Kotetsu Hagane and Izumo Kamizuki were completely bored out of their minds. Due to a small screw up that occured at the end of their latest mission, they had been put on gate duty for the past two and a half months. Izumo looked at his friend and sighed. While he was tired of guarding the gate since nothing ever happened at it, Kotetsu was just fine to be lounging around and really doing nothing at the gate with no real expectations of him. At times the man even seemed to be happy about it. Izumo could never understand his mentality and never would.
Just as he was about to strike up a conversation with his partner, he saw four figures in the distance walking towards the gate. He squinted and just make out the form of Kakashi reading his book as he led his team back to the village. "Hey Kotetsu, look who has finally come back from their first real mission as a team outside the village."
Kotetsu grumbled as he sat up from his resting position. When he saw Kakashi and the others, a grin broke out on to his face. "Hey you guys! How was the mission!?" he yelled out to the oncoming ninja before his smile slowly fell as they came closer. It was always great to see the same amount of people return from a mission as left for it. That was unless the people coming back weren't completely the same as those who left. "Eh, Kakashi, where's Naruto and who's the cute little girl you guys brought back with you." He gave Kamiko a quick once over and his eyes widened. "And why does that girl have one of the Legendary Seven Swords!?"
Kakashi gave the men his trademark eye smile before walking past them. "Don't worry about it you guys. Nothing bad happened, and you might find out what did sooner or later." Sasuke and Sakura walked past them as well with the girl following behind them.
"Huh, I wonder what that was about," Kotetsu mused as he leaned back into a comfortable position. He decided it best to forget about the large weapon on the girl's back.
Izumo nodded his head in agreement before smiling. "Yeah, didn't know you were a lolicon though Kotetsu." His friend sputters as he fell backwards.
"Those guys need to get a life," Kamiko said as she looked back on them as Izumo was laughing. "You'd think that they liked just hanging around the gate."
Kakashi nodded his head. "Those two just can't seem to get their act together. Though don't go and underestimate them Kamiko-chan. They are strong when it really comes down to it."
"I'm not talking to you," Kamiko said emotionlessly before walking past everyone to the Hokage Tower.
"Wow. Was the ribbon that important to her or something?" Sakura asked as they let her get a small ways ahead of them. "I mean, Kamiko isn't the warmest person, but that shoulder was made of nothing but pure ice."
"Unfortunately yes," Kakashi sighed, "and Kamiko can hold a pretty long grudge Sakura-chan." The girl suddenly shivered for some unknown reason.
Sasuke snorted. "What's so important about a freaking ribbon? Just get another one just like it. Done."
"That's not possible Sasuke-kun. You see, that ribbon isn't just any ribbon. It's not really even a ribbon at all, but a piece of clothing that Hokage-sama was able to salvage."
"Salvage from where?" Sakura asked as Sasuke thought the question.
Kakashi looked up with a sad expression on his face before looking at Kamiko's bouncing hair. "He salvaged it from a piece of Kamiko's mother's clothing. What was left of it that is." Sakura's eyes widened as Sasuke glared at Kakashi suddenly understanding the true importance of that ribbon.
"I see," was all he said. Kakashi sighed as Sasuke and Sakura walked ahead of him as well. The man was starting to wonder if his Icha Icha was becoming too much of a distraction for him to work properly. No need to say the thought didn't last very long as he found it impossible. The book could never be considered a distraction.
Eventually the four found themselves standing before a somewhat irritated Hokage in his office. After they gave their report on their mission, Hizuren's old face seemed to bore holes into Kakashi's sweating face. "So you are telling that you encountered the Demon Brothers and still continued?" Everyone nodded. "You were confronted by the A-Rank missing ninja, Zabuza Momochi, and still continued?" Again everyone nodded. "That after a fight with Zabuza's apprentice, Haku, Kamiko-chan decided to forgo her disguise from then on?" Kakashi and Kamiko nodded. "And YOU'RE telling me that you didn't find Kamiko's ribbon?" He said the last part to Kakashi making the man feel like a disappointment.
"I was busy taking care of the needs of the mission," Kakashi tried to defend.
"From what you said that wasn't needed. The mission was practically over after the death of Gato. No, it was over as soon as the Demon Brothers arrived." Hizuren shook his head. "But no matter, what's lost is lost, and what's done is done. There is nothing to be done about it. I'll send pay for your first A-Rank mission straight to you accounts."
After a short round of "hais", the Hokage dismissed everyone in the room except Kamiko. "You need something Hokage-jiji," she said with a smile that could warm an icebergs heart.
"Why yes Kamiko-chan. I actually need you to come with me to see Doctor Yuji and Doctor Yukai. You missed you last appointment with them, and your next one is soon approaching. It's probably best to just take care of it now."
The blonde nodded her head while twirling a strand of her hair as the Hokage stood to lead her to her doctors. Originally Doctor Yuji and Doctor Yukai were both nurses in Konoha's main hospital. After an unfortunate attempt on Kamiko's, life via the hospital's medical staff, the two were chosen to become the girl's personal doctors as they showed they had no hate for the young girl. There was another doctor, but he was no longer able to be trusted.
Hizuren led Kamiko through a secret passage the Hokages used when they needed quick and easy access to one of the hospitals in the village. After a few minutes of silent walking, the two found themselves in a hidden room just under the hospital structure. "I'll be right back Kamiko-chan," Hizuren smiled. "I'll bring Yuji and Yukai back to check on you in just a moment." Kamiko smiled her understanding as the man left.
The room he left her in was about the size of the Hokage's office with steel lining its walls and keeping the room chilled. There was a small two seat couch in the corner of the room with a small circular glass table and a lamp next to it. There were a number of paintings hung around the room of different animals, people, and shots of Konoha. Each one of them belonging to the young kunoichi. A person could trace her progress as a painter in this one room, though she carried her best work with her at all times.
Kamiko was looking at one of her early paintings of herself in the mirror, thinking she would remake it, when the Hokage returned back with the doctors. "Ah, Miko-chan your home!" two women said before quickly engulfing the girl into a tight hug.
She giggled as she hugged them back. "It's nice to see you guys too. I was only gone for like a month you know?"
Yukai shook her head as she tapped her foot with crossed arms. The women was average height and in her late twenties. She had short, light auburn hair with kind brown eyes that seemed to compliment her pale skin. In the standard doctor's outfit, one could say the women did well, but not too well in the chest department and was quite slender. "And yet we haven't seen you in almost two."
Yuji nodded her head in agreement. She was slightly shorter than Yukai and in her earlier thirties. Her hair waved down to her shoulders in a dark black cascade, and her eyes were the same as Yukai's. The women's body was lightly plump with all the curves in all the right places. "Yeah, you may only have to see us once a month, but that doesn't mean you can't visit us young lady."
Kamiko scratched the back of her head. "Sorry about that you guys. I had just been caught up in my team ya know. I so would have come seen you guys if it wasn't for that."
"Fine we believe you. Now, you, out of your clothes," they said together while pointing at her before turning to the Hokage, "and you, out of the room."
Hizuren chuckled. "Right, right. After you are all rested up Kamiko-chan go see Anko. I'm sure she would love to take you out shopping for women's clothes now that you won't be using male clothing anymore."
"I won't?" she asked. The three adults in the room just sighed before the Hokage left. Why do I need a change of clothes? These clothes still fit me perfectly. Shrugging, Kamiko decided to ask Anko when she went to see her later. Soon the girl was sitting on the edge of a bed in the middle of the room in just her chest wrappings.
"Those too Miko-chan," Yuji said as she looked at Kamiko.
The young girl's face suddenly heated up. "W-why would I need to take these off Yuji-chan? I never had to take them off before."
Yukai lifted her hand in the air as her other one shifted around in a bag. "Easy Miko-chan. You are getting older and will, if you already haven't, start to develop. The wraps were decoration up until now." Kamiko hesitated before turning her back on the older women. She quickly undid the wraps before covering her chest in an uncharacteristic show of embarrassment. "Miko-chan turn around so we can start."
The girl turned around while still covering her chest. The sight was cute to the doctors as Kamiko's face was as red as could be and was looking away from them with a clearly developing chest. "C-can't I just k-keep my arms like this?"
The two women just rolled their eyes before beginning there inspection of the girl's body. The checkup didn't last very long. They found nothing wrong with the girl other than the fact that even for a girl, she was short for her age. The two chalked it up to genetics or something. Eventually getting her to pull her arms away from her chest, they found no damage to her ribs or lungs from the prolonged use of her bindings.
Just as they were finishing, the girl flew off the bed holding her chest once again. "What the fuck are you trying to do to me!? I thought you only did that to Yuji-chan, Yukai-chan!?"
Yuji laughed as Yukai sighed in defeat with a hand outstretched in front of her. "I was only trying to get a small feel to see if she was firm. Didn't think she'd react like that so fast."
Grabbing her clothes, Kamiko quickly got dressed while glaring at Yuji for laughing. "So not necessary. I'll see you guys later. I need to go see Anko-chan now." The women waved as Kamiko ran out the room and through the hospital.
"So..."
"...firm...she'll grow big..."
"Ah...does this make us pedophiles..."
"...you didn't touch her..."
The next day found Kamiko standing in Training Ground 11 with Sasuke, Sakura, Team 8, and Team 10. The nine Genin stood or sat, or even laid in the case of one, in a semi-circle as they waited for all of their Jōnin senseis. Each one of them had woken up with a note for them to go arrive at Training Ground 11 at noon.
"What do you think they have us all gathered here for?" Choji asked as he munched on a bag of chips.
His best friend Shikamaru sighed as he stared up at the sky. "Who knows Choji, and to be honest I don't think that is the question we should be asking." Everyone around him nodded before looking at Kamiko who stared blankly back at them.
"What?" she said dully. She was wearing another pair of clothes from Tsunami since she was unable to find Anko the other day. "Is there something on my face?"
Ino stepped forward with a raised eyebrow and pointed at her. "Who the hell are you?"
"And where is Naruto-kun?" Hinata chimed in as she looked around for her blond crush.
Tilting her head, Kamiko pointed at herself. "Naruto is right here Hinata-san." Sasuke snorted as Sakura frowned at Kamiko for telling them not to say anything.
"Oh, this is your Sexy Jutsu, but shorter and with clothes on," Kiba said drawing Ino's attention.
"Wow, it has some sort of intelligence after all."
"What you say bitch!?"
"Bitch!?"
The two got in each other's faces just before Shino's bugs did the same and forced the two apart. "Don't do that dude. It's really creepy." Shino just shrugged at his teammate before turning to Kamiko.
"You're not Naruto," Shikamaru said. "What's your name?"
Kamiko sighed and continued pointing at herself. "My name is Uzumaki Kamiko, but you guys know me as Uzumaki Naruto. Why is that so hard to believe?"
"Because me and Naruto have had pissing contest together!" Kiba said drawing disturbed looks from everyone. "What? We were kids back then!"
"Yeah right. I knew you and Naruto had something going on," Ino snickered.
"Bitch!"
"I'll kill you!"
"Oh for the love of Kami I can't do this anymore." Everyone turned to Shikamaru who was rubbing his temples. "She's telling the truth. The girl has been running around disguised as the blond idiot you got to know alright? Now shut up I'm trying to sleep."
Kamiko pouted as she looked at the lazy genius. "Aw man Shika. I was having fun messing with them."
"Troublesome blond," he replied. "I was getting a headache and this just started. It was going to get worse."
"Yet you're the one who started it."
"Wait, wait, wait. So this girl really is Naruto!?" Ino said shocked to receive a nod from Sasuke, Shikamaru, and Sakura. "And the three of you knew the entire time and didn't tell us!?"
Sakura waved her hands in front of her. "No way Ino-bunta! Me and Sasuke found out on our last mission when she decided she wasn't going to hide herself anymore. We were just as shocked, if not more so than you guys." She shifted her gaze on Ino into a glare on Shikamaru. "Him though, I have no idea how he knew about her."
Shikamaru looked up at three accusing glares, three pairs of curious eyes, and a pair of shades. "How troublesome. I met her when she was still walking around as a girl. I only remember because of her nickname for me back then."
"Which was?.." Everyone looked at Kamiko who smiled brightly.
"Lazy Pineapple Man of course!" Sakura and Ino promptly fell out laughing at the ridiculously funny name as Sasuke snickered and Choji patted Shikamaru's shoulder. Shikamaru seemed to be mumbling something about annoying women, but only Choji could hear him.
Hinata was standing staring at the others with blank eyes. I still like her... does that make me gay? Father really won't accept this. But...
Kiba was banging his head on the trunk of a tree. She's seen me naked. She's seen me naked. She's seen me naked. She's seen...
Shino was watching Kamiko laugh with the other girls with a hidden smirk. Ha, I knew I wasn't gay.
As the laughing girls began to calm down, their Jōnin senseis finally appeared. "Sorry we're late you guys. We had... Kiba-san what are you doing?" Kurenai looked at the boy like he was insane.
He slowly turned his head as a small trail of blood leaked down the middle of his forehead. "She's seen me naked." A blank stare was all any of the Jōnin had to offer the boy.
Asuma shook his head. "As Kurenai-san was saying we had to... who is that?" He pointed his finger at Kamiko as the Genin sighed. Sighing, Shikamaru decided to roll over to his sensei and explain the situation leaving both Kurenai and Asuma to stare at Kamiko confused.
"Look," Kakashi said as he read his porn, "We all had to attend a meeting before coming to you all." He pulled out three papers that he held out lazily to his students. "We nominated all nine of you for this year's Chūnnin Selection Exams in Konoha next month. You need to sign this and report to the academy in two weeks if you want to attend." Flicking the papers away, the masked Jōnin left.
Kurenai stared heatedly at the spot Kakashi had been standing in while Asuma just shrugged. "Well, I have nothing to add to that. Come to me if you have any questions." He placed all of his team's papers in Choji's hands before walking off. Kurenai's fist clenched as she shook her head at the two Jōnins lack of fully explaining the situation to their students. Signaling her students to follow her, Kurenai left while mumbling about lazy asses.
After getting a paper from Choji, who went to sit by Shikamaru, Ino walked over to Sakura and Kamiko. "So, you've seen Kiba naked huh?" she asked while smirking.
As Sakura's face became heated from the thoughts of a naked Kiba, Kamiko just shrugged. "Yeah. I mean, I've technically have seen all the guys except Shino and Sasuke naked. And let me tell you, you're not missing much if you never see Kiba naked." Ino fell down laughing as Sakura slumped to the ground mentally scarred.
Ino slowly recovered from her laughter and stared up at Kamiko with a grin. "How did you hide all of that hair of yours Kamiko? There's no way we could have missed it. I mean look at it! If I take out my ponytail I still don't have that much hair!"
Kamiko puckered her lips slightly. "I had a ribbon that was given to me as a present to help tie my hair into itself without tangling it."
"That's pretty cool. What did you do with the ribbon?" Gloomy air suddenly appeared around Kamiko who was now leaning against a tree. A small wavering smile played across her face as she chuckled on and off.
"That ribbon is ground zero bunta," Sakura whispered furiously into her ear. "She lost it on our last mission during the battle and asked Kakashi-sensei to help her find it. The guy flat out refused the girl and almost made her cry from what she told me."
Ino's eyes widened. "Forehead, are you kidding me? You better not be kidding me." Sakura shook her head. "Damn, I can't wait for Kurenai-sensei to hear about this. What else happen? Details! Details!"
Kamiko watched from a distance as Sakura and Ino huddled together. She tried to hear what they were saying, but all she heard was, 'gossip gossip gossip gossip gossip gossip gossip gossip'. I wonder what they are talking about over there.
She watched them until she finally got tired of trying to listen to them. She thought about walking over to the boys, but didn't find a reason to. Seeing as there was nothing for her to do, and she was just waiting for the others to leave so she could train, Kamiko resolved to take a nap on one of the trees, but it was as soon as she sat down that Ino and Sakura appeared in front of her with expectant gazes. "Um... hi?"
Sakura squinted at the girl. "I've been somewhat distracted for a while, but now is a better time to ask than never."
Ino nodded her head. "Yeah, so tell us Kamiko who do you like?"
Kamiko stared blankly at the two girls before her. Just as she was going to say it was none of their business a thought struck her. Blushing, Kamiko looked over at Sasuke several times. "Well... you see..."
Ino and Sakura's eyes widened in horror. "Oh no you don't!" they yelled in unison. "Sasuke-kun is my man!"
"Shut up Ino-bunta! Sasuke is mine! Didn't you get that when I got paired with him and not you!?" Sakura turned her glare on the platinum blond next to her.
Ino crossed her arms. "That doesn't mean anything in the face of love Forehead! My love for Sasuke-kun far out ways yours!"
"That's what you think! Why just the other day Sasuke-kun was telling me how good of a kunoichi I was!"
"Oh bullshit. You aren't even half the kunoichi I am!"
"As if you're a better kunoichi than me!"
"Arrgh! Forehead!"
"Bunta!"
"Forehead!"
"Bunta!"
"Forehead!"
"Bunta!"
"Ushi!"
Sakura's eyes widen at the insult before going red at the face. "You bitch! How dare you!?" Launching herself, Sakura tackled Ino to the ground. The two rolled, punched, and pulled at each other's hair until they heard a soft laughter.
Looking up, they noticed that Kamiko was bent over at the waste and was trying to contain her giggles. "What's so funny?" Ino huffed while sporting a bruise on her cheek.
Sakura glared at her with a blackened eye. "Yeah, what do you have to laugh about?"
Kamiko bit the inside of her cheek as her chuckles shook her body. "Oh nothing, just that you two fell for that so damn easily."
The two girls stared at Kamiko blankly. "Wh-what..?
"Pfft. I don't even like the teme. There's no way he could be a love interest for me. That boy is a pansy anyways." Kamiko laughed as Sasuke glared at her from a distance.
"How can you say that about someone as great as Sasuke-kun!?" Sakura exclaimed.
"Easy, he's just not my type." That blond shrugged her shoulders.
Ino nodded her head. "That's understandable. Then what is your type if not Sasuke's type?" The gossiper in the young heiress far out weighed need for her to defend Sasuke.
A smile played across Kamiko's face as another joke formed in her mind. "Come here and I'll whisper it in your ear Ino." Nodding, the other blond scooted closer. Ready for a juicy tidbit of information. "Well, Sasuke isn't my type because..."
"Because wh..." Ino was cut off mid-sentence as Kamiko's lips smashed on to hers. The girl's eyes widened as Kamiko's hands rose on to her shoulders. Sakura's jaw dropped as she watched both girls fall to the ground with both their lips still locked. Kamiko rolled on top of Ino and pinned the girls hands beside her head.
In the beginning Ino struggled to push her fellow blond off of her, but she soon started to calm down. Her eyes slowly closed before she began kissing Kamiko back and wrapped her fingers into the other girl's.
Ino began to moan as Kamiko pushed her tongue into her mouth and wrapped around hers. Her moans reached the ears of the three remaining boys who turned to be shocked by the sight. Choji dropped his bag of chips on Shikamaru's head who decided it was definitely time to leave. Sasuke blinked rapidly before covering his eyes while activating his Sharingan.
Kamiko's hands began to roam across Ino's body and squeezed on to her breast. The girl gasped as her back arched and her body began to shake. Her shakes lasted for a minute before she finally relaxed completely.
"That," Kamiko said in a sweet voice as she pulled away from Ino's lips, "is why Sasuke isn't my type. Ino-chan~" I could never get this kind of reaction out of that guy. Bouncing up off of the half conscious girl, Kamiko skipped off to find Shikamaru.
Sasuke watched Kamiko leave while Sakura and Choji stared at Ino. Her hand slowly traced her lips as a lazy smile played across her lips. "Wow... that was the hottest kiss I've ever had." She stood and stumbled her way back home while still tracing her lips.
The mental scars... They just keep coming… Was it really that good of a kiss?
Damn, she had to be gay didn't she... That might be a good thing.
That was hot... gotta have a camera next time. Now where did my chips go?
...
...I was supposed to be training wasn't I. Oh well. "Lazy Pineapple Man!"
Damn troublesome woman...
A/N: Sorry that the chapter is short and kinda lacking in... a lot of stuff, but I hope you enjoyed none-the-less. Until next time meh friends.
