Hands Squeezed Tightly

Kakashi knew that when he took on the role of Hokage he would get some strange and out of the ordinary requests. Seeing the two kunoichi before him, wearing Rivers Forehead protectors, and holding hands, he knew this wasn't an ordinary request.

"So let me get this straight…" He said, holding a scroll with the signature of the Tanigakura Leader's signature before him, looking back at the two girls. "You want to transfer to Konoha?"

Both girls nodded solemnly. He could see hardship and anguish in their eyes. They were a unique sight, besides them squeezing hands tightly like their lives depended on each other, he wasn't used to seeing two very cute, adorable girls in a situation like this.

One girl, the shorter of the two, had bright orange hair that could put Naruto's whole outfit to shame, pulled back in a ponytail with long strands hanging beside her delicate face. She had a contrasting hard expression, with very determined gold eyes set with Kakashi's gaze. She wore her forehead protector on her forehead, and the intensity she exuded reminded him of the blonde he used to guide. She was modestly dressed, her sleeveless top covered by a bronze chest plate, only covering her breasts. Her legs were covered in black capris with a copper colored shirt over, and regular sandlewear. She had brown gauntlets on her left arm, and a bronze plate covering the knuckles and wrist. Her other arm had strange markings going up the side, and he sensed they were a type of jutsu or technique she could perform, since she didn't appear to have any weapons.

The other girl, slightly taller, held a softer, more worried expression, though her stance was anything but timid. She reminded Kakashi of Sasuke, only in looks, as she sported a familiar color pattern of blue, white, and black. Her hair was short, barely reaching the base of her neck in layers. She wore her forehead protector on a headband around her forehead, like most Shinobi. Her base outfit was skin tight black spandex as a body suit that didn't cover all of her arms and legs. The black spandex stretched just below her shoulders, and not even to her knees. Over it she wore a loose fitted, blue crop tank, and two sarongs around her waste and tied to a brown utility belt carrying a variety of small weapons. She wore knee-high black boots. What caught his attention was the ANBU mask tied to her belt.

"We do." Spoke the orange-haired girl. Kakashi would have assumed the taller one to be in charge, but it didn't seem that way. "We wish to become Konoha Shinobi."

Kakashi sighed. This was a tough situation. He hadn't had to deal with transfers yet, but above that, usually none were allowed unless they were referred by a resident of Konoha. Normally it only happened when marriage was involved. He almost wanted to ask Tsunade, but she was on permanent vacation probably gambling away her savings.

However, he was Hokage now, so he needed to make the decision.

Even if he didn't want this.

"Well, we have written document from the…" Briefly looks down at the signature on the scroll. "Tanikage, stating you are given permission for transfer, so I guess it should be okay…" The brightened looks that graced their young faces lit up the room, but he wasn't going to be that gullible. "However, it will take about a month for the visas for the transfer to be accepted. I also have to send him details of the transaction of the process." He studied them as they both became more serious and nodded. "In the meantime, I will have you working with close subordinates who will be watching your every move. Just for precaution. You could be spies after all."

"We understand." Said the black haired girl, though the orange top didn't look too thrilled.

"Ibuki Mara," The black haired girl stood at attention. "You will be working with two of my ANBU, Yamato and Sai. Your codename will be Ame." She nodded. "Akashi Natsu, you will be working with my Chunin team, Haruno Sakura and Uzumaki Naruto. They are both your age, so you should get along fine."

"Why Chunin? My skills are high enough to be Jounin." Natsu grumbled.

"Technically, since you transferred, I have to start you out at Genin level and test you for the higher ranks." She glared at him. "Since you were Jounin you won't have to take the actual tests, but I will have my Jounin supervise you on missions. Also, though Naruto and Sakura are both Chunin, they both exceed Jounin levels." He eyed her, daring her to protest. She huffed and looked away. At least she knows when to stop… "On a more personal basis, I want to caution you both about your…" He glances down at their hands. "Relationship. I'm not opposed to it, but I don't know what the reactions of the villagers would be. We've been around for at least six generations, we can be a bit old school."

"We understand." Said Mara, taking her hand from Natsu's. The orange haired girl looked a little crushed, but composed herself professionally to keep from showing how affected she was.

"I can get you an apartment together, but you need to pay the deposit by next week. Just tell anyone who asks that you're roommates, no one should question you."

Mara bowed deeply, followed by Natsu. "Thank you very much for your hospitality."

"Don't thank me just yet." He warned. "I have to run your application through for approval, and I will be having eyes on you."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."
