"So what is it exactly that you have been teaching Sasuke?"

Kakashi and Koumori were both sitting in front of the dango shop as Kakashi was calmly reading his Icha Icha Paradise book and Koumori was gorging down multiple sticks of dango and her favorite tea.

"Chidori. He's almost there. Just needs a little more time."

"Mmm, he'll get it soon. Knowing him, he'll probably get it right before the competition starts. Hah! Imagine! He's smart though, so he might get it before then."

Kakashi just rolled his eyes and went back to reading his book.

"Mmm."

Koumori set aside her empty dish and cup off to the side and took Kakashi's book from him and started flipping through it.

"What's so interesting about this anyways? It's just perverted."

Kakashi took the book right back from Koumori and went to find the spot he was at and continued reading.

"It's the most beautiful creation ever created. You wouldn't understand the beautiful content and depth that this book goes into. It's beyond many people's comprehension."

Koumori rolled her eyes at Kakashi and shook her head.

"I definitely don't understand and will never understand. Oh, and here comes the perverted author of it now."

Kakashi looked up from his book and saw Jiraiya striding towards them.

"Yo Kakashi, Koumori."

"Jiraiya-sama."

"What brings you here Jiraiya? Where's your little munchkin? Aren't you supposed to be training him?"

"I ditched him. He can deal a day without me. But, I'm actually here to talk to you Koumori. You need to go on an information retrieval mission."

"More work!?"

Koumori groaned and slouched down from the bench.

"I was promised a 3 month break, I should have gotten a longer one, but I want my break!"

"You have to take it, it's directly from the Hokage and trust me, you want to take this."

"Auuuugh, fine. I'll catch up with you later Kakashi. Don't be too harsh on Sasuke."

"I will be."

Koumori just glared at Kakashi as he went back to reading his book. Koumori followed Jiraiya away from the public and up to a more secluded area where they could talk without being overheard.

"So what is it now Jiraiya?"

"Have you heard of an organization called the Akatsuki?"

"I've heard of them in passing from countries here and there while I was off on my mission. A bunch of S-ranked criminals is the basics of what I know."

"Yea, they are a growing organization full of very strong shinobi. We don't know much about them but the Hokage wanted me to request of you to go and find out some more information about them."

Koumori took in a deep breath and let out a sigh.

"Man, I'm never going to be able to just relax. When do I leave?"

"As soon as possible. So today."

"Auuuugh. I'll go pack now then and say bye to Sasuke and Kakashi."

Koumori began to turn away from Jiraiya when he stopped her.

"Koumori.

"What?"

"Watch your back."

Koumori smiled at Jiraiya and waved him off.

"Don't worry. It's been stabbed so many times that I can't stop looking at it now."

And with that she left.


"I don't get why you're leaving already? You said that the Hokage would give you three months off."

Koumori had her pack slung on her back and on her way to the front gates she stopped off at the training grounds that Sasuke and Kakashi were training at.

"I know Sasuke, that was what I was expecting too, but when duty calls I have to go."

Koumori brought her hand on top of Sasuke's shoulder and patted it.

"You're going to miss my match."

"I know. But I know that you'll do great Sasuke."

Sasuke shrugged off her hand and looked away from her.

"Whatever. Just leave."

Sasuke then turned his back to Koumori and walked away from both her and Kakashi.

"You know he doesn't mean that."

Koumori let out a sigh and just rubbed her temples with her index finger and thumb.

"I know that Kakashi. I'm the only one he has left, but I'm always gone when he needs me the most. What a great big sister I am. I'm just as bad as his brother."

Koumori was brought into a hug and she brought her hands up and grasped the back of Kakashi's vest.

"You're not anything like his brother. You've done more for Sasuke since the massacre than he ever has. Sasuke will understand that what you're doing is for him and for the village."

"Thanks Kakashi. I'm pretty sure he understands. He's just lonely. I mean what's the point of knowing that there is someone there when that person is never there. I'm going to have to tell the Hokage that he needs to let me take that three month break."

"Mmm."

A silence passed between the two as they stayed in each other's embrace, but was broken as an anbu landed by the two.

"Shinpi Koumori-sama. Your team is waiting for you by the entrance gate."

"Team? I thought this was a solo mission?"

"No, myself and two others shall be accompanying you."

"Well lucky me! I get to finally be in the company of other Konoha nins on a mission. Well alright then. I'll be there shortly."

With a nod the anbu disappeared. Koumori swiftly turned back to Kakashi and gave out a small sigh.

"Take care of Sasuke for me Kakashi. He's all I have left."

"Don't worry. I won't let anything happen to him."

Koumori smiled at Kakashi and gave him a hug.

"Thanks Kakashi. You're the best."

She released him from the hug and then took out her mask from her pack.

"I'll be going then. Until next time."

After covering her face with her bird mask, Koumori disappeared before him.

"Good luck."
