BOOK 1: The Chuunin Exams
Chapter 10
I'm late because the scarecrow spent the night with the crimson fox and… NOT THAT WAY!
So enraptured in this epic novel of his, (It was just getting to the good part) Kakashi failed to notice Asta, who was silently creeping up behind him.
Performing hand signs, the smirking girl held her two index fingers in front of her lips and whispered. "Fire style: Jet hot stream."
Kakashi started as a stream of white-hot fire flew just past his good eye, and straight onto his book. With a yelp, he bean shaking it rapidly, but it was useless, the book was burnt to a crisp, RIP.
He turned around angrily, but the anger deflated when he saw Asta trying to conceal a fit of giggles… And needless to say, she wasn't doing to well. In fact, she was laughing so hard, she doubled over and slipped on the for-some-reason-I'm-wet Branch. She blinked, and was about to flip and land safely when she found herself engulfed in a pair of strong, warm arms.
As the pair landed on the ground, Asta looked up at him. "You knew I could've easily landed safely from that."
He looked down at her before lightly setting her on her feet. "And so what if I did?"
Asta sighed, a small smile flitting across her lips as they jumped back onto a dry tree branch and sat down. Asta leaned her head on his shoulder and he looked down at her, before returning his gaze to the trees. " You're a Goddess."
She tilted her head to look at him. "Is that a statement or a compliment?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.
"A statement." He said, looking down at her again. "So… No wonder I couldn't lay a hand on you, ne? So just which one of them are you? And are Stripes, Haiinu and Inuhime your subordinates?"
Asta sighed. "I'm The Crimson Fox and yes, they are my team."
As they continued to watch the wind brush through the trees, the pair just sat there with content looks on their faces, when suddenly Asta looked up at Kakashi again, a slight frown marring her features.
"You don't… Like… Naruto, do you?" Kakashi looked down at her with a raised eyebrow, before sighing.
"No, I don't. Maybe its because of the demon…" Asta narrowed her eyes slightly at this. "Or maybe its because he reminds me so much of sensei, or his way to happy attitude… I don't know. But no, I don't like him."
Asta's gaze turned back to the trees and not too long after she let out a yawn, and Kakashi looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "Tired, are we?"
She looked at him sourly, "Hey, It's not my fault all right, being a goddess is really tiring, ok? Plus, I just finished 3 Double-S ranked missions before having to race over here to take Naruto's place!"
"Awh… Poor Asta! Go back to the tent and go to sleep, I'll wake Sasuke and we can finish this watch, then I'll wake you and Sakura for your turn, mmk?" She looked up at him with a great full smile, before reaching in to her kunai pouch and pulling out something wrapped in cloth and handing it to him. He raised an eyebrow.
"Jiraiya asked me to read it too make sure it was a good book before he put it on the market… He's a very good writer, anyway, he said it was based off 2 people in the village after he saw them hugging… I'll go wake Sasuke and then go to bed, thanks 'Kashi-kun." He watched her as she jumped down and went to the boy's tent, before going to her own. As Sasuke was soon to come out of his tent, Kakashi unwrapped the book, eyes going wide as red began to dust his clothed cheeks.
"ICHA ICHA PARADISE, YAOI EDITION!" and as he looked at the cover he felt his stomach sink. A picture of a silver haired man with a mask on and his Hitai-ate covering his eye was seen hiding behind a fence, watching a totally Uke looking brown haired man with a scar across his nose walk merrily down the street.
"Damn those yaoi fan girls!" He thought as he flipped a few pages in before stopping. "…Actually… Hehehe… Iruka better lookout when we get back from this mission, I'll have tons of good ideas…" With a perverted gleam in his lone eye, he leaned back against the trunk of the tree to read his new book, while Sasuke hopped up on to the branch and kept vigil, wondering why there was a picture of his sensei… Never mind. He turned his head from the book with a light blush and continued to look out for trouble.
The next morning Asta felt less tired, and was shocked too realize she hadn't been woken for her shift. As she left the tent, she noticed that the fishing gear, and Sasuke, was gone, Sakura was waking up the fire and a happy, yet tired Kakashi was bouncing up to her. As he handed her her book back, she raised an eyebrow. "Finished already?"
He nodded and she giggled lightly. "Hey Asta, you reckon you could take over this mission while I go home and… Talk to Iruka."
Asta laughed merrily before answering.
OI! WHAT SHOULD HER ANSWER BE? XD If Asta takes over the mission, you will see more of her skills, but we won't see the flashback that'll be induced when Kakashi uses his Sharingan, plus Kakashi will be a bit disappointed when he gets back.
If he stays, Asta WILL have that sharingan induced flashback and… We'll see I guess.
If you noticed, I just finished editing the previous chapters, including deleting all the authors comments. Anyway….
