Chapter 02
Encounter Under The Rain
~*~*~
It was still the same semi sunny day when Haruno Sakura, Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke (Ohhh yes, Uchiha Sasuke...), have decided to set their favorite teacher, Hatake Kakashi up with "the woman of his dreams". As Sasuke walked down the dusty, tanned street heading to where he thought Sakura and Naruto were waiting for him (Ichiraku). He thought back to the events to the day that had passed. He winced at the "Chibi Uchiha" nickname that his sensei had given him, hoping it wouldn't be heard again....Somewhat, he doubted that.
"Sasuke-kun!!"
"Hey! Sasuke!!"
Two voices called to him from inside the Noodle Bar. Sasuke sat down, elbows on the table, hands cuffed and eyes shut. He sighed then explained to them what Kakashi had answered.
After, Sakura rubbed her chin in thought. This made it quite easy, yet also hard at the same time to find the perfect girl for Kakashi. She thought about all the girls that she knew and soon became frustrated.
"Rrrrgh...All the girls I know are too young for him, and the only one who isn't, Kurenai, is I think taken!"
"Kurenai-sensei's taken?" Naruto's head tilted slightly.
"Yeah..I kinda saw her with Asuma-sensei a few days ago....That's what kind of gave me the idea for Kakashi-sensei's birthday gift." The pink haired girl sweatdropped.
Just then, Sasuke remembered something... "You two owe me."
Naruto and Sakura paused. "Ohh yeahh.." Naruto thought back.
"Yes, that's right and-"
"We'll have to give you an IOU, Sasuke-kun! I'm sorry, but right now, we have to now find the right girl for Kakashi-sensei."
Sasuke glared at the both of them, but quickly made a face of approval which clearly said, 'Fine, but you'll have to pay me back soon or else.' This made Sakura and Naruto laugh nervously.
"I think he knows," Sasuke suddenly said. His teammates blinked.
"W-what do you mean??" Sakura stuttered.
"I guess, I wasn't so sure, so I watched from a far, with Kakashi-sensei still in my site," The dark haired boy took a breath, "Not too long after I left, Iruka-sensei arrived and I could tell by their faces that they were talking about our plan."
Sakura looked devistated, and Naruto groaned a bit. "Ugh! No! They know!"
"I wasn't done," Sasuke interrupted the kunoich, glaring at her. Sakura gulped and told him to continue. "I moved in closer, without letting them sense me, and they were talking about a plan on how to backfire ours."
"NOOOO! That's even worse!! Now I don't know what we'll do!" Sakura dug her face into her arms, she seemed put down, but wasn't even near giving up just yet! Naruto patted her on the back.
"Well, Sakura-chan, m-maybe..um..we could try to backfire their plan of trying to backfire our plan, you know?" The girl's head popped up from the depths of her arms, amazed at Naruto's sudden, little too sudden, plan. She hugged him quickly, then gently pushed away, shining happily. Soon, the three became serious and started to talk amongst each other. Not too long from then, they'd know exactly who they thought should be with their teacher.
~*~
Kakashi had decided to take a walk instead of stay on his roof the whole day. In his mind, he was thinking about how he had already thought up a way to make his students' plan go a little off track...
'I could pretend to already like a woman...And they'll see me with her and stop trying to set me up. Not that I mind being set up....Then when my birthday comes, I'll just say to them that she was just a friend, and...I can see their little faces getting angry at me because they think that I was already with that girl...' Kakashi sweatdropped, but liked the thought of it.
Oh man was it going to be good, he thought, quite evilly. A gust of warm wind blew past Kakashi as he walked down the dusty path. The elite looked above him and the clouds had unoticable turned grey. It was really cloudy too, and every once in a while, a raindrop or two would fall. He figured that he'd head back before the rain started to become heavy. It was sunny earlier...What a quick change of weather. Luckily, he had brought a small, one person umbrella with him just in case. Just when Kakashi was a few feet away from his house, it was already pouring as if a there was a faucet over the village. Kakashi sighed a pulled a hand out into the rain. Drop after drop, his hand became soaked, but before the elite could look up to where he was going, he had bumped into something...Or someone.
"Ah, I'm sorry. I should've....O-Oi!" The person didn't seem to be conscious and right after clashing into Kakashi, it had began to loose balance and fall. Luckily, Kakashi caught that person, and held him up to see who it was. It was nobody he knew, it was girl. She looked about 19, with light skin and long, dark brown hair which at the moment hung down like a wet thin cloth. She also had her head protector over her eyes.
'It must've slipped over them in the rain...' Kakashi thought, putting away the umbrella so he could carry the drenched woman with both arms. It was only a few feet to his doorstep anyway. When he was under his roof and had shut the door, he glanced down at the unconscious woman in his arms.
'Maybe she can be the girl for my plan...' Before he could wonder anymore, he felt that it started to get cold in his home, so he began to dry up...
~*~
After a long, tiresome night of watching over the mysterious woman who he had bumped into the other day, Kakashi had fallen asleep on the chair he was sitting in, next to his bed, where the anonymous woman slept. After bringing her in yesterday, Kakashi had taken her jacket off. It was a good thing the rest of her clothes(which were just a shortsleeve shirt that had a top like a kimono, and your average pants) weren't too wet, and it was only her jacket and head that were completely drenched. He had placed her in his bed, and dried her face and hair up. He took off her head protector, which had a Konoha Leaf on it, and revealed her closed eyes, which were soundly asleep.
While Kakashi sat, asleep in his chair, the woman slowly opened her eyes. She saw a light glare from the window, since it was sunny, and darkness from the other end of the room, no imparticular things really, because she was blind.
Suddenly realizing and feeling that she was somewhere unfamiliar to her, she felt around her, and on herself.
'M-my head protector is gone....My jacket's off...' Just then, she heard a light snore. 'Eep! Someone's there!!' She whipped her hands in the direction of Kakashi, her hand speeding for his cheek for a light hit, but was caught by the elite's hand.
"So...You're awake," Kakashi spoke, scaring the woman a little by his deep voice.
"Ah...Um...Where am I? Who are you?" The brown haired girl tried to brush away her uneasiness. Kakashi could tell she was uncomfortable, smiled, then sweatdropped.
"Heheh, sorry. I'm Hatake Kakashi. I...bumped into you yesterday in the rain. So who are YOU?" The mystery girl grasped the bed sheets in response.
"My name is Kigakari Miru...Ano...Thank you for taking me in yesterday."
It wasn't until now that Kakashi had actually looked at her eyes. They were somewhat...Blank. Not like Hyuuga eyes blank, but, blank as in, you could tell that the person was blind. So from that, Kakashi figured everything out.
'She was probably taking a walk, and it started to rain. Blind kunoich use their other senses to move around and when something else is there to wane those senses down, then they become weak. In Kigakari-san's case, it was rain. She heard the rain fall, felt the rain drops, and smelled the mist, so she couldn't smell, hear or feel anything else like usual, so she became weak....'
"Hatake-san-"
"Kakashi."
"Uh...Kakashi-san," Miru started, after feeling around for her head protector and tying it on over her eyes. Kakashi felt a small tug on his green overjacket. [A/N: I know they call those green jackets something...Flak jackets? If you know, please tell me! ^^; Thanks!] "....Are you a jounin teacher?"
The scarecrow repsonded, a bit surprised with her touching his jacket. "Yes, why?"
"Don't you have training with your students?"
Kakashi moved his head. "No, not for a while." Just then he remembered if his students remembered that.
'No...Sasuke would remember....I don't know is the other two are sure....'
~*~
Suddenly, a loud, young boy's voice rang through Kakashi's place.
"KAKASHI-SENSEEEEIIIIII!!!'
'Naruto....' The elite sighed, got up, stretched and went to answer the door. Before walking out of sight for Miru, he stopped in his tracks.
"You can get up and get something to eat if your hungry or something. Make yourself feel at home." Then he walked to the doorway. Miru giggled at his students. She thought they were cute just by hearing them just shout into their teacher's house. Then she remembered what Kakashi had said and realized she was a bit hungry, so she stood up...
'I'm in my yesterday clothes...I hope he deosn't mind if I take a quick shower.' She thought.
Miru looked through his stuff neatly for a towel. She felt so rude for doing this, so she did it quickly and finally found a what she was looking for. She also grabbed a clean black shirt and grey pants from Kakashi's drawers....They were really big, but there was nothing else. She blushed, feeling like a robber (even thought she was only borrowing his clothes), and feeling ever so rude for going through his stuff. Atleast she left the place looking neat, and swiftly moved into the bathroom to take a quick shower.
~*~
Kakashi had let Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke in and sat them down at his table. He was surprised Sasuke was there though.... Oh well. He explained how they wouldn't have missions or training for a while unless the Hokage really realy needed them for something. Just then, the sound a water running through the pipes caused silence amongst the three students and their teacher.
"Eh? Kakashi-sensei, do you have a friend over using your shower?" Naruto asked.
Kakashi's sweatdropped, "No, no, just someone I bumped into yesterday,"
The elite felt that it was time to start his plan to backfire theirs. An unseen grin tugged at Kakashi's lips. Sakura looked at her teacher while he thought ever so evilly. She then went wide eyed.
"YOU BUMPED INTO A WOMAN, DIDN'T YOU?!"
The pink haired girl's yell interrupted the scarecrow's thoughts. Kakashi turned to her and smiled.
"Sure, you can say that. She was unconscious so I took her in."
Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke gave him a look that said, 'You did do anything weird did you, you sicko.' Kakashi noticed their faces and rubbed the back of his head nervously. Soon, the water stopped running and a long silence followed. Nobody talked. Nobody wanted to talk. Just then, the door to Kakashi's room opened slowly. There, in an oversized black shirt, sagging pants, forehead protector over eyes, and long, long half dry hair, stood Miru. She sensed tension in the air and felt the prescence of four people. There was the familiar prescence of Kakashi, but the other three were anonymous to her. She walked up to them slowly and decided to introduce herself, but before she could speak, Kakashi spoke instead.
"Kigakari-san-"
"Miru."
"Oh...Okay, well, Miru, these three are my lovable little students," Kakashi helped Miru out a little by waving his hands towards them as he said their names.
"Our chakra expert, Haruno Sakura, our chibi Uchiha, Uchiha Sasuke, and our determined-to-be-hokage, Uzumaki Naruto. You three, this is Kigakari Miru."
The blind girl froze. She didn't know Kakashi taught the only survivor of the Uchiha clan, AND the boy who was sealed with the Kyuubi...At first she was a bit afraid to say anything, but it wasn't too long until she gathered herself together to answer back. (It only took about 10 seconds for her to reply, actually. xD)
"Nice to meet you! Ano...M-may I...?" After seeing nothing but 'stare' on their faces, Miru proceeded with her special jutsu. As she slowly and gently postioned her hands infront of the faces of the three ninjas, Kakashi knew exactly what she was going to do. With her other hand, Miru did some seals, and once the last seal was complete, she murmured some words that were the name of the jutsu...(A/N: sorry, I don't know what I'd call that jutsu yet, cuz I made it up, but it helps her get an idea on what people pysically look like. It's not exactly an attack thing.)
Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke felt a light push on their faces as the teqnique finished. Naruto and Sakura continued staring, Sasuke "hmmphed", put his elbows on the table and closed his eyes.
"You three are so cute," A female's voice commented. Kakashi couldn't help but smile like he was their father or something. "Sorry If I did that unexpectedly...I feel so rude today. Kakashi-san, I hope you don't mind...I kind of borrowed your clothes." Kakashi examined her and realized she WAS wearing his clothes. Light crimson lifted onto his cheeks in embarrasment.
"It's okay. I said make yourself feel at home, ne?" He flashed a smile at her. Miru looked down and blushed(she could tell he was smiling at her). She started to play with her thumbs. (Kinda like what Hinata does...Okay, okay, I'll shut up.) Sakura found the the two older people a bit nervous with each other and started to suspect something. She wanted to find out how close these two were, even if they just met last night. This might ruin the plan for Kakashi's birthday party! So the pink haired girl decided to take action after Naruto had loudly introduced himself, saying he'd be the next Hokage. Miru giggled at his cuteness and told him to go for it. Naruto and her had already started to get along.
"Ano, Miru-san, may I call you that?" Miru turned to face Sakura and nodded, smiling. "Okay, well, it's really great to meet you! How old are you? 19? 20?"
"24."
Sakura, Naruto and Kakashi's faces dropped. All the Uchiha did was open his eyes to see what was going on.
"Ano, where do you live? Somewhere in Konoha?" Sakura found herself very interested in Miru. She didn't like to be interested, but she just was.
"Yeah. But it's all the way on the other side of town from here."
Everyone except for Sasuke, "Ohhhh"-ed, then sighed. Sakura then started to think somemore. She and her teammates haven't found the perfect girl for Kakashi yet, but they were still looking. Miru was a great surprise to all three of them. Okay, maybe not Sasuke, but still. If Kakashi and Miru fall for each other, then everything-!! (this narration part is suddenly what Sakura is thinking).....Everything would be perfect! But how do we make this a surprise to Kakashi-sensei? A-HAH! We'll slowly try to make Kakashi-sensei and Miru like each other, but if is sensei suspects something, we can try to make it like were still trying to set him up with ANOTHER woman instead of Miru! Kakashi-sensei still thinks he can backfire out plan? Well, THINK AGAIN!
Sakura found herself snickering evilly to herself...And everyone staring strangely. The pink haired girl blushed madly in emberrasment, got up and stuttered to speak.
"Heheh! Um, well, since we have no missions today, Kakashi-sensei...Were...Um..Going to go and hangout today! See ya!"
With that, Sakura grabbed Sasuke and Naruto and...calmly...ran out of Kakashi's house, closing the door on the way. Kakashi and Miru stared, dazed and a bit confused.
'What is Sakura up to?' Kakashi thought, rubbing his chin. Before he could think any further into the subject, Miru stretched, grabbing his attention.
"Umm....It's sunny today, and I really want to know you better, Kakashi-san!" Miru smiled. Kakashi would have to figure out what the heck was going on later.

Sakura, Naruto and Kakashi's faces dropped. All the Uchiha did was open his eyes to see what was going on.
"Ano, where do you live? Somewhere in Konoha?" Sakura found herself very interested in Miru. She didn't like to be interested, but she just was.
"Yeah. But it's all the way on the other side of town from here."
Everyone except for Sasuke, "Ohhhh"-ed, then sighed. Sakura then started to think somemore. She and her teammates haven't found the perfect girl for Kakashi yet, but they were still looking. Miru was a great surprise to all three of them. Okay, maybe not Sasuke, but still. If Kakashi and Miru fall for each other, then everything-!! (this narration part is suddenly what Sakura is thinking).....Everything would be perfect! But how do we make this a surprise to Kakashi-sensei? A-HAH! We'll slowly try to make Kakashi-sensei and Miru like each other, but if is sensei suspects something, we can try to make it like were still trying to set him up with ANOTHER woman instead of Miru! Kakashi-sensei still thinks he can backfire out plan? Well, THINK AGAIN!
Sakura found herself snickering evilly to herself...And everyone staring strangely. The pink haired girl blushed madly in emberrasment, got up and stuttered to speak.
"Heheh! Um, well, since we have no missions today, Kakashi-sensei...Were...Um..Going to go and hangout today! See ya!"
With that, Sakura grabbed Sasuke and Naruto and...calmly...ran out of Kakashi's house, closing the door on the way. Kakashi and Miru stared, dazed and a bit confused.
'What is Sakura up to?' Kakashi thought, rubbing his chin. Before he could think any further into the subject, Miru stretched, grabbing his attention.
"Umm....It's sunny today, and I really want to know you better, Kakashi-san!" Miru smiled. Kakashi would have to figure out what the heck was going on later.
Chapter 02 END
~*~
This chapter was personally hard to write because I started it, then had to stop for a while, then continued writing it, kind of not remembering how I started, then so forth and etc...But I finally got it done. I'm sorry if the end got a bit confusing. I became lazy...u_u;; I shall not become lazy again. Hopefully. It's a school night, so, gotta go! PLEASE REVIEW!!! Hope you liked Chapter 2! ^^;; Cya in 03!
