Hey guys! Sorry for not updating in like... FOREVER! I've been busy with school, moving, work, and lot's of other fun grown up things!
Here's the next chapter! Hope you enjoy it! :)
'I hope tomorrow goes well.' was my last thought before sleep took over.
I slowly opened my eyes. The morning sun, shining brightly through the window and onto the bed, was to blame for waking me up. I groaned a little, hating being awake.
"Why does it need to be light out?" I flipped over onto my stomach, my face on my pillow.
"Fuck you sun." I mumbled into the pillow.
A loud knock sounded on the door.
I reached down, and pulled the blanket over my head, 'Why do people have to bother me when I just wake up?'
Another knock.
I shut my eyes tight, getting annoyed. 'Go away...'
Again, another loud knock.
"Becca! Hokage-sama needs to speak to you immediately!" A man said loudly, on the other side of the door.
I groaned, and slid out of bed, pulling the blanket with me. 'She better be telling me I won a freakn' pony that shits rainbows, or I'm gonna be pissed for being bothered this early.' I stomped over to the door, and made sure the blanket was wrapped around me before opening it.
"Becc-"
I yanked open the door, catching the person mid knock. Kotetsu and Izumo were standing in front of my door.
"What's this about?" I asked irritated, while yawing.
Izumo, who had been the one knocking, lowered his hand, dropping it to his side.
"Hokage-sama needs to see you immediately. Something bad has happened." He said in a serious tone, with a grave look upon his face.
"Wh-what?" I stuttered at hearing the sudden news, I wasn't expecting something bad to have happened. I glanced between Izumo and Kotetsu, to make sure I had heard correctly. They both had solemn looks upon their faces.
"Please hurry and get dressed." Izumo said, the seriousness not leaving his voice.
I just stood there and stared at him dumbfounded, 'What the hell is going on?'
"Please hurry." He said again.
I sighed, "Alright, alright. I heard you the first time." I backed-up into the apartment, leaving the door open.
Walking over to the pile of clothes near the bed, I kept a hold on the blanket. I turned back to the doorway, where Izumo and Kotetsu stood, looking unsure.
"Are you two just going to stand there and let the cold air in? Come inside, and shut the freaking door." I snapped. I was extremely cranky from waking up, plus this so called bad news wasn't helping. They glanced at each other, then quickly walked inside, shutting the door behind them.
I sighed once more, really loudly. 'Seriously?'
Now they were just standing there by the front door.
I rubbed the bridge of my nose, 'Are they retarded?'
"Do you mind?" I snapped at them again.
They practically jumped back, looking scared and confused at my outburst.
"Gooo. Intooo. Theee. Otherrrr. Roooomm." I said mockingly, quickly losing my patience.
They once again glanced at each other unsure, then quickly walked into the other room.
As soon as they were both out of sight, I dropped the blanket onto the bed. Feeling extremely annoyed, I knelled down to pick clothes out for the day. 'What is my fucking problem? They really didn't do anything to me...'
I picked up my off shoulder gray Go-Go's shirt. 'Is this going to be too revealing?' The bottom was cut short, so some of my stomach would show. 'Hmm, well they're other people here with their stomach showing... Whatever! I'll fucking dress how I want! Who cares what other people think?' I hung it over my shoulder, and grabbed some jean shorts angrily. 'God, I'm in a seriously bad mood.' I could actually feel my face starting to hurt from all the scowling I was doing. Grabbing some new under garments, I stood up with my clothes for the day, and walked into the bathroom shutting the door behind me.
I stood in front of the mirror, examining myself. I hadn't really looked at myself since I got here.
'Wow... I literally look like an animated version of myself.' I reached up and pulled a piece of my hair straight, then let go. It bounced back into perfect shape, a long, dark brown, corkscrew curl. My hair reached to the middle of my back, all of it in perfect curls. My skin was tanned, about the same shade as Iruka's. I looked at my reflection some more, my eyes were shaped like Tsunade's, only chocolate brown in color.
I grinned, "Heh, I'm fucking awesome. I should thank my parents for the excellent genes." I laughed a little bit. My foul mood elevating at my good looks, adding more to my narcissism.
I kept grinning, "Ha. Yeaahh.."
I did a 360 spin, looking in the mirror. "Everything's still in proportion."
I quickly changed out of my old garments, and into my new ones. Fixing my shirt, I reached out and opened the cabinet next to the mirror. Inside I found a tooth brush, toothpaste, and lot's of other toiletries.
"Ooh! Hairbrush." I pulled out the hairbrush, tooth-brush, and toothpaste.
After completing the morning hygiene, and pulled my hair into a side braid, hanging down my left side. I was done and left the bathroom.
"Do I have sunglasses?" I wondered walking to my bag, near the bed. Inside it I found my yellow, checkered Ray-Bans.
I grinned hugely. "Look's like all my favorite things made it with me!" I picked them up and put them on.
"Becca?"
I looked at the doorway to the other room. Kotetsu was peeking around it.
I raised an eyebrow at him.
"Are you almost done?" He asked tentatively.
I just stared at him, there was a long pause before I answered.
"Yeah, just have to put my shoes on. Okay?"
He nodded, and disappeared around the corner. I sat down at the foot of my bed and pulled on a clean pair of socks, then my shoes.
"Guess it's time to go then..." I stood, and walked to the doorway for the other room. I saw Kotetsu and Izumo sitting there on the couch in the middle of the room.
"I'm ready. Let's go." I told them.
They stood up, I turned around and opened the front door, walking outside. They followed shortly, shutting the door behind them.
We began walking, heading down the stairs, then onto the road. We walked in silence for a few minutes, until I asked them a question.
"So what is this all about anyway?" I looked at Izumo.
He shook his head, "I don't know too many details, but..." He frowned deeply, then looked at me. "I believe Hokage-sama is putting a platoon together."
My eye's widened. 'Could it be..?'
"And you're sure she didn't give you anymore details than that?" I asked, trying not to panic.
Again he shook his head. "She just yelled at us to get you, saying it was urgent."
I nodded my head, and looked at the ground, thinking to myself as we walked.
'Shit... so it's probably Hidan and Kakuzu. They probably attacked the temple. If it IS them, then this is bad. Also good though...' I glanced at Izumo and Kotetsu, who walking quietly next to me.
'Okay, good first. The ball's begun rolling, I now know the exact time frame. So I can help them with the future much better now. Bad... well it's pretty obvious. They're Akatsuki, anything they do is bad.' I let out a strangled groan and rubbed the back of my neck.
'This is so annoying. Fucking Akatsuki... Yeah, I'm an Akatsuki fan. But... now that I'm here it's just... different. They're no longer fake criminals that you can fantasize about. They're now real, and they do ACTUAL bad things.' I kicked at the road, flinging up a lot of dirt. It caused me to cough a little. 'Wow, I'm smart.' I coughed some more.
'Okay. This is serious. I can no longer think like an Akatsuki fan. They're evil. They're real. They murder good guys! Worst of all, they hurt Kakashi! Anyone who hurts someone that hot deserves to be punched in the balls.'
I frowned slightly and kicked a small rock, sending it flying. 'Okay, get off the Kakashi tangent. I have to now think like a citizen of Konoha. So what if I release information that causes Akatsuki members deaths? They're my enemy now.' I looked ahead, we were nearing the Hokage Mansion. It wouldn't be more than another couple minutes before we got there. I glanced at Kotetsu and Izumo, who hadn't said anything since my question. They both had uneasy looks on their faces. What was going, was obviously upsetting both of them. 'I can imagine, if I heard about a possible attack near my home. I'd feel worried too...' I frowned again. 'Home... I wonder what's going on there. How's my family, what's my boyfriend been up to?' I let out an angry groan, prompting my ninja companions to look at me confused.
I gave them my best fake smile, "Sorry, just a random thought. Haha. No biggie."
They stared at me obviously not the least bit convinced, but didn't pursue the matter. I looked at the ground, and dropped my smile.
'I don't need to think about that asshole... I'm here now. He's not. I don't need my thoughts of him to ruin my time here.'
We were almost right in front of the Hokage Mansion. I sped up my pace, getting to the staircase on the side fairly quickly. I wanted to know what exactly happened, I wanted to help. I walked up the stairs fast, practically leaping over two at a time.
I quickly reached the top, and Izumo and Kotetsu still hadn't caught up with me. So I waited a few seconds, then they also reached the top. We entered the long hallway in the mansion. I pulled my sunglasses off, put them on top of my head, and looked around. As usual there was no one in sight. The three us proceeded down the hallway in continued silence. Then as we went around a corner, I encountered the one person in all of Konoha I never wanted to see.
Danzo.
The old bastard was slowly walking down the hallway heading in our direction. The air itself seemed to change, everything around grew quiet, the only sound left was the shuffling of his feet, and his cane hitting the carpet with every step.
Narrowing my eyes, I felt a rush of anger towards him. 'So we finally meet.'
I looked next to me at the guys, they were literally scared stiff. Their eyes were huge, and they were standing rigid.
"Da-Danzo-sama.." Kotetsu stuttered out.
Danzo continued walking forward, making no acknowledgment of them. As he got closer, I noticed he was staring straight at me. I glared at him, looking right in his half lidded eye. 'You fucking piece of shit, I outta punch you in the face for all the trouble you cause...'
He made no reaction to my death glare, just continued staring me right in the eye. I could almost feel his sinister intentions through his dark look. He continued walking closer, passing Izumo and Kotetsu, it seemed time slowed the closer he got. When he finally reached me, after what seemed like ages; I side stepped to let him pass by, being extremely careful not to let any part of him come too close to me. I never broke eye contact with him though, and continued my death glare. The look he gave me as he slowly passed by, was so dark, so ill-intended, I felt chills run up my spine and my heart thudded against my chest. When he finally walked past me, and broke eye contact, I let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding.
'That fucking man is creepy, and evil as shit.' I once again glared at his retreating form.
After he passed around the corner out of view, I stood there staring at the empty space, then I turned to Kotetsu and Izumo. They were still standing scared and rigid. 'Even other ninja are scared of Danzo...I can see why. That feeling I got from him...' I suddenly felt sick, goose bumps ran up my skin, and my hands felt a little clammy. I had been so angry before, that I didn't even give my body room to feel the appropriate was terrifying, he just felt dark and evil. 'I'm... scared of him as well...' The image of Kakashi filled my mind, and I realized I wanted him there with me.
'He'd protect me... I know he would.' Thinking of Kakashi, helped elevate a little bit of the terrible feeling I was having. 'I'd feel safer knowing he was with me. Even Danzo would have a hard time getting to me if Kakashi was there...' Someone coughed. I looked over at Izumo and Kotetsu, who had regained their composure, and were standing there waiting for me.
"Uhh... sorry... let's go." I said, acting like nothing had just happened. We once again continued walking down the hallway, but I couldn't get rid of those lingering terrible feelings.
We reached Tsunade's office, and Izumo knocked on the door. Come in, was barked from the other side.
He pushed open the door, and the three of us walked in. It was bright in there, my eyes had to take a second to adjust.
"We've brought Becca, Hokage-sama." Izumo stated.
Tsunade was sitting behind her desk with her hands folded. Shizune was standing next to her, holding Ton Ton.
"Good, thank you. That will be all, you're dismissed." She told them.
They both saluted, "Hai!" and left, shutting the door behind them.
Tsunade looked at me, not too happy from behind her folded hands.
"A Fire Temple has been attacked, it was Akatsuki." She stated angrily.
I groaned, putting my hand on my face. 'So it was what I thought...'
"You knew this would happen. Didn't you!" Tsunade raised her voice angrily at me.
"Tsunade-sama!" Shizune started, upset at her tone with me.
I looked at Tsunade calmly. "Yes." I answered, there was no reason to lie.
Tsunade grew more angry, standing up from her chair. "Then WHY didn't you tell me!" Her eye's were hardened with anger.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know WHEN it was going to happen..." I tried to explain, my calmness slipping. I was starting to feel bad.
"You could have still informed me of this even happening!" She slammed her hand on the desk.
"I'm really sorry!" I said pained.
"People were killed! You could have sa-"
"Tsunade-sama!" Shizune interrupted her. Making her stop yell.
Tsunade heisted still standing, looking at me angrily. "Tch..." she said annoyed, then finally sat back down.
I just stood there, not saying anything, giving her a second to calm down. 'She does have a right to be angry. But, how should I explain this? I didn't want this to happen.. but it needed to.' I looked at Tsunade, she was still annoyed, but had at least calm down a little.
"Can I try to explain it? I just need you to understand the situation from my position." I asked of Tsunade as kindly as I could.
She folded her hands on top of the desk, then nodded with a grunt.
"Okay..." I took a deep breath. "I didn't know when it was going to happen. If I had told you, what good would it have done? You may have sent ninja's out there for days... and then when the Akatsuki came. They would have very likely killed all of those ninja's." I paused, to see how Tsunade was reacting to what I was saying. She seemed to be thinking about it, so that was good. I continued.
"Those ninja's wouldn't have survived because, even knowing what I told you about them... they wouldn't have been the right ninja's to kill them. When..." I sighed deeply. 'Shit, I'm going to have to give up info I didn't want to... crapp.'
"When?" Tsunade questioned, wanting me to continue.
I rubbed the bridge of my nose. 'Here goes nothing.'
"When they're killed. It was about area, timing, planning, the right ninja's, and... the right motivation."
'Meaning Asuma dying.' I finished, feeling a mixture of guilt and sadness at the last part.
"So... essentially you're saying, a series of events occur to bring about their deaths?" Tsunade asked, looking at me intently.
"Exactly." I stated simply.
"Hmm..." Tsunade leaned forward, thinking.
'Was she going to agree with me?' I felt a wave of relief, and surprisingly less stressed. 'Being able to actually give away some useful information, really makes me feel better...' I gasped. 'That's right! Information!'
"Tsunade-sama! I need to ask you something important!" I practically shouted.
She sat up straight and looked at me quizzically, "What is it?"
"Do you have a way of sealing off information? Like... a way to seal of what I know? So... nobody could ever access besides me?" I asked pleadingly, folding my hands together semi-begging.
"Hmmm..." She answered, then appeared to think hard about it.
I fidgeted around, opening and closing my fist, extremely impatient for her answer. 'Please say yes! Pleaseeee!'
"I'm sorry... I don't know of anything like that." she finally answered.
'Dammit!' "I just needed a way so only I could access it, and it could never get into the wrong hands." I sighed, feeling disappointed by her answer.
"Well... I thought I said, I'd have Inoichi take a look." Tsunade reminded me.
My eye's widened, 'That's right! I forgot!' "Oh yeah! Do you think that would do anything?" I asked excitedly. 'Maybe he can find a way!' I grinned.
"It couldn't hurt." She said nonchalantly.
I let out a small laugh, 'Yes!' I looked at Shizune who hadn't said a word since she calmed Tsunade down. She was glancing between Tsunade and I, with a worried expression.
I furrowed my eyebrows, "What's wrong Shizune-san?"
She slightly jumped at me speaking to her, causing Ton Ton to squeal.
"We-well..." she looked at Tsunade, then back at me. "I'm worried about the technique that would be used to access your mind..."
"The technique?" I asked confused. 'Was there something dangerous about it?'
"Don't worry." Tsunade stated. "I'm sure Inoichi has a safe way to look into your mind."
I nodded, "Alright. If you say so." I was going to question her on something like that.
Shizune didn't look as sure though. Then again, she always seemed worried.
"How soon can it be done?" I asked Tsunade.
She leaned forward slightly, her chair squeaking. "As soon as you want."
I nodded. Then I remembered something else. "I ran into Danzo earlier."
Tsunade and Shizune looked at each other, then at me.
"What happened?" Tsunade questioned darkly.
"Nothing really... We just stared each other down." I rubbed my arm. "It just scared me a little..."
"Humph. I knew he'd run into you sometime. That old bastard." Tsunade growled out.
"Is Jiraiya-sama still here?" I asked suddenly. 'I think I need to talk to him about Danzo.'
Tsunade looked at me curiously. "I believe so. Why?"
I shrugged, "I just want to talk to him. Will you let him know?"
"Of course. So did you want to see Inoichi now?" She asked, changing the subject.
"Yeah. That would be great." I slipped my hands into my pockets.
"Shizune, tell Inoichi Becca is going to see him." Tsunade addressed Shizune, still looking at me.
"Ha-hai!" Shizune answered, then quickly walked passed me, and out the door with Ton Ton squealing behind.
It wasn't long before the door to the Hokage's office reopened. I turned around, and saw Shizune walk in with Inoichi following behind. The door squeaked a little as it closed. Shizune and Inoichi walked past me, and stood in front of Tsunade's desk.
"Inoichi, this is Becca." Tsunade told him, gesturing towards me.
Him and I looked at each other, and he gave me a nod.
"Hello Becca." He greeted me, in a neutral sounding voice.
"Nice too meet you Inoichi-san." I replied trying to sound polite. 'Whoa, the family resemblance is uncanny! Ino seriously looks like him' I noticed, now seeing him in person.
"I believe you asked to see me, to take a look into your mind. Correct?" He asked me, a hint of curiosity showing in his eyes.
"Uh, yeah. I'm not gonna be put in that big machine thingy am I? Cause that's no bueno." I said with a straight face.
He let out a small laugh, "I'm not sure what you said at the end. But, no. That's not going to be necessary." He ended with a small smile.
That made me feel a little more relaxed, knowing I wouldn't have to be put in that thing.
"Well that's excellent news! So how are we going to do this then?" I questioned Inoichi, with a grin.
He gestured to the door. "If you'll come with me to the Intelligence Division building, it will be easier."
I immediately stopped grinning.
"Oh god... Okay." I answered a little put off. 'I didn't think I'd have to go to that scary-ass place.'
He noticed my not too thrilled reaction. "Don't worry, it's not a big deal. It's just more secluded - which is important for the process."
I looked at him skeptically, not really reassured.
"Yeaaaahhh. Okay."
He looked at Tsunade, "Hokage-sama, we're going to head over there now. I'll bring her back here when we're done."
Tsunade leaned back in her chair, "That's not needed, I'm sure she can go back to her place instead."
She shifted her gaze to me, "Is that fine, Becca?"
I blinked, "Uh, yeah. That's perfect!"
Tsunade nodded. "You can go now."
I looked at Inoichi, who nodded and began walking away from the desk to the door.
I glanced at Tsunade for reassurance, and she gestured for me to follow him.
I turned around and followed Inoichi out of the office, closing the door behind me.
I followed behind him, as we made our way down the poorly lit hallway to the stairs. I pulled my sunglasses down over my eyes as we headed outside into sunlight. We proceeded to walk down the familiar cement staircase that I had used many times now. I jumped off the last step, and landed on the road flinging up some dirt. Inoichi didn't pay any attention and just continued walking, heading to the right of the Hokage mansion. His long blonde hair swinging as he walked. The black interrogation unit overcoat, billowing behind him. I let out a small laugh.
He glanced behind at me, "What's funny?"
I couldn't help smiling. "Your coat. I want one like that. It's made of awesome. I'd look like a total pimp wearing one!"
He gave me a quizzical look, which quickly turned into a smile.
"You're a pretty strange girl."
I grinned, "Thank you!"
He smiled and looked straight ahead, as we continued walking.
I looked away from him and took in my surroundings. We were heading in an area I hadn't been before.
It didn't look any different than the rest of Konoha. Just houses and shops. We were close to Hokage Monument though. I looked at the carved faces of the Five Hokages for the first time since I had gotten here. It was truly an amazing sight.
'They look so old and regal. Definitely based on Mount Rushmore.' I gazed at the faces thoughtfully. Seeing the crack in the third's face made me remember the episode it happened it.
I could feel myself growing sad, 'It's not as fun as I thought... knowing all these terrible things that happened to Konoha.'
I looked away from the Monument, and looked ahead. Not far down the road, I could see a large unpleasant looking gray building.
'That must be the Konoha Intelligence Division building. Geezus could it look anymore dreary?'
We quickly reached it, and Inoichi walked to the entrance.
"This is it." He said looking at me, as he pushed open the door.
He held the door open for me, and I walked inside the building pulling my sunglasses up. It took a second for my eyes to adjust to the inside because it was so dark. I heard the door close behind me, as Inoichi came and stood next to me. I looked around, we were in a very dark hallway. The little light it had came from a couple hanging lamps on either side of the hallway.
"There's a room up ahead we'll use." Inoichi told me.
I looked at him, and nodded. 'God this is fucking creepy.'
He started walking down the hallway, and I followed him. We passed only a couple of closed doors before he stopped in front of a partially open one. Inoichi pushed it open the rest of the way, and we entered the room.
It had more light than the hallway, and in the middle of it was a simple wooden chair. I took a step towards the chair, when I saw a shadow in the corner move. A man walked out of the shadow and into the light.
"What the fuck!" I exclaimed, stepping away from the chair and near Inoichi.
"It's alright." I heard Inoichi say behind me.
I glanced back at him, then at the man again and realized who it was.
"Whoa! You're Ibiki!" I said wide-eyed pointing at him.
The large, scarred Ibiki Morino stood near the chair with his arms folded, looking imposing.
"Dudddee!" I glanced at Inoichi, then back at Ibiki.
"I did not order a torturer! Now THIS is no es bueno!" I proclaimed waving my hand. 'What the fuck is he doing here!'
Ibiki unfolded his arms, "I'm not here to torture you." He stated in deep calm voice.
"Yeah, you better fucking not be!" I retorted feeling confused and slightly angry.
"He's here for your protection." Inoichi said, walking into my line of vision.
I looked at him completely confused. "My protection? From what?"
"Danzo." Ibiki answered.
My eye's widened. "You're kidding me. Is that old bastard gonna stalk me forever?" I growled, balling my hands into fists.
"We just can't risk him getting whatever information you have." Inoichi said, "According to what Shizune-san told me, you have extremely valuable information."
I nodded. "Yeah. That would beyond bad if Danzo found out what I knew." 'Or Akatsuki for that matter.'
"If you'll have a seat. We can start." Inoichi told me gesturing to the wooden chair.
I stepped forward and sat down on the chair, placing my hands in my lap.
Inoichi knelled down in front of me, so we were at eye level.
"This isn't going to hurt, but I just want you to relax and close your eyes." he said as he stretched out his arms, placing a hand on either side of my temples.
I closed my eyes, 'This is like what The Doctor does. Haha, ohh I'd love to meet the 10th Doctor.'
I slowly started to feel like I was falling asleep. I seemed to be drifting away into the darkness. I tried to think of anything, but I couldn't. I felt like I was in dream like state, right before you fall completely asleep. Everything seemed slow, and heavy. No matter how hard I tried to think of something, it seemed like I couldn't control my own thoughts. Nothing would show up when I wanted it too. Only flashes of colors, and random images I couldn't make out appeared and disappeared. Each one I quickly forgot, like the dream you can't remember when you wake up. Suddenly everything started moving again, and I felt control over myself once more. I quickly opened my eyes.
Inoichi was standing in front of me, looking completely baffled.
I blinked a few times, "What... what the heck happened?"
Inoichi just continued to stare at me like I just did something crazy.
"What? What is it? How long was I like that?" I questioned him.
"Nearly 40 minutes." Ibiki said, to my left.
"No way!" I said to him with a look of disbelief, 'There was no way that was 40 minutes...'
He nodded. I looked back at Inoichi, who no longer looked baffled, just slightly confused.
"So... what happened? What did you find?" I questioned him eagerly.
He looked at me directly in the eye. "Nothing."
"What?" I frowned. "What do you mean nothing?"
"Nothing. I couldn't get into your mind." he replied slowly.
"Meaning what? How couldn't you?" I was really confused now, but also happy. 'If he couldn't get into my mind, that means maybe no one can!'
"There was a seal, a seal that reacts when your mind is under threat." he explained, seemingly having a hard time believing it himself.
"But... my mind wasn't under threat. I mean... I knew you were going to do that." Now I really was confused.
He shook his head. "Doesn't matter. Even if you knew, and allowed it. Your mind would still seal itself off. If your mind was to become subjected to the Mind Body Switch Technique, your body would be controlled but your mind still couldn't be accessed."
I frowned, deep in thought. 'I feel like this sounds familiar to something...but what..wha-OH! AO! His talisman for his eye! It protected it even from himself!'
I looked at Inoichi, "So no one can access it, even if they're controlling me?"
He shook his head. "No. It's a foolproof seal. I've seen something like this before. But even those had a way to be unsealed by someone... this doesn't. It's... incredible." he said looking at me with admiration.
I smirked, "Hell yeah. I'm freaking awesome!" Then I remembered something else, and I stopped smirking.
"What about Genjutsu? Specifically... Genjutsu cast by a Sharingan user?"
Inoichi didn't say anything, but looked at me thoughtfully. I frowned slightly.
"Well?"
"No." he stated. "Even that wouldn't work, your mind still knows it's under threat. The mind is an incredible thing. There's nothing I know of that can access it. Besides of course, your fully conscious and uncontrolled self." he finished with a small smile.
'Whoa this is too good to be true.' I sat there smiling. 'There's no way my information can be taken from me, and used to hurt Konoha!'
"You seem pleased." I heard Ibiki say.
I looked over at him with a grin. "I really am. This is amazing news!" I jumped out of the chair.
"Am I free to go?" I asked Inoichi.
He seemed a little taken aback. "Uh, sure. Of course."
I was so happy, "Thanks so much! Both of you!" I glanced between them, grinning like an idiot.
"Yeah, no problem." Inoichi answered slowly.
"Bye!" I shouted as I took off out of the room, and ran down the dark hallway to the entrance. I quickly threw open the door and ran out into the sunlight.
No even bothering to pull my sunglasses down. I continued running down the street grinning, passing the Hokage mansion. I didn't know where I was running to, I was just so thrilled with the good news.
'Hahaha! SUCK IT DANZO!' I kept running down the crowded street, passing houses, shops, and people.
'I wish I could actually find that old ass and tell him the news to his face! Booyah BITCH!' I laughed out loud and just kept running, letting my feet take me wherever. I was too happy to care where I ended up.
'This is some of the best news ever!' Suddenly my stomach rumbled loudly, and I skidded to a halt. Stopping in the middle of the street. I groaned slightly.
"Dammit body. Way to rain on my parade." I rubbed my stomach a little. I hadn't eaten since yesterday. I definitely needed food.
Then out of nowhere I heard an extremely familiar voice shout, "BECCA-CHAN!"
I turned in a circle, then looked to my right and saw Naruto waving at me grinning. He was walking towards me with Kakashi and Yamato following behind.
I waved back at him with a super huge grin, thrilled to see him.
"NARUTO-KUN!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, and took off running towards him. Proceeding to tackle him in a huge hug, when I reached him.
"I'm so glad to see you!" I said while hanging on to him, squeezing him to death.
"A-ah. Becca-chan... I'm glad to see you too." He manged to get out while I hugged him tightly.
I released him from my death grip, and planted my feet back on the ground. Stepping back and grinning at him. He grinned back his face flushed red.
"Naruto, you have the best timing!" I said to him happily.
"Heh, oh yeah? Why's that?" He grinned at me, putting his arms behind his head.
"I just got super hungry! Now we can go eat!" I put my hand on my stomach for emphasis.
"You dropped something, Becca." I heard Yamato say. I looked to Naruto's left at Yamato who stood there with a pleasant smile.
"Yamato!" I exclaimed, I had completely forgot him and Kakashi had been with Naruto.
I looked to Naruto's right where Kakashi stood smiling, his book and hand.
"Kakashi!" I exclaimed, "I'm super happy to see you guys as well!" I grinned looking between Kakashi and Yamato.
They both smiled at me, obviously happy to see me as well.
"You still dropped something." Yamato said, pointing at the ground.
I looked down, and saw my sunglasses laying on the road. 'They must have fallen off when I tackled Naruto.'
I bent down and picked them up, dusting them off a bit before putting them over my eyes, making everything darker.
I smiled at Yamato, "Thanks Yamato, you brilliant man."
He smiled back. I turned to Naruto, "So are we gonna get lunch then?"
Naruto grinned, "Yep! Ichiraku-ramen!"
I laughed a little, "That's just what I was thinking!" I glanced at Kakashi, who was watching me with a smile.
My heart skipped a beat and I felt my face heat up, I quickly looked away from him. 'Fuck that sexy ninja! Why does he always have to smile at me like that? Gahhh he gives me freakn' butterflies.'
"Ehm, so... uh Ichiraku Ramen then?" I grinned at Naruto trying regain composer.
He nodded happily. "Let's go!"
We walked off in the direction of Ichiraku ramen. I walked next to Naruto, as Kakashi and Yamato walked behind us.
It was a short walk before we reached it, it hadn't been too far from where we were at.
I pushed threw the white curtains, and sat down on a bar stool. Naruto came and sat to my right, Kakashi on my left, and Yamato on the other side of Naruto. I glanced at Kakashi, he wasn't looking at me but straight ahead.
"Welcome!" Teuchi greeted us happily.
"Ossan! A bowl of ramen!" Naruto demanded smiling.
"I'll have one as well, please!" I said to Teuchi trying to be more polite than Naruto.
"Me as well." Yamato said also.
"Ah, right away!" Teuchi smiled, and turned around to work on the ramen.
I turned to my left, "What the hell Kakashi? Do you not eat?" I smiled, teasing him.
He looked at me and smiled, "Sometimes."
I rolled my eyes at him. "Cause that's a healthy way to live."
He chuckled a little, "Well I certainly don't live off ramen."
I gasped pretending to be shocked, "Noo! You? I thought that's all you ate!"
He laughed again, shaking his head a little.
"Here you go!" Teuchi announced, sliding Naruto, Yamato and I, hot bowls of ramen.
I picked up the chopsticks on the counter, and broke them apart. Pulling the delicious smelling bowl of ramen closer to me, I dug in.
'Ahhh! This never fails to be delicious!' I enjoyed every bite I was taking. I looked over at Naruto and Yamato, who were eating at completely different paces. Naruto was wolfing down his food, and Yamato was slowing eating.
I took another bite of ramen, slurping in the delicious noodles.
"You don't know what you're missing!" I said to Kakashi as I took more noodles.
He just sat next to me reading his book, "Ah, it's fine."
"So what were you guys up to, before I ran into you?" I asked before taking another bite.
Kakashi lowered his book slightly, and looked at me. "We were still training Naruto, but we stopped because he was hungry and wanted to find you."
I stopped eating for a second, and smiled. Touched by the fact that Naruto stopped training to come find me.
"He cares a lot about you." Kakashi said.
I glanced at Naruto who was already on his third bowl of ramen. Then looked back at Kakashi.
"He's a really sweet guy, I care a lot about him too." I smiled, and took more ramen.
Kakashi smiled, and went back to reading his book.
We all finished eating, and paid. I ended up eating two bowls of ramen because I had been so hungry. It was nothing compared to the amount Naruto ate, which was like 7 bowls. Now that we were all done and full, we were standing outside Ichiraku ramen.
"Becca-chan. I'm going back to training. You're gonna come with us right?" Naruto asked, giving me slight puppy-dog eyes.
I laughed a little, "Of course I am!"
He grinned at me and put his arms behind his head.
"Well, we don't have time to waste Naruto." Kakashi told him. "If we're done, we need to go."
Naruto dropped his arms, and nodded. "Ah!"
Yamato and Kakashi started walking off. Naruto and I followed after them down the road, heading back to the field.
