Year Two

Explode

Inokoto was more social this party. She cheered up when she was once again able to pull Naruto's finger and he made fart sounds.

What she liked the most was playing with Kakashi because he never stopped her no matter what deadly object she pulled out of his pockets. It was only a selected few that would stop her, mother, father and aunt Sakura so she was on a constant lookout for them.

Inokoto loved the feel of cold metal.

"Oh, that one can explode!"

That was the only time he stopped Inokoto. Not only would she harm herself and anyone close by, Kakashi would probably be responsible for the damage and would have to restore Itachi's house if he didn't lose his arms or anything. Seemed like too much work to be worth it.

"Explode…"

Inokoto looked with curious eyes on the explosive. She wasn't familiar with the word. She didn't know what an explosion was and she really wanted to see what it was. It was an interesting looking thing. It looked like a tiny ball and she wondered if that was what it was and therefore that was also how you played with it. Tossed it, kicked it.

"Kakashi is fun now."

She pulled out yet another knife from his vest, this time a butcher knife in case he would suddenly find himself on a mission again and was hungry for some meat. It could happen, you never knew.

He looked down at the little girl who was now pushing the blade against her cheek. Perhaps he should have stopped her from doing that to? Nah, if she got hurt she would learn.

"I like the cold."

Inokoto confessed as she turned the knife around.

"And how I make it warm."

Was it normal for children to play with knives? He always had, and this was the child of Ino and Itachi. Of course it would be fine. It was already obvious to Kakashi that this was no normal child and she was already way beyond her peers. It was only the Nara kid that kept up when it came to wits. It would be interesting to see just how far this kid would progress.

To Kakashi it wouldn't be unlikely that she'd be able to kill him within ten years. That was if she wanted so he'd let her continue to play with his weapons to keep on her good side.

"You were like metal too and I'll help so that you never turn cold again."

She said it as if had been the most normal thing. Itachi or Ino hadn't told her about him had they? No, they were overprotective of her. She didn't even know what they used to do for a living. Kakashi passed it off as something odd children sometimes said. She didn't know the meaning of it, no it was just something she said.

She jumped down and ran when she saw her mother put her eyes on her.

Inokoto had hoped her parents would be too busy to entertain guest than to worry about her. She should have known they always worried about her.

Reward you guys for giving reviews (I'm a blatant review whore) and I only get one review this time. I laugh at the irony. xD

A fan: You're a good detective! Not going to totally kill the almost ItaIno romance. Haha, I have to see my dentist soon. Inokoto is so sweet I'm afraid she's giving me cavities. It's also been far too long since I've seen someone use "D:" I love D: Yeah! Go us! Technology got nothing on us(if we try long enough!) I think blond Shikamaru will haunt me forever. I see him every time I close my eyes. Need to see a therapist after the dentist.
