AN: REVIEW AND COMMENT MERCI BEAUCOUP! :D


Chapter 2

Previously…

"Why are you so interested in Yumi-senpai?"

Naruto face made a mischievous smile. "I think Sensei has a crush on Karasu-san", he whispered to Sakura, while sampling the dish.

"Hope you recover quickly Sasuke-kun, Sayonara," said Kakashi ignoring the comment.

Kakashi left the room, his three students watched him leave, dumbfounded.



He left the hospital and walked to the fourth's grave. Iruka stood next to Yumiko, laughing while he fiddled in his pockets. He noticed that Yumiko held a bouquet of roses that she placed on top of the fourth's grave.

"Konichiwa." Kakashi walked up to the grave.

"Hello Kakashi-sensei." Iruka said.

Yumiko bowed before the grave, and then walked down the steps.

"So shall we head out for some ramen?" She smiled to Iruka.

"I thought you didn't want ramen." He laughed looking down at her different colored eyes.

"I don't. But someone over there does." She looked up at a tree. Small specks of blond hair showed through some of the leaves, while large amounts of cussing and screaming "I can do it! Believe it!"

"Hey Naruto! Get your butt down here," yelled Iruka while looking up at the mischievous hero of Kohonagare.

Naruto jumped down and looked at the slender Kunoichi that smiled. Her outside features were beautiful, her skin was as white as snow, her lips were as red as cherries, her eyes, however were the opposite, one eye was purple the other was black. She wore a yukata, on the back there was black cherry blossoms, she wore black leggings and black fishnets, with black flats. As for her village sign, she wore it on her forehead, on her left arm, under her Yukata; she bore the Anbu O.P sign. On the contrary, below the yukata, there were scars everywhere, from the beatings she received from the gang.

"Konichiwa Naruto-san." She bowed before him.

"Konichiwa."

"Shall we head out for ramen?"

"Hai!" Yumiko and Naruto cheered.

"EH? You like ramen too?" Naruto gaped at Yumiko.

"Like? Love! If it wasn't for the fact that I'm crazy about vegetables and a balanced diet I would've eaten it everyday!"

Iruka laughed, while Kakashi smiled. 'Looks like this Kunoichi is a lot like Naruto, but a lot like me as well, I have a feeling this is going to be interesting."

They went to the ramen shop, chatted and ate. Kakashi chose not to eat, seeing he didn't feel like taking off his mask, and that he already ate on his way to meet Yumiko. Iruka and Yumiko chatted like they've known each other since forever.

"So where have you been all this time Iruka?" Yumiko munched on the ramen toppings while Naruto, the ramen terrorist, was already asking for his third serving.

"Oh the usual, taking my old sensei's place and being the teacher for the future Shinobis…"

"So who's the new lady Iruka-sensei? I've never seen her around these parts!" One of the cooks winked at Yumiko while the served ramen to Naruto's fourth serving.

"She's just recently returned to the Leaf Village, she's been away for a while."

"Hello, the name's Yumiko." She smiled.

The cook stared at her and began to get a bloody nose from her gorgeous face. Kakashi, and the others stared as they ate.

"I suggest you take the day off Ikuto-san," said the owner embarrassed by his actions his employee shown before his customers and a gorgeous looking woman.

"H-Hai…" He covered his nose from embarrassment and left the ramen shop.

Yumiko finished her bowl and pulled out her wallet.

"How much?" She looked up from her bowl.

"No need to worry, Kakashi has already paid for it." Iruka replied while biting into his crab meat.

"Eh? But I didn't see him pay the bill…"

"HEY! Since when did Kakashi-sensei pay for other people's ramen!?" Naruto looked up from his noodle covered face.

Kakashi smiled under his mask, fortunately it was lucky for him to hide it, however no one could tell but Yumiko when she saw his eye have a slight smiling gleam to it.

He whispered, "Gomenasai, for ruining your chances."

Yumiko smiled, and stepped up to Kakashi, "Two can play at that game Hatake-san." She muttered under her breath.

After twenty minutes everyone was finished, while Naruto returned to his training. While Kakashi, Iruka and Yumiko walked down the street to Yumiko's apartment she recently rented. On the way there was many produce and clothing shops, and most importantly for Kakashi, a book store. They entered a weapons store, to stock up on some kunai and summoning scrolls.

"So how exactly do you know the fourth Hokage, Yumi-san?" Kakashi questioned as he was looking at some summoning scrolls while Yumiko was eyeing a black sword.

"Let's say in a way it was like your typical bump into someone incident." She pulled the sword off the rack and eyed it. Little did the others know she held her weapons under her yukata, which no one would be able to tell.

"So you somehow bumped into the fourth?"

"Not quite." She placed down the sword, and began to look at some throwing stars.

"I used to know Naruto's mother as a child." She stated quietly as possible.

Kakashi looked up at her, in shock, and then stared at Iruka, who looked down in guilt of this secret.

"The poor boy, to have a fate like that, "She held a black dagger, and checked it's sharpness with her finger nail. " I've heard what happened with Iruka when nine tails was loose, my father and mother suffered the same fate."

'Good that's one rumor cleared up.' Kakashi thought.

"Miss, you shouldn't be doing that, your hands are far too gentle for that." One of the sales clerks stated firmly as she removed the dagger disappointed at its dullness. "Aren't you supposed to be in downtown in the teashop?" Assuming she was a Geisha.

"Don't worry about me." She waved her hand, provoking a light gesture.

"If you say so m'am." The clerk walked away, disappointed.

"So you and Iruka have known each other a while?" Jiraya jumped in from behind, Yumiko turned and looked up at the toad sage. Jiraya looked down at the gorgeous woman; she looked tired but full of energy.

"Hello Jiraya-sama, how nice to finally find the author of Make out Paradise series." She bowed, and held a firm fist under her breast.

"Kakashi I never knew you were the type to date!" Jiraya winked at Kakashi while nudging him.

Iruka walked up and held an arm around Yumiko's shoulder.

"You guys didn't know? We are engaged." Iruka exclaimed.

The group was quiet Kakashi looked up from his book for a moment, while Jiraya stared at Iruka.

Yumiko jumped and turned around and unleashed her hidden fist… into the weakest point for any male… in the family jewels…

Iruka was on the ground, grabbing his precious jewels, while he cried silently.

"Surely you've learned by now Iruka-kun that I don't joke around like that." She placed her folded her arms once again, while she glanced at Kakashi smiling sweetly.

Kakashi grew wide eyed, and stared at Jiraya.

'WHAT ON EARTH JUST HAPPENED!? DID SHE JUST PUNCH HIM IN THE BALLS?!'

Jiraya stared at the mysterious violent Kunoichi. 'She must be Mara's (AN: Mara = Asian version of Satan) spawn!!!!'

"Gomenasai, Jiraya-san, I didn't mean for you to see me like that." Yumiko bowed.

Meanwhile Iruka lay on the ground crying and still grabbing his manhood. Kakashi stared at the poor child hood friend oaf.

Yumiko returned to browsing the lovely swords around the shop. Jiraya began to wonder if he should even DARE try to hit on this woman, while Kakashi returned to reading Ichi Ichi Make out Paradise.

Yumiko bought three lovely blades with kanji to use for practice as well as three dozen packages of daggers and needles. As for the men, they simply bought the usual expected supplies, kunais and summoning scrolls… As for Iruka he invested in armor tidy whities...

The group disbanded after their items were bought, only this time, Iruka paid for everything. Yumiko unfortunately was beaten again. Iruka and Kakashi walked her back home to her apartment, hoping to help her with moving her stuff unpacking and what not's, while Jiraya decided to go pay his lovely girlfriend Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage.

Kakashi read his book once again while they walked up the stairs to the apartment, on Zen Avenue.

Meanwhile Iruka was burdened of carrying all her stuff, as she began to fiddle for the right key at the door numbered 1366.

"Hey hurry up would ya? This stuff weighs a ton! You women and your expenses, I knew I should've rethought about helping you out!"

"Oh, you know you love me, if it wasn't for the fact that I almost make better ramen than that shop. You would've hated me in the Academy!" Yumiko unlocked the door while giggling.

"But I do, you freaking prodigy!" Iruka placed her stuff on the floor, while Kakashi walked in.

Yumiko stuck her tongue out at Iruka like little children teasing one another.

"Alrighty, you boys ready to help?"

Kakashi placed a bookmark in the book and closed it. "Ready when you'll be."

Suddenly there was a knock at the door.


mmmphf?
