It was another gorgeous day in Konoha; people bustling in the streets, people selling their wares, kids playing with one another, students learning how to become fine ninjas that would be the pride of the leaf village and-a woman yelling and being drug behind a rather large Siberian husky as she barreled into people and they leapt out of her way.

"Oops! Sorry! 'scuse me! Wah! Sorry about that! Ice! Stop! Please! Sit! Rollover! Play dead! EEYAAAAH!!"

A masked ninja looked in the street ahead of him, wondering what the uproar was all about when a woman barreled past him screaming.

He whistled and the dog skidded to a stop and began heading back towards the noise and with a simple-

"Stop. Sit. Stay."

The dog did as commanded and indeed stopped, sat and stayed.

The blond haired woman panted and gasped for air as her wild ride came to a stop.

"Maaa, what have we here?"

"I was taking my dog for a walk. He's new.", she panted out.

"Ah, your new dog was taking you for a walk."

She gave a breathy laugh, "Yeah, that actually sounds more like it. I decided I wanted a dog so I would have someone to come with me when I go running…I didn't exactly plan to go on a sprinting and leaping run though."

The masked nin knelt down and began petting the large husky.

"What I can't understand is why a little lady like your self would get such a large dog."

'Little?', she thought to herself. That was the first time in her existence, since she was a child, that someone had called her little. Being six foot tall, and sporting a full C-cup did not a little woman make. That little diddy and add in the fact that, although she didn't look it, she could bench about three hundred pounds. But apparently it goes to note that giant huskies are immune to that strength.

"Well, you see…I thought he was pretty.", she said with a sigh. "I love huskies."

"Un, perhaps you should-", he said standing up after ruffling the dogs fur around his neck.

"-downsize?"

He tilted his head and smiled at her. She assumed he did anyways, she could only see one of his eyes, but it crinkled up in the corner so she took it as a smile.

"But thank you so much-uh…", she hesitated grasping for a name.

"Kakashi Hatake.", he said, offering his hand out to shake.

She gaped. 'Holy junk, the copy nin! Eyaaaaah!'

After her brain managed to boot itself back up she shifted her leash to her other hand and shook his.

"Jade Takashi."

"Ahn, well it was my pleasure. Good luck on finding another…more suitable doggy."

"Thanks….again.", she said laughing. Then she turned back in the direction she came from and then bit her lip nervously. Then she turned her head back to Kakashi and pulled her mouth to one side and clenched an eye shut as she attentively tugged on the dogs leash and-

'They're off!', the thought flashed through the copy nin's mind as he once again watched as the freckled blond practically flew off into the distance behind the black and white dog.
