Ch3

Kakashi and Iruka decided to split up, and look, after couple of hours of searching.

"I'll meet you at my place, around 9 PM." Iruka said, running the other direction.

Kakashi scratched himself on back of his head, trying to figure out where they might be. "Hmm...I searched the main streets...wait...why would she be in the main streets?" he told himself. "They ran away because they didn't want to be seen...Wait..." Kakashi trailed off. He got a slight idea of where Mitsuki might be. She used to go to this one spot after exams and tests, to relax. He darted off to find her, as fast as he could.

After couple of minutes of running, he came to top of a hill, with 1 humongus tree. He sighed in relief as he saw a young woman sitting on the tree branch. He walked up to her.

"Hey..." Kakashi said, weakly. He didn't know what to say, he really didn't think about it.

"Hey." Was the reply.

Kakashi scratched his head once more. "Erm...this place ever changed, huh?" he asked weakly. Mitsuki didn't answer. There was a long moment of silence.

Breaking the silence, Mitsuki talked. "Remember?" she asked. "This is where I met you, first. I was here after a fight, and I was crying because I lost..."

"Oh yeah, I remember!" Kakashi said, laughing. "You were sobbing like a baby!" he said, mockingly.

Mitsuki ignored it, and kept talking. "Kakashi...I am about to do something very unforgivable..." she said.

"Like...?" he asked. Mitsuki didn't answer, but buried her face in her knees and hugged them tightly. Seeing that Mitsuki wasn't going to answer, Kakashi talked. "Well, you don't have to say it, but I just want you to come out, and go back to the hospital. And, what ever you are about to do, I think, can't be that bad." He said.

"But it is..." she mumbled, but Kakashi heard.

"Well, does it involve me?" he asked.

Mitsuki lied. "No."

"Well, then I don't see the problem." He said, shrugging. "Anyway, if you aren't going back to the hospital, then I suggest you come back to my house, and maybe Iruka found Sayaka, and are already there." He said.

Mitsuki stayed motionless. Kakashi only looked at her. She then, lifted her head. She looked like she was going to start crying any moment. "Kakashi...can I ask you something?" she asked finally.

"Sure." He said. "Go on."

"What if...what if you are on a mission and your mission was to steal something that was...that was..." she stopped. She didn't know how to explain it to him. She then finally came up with words. Kakashi watched her silently, respecting her moment. "Something that is precious to your friend?"

"Well, it depends, is it life threatening to me? If I take it?" he asked.

"If you call being hated life threatening, then yes." Mitsuki said.

"And what happens if I don't take it?" he asked getting curious.

Mitsuki sobbed. "You are going to die." She said.

"Well then, I think I would tell my friend that its life threatening to me, and maybe he'd understand." Kakashi said. "Or, I might take it while they don't see me..." he said, mockingly.

Mitsuki smiled. "Thanks. And...can I ask you another favor?" she asked.

"Sure."

"...Can you get me off this tree?"

To Iruka's search.

Iruka also had a place he thought Sayaka might be. Sayaka loved school. She thought it was fun to go to school, and talk to her friends. It was Saturday, so no one was at school, it was quite empty. He looked through every class room he passed by, but found no one. He then came to a halt at the last class room.

"Wait...this is my old class! Our class! When we were little kids!" Iruka told himself. With that, he slowly opened the door, hoping Sayaka was inside. When he opened it, he felt as if no one was in. But all changed as he walked in.

"Remember?" said a voice up by the desks.

Iruka jumped, and turned to Sayaka, who was sitting on the 2nd to last row on the left.

"This is how we met. I was sitting here, and Mitsuki was here, and Kakashi was here." She each pointed to a seat. "This is where I exactly sat, when you enrolled into our class." She said quietly.

Iruka looked at her, surprised, that she remembered all this, but soon memories flooded into him. "Yeah..." he then walked couple steps more in to the class room. "This is where I was, when I first saw you." He looked up to her.

Sayaka smiled. "Yes, Mitsuki and Kakashi was bust fighting, and I was just staring down at you, sitting right here." She said.

He chuckled. "Yeah, I remember. Kakashi and Mitsuki was quite a trouble maker, huh?" he said, slowly walking up the steps to her. (AN remember how the classrooms are elevated?)

Sayaka laughed softly. "Yeah. I remember. Last thing I remember is when Mitsuki threw Kakashi all the way across the room, because Kakashi said that she was a cry baby."

"Oh yeah, I remember." Iruka said. "He fell just around there, and Mitsuki and Kakashi after that got detention." He pointed to a wall. Soon, he reached where Sayaka was sitting. "And I sat here." He pulled a chair next to her.

"Yup. We just talked, and remember the last time when we got into trouble? We were cheating off each other?" Sayaka said.

"Yup, boy, I can remember it like yesterday, Rio-sensei yells so much...but...I was on the better side, comparing to Kakashi and Mitsuki, of course." He chuckled. Sayaka laughed, too. "Now, Sayaka. We have to go back to Kakashi's house. Maybe he found Mitsuki." He said. "Or, maybe they are both fighting somewhere." He said.

Sayaka laughed. "Maybe...but before we go, I just want to say that I'll always be your friend, okay?"

"Erm...right...right. We would always be friends!" Iruka said, quite disappointed about being "friends" only.

With that confirmed, Sayaka stood up. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go find Mitsuki." She smiled at him.

"Ritio." Iruka said, and they walked to Kakashi's house.

When they reached the house, they were met by Mitsuki and Kakashi just about to walk in.

"Wow, right on time." Kakashi said.

"Yup, this is strange." Iruka said.

Sayaka and Mitsuki gave one last look at each other, and confirmed that they were going to do this mission, but also, not to get into lots of relationship with them.

"So, when are you leaving?" Iruka asked, as they got settled in the living room.

Mitsuki and Sayaka looked at each other again. "I don't know. Maybe tomorrow." Sayaka said.

"Yeah, maybe." Mitsuki said, with a happy and sad tone of voice.

Kakashi looked over to the girls. "Well, tomorrow afternoon? Or morning?" he asked.

"Afternoon." Mitsuki answered.

"Well then!" Kakashi said, quite pleased with himself. "I found out that there was going to be a summer fest tomorrow night, and was hoping that you 2 want to go with us."

Mitsuki and Sayaka looked at each other again. "Erm..." Sayaka trailed off.

Mitsuki was having a hard time, too. "Well..."

"Come on, it'll be fun!" Iruka urged.

"Well, alright. But we are going to leave at least around 7. Then we can at least use Ninjustu to go back." Mitsuki said.

"Awesome!" Kakashi said, happily. "Now, we'll meet you 2 at the Konoha gates at 4 sharp."

"Yeah, but Kakashi, please don't be late as usual." Mitsuki said mockingly. "I hope your late thing is over by now." She looked at Kakashi, and as if reading his mind, "I guess not...but, hope that you will not be 1 hour late, because, I, myself will come over and hit you with all I got!"

Kakashi looked sort of terrified. He had some childhood memories back...which, he got in trouble because he was late, by Mitsuki.

"Well, I'll keep that in mind." He said.

Iruka and Sayaka were having a different conversation.

"Okay, I'll see you at 4 o'clock at the academe." Iruka said.

"Yup, sounds nice." Sayaka said. "Oh wait...do you know a kimono shop?" she asked.

Iruka nodded. "Yeah, you know the main road with the markets? Well it's on the right side of the road, and the 2nd market down on your left." He said.

"Thanks. Mitsuki and I will have to go and see." Sayaka said, noting the direction in her head.

She then felt someone tapping her shoulder. She looked behind, and saw Mitsuki.

"Oi, Sayaka, we better go and get a hotel room. Then, we can go shopping!" she said, merrily.

"We can carry the bags, if you would like?" Iruka offered.

"Nah, I think it'll be fine." Mitsuki said, waving it off. "We just want to buy things that'll be easy to carry, like weapons and stuff."

"Yeah, we aren't going on a shopping spree. Plus, we are going to go shopping tomorrow. It's getting late." Sayaka said, laughing. True, it was pretty late. About 8? "Well, got to go, bye! We'll see you tomorrow!"

With that, they left.

"You know, do you think it's bad that we are going to the fest with them...?" Sayaka asked her sister, who was getting a room.

"Well, I know. But...I just can't help myself from getting real excited!" Mitsuki said, grinning.

Sayaka smiled. "Yeah, me too. So, what's the plan, anyway?" she asked.

"I'll tell you as soon as we get into the room!" Mitsuki said, still grinning.

"Alright."
