Chapter 3

"Hey Kakashi would you mind if I went on the mission with you? Alex asked after Kakashi told her about the mission.

"Why do you want to go?"

"I have my reasons. So, can I?"

"No."

"Why?" She whined.

"I have my reasons."Kakashi said smirking.

"Please, it's really important that I go."

"The mission is going to be very dangerous and you're not even a ninja." Kakashi said in a very serious tone.

"Fine be that way." Alex snapped leaving the bed room. The rest of the night they didn't talk too much.

The next day Alex woke up around nine in the morning, finding a note on the refrigerator from Kakashi. It said he's training and won't be back till noon and Alex is not allowed to leave the house. Why can't I leave the house? But I'm grateful that he didn't wake me up this time to go train. She thought putting the note back on the refrigerator.

Kakashi came home around noon. They stayed inside the house the rest of the day. Alex just watched TV while Kakashi read his book. She was watching some game show when the that body wash commercial came on again. Oh, my god my thoughts are turning naughty again...Must control them...Don't think about Kakashi in the shower with water cascading down his hard rip muscular chest....."Alex!" Hearing her name her thoughts to came to a halt.

"What?" She said turning her head to Kakashi.

"You're such a pervert." Kakashi said chuckling to himself.

"Excuse me?" Alex said.

"You were ogling my TV. Having dirty thoughts are we?" Kakashi said shaking his head like he was disappointed in her.

"I was not." She said knowing she was lying.

"It's was written all over your face."

"This is coming from the pervert reading his perverted book."

"It's a good book."

"Well, it was a good commercial." Alex said wishing she that didn't after realizing how that came out.

"I bet it was." Kakashi said chuckling a little.

"Whatever." Alex said facing the TV.

It was around five in the afternoon when Alex decided it was a good time to ask about the mission again.

"Can I go on the mission?"

"I already told you no."

"You don't understand I need to go."

"Why?"

"I can't tell you."

"Then the answer is no and that's final." Kakashi said sternly.

"Why? You are being unreasonable. I can take care of myself. Hello, did you forget I know what's going to happen."

"It's still too dangerous."

"God, I can't believed you're not going to let me go." Alex said heading toward the front door. She decided she need some fresh and to come up with a plan to get Kakashi to let her go.

"Kakashi, I'm going out for a little bit." Alex shouted as she opened front door.

"Wait. I'm going with you." Kakashi said walking up towards her.

"No, I want to go by myself." I can't believe I just shot down a chance to go on a walk with Kakashi Hatake. But I do need some time to think. Plus, this gives me a chances to explore Konoha. Alex thought.

"I don't care. Did you forget that I'm supposed to be watching you?"

"No, but ever heard of personal space?"

"You never seen to have a problem with that before."

Alex started to blush a little.

"I'm not going to win, am I?"She asked

"Nope."

Their walk turn to quite the adventure for Alex. She almost had a fangirl moment when she found out that they were going to eat at Ichiraku Ramen Bar for dinner.

"Are you serious? We're going to eat here?!" Alex squealed.

"Well yeah, is that okay?"

"Is that okay? It awesome!"

"Calm down, you are starting to act like Naruto."

"Sorry." Alex said taking a deep breath.

As they were leavening the Ichiraku Ramen; they ran into Guy, Lee, and Neji.

"Well, look what we have here, it's my greatest rival. Oh, Kakashi who is this beautiful women with you?" Guy asked trying to sound smooth.

"Her name is Alex."Kakashi said not really paying attention to Guy.

"My name is Guy, and this Neji and Lee." Guy said.

"Oh, nice to meet you." Alex said. Well, I can check them of my list of people to meet. 8 down only like 20 more to go.

All of a sudden Guy grabbed both of Alex's hands into his own bring her out of her thoughts."Listen if Kakashi ever mistreats you; you just come and find me and I will take care of him for you. Because someone as lovely as you shouldn't have to put up with him." Guy said with tears running down his face.

"Guy sensei, you're so cool." Lee said with tears running down his face.

Neji shook his head in shame for being associated with these two.

"Thanks, but I don't Kakashi would ever mistreat me or anyone for that matter." Alex said a little creep out by Guy's crying.

"Trust me, men are such horrible beast. They will take advantage of innocent girls if given an opportunity." Guy said waving his right fist in the air like he was trying to scare something off.

"I see." Alex said taking back her hands from Guy, not trying to laugh at him.

"Kakashi, my rival why didn't tell me you had a girlfriend?"

"What? Did you say something?" Kakashi said looking up from his book.

"Ahh...Look at him trying to be so cool." Guy shouted.

"I'm not his girlfriend." Alex said.

"Oh, that's great. Kakashi, let's have a challenge and whoever wins gets a date with Alex" Guy said winking at her.

"I'm not a prize." Alex said not happy about the idea of going on a date with Guy if Kakashi lost.

"Since you picked the last challenge, I get to pick it this time. And I challenge you to a thousand pushups."

"That's going to take forever." Alex whined.

"You right, I don't want to make my angel wait." Guy said winking at her again. Making her want to slap her face at his lameness.

"How about a race once around the village?"Guy asked.

"Sure, why not." Kakashi agreed wanting to get this over with.

"Ready, set and go."Lee shouted and both Kakashi and Guy took off.

"How long is this going to take?" Alex asked.

"Not long." Neji said.

Must fight the urge of touch his long gorgeous hair. Alex thought eyeing Neji hair. I wonder if Kakashi would mind me playing with his hair?

"I'll see you guys later." Alex said walking back home wanting to make it back before the sun fell.

"You not going to see who wins?" Lee asked.

"I'll can find out later."

Alex was half way home when she realized she got herself lost. She been walking a good 20 minutes and it already was dark. Jesus, how big is Konoha?

Yelling bought Alex out of her thoughts and saw three guys harassing some women about 20 feet from her. All of them were ugly, one was kind of fat with brown hair. The second guy was tall with brown hair and the third guy had blonde hair and the shortest in the trio.

"Come on baby. Just a few drinks."

"No, now let me pass."

"Well, you don't have a choice, girly." The blonde guy said grabbing the woman by the arm.

"Let go of me!!!"

I know I should go get help. But I can just leave, what happens if something happens...I need to help. Damn my sense of justice. I can take these guys, I hope. Maybe if I scare them, they will leave.

"Look over there. We have are selves another friend to join our party." The tall guy said.

Shit, I been spotted. I should run, but what about the other girl. Alex froze for a second before speaking. "Hey, let her go! Dickheads! If you don't I'm going to have to kick your ass!"

"Oh, looks like we have a fighter?"The Tall guy said walking towards Alex giving her a creepy look. This caused Alex to take start walking backwards.

"Alex!" All of sudden four figures appeared in front of her.

Alex recognized that voice, it was Kakashi.

"Kakashi. Am I glad to see you." Alex said looking at him.

"Shut up!" Kakashi hissed.

Meanwhile Lee and Guy were beating up those three punks and left to take them to jail. While Neji helped the women by walking her home.

"What the hell where you thinking?" Kakashi asked trying not to yell.

"I was trying to help that girl out."

"You should have ran away and got help. And why the hell did you leave without me?" Kakashi scolded.

"I was bored and wanted to go home."

"You could have been severely hurt or worse. You know that I'm responsible for you." Kakashi said raising his voice a little. The way that guy look at her..He's lucky Guy got to them first. Kakashi thought getting angrier.

"Well, excuse me for thinking I'm old enough to walk around without a babysitter." Alex spitted out.

"That's not what I'm talking. Did you actually think you could have beaten up those guys?"

"Excuse me, for trying do the right thing and you know what ; I'll save you the trouble of being responsible for me. I'll go talk with Lady Tsunade, right now since I'm such a pain in your ass!" Alex said now raising her voice. She started to walk off, but was stop when Kakashi grab her right arm. He made her turn around to face him again.

"Did you think if you could beat those guys up I would let you go on the mission or something?" Kakashi asked trying to keep his angry under control. Oh, god. What the hell could she have been thinking. Was she trying to prove something?

"What? No, I was just trying to do the right thing."She said pissed off now.

"You're lucky that we showed up when we did. Do you know what could have happen?"

"Yes, I do. But I just couldn't leave that girl by herself." Alex said. I do know what could have happen, but I couldn't just leave her there. I understand where he is coming from, but still.

Kakashi let go of her arm and the two of them just stood there thinking for a few minutes. Kakashi couldn't blame her for wanting to do the right thing, but he was still mad at her for being so stupid.

Breaking the silence Alex spoke first.

"I'm sorry."She said looking down at the ground.

"Huh.."

"I'm sorry okay. I know what I did was stupid, but I couldn't just do nothing." Alex said hoping Kakashi would understand where she was coming from.

"Okay. Just don't do it again. If that ever happens again you will run and get help. Understand? Just run. And you are not a pain in my ass." Kakashi said not sounding as upset anymore.

"Hey guys, don't worry we took care of those punks."Guy said walking up to Kakashi and Alex with Lee following behind him.

"Alex are you okay? Did those guys.." Guy was cut off by Kakashi. "She fine, Guy."

"Good. Oh, I'm sorry Alex but I didn't win the challenge." Guy said trying to lighten the mood.

"It's okay." Alex said glad at the fact that he didn't win.

"But don't worry because next time, I'll win. Kakashi, you better take care of her. She so young and naive you better treat her right. You should treat her like a glass egg." Guy said trying to have a serious expression on his face.

"Oh, I would but she likes being treated rough, she not a fan of two hand touch." Kakashi said smirking at Alex. Kakashi thought this would be a good time to embarrass her for giving him such a hard time tonight.

Wait did he just say..I can't believe he just said that. It was just a song. Alex thought becoming embarrassed. Well two can play that game. She thought smirking.

"Kakashi, don't confused yourself with me. You're the one you needs a mop and bucket to clean up his mess."Alex snapped back.

"I didn't confuse anyone. I heard you say that and you even said that you like to do it like" before Kakashi could finish his sentence Alex screamed "SHUT UP!!!"

Guy couldn't believe what he was hearing. He just stared at the two. However Lee didn't get what was going on.

"Guy sensei what did Kakashi mean by she like being treated rough? Does she like being hit or something?" Lee asked.

Kakashi was laughing on the inside at Lee's question to Guy. Alex wanted to kick Kakashi in his balls for even bringing it up.

"Well Lee, you see...What I mean..is...Sometimes in couples.. one of the partner might.." Guy said becoming uncomfortable at the question.

Realizing Guy's embarrassment Alex deiced to be nice and step in. Even thought she thought it was funny.

"I got it, Guy." Alex said walking over to Lee. Then she started to whisper into Lee's ear. About a minute later Lee face was so red it looked like it was going to explode. Alex took a step back and said "Understand now?"

Lee just nodded his head in response. No wonder Guy sensei couldn't answer. I don't believe people do stuff like that. Lee thought.

"Well, my rival it's getting late. So I'll shall see you later. Oh, and Alex thanks for explaining for me. Come on Lee" Guy said walking off with Lee.

"So, what did you tell him?" Kakashi asked referring to Lee.

"I'll tell you if you let me go on the mission with you."

"Nope. Besides I don't think I want know anyway. It's probably something disturbing."

"For your information I kept it PG-13. Pervert."

"Insulting me not going to convince me of letting you go" Kakashi said smirking.

"Whatever, I'm going even if you say no. I'll just go ask the Hokage."

"Alex, the Hokage is going to tell you no, but if you want to try then go ahead. I'll escort you there tomorrow."

"Fine."

They made it back home. The rest of night was calm and quiet.

The next day at the Hokage's office. "What?"Alex said horrified at what the Hokage just said.

"I said it's not up to me, but Kakashi. Since he will be the one watching you on the mission." Tsunade said.

"Fine. Thank you for your time." Alex said before leaving the office.

I have to go. I need to save him. Alex thought walking ahead of Kakashi since she was pissed at him. That's when it hit Alex I don't need to go with them on the mission. I can just go by myself. I can't believe I didn't think of that before. And I can leave today. She thought smirking to herself. but first I need to go buy a backpack.

"Kakashi, I need a backpack."

"Why? You're not going on the mission."

"I know, but that doesn't I can't have a backpack."

"Fine." Kakashi said knowing there was an another motive behind the backpack.

They made it back home with Alex' new backpack. She started to head towards the bedroom to pack her clothes. Kakashi followed wanting to see what she was up to. Alex saw Kakashi there standing in the doorway staring at her. "Can I help you?"She asked

"Nope."

"Okay then." Alex said starting to put clothes in her backpack.

"I told you, you aren't going."

"Who said I'm going with you. I know where to go for the most part. And it's not like you can stop me" Alex said looking at Kakashi.

"Why do you want to go so badly?"

"I can't tell because I don't think you would let me go."

"Great point, now I'm definitely not letting you go."

"You're not the boss of me. You only met me about four days ago. Why should you care what I do."

She had him there. They barely knew each other or should he say he doesn't know her , but she has grown on him in a way. There was just something about her.

"Just tell the reason why and I'll let you go on the mission." Kakashi said wanting to know why and he figured she would be safer with them then her wondering off by herself.

"No matter the reason?"Alex questioned.

"Yes."

"I have to save someone."

"If this is about Jiraiya." Alex cut Kakashi off "What? No, it's about someone else."

"Who?"

"....."

"Who is it?" Kakashi said getting a little irritated that Alex was taking so long to answer.

"Itachi Uchiha." There Alex finally said it. She stared at Kakashi waiting for him to change his mind.

"Excuse me?"

"I said Itachi Uchiha."

Kakashi couldn't believe what she just said. Why would she want to save that monster. He thought.

"Can I still go?"

"I don't go back on my word, but why?"

" Why..What?"

"Why do you want to save him?" Kakashi asked thinking I wonder who or what she has to save Itachi from? Is it from Sasuke?

"I have my reasons and that's all I can say." Alex said seriously. She couldn't tell Kakashi that Itachi was actually a good guy. It wasn't her place to tell anyone about Itachi's past like how would Kakashi feel if she went around telling everybody how he got his sharingan.

"Well, finishing packing because we are leaving tomorrow. Oh, your clothes that you wore when you arrived are over there on the dresser." Kakashi said turning to leave.

They spoke little the rest of the night and Kakashi told her she should go to bed since they'll leaving early in the morning. Alex listened and went to bed, but only to wake two hours later to use the bathroom.

She sprinted to the bathroom thinking why hell did I have to drink so much water before I went to bed.

She flung opened the bathroom, but stop dead in her tracks. She couldn't believe what was in front. She stood there for a good 5 seconds and just stared. Then realized that she should probably leave.

"Sorry!" She yelled slamming the door shut. She ran back to bed and laid back down. Her heart beating ridiculously fast and her face was cherry red. I can't believe I just saw Kakashi naked. Good thing his back was to me. I wonder if he's mad, it's not like I saw anything important like his face. Well, it's his fault, he should have locked the door. But god did you see his back, his arms...his butt. Well, at least I'll have sweet dreams tonight. Oh God, I'm such a pervert. Damn it, he needs to hurry up and get out of the bathroom. I still need to pee! She thought getting off the bed. She walk over to the bathroom door and knocked. "Can you please hurry up and I need to use the bathroom."

"Did you come back for second?" Kakashi shouted through the door.
