A/N: Next chapter...I have to warn you: since I don't know how different persons die in the manga ( have to watch the german anime, still chunin exames, Lee's fight with Gaara... -.-' , why is a long story.) I just left them alive. These persons are: Hayate Gekko and Asuma Sarutobi. But Sasuke, this Bastard, is still off with Orochimaru. Doesn't matter how he left, as long as he's far far away! Yeah, you guessed right- I can't stand him. Well, he's not going to play a big role in this story, so it doesn't matter anyways.
Disclaimer:
Don't own Naruto, nor do I own Anko or Kakashi- if I did, I'd make Anko a main charakter!
Lazy person on 3 o'clock
(well, I don't know if you use this in english, in german military language you say it like that if you want to tell a direction.)
One week before the events we've already read about:
Just walking down the street. Eating some dango. Having a rest after all this exhausting paper-work she had to do for over a week now. That was all Anko wanted. All she desired. Nibbling a stick with dango she slowly walked down the mainstreet of Konoha. „Ahh...this is true life. Damn Tsunade and all her stupid office-work." she mubled, mouth full of her favourite sweets.
She still was a 'little bit' pissed, because she got paper-work as a 'regard' for a perfect completed mission two weeks ago. It has been her fifth since she had been ranked up to a real Jounin, not only 'special Jounin' in only three weeks. „Well done, Anko," Tsunade had said. „You deserved some rest...the next two weeks you'll stay in Konoha." What she accidentely had forgotten to tell her, was that she hadn't done her office-work for over two weeks. Exactly the time of Anko's 'vacation'- and she was supposed to do it instead of her, so that all the Hokage had to do afterwards was to sign the stuff. If she weren't to lazy to do that, too. „Next I'll have to forge her signature." Anko continued to complain to herself. But now she looked forward to two hours of midday break- at least something good about the whole mess. She had a long break compared to Hayate for example. Last time she saw him, he had been drowning in lots of white, black printed, sheets. Probably he was already dead by now. She didn't think that without a spark of mischievousness. Tsunade was spoiling and wasting her time, why shouldn't others suffer the same fate? For example Kakashi- why did he get a week of real vacation? He had done half as much as her at the missions. And anyways, why did she have to be teamed up with this lazy ass?
„Ouch!" someone's female voice yelled, when Anko bumped into something hard. The 'something' turned out as her friend Kurenai who stood infront of a shop-window. Or at least, had been standing. Now she was something between falling and already lying on the ground. „Sorry" she murmured while helping Kurenai up after she finished falling. „Oh. Anko, it's you. Why people have to trip always about me?" Kurenai complained.
„Uh...? Who else?" her dango-nibbling friend asked.
„Today only Iruka, Kakashi, Kiba and Ino- not to forget about Choji who followed right after Ino and was ways havier. Oh," she smirked ominious „and of course Asuma last night."
Anko started to grinn. „So your little dinner-idea worked well?"
Kurenai nodded. „VERY well, if you know what I mean." Anko had a slight idea, what her friend meant. „Well, seems like it's not too bad if people always trip about someone...wish someone would accidentely trip about me." she stated. Then she turned around to the shop-window Kurenai had glanced in before. It belonged to a little weapon-store. Normal womens wouldn't have paid so much interest in it, but to kunoichi like Kurenai and her this was better than jewelry. „Wow." she said, noticing a perfect pair of Nunchaku (for those who don't know: a Nunchaku is a weapon used by the real ninjas: two sticks connected with a chain (english: chain-sticks). Very painful, if someone strikes you with them, I can tell.). They were made of wood and hexagonal with thinner ends- perfect to strike someones neural- or chakra-points.
„Yeah." Kurenai agreed with a desirefull expression on her face. „But look at the price- they're just much too expensive. Let's have lunch together." Kurenai suggested. Anko pointed at her dango-stick. „I'm already having mine." She said and Kurenai laughed. „I'll pay. I can't let you always eat sweets for lunch. You'll ruin your health."
„Yes, mum." Anko said in a mocking voice. Kurenai grimassed. „And about that tripping-thing, I happen to know lots of men who would be glad to trip about you" She sad, while grabbing Ankos arm and dragging her down the street.
„Wha...? Hey! Why do you know them and I don't?" Anko wanted to know.
„Well, you know them, too. But they never woud let you notice that they would like to trip about you, becuase if they did so you would break their bones." Kurenai explained.
„So I scare men away?" The kunoichi asked.
„You might express it like this."
„Bah...if they are scared of me, they are little cowards. Don't need them to trip."
Kurenai laughed and pointed to a ramen-stand. „This one." They sat down and ate in silence. After finishing and paying the bill, Kurenai leaned back.
„Back to tripping?" she asked with a quiet grin.
„This is frustrating..." Anko moaned.
„Well, you said, men who are scared of you are weaklings?"
„Yeah...a man I am interested in must be a strong and brave one."
„Hm. Would you call the lazy person on three o'clock a weakling?" Kurenai wanted to know.
„Who...?" Anko turned around and looked into given direction. Her eyes widened.
„Him? He's not interested, belive me. The only thing he wants to trip about is a new book of Icha Icha."
„Who knows?" With these words Kurenai rose, and walked away, leaving Anko to eyeball suspiciously a certain man who was sitting in a tree and read a dirty book.
Two streets and five minutes later:
„Did it work?" a male voice asked from the shadows. Kurenai turned around, a wide grin on her face. „Couldn't be better." She answered. „What was this story with the tripping? That was private!" the man complained. „Well, I had to lure her somehow, hadn't I?" Asuma snorted. „However. Let's see, what the next step is." He stepped out of the shadow and pulled out a small book. It was titled with „How to mach up your friends". He opened it and giggled. „Let's initiate step two..."
