Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any characters therewith. I only own Katsuki.

Dedicated to AzNcHiBi, who helped me write this via email. Her character is named Riku and I am using it with her permission. Also, the name "Sashimi-sensei" came out of a joke between AzNcHiBi and I.


"Come on Katsuki! Try it again!" Two young 20-year-old jounin stood in the middle of a clearing, working on their jutsus. One was a tall, slender brunette, dressed in an icy green camisole with a matching miniskirt and black shorts; the other had the same build, only she was clad in pastel teal and had a similar styled outfit to Sakura.

"Sashimi-sensei, I don't see how it matters. I've been trying to do this for weeks, and I can't get it!" the brunette said.

"Katsuki, you know you may call me Riku. We're of the same rank and nearly the same age," said the raven-haired girl.

"Still, I can't forget you were once my sensei…You still are, Sashimi-sensei," Katsuki said. Riku chuckled briefly, before regaining her serious composure.

"Now, your jutsu?" she said. Katsuki took a deep breath, put her hands together in a sign, and shouted, "Shadow clone jutsu!"

POOF! Ten solid flesh-and-blood clones appeared beside Katsuki.

"Heh… How was that sen… Riku?" she said, panting.

"Good, not bad… Hmm… let's see…" Slowly, Riku made her way to each of the clones in turn, inspecting them carefully.

"Oh, no… She's gonna take forever…" Katsuki thought. Straightening the hitai-ate around her forhead, she sat down in the shade of a tree and took out her iPod. The brunette began to hum softly before a tall, silver-haired man appeared from the bushes, humming the same song while reading an orange-covered book that apparently bore the title Come Come Paradise.

"…! I-It's Kakashi Hatake! Oh, no! I'm so flustered from practice! Do I look okay?!" Poor Katsuki's face was turning bright red as the copy-ninja walked toward her.

"Hey, there, Katsuki-hime. How are you?" he asked her, closing his book and stowing it in his hip pouch.

"Uh… um… I'm f-fine, Kakashi-san… J-just training with my sensei. I-I mean, Riku-san… You know… Jonin stuff…" Katsuki avoided his teasing gaze as he sat down beside her. She moved over so he could be comfortable, but the space between them made it obvious she was shy.

"What's wrong? Surely you're not afraid of me, Katsuki-hime?" Kakashi asked, taking her hand in his. Katsuki stiffened and the blush on her cheeks became more prominent.

"N-No, Kakashi-san. I'm n-not afraid of y-you…"

"Oh, really…? Then you won't mind if I do this?"

"Do what, Kak-?"

"HEY! YOU CLOSET PERVERT! STOP KISSING MY STUDENT!" Riku shouted, whacking Kakashi over the head.

"Ah… still hurts, same as ever, Riku-san…" Kakashi said, rubbing his head and pulling his mask back over his mouth and nose. Katsuki sat dazed, her lips parted slightly. Riku's face was red with anger as she pointed back toward Konoha. The copy-ninja sighed and disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Riku knelt down beside Katsuki and snapped her fingers in front of her face.

"Hellooo? Earth to Katsuki? You there?"

"He… Kakashi… did he just-?"

"Yeah, he kissed you. Now get over it, he's just one guy in a long string of guys," Riku said, pulling her disciple up. "Let's call it a day and get some dango, neh?"

"Uh… yeah, okay, Riku…"


A/N: This is my first shot at pairings between Akatsuki and OC's. If anyone can give me info about the Akatsuki members' personalities/traits, I'd be very grateful. Thanks!
