Flashback/Thought
Jutsu
A father and his daughter headed down the sidewalk, the man looking impatient and the girl annoyed. The father had silver, gravity-defying hair, and black eyes with a mask covering his face. He wore a brown jacket with a navy blue shirt underneath. He also wore grey jeans and black sandals. The girl had straight, black hair, and her silver and red highlights glimmered in the afternoon sunlight. She wore a mask like her father's and had charcoal grey eyes. She had a black tank top and a silver leather jacket on, with blood red skinny jeans and black boots. A choker with a fang on it was visible by the glint of sunlight that reflected off of it.
"Come on, Kaze. We're going to be late." Kakashi told his daughter.
"But dad!" She complained. "You're never on time anyways!" Kakashi sighed and kept dragging Kaze to their destination. When they arrived, both Kaze and Kakashi stared at it strangely. It was a small, brick house, with a small garden then included many dead plants in it. The grass was all green except for one tiny patch that was a pale yellow, and there was a small tree on the lawn.
"Wow. Everything about this house is small." Kaze scoffed. Kakashi smacked her on the head.
"Don't say that. Now let's go." Kakashi dragged Kaze to the door. He let Kaze knock. No answer.
"Why are we here, anyways?" Kaze asked. Kakashi ignored her, and he knocked himself this time. Still no answer.
"Come on, dad. Whoever lives in this little house isn't home." She said, tugging on her father's sleeve. Kakashi sighed.
"Kaze, she told me she would be here. Now, just wait a little longer." When Kakashi said "she", it triggered a thought in Kaze's mind.
"Dad, are you cheating on mom?!" Kaze asked. Kakashi stopped mid-knock.
"Why would I be cheating on Anko with a twelve-year old? I'm not a pedophile." Kakashi said, sweat dropping.
"Oh." Kaze sighed, and calmed down. But then she got an unexpected tap on the shoulder. She whirled around and came face-to-face with someone.
The stranger had jet black hair that reached down to her mid-back. She had a light blue hoodie on, black sweatpants, and purple sneakers with blue shoelaces. She had a confused expression on her face.
"Excuse me, but… Who're you?" The girl asked. Kaze looked at Kakashi. The other girl looked at Kakashi as well.
"Oh. Hi, Kaka-san. Nice to see you're on time for once." The girl said, waving to him. Kakashi face palmed.
"I told you to stop calling me that." Kakashi muttered. Kaze looked between the two.
"You two know each other?" Kaze asked, confused. Both the girl and Kakashi nodded.
"This is my cousin, Mira." Kakashi said, pointing at the black-haired girl. Mira waved to Kaze.
"Mira, this is my daughter, Kaze." Kakashi said, ruffling Kaze's hair. Mira stared at Kakashi in shock.
"Kaka-san, are you even married yet?!" Mira shouted, bewildered.
"Or course he is, and Anko is the best mom you could ever have!" Kaze snapped. Mira looked shocked once again.
"Anko? Anko Mitarashi?! Kakashi Hatake, you never told me you were married!" Mira yelled. Kakashi smacked her on the head.
"Shush, you. Now can you unlock the door?" Kakashi asked. Mira rubbed the spot where Kakashi had hit her, and pulled out a ring of keys from her pocket. She picked out a bronze one and unlocked the door.
"Welcome to my house." Mira said to Kaze, letting the two inside.
"Wow, it's a lot better than Naruto's place, surprisingly." Kakashi said, looking around. Mira scoffed. She ran up the stairs to the living room and into the kitchen.
"You guys need anything to drink?" She asked.
"I'll take coffee. I forgot it this morning." Kakashi said.
"Um, do you have any soda?" Kaze asked.
"I have some Pepsi!" Mira said back. Kaze shrugged, and the father and daughter both sat down on the couch. There were three brown leather couches in total, one of them short, the other two stretched out longer. There was a glass coffee table in the middle, and a flat screen T.V in front of it. The window next to the T.V gave a clear view of Mira's backyard, and a small deck.
"Not too shabby." Kaze said. Kakashi nodded.
"I think she had it renovated earlier this month." Kakashi said thoughtfully. An irrelevant thought popped into Kaze's mind.
"Dad, does Mira live here alone? I haven't seen anyone else around." Kaze pointed out.
"Actually, my parents are just out working right now." Mira said, coming into the living room with a cup of coffee and a can of Pepsi. The two guests took the drinks and began sipping on them.
"So, Kakashi. What did you want to talk about?" Mira asked. Kakashi took another sup of his coffee and put it down on the table.
"Remember how you said you were moving in with us?" Kakashi asked. Mira nodded, and Kaze looked confused once again.
"She's moving in with us?!" Kaze asked.
"Yes, Kaze. Now shush." Kakashi said. Kaze rolled her eyes and took another sip of her Pepsi.
"Well, I just wanted you and Kaze to get to know each other better before starting school next week." Kakashi finished. Mira raised an eyebrow.
"You walked 20 minutes here to my house to tell me THAT?" Mira asked. She sighed. "I can't believe you, Kaka-san." Kakashi shrugged.
"Well, I'm going to use the bathroom now… You two girls have fun." Kakashi said, heading upstairs. Both Mira and Kaze stared after him.
"He totally just did that on purpose." Mia said.
"Yep." Kaze agreed. The two decided to start up a conversation anyways.
"So," Mira began. "What's it like living with Kaka-san?"
"Well, he's very lazy, first off." Kaze said. "He's really anxious when it comes to my safety and he's overprotective. And he's never on time anyways." Mira laughed.
"Be glad it doesn't run in the family." Mira muttered. Kaze nodded.
"But, he's also very nice to me, and doesn't yell at me too much…" Kaze grinned behind her mask. Mira twiddled with her fingers.
"So… Kakashi wanted us to get to know each other better. I don't really know how…" Mira whispered. "I'm just socially awkward."
"Well, we can start out simple." Kaze said. "What's your favorite color?" She asked.
"Red." Mira said simply.
"What's your favorite animal?"
"Cats and wolves."
"Do you have any pets?"
"A husky named Onikisu and a lazy turtle named Leone." Mira said.
"See, this isn't so bad. Kaze said. Mira nodded.
"Well then, it's my turn…" Mira said, before the two girls started off a conversation.
Present Day
Kaze woke up due to Mira's alarm. She pounded the nightstand with her fist until she hit the alarm. It stopped ringing, and she got out of bed.
"Honestly, that girl needs to stop waking up so early!" Kaze hissed under her breath. She took a shower, changed into her usual outfit (see description of Kaze at the beginning of the chapter), and went downstairs for breakfast. She saw Kakashi sitting at the table, eating a sandwich, with Mira busy making another one.
"Hey, Kaze." Mira greeted, without looking away from the sandwich that she was making.
"G'day, how's it-Kakashi, you're actually up early?!" Kaze gasped.
"Mira woke me up this morning… By nearly breaking down my bedroom door." Kakashi grumbled sleepily.
"What are you talking about? I didn't have anything to do with this." Mira said, though a slight smirk was visible on her face. Kaze laughed, before sitting down at the table. Mira handed her the sandwich that she had made and started packing up her things.
"Why do you pack in the morning? You should pack before you go to bed." Kaze said, in between bites.
"You sound like my mom." Mira said, stuffing a large notebook into her bag.
"Well, you should." Kaze said, unable to counter. When Kaze and Kakashi had finished, Mira was done packing. The two girls put their backpacks on and opened the door. Kakashi had gotten his bag as well and followed the two out the door, locking it behind him.
"I feel nervous already." Mira grumbled. Kaze patted her on the back.
"It'll be fine, trust me!" Kaze said, grinning behind her mask. Mira sighed, and the two eventually arrived at the school.
"Holy shit, this is what the school looks like?!" Mira gawked.
"Language, young lady." Kaze said teasingly.
"Now you REALLY sound like my mom!" Mira groaned. Kaze and Kakashi laughed, before opening the doors. As usual, a few people in the hallway would shoot a glance towards the door to see who it was. Mira was half hiding behind Kaze, and followed her to the office, while Kakashi went off to the staffroom. Kaze knocked on the office door.
"Baa-chan! Open the door!" Kaze yelled, while getting a couple glances from the passing students. Tsunade opened the door.
"Come in." She said, and the two walked in, Mira walking beside Kaze this time.
"Mira, Kaze, I understand you're both new here?" She asked. Mira and Kaze nodded.
"Well, I'll give you both a schedule. They are the same, and you'll be in class 2-C." Tsunade said, pulling open a drawer and handing the girls a schedule each.
"I hope you have a good start to the year." Tsunade said, smiling. The two waved goodbye before leaving.
"Let's see… Oh, look. Our first class is English with dad!" Kaze exclaimed. Part of her was irritated that he would probably show up late, but the other part didn't care.
"Cool. Let's go now…" Mira said. She and Kaze both hurried to the indicated room. When they arrived, they were greeted by a masked man reading an orange book outside the room.
"Kaka-san, you and those damn porno books!" Mira yelled. Kakashi raised an eyebrow.
"Nice to see you too. Anyways, I'd like you two to stay out here until I open the door again." Kakashi ordered them.
"Trying to give us a dynamic entry?" Mira asked. Kakashi chuckled, and walked into the room, closing the door behind. A few shouts and complaints about him being late were heard.
"Typical." Kaze sighed, shaking her head. Mira suddenly got an idea.
"Hey, Kaze." Mira said. Kaze looked at her curiously.
"Wanna play a major prank on them?" Mira asked, smirking. Kaze raised an eyebrow, but smiled.
"What's the deal?" Kaze asked.
"I pretend to be a snobby chick for a month and try not to get busted by any of the students." Mira explained, still smirking. Kaze grinned, and her grin turned into a smirk.
"Let's see whatcha got." Kaze whispered. Mira performed three hand signs. Dog-Boar-Ram, and she poofed (I wrote that one just for you, Kaze XD) into a different outfit. Mira now had a bun on the left side of her head with a side ponytail connected to it. She wore a denim jacket with a white shirt underneath. She had black jean shorts on, with purple flip flops. She also had multiple bracelets on her right wrist.
"How does it look?" Mira asked. Kaze gave her a thumbs up, and the two entered the class when Kakashi opened the door.
"Now, please introduce yourselves. Say your name, as much of it as you wish." Kakashi said. He seemed confused by Mira's sudden appearance change, but said nothing.
"My name is Kaze Tanaka Hatake!" Kaze exclaimed. Mira scoffed at Kaze's cheery personality. Kaze could tell that this was just part of the act.
"My name is Ukidae." Mira said.
She's going by her codename… Kaze thought.
"Now, you can both each take three to five questions from anyone." Kakashi said, sitting down at his desk behind Ukidae and Kaze. "If you are chosen, please introduce yourself and ask afterwards." Kakashi continued.
(I'm gonna call Mira "Ukidae" for now just so that I don't cause any confusion.)
"Kaze, you go first." Ukidae muttered, nudging her. Kaze smiled behind her mask and pointed at a raven-haired boy, who was sitting near the front in between a pink-haired girl and a blonde boy.
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha." The boy said. "So, Kaze," Sasuke exaggerated on her name. "Judging by your last name, you are related to Kakashi-sensei, right?" He asked. Kaze nodded. "And I'm his daughter!"
"Kakashi-sensei, when did you get married?" The blonde boy beside Sasuke asked Kakashi. The silver-haired man ignored him and kept reading his book. Kaze and Ukidae both stared at Kakashi in disgust.
"Alright, you!" Kaze pointed at a girl with light blonde hair that was tied up in a ponytail.
"I'm Ino Yamanaka. And why do you wear a mask?" Ino asked. Kaze scratched the back of her neck.
"Same reason that dad does…" Kaze mumbled. Everyone stared at Kakashi expectantly, but Kakashi kept reading.
"Well, anyways." Kaze pointed at a boy with bushy eyebrows and a haircut. She almost regretted it immediately.
"My name is Rock Lee! Kaze, are you full of youth?!" Lee asked, and since he was in the front row, he leaned over her, expecting an answer. Outside, Ukidae saw a man with a bowl cut and bushy eyebrows just like Lee's outside, giving him a thumbs-up. Ukidae sweat dropped, and looked back over at Kaze.
"U-uh…" Kaze stuttered. Ukidae pushed Lee away.
"Little too close, don't you think?" Ukidae scoffed. Lee nodded apologetically at Kaze.
"Okay then…" Kaze pointed at a girl with blue hair and lavender eyes.
"What's your question?' Kaze asked. The girl blinked and lowered her hand.
"M-my name is Hinata Hy-Hyuga." The girl stuttered. "U-um, are you a-afraid of fanboys?" Hinata asked. Ukidae and Kaze sweatdropped.
"I'm not afraid, I am utterly horrified and creeped out by them…" Kaze explained. Hinata nodded, blushed a bit, and put her head down in her arms on her desk.
"Anyone else? No?" Kaze asked, scanning the students in the room. "Well, M-um, Ukidae, was it? It's your turn now." Kaze said.
"It's not that hard to remember my name." Ukidae snapped, before folding her arms across her chest and sighing.
"Does anyone have any questions for me?" Ukidae asked. No one raised their hand. Just as Ukidae was about to sigh again, the pinkette who was sitting next to/glomping Sasuke raised her hand and got off Sasuke.
"What?" Ukidae asked, frowning.
"My name is Sakura Haruno. And, actually, your name is pretty unique, and that's why it's a bit hard to remember." She stated. Ukidae glared at her.
"Does it matter?" She asked. Sakura was infuriated.
"How DARE you, you… You sassy little bitch!" Sakura yelled, standing up. She knocked her chair over in the process, and it nearly hit Naruto in the face, who had leaned back in his chair and surprised him.
"Hey, cut it out!" Kaze yelled, who was about to threaten Sakura, but was stopped by Ukidae.
"Look who's talking." Ukidae smirked. Kaze stared in shock and Sasuke glared at her, not because she was insulting Sakura, but because she was acting so over-confident. And sassy.
"Well, you can take your odd little name and get out!" Sakura yelled, pointing a finger in Ukidae's face. Ukidae's eyes widened, and Sakura took that as a hint that she won the argument. She hmphed, crossed her arms over her chest, and sat down smirking. Ukidae stood there for a couple seconds, before smirking.
"Heh…" She chuckled. Sakura felt confused and angry.
"Hey, pinky." She said.
"What?!" Sakura yelled, enraged by being called "pinky" in front of Sasuke. She got a wet explosion in her face as an answer.
"Water Balloon Jutsu." Ukidae chuckled, throwing another one up in the air and catching it repeatedly. The whole class was staring at her, except for Kakashi, who had snuck out of the class to get something.
"Next person who messes with me or Kaze…" Ukidae stopped mid-sentence. She gently pressed a finger down on her water balloon gently, and it popped. The water and the broken balloon pieces disappeared.
"The next person who dares to TRY, I will personally make sure they get what they deserve…" Ukidae trailed off, smirking evilly. Kaze laughed at the sight of the soaking pinkette, and a few other people did as well.
Ukidae and Kaze high-fived each other.
And Sakura had to sit through class in a soaking wet dress.
