It was a rather busy day in Konoha, considering the bustling of the villagers as they prepared for the upcoming ceremony. Lady Tsunade had finally named who would be her successor, and everyone was eager to meet the expectations that was set upon them considering what was due to occur in the near future. Unlike many of the eager people running to this place and that, Kakashi lazily strolled about, thinking more about the road to life then actually reading the erotica he held in his hand. 'I wonder what Rin, Obito and Sensei would think if they saw me now? Would they be proud of who I have become o would they be disappointed in the fact that I cannot find it in me to let go of the past? Will I perpetually be lost and alone? Do you blame me for what has become of the previous team 7, sensei? Obito, have you forsaken me because I failed to keep my promise? Rin.. do you hate me for-'

His thoughts were cut short when something small, but undeniably strong ran into him. The first thing his uncovered eye landed open was a set of crystal-blue eyes, set on a heart shaped face and complimented by the small nose and equally tiny-but full, lips. But atlas, the second place his eyes were drawn to were the two generously sized breasts that seemed to beg for his attention. 'Oh, the wonders of female anatomy, what I wouldn't give to kiss a pair of-'

He was once again forced from his musings, but this time by a throat being cleared. His eyes quickly darted back up, coming to rest on a very cold azure glare that made him involuntarily shiver. His academically-talented brain finally caught up with him and he immediately recognized this dark-haired beauty as the woman who was soon to become his boss.

His mouth opened to throw out a half-hearted apology, 'cause really, who could apologize for appreciating kami-sama's gift to the world?', but was taken by surprise when the outstandingly unnerving glare of the woman in front of him melted into a small, warm smile.

"Well, Hatake-san, now I understand why you are considered the local lazy hentai," at this, she cast a swift glance at the orange book hanging precariously from the copy-nin's hand, "But I would have thought that a ninja so well-known would pay more attention to his surroundings," she dryly stated.

He took a moment to observe her again, this time noting the knowledge and strength that swam in the depths of her blue eyes before he replied, "Meh, I apologize Higurashi-san but it appears I once again lost myself on the road of life, could you ever forgive me?," he drawled, seemingly polite and sincere, but to one experienced enough in life's hardships, the artificial quality of the statement was glaringly obvious.

Ignoring the hollow excuse and apology, she said, "It is fine whilst you are in Konoha, but I do hope you resolve your troubled thoughts before you leave on your next mission. Being distracted will not only get you killed, but your team also. I do not want my ceremony to be followed up by any funerals, am I clear?"

He took in the sincerity of her slight demand, but wasn't quite surprised to find it completely honest. Rumors of this kunoichi's rather large amount of kindness had reached almost everybody in the entire Land of Fire, along with tales of her fierce protectiveness and undying loyalty. It seemed that Jiraiya and Tsunade had met her sometime during the Third Great Shinobi War. They had been injured and separated from their team, Kagome had been a lonely orphan that happened to cross paths with the two Sanin. Using her unique kekkei genkai and vast knowledge of herbs, she quickly patched the two up and sent them off. Shortly after the war ended, Tsunade and Jiraiya visited her occasionally and taught her various jutsus, along with taijutsu. Eventually Kagome began to travel with Tsunade but had branched out on her own shortly before Tsunade had returned to the Leaf Village, to become the fifth Hokage.

Remembering that she was probably expecting a reply, he asserted, "Hai. Although I thank you for your concern, I never let my mind wander during missions, after all, it goes against my shinobi way."

She didn't look very convinced, but with more doubtful glance over, she begrudgingly nodded and began to walk away. Throwing a glance back over her shoulder, she addressed him one more time.

"I do hope to see you at the celebration, so do not get too lost on the long and winding road of life, okay? My poor breasts probably won't stand another run-in with your chest. Then they will be all flat, and pervets like you will have nothing to stare at! Have a nice day, Hatake-san," and with that she strutted off, leaving him behind staring at her delicious backside that waved to-and-fro with a goofy half smile hidden behind his infamous mask.

'Hmm, maybe there is a chance that I might find my way afterall, sensei'.
