Sumimasen, short again! My bad. Maybe I'll re-write and make it longer, please tell me if I should.
The next day he woke her up accidentally as he got dressed.
"Sorry." He smiled, as he noticed she was awake. "Didn't want to wake you."
"What're you doing, that early for your circumstances?"
"I promised Naruto yesterday that I'll train with him today, since Yamato's on mission."
"That's nice." She yawned and sat up. Yesterday was a fast-day for her, now her stomach was grumbling.
"Sounds like there's someone hungry." He laughed. "And what are you going to do today?"
"Nothing big." She said. "Maybe I'll go for a little walk later, fresh air would be good."
"But no training and stuff, ok?"
"Yeah yeah." She murmured. "Nothing exertive."
"Good girl." He teased. "But now I got to leave. I'm already late."
"How late?"
"Ten minutes."
"OY, that's personal record." She grinned.
"I think you can't be ill." He said sarcastically.
"That's what I was trying to explain you all…" she mumbled, opening the window and the blind.
"Maybe I'll believe you that." He said, kissing her on the forehead and then left.
To tell the truth she didn't feel alright again, but the only thing that bothers her was her stomach. It felt like she has got an upset stomach, and that can take a while. After her morning rituals she decided to cock herself a soup, and then going for a walk. Somehow her feet led her to the academy, and on the half way she met Lee.
"Good morning Lee-san!" she smiled.
"Honoka-san? Good morning." He replied.
"Finished your morning-training?" she asked.
"Hai." He answered. "And I broke my own record at push-ups." He smiled happily.
"Congrats." Honoka laughed. "You train really hard."
He blushed at her compliment.
"Guy-sensei always says, no one can reach good efforts without hard training."
"He's right, training is very important." She nodded.
"Are you going to train today?" he asked her.
"Naa, not today. I'm ordered to make a break." She grinned.
"You look a little pale, if I may say that."
"I know. I kind of overdid it…"
"So, where are you going now?"
"I don't know… I only wanted to go out and get some fresh air."
"I heard that Naruto trains with Kakashi-sensei today. We can go there and watch them." He proposed.
"Yeah, why not." She answered. "But only if it doesn't disturb your training."
"Naa, normally I should've rested today too, but sometimes I just can't sit still." He grinned.
They marched up to the training grounds.
"Still the same place like years ago." Lee stated. "Same with us, we haven't changed location too."
"Really? I had to change every day, sometimes even more often." She said, watching Naruto trying to sneak up behind Kakashi, who was reading a little orange book.
"Was it really that bad?" he asked her curious.
"You can't imagine how it was, Lee. Here in Konoha everything is so peaceful, and the people so friendly. In Kirigakure the most people are that poor, they mostly didn't know what to eat the next day. For a little money or something to eat they nearly sell everything."
"That's a worse state of things."
"You're so right. I lived on the streets for over nineteen years, I lived hand-to-mouth."
"That's why you looked that bad as we found you."
She nodded.
"To tell the truth, we didn't believe that you would make it." He said silently.
"Honestly, I didn't believe it myself. I had given up. The only thing important to me was, that one of the Leaf-nin got the scroll with all the information I gathered, and that was Kakashi."
"You worked for Konoha all the time?"
"Yes." She nodded. "My parents raised me in the faith that Konoha would be the best place for me, a true home."
"And they were right." Lee smiled and gave her a thumps up. "You belong to us now."
"That's good to know." She smiled back and then pushed him aside. "Watch out!"
A Kunai came flying towards them, and nearly had hit him. But instead it cut her upper arm.
"Ouch!" she said, looking at her arm. Not a deep cut, but deep enough to hurt.
"Wow, fast reaction. Are you hurt?"
"Only a little cut, nothing more." She said. "But I'll return it to its owner." She said, standing up.
"Whose is it?"
"Kakashis." She said, throwing it at him, but it missed him and stuck into a tree.
He recognised something flying towards him and sidestepped, but as it stuck into the tree he noticed it was his own Kunai. The scent of blood was attached to it, and he knew the smell! Honoka! He looked around, and found her, standing next to Lee, who was bandaging her upper arm at the moment. Naruto tried to catch his chance, but Kakashi simply kicked him and pinned him to the ground.
"Checkmate." He stated.
"I want a second chance! I can do it better!"
"Not today, Naruto." He said, and walked towards the viewers.
"Have I hurt you?" he asked as he reached them.
"You nearly scored Lee! I pushed him aside and that's the result. Sometimes you should look carefully at ricochets."
"Naruto knocked it away, sorry."
"Nothing had happened. I just tell you. Sometimes Iruka is here with his students too. Not that you score one of them."
"I know." He said, rubbing the back of his head. "By the way, what are you doing here?"
"I was going for a walk and met Lee. He was so kind to accompany me, and we decided to watch your training-session."
"So you feel better?"
"Good enough to leave the apartment. Naruto has improved, has he?"
"Yes, he has. But he still lacks in taijutsu, that's something he has to train more, if he wants to keep up with Sasuke."
"Come on Kakashi-sensei! Only once more!" Naruto pleaded.
"No, for me it's enough for today." Kakashi said, trying to get rid of him.
"I can spar with you, if you want to." Lee said.
"Oy, bushy-brows! I didn't know you were here." Naruto grinned.
"You need taijutsu-training, and here you have a master offering you a little help."
"Hmpf." Naruto grumbled.
"If you want to get better you shouldn't refuse an offer. Do you want to stay Chunin? I've never heard a Chunin became Hokage." Kakashi teased.
"Yosh! Then let's spar bushy-brows." Naruto grinned and Lee grinned back.
"But I won't go easy on you."
"I haven't expected you to."
"You really know which button you have to push." She grinned.
"Would be sad if I wouldn't. I train that knucklehead long enough." He chuckled.
"And you've trained him well."
"But the most efforts he made under Jiraiya. Sometimes I feel bad because I trained Sasuke more than him."
"But he didn't seem to be angry because of that. He likes you, for him you are part of something similar to a family." She said, watching him fighting Lee.
"It's the same the other way round. Somehow he reminds me of Obito."
"It's good to have someone to care for, it puts sense in a life." Honoka stated, a slight smile on her face, while she looked into the distance.
"What's up with you?" he asked her after a while.
"I don't know. Somehow I feel strange, like something is going to happen."
"Something bad?"
She nodded. "Yeah, that's how it feels. Like a storm is approaching."
"You're safe in Konoha." He said, looking at her.
"I know. But I'm not always here… slowly I'm building up a reputation, and the name Sakae is known in Kirigakure."
"What's the matter? You're never alone on missions."
"I know. And I know that it's only one person who wants to get me in his hands. Yori."
"Yori?"
"He was leader of the life guards of the Mizukage. But something had happened, and he displaced him. He was in the same position as Ibiki is here as I left. Many people murmured that he is pulling the strings in the background. Killing him would weaken the government, and would allow a change."
"Why didn't they rise to kill him?"
"Who? Yori? Zabuza tried twice, and even Kisame tried and failed."
"You would be able to do it, with your Kekkei Genkai."
"I think so, but it contains a risk. He knew about it, he wanted to marry my mom, but she rebuffed him. Dad said that this could've been a reason why he let her got killed."
"So you would take your chance for revenge, if it's given to you?"
"Definitely." She nodded. "Definitely."
