Chewbecky:  *rubbing hands together* hehe…guess what folks…I thought I told you to… GUESS!

Kakashi: *massages her shoulders* calm down, just calm down.  It's not a good thing to scare the readers away before they start to read…

Chewbecky: *eye twitching, staring off into space* definitely…def-definitely…don't scare readers…oh no….

Kakashi: *sighs* What she really wants to say, is that in this fic, Team 7 are boarding together.  That means all of them, in the SAME house.  As for ages, they're around 18/19.

Disclaimer:  C'mon, guys. You ALL know that I don't own Naruto.  Masashi Kishimoto, such a brilliant man…

Outside the Hokage's Office

            "If you ever, EVER speak another word about me and Madonna…I will KEEL you. Do you understand!?" Sasuke said, shaking me by the collar of my shirt. "That goes for the rest of you as well!"

            "Yep, got it." the others said in unison.

            "So Ayana chan, how do you feel about…" older men, Kakashi stopped himself before he let his true intentions out, "…living in Konoha?"

            "Um, well.  I never lived outside of The States before…" I began.

            "Well if you want, I can show you around!" Naruto chimed in.

            Before I got a chance to protest Naruto was dragging me around the city, with the rest of the team following behind us.  We stopped at a place called Ichiraku's first, then The Academy, next some sort of training ground with logs, a big arena/coliseum like place, past a couple of shops that I personally believed just happened to be on the way to the place that I would be calling home from now on.

            "This is it, the home of Team 7!" Naruto said all energetic like while he fumbled with his keys.

            "Hmmph, baka. It doesn't take that long to open a damn door…" Sasuke growled while he promptly opened the door with his own key, and let himself in.

            "Is he always this grumpy?" I ask, to no one in particular.

            "..Yeah..." Naruto and Kakashi said in unison.

            "Don't call Sasuke kun names!!" Sakura screeched while giving me the evil eye, "He's one of the strongest ninjas in Konoha! Sasuke kun, let me take care of your wounds for you!" she yelled as she disappeared in the house.

            Naruto was the next to walk in, and I just stood at the door, with Kakashi.  He looked at me, and I looked at him.  We stared at each other.  Then I looked down at my feet as a stupid, STOOPID, thought came into my head. 'I wonder what his hair feels like…' (Oh c'mon! you know you've thought it, too!!) Then I stared at him, and then his hair.  A look of contemplation took over my face as I slowly but surely became consumed with the thought.

            'I wonder why she keeps staring at me like that…Is there something stuck in my hair…?'

            "Um…Kakashi, right?" I said trying to collect myself for the question I was about to ask.

            "Hai."

            "Uh, could I..." I begin to shuffle my feet, "Would it be okay if…." Dammit girl, just say it! "Can I touch your hair?" I asked in a tiny voice.

            The towering, silver haired jounin crinkled his eye in amusement and bent down to my height.  'Stupid hair fetish' I curse to myself.  I reach out, with one hand, and gently stroke the silky strands of my desire.  I then begin to softly run my fingers through it with my other hand.  If anyone were to walk by, I sure as hell don't know what they would think.  If it was me, I'd probably stop and gawk, then open my mouth to say something but wouldn't be able to find the words that best represent my out of kilter thoughts, then gawk some more before I finally return walking on my merry way.  Being as stupid as I just explained that I was, I begin to giggle like an insane junior high school girl who is smoking some of that 'precious herb'.

            "Eh, what's so funny, Ayana chan?" he asks while tilting his head back to look me in the eyes.

            "N-nothing's funny…it's just… it's just that…"  I can't remember what I want to say when he's staring at me, but I still haven't taken my hands from his silvery mane. "You have very nice hair, Kakashi…" I whisper while forcing myself to tear my hands away from his hair.

            "Ayana chan, do you want ramen, or would you rather have Sensei's hair to eat?" Naruto busted in, making one of his classic, fox like faces.

            "Please, don't ask…" I began…but this is Naruto I'm asking.

            "What's with you and touching people's hair?" Naruto asked while squinting his eyes.

            "Naruto, you shouldn't be so rude…" Kakashi stated.

            "It's okay.  I just have this, STOOPID, hair fetish; it makes me want to touch people's hair all the time." I explained while shrugging my shoulders as if it were a normal thing.  Naruto looked at me, then at Kakashi, then back at me.

            "Naruto…" I start in a sweet voice, "…can I touch your hair?"

            The blond stared at me for a moment, and then walked closer and bowed his head.  I smile, and then delve my hands into his unruly golden locks.  Yes, his hair seemed to be a little coarser than Kakashi's hair.  I stroked my fingers through his sun shiny mane while calculating the differences and likenesses of his and Kakashi's hair.  I could truly say that I liked both for different reasons. I liked Naruto's hair because the feel of it made you not want to care, to be stubborn.  Kakashi's on the other hand, emitted a feeling of being care-free.  Just roll with the punches, and deal with the cards life has dealt you.  I removed my hands, and turned to go inside the house…only to find Sasuke and Sakura staring at me like I had a third eye.

            "What the…wait a minute, do I even want to know?" Sakura spoke up.

            "Great, another dobe is gonna be living with us…" Sasuke said while turning to leave.

            "Wait!" I called out to him, "Sasuke…" I swallowed hard. He turned and threw a blank look my way.  Well it would have been blank if it weren't for his face being red from the pepper spray. "Umm, I know we started out…kinda…like…on the wrong foot."

            "Ah…" He responded while arching an eyebrow.

          "Well…could we just, start over?"

            "…hn…" he nodded, and proceeded to leave once more.

            " Wait, wait! One more thing…" I said while watching him turn around in annoyance. Shit.  "Um…is it alright…I mean, can I…touch your hair..?"

            His eyes widened in shock.  What did he think I was gonna ask? I heard a thud, and looked to see that Sakura had once again, fainted.  Kakashi let out a low chuckle, and Naruto stood there with this stupid grin on his face.  Sasuke looked; no it was more liked glared, at Naruto.  Then, cast an equal look of annoyance Kakashi's way.  Finally he sighed in defeat, and bowed for me to touch his hair.

            "Oh my gawd…" I said, my eyes going wide as my hands had a field day in his hair.

            "What is it?" He asked me, still bowing.

            "Its….Its…sweet baby Jesus, your hair is SO SOFT!!!"

            Sasuke blushed, and then disappeared into the house.  I followed suite, Naruto and Kakashi (who once again, was carrying a fainted Sakura) followed behind me.

            YES!!! This is the part where I describe the layout of the house, IN GREAT DETAIL!! Okay, I walk in and am in what seems to be like a foyer (which is pronounced "fo-yay" cuz it's a friggin FRENCH word for crying out loud!).  To my left there is a staircase, that leads….dun, dun, dun!!! UPSTAIRS! (Gasps can be heard throughout the audience.  I know, who'd have thunk it?) Anyway, to my right is a door, which I'm thinking it is probably a door to a closet or something of that nature.  I look down and realize that I'm walking on one of those plastic thingies. (You know those things with the spikes on the bottom that you put down to keep the carpet clean.)  The plasti-trail (you like how I just made up that name, dontcha?) leads straight to the kitchen.  To the left of the kitchen are a few steps that lead down to the living area.  To the right of the kitchen, is a dining area.  There is a patio door behind the table that leads to the back yard.  On the wall farthest to the right of the dining room, there is a door.  A door that leads to…the…GARAGE! (Okay, I'm seriously gonna stop doing that now).

            "Yo…"Kakashi stole my attention away from my house inspection, "Follow me, I'll show you where you're going to be sleeping."

            I followed him, and the fainted Sakura he was STILL carrying, upstairs. At the top of the stairs, to the left, was a bedroom.  We turned right, and further down the hall, on the left side, were two bathrooms.  That's right, they're door to door.  At the end of the hall, there was another bedroom which I recognized to be Sasuke's.  Across from the bathroom were two more rooms.  Kakashi entered the first room on the right, and of course, I followed him.  I was instantly greeted by a blinding… (Get this now)…PINKNESS! After my pupils adjusted, I took a good look around the room I would be sharing with Sakura.  The room was a nice size.  There were some of those glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling.  One window existed on the opposite wall of the door.  It was decorated in pink curtains, tied back with a frilly-lacey like material.  Kakashi walked to the left side of the room and laid Sakura down on her futon; which was covered by hello kitty, badtz maru, and…a Sasuke plushie!!?  I arched in eyebrow at the likeness of the Sasuke plushie and badtz maru, it was so…so, uncanny.

            Kakashi pointed to the closet, opposite of the futon, "There's another futon mattress in there.  I'll be back with some sheets and pillows." *poof* he disappeared.

            I walked to the closet after a few seconds of shock due to Kakashi's departure.  True to his word, I found a rolled up futon mattress, and pulled it out beside Sakura's. I sat on it and looked around while I waited for Kakashi.  The closet was directly behind the door.  To the left side of the door, was a vanity with pictures of Sasuke all over the place.  On the wall with the closet was a bureau (pronounced, "byur-row", yet another French word).  On that were… pictures of…SASUKE!!  I sat on my mattress and just diddle-daddled for about…half an hour!  After another fifteen minutes go by, *poof* Kakashi reappeared.

            "Yo…"

            "What, you had to go pick the cotton to make the sheets?" I asked while rolling back and forth on my rolled up futon mattress as if it were one of those exercise balls.

            "Actually, I went downstairs to get the sheets…and it just so happened that I looked up and saw this set of twins outside the window.  They looked pretty distressed, so I walked up to them, like any good shinobi would do, and asked if I could help them out in any way." Kakashi paused, and his eye morphed into a happy arch.  "It turns out; they both thought they had breast cancer because it runs in their family.  But both admitted they didn't know how to properly execute a self examination, and asked if I could be of any assistance.  So I, dutifully and honorably, obliged to help them.  They then lifted up their shirts—"

            He stopped talking while he watched my jaw hit the floor and me stop "exercising" on my futon.  I arched both eyebrows, and willed my jaw shut.  I looked up to the left in contemplation, then up to the right when perverseness flooded my brain.  My jaw, once again, hit the floor and then a strange smirk took form on my face.  I watched as Kakashi lifted his only visible eyebrow, and looked at me in what I can only guess was a look of curiosity.  I cackled evilly in my mind as I crossed my arms.

            "You know…." I began, tapping my chin with my pointer finger, "I'm more of a visual learner myself…" I finished while holding my jacket open, giving Kakashi an expectant stare.

            Goodness! Talk about a "Kodak Moment".  Kakashi's eye nearly bounced right out of the socket as the bed sheets he was holding hit the floor.  His hair seemed to stand even more on end.  He turned around quickly and his arms looked like they were rubbing, or wiping something from under his mask.

            Sasuke just happened to waltz right in and stopped dead in his tracks.  He stared at me for a moment because I was now sitting, holding my jacket open with a stupid look on my face.  He then looked at Kakashi and seemed to whiten a little.

            "Sensei…you, you're bleeding!?"

            "Hehe…"Kakashi chuckled nervously, wiping his bloody hands on his pants.  "Its okay, Sasuke kun, I'm not harmed…" …that bad.  Damn sexy foreigner girl!

            "Dinner's ready!" Naruto yelled from downstairs.

            I didn't waste any time jumping up and heading out of the room, down the hall and down the stairs.

            "What happened to--"Sasuke started to ask.

                        "Please, don't ask. You can't handle the truth…" Kakashi cut him off and began walking to the door.  He paused before leaving, "Could you wake Sakura chan?  You know how she'll get if we forget about her…"

            Sasuke just nodded his head and proceeded to wake the pink haired shinobi.  Something in his gut told him that he really didn't want to know.

Chewbecky: GOMEN!! Minna san, I think this chapter is somewhat shorter than the first one…

Kakashi: *appearing out of no where* Since I am a jounin, I KNOW that this chapter just happens to be a WHOLE lot shorter than the first one…

Chewbecky: grrr!!*grabs Kakashi, and holds him in a headlock* Anyway…I swear, and by thee I fore swear, that the next chapter will be longer, funnier, and….dun, dun, dun!!! Have some sort of plot by then!

Kakashi: *face turning red, the visible part anyway* you…*gasp* …lie! *gasp*…it's…it's…impossible for you…to do such a thing!

Chewbecky:*tightening her grip* Shut the hell up!! *begins to pull on his ear* Say it…SAT IT, NOW!!

Kakashi: *choking*…please…review! For…the love of..GAWD!!

            Hm
