Kakashi was wandering through the streets of Konoha one sunny spring afternoon when he became incredibly parched. His first thought was 'What the hell, why am I so thirsty all of a sudden?'.

A loud, mysterious, and omnipotent voice told him "This is a plot device to set into motion you meeting a certain onyx-eyed, fire engine red with cerulean streaked haired beauty. It is your fate and destiny! Ignore me from now on though, pretend I was never here".

To which Kakashi replied "Whatever". With a slight shrug of the shoulders he walked into the nearest restaurant to fix his very slight dehydration problem, because any good ninja knows to keep hydrated.

When he sat down on a stool at the restaurant's bar, he told the bartender "I'll just have one glass of water please, extra ice".

To which the bartender replied, "No-can-do, sorry, there's been some recent break-ins and someone has damaged all of our kitchen equipment. You can have warm water if you like".

"How much money did they get away with?" Kakashi asked.

"No, she didn't take any money," replied the bartender.

"Did she take any valuable documents? The deed to the bar?" Kakashi asked.

"No, it was just the damage to the kitchen. It was probably just vandalism but something tells me there's something more to this crime," said the bartender.

"Wait, let me get this straight. Someone broke in here and damaged the fridge, the stove, the deep fryer, and every other piece of kitchen equipment, but didn't steal anything. No money, no valuables," Kakashi said, "Can't you just get me some cold tap water from the sink?".

Said the bartender, "No, she took the sink too. I've been getting all my water from a nearby stream".

"Why are you even open then? How can you possibly make any money with all the kitchen equipment broken?" asked Kakashi.

"It's destiny that you should come into this restaurant at this time on this day."

"What?" asked Kakashi.

"I said it's difficult to make money with the restaurant closed and we're expecting a delivery of new equipment today and someone has to be here to sign for it" said the bartender, "Besides we still have booze."

Kakashi looked behind the bartender to the giant shelf of alcoholic beverages that he had somehow missed on the way in.

"Ya know," said the bartender, "I did catch a glimpse of what the thief looked like. She had onyx eyes and fire engine red hair with cerulean streaks in it".

"Why didn't you call the cops?" asked Kakashi.

The bartender replied "I dunno, it just felt wrong to call them. Like there was a voice telling me not to, almost like it was my fate or something. So, do you still want that water?"

"You mean the water you're going to get from that stream out there? The water that I could go get for myself and not have to pay for?" asked Kakashi.

"Yes," the bartender answered.


As Kakashi looked around the bar drinking his room temperature water, he wondered what the hell was going on.

As he was exiting the restaurant, Kakashi ran into Sakura and Naruto who were on their way to Ichariku's as usual (well usual for Naruto, Kakashi was pretty sure that Sakura was on another diet, not that he thought she needed to be on one). "Kakashi-sensei, have you heard about the onyx-eyed, fire engine red with cerulean streaked haired female that vandalized that restraurant the other day?" said Naruto.

"Naruto, I really have no interest in some stupid vandal. I have better things to do with my time," Kakashi replied.

"Like what?" asked Sakura.

"Well I have to..." and with that, Kakashi promptly poofed himself out of there.

"Gah... Kakashi can be so annoying," said Sakura.

"Yeah, he is. Hey Sakura, now that Kakashi is gone, we can continue our date".

"We are not on a date Naruto". And Naruto responded only with a sad puppy dog look.

Back with Kakashi, who was still not caring about the onyx-eyed, fire..."I, Omnipotent Voice, hereby declare that instead of writing the description anytime anyone talks about this girl, we'll just use her name. It's Akane. That is all."

Whatever, thought Kakashi.

A/N: Whatever indeed, Kakashi I know, I know, I know, not the greatest, but I'm trying alright? I could really use some constructive criticism. I would appreciate it so much. Thanks.
