Chapter 4

Next Morning

BAM!

Kazumi: DAMN! That hurt!

Knock! Knock!

She stood up and opened the door to see Kakashi in his pajamas. He was still sleepy. And he still had that damn mask on!

Kakashi: You're crashing already?

Kazumi: Shut up. Urg…I'm tired

Kakashi: Well I would say go back to sleep but we have to get going to Tsunade's

Kazumi: For what?

Kakashi: Mission

Kazumi: Are you kidding me! I just got here!

Kakashi: That's Tsunade for you

There was an awkward silence between them and the next moment both of them were struggling to get to the bathroom first. Kazumi stepped on Kakashi's foot hard. He yelped but pulled her shirt making her fall against the wall behind them. She growled and tackled Kakashi into his bedroom. Just when she was about to run out the door, Kakashi tripped her making her land face first on the ground. Kazumi lifted her face up to see a smiling face looking down at her. She glared at him only to realize it was clone. The girl cursed to herself and jumped up only to find Kakashi opening the bathroom door. Kazumi quickly moved her hands to do some seals.

Kazumi: Kanashibari no Jutsu (Body Freeze Technique)!

Kakashi: Damn it.

Kazumi grinned as she walked past the ninja and closed the door. He heard her laughing on the other side of the door and felt the jutsu wearing off. Kakashi walked back to his room and laid back down.

Kakashi: I guess I'll sleep until she gets out of the bathroom. Girls take a while to get ready.

He heard the water running and slowly drifted back to sleep.

15 minutes later…..

Kakashi heard footsteps but ignored it and pulled the blanket over his head. The next thing he knew, his bed tipped over and he fell right on his ass. He turned around to see Kazumi hold up on side of his bed with a "God! You're lazy!" look on her face. He saw that her hair was still wet and she had her clothes on as well.

Kakashi: You're ready?

Kazumi: yes I am. I've been waiting for 5 minutes!

Kakashi: I thought women took a long time to get ready……

He then felt his head hit the floor and a burning sensation on his back. Kakashi, the infamous copy ninja, was being dragged across his own apartment by a girl he knew for a day. Kazumi pulled him across his room and threw him in the bathroom. Literally. He glared at her but only to feel a deadlier glare from her.

Kazumi: Get ready in 5 minutes! Or I'll tell Tsunade you ditched the mission!

She slammed the bathroom door and stormed off to, what he guessed, the kitchen. He snapped out of his daydream and quickly stripped and jumped in the shower. He didn't want to take any chances that Kazumi was joking about telling Tsunade something untrue. He got out of the bathroom with a towel over his head in 3 minutes. Kakashi walked to his room and put on his old ANBU clothes. He sighed. He hadn't put these clothes on for the longest time. After he put them on, he walked over to his drawers and pulled out his old ANBU mask. Kakashi sniffed the air. Something smelled real good. He was almost drooling and walked to the kitchen to see breakfast all ready on the table with coffee and orange juice. Kazumi didn't see him walk in the kitchen. She was too busy cooking something else and singing at the same time. Kakashi was in a daze because her voice was gentle and angelic.

Kazumi: kuzure te yuku abe no mukou wa

zetsubou mo kibou mo onaji kao suru

mita sare nai kokoro aru nara

tobi tateru shuumatsu no PUROROOGU e

(A/N: this is the lyrics from True Light from DNAngel…..i do not own this song)

Kakashi sat down at the table, startling Kazumi. She blushed as she figured out that Kakashi was there when she sang. She shook her head and put a annoyed expression.

Kazumi: HURRY and eat! We have to get going!

Kakashi pulled down his mask and ate his eggs, toast, potatoes, and ham slowly. Kazumi gulped down a cup of water, milk, and orange juice. Kakashi watched as she ran over to her room and got her head protector and mask. She put her head protector around her neck with a smile on her face but hestitated when she put the mask on.

Kazumi: I don't get why we have to wear masks. I mean, don't you want the village to see your face so they can look up to you?

Kakashi: We wear them so our enemies won't come after us

Kazumi: Well that won't happen if they're killed

Kakashi: Let's get going

Kakashi dumped his plate and fork into the sink and headed for the door. Kazumi pushed her mask so it was on the side of her face and followed him.

-------

Tsunade slammed her fist on her desk. She was frustrated.

Kazumi: eh….Tsunade, you ok?

Tsunade: no! I'm not ok!

Kakashi leaned against the wall in his normal lazy position. Shizune was standing next to the door with a worried look on her face.

Kakashi: What's going on?

Shizune: Some of the ANBU she sent to the Thunder country hasn't returned. She sent a letter the other day demanding them back but the Raikage (Ruler of The Hidden Cloud Village, Thunder Country) said they know nothing.

Tsunade: This is absurd! They're hiding something!

The Hokage looked over at Kazumi and Kakashi. Kazumi felt a chill go up her spine and didn't like it.

Kazumi: I'm getting a weird feeling……

Tsunade: I'm giving your mission right now! I want you to go to Thunder country and find your other comrades! And find out what's going on over there! Even other countries are getting suspicious of them. Go now! And be careful!

Tsunade handed a scroll to Kazumi and once she did, both disappeared leaving a puff of smoke behind.

-----

The gates of Konoha opened. The copy-nin and a black haired girl quickly left the village for their mission. Kazumi hadn't been there in a long time and was worrying that she will make something go worse then it already is. She concentrated her chakra to her feet and went ahead. She was mad for some reason. It was a feeling she didn't like but had in her for a long time.

Kakashi: Kazumi! Don't go ahead of me! If we get separated it won't be any good!

Kazumi: I know the territory we're going into. Or did you forget I've been there?

Kakashi: It doesn't matter if you know the territory! You don't enemies abilities!

Kazumi halted and looked at Kakashi who was standing on the brand behind her. The Mangekyou Sharingan was in act. Kakashi looked at it but nothing happened like the first time he saw her have it.

Kazumi: Thunder country is where Itachi was killed….by me. And I know all their abilities, I copied them so don't say I don't know their abilities

Kakashi: We're already half way there……and the sun's going down let's stay here for the night

Kazumi: Alright

Kakashi set up a fire that night while Kazumi pulled out some sandwiches she made this morning. It was quiet between those two and Kazumi hated silence.

Kazumi: Kakashi…Why do you---

Kakashi: Hide my face? You asked me that yesterday at the restaurant

Kazumi: I'm just curious

Kakashi: Curiosity killed the cat

Kazumi: You're not gonna tell me are you?

Kakashi: Someday….but not now

CRACK! SNAP! CRASH! BAM!

Kazumi jumped up and looked around. She looked over at Kakashi who nodded and disappeared. She walked to where she heard the sound and you wouldn't believe what she found. There they were….Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto….the now new chuunins. Sasuke and Naruto were arguing but Sakura smacked them upside the head and pointed up at Kazumi. She looked angry and pointed over to the fire near the campsite. The three chuunins walked over the fire and jumped back when they saw their sensei standing in front of them with an angry look.

Kakashi: what are you three doing here?

Sakura: We followed you

Kazumi: why?

Sasuke: Because we wanted to go on a mission

Naruto: Yea! We haven't been on one for a while and it was getting real boring

Kakashi: I want you three to go back to Konoha tomorrow morning!

Sakura/Sasuke/Naruto: why!

Kazumi: this is a s-class mission and you guys are still inexperienced!

Sasuke: and this is coming from a girl that's how old?

Kazumi: I'm 16 mind you! And I was disguised as a 14 year old for a reason

Sasuke: what reason would that be?

Kazumi: Damn you're nosey!

Sakura: umm……Kazumi-san?

Kazumi: Just call me Kazumi……formal names like that annoy me

Sakura: o-ok

Kazumi looked at the three chuunins sitting before her. One was the last Uchiha, the girl was taught by Tsunade herself, and the blonde has the kyuubi sealed in him. What a combo. She looked over at Kakashi was rubbing his temples from the frustration he just received from his students. Kazumi dug through her backpack and pulled out 3 sandwiches and handed it to the students. They looked hungry.

Sakura: thank you

Naruto: thanks!

Sasuke: hn.

Kazumi: how could two brothers look so alike but be so different?

She realized that Sasuke's eyes were permanently Sharingan eyes but he still hadn't mastered them.

(A/N: for those who don't know….if you mastered the Sharingan eyes it would have three of those comma dot things…..if it's not mastered it would have two.)

Kazumi: Sasuke….how long have you had the Sharingan?

Sasuke: hn…for about 2-3 years now

Kazumi: and yet you haven't mastered it

Sasuke: it's not that easy. I'm not like my brother

Kazumi stared at the Uchiha prodigy sitting in front of her. She closed her eyes for a second and opened them back up. Sasuke gasped as he saw the Mangekyou Sharingan up close. He had forgotten that she was his brother's one and only student. Kazumi closed her eyes and opened them back up. Her eyes were the normal Sharingan now.

Sakura: I'm tired

Kazumi: If you brought a tent you go to sleep. I'll help you put it up.

Sakura rummaged through her backpack and pulled out the folded tent. Naruto did the same but his just popped open and he crawled in there. He said his goodnights and zipped the tent. Kazumi helped Sakura put her tent up and said goodnight to her. It was now Sasuke, Kazumi, and Kakashi. Sasuke got up and walked to Sakura's tent and crawled in there. Kakashi and Kazumi stared at pink tent by the fire, wide-eyed.

Kakashi: did he just…?

Kazumi: I think he did.

The two ANBU ninjas talked about random stuff for a while when they started hearing snoring from Naruto's tent. Kazumi sweatdropped and Kakashi chuckled. She pointed to Sakura's tent and mouthed "what do you think they're doing?" Kakashi blinked at her and saw her eyes go white. It was the Byakuugan (Evil eye or White eye).

Kakashi: She must have seen Neji or Hinata use this.

Kazumi: yes I did copy it. Yes, I did read your mind. The Byakuugan comes in handy sometimes.

Kazumi looked over at the pink tent. She saw Sakura snuggled up close to Sasuke and he had his arm around her waist. Kazumi smiled and motioned Kakashi to come to her. Kakashi sat next to her and she put her hand on his shoulder. Kakashi then saw everything Kazumi saw.

Kakashi: How'd you do that?

Kazumi: Controlled my chakra. I saw a lot of mangas do that so I thought I give it a shot and it worked.

Kakashi: Aa…

Kakashi yawned. Kazumi patted him on the shoulder and jumped in a tree.

Kazumi: Goodnight

Kakashi: You're gonna sleep in a tree?

Kazumi: Yup. I always do

Kakashi: Geez….most women would be complaining that they don't have anything soft to sleep on. She is an unusual one.

Kakashi jumped up on the branch above her and smiled down at her. Kazumi opened one eye and looked up and smirked.

Kazumi: copy cat

Kakashi: no. copy ninja

Kazumi: Whatever

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

KCG: ok so?

Sakura: at least we were in this one!

Sasuke: yea, I guess

Naruto: I wonder how the mission will go

Kazumi: Probably all bloody and all that.

Kakashi: You're no ordinary woman

Kazumi: No I'm not. Men always think woman cower behind their backs and crap like that

Kakashi/Naruto/Sasuke: ……………………

Sakura: you're right about that!

KCG: anyways

Kazumi: Oh…

Kazumi/Sakura: Don't forget to review
