Guys... I cought a cold... Sad, but now I have time to write a bit. Since you had to wait so long for the last chapter, this is a slightly shorter one, but I want to let you know, that I'm actually very motivated to write on the story and I'm already sitting on the next one! Hope you'll enjoy this one ^^

It's been a few days since Tayuya agreed to accompany Yato under reserve. She started to get used to the odd living habits as a dropout. Yesterday they took a trip to visit the near Shizugakure to buy new clothes for her, since her old onces were holey and battered. She wasn't fine with Yato paying for her, but she had no choice except for walking around with the same rest of a potato-sack. They spend a nice day with shopping, having a nice dinner in a restaurant, lying in a small park to bathe in the sun, bitched about people in some funny ways. She started get comfortable around him, though she still fight the feeling and wouldn't admit it.

They've been roaming through the forests near Konoha for four days now and Tayuya started to get fretful. „Maaaaaan, I'm getting boared!", she whined

„Sssh!", Yato gestured.

„How about finally taking on some Nukenins?"

„Sssh!", Yato tried to focus.

„Hey! Don't you dare sssh-ing me!", Yato didn't give a comment. He bowed his knees, closed his eyes and focused some chakra in his hands. „Heck are you-"

„Kazemippei - open!", he shouted, pushing his right arm forward, sending a wave of chakra into seemingly nothing. His cast started to reveal a huge compound in front of them. It looked like a big indoor sports ground. The walls had applications of bamboo. The window-frames were out of gold. From where the roof began, the wall started to get blue stabilizers. In front of the „house" was a middle-sized pond. In it were some Kois and some golden salmons. It had a water-seesaw out of bamboo which clacks sometimes. A strange looking man opened to sliding door. He wore a black beanie, which couldn't hide his orange hairline. A white type of uniform with golden seams and buttons and a white kind of pantaloons. The strange mans eyes where closed, as he slowly and loudly breaths in and out. After the bit of air came out of his nose, he instantly opens his eyes and dashed forward, giving Yato a kick into his stomach. „Oof!", he sighed. The strange was so fast and Yato wasn't expecting to get attacked. While Yato was still flying due to the kicks impact, the man landed where the young Ganan was standing before and in a rotary motion sending out the next kick, this time addressed to Tayuya. Because of the assault on Yato before, she was prepared a bit more and could manage to lift her arms to block. But the mans blow was so strong, that she couldn't hold her feet either.

„Aiaiai! You're revealing a secret place, invide my private space and interrupt my noon rest! And you still think no one is going to be mad at you? That's pretty naive, Gakis, don't you think?", he strokes his non-existing goat beard. Yato still felt a bit dizzy.

„I hoped, that you can teach me and my companion your special style of Taijutsu.", he asked.

„Yes, of cause. How about I make you some tea, cook for you and invite you to my parents?!", the man asked ironically.

„Well for it would be enough if you teach me some Taijutsu. I'd leave it at that!", Yato answered slightly caught, but ironically too. The man moves in front of the up getting young boy.

„Oh, a jokestar, huh? You think this is a joke? You think I'm a joke, hm?", the ground-owner asked with a rising aggressivity.

„I didn't mean it! You are Kagame Atsuka, you're a legend!", the boy excused.

„Nawr, now you're flattering me!", he said with a fake blush and some „gay" looking moves. Suddenly a bough flew in Kagames direction. He realized it just in time, to move back his head a bit. But it still was to late and it it cuts the tip of his nose bone.

„Who ever you are, no ones treats me like that!"

„She's got a temper! I like your girlfriend.", Kagame said, turning to Yato, showing him a teethy grin. Tayuya now starts to boil with rage, her head turning into a unhealthy shade of red and stomped to Kagame. He reached out his arm to hold her head. Tayuya is not trying to fight him seriously. She more or less accepts, that the man has longer arms, so she just wildly swung around her arms, repeatedly growling:

„I'm gonna kill him! I'm gonna kill him! I'm gonna kill him!", Kagame let out a hearty laugh and even Yato had to smile „I'm gonna kill him! I'm gonna kill him!"

„Bisut serious aside…", the Atsuka added „… before I will teach you, you'll have to do something to earn it!"

„I'm ready, whatever it his!", Yato retorted, balling his fist in readiness and ambition.

„A very special type S-mission!" Kagame raised his gaze, sharpening his lips.

„Whatever it might be, I'll crush it!", Yato answered, the fire visible in his eyes.

Whatever? Type S? Tayuya thought a little frightful.

„You. Have. To…", Kagame made a dramaturgical pause, „find my secret training ground!", he pointed in it's direction.

Yatos and Tayuyas faces turned into a '-_- -expression. Tayuyas face becoming furiously red again: „I'm gonna kill him, I'm gonna kill him, I'm gonna kill him!", Kagame couldn't hold back his laughter.

xXx

Meantime it's evening. The sky over the forests of the hidden Leaves started to get darker. Kagame had shown around the two wanderers in his compound. All of the three were sitting on the balcony of the first floor, having some jasmine tea. „So gakis, tell me something about you, ladies first!", Kagame suggested.

„Well, I'm Tayuya and I'm honestly not knowing what I'm doing here…", she answered.

„Hahaha! You're too funny. But seriously, I have to know what I'm getting into, so…", the master swung his arm to signal, that she should start her telling again.

„Heh…", she sighed, „My name is Tayuya, I don't know my last anymore and all memories I've got from my past live are either very, very blurry or totally wiped out, thanks to Orochimaru-sama…", Yato had to bite his teeth, since she still called such a abominably person Sama, „… my special style of fighting is casting genjutsu with my Mateki, that used to be longer than it is now." Although Kagame was kind of shocked, that she was a former Orochimaru slave, he let her finish speaking. He conveniently nodded.

„And what about you?", Kagame asked in Yatos direction.

„My name is Yato Ganan…", Kagames mind got immediately filled with a mixture of astonishment, skepticism or more likely disbelief and doubt, „… I'm from Konoha, the Hidden Leaf Village. My parents died, when they were trying to tame the Kurama. The only family I have right now is my grandma, she still lives in Komoha, but I'm not able to see her, since I got banished for a special Dōjutsu. The hole process though was pretty shady to me."

Is this even possible? The rumors are, that all feudal-orders got extinguished. Is he a real Ganan? „How old are you, Gakis?"

„I'm fourteen.", the red-haired kunoichi quickly responded.

„Sixteen.", Yato followed.

„Ok, so how about you two show me how good your Taijutsu is so far?", Kagame asked both of them.

„I'm ready!", the Ganan answered.

„Well… uhm…", Tayuya stuttered. She was aware of the fact, that her Taijutsu is very bad.

„Perfect!", the teacher shouted, cutting Tayuyas answer. „Tomorrow at the time of five o'clock in the early morning, you'll have to prove yourselves worthy of taking my class!"

„FIVE O'CLOCK?!", Tayuya asked shocked.

„Yes, five! I'll let you two sleep longer, for about an hour. So you shouldn't be too tired.", Kagame said with a malicious smile on his face.

Man, this fucker will cost almost all my nerves. What did I get into? Tayuya whined in her thoughts.

Seems like Tayuya is already having fun here ;D
