Hey, I'm really, really sorry that I havent updated in so long. I went to England for the holidays and only got back last week.

Chapter 10: The Note

Kakashi's room was a mess. He'd destroyed pretty much everything searching for the book. What the hell was going on!? he though wildly as he ripped up a pillow causing hundreds of feathers to cover the room.

"Aaauuuggghhh!!! Dammit!!" he shouted in frustration.

Okay, let's review what I did last night. He thought, slightly calmer now. I went out with that girl whose name escapes me. Went back to her place. Had sex 146 times. Snuck out in the middle of the night and came back here. I had it the whole time, and then I put it onto the table... Then where the hell is it!?

"Hmm?" he said after looking under his bed. There was a note.

If you want to see you book again, come to the forest.

"Uh... Okay. That's pretty vague." Kakashi said after reading it. He needed a team.

Kakashi found Hinata and Naruto having lunch at an outdoor cafe.

"Naruto! Hinata!" he shouted as he stood directly behind them causing them to jump. "Get your asses in gear! We're going on a mission now!"

"What the hell!?" they both shouted at the same time in surprise.

"What are you talking about!?" Naruto asked.

"Mission. Now." Kakashi said. "Get Sakura and Shikamaru and meet me at the foot of the Hokage faces."

"Alright." Naruto grumbled. Usually, he would be psyched to go on a mission, but he was on a date right now.

Hinata went off to find Sakura while Naruto brought Shikamaru. They met Kakashi at the foot of the mountain, pacing nervously.

"What's this mission about?" Naruto asked in confusion.

"We have to find something important." Kakashi said. "C'mon, we have to go to the woods."

"Wait, what do we have to find?" Shikamaru asked.

Kakashi shook slightly as if recalling a traumatic experience. "Someone took my ICHA ICHA PARADISE BOOK!!!" he shouted angrily causing the whole mountain to shake.

"What!? Your making US searh for it!? What the hell's wrong with you!?" Naruto shouted at him.

"What a pain in the ass..." Shikamaru muttered.

"Let's go team!" Kakashi shouted as they took off into the forest.
