Chapter 12

You know, life is staring to get domestic. She was lying on the floor studying her notes while Kakashi was ignoring her with a book on his hands.

"Kakashi's hair is ugly" Eye twitch. "Ah, aah, Kakashi's hair is white. Hmm." He wasn't so bad to be around. For some reason the only time he spoke at her more than a command was at last night's dinner. He was insistent on making her eat vegetables and that wasn't going to happen any time soon so she ended up eating to the sofa holding her plate in the air and ignoring him as he ignored her. Roommates, am I right?

"Come with me." She looked at him. He looked bored.

She turned back to her book "Where is Pakkun?"

"Pakkun is busy" Pakkun is busy, she repeated and nodded, saying that she understood. She got up, what would she gain by delaying? It's not like she had anything else to do.

Once she had her emotional support arm they left the house in a steady pace. She doubted they were just taking a stroll around the park but she was actually pleasantly surprised to find herself in the same spot as the day before with the same kids "Kakashi-sensei, YOU'RE LATE!"

They took a second to realize that she was there as well. Three pair of eyes turned to her, she smiled shy and said "Hi." The blond kid sounded very impressed, she could tell he was encouraging her to say something else, but she didn't know what exactly. "I don't understand, sorry."

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki and I'm going to be HOKAGE" Oh, her name and stuff. It was kind of obvious. That was alright she had already chosen one.

"My name is Arabella." Kid was pretty nice. Pretty damn loud too, she didn't understand much after that. "Sakura-chan introduce yourself!"

"DON'T CALL ME SAKURA-CHAN NARUTO-BAKA! I'm Sakura, nice to meet you."

"Nice too meet you, Sakura" She hoped that meant what she thought that meant. She ignored her screams to Naruto, hopefully she wouldn't get yelled at. The third kid didn't even look at her, so she didn't make any approach to him. He looked annoying.

She looked at Kakashi, still holding his arm, as he tried to sooth them, they shouted back to him causing her to wince. This was noticed and the pink haired girl reprimanded Naruto, the blond kid. She wanted to tell her that it was alright but she didn't want to get yelled kid looked terrible, she had to do something. So she did the most awkward thing, she petted his hair and smiled at them. That seemed to do the trick for a second before the blond literally screamed " NEE-CHAN!"

Sister? Huh, go ahead kid. She had no idea what was going on.

"I read, bye." Kakashi didn't stop her, he was busy with too many kids questioning him. She was pretty sure the questions were about her but she didn't care to answer, it's Mask Man's problem now.

She sat in the shadow of a tree and read her notes on grammar, she also had some new vocabulary. The Izuma-sensei has given her new (and probably handmade) notes on basic conversation. Since the kids grow up with the language they don't really need to know how to say thank or sorry. She was really interested in learning, if her parents have beaten anything into her skull it was good manners. She had thanked him immediately after knowing how to say it.

She memorized the lines of the kanji by tracing them on her leg and sometimes said them aloud to remember how they're pronounced. She realized that the kids were running around the training grounds commanded by Kakashi. The realization that Kakashi was really their teacher hit her. Hmm? He didn't seem the type.The sensei part was kinda obvious.

Looking closer she could see a sadistic tint in his actions, she watched the kids, the black head and Naruto were screaming at each other rather loudly. She turned a page on her notebook. None of her business, she was just glad that she didn't really have to deal with them.

She focused in the lines of the new Kanji, verbs ugh. Apparently they had a polite way of saying everything, a formal tone and an informal tone. The catch is that there is also a negative for every tense, and they're all different. She had only present tense written down in every form and it caused her a headache.

At least the vocabulary was relatively easy, animals, cause she could speak to them, and some adjectives. Nice, easy, cute, cool, sweet… it was vocabulary for little kids. What did you expect?

At some point a couple squirrels ran down the tree and began to play with her hair and clothes. She couldn't remember who they were, but she had already introduced herself to them. Birds also liked to sit in her lap and pretend it's their own nest, especially the young ones. She lost count after the fourth bird.

There was a bunch of ninja stuff going on in the field and she was kind of impressed to see a lot of Narutos running around and disappearing in smoke a Kakashi kicked them. She hated to admit it but it looked incredibly cool, Kakashi really was a trained shinobi. Maybe it wasn't so embarrassing to have been caught by him, she watched as he moved expertly through the field.

The black haired kid joined them and she wasn't so sure anymore who was attacking who, orange and black moved back and forward meeting with a chink. She watched Kakashi step out of the fight silently and let them fight each other. Sakura walked to his side, looking disturbed, but Mask Man ignored her and waved lazily to her direction. She couldn't help the smirk as she waved back. The pink girl didn't wave, her loss.

Apparently the kids had realized they weren't fighting Kakashi but each other, they screamed and began fighting again. Kids. With weapons. Kids with weapons.

She went back to her book, again, annoying children are none of her business.

She was startled when the animals around her freaked out, the squirrels ran back to the tree and the birds flew away in a cloud of feathers around her. The kid looked at her visibly surprised but said nothing as he looked away and pouted.

She turned her head and watched the blond kid in the other side of the grounds sitting down on his own. So they were grounded. She contained a laugh.

The kid seemed to realize and huffed. He ignored her, pouting. That was kind of cute for an annoying brat who wouldn't even say his name. She faked reading, turning a page slowly and as loud as you can possibly turn a page. By the third one his eye twitched. He turned to look at her.

She kept her eyes innocently on the book for a second before licking her thumb and moving her hand towards the page. Tch. She barely suppressed the smile on her face, he was annoyed enough to acknowledge her, hah. Take that for not introducing yourself, bitch, she could be mildly annoying for hours.

She looked at him and lowered her hand. He held her stare for a very long time, she was pretty sure that after thirty seconds it was considered a stare off. She wasn't going to lose. But that page was getting boring, maybe she should pass it…

"Stop" She smiled at the kid who talked for the first time. She looked away this time.

"Hai, hai." She had finished memorizing a long time ago and she was just bored. Kakashi seemed to be chatting happily with Sakura ignoring Naruto who was shouting. She laughed a little. This was a chaos, it was worse than the Academy.

"Dobe…"

He looked like he had just been caught petting puppies instead of kicking them. She doubted it was a compliment but there was a fondness in his voice. She shot him a knowing smile and echoed him."Dobeee." She didn't know if she could do a better impression of a lovesick girl. But she could try " Oh, dobe."She said, dramatically resting her head on her forehead. , he didn't like that. She giggled a little. "Sorry…" She giggled a little more. Oh, he was so irritated, it was cute. "That's cute"

He looked shaken and blushed as she focused back onto her book and reread the grammar rules and the list of verbs she had. Hmm. Maybe she should do a page of verbs in every tense she knew? She only knew present and negative present, but in the future that could be useful.

The kid kept looking at her in disbelief, he looked insulted. She closed her notebook and put it on her lap before starting to do hand seals. "Ox" She muttered to herself… "Bird, serpent-"

"Wrong" She looked at the kid. Well, if it isn't rude little shit number 2, named after his teacher. He looked away and attempted to ignore her. If only that were possible, boy.

"How?" She asked him. What could she lose anyway, she had to tag along in babysitting duty because her own babysitter was busy. She didn't have much dignity left after the Academy training anyways.

She was actually pleasantly surprised as the rude little shit showed her the hand seals but didn't attempt to look at her general direction. So much for Little Shit-sensei. "I good?"

"Hn"

Well look at this fucking kid. This motherfucking brat. Does it cost you so much to look at me? Thank you. " Ram… Hare, Rat-"

"No, rat." He showed the formation again, slower. Ah, he wasn't so bad."Hn"

"Thanks..." She smiled at him,"Arabella."

"…Sasuke."

After a while of chilling in silence Kakashi calls Sasuke back to training.

She's bored out of her mind so she begins meditate immediately. It's going to be torture because she's just memorizing stuff from her own memories, she's bored inside of her mind…

When she gets sick of studying she does the taijutsu stances she's been taught and redoes the hand seals Sasuke taught her until her hands hurt and her fingers aren't as sloppy. She could do the twelve hand seals instantly and she felt simultaneously really cool and really dumb, 'cause they didn't become jutsus so she was just doing dumb looking jazz hands.

She practiced her taijutsu until it became a reflex, she hadn't been taught much anyways but she used the other kid's taijutsu as a model. Looking at her memories while practicing was the equivalent of having a tutor, it was super useful. She didn't even get tired, it was inside her mind after all. The only problem was that she didn't grow any muscles because it didn't count as exercise. She wasn't moving her muscles, her mind thought she was.

The easy solution was exercising right after that, but when she woke up, muscles stiff and sore throat from breathing through her mouth, the kids were done training and Kakashi was coming her way.

"Let's go Arabella-chan."

He won that one.

Omake(Extra)

This was getting ridiculous, you know. She can pass the follow me, walk, move, eat, even that fucking time he just said speak in front of the fucking Hokage. This shit pisses her off.

Listen, so they get to the shogi kid's place, like usual, to play the game. And this time she's actually excited because she can introduce herself. So she gets there and she's been bossed around, like, to the extreme for the whole day. He doesn't even say hi to her, not even good morning, just orders. So this fucking time she was nearly fuming from frustration.

They get to the place, but the kid isn't there yet just his father… wasn't he in the room with the Hokage that time with the ducks? Well damn, that's embarrassing. "Hi" She said shyly, probably blushing. "My name is Arabella." He didn't so much as smirk but she could see the amusement in his eyes.

"Hello, I'm Shikaku"

She put her hands in her pockets and took them out "No ducks."

He was fully smirking now. "Good, no ducks."

She didn't say anything else after that. Shikaku, however, continued to talk to Kakashi faster and with much more complex words. She wasn't catching a thing. After a good ten minutes, the kid appeared, looking simultaneously tired and bored.

"Come here" Who the fuck did he think she was. This was fucking humiliating and she wished she knew how to say something meaner that you're not nice. "Sit"

"Woof woof" The kid looked at her in bewilderment and Shikaku was just shocked. Currently, Kakashi and she were having a stare off, really intense one, if you asked her. He was intimidating, so much she started to hold her breath but kept her eyes glued to his. The moment Shikaku chortled the atmosphere shifted and she found herself holding a laugh. She put her hands up as if saying I surrender and sat down to play with the kid.

She fucking lost three times before they left but she didn't mind.

A/N

Hi, this is my first time writing a story so I'm kind of new to the whole thing about being an author haha. Also english isn't my first language so point out anything that doesn't make sense.

I wanted to explain that Arabella didn't know the language because her family avoided the five nations along with everything ninja, it will be explained better in the future. I hope it isn't too complicated, the story has barely begun.

I also made the choice to write the whole conversation around her because the story felt flat without the dialogue and if she didn't understand a lot of things it disrupted dlow of the story, I hope it was the right one.

Thank you for reading! Make sure to leave a like or I comment I really apreciate them!
