plead of acknowledgement before he rolled out of bed and progressed into the kitchen.

He reminisced on his favorite kunoichi as he began to fix himself a cup of instant ramen. He stared absently out the small window above his sink before he heard the rouse of movement that came from his couch. He jumped; just barely noticeable to the normal eye I mean hey he was a ninja after all. He quickly clasped the kunai the lay hidden jus under the cabinet above the counter. He etched slowly over to the couch with relative hesitation and caution as he was prepared for the worst.

He leapt over the couch only to be tossed and pinned to the door by more force than he anticipated. He smacked the wall with a loud thud and watched almost helplessly as a senbon escaped just beneath the sleeve of his captor.

"Hey cutie, don't you know it's not safe to sneak up on ninja when they're sleeping?" she said in a menacingly cunning and seductive tone.

"Hmm, well if I had known you would have been awake I might have just blown the whole couch up" he snorted with a small chuckle as she began to stand up.

"Anyway…" he trailed off "Why didn't you mention you were spending the night Anko? If I had known you could have slept in the spare room" now full focused on the steaming cup of ramen in his hands.

It was like this for the past couple of weeks. Anko would show up un-announced spend the night and crash his mornings like she lived there. In all honesty he really didn't mind the company; it was a nice change of events since he had been living in his small apartment by himself for so long.

She turned on the stove and began to heat up last night's leftovers as a morning snack.

"Well what fun would that be, hmm Naruto?" In a more seductive tone than the last, "Besides I enjoy breaking in, although with the relative ease it took I'm not sure if you'd really call it breaking and entering." Her voice flat lined at the second part.

Naruto simply looked at her with his usual foxy grin and finished off the last of his ramen before tossing the chopsticks at her with intense force. She merely waited until the chopsticks were mere seconds from her figure until she disappeared from sight, allowing the high speed sticks to puncture the wall in her place.

Naruto looked hesitantly about his small apartment before noticing the shift in the atmosphere behind him. He was just inches away from being skewered by the spoon she had picked up to cook with. He ducked under her horizontal slash and rose with foot hoping to send her flying through the door at her rear. She spun in the air using the wall as a platform and sprang forward diving over the Uzumaki child before land gracefully on the table in the center of the room.

A small smirk trailed her beautiful lips just before noticing several shuriken being launched her direction. If any enjoyment from what she thought was a victory moments ago left almost as quickly as it had come. Her eyes narrowed and she spun on her heel and leaned back. Her shoulder blades barely grazing the fined wood she was balancing on as the shuriken cut the small netting the cover her torso. The shuriken continued and head straight for the pan on the stove. She threw the spoon in one fell swoop and deflected a majority of the shuriken as they landed on the floor with a loud thump.

She finished the graceful movements and leapt to the ceiling planting her feet firmly yet gently to its smooth surface as her now snake like eyes scanned the room. Her hairs on her neck stood on end just moments before a grinning Naruto was kneeled behind her perfectly upside down and clasping her waist, a kunai firmly place close to her throat.

Damn it! Beaten again by the smug over confident brat! She thought annoyed with herself.

It had been this way for the last couple of weeks. Each morning if one was found at the others house a little light weight sparring match would be initiated to keep their ninja skills on point. However after the first match it seemed Naruto always got first move or finishing blow. It was beginning to annoy her. Not to mention the clever shot at her breakfast as a distraction was a nice touch.

"Heh heh I think I win again Anko-Chan" Naruto commented in a light as if whispering an important message.

"Not on your life brat!" She stammered as she melted and was replaced by a bunch of snakes.

Naruto quickly dropped to the floor and jumped against a wall. , placing his back firmly against the wall to minimize the risk of a surprise attack. This had suddenly got amusing for him since their usual spars ended shortly after they started. It was difficult to tell I that had been the intention or merely a coincidence. Either way Naruto couldn't bring himself to care or focus on anything outside of the situation at hand.

Anko seemed to push her arms and body effortlessly through the wall behind him as it rippled like that of a tranquil pond. Her arms wrapped around his neck as a kunai was held just above his chin. Then a second Anko dropped from the ceiling and leaned against his half naked body. She mocked his words from before. As he admitted defeat and dropped down on the couch lazily.

"So what do you think of my little performance Naruto-kun? Amazing don't you think? I've been waiting all week just to watch the look on your face as you tasted defeat." Her voice carried through the air swiftly before finding its way to Naruto's ears.

"Yeah, yeah I'm just tired from staying up so late last night! Given the proper rest and you wouldn't know how to handle me!" As Naruto turned over and stared at the ceiling above him, he thought about the moment all of this began.

------- THE WEEK BEFORE -------

"So you finally did it huh Gaki?" Jiraiya choked out as he sipped his sake and peered at the beautiful women dancing in the streets.

"Did what?" Naruto asked passively as he stared at the dazzling light show in the sky, amazed only by the giant fox representation as it burst in a flurry of ember and ash.

The sky lit up with beautiful hues of red, orange, pink, and even an emerald color as it collided with a loud bang.

"You know…" Jiraiya said in an exaggerated tone as he jabbed Naruto in his sides lightly. "Have you gotten the demented kunoichi with the snakes to agree to some…" he paused and developed a more perverted look on his face "Some 1on1 training yet?"

Naruto couldn't help but deadpan at the ridiculous question before shooting a quick comment back. "Like hell you perverted old man. Even if I did get assigned a female jonin to assist with my training, it is by no means a way to get a bunch of cheap pervert shots at her!!!!" He bellowed loudly.

"You know the Godaime is heading out of the village for a few years right?" His tone suddenly becoming much more serious than usual, Naruto noticed the tenor in his voice and straitened up immediately.

Jiraiya continued on "She's taking a few of the kunoichi for a series of special training for three years."

"Isn't that kind of absurd since she IS the active Hokage?" Naruto commented asking more to himself than anyone else.

Jiraiya simply looked over the crowd before continuing his dialogue. "Normally it would be but given that Konohagakure may be on the verge of war with Amegakure, we're going to need every ounce of talent and strength we can get."

With that he finished his cup and turned to leave, his happy persona once again returning in his face. "I'm off for a little research, don't wait up!" As he walked away he pointed towards the crowd and said "Hey Gaki there she is now, she even looks like she's having fun. What better way to convince her to train you than at a party?"

With that Jiraiya was off into the crowd of women debating which ones to use for 'research'.

Well the perverts got one thing right if I don't approach her now I may never get a better opportunity. Damn it! I hate it when he's right about this stuff. I just hope she doesn't get the wrong idea.

"Hey"he called to the dancing sadist in female form.

"What do you want?" she called back impartial to the fact that he was standing right in front of her.

"So how's the party so far you enjoying yourself?"

She merely kept dancing for a minute or two before sliding next to him so fast he barely noticed her move.

"It's been great so far but I don't have a dance partner yet."

This is perfect He thought to himself excitedly

"How about I join you for the night?"

"You sure you can keep up? I love parties and dancing and don't need another low life trying to grope me down the entire night!" A small wave of killing intent flooded off her being for just a moment only to fade quicker than it came.

Naruto kept a mental note not to get to comfortable tonight or she just might kill him. He danced with her and brought up the topic he approached her for in the first place.

"Hey Anko-Chan, you think since I'm doing you this huge favor you could do me one?"

For an instant he felt the lust of a murder standing before him.

"It's nothing perverted I swear I just need help with something is all, and well… you seem like the best person to ask." He said quickly as he waved his hands in from of him to try and dismiss any thoughts of tearing him limb from limb.

"Well you see, I, uh…, um…"

"Well spit it out already would ya?"

"Well I need to get stronger so I need a jonin class ninja to train me. Seeing how you have high marks and as a ninja of his village I figured you wouldn't mind training me."

"Oh yeah? Exactly what makes you so sure I'd train you? For all I know you're a pathetic puss who can barely match over genin level. I have no interest in such a low class fighter. Besides I don't take on students. Not now, not ever."

"Is that how you see it? Ok how about a bet?"

At this her ears perked up and she narrowed her eyes as a small smile made its way showing perfectly white teeth that glistened in the moonlight.

"What did you have in mind brat?"

"A light spar, if I win, you take me on as a student."

She cut him off abruptly sounding displeased. "Yeah I figured that much, but what if I win then what?"

"Well… I don't know, whatever you want I guess."

Humph she retorted already fanaticizing of the amount of dango he would have to buy her all week. The challenge looked easy enough with some pretty nice rewards. Hell I could beat him quickly and still enjoy the rest of my night. She thought ominously.

"Well lady what do you say?" As he finished that last comment the words travelled through her like steel rods on paper. Not to mention it completely pissed her off. In one phrase he completely lost the nice sensible charm that got her to dance with him. Oh she was going to enjoy teaching the young ones a lesson in manners.

"Fine tomorrow night in the field just outside of the village's wall, we'll meet up at the gate entrance at 9pm don't be late or I'll hunt you down."

"Don't worry about that I'll be there. Just be prepared to lose!"

With that she was gone leaving a determined looking Naruto in her wake. Anko was ready for what was awaiting her the next night. As she leapt from rooftop to rooftop thinking of how ridiculous it was for a genin to challenge a jonin she couldn't help but feel excited for the battle to come.
