Kakashi and Gai waited for a few intense moments for Master to disappear into the house. Quietly they sneaked back into the house where 'mother' stood in the kitchen with their back to them. Kakashi's body tensed as he spotted Master climbing the stairs. He could hear the master yammering and stuttering as he climbed higher and higher. Mai pushed him out of the way and continued down the stairs.

"Kakashi? Gai? Is that you?" She asked in a depressed tone.

"Yes mother." Gai replied cheerfully."Good morning mother." Kakashi rolled his eyes. Gai was such a sycophant that it made him nauseated.

"Pack your things." She said.

"Wait...why?" Gai asked, confused. He looked to Kakashi in disbelief and shock. He couldn't grasp why she would tell them to pack their things. Kakashi knew why and he honestly didn't care. He was more than happy to get out of that house. But one question remained.

"You two are being moved to a different foster home." She replied with her backs still to them.

"Where are we going?" Kakashi asked coolly.

"I believe it is Taka Family."She set plates on the table, there were two less than usual. Gai felt a pang in his heart when he noticed.

Oh great, the pshycho, Kakashi thought to himself. Meanwhile, Gai was becoming frantic.

"I thought..I mean...you can't...they can't-"

"Do not argue with me! Now go!"

"Come on Gai." Kakashi pulled Gai along. Gai hated everything about this. He didn't want to leave this family. He didn't want another family or another house. But what choice did he have? So they entered the boys room and dug out brown suitcases. Kakashi handed Gai his suitcase and started packing his clothes.

"How could you be so calm? This is a major deal." Gai asked, sitting down.

"How else am I suppose to feel?Besides it's not that big of a deal." Kakashi stated carelessly, folding a shirt and tucking it into the suitcase.

"Aren't you suppose to feel sad? Or angry?"Gai asked as he started packing his clothes.

Kakashi paused to study his feelings. So far, "I don't feel those feelings at all."

"Why not?"Kakashi looked at Gai annoyed but calmed down. He remembered that Gai had never gone through this before.

"Because I've been through many homes. Moving doesn't affect me."

"You have been in many homes?"

"Yeah, I don't remember how many."

"You've been in that many? So I guess you know everyone?"

"Yeah I suppose so."

"Yet you don't hang out with anyone besides yourself."

"I prefer to be alone."

"Why?"

"You can't get hurt." Kakashi whispered. Gai felt sad. He saw Kakashi as a cool guy, one of those very popular guys with tons of friends. Gai's still learning the fact of looks are deceiving.

"I bet you'll meet someone who won't hurt you."

"Not in this life time. Not for this kid." Kakashi finished packing."You better hurry, the Workers will be here soon."

Slowly and sadly, Gai packed his things. Which wasn't much. His parents didn't leave him with much; a green jumpsuit his father wore to every mission, their wedding rings and a blanket Gai had since he was born. These were the only things he was allowed to take with him. Everything else he had to leave behind. Now he had to leave behind a family he hoped would adopt him. But it would seem they had other plans.

He walked down the stairs where Kakashi was sitting by the door. Gai set his suitcase of the ground and sat on it.

"Are they adopting us? This other family." Gai asked, hopeful.

"I highly doubt it."Kakashi said, feeling slightly guilty breaking Gai's hopes." The Taka's are not known for adopting kids are age."

"What age group does he adopt?"

"Babies, toddlers, infants. You know, children who will be easier to take care of."

Mai waved good bye to them and walked off. The other boys refused to say good bye, they either didn't understand or didn't care. Kakashi didn't care, he knew he would see them again.

"We'll see them again." Kakashi assured the depressed kid. Kakashi was slightly surprised to see Gai depressed. But then again, depression was normal among orphaned village children.

The door opened and two men in black dress suits walked in. Gai hid behind Kakashi who didn't seem to be afraid.

"Greetings." 'Mother' said, walking in."I suppose we have better get down to business."She pushed the boys forward."Go ahead and take them. I hope they will find a better home."Kakashi knew she hated good byes and talking business in the house. It just didn't settle right with her.

Behind them were two small girls. The Men in Suits gave the girls over and took Kakashi and Gai's luggage. Gai watched them carefully.

"Kakashi Hatake and Might Gai are coming with us." One of them said and put his hand on Gai's back. Aimlessly Gai grabbed Kakashi's hand. Kakashi knew he was scared and he couldn't blame him. Kakashi was scared at first too, but over the years he's gotten use to it.

"Let's go."Kakashi said, guiding Gai outside. Gai looked over his shoulder only to see the door was closed. He looked forward upset that he couldn't say goodbye.

During their walk, Gai was silent the whole time. Kakashi knew what he was thinking; does a new family mean a new life? Will they have different rules? Will they like me? It was the same questions he asked himself before many times. He could tell that Gai was scared. Going into a strangers house is never fun. Even if you're living with them for a short while.

They walked with the Men in Suits for about a mile until they reached a house right in the middle of the village. The house was huge and the front yard was covered with toys and bikes. A bunch of girl toys and random pink things. The front door opened and a tall, large woman walked out with a scary smile on her face. Gai backed away slightly as she walked to them.

"Hello Kakashi welcome back to our family."She hugged Kakashi tightly. Then she looked at Gai. Gai hoped that he wouldn't have to be hugged." I see you've brought a brother with you. What's your name?"She put Kakashi down and hugged Gai.

"I'm Might Gai."Gai choked and Kakashi chuckled.

"Gai, what a lovely name."She set him down and faced the Men in Suits." Well thank you gentlemen I will be happy to take care of them."SHe picked up the suitcases and gently pushed them into the house. The house was not only bigger but brighter than the other house. The first room was dandelion yellow with a stair case in the corner. To the left was a violet room with a large sofa and two small chairs sat in the center. A red haired girl sat in one of the small chairs. Looking up the stair case, Kakashi saw a girl with bright red eyes and black hair coming down stairs.

"Kurenai darling meet your new brothers."

"They're not my brother's. I'm only here until my father returns." She stomped passed them and out the door.

"Kurenai isn't a people person dears. In the living room here is Haruko."

"Hello."She said not looking up from her book. Kakashi remembered her from the last time he was here. The Woman pushed them up the stairs and into a room that was painted baby blue.

"You two will share a room next to Kako and Mari."She set the suitcases down and excused herself. Kakashi set his suitcase down on the bed on the left and started unpacking.

"She's kind of scary."Gai said setting his on the other bed.

"Yeah, you get use to it in time."Kakashi chuckled.

"How many times will they move us?"Gai asked, hopping that the number wasn't big.

"As many times as they like until we're adopted."

"That could take a long time."Gai said shocked.

"I know. But it happens all the time."Kakashi sat on the bed.

Gai sat down on the blue blanket and spotted a book under Kakashi's pillow.

"Hey Kakashi, what's that under your pillow?"

Kakashi lifted up the pillow, gasped and held the book close. Gai was shocked to see Kakashi excited about something.

"Yes! Thank you Haruko!" He whispered.

"Wasn't that the book she was reading?"

"Yes and now I get to read it!"

Gai looked at the title and it read Makeout Paradise.
