Author's Note: Alright here is the second chapter. There is still no pairing... seeing that I haven't gotten a single review yet. (T_T) But the story must go on! And remember the pairing can be straight or a yaoi pairing. The only requirement is that it is with my OC, Kioshi. And if none of the pairings you, the readers suggest appeal to me then the pairing will be KioshixSakura. So please review! (^_^)
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Naruto characters..... I just borrow them.

The early the next morning the group headed out on a straight path to Konoha. Kioshi and Kakashi were a few paces behind the younger ninja. "So are you going to give me an answer today about what you think about Sakura?" asked Kakashi in whisper so only Kioshi could hear. Kioshi looked toward the older man and said, "She is cute but I just like to mess with her is all... at this point." "Mess with her?" asked Kakashi an eye brow raised. "Not in any sexual kinda way... considering that all she has to do is look at me and she blushes. It's just fun to see her get nervous and blush... if anything it makes her more attractive." replied Kioshi with a smirk playing on his lips. "So you do like her." said Kakashi with a sideways glance at the shinobi to his right. "That's for me to know and you to find out, Hatake-san." said Kioshi that same smirk gracing his lips. 'This kid is very interesting.' thought Kakashi with a sigh. They stopped to take a break a few feet from the gate to Konoha. "Hey Haruno-san." said Kioshi, smirk present. Sakura turned to face Kioshi and she blushed as she said, "What is it Akume-kun?" Everyone stared at her except for Kioshi, his smirk was more pronounced and he looked as if he was about to laugh. This only made the pink-haired kunoichi blush a deeper shade of red. Kakashi noticed the pleasure Kioshi got from seeing Sakura embarrassed, even if the pleasure was hidden quite well. Kakashi also noticed that there was no lust or love unless those emotions where hidden where even he couldn't find them. "Sakura-chan.... why are you blushing?" asked Naruto, looking confused. Sai, Kakashi, and Kioshi all face-palmed. 'Man... that kid is slow.' thought Kioshi the smirk no longer there and Sakura had stopped blushing to punch Naruto in the head. "Ow... what was that for?!" shouted Naruto as he held his pounding head. "For being a complete idiot!" shouted Sakura, her hand on her hips. Suddenly Naruto straightened up and pointed his index finger at Kioshi and shouted, "Let's fight!" "Are you kidding me? I'd kill you easily even if I am injured." said Kioshi another smirk on his face. "Oh really then prove it!" shouted Naruto as he charged Kioshi with a kunai at the ready. Kioshi stepped to the left and in one quick motion had his hand clasped around Naruto's neck, not using all of his force but enough for air to pass slowly to Naruto's lungs. Kioshi let go a moment later, leaving Naruto to cough and sputter as he regained the ability to breathe normally. "See I told you I could kill you easily." said Kioshi with a smirk. Kakashi stared at Kioshi with surprise. 'This shinobi isn't to be taken lightly even if he is injured. He obviously has the skills of an Anbu... better yet he has the skills of an Anbu captain.' After the little incident they headed into the village. Naruto was pouting because he lost in an embarrassing way. "Okay.... Sai, Sakura, Naruto, you are dismissed. Go home and take a well deserved break." said Kakashi as he looked over the chuunin before him. "Okay." said Naruto, Sai, and Sakura in unison and they walked off. "Akume-san, you are to come with me to the Hokage tower." said Kakashi as he nodded in the direction of the large tower that seemed to loom over the village. Kioshi nodded, "I figured you where going to take me there, after all I am still an enemy." 'True... he is but I don't think Tsunade-sama is going to lock him away especially when he could be an asset to Konoha's military power.'
They arrived at the tower and were in the Hokage's office in a matter of minutes. "So Kakashi-san if I have this correctly this kid has the skills to be an Anbu captain and you have a strong feeling that he won't betray us." said Tsunade, her arms crossed over her large bust. "That's correct." said Kakashi sounding completely confident. "Well that's all fine and well that you believe in him, but what does he have to say about it.?" asked Tsunade as she looked over to Kioshi who was leaning against the wall his arms folded over his chest. "What Hatake-san said is correct. I won't betray the people who have given me their trust. And he is also correct with my skill level." said Kioshi calmly. "Hm... we do need more Anbu. Well then I guess you have just become the newest member of Konoha's Anbu Black Ops. And since it was Kakashi-san's idea, you can live with him until you can buy your own apartment." said Tsunade who had to place her hand over her mouth to prevent herself from laughing at the expressions on Kakashi's and Kioshi's faces. 'But I only have a one bedroom apartment.' thought Kakashi as he sighed and shrugged his shoulders. "Come on let me show you to my apartment." said Kakashi sounding a little frustrated. Kioshi simply nodded and followed Kakashi out of the office. "Well here it is." said Kakashi with a sigh. Kioshi looked around, there was a nice sized kitchen, a good sized living room, a small hallway that had a few doors."Well it seems nice, Hatake-san. So where is my room?" asked Kioshi as he continued to look around. "Um... about that..." Kakashi trailed off. "What?" asked Kioshi as he looked at Kakashi an eye brow raised. "There is only one bedroom and one bed." said Kakashi, shaking his head. "What?!.... and she expects me to what sleep with you?" asked Kioshi, who blushed the instant he realized what he said sounded quite suggestive. Kakashi stared at Kioshi and couldn't help but to think, 'He looks rather cute when he is blushing. Wait.... wait.... did... I... just... think?!' Kakashi shook his head and Kioshi tried to recover by saying, "You know what I mean." The blush still present on his face. "I do know what you mean." said Kakashi with a smirk that was hidden under his mask. Kioshi just glared at him, when he caught the sarcasm in the statement and sat down on the couch. Kakashi sat down next to him. Meanwhile Naruto was in his apartment punching the stuffing out of a stuffed doll out of frustration from earlier. Sai was outside doing some sketches. Sakura was relaxing on her couch and watching TV. The people of Konoha were out and about buying and selling goods. The weather was nice and the birds were singing. There wasn't a cloud in the sky. Kioshi decided to go take a walk to familiarize himself with the village's layout. He decided to uses the tops of buildings to run on top of and get a better angle to see the land's layout. Kakashi decided to take a shower after all he needed one. Kioshi arrived back at the apartment and unlocked the door with the key Kakashi had given him. Just as he turned around after closing the door, his gaze met a nearly naked Kakashi standing outside the door to what Kioshi presumed to be the bathroom in nothing but a towel wrapped loosely around his waist. Kioshi couldn't help the blush that found its way onto his cheeks. Kakashi smirked as he walked up to Kioshi and pushed him up against the door and pressed his body against Kioshi's. "Hatake-san what... are you doing?" asked Kioshi innocence obviously in his voice. "What does it look like?" asked Kakashi as he pressed his taller and slightly stronger frame against Kioshi's shorter one. "This isn't right... we aren't supposed to do this." said Kioshi as he struggled to get free. Kakashi then backed off and walked down the small hallway and disappeared into his room. 'What's going on? Why did Hatake-san do that? Why did I kind of like it.? It's like how I feel when I get Haruno-san all nervous and embarrassed.' Kioshi wondered as he sat down on the couch. He lost himself in deep thought. 'Why did I do that? Why did I enjoy the feeling of Akume's body beneath mine?' Kakashi shook his head as he finished getting dressed. He walked out of his room and found Kioshi sitting on the couch, deep in thought. So instead of disturbing him Kakashi went into the kitchen to make dinner. Kioshi returned to reality when he smelled something delicious. He turned his head to see the small table set for two people and the food looked so good. Kioshi stood up and walked over to the table, he waited until Kakashi took his seat before he sat down across from the older man. They ate in silence. "Listen, I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable earlier." said Kakashi after he cleaned up the dishes. Kioshi shook his head, "No... it's alright, I was just surprised but I don't really like it. I've had a bad experience with someone doing that to me." Kakashi looked surprised and then felt bad because he had forgotten that Kioshi had been under Orochimaru's control and there was no doubt that he would do anything to show his underlings he was the authority. "I'm sorry, I forgot about where you came from." said Kakashi as he scratched the back of his head nervously. "It's okay." said Kioshi with a small almost non-existent smile. Kioshi slept on the couch that night while Kakashi slept in his room.
Author's Note: Well I hope you all liked the chapter. (^_^) Please review and tell me what pairing you would like to see! Remember it is Kioshix?
Kioshi: why are you making me look bi?
Me: because I need to show the readers your potential in either a straight or yaoi pairing.
Kioshi: well I would prefer to be straight. I don't like looking like a wimp.
Me: well it doesn't matter what you prefer to be, it matters what the readers and I think you should be.
Kioshi: -glares at the author- I still think I should be straight.
Me: whatever you say. And again please review! (^_^)
