Chapter 4: Blood is drawn!
Kakashi's body was stilled. His eyes were opened he was breathing but he was motionless. His body woke him up at the same time everyday since the day his father died. It was about 5:30 am and the sun was begining to rise, a fragment of sunlight escaped from behind his curtains and hit his bare face in the most flattering way.
He closed his eyes to let the warm rays of the sun illuminate his skin. With a deep sigh he flicked his eyes open in defeat he knew his body would not let him be taken by sleep once again. He flipped his covers from over top of himself and sat up all in one swift motion.
His day always started with a hot shower. After he twisted the shower knob to his wanted temperature he stripped bare and stepped inside the water chamber.
As the water dripped out the faucet he started to think about Ayome she had claimed to be his daughter but it wasn't possible. He may have had his way with more than a few ladies but he had never fathered a child. Every drop of water was mocking him saying things like 'think you idiot' and 'enjoy this shower because once your out you have a load of bull to deal with' and some though he tried to ingnore them said things like 'she has your eyes and nose'. (A/N I know I said her eyes blue but other than that they resemble his)
He grabbed his wash cloth and his body wash which though it wasn't suggested was also his shampoo. His eyes shut tight as he put soap on a minor wound he thought back on the mission that seemed to bring him all the trouble in the world.
His team was strong, they travel non-stopped for three days only taking minor breaks to catch their breathe. Their actions would give team Guy a run for their money. None of them including Kakashi had much chakara left, Sakura only had enough to heal his major wounds if anyone else would have sustained a major injury then team 7 would have lost a member. All and all Naruto and Sasuke's attitude to out do each other as well as Sakura's determination not to be left behind carried there team most of the way. If Ihza wouldn't have showed up when he did they would have made it to the village hidden in the sun and would have missed Ayome completely. Kakashi inwardly cursed Ihza and was glad he was gone .
Kakashi turned off the shower after finally washing the last of his body washing shampoo out of his hair. He carefully wrapped his towel around his waist letting his hair drip. As he tucked his towel within itself so that it would hold up on it's own he heard his window squeak open in agony.
Not at all alarmed he walked out of the bathroom to see his bed that was once empty now filled with a womenly figure. "You should really stop coming over In the early hours of the morning, one might say this is the time a mistress arrives."
Her face fumed with red the direct lighting allowed him see that much. His apartment was still dark because he had failed to turn on a light aside from the bathroom.
She subconsciously pushed herself off his bed, her foot met the floor with a loud stomp which she mastered by the age of three. "Stop saying things that sensei! They're highly inappropriate and if you continue I'll stop coming over."
Kakashi mused, "Your breast are big and perky and I would love to s-".
"Shut up!" Sakura wasn't really upset her breast weren't big at all in fact she wore the same size as she did when she was 12 years old.
Kakashi sighed another defeated sound he then moved to turn on the lights. "Well, why do I deserve this pleasurable visit KuKu-chan.
Sakura roled her eyes she hated it when he calls her 'KuKu-chan' it was a nickname Naruto but mostly Sasuke came up with and called her when they thought she was being kind of crazy hence the name which sounded like coo-coo and it would seem their sensei was following suit. "My parents are going at it again." She said, every emotion aside from anger and sadness leaving her voice.
"Wow they must want a baby, why the depressed face it's common actually, when parents feel their nest is almost empty they create a new egg." Swiping the cold water that dripped down from his hair to his face he made his way over to brew some coffee.
He stopped dead in his tracks as he heard what sounded like someone who was dying inside say, "Sensei."
He heard the pure pain in her voice and was happy he had never experienced what she was going through in his life. His parents had loved each other his father and everyone else had told him so when he was a child. Though his mom passed away two months after giving birth to him he'd seen all the pictures of her holding him looking at him through loved eyes as his father looked at her through the same eyes.
For the third time that day Kakashi gave a defeated sigh mentally noting it would be his last for the day. "Stay as long as you need to, you're welcomed to everything though I doubt you'll find any real food in the fridge. We have training today promptly at 9:30 this morning." He then gathered his clothes and went to the bathroom to finish his daily routine. When he thought himself to be ready he walked out gathered what he needed for the day including his coffee and stop before the door to say. "Oh and KuKu-chan don't be late this time."
Before she could argue with him he slammed the door. Some how in the short period of time it took him to get ready it had began to rain. He realized the error he made earlier that day, by saying he would give no more defeated sighs he had in fact doomed himself to a day full of defeat, and for the fourth time that morning he sighed a deep sigh... of defeat.
"Yo."
"Yo!? That's all you have to say you were suppose to be here an hour and a half ago, luckily the Hokage has been busy with more pressing matters or she would have had you head for breakfast." The women then looked around Kakashi and her relived smile turn turned to a deep scowl.
"Is something the matter?" Kakashi said innocently.
"Yes! Where is she? Lady Hokage is not a patient women you know as well as I do Kakashi." The black haied woman paced back and fourth vigorously, seemingly nervous of the absence of a certian young lady.
Kakashi gave a reassuring smile, "Don't worry Shizune im sure she'll be here any min-."
Both parties looked at the door way where a black haired girl appeared from. She gave them both a happy smile, "Yo."
Shizune went white when reality came back to her she fumed with anger, "I'M GOING TO KILL HER!" Kakashi was restraining Shizune from attacking Ayome.
Ayome's smile deepened in a nervous way as her hand touched the back of her neck instinctively,"You'll have to forgive me. I seen the cutest old lady trying to cross the busy streets of Konaha, if it weren't for me she would have bee-."
Shizune yelled over Ayome,"Cut it out!" She then turned to Kakashi after he released her, "I'm not so sure you need a DNA test she's definitely inherited your ability to make excuses on short notice."
With that she moved to the Hokages office shutting the door behind her. A soft and awkward cough escaped Kakashi's throat, "She's not normally like that she is just under a lot of pressure." At the sound of his voice he could see her visibly stand a little taller.
Before he could even muse a sound out of her the door to the Hokage's office swung open and Tsunade yelled 'Enter!'
Tsunade observed the girl for a long time. She had to admit this girl shared some resemblance to the copy-cat ninja but the same could be said for any man similar to Kakashi. Then she had to take the features they didn't share in consideration.
Where he was tall, she was petite. His hair was silver, her hair was black. His eyes where dark, while she herself had light blue eyes. Then again the girl could take after her mother, but the young girl's features were distinctive if Kakashi had met a women who shared similar resemblance he would in fact remember. Unless, he was acting as if he didn't know but really did. Tsunade had a moment of weakness as she thought, 'Is Kakashi a dead beat?'
A stressed sigh escaped the Hokage's mouth without her realizing it she massaged her temples, deciding only a blood test would tell if the girl was actually Kakashi's. "Well now, it makes no sense to just sit around staring at you all day. What is you name?" Tsunade said kindly.
Ayome's head thrusted upward when it finally settle in she was being addressed, "Ayome Siruga."
Tsunade stood up out of her chair, walked around her desk and leaned on it to get a better look at Ayome. She continued to ask Ayome questions, "And are you positive you want to claim the assumption of Kakashi Hatake being your father?" Tsunade paused to lean closer to the girl, "Seriously kid they're a lot of other men in this village I would have chosen sooner than Kakashi."
Kakashi simply nodded though his pride wilted away.
Ayome blushed nervously as she shook her hear vigorously, "There is no assumption." Everyone eyed the girl, and Kakashi held in a breath knowing he wouldn't let it out due to relief. "He is my father." A small smile settled on Tsunade's and Shizune's lips.
Kakashi studied her not blinking nor looking away. 'I have to admit the girls determined. To bad I'm not her father, it would save her the heart break.'
Tsunade's new found determined voice snapped everyone out of their thoughts, "Kakashi Hatake, Ayome Siruga do you give consent for your blood to be tested to find out the DNA results?" Both parties nodded simultaneously. In an instant Tsunade was at Kakashi's side and Shizune was at Ayome's. By the time they realized what was going on a needle had already been inserted into their arms and blood was drawn.
"The results will take up to seven weeks. We will find you two when they are in." Tsunade then turned to Ayome, "You're not to leave the village without the permission of me or we will void the DNA test and no further accusations will be made under Konaha law. Neither of you are to speak of this to anyone. Now you're dismissed!"
Kakashi, knowing the Hokage was busy made his way towards the door but noticed Ayome was still lingering behind. Tsunade had too noticed the girl for she asked with impatience, "Is there something else you need?"
Ayome stood up taller under the Hokage's glare. She then through herself in a respective bow before saying, "Please Lady Hokage I beg you to let me be more useful to your village. I am loyal and I will fight to protect your village with my life as I did my own before I set out on my journey. I have excellent skills that I believe you would be most impressed with if I had the chance to show you. I also have some troubling news that I have gathered from my travels, some that may affect the very well being of Konaha."
Tsunade's brows fixed in a displeased way, "News? I will have to hear from you another time I have a meeting with our elders in a few minutes. As for you, what exactly are you asking me?"
Ayome lifted herself up slightly, "I would like to be of service my understanding is that the main way to serve is to become a ninja. So I am asking to be granted the permission to become a leaf shinobi."
Tsunade closed her eyes and sighed deeply. 'Looks like our little fly has gotten tangled in our web of plans Sasuke, seems as though I owe that little brat some credit.' "I'll consider it and tell you your answer when you tell me of this news you have. My office 8:30 am sharp and don't be a hour and a half late this time!"
Shizune, Kakashi, and Ayome all went white why did they think they could get their tardiness passed her, she was legendary. "Now Kakashi take this girl home."
Kakashi was confused, "Home?"
"YES HOME YOU BAKA WHERE DO EXPECT HER TO STAY ON THE STREETS!"
"You don't have to take me with you, I can find some where else to stay." Ayome said nonchalantly. She felt as if she was intruding, and uprooting him from his normal life style.
Kakashi sighed and ran a hand through his matted hair, he looked at the busy streets of Konaha and for once envied all the civilians that walked the streets alone. "How will you do that? Where will you go? Where did you even stay yesterday?" Kakashi was not in the mood for modesty, he had to entertain a young lady in his home that was more than likely not his child. She would eat his food, and sleep in his bed, and he wouldn't like it.
Ayome ,as if hearing Kakashi's private conversation stopped dead in her tracks. Her eyes were on the ground and she refused to look up, "I have money enough to rent a place until I find work, I can stay at a hotel until I find my own place, and a new friend of mine took me to dinner and his mom insisted I stay."
Kakashi taking after Ayome's lead stopped in the middle of the street. He looked back at her mentally noting she was avoiding eye contact. He turned his back and continued to walk, "That won't be necessary, I was just trying to keep my darkest secret, I'm incredibly messy."
Ayome looked up a soft smile was drawn on her lips. Kakashi turned back and gave her a friendly smile, "Do you happen to have the time."
Ayome looked up at the sky and then looked back at him, "Roughly about 10:47." She then paused moving a strand of hair out of her face, "Is there some place you need to be? Are you scared you might be running late?"
"No, no it should only take about 20 minutes to get to where I need to be so I'll be arriving on time today, care to join me?"
Ayome nodded happily.
"Great, shall we?"
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura were quiet each passing time with their own way.
Sasuke, was throwing a kuni that had a string in the loop so he could continue to catch and re-throw the weapon with little work.
Naruto, sat counting the clouds in the sky, he had become accustomed to the activity after spending time on a long-term mission with Shikamaru Nara.
Sakura looked at medical scrolls, learning new ways to reserve her chakara while healing others as well as herself properly.
A cloud of smoke appeared, leaving behind a certain silvered hair man. "Yo."
Naruto hopped off the post he was lying on and started his normal bickering, "Kakashi-sensei! You're always late if you're going to show up hours late why not let us come at the same time as you!"
"Naruto it's pointless."Sasuke's voice came in deep and quick.
"Sasuke's right Naruto I've even given up scolding him on his tardiness." Sakura chimed in not looking away from her scrolls.
Ayome poked her head from around Kakashi, "I thought you said we were on time?"
Kakashi coughed interrupting the teenagers, "Today is a special day." He pulled out two bells and Sakura and Naruto's eyes went wide. "I want to test Ayome's skill, you three are my students and some of the best ninja in the village if she can get a bell before two of you then I'll personally replace one of you with her."
This got Sasuke's attention and Sakura and Naruto gasped, their eyes widen with disbelief. "Kakashi-sensei you couldn't you wouldn't." Sakura said half broken hearted.
"O but I would, the ninja world is cut throat one day your the best the next day your in a ditch some where dead, you three have gotten lazy sloppy even and today it will show. If you can't get a bell before Ayome a new commer after so many years of missions and team work you don't deserve to be a ninja."
Sakura yelled at her sensei, "Well there were three of us last time and two bells so now that theres four shouldn't the number of bells be raised too?!"
"No, the stakes are higher this time, it a whole new ball game, and remember. "
"If were not prepared to kill you." Naruto started
"Then we won't get the bells." Sasuke continued
"We know." Sakura finished.
Kakashi smiled.
Ayome on the other hand was completely shocked, 'What did I get myself into!'
Well that's it for this time it's getting kind of crazy but you'll be happy with the next few chapters so please dont judge, ask questions. Please comment/review. Until next time!
