Sitting in the bubble bath I watched as Kakashi landed on my balcony. A smile on my face as I had not seen him in a while and was unsure if he knew I moved.

I was about to get out but I needed to wash the bubbles and conditioner from my hair as I unplugged the bath and turned on the shower, my inside eyes never leaving him.

I watched him slowly move around my home, almost looking like he was snooping around, he even paused at my bookshelf.

I was done and turned it off, all I had in here was a towel as I wrapped it around me and peeked out, my eyes landing on him as he faced me with the cutest eye smile and a small wave with one hand in a pocket.

I just smiled at him not saying a word, I slowly opened the door, Kakashi looked away with a small blush and I shuffled to my bedroom without looking back and shut it behind me, quickly getting dressed.

He has seen me in a towel to much, the way these guys just show up makes me sad I cant hang around my home naked in this world, I looked at the door "I miss that"

Rubbing my wet hair in my towel I finally faced him as I checked him out with curiosity as to why he was here, he said nothing and picked up my green book and reread what Jiraiya once wrote to me.

"To the cutest women that helped me with my research, you are a fan but so am I, Jiraiya?" He spoke in his sexy voice making me smile and lean on my wall "that is kind of cheesy"

"Ah but he wrote in my book" I joked, he looked a little deflated as he put it back.

He stuck his hands in his pocket and continued to look around as I tossed my towel into my room and he gave me a look at my laziness, he bent over and lightly tapped the plant that sat on my coffee table "Much better place" he spoke again as I nodded just watching him walk around.

I nodded with a small smile in wait for the reason he was here but I did not mind as I missed him, I had not seen him since that moment at the gate a little over a week ago but we did not even talk for a bit before that.

"How is your training?" he asked.

"It is good, I can go in and out of sage mode easy" I spoke still leaning on my wall my eyes not leaving his form before he stared at me making me feel like I was being creepy but that made me smirk as I stared harder.

"Would you like to learn mist?" he asked his eye smile coming back.

"Finally" I said the biggest smile crossing my face.

We moved to the closet training ground and he showed me the hand signs and told me how to do it.

I could feel the drain understanding why it is a high level jutsu as it slowly started to grow in a wide ark around us, covering so far away it took up so much space and yet I did not know how to control it just yet, the deep fog started to come to about our middles before It started to feel like to much and I dropped it.

Looking at him he watched me carefully as it started to slowly fade back down.

"Weew" I said "that was draining" I can't wait to try that out in sage mode but it was to early in the day to be knocked out for hours.

"You did well for just learning" I gave a small smile in happiness, so glad that I have this now "You will be amazing in sage mode"

I felt flattered at the way he was looking at me "thank's sensei" I flirted making him eye smile at me looking ever so cute "you seem to be in a happy mood today" I spoke to him with kindness.

He cocked his head slightly "do I?" he lightly chuckled "and for what you asked in the cave, the only advice I have is use it when you need to and then try and make it fast"

I laughed "that is great advice, just do it fast" I smirked before I looked at him serious "thank you" he nodded "sensei" I flirted at the end.

"There it is" He joked back to me.

"Well I eat after every training, would you like to eat with me?" I spoke up before I stared at him and he stared back "right" I looked at his mask making him smile again, he is just so cute today, my smile grew "we can get take out"

He seemed to think about it before he nodded "Where to sensei?" I did not know his favorite food, he started to walk looking lazy as I followed "I like this one place with the best Miso soup" I smiled, I don't think I have had that yet.

We moved through town and I noticed I have been at this place before a few times the most recent was the other day with Guy when he helped me move.

I was shocked when he got a table to eat at, so I guess he does eat out.

I ordered what he did as I was curious what was so good about it, miso soup with eggplant.

We sat in some silence as I did not know how to start a conversation when I heard a small whisper and Kakashi heard it to.

"I thought she was on a date with the green beast and now with Kakashi?""this one is not going as well"

We both peered over and they noticed we heard making them look away and shut up but I did recognize them as the only ones from that night that were in here, before I started to lightly chuckle as I looked at him "can't believe they remembered that" I said silently as he stared at me "the gossip in this place is so strange sometimes, it was just friendly"

He just nodded blankly making me look at him sadly "I can straighten the rumor out if you want?"

He eye smiled again "I care as much as you do" I just smiled and we waited for food.

We had a small chat and the food came, I slowly tried it and it was pretty good but far from my favorite. I laughed when I slightly looked away and suddenly all his food was gone as he was leaned back in the chair looking at peace.

"I don't know how you did that with such a hot soup" I just stared impressed.

He just gave a small chuckle "training"

He went his way as I watched him leave the way I always do before I turned back to the training grounds.

It was getting later in the day, I did my normal nightly thing before I paused at a big field where a small tree sat a few yards from the forest giving a good look on the range of the jutsu before I jumped as high as I could, squatting on a small branch near the top.

I slowly pulled in chakra, looking around I was alone as the sun was setting now so it was the time to see.

I did the hand signs and it felt like nothing as the mist covered the ground in the biggest area, slightly into the far tree line, as It rose almost to my feet, covering everything as I watched with an amazed smile.

A small spark came at me, in the same second a Kunai making me drop backwards into the mist, it was Kakashi, I held back a giggle as he was on me again his chakra hidden but I could lightly see it, I tried to move around as silently as I could as I ran around him in zig zags trying to hope he loses my scent as his smell covered the area and I was glad to smell him again, a weird thing to miss.

He moved on me quickly as I tried to block and I was doing okay unsure how much he is holding back as I never have fought him before, when he hit me hard in the side I brought my water fists up and really went at him, it was harder to see when he was going to hit me as the sense was like it used to be.

I started to block well with my painful water and he stopped coming at me.

I watched his chakra move away and I ran to left unsure of what he was planning but knowing I should not follow, my mist still covering us both.

He moved far away making me lose his chakra when suddenly he was underground, I spiked my ankles and he went to grab but paused just before it hurt him and then the ground waved making me send chakra into the ground just to stay on my feet "Earth" I heard him say before he was far to right making me spin "Water"

I jumped into the air with worry but I was right as a big something came at me pulling me to the ground and making me roll but I used it cover me completely and I easily got on my feet in the same roll "Fire" his voice was all around but I stood in ready as a fireball came at me, my water blocking it easy.

Unsure what wind was and knowing lightning is painful I shoved chakra into my feet and just ran towards the treeline but he was in front of me when I felt a genjutsu and I pushed it away as I slid in to kick out his feet.

He had moved easy before pausing a few feet behind me "you said you would try it before nightfall and I had to see" I smiled at him even if he could not see, I wanted to ask how easy he was going but I was afraid of the answer as we stood there.

I watched his chakra and his smell all around me gave me an urge to kiss him, it startled me and I shoved it away, glad the mist blocked my thoughts as he could read them well.

I don't even know where that came from.

"How is the difference?" he asked.

"It is like nothing in sage mode, but I don't have to long" he moved closer to the point he was almost at me where I could slightly physically see him and I dropped the jutsu as he seemed to be done testing me.

"So how did I do sensei?" I asked as it faded around us.

"Pretty decently" he sounded happy as he looked at me with an eye smile.

"Cool" I smiled.

But then I noticed his closeness and I started to feel awkward "I am going to head home before it drops" I was weirded out by myself as I turned to move away suddenly, I think I confused him "See you later" I yelled with a back wave.

Moving through the town with such speed "Gee Ava" I was far from him but I looked back sadly as I headed home "Don't go there"

I was sitting my my morning coffee on a bench when two civilian men walked by, I was drawn in at the way he was talking about some girl, how perfect she was when his friend spoke up with "how are you sure, you never met her and she even lives in town"

I was startled and thought catfish with a giggle until I remembered, there is no internet.

"Girl, why you giggling?" this man sounded angry.

"Nothing" I said "sorry"

His friend spoke up "strange right?" he gave him a glance "no girl is as perfect as this one sounds"

"In my world there was a name for that" once that came out they looked startled and looked me over, "Ava" I pointed to myself as they seemed to understand "women and most likely men fake being a perfect match and a sexy women to scam money or revenge out of the person, it was called catfishing"

His buddy hit his arm "see" he stared at me deeply a little shaking at the man comment "he has sent her cash and Items to a empty home and he would not believe me"

"She was perfect" he spoke sadly making his buddy rub his shoulder and I gave a sad look "She said she was a ninja but was always about to leave on a mission when I wanted to meet"

I nodded "catfish"

"Are you sure?" he asked with sadness.

I shrugged "might not be, it is hard to tell"

He stared at me, his eyes over my ninja symbol "can you help me find her?"

I looked curious as I have never done something like that before "umm, sure" I looked at my almost empty coffee "where is this house and can I read your mail?"

His friend looked happy as he looked nervous about the letters.

"What is your name?" I asked.

"Tama" and he pointed to his friend "Maki" I smiled before we moved to his home so I could read his love letters, tossing my coffee in a garbage bin.

Just like at home the messages got pretty deep and personal as he watched me nervously and I gave a smile like no judgment.

He has tried to wait and see for her on some days but eventfully gave up as she was probably on a mission, she does get back to him sometimes soon and other times it took a while but I don't know much about normal mail for cat fishing.

She did seem to speak like she knows what this man likes and loves and really was the perfect girl for him.

After that I headed to the house he sent mail to, it was in an older area where a few people lived not to far away from my granpa's home, I went for the mail box where inside sat three letters, one from the man I left and two more with her name and different names on the return, I held them as I peeked inside the home but the windows were to dirty in dust.

I decided to break in and I lightly unlocked the door, the inside had a few furniture but it was dusty and looked unlived in. Moving to the table that was the cleanest and there was a ton of opened and empty mail from the same people and one more.

I took the extra empty one for his address and moved out of the house, putting the man's that hired me back in the mailbox, I found a hidden spot across the road and just sat down in wait and opened the ones from the others.

There was a small love note, and a bit of money in one saying I hope you can help that poor girl so I am here to help.

The next was a long note and a deep story of sadness as this man reached out to this women, this one held nothing else.

I think I will talk to these poor men.

I ended up just sitting there for way to long in wait for this 'women" to grab her mail.

Maybe I should get her some kind of strong and bad perfume then I can find her with my nose if needed, as most people at least check what it smells like, I peeked around and not a person seemed to be around so I snuck away and headed for the store.

If I miss this person it may help slightly.

I moved around the isle as I sniffed bottles with my sense heightened so I did not need to spray them all when Hayashi came by, a small basket of objects.

"Ava?" I smiled before I gave a short summery of what I was doing and he seemed interested as he sat his basket at his feet and helped me sniff but it was harder for him and lightly sprayed some.

We found one, it was strong and slightly bad, a kind most people would not personally buy and because it was so bad it was pretty cheep.

He ended up following me back to the home as we looked around for watchers before I slid the perfume in the box with a fake note of here my love, wear it for me and we slid into the perfect spot I was in before for a stakeout.

"So, catfishing? What exactly is that?" I smiled and spoke softly as I told him "I think we need to inform the other men on the mail" I nodded in agreement.

"But I need to watch this house" I said sadly.

We sat there for almost an hour where he pulled out paper and paint.

"With your perfume idea" he mumbled, I just watched him, it took about ten minutes and he stood up walking over, he placed the scroll in front of the mailbox and did a hand sign as it faded into the ground before moving next to me "this will alert me if someone steps on it"

I smiled "nice idea"

"Only issue as it could be the mailman"

Making me giggle "ah better then nothing"

"We can go talk to these men now" he grabbed the envelopes and checked out their address.

We found our way to a second civilian as we walked up to his small home, this is the one who wrote the long personal note and I was nervous about facing him. Knocking a man opened the door looking sad and worn down, somewhere in his forties.

"Hi, I am Ava" I stuck my hand out to shake as he lightly grabbed it startled "I am sorry but I need to talk to you about a women called Yasuko"

He looked scared "Did something happen to her?" I shook my head no and he breathed out.

Hayashi stepped closer "may we come inside?" He looked worried but opened his door to us, inside was a bit of a mess but he held many object's inside that looked kind of expensive for this small home, making me wonder if this was a reason he was picked, a lonely man with expensive things.

We told him he might be being scammed and asked some questions as he looked like he might cry, I slid over and wrapped my arm around him, startling the guy and I moved to let go before he seemed to like it.

He has wrote her for over two months, never being able to meet and she did passively ask for money before he sent her some of his stash to sell, like before when he asked to meet it would either take a while for her to respond or she was just leaving. The fastest the mail has come back was just over 24 hours as she lives in town.

I said sorry about the news and he looked so sad it broke my heart.

Moving onto the next man, we stopped by his address but he was not home, heightening my nose I sniffed his smell and followed it through town like a dog, Hayashi just had lame dog puns the whole time we walked.

"Don't sniff my butt" "Please fur-give me for these jokes" "Remain paws-itive we will catch this guy"

I followed him to I guess his work in the grocery store, walking in the cold freezer isle I found him stacking new food. He was around late thirty's and very attractive, nice brown hair into a ponytail.

We chatted the same way before he looked around worried and made us follow into the back room where a small table and tons of paper work sat.

Finding out he owned this place made sense as the only grocery store here I bet he is loaded.

He seemed sad but not as sad as the other, he almost seems like he can get anyone he wants he was just brought in by the perfect women, this one had sent her a lot of money for all the charitys she was 'working' on. I handed his money back that I opened in the mail and apologized for the break of privacy but he just stared at it and seemed almost fine with it.

"She said she loves to go to the hot springs in a nearby town as it was more empty then this one and how she was always found eating ramen" He looked at us "if that helps"

I just nodded unsure if it does before we left as there was one more man, the one that was left inside the home but seems to not have a new message for her.

We found this one in an amazingly sized home, standing outside I could see kids in the back yard with some women as a person sat inside, sharing a look with Hayashi, this one has a family.

"I thought the men here were better" I sighed as he gave me a strange look.

I knocked as only he would hear it, he slowly moved to us.

There standing in the doorway was a well dressed man in his early thirty's.

"Hi" I spoke softly "I need to speak to you about Yasuko"

His eye widened and looked behind him quickly.

"We can talk elsewhere" I said but I was slightly angry at this guy but then again I am sure he never met her, it may be cheating of the heart even if nothing really happened but it was not my place to call him out, you never know with catfishes, if they know your buttons they can pull apart any strong relationship with fake lies.

He nodded and shut the door behind him as we followed him to an open small park where a small bench sat.

"Do you know her?" he asked looking pissed off, we shook our head no "we are looking for her as she has been scamming a few men"

He looked shocked for a second before he glowered again "she is a scammer? That makes sense" he looked at the ground as we watched him as he moved and sat down on the bench.

"She hooked me, made me send money to help her pay for her grandma before she got me talking about personal things and when I said I loved her" he looked around sighing and rubbing his head.

"She started to blackmail me" he glared at us "I tried to find her at her home where I was to send money every two weeks to her, but it looked unlivable even for a ninja that is never around" He looked up "I even waited one time for almost the whole day after I dropped it off but she never came, I had to go to the bathroom and when I came back it was gone"

"When did this start?" Hayashi asked.

"Around five months ago, I found a secret love note in my mail and" he looked embarrassed "replied in thanks and curiosity and it just started from there" he looked towards his home "I love my wife" before he looked scared "please don't tell her"

We just nodded "when was the last time you paid her?" I asked.

"About a little over a week, it is due in five days" I nodded sad, I don't want to, let alone probably can't, stakeout for five days as this is not a real mission.

We said our thanks and moved on, standing in the middle of town unsure what to do now, at least the men all now know.

"So this lady or man" I said Hayashi looked at me shocked like he did not even think it was a man "knows these people and this place well and I don't think it is a real ninja, just a good con artist"

He nodded "ya this one has time on her hands to find out what these men like"

I looked at the sky and slid my hands in my pockets "want to eat or do something?" as I looked at him and he nodded as we turned to walk away, waiting for his scroll to send him a message.

"How about continuing on with my shopping" he yawned "I still need some things"

I laughed "wow you really dropped everything to help me huh"

He smiled and rubbed the top of my head "it sounded fun"

"Ya, it is definitely interesting" I made a face and looked up at him as I paused "what am I to do when we find this person?"

He stopped "I don't know, jail is for strong ninja's not civilians"

"Maybe we can post a picture and a warning on some poles or something, make this con artist real famous"

He nodded, "that is a good idea"

We were headed for food when he paused and looked up "Someone set off the trap" he looked at me as we got serious and ran as fast as we could.

I boosted my nose before we landed there, he walked over and checked the mail as I jumped on the roof looking for a person, sadly there was few elderly and a group of teens, no single person and without knowing this persons smell I had no idea what one I should be following as I could smell many people in the area.

"It is gone" he yelled, the person ran off with Tama's love letter and my perfume without trying it.

He landed next to me "not sure what to do now"

I just sighed "ya, they did not spray it"

"The man wanted information, maybe this is enough, we can make some warning posters for a scammer that gets you through the mail and let this go" He smiled at me, trying to make me feel better.

I nodded sadly "ya, at least we got some truth that his women is not real"

We headed back to find the two men that started this whole thing, we found him sitting on his decently sized home's front steps.

"There you are, I did not want to move, did you find her?" He asked, still hope in his eyes this was not fake.

I looked at him sadly "not personally but I hate to tell you it is a scammer and has scammed a few more men in the area"

His head dropped "ya" he sighed "figures"

There was a few places to put news up in this town as Hayashi, Tama and I put up warnings, he wanted to help out, after he got over the sadness he was so angry but I don't blame him.

It was close to dinner time as we parted ways and I moved to walk by the ramen place as it was mentioned, deciding to eat some I sat down with a yawn.

He turned to make my meal with a smile.

"Hey, do you get a person here a lot that may read mail or use money from a mail package?"

He looked up with his back to me seemingly in thought "there is this very beautiful women that reads letters and orders Shoyu, she comes here at least once a week"

I was startled, that can't be who I am looking for, why would a pretty women catfish as she would have all the ability's in person to make men do what she wants.

"Has she been here recently?" He turned and put my bowl in front of me and I gave the normal thank you.

"Not this week yet"

I nodded again as I ate and let it go.

I was almost done when he made a noise as he washed some dishes and I peeked behind me, there was a women in the cutest dress her brown hair was shoulder length and very wavy, she was not a ninja.

She went to sit down and ordered some Shiyo ramen with an award winning smile as she asked how he was doing and he looked at her so happy as he lightly chatted as he cooked.

I asked for a second bowl, I was not hungry anymore but I needed to hang around as I peered at her from the edge of my eyes, she was beautiful. She gave me a friendly smile and just leaned on the counter and talked to him like he was everything in the world and he ate it up.

She got her meal and started to eat when she pulled out some mail as I watched from the side carefully and she started to read.

I slowly sipped on my food, it can't be her.

When she pulled out my perfume making me choke on my food, "are you alright?" she asked kindly and I nodded catching my breath and she went to squirt it.

"I would not do that" she looked at me confused "that was from me and it smells bad" I gave her a fake smile.

She stared at me scared as her eyes landed on my weapons pouch, she moved like she was about to run and I made a noise to make her stop making her glare at me "what are you going to do with me you ninja trash"

"whoa" her mood was so different "well first you will pay him" as I pointed to the cook and she rolled her eyes "but I want to know why the mail when you can do it person" she put the change on the counter and gave me a look like I was strange before her mood changed again and she tried to flirt with me thinking that might let her go.

She glared when I just smirked at her "It is easy and makes more men pay me without hinting on a kiss"

I decided to take her to the Hoakge as I don't even know what to do, she walked beside me growing more nervous.

"Why here?" I asked as this place is filled with ninja.

"Well people are more trusting and it gave a good excuse" I nodded "taking money from desperate guys is what I am good at" she mumbled as she looked away "who got a ninja on me, that stupid idiot with the wife?"

I smiled "no Tama"

She looked shocked "really?" she looked away "I liked him"

I almost stopped heading the way we moved as I kind of liked her unsure what will happen but I really don't know what to do as setting her free might be just as wrong.

We walked in and Tsuande was interested in the set up I took down, the women was so nervous being in front of a powerful ninja that other ninja's are scared of, I know how scary it is having no power and seeing theirs

I kind of liked her so when she was to be free we were both kind of happy, she liked my warning posters and there will be a picture drawn and posted for a warning to everyone in the village.

"If you are caught again next time I wont be so forgiving" Tsunade smiled at her "you will have to deal with everyone you ripped off staying in the village"

I walked her out as she looked relived but scared, They treat Ninja's and civilians so much different.

"Can I go meet Tama?" She asked quietly.

"Why?"

"I liked him, he was, cool"

"He did want to meet you" I stared at her before I nodded and and we headed to his place.

Walking up him and his friend were inside as she moved and knocked before backing up.

He opened the door and looked at me startled before his eyes landed on her and he stared at her, she gave a small wave "Tama" he just stayed staring at her face "I regret messing with you" His friends head poked around the door as he peered at her with so much shock she was real.

"you, you, you" Tama stuttered.

"I know I was not honest with you and all but I wanted to say I thought you were cool, the only man I scammed I actually liked" she gave her fake ass smile making me nudge her and she glared at me before sighing "I may not stay in town as I will be known but I needed to say that to you and for whatever reason you got a ninja to find me I am sorry" she actually sounded sincere.

"Don't leave" he squeaked out making me smile as I watched them "I know you are not who you said you are but I would like to get to know you"

She gave a small smile "well you are loaded" she joked "I don't come cheep" that made me giggle and the friend make a strange noise from behind him.

"I would be fine with that" he smiled at her.

This is kind of a cute story.

Well I was done here.

I slid my hands in my pockets as I turned away and just walked off.
