Chapter 11
Tori sighed as another parent came up to her in confusion
"Sorry, your chakra signature seemed like it was someone I knew" Akimichi Chouza said, scratching the back of his neck.
Tori was getting slightly irritated and it was not going unnoticed by her roommate.
"Let's go home" Kakashi suggested and after heaving a big sigh Tori nodded. The girl curled up on the couch and stared out the window. Kakashi noticed her behavior when he was making onigiri. He handed her one and she took it without question and bit into it, making a face.
"What is that?"
"An onigiri" Kakashi said, chuckling at her reaction
"I know that, dumbass, I meant what is that?" Tori said, pointing to the filling
"Umiboshi" Kakashi said, chuckling still from the face of disgust the girl had on her face
"What is Umiboshi?" Tori asked, handing the onigiri back to her host
"Pickled plum" Kakashi replied, grinning at the girl
"I don't like it" Tori said
"Really? I couldn't tell" Kakashi said sarcastically and sat down next to her as Tori began clawing at her tongue attempting to get the taste out of her mouth. He chuckled at her reaction and grinned underneath his mask. She was adorable. "Do want to get ramen?" He asked and watched as her eyes lit up before she looked down
"I'd rather not leave the house" Tori said truthfully
"Why not?"
"I am tired of people whispering behind my back about me being Kushina"
"But you are"
"I am Tori, Kushina and I grew up differently, she had Minato, I have nobody" Tori said as she brought her legs closer to her body and rested her head upon her knees
"You have Steven-san, James-san, Dan-san, and Kevin-san don't you?" Kakashi said, trying to cheer her up
"James belongs to Claire, Kevin is a douche, Steven cares more about the band and its image than he does about me, Dan… is Dan, they only get along with me because it is good for the band" Tori explained
"But they are your friends" Kakashi said
"So? I can't tell them the truth; they will think I'm an idiot! Like they would believe that my father messed up a long-ranged jutsu"
"Would you like to expand on that?" Kakashi asked
"Well the jutsu my father used was a one-hand one thought jutsu, you have to clear the mind and think of one place when you start the jutsu. My guess at what happened is simply that my father thought of the edge of the Fire country, which sent Kushina there, but with the distraction of people barging into the room he accidentally put his other hand on me and thought of another place, like someplace far away, I don't know, it is still a mystery to me"
"It makes more sense than it did before, do you know what jutsu it was?" Kakashi asked
"No, it was just performed on me a bunch of times by my father" Tori said and shrugged "I wish I knew it, it would be useful"
"So…"
"So…?" Tori mocked smiling slightly at the man
"You want to tell me how you know that you'll win, every time, every bet?"
"Not particularly" Tori answered slowly "Why?"
"Because I'll make it worth your while" Kakashi said suggestively and scooted closer to the now very confused woman
"I think I'll go to bed now" Tori said quickly and got up and went to her room, face red.
"It's 4 o'clock in the afternoon!" Kakashi said grinning; he was going to enjoy this.
Tori woke from her nap a couple hours later, stomach roaring for food. She clutched her middle in pain and sighed. She needed to eat. She left her room to find the masked man she roomed with. He wasn't in their common area so she supposed he was in his room. She didn't bother knocking on the door and barged in, finding him in a wife beater shirt that hugged his skin and his pants, mask still on, reading his little orange book. He looked up at the woman and crinkled his eye
"Good evening Tori-san, enjoy your nap?"
"I'm hungry" Tori muttered, now looking at the ground, cheeks a bright pink. Kakashi grinned. He patted a spot next to him and Tori complied, walking slowly and sitting on the edge of the bed, ready to jump off if she needed too. It was a bad idea seeing as her back faced him. His breath, through mostly disrupted from the mask, touched her neck and she stiffened.
"What would you like to eat?" He asked huskily in her ear
"Ramen" Tori said quickly in a higher pitched voice than normal. She gripped the fabric of his comforter to keep herself calm. It didn't work all that well when he gently put his hands on her shoulders, positioning his body directly behind hers, his legs touched hers and her mind frantically began beating the walls of her scull in pure shock. Tori had no idea what to do.
"What happened to you not wanting to go outside" Kakashi asked as his hands slowly went to her neck, his thumbs doing small circles around the muscle.
"I….. I do-don't know" Tori managed to stutter out
"Why are you so tense?" Kakashi asked in her ear, grinning at her reactions to his simple touch "You should relax" He cooed huskily in her ear as the massage went to her shoulders slowly, Tori's body relaxed slowly as his hands went lower, following her spine. She let out a soft moan as the muscles began to relax. "Lie down" He ordered and Tori's body complied, eager to be relaxed from tension. Tori's mind disagreed; surely this was a trick of some sort. Guys never acted this way around the girl. Kakashi thumbs dug into the muscle, going deeper now that he could balance himself better. Tori hissed in the slight pain before closing her eyes in the pleasure she was receiving. Kakashi straddled her lower back for better accessibility and went to her lower back, going outward from her spine in circles before beginning to use his knuckles. Her stomach let out a loud roar and Kakashi stopped, getting a whine from the woman beneath him when he did. He grinned and whispered in her ear, "We can resume when we get back home, you still want ramen?"
"Yeah" Tori said softly
"Okay" Kakashi said, getting off of her and fishing his long-sleeved shirt from the ground and putting it back on "Don't let them get to you Tori-san" Kakashi said
"What?" Tori asked, slightly confused as she sat up rolling her back in shoulders as she did so, a few cracks from her spine let loose and she sighed from pleasure
"Don't let the village people get to you, you and I both know and understand you are not the Kushina they know, you are someone completely different" Kakashi said as he slipped on his vest. Tori turned to look at the man and gave him a smile
"Thanks Kakashi-san" Tori said "That means a lot to me" Tori stalled a bit and then said "Don't tell my friends that I have chakra"
"Why?"
"I don't want them to know, it will complicate everything"
"They will find out sooner or later when you begin to have missions with my team"
"I- I still don't want them to know"
"I can't tell their hosts what and what they cannot say around their guests" Kakashi said and Tori dropped her head into her awaiting hands
"Why can't you just seal my chakra again?" Tori muttered. The words were muffled from her hands but Kakashi was able to understand and hugged her from behind, scaring Tori. She quickly turned and took two large steps backwards, looking at the masked man confused; he crinkled his eyes showing he meant no harm
"So…" He started, scratching the back of his neck "You want to go get that ramen now?"
Tori's eyes scanned the area as she ducked behind a bush. Her eyes took in her movement to the left and tapped the shoulder of the Uchiha next to her, pointing to the branch the cat was sitting on. Sasuke ran and jumped to the branch as Naruto whined next to the older woman
"Why did you tell Sasuke-teme and not me?" Tori grinned down at the boy and put her hand on his head and pointed to the tree that Sasuke and the cat were in, Sasuke was getting scratched by the very angry cat
"Because I'd rather he get attacked by the cat than you" Tori said smiling down at the boy "Would you rather that be you?" Tori asked Naruto, pointing to a very angry Sasuke holding the pissed off kitty away from his bloody scratched face. Naruto laughed and pointed, causing Sasuke to glare at him and Tori to giggle. Tori took the cat gently in her hands and began to scratch the cat behind the ears to make the annoyed cat purr and get comfortable in her arms. Sasuke sneered at the cat and the woman currently holding the animal and turned his back on them. Tori motioned with a quick tilt to the right for Naruto to get closer. "Pet him under his chin" Tori said gently and Naruto did so, eyes glistening when the cat began to purr louder. Kakashi and Sakura came from their hiding place and Sakura came up to the cat, cooing at it. The cat hissed and Tori quickly got the cat away from the girl and into Naruto's hands, before getting the girl away from the animal "Sasuke-chan is hurt Sakura-chan, why don't you mend his injuries" Tori encouraged, gaining a death glare from the boy mentioned. Tori grinned evilly and blew off the glare she was receiving. Turning her attention once more to the cat in Naruto's arms, she began to pet and coo the creature, who in turn began to rub affectionately against her cheek. Tori grinned, a matching grin appearing on the boy's face. Kakashi placed a hand gently on Tori's shoulder to get her attention
"We should go give the cat back to its owner" He said, eyes crinkling
"Aww" Naruto whined
"Look at him?" Tori proclaimed indignantly "He wants to stay with us" Tori said, pouting
"You are not the owner"
"I want to keep him though" Tori whined, pouting next to her son
"You are not the owner"
"You need to get a pet, and a cat is the perfect pet" Tori said, grabbing the cat under the armpits and shoving it into Kakashi's face "Look at him! You can't say no to that face"
"Meow" The cat said, confused to why it was no longer getting petted and in front of the face of an annoyed man
"No Tori, he isn't yours" Kakashi said and Tori pouted again, bringing the cat back to her and petting him again, the cat began purring loudly
"Please?" Tori asked, giving Kakashi big puppy dog eyes. Kakashi closed his eyes and sighed, doing various hand seals before jamming his thumb on a thorn on his belt and slamming the hand on the ground. A puff of smoke rose next to Kakashi's hand as he straightened up and Tori watched as a dog formed from the smoke and she squealed, the cat also noticed and dug its claws into her arm "OW!"
Naruto grabbed the cat before Tori could properly hurt the it and she cradled her now bleeding forearm, pouting.
"Stupid cat" She muttered as Kakashi rolled his eyes and wrapped the 'wound' before Tori pounced on the puppy.
Tori glared at the cat in the fat woman's arms as she cradled her, feeling slightly better now that the cat had decided it wanted to be anywhere but the lady's arms. Tori pet the puppy behind the ears and received the thumping of its wagging tail in thanks. She grinned down at the dog. Tori cuddled the animal as she waited with the rest of her team for the news of their next mission
"What do you mean I won't be going with team seven on their C-rank mission?" Tori said, thoroughly annoyed
"You are technically not a Genin yet, Tori-san" the Hokage said "You have a temporary status as a Genin, and as such you are not permitted to leave the village" Tori glared at the man and Kakashi sighed, the puppy that he had summoned whined at Tori's feet, sad it was no longer being petted by the woman. "You will stay with Anko-san as your temporary status becomes permanent and while Kakashi and his team are away." Tori sneered at the idea of staying with Anko. "You will also be trained with Ibiki to insure that Anko's decision on the matter of you becoming a Genin is justified" The Hokage said and Naruto looked up at the unhappy woman sadly. Naruto was looking forward to spending more time with the woman who showed kindness and determination to make him better than his peers, the fact he was going to be gone a week without her on his C-rank mission sounded a lot less fun than he had originally thought it was going to be.
The Hokage motioned for the two Jounin to enter the room and Anko grinned evilly at Tori, producing a death glare to be sent to the kunoichi as well. Ibiki looked between the two annoyed already at their behavior.
"The three of you can go" The Hokage said and Tori sighed, so much for seeing her son beat up Haku and Zabuza… Tori's face lit up and she grinned, confusing the two Jounin she was with as she left the room.
"First things first, you can't be a shinobi with those clothes" Anko said, grinning evilly
"What's wrong with my clothes?" Tori asked indignantly
"They are not from this world, and your boots are not shinobi regulated, so those will have to go to" Anko said, proud that her charge was already not happy with being with the kunoichi. Anko enjoyed her discomfort and pain
"No way in hell" Tori said as Anko pulled out an outfit
"You are going to be a kunoichi, part of being one is being seductive" Anko said
"Fine, I will dress more seductively but I am choosing what I wear" Tori said"I don't want to look like a slut"Tori muttered as she chose a short top, a pair of short shorts and a sash to cover her stomach before heading to the changing room.
Anko looked at the outfit with a look of disgust
"Wear one of these" She said, holding up a full body fishnet, Tori lifted an eyebrow
"Why?"
"For extra protection" Anko said, grinning
"Whatever" Tori said before grabbing it and a jacket and going back into the changing room
"Much better" Anko said "Even though if you lose the sash and show off your stomach it would be better" Anko said and Tori rolled her eyes as she ripped off the tags and forced Anko to buy them "Now for the shoes" Anko said and Tori rolled her eyes as they entered the shoe store. Anko forced the standard ninja sandals onto Tori's feet and she glared as she went to the shoe maker
"Hey, I was wondering if you could use the materials for the regulation ninja sandals and make a shoe that looked like this" Tori said as she put her boots on the counter, the man looked at them, adjusting his glasses as he did so
"I think I can" He said "It would take a couple of weeks, is that okay?" The man said
"Sure, you aren't going to cut into the boots are you?"
"Oh, no, I will just need them for research"
"Okay, how much will it cost?"
"80 Ryou" Tori winced
"Can I pay you when they are finished?" Tori asked and the man nodded. Tori smiled as an idea ran through her head and she rushed to the gates, being stopped by the arms of Kakashi before she did so, he dragged her back to his house
"Are you okay?"
"Perfectly" Tori said, scratching the gauze over the cat's claw marks that were most likely already healed
"I see Anko has taken you shopping" Kakashi said grinning, Tori groaned, even in all black she missed the comfort of being completely covered that her old outfit, that Anko had disposed of, had and that her current outfit lacked. "You look nice"
"I look ridiculous, how long are you going to be gone and can I keep Minato here while you are gone?" Tori asked
"Minato?" Kakashi asked confused, Tori picked up the yellow Pomeranian puppy and pouted at him
"Doesn't he look like Minato?" Tori asked, bringing the puppy up to his face. Kakashi sighed and put his hand on her head and Tori brought the dog closer to her body and glared and pouted up to the man who began to smile
"Minato can stay here with you" Kakashi said and leaned forward a bit "That way I know that you are safe" He said and crinkled his eyes. Tori blushed "I should be back in a week" Kakashi said and dropped his hand from her head to her shoulder kissing her forehead when he took a step closer, making Tori's face grew bright red and her eyes grew wide as he walked past her. Tori gulped and attempted to shake the shock away and turned quickly
"Stay safe!" She yelled after him, and watched him raise his hand in the air
"You too" he said as he looked over his shoulder and grinned.
Tori remembered her devious plan and put the puppy down and did the hand seals for the transportation jutsu. She hopped to sit on the front desk that the guards had at the front gate and crossed her legs seductively and leaned back
"Hello boys" She said, grinning seductively as she leaned back farther "Did you hear that team seven got their first c-rank mission?" Tori asked
"N-no" one of the Chuunins stuttered out, the other one ignored her.
"I bet their C-rank mission turns A-rank" Tori said, and got both their attention at that
"I'll bet on that" The one that was previously ignoring her said
"Me too"
"How much you willing to bet?" Toriasked, grinning at her luck
"20"
"40"
"How about 60?" Tori asked and the two Chuunins nodded Tori smiled at the two as she pushed herself off the desk and turned, eyes crinkled in happiness "Great! Nice doing business with you" Tori said happily
"What business?" Kakashi said behind her, making the woman jump. She turned and glared at the masked man, who was currently looking down at her suspiciously. Tori punched him hard in the shoulder and was annoyed he didn't flinch
"Don't sneak up on me!" Tori yelled
"Why do I get stuck with three little brats when I could have a kunoichi like her?" Tazuna muttered and Tori rounded her glare on the old drunk man, now completely fine with Kakashi sneaking up on her
"You didn't answer me" Kakashi said, as he grabbed the nook of her elbow and Tori looked up at him and grinned
"Just a little bet, nothing to get all upset about" Tori said and Kakashi sighed before Tori lunged and hugged Naruto "You be safe and give them hell for me" She said to the blonde boy and watched him blush. She let him go and waved them off, sad that she wasn't going to play a part in the A-rank mission
"There you are!" Anko yelled "I was looking all over for you!" Tori sighed, wishing that she could be in the dangerous mission with her son and Kakashi than be with the purple haired woman that grinned evilly at her.
