Previously!

Kiyomi took a step forward, following suit as well, "Team number Nine, led by Kiyomi, consist of Ran Yuka, Aoi Hajime, and Tatsou Tamatsu. I vow upon my honored clan, the Ran, that I am as certain as my previous colleagues have said; that they are also ready for the Chūnin exams." Said Kiyomi.

Kurenai and her drank a few until Asuma and Kiyomi begun a drinking contest. Kiyomi didn't win and was completely smashed along with Asuma. She was leaning on Kakashi with her last cup of sake in hand, speaking gibberish. Kurenai and Kakashi gathered their Jōnin friends and parted ways, Kakashi with Kiyomi and Kurenaim with Asuma.

Kiyomi leaned onto Kakashi's shoulder, speaking softly, "I'm sorry." She whispered.

Kakashi blinked at his drunk friend, "What? Why?" Said Kakashi.

She slightly weaved, "For everything. For letting everyone die," She said, her head bobbed.

Kakashi stared at her, "You didn't let anyone die-," He said, but Kiyomi interrupted him.

"I let Obito die! I was supposed to protect him!" She said and started sobbing, "I nearly let Kiyomi die and you nearly did on that damn mission with Zabuza. I can't protect anyone!"

Kakashi sighed, 'I hate it when she's drunk.' He thought, "Come on, Kiyomi. Let's get you home." She nodded, stumbling as he guided her back to her house.

Chapter Ten: Tears and Misunderstandings. Welcome to my home!

Kakashi led a stumbling Kiyomi inside the house and quietly took her to her room. He knew the house inside and outside since he'd been there a lot whenever she got sick or invited him over to have a quiet birthday party for him. Kiyomi stumbled along the stairs till Kakashi picked her up and took her up the rest of the way. He set her down and she finally found her center, bring herself over to her table. Sitting down at the table, she lowered her on to a pillow and laid her head atop of the table, Kakashi sat across from her.

"Kiyomi, it's not your fault. Obito's death isn't your burden to shoulder alone. You have your family and us. Why do you do bash yourself every time you let your walls down." He said as she hiccupped.

Kiyomi closed her eyes, one last tear fell, "Because I loved him so much, Kakashi. So much so, that I would give anything in the world just to be able to see him again." She said burying her face into her arms.

Kakashi sighed heavily, 'Can she ever forgive herself for that already. She wasn't the one that let him get crushed. Huh?' Thought Kakashi rubbing the side of his head and then he noticed Kiyomi was lightly snoring. He groaned and stood up; he walked over, scooping up the sleeping Kiyomi. He carried her over to her futon and laid her under the covers. As he covered her, she grabbed his arm tightly, "Please stay with me tonight. I'll have nightmares again…" She whispered, Kakashi reluctantly agree, took off his vest, and joined her. She pulled herself close to him and fell asleep.

Kakashi sighed, "What have I got myself into." He said and fell asleep.

*~*Next Morning*~*

"Kiyomi-ne! Breakfast is ready!" Called Yuka from the kitchen; she was wearing black shorts and a deep purple baggy t-shirt, "Kiyomi-nee?" She said again looking up the stairs not seeing her sister at all. Ryuu stood up from the sleeping area in the living room and went upstairs. Yuka set down teapot on the kitchen dining table, and went up stairs. Ryuu was waiting at the third floor shoji doors; Yuka opened it and went to Kiyomi's room to tell her about breakfast. Ryuu on her heels, when Yuka opened the shoji doors, she stared at what sleeping in Kiyomi's futon. A hugging curled up Kiyomi and Kakashi holding her with his right arm as she laid her head on his chest. Her hair sprawled out like a fan and both still wearing the clothes from yesterday. Ryuu walked over and glanced inside.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?!" He snarled.

Kakashi and Kiyomi bolted up, Kakashi already jumped to his feet, "Ryuu! Shut your mouth! It's to damn early for the screaming!" Snapped Kiyomi; her eyes were narrow and bloodshot.

"Did he make you cry?!" Snarled Ryuu bearing his canines at Kakashi.

"NO! NOW SHUT THE HELL UP AND GET THE HELL OUT!" She screamed and threw the pillow at Ryuu's general direction, clearing missing Yuka's head and hitting Ryuu, "Yuka. We'll be down in a minute, please go get me some really strong painkillers. My head is pounding," Said Kiyomi and stood up, heading over to a bigger shoji door, opening, and then closed them behind her.

Ryuu walked further down and some yelling begun, Kakashi and Yuka ignored it.

Yuka sighed, "You two didn't do anything, did you?" She asked bluntly.

"No." He stated.

"Why did you stay the night?" Said Yuka leaning on the shoji door lightly.

"She got really drunk with us last night; I brought her home so she wouldn't end up in some alley. She asked me to stay the night because she was worried about nightmares." He explained.

Yuka closed her eyes, sighing deeper, "Yeah. She has a lot of those when she drinks. Anyway, you two can come eat breakfast. I'll bring her painkillers to the table." She explained and went downstairs.

Kiyomi walked out in black pants and a form-fitting black Jōnin vest. The two walked down stairs and ate quietly. Then the group left the house and split up from Kakashi when they reached Ichiraku Ramen. Hajime and Tamatsu were waiting for them, eating some ramen of course.

"Good morning." Said Kiyomi cheerfully, catching the Genin's attention, "Now that I have all of you here. I have something you three will very much like. I recommended the three of you to the Chūnin exams."

Yuka, Hajime, and Tamatsu stared, "What?!" Said Yuka.

Kiyomi passed out three applications, "Fill these out and bring them with you to the Academy. Report to room 301 by 4:00pm tomorrow afternoon. Yuka, I won't be coming home, I'll be spending the night at a friend's. You may have any of your friends over tonight. That's all. See you all tomorrow." She said and vanished.

Hajime smiled, "Hmm. Uh, guys. What's the Chūnin exams?" Asked Hajime.

Tamatsu face faulted, "You don't know what the Chūnin exams are?" He said. Hajime shook his head, 'no.' Tamatsu sighed, "Genin are sent from surrounding villages of Konoha to compete against Genin candidates of Konoha. It's mainly to maintain the skill of all shinobi at the same level of excellence. Also to create a friendship and understanding between shinobi of different villages and, of course, maintain the balance of power between the lands itself." He explained.

"Ah! So basically, this is a cover for us to maintain peace? Huh." Said Yuka.

"Pretty much." Stated Tamatsu and they all left.

Yuka walked down to a large meadow and lay down in the grass. She watched as the butterflies and dragonflies float across the air with birds flying to the surrounding trees. Yuka closed her eyes till something landed on her nose, she opened her eyes and a small ladybug and pair dark glasses covered eyes looking at her.

"Hello Yuka." He said through his mouth covered jacket.

"Oh! Shino!" She said and blushed. Yuka sat up smiling, "I haven't seen you in awhile. Um how've you been?"

Shino sat down, "Good. I haven't seen you as well." He stated as he watched the butterfly flew away.

Yuka looked down at her clamped together hands, rubbing her thumbs together, "Well, Kiyomi-nee has been keeping us tied up with missions." She said. Shino glanced at her, about to say something, but Hajime bolted out of thin air, jumping on Yuka's back, "HI YUKA!" Yelled Hajime jumping of her, taking off.

"HAJIME! GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE!" Snarled Yuka.

The two Genin from Team Nine ran around as Tamatsu arrived, "Sorry about that Shino. He tends to do before he thinks. I'm beginning to think he does it to just piss her off sometimes," Apologized Tamatsu.

Shino slightly nodded, "It's alright. It keeps Yuka on her toes I think." Mused Shino as he watched Yuka chase Hajime around.

Yuka finally got tired of chasing Hajime around and invited them to stay the night. She said she's also going to invite Hinata and Kiba. Tamatsu said he couldn't, but Shino and Hajime said they had to clear it with their fathers. They came back later and said yes they could. Yuka asked Hinata and she said she could, Kiba did also. Ino apparently over heard the conversation and said she could, so Yuka invited her along. Sakura asked also and so did Naruto. Yuka agreed to it telling everyone to be at her house after sun down and come hungry.

"So I have Naruto, Sakura, Ino, Hajime, Hinata, Kiba, and…..sigh… Shino." Said Yuka as she cooked.

Tsunami lay down on the kitchen floor, our of Yuka's way, "So Shino is coming. Are they spending the night?" She asked.

Yuka nodded, "Everyone's room are set up." She answered.

Ryuu walked in and grunted, "How many boys." He grumbled.

Yuka groaned, "Kiyomi-nee said I could have guests over, Ryuu. It's only four boys and four girls. Equality of the sexes." Explained Yuka.

"Is the boy you like among this group?" He stated, but before Yuka answered Tsunami did it for her, "Yup!" Mused Tsunami.

"Tsunami!" Called Yuka turning red.

Tsunami and Ryuu smirked, "Just behave yourself, Yuka. I'll be Kiyomi's room if you need me. I think I need to be up there away from all the hormones." He said and with that said, he left up the stairs.

"Asshole." She muttered as she finished cooking. Everyone came like she asked and ate. Then moved to the living room and begun talking about the Chūnin exams.

"So has anyone seen the Chūnin exams before?" Asked Naruto.

"I heard about them from Kiyomi-nee. She said they are pretty tough. Some of the proctors are different and are very strict from the ones she and Kakashi had to deal with," Explained Yuka nibbling on some rice crackers.

"Yeah, that seems to be the rumor going around." Said Kiba. Hinata nodded.

"So, anyway, on to more important things; Yuka, you have to tell us. Is Kiyomi really going out with Kakashi?" Asked Ino looking to the now coughing Yuka, Shino patted Yuka on the back till her throat cleared.

Yuka looked at Ino, "What makes you think my sister is dating him?" She asked.

Ino smiled, "Because the two of them walked into our flower shop today and he bought some blue roses, giving them to her." Explained Ino.

Yuka sighed, "Those weren't for her," Stated Yuka in a sad tone, her answer caught everyone's attention; everyone was now looking at Yuka, "You see during the Third Great Shinobi War," She started, "Kiyomi-nee was in it was Kakashi and her former team members. They were on the last mission together during the last bit of the War. Her sensei was killed first, right in front of them, and then when Kiyomi tried to protect her comrades. They tried avenging their fallen sensei, only to die in Kiyomi-nee's arms. I did hear that Kiyomi-nee was so angry when they died; she used our Kekkei Genkai." She said looking to the floor.

"Your clan has a Kekkei Genkai?! Like Sasuke's?" Said Sakura.

"Uh. Yes, we have a Kekkei Genkai, but not the Sharingan. That's only unique to Uchiha members and Kakashi alone. We have something that we call the Red Dragon's Blood. The only living member right now that can use it is Kiyomi. I have yet to be able to use it. Our Kekkei Genkai is a double edge sword. It kills the user slowly due that they are using their blood as a weapon, the last time Kiyomi-nee told me. She can only use the Kekkei Genkai for thirty-six hours and four minutes, anymore than that and she'll die, but that's why the Ran Bells are so important, they extend the limit," Explained Yuka.

"And how they do that?" Asked Naruto.

"The friend bell extends it by three hours. As the lover bell, seven hours." Explained Yuka.

"Any draw backs?" Asked Sakura.

"Well. If you use the Kekkei Genkai and are close to your limit, you would have to at least rest for twice the many hours you use or you'll never gain back the blood you use. But the most serious one is when your lover bell holder dies," Said Yuka, "It's why I'm certain Kakashi and her aren't a thing. She doesn't want to get close to someone and they get them killed much like what happened in the past."

Everyone exchanged looks, and then Shino spoke, "What happens with the lover of the Ran dies?" He asked.

Yuka looked up at him, "The Ran user dies also. If she doesn't fight in battle, she'll have three hours to live, but if she fights…she'll only have thirty minutes." She responded. Everyone was quiet at this.

"Damn. That's a real bummer." Said Ino crossing her arms.

"Yeah." Said Sakura.

"I still say those two would be perfect together. I mean come on. They both have the same first letter. Ka. Ki. If they have a kid, they should name him/her Shi! Ka. Ki. Shi! HA-HA!" Laughed Naruto. Hajime laughed in agreement and the other groaned.

Note: Please review, I need to know if there is any thing I can improve on in this. I wrote this story around the time Naruto came out and never had a chance of putting it up. So. Please review. Thanks. I'll post another chapter soon.
