Chapter 4

Hi guys! Man I'm updating slow! Anyways enjoy! I would just like to thank my new beta reader AutumnCherry who's first job for me was this chapter and I think she has done an amazing job! So thank you!

As I'd expected all the scenery around me faded into white, changing into
Kakashi's cartoon home. Now, it's time for some real fun…

I stood up, boldly deciding to have a look in Kakashi's room. I opened the door and peeked
inside.

Kakashi wasn't asleep, he was sitting up, one of his pervy books in hand. He'd obviously heard me coming as his eye was focused on me as soon as I entered the room.

"Not tired?" He sighed.
"Nope" I replied cheerfully.
He chuckled as he got out of the bed, he was wearing trousers, but his chest was
bare. I could already feel the blood rushing to my cheeks.
"You can get out now. Or do you want to see me get changed?" He smiled half-heartedly.
I realised that I was shamelessly gawping at him, I quickly ran out. I slammed the door, turning around to lean on it for support. God, I was an idiot!

Once he was ready he grabbed a bag of equipment from the table next to the
door and we stepped outside. The air was crisp and cold but I was fine
without wearing a jacket. Kakashi looked at me.
"Your clothes have changed" He said sharply.
"No they haven't! Don't be silly!" I laughed nervously.
Kakashi still seemed to be suspicious but thankfully he chose to drop the subject.
"Well we got to go get Iruka as he's meant to be watching over your training."
Kakashi mumbled so quietly I could barely hear him. He turned at the end of the
street towards a set of houses. I smiled at him.
"You know where he lives?" I asked cheekily.
Kakashi got caught by surprise and even though he was wearing a mask, I could
tell he was embarrassed.
"I… just… do…" Kakashi mumbled at the same volume. I started to laugh.
" I think you're stalking him aren't you!" I giggled.
Kakashi got flustered and put his hand over my mouth.
"Shhhhhh…! People are sleeping and no…I'm not"
He kept his hand over my mouth until my muffled laughter stopped. But Iruka
heard the racket coming from outside and stepped out. He was wearing a plain
black top with matching black bottoms, obviously what he slept in.
"The reason he knows is because he got drunk last year at the Christmas party
in Asuma's house. He got so drunk that he couldn't even tell me where he
lived. So the *** had to stay at my house" Iruka explained.
I sniggered and started to laugh again. Kakashi put his hand back over my
mouth. He looked angrily at Iruka.
"That was a cheap shot Iruka" Kakashi smiled at his friend.
"Well it was either her thinking of you as a stupid drunk or a creepy stalker"
Iruka grinned.
"So what are you two doing here anyway?" Iruka asked tiredly, rubbing one of
his eyes.
"Well the kid isn't tired, so I decided to start her training early. I was going to get you as you are also meant to watch over her training
but if you're too tired..." Kakashi smiled, leaving his challenge in the air.
"No! Just let me get changed!" Iruka shouted excitedly as he hastily ran back
into his house.

I leaned against the brick wall just outside the house and
grinned. In a few minutes I was going to start my training! But as well as excitement I also felt apprehension. I'd never been particularly sporty, what if I completely failed the training?

Once Iruka had changed, we were finally able to leave for the training
grounds. We went straight up from the house. After a few minutes the
city scenery slowly changed to a, quiet, open space in the forest. Strapped to the
trees were metal outlines of people with white and red targets painted on it.
Target practice.
"Okay Chika" Kakashi announced as he pulled a kunai out of the rucksack.
"We're gonna start simple. Take the kunai and throw it at one of the targets."
He smiled and handed the weapon to me, placing it in my small hands.
"Don't I throw it a certain way?" I asked nervously.
"First I want to see if you have any raw talent" Kakashi explained.
I was so scared. I didn't know anything about kunai! Well maybe a little from
watching the series, but the knife-thing I was holding was made for killing; if I made a wrong move I could end up seriously hurting someone! But I had to try. Iruka stayed quiet as I gripped the handle of my kunai. I lifted it above my head I shut my eyes and
swung the kunai downward to hit the target nearest the ground. But as I'd expected things only went terribly wrong; the kunai turned in mid-flight and the handle hit it instead,
it bounced off and flew up into the air again. But now it was aiming for a
different target. As the Kunai came into hitting range Kakashi quickly ducked.
It was a close cut as the Kunai sliced the very tip of his hair. I covered my
face in embarrassment as Iruka started to laugh like a maniac.
"Well you pass on my terms! Good hit!" Iruka snorted loudly.
Kakashi stood back up, not seeming to care that I'd nearly sliced and diced him.
"Well at least you tried" Kakashi said softly.
"Tried! She had her friggin eyes closed!" Iruka laughed even harder.
Kakashi looked at me in a mixture of dis-belief, fear and anger.
"You had your eyes closed!" Kakashi gasped.
I started to giggle at his expression. It then bloomed into a full laugh so it
could join Iruka's.
"Okay!" Kakashi yelled.
This brought a halt to the laughter.
"We've got allot of work to do! Now pick up the kunai and we'll start from the
beginning" He instructed sternly. This was going to be a long night...

I gasped with joy as the kunai hit the middle of the target. I did it! It took
me two and a half hours but I DID IT! Kakashi sighed with relief and Iruka

wooped.

"Congratulations you past your first unit! Well we will have to make you do it
a few times more but still!" Iruka cheered. "Lets go out for ramen for a
treat! Kakashi's paying."
Kakashi nodded in agreement, it seemed my success had also put Kakashi in a
lighter mood. I wasn't really hungry before but after that training I'm
starved. Time to see what Naruto always raves about!

I froze in astonishment when the large bowl of noodles, vegetables and meat was placed in
from of me. It was massive! I grabbed the chopsticks and fiddled them gingerly
in my hand. Iruka stared at me.
"You haven't used chopsticks before?"
"No... where I um... used to live we eat with... different things to... eat
with..." I mumbled.
Iruka still looked confused, but shook it off and spent a few long moments
teaching me how to hold and use them.
"You're a fast learner" Iruka commented as he watched me deftly take my first blissful mouthful of noodles. Surprisingly after a few minutes I had eaten the whole lot. Just then I remembered, KAKASHI. I quickly
turned round but I was too late, Kakashi had finished and had already pulled
his mask back up. Damn! How come if you try to see his face you never succeed?
Oh well... I sighed and placed the chopsticks together in the bowl. Kakashi
seen that everyone had finished and placed the money on the counter. He then
did a hand sign, and just like that in a puff of smoke he was away.
"Does he always do that?" I asked, turning to Iruka.
"Yep, pretty much." Iruka sighed.
"Um... Iruka...sensei?"
"Yes Chika?"
"Have you ever seen Kakashi's face?"
"Hmmm... No. I guess I haven't really been bothered about it?"
"But aren't you curious?"

Nope"
I stood up and yawned.
"Well better be getting home"
"Okay then, sleeptight."
But after two steps I froze.
"What's the matter?" Iruka asked.
"Um Kakashi left me so I... don't know where he lives" I explained nervously.
"Uh... he's so irresponsible..." Iruka hissed.
Once Iruka escorted me back to Kakashi's house. Kakashi apolygised and mumbled
to Iruka and let me back inside. Then just like before he walked into his room
and shut the door. I felt overcome with fatigue when I noticed the comfortable looking duvet and pillow on he couch.I deserved some sleep. I slipped under the covers and
closed my eyes.

I awoke to Kakashi shaking my shoulders, I turned to the clock on the wall. 6am; way too early for someone who'd spent half the night awake, to be getting up.
"Kakashi sensei I'm tired..." I yawned, drilling my face deep into
my pillow.
Kakashi raised an eyebrow at my moaning.
"Don't worry, I'm just going to meet up with some of my other students for
training"
"You mean Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura?" I yawned.
Kakashi looked shocked.
"You know them?"
I suddenly realised my mistake. I tried to recover.
"Umm... I heard Iruka... yeah Iruka...sensei told me about it" I babbled.
Kakashi just shrugged and decided to leave it as he was in a hurry.
"Well you rest now...you deserve it" He mumbled as he grabbed his rucksack and
walked briskly outside the door and shut it gently behind him. I put the dial
close to my face. I guess I should be getting back to my own world now... oh
well... I turned the dial, my dream world suddenly turned into darkness.
