OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Chapter 8

Next Morning

"KAZUMI!"

"What?"

"Wake up! We have to get to Tsunade right now"

"Ugh….why?"

"She just sent us another mission. And it's an urgent one."

Kazumi shoved her face in her pillow ignoring Kakashi. The copy-nin frowned and open the curtains letting the sun shine in into her room. Kazumi groaned when she stared at the light when she lifted up her head. She growled and pulled the blankets to the side.

"Wait 10 minutes I'll be ready….." Kazumi was still half asleep. She grabbed her clothes and stumbled into the bathroom.

"Obviously she's not a morning person," Kakashi sweatdropped.

10 minutes later…….

Kazumi came out of the bathroom, stretching her arms. She walked to the kitchen and poured herself some coffee.

"Hey, your clothes are different from before." Kakashi stated as he handed her a breakfast sandwich and headed to the door. She was wearing a white sleeveless shirt and a black wristband on her right wrist. She wore black shorts with silver trimming on it with high heels (A/N: like the ones Tsunade wears). She strapped a small pouch to her thigh and she put some kunais and shurikens in it. Kazumi closed the door behind her and started walking down the stairs Kakashi started worrying when she almost tripped on her way down.

"Are you ok?"

"Yup…perfectly fine," she mumbled as she finished her sandwich and finished her coffee. Since the cup was plastic she threw in a nearby trashcan and continued walking towards the Hokage's office, bumping into people once in a while.

----

"Tsunade-sama, please, calm down!" Shizune said. The blond Hokage was throwing papers everywhere and pacing back and forth, yelling and cursing.

"ARE ALL THE COUNTRIES GOING AGAINST US OR WHAT! THIS IS ABSURD! FIRST MY ANBU TEAMS END UP MISSING AND WE END UP FINDING OUT THAT HIDDEN CLOUD WAS DESTROYED! NOW IT'S THE SAME WAY WITH HIDDEN STONE THAT'S IN THE EARTH COUNTRY!" Tsunade finally settled in the comfy chair and put her feet up on the coffee table. She closed her eyes thinking and then opened one eye when she heard two ANBU walk in.

"Whoa….what happened in here?" Kazumi looked at the place and sweatdropped.

"Another tantrum?" Kakashi sighed and sat down on the couch.

"The same thing is happening in Hidden Stone…..I sent a few jounins there but they haven't reported anything." Tsunade frowned. Kakashi looked over at Kazumi who was gripping the edge of her shorts.

"Tsunade! Let me go on this mission!" Kazumi stood up, her fists clenched.

Tsunade only glared at the ANBU in front of her. "I will let you go. But you will not fight, you will only investigate." Kazumi looked at her as if she was crazy. Not fight? How could she not fight? It's a mission, you have to fight!

"Not fight! Then why go at all!" Kazumi was now yelling.

"Kazumi! Calm down, the Hokage is right. You can't even wear your headband or mask ever since Itachi touched it!" Kazumi froze when Kakashi said this. He was right. Ever since her teacher's blood dripped on the two things she received from being a Konoha ANBU ninja, she has not touched it.

"If he's behind this, I'm the only one that can stop him. I know all his moves. And besides it seems like he doesn't want to harm me." She glared at Kakashi. He frowned. Tsunade looked at the two and sighed. She got up and picked up a scroll from her desk.

"Kazumi…..try not to kill Itachi. We want him alive." Kazumi thought about this and nodded. She was determined to meet up with her teacher and confront him. One on One.

"Tsunade, could we take Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto with us?" asked Kakashi. He didn't tell her that they came along in the last mission and he didn't think he should either.

"Hmm…yea go ahead. I think they'll be of great help"

----

"Hey"

"Good morning, Sasuke." Kakashi put one finger over his masked mouth and then pointed to the side of the tree. Sasuke looked over him and saw his other teacher sleeping peacefully.

"Good morning, Sasuke! Good morning, Kakashi-sensei!" Both of the Sharingan ninjas "sshhh"ed her and pointed to Kazumi. She nodded and mouthed "sorry" to them.

"GOOD MORNING!" Naruto yelled as he appeared out of nowhere. Sakura punched him and shushed him. He looked at her oddly and looked over to the body that was on the ground. "Oh…..oops. Sorry, I didn't know,"

"Goodness, is it a crime for me to sleep in peace?" The female ANBU sat up glaring at her comrades.

"Sorry. I didn't know"

"What do you know?"

"HEY!"

"There they go again." Sakura sighed as her boyfriend and his rival started arguing again.

"SHUT UP!" Kazumi yelled. Everybody stared at her in shock. She leaned against the tree staring at the clouds and closed her eyes. "Sorry. I'm just stressed out. Kakashi, tell them about the mission"

"We have a mission?" Naruto eyes grew wide with excitement. Kakashi nodded as he told his students to sit down.

"Our mission this time is almost like the other one we had but this time we're going to Earth Country. The Hokage said that some of the ANBU she sent there hasn't reported anything so we're going to go see what's going on" everyone nodded and stood up and left to go pack for the mission.

"Meet back here in an hour. We're leaving at noon" Kakashi said as they were leaving.

---

Kakashi, who had just finished Icha Icha Tactics, sighed and looked down from the branch he was sitting on. He saw his ANBU sitting against the tree with her eyes closed. Wait, his ANBU? Where'd that come from? He sighed again as boredom took over him. The silver-nin had already gotten his stuff and Kazumi's. "I should have gotten the next book of Icha Icha while I was at it….." He thought silently to himself. Kakashi pulled out his wrist watch from his pocket and sighed. It was only 11: 35 am

(A/N: Arina: MUAHAHAHH! I'm taking over now! Everyone else: NOOOOOOOOOO!)

He jumped down from the branch and sat next to her.

"Are you sleeping or are you thinking?" Kazumi opened her eyes and turned her head to look at the silver-haired nin. Then out of nowhere, she sat on top of him, holding his face in front of hers. She started to stroke his cheek.

"……." He rested his hands on her waist, slowly massaging it. Kazumi lifted her fingers and slowly took off his mask. She smiled when she saw his face again. She loved it. She lowered her face and kissed him gently, licking his lips at the same time. Kakashi opened his mouth and slid his tongue in her mouth. He felt her hand slide down and play with the trim of his shirt and moved his hand down and slipped his hand inside her shorts, massaging her thighs. Kazumi moved her hand underneath his shirt and traced her fingers around his abs while her tongue explored his mouth.

"WHAT THE!" Kazumi quickly pulled back and Kakashi slid his mask back up. Naruto stood there, with his backpack in hand, wide eyed. His teachers were just making out. Naruto looked like he was about to run into town and scream that they were making out but he was honestly too shocked.

"Damn it…they were supposed to come back in an hour" The silver-nin cleared his throat.

"You guys…..were…..kissing….."

"Yea that's what people do when they have feelings for one another" Kazumi sweatdropped at her student's expression. Naruto stared at them for a few more moments and heard a familiar voice.

"Naruto….you look like an idiot"

"SHUT UP, SASUKE BASTARD!"

"Make me"

"Ha! I just did!"

"No I didn't. I'm still talking aren't I?"

Naruto growled and lunged for Sasuke who simply dodged it. Sakura sweatdropped and mumbled something. Kazumi noticed the Uchiha was staring at her and sweatdropped. "Does he know?" Sasuke disappeared and appeared right in front of Kazumi. He studied her and smirked.

"You smell like Kakashi…."

"Uh oh………" The teachers looked at each other and sighed. "Ok I guess we'll tell you……" Kazumi sat Indian style and sighed again. "Kakashi and I are…."

"A couple" Kakashi finished. He looked over to his students whose jaws dropped. The ANBU sweatdropped. "What?"

"KAKASHI-SENSEI IS GOING OUT WITH KAZUMI-SENSEI!" Sakura almost passed out but she kept her balance. The female ANBU sweatdropped at all their expressions and laughed.

"Ok…looks like everyone has everything. Let's get going shall we?" Kakashi pushed himself off the ground and smiled.

----

"Are we there yet?"

"No"

"Are we there yet?"

"No"

"Are we there yet?"

"No…."

"Are we there yet?"

"No!"

"Are we there yet?"

"NO!" Kazumi twitched and glared back at her blonde student. He sweatdropped and scratched his head. Kakashi sighed and kept walking. Out of nowhere, Kazumi stopped walking and threw a few shurikens at the trees. Everyone stared at the tree she had struck.

"OUCH!"

She twitched and punched the tree, making someone fall out. It was Jiagi. The samurai rubbed his behind and turned around to see a very pissed off ANBU.

"What the hell are you doing here?" She started to pop her knuckles.

"Uh oh………" Her three students thought.

"Um….Kazumi-sensei, maybe he has a good reason…." Sakura motioned her hands for her teacher to calm down.

"I wasn't following you! I was heading back to Konoha for a mission and I thought you guys were someone else and hid in a tree. Is that so wrong!" Jiagi growled at everyone else and stood up. He dusted himself off and glared at Kazumi who glared right back at him.

"I'm telling you…..you don't have control over your chakra that's why everyone can sense you and they attack you. I'm surprised you haven't been killed yet." Kakashi said bluntly while reading his book. The samurai glared at him. Sasuke sighed and Naruto frowned. They wanted to get on with the mission.

"I smell blood……." Kazumi started running towards the scent with everyone else behind her.

"Ugh….what the hell…..?" Kazumi covered her mouth and nose to rid the stench in the air. She heard her students coming. "Sakura! Sasuke! Naruto! Don't come any close!" They stopped in their tracks and watched as Kakashi kept walking towards her. His eyes grew wide at what he saw before him. It was terrible. Dead bodies. Many of them. All of them had some part of their body missing and their blood was spilled everywhere.

"Could this be Itachi's doing……?" that was the first thing that went through Kazumi's mind. She started to feel dizzy as the smell of blood kept flowing towards her. "Ugh…..i can't take this smell….." Kakashi led her away from the scene and looked up at his students. They had a worried expression on their face.

"Jiagi…..did you see anyone suspicious before you met up with us?" The samurai stared at his ninja friend but shook his head. "No, there wasn't anyone but me…..either that or they have pretty damn good stealth" Kakashi sighed and tried to soothe Kazumi who was holding her head from a horrible migraine and dizziness.

"Ugh…."

"You ok?"

"A little better than before…..damn I have having a sensitive nose….."

"Sakura, do you have any pills for dizziness or something?"

"Yea! Right here!" Sakura yelled out and took a small bottle to Kakashi. He took it from her and sat Kazumi down by a tree and gave her a pill and some water. She gulped it down and drank more of the water.

"Come……come to me……"

"Huh?" Kazumi stood up and looked around. Kakashi looked at her with a questioning look on his face. "Didn't you guys hear that?" Everyone looked at her.

"Kazumi, what are you talking about?" The silver haired nin started to worry at his partner……and girlfriend. She frowned and rubbed her head.

"Maybe I'm still feeling a little woozy" she said as she leaned back against the tree. She poured some of the water over her head and drank more of it.

"Come here……Come to me, Kazumi……" Kazumi dropped the water bottle Kakashi had handed to her earlier and stared off in the direction of the woods. Someone was calling her…..and she knew who it was too. "Itachi……" She dropped the backpack she was wearing so she can run faster and headed towards the deeper part of the woods. "It's him! I knew it! He killed all those people! ITACHI!" Kazumi growled as she continued running towards the source of telekinetic power.

"You four stay here!" Kakashi ran after Kazumi and frowned. "Was Itachi talking to her in her mind? Is that why she's acting like this!" He saw her in a distance. She had stopped and was looking at something. Or someone. He hid his chakra and stayed in the tree he had stopped in.

"Itachi……"

"Ah….Kazumi, you came……" Itachi smirked and walked towards her. He stopped when he saw her backing away. "Why are you backing away?"

"You're not Itachi-sensei……the Itachi I know would have never used a powerful genjutsu on me….unlike you…." Kazumi glared at him. She frowned when she heard him laughing. "Why are you laughing?"

"Kazumi, I am your teacher. I guarantee you that." He had a dark look on his face and he disappeared. She looked around only to find him before herself with his cold hands on her neck. Kazumi gasped when his grip tightened around her neck. Itachi placed his face into her hair and took a deep breathe. "You smell like him….that copy ninja, Kakashi!" He threw her on the ground and growled at her.

"So what? I'm not your property!" she yelled back at him.

"You belong to me and only me! I'm the one that raised you and made you come this far!" his voice echoed in the area they were in. Kazumi smirked and got up, glaring at her ex-sensei.

"You didn't do shit for me. Don't call me your property….I don't belong to anybody but Kakashi and Konoha." Kazumi lowered her head and out of nowhere appeared behind Itachi. The cold metal from the kunai was touching his neck.

"Ha…..that old dog! You won't get anything from him!"

"At least he doesn't make me cry!"

"And what if he does! Are you going to leave him then!" Kazumi pressed the kunai even harder against her skin and growled. Itachi smirked.

"I'll make you a deal then……..if he makes you cry, you'll come back to me but if he doesn't then you can stay in Konoha happily with him." Kazumi let go of him and let him turn around and face her. She knew that Kakashi would never make her cry. But she didn't want to take the risk….

"N---"

"You have a deal." Kakashi jumped out of the tree he was standing in and appeared in front of Kazumi.

"Kakashi?" How did she not sense him? How stupid of her.

"You have a deal, Itachi. If I make her cry, I'll personally hand her to you" Kakashi had a deadly look in his eyes that it scared Kazumi. Both of the ANBU saw Itachi smirk and hold out his hand. Kakashi took it and the deal was sealed.

"Alright then…." The missing nin disappeared, leaving the couple alone. Kakashi felt a weak punch against his back and turned around to see Kazumi looking down at her feet. She glared at him and slapped him across the face.

"Why the hell did you do that!" Her eyes were beginning to turn red. She was about to cry. Kakashi pulled her into a tight hug.

"Don't cry….He'll take you away if you do…." The copy nin pulled down his mask and kissed her on the lips.

"You're stupid, Kakashi…" she said once they broke away from the kiss. The black haired ANBU buried her face in his jounin vest.

"Yes, I am." He played with her hair before squeezing her with his strong arms.

"KAKASHI-SENSEI!"

"KAZUMI-SENSEI!"

Both of them turned their heads and saw some of the bushes rustling and saw four heads pop up. Naruto, Jiagi, Sasuke, and Sakura. Kazumi slightly smiled and leaned against Kakashi again, burying her face into his chest. Sakura looked at Kakashi, who gave his usual smile.

"I think we should hurry and get going to Hidden Stone" Sasuke said as he stuffed his hands into his pocket. Jiagi grinned as he heard the Uchiha prodigy say this.

"Can I come along?" He asked…..more like begged.

"No." All 5 of them said at the same time. The samurai sweatdropped and sighed. "Why not?" Kazumi, who still had her face buried in Kakashi's chest, groaned and hid her face inside of Kakashi's jounin vest. He sweatdropped and looked over at everyone who was staring at him an "ahh, you're that close" face.

"Jiagi, you can come along I guess….." Kakashi felt a small pinch near his ribcage and looked down at Kazumi. She was biting him for letting Jiagi come along.

A day later……

"Are we there yet?"

"No, and don't start with me" Kazumi looked ahead and smiled as she saw the gates of Hidden Stone Village. The guards glared at them. All 6 of them showed their pass for coming into the village and they let them in.

"Wow! This place is so cool! And they're having a festival!" Sakura laughed as she walked ahead and looked at all the different places. The black haired ANBU smiled and handed the pink haired chuunin some money. Kazumi then handed Sasuke and Naruto some money as well.

"You guys enjoy. Kakashi, Jiagi, and I will go check out a hotel or something." She waved as her students ran off towards the center of the festival. Jiagi looked around and saw some hotels down a road and pointed.

"There are some hotels over there. Let's go" The three of them started to walk and entered a hotel. Kakashi walked up to the counter and asked for 3 rooms and paid for it. "Ok…..Sakura and Sasuke will be in one room. Naruto and Jiagi will be in one room. And Kazumi and I will be in one." He said as he gave a key to the room to Jiagi.

"Is it safe to put Sakura and Sasuke in one room?" The female ANBU asked as she received her spare key of the room.

"Is it safe to put you two in one room?" asked the snickering Jiagi. In the next moment, he was smacked upside the head by both of the ANBU. Jiagi glared as he headed towards his room.

-----

"We're back!" Naruto yelled as he entered the hotel lobby with an armful of stuffed animals he won. Kazumi sweatdropped and caught the stuffed dog the foxboy threw at her.

"How'd u find us?" Jiagi asked as he drank more of his drink.

"We followed your chakra" Sasuke said. He was holding a giant stuffed toy that looked like a sakura flower. Obviously it was Sakura's. The pink haired ninja held a small water balloon that was hanging from a rubbery string. "You should take Kakashi's advice about hiding your chakra, or you will get killed." He smirked.

"Here, Sasuke" Kakashi threw a key at him and Sasuke caught it. "It's your room key. You're sharing a room with Sakura."

"WHAT!" both yelled and stared at the copy nin, who just smiled at his students.

"As long as you don't do anything, it should be fine right?"

"Y-y-y-yea…sure…." Sasuke looked at Sakura, who was beet red, and went to go look for the room with her following him.

"Jiagi, show Naruto to your room" Kazumi said. Jiagi twitched and led Naruto to their room. The female teacher got up from her seat and walked towards their room. She felt Kakashi's eyes follow her but ignored it. Kakashi stayed seated and finished his drink and pulled out his perverted book. The black haired ANBU sighed as she closed the door behind her and looked around the hotel room. Kazumi noticed something about the room she felt uncomfortable about. There was only one bed. "Kakashi……you damn pervert……" She put down her backpack she had carried and walked into the bathroom. It looked nice compared to Kakashi's. "Hmm…I guess I'll enjoy a bath while I'm here…." She turned on the water pretty hot and noticed a bathrobe hanging from a hook behind the door. "How convenient…." She pulled off her clothes, letting it land on the floor of the bathroom and slipped into the tub. She saw a bubble bath bottle and opened it and let the liquid fall into the water letting bubbles cover the water. She leaned back and sighed as she relaxed.

----

Kakashi walked into the room and closed the door. He looked around and noticed the one bed problem as well. "Stupid lady……I didn't think she would give me a one bed room…" He heard water splashing in the bathroom and knocked on the door. "Kazumi?"

"Kakashi?"

"……." He stood in front of the door with his right hand on the door knob. "Can I come in…?" Inside the bathroom, Kazumi blushed as he asked this.

"Yes….." She felt a cold breeze hit her back when he opened the door. Kazumi looked up at him and gave him a small smile. He closed the door and sat down on the closed toilet seat. The silver haired ninja stared at her, not in a perverted way but just a normal stare. He saw how she was half way inside the tub, hiding under the bubbles with her head sticking out from above the water.

"What did you do after I left?"

"I finished reading the final book of Icha Icha" He was still looking at her. Kazumi fiddled with her fingers underwater.

"Kazumi……"

"Yes…?"

"Can I join you?" Kazumi blushed and slightly nodded. She heard his clothes drop the floor and closed her eyes. Kazumi heard him entered the bathtub from behind her. She felt her mouth go dry and gasped when she felt him pull her back against his chest. "I just realized your hair is real long" the silver haired ninja said as he ran his fingers thru her wet hair. Kazumi nodded.

"Are you nervous?"

"….yes…."

"Why?"

"Because……I've never been in this kind of situation….." Kazumi turned her head and looked back at him with a small smile on her face. Kakashi saw how she had her knees up and her arms across her chest. "Kakashi?" He snapped out of his thoughts and looked at her red face. Kazumi slightly turned her body and leaned against his chest. The copy nin felt her arms snake around his back and hug him. Kakashi looked down into her eyes and saw something. Lust. That was it. He felt her breasts against his chest and felt his face turn red and looked away before Kazumi could see him. "Oh…my…god……" Kazumi had felt him. Kakashi saw her face and brought his hand up to her face and stroked it. The female ANBU moved close to his face. She was just centimeters away from his lips and Kakashi felt her hesitate so he moved in and kissed her on the lips. Kazumi felt his hand trail down the side of her body and down to her thigh. She shivered and broke the kiss and stared into his eyes. "Kakashi……I realized something real important……" Her forehead and his was against each other as Kazumi traced her fingers across his lips over and over slowly.

"What's that….?" Kakashi's hands were massaging her waist like before. Her face turned red as she got real close to his lips.

"I…..I love you……" She pressed her lips against his. Kazumi gasped when she felt him sit up, almost knocking her over into the water. He was hugging her with his face buried into her neck. She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck and ran her fingers through his silver soft hair. Kakashi found his way back to her lips and slipped his tongue into her mouth. Kazumi let out a soft moan and played war with his tongue before breaking away for breathe.

"You don't know how much I wanted to hear those words since the day I met you….." Kakashi hugged her even more. Kazumi smiled and hugged him once more. She realized right then that she was naked and blushed like crazy.

"K-K-Kakashi……we're naked…..!" She said and tried to cover herself but the copy ninja has a good grip around her. She gasped when she felt him lift her up and get out of the bathroom. She tried to cover herself but only to find herself on the bed. Kakashi pulled on some boxers and sweatpants and looked over at her. Kazumi, still wet from the bath, quickly pulled on the bathrobe and glanced over at the other ANBU.

"Kazumi…..you trust me right?" Kazumi nodded and let Kakashi pull her into his lap. She looked up at his face…..the unmasked face she loved so much. The black haired ninja felt him untie the robe….she let him….

Knock, knock, knock!

Kazumi, once again, was left on the bed. Kakashi put on his mask before he opened the door to see a blonde boy grinning up on them. "Naruto, you better have a good reason why you're here….." Obviously he was mad.

"Did we interrupt something?" Sakura came out from behind Naruto and looked past Kakashi. She smiled at her female teacher.

"Obviously we did since he's upset." The Uchiha was leaning against the wall, smirking up at his teacher. Kakashi glared at all three of his students and sighed. It was almost impossible to be mad at his students.

"What do you want?" asked the half upset Kakashi. Sakura's growling stomach answered that question. She laughed and sweatdropped. "You want to go for dinner again?" asked the now not upset Kakashi.

"Yes" all three of them said at the same time. Kakashi sighed and nodded. Naruto went to go get Jiagi as Sakura and Sasuke started to slowly walk down the hall. The copy ninja closed the door and told Kazumi about the plans for that night.

"Oh, dinner! I forgot about that" She went inside the bathroom and put on her undergarments and put the bathrobe back on. She was about to reach for her backpack when she felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her waist. "Kakashi….." she felt a masked kiss on her cheek and the warmth leave her.

"I want to finish what we did earlier afterwards……..if that's ok with you……" Kazumi saw a small blush on his face and nodded slowly. She put on a black spaghetti strap dress that ended a few inches above her knee and slipped on her high heel shoes she wore on the trip over to the village they were currently in.

"Wow….that's…." Kakashi looked at Kazumi and smiled. She blushed as she saw his eyes wander up and down her body and started walking to the door. Before the female ANBU reached the doorknob, Kazumi felt Kakashi's hands tilt her head to the side and felt his soft lips meet hers. He opened the door for her and led her out.

"Let's go already! I'm hungry!" Naruto yelled as he saw his teachers walk out from their room. Kazumi glared at Naruto and started walking down the hall. He grinned at Kakashi. "Psst! Kakashi-sensei! Did you do anything with Kazumi-sensei yet?" He snickered but only to receive a rather large bump on his head.

"You never learn do you?" Jiagi shook his head and followed the two teachers down the hall. Sasuke chuckled and stuffed his hands in his pockets.

"Come on, dope"

"SHUT UP, SASUKE BASTARD!"

"DON'T CALL HIM BASTARD, NARUTO!"

"Grr…"

------

"Welcome!"

"Not another chirpy waitress………" Kazumi groaned. They all followed the waitress to their seats and ordered their drinks. "Hmm…..what should I eat this time?" Kazumi scanned through the menu with Kakashi.

"Why don't you have the Unagi Don again?"

"Nah, I'll try something else."

"You're going to get fat"

"Are you calling me fat?"

"Uh oh…." The others thought.

"Do they always act like this?" The samurai asked Naruto. The foxboy nodded and grinned.

"You'll get use to it!"

"Are you guys ready to order?" the waitress was back. "I'll have the…….Unagi Don Combo" Kazumi twitched……it seems like the waitress was flirting with Kakashi.

"So what's your name?" the waitress was being real flirty….

"Um….miss----"

"Call me Yori" She smiled. Kazumi gave a fake cough and put on a fake smile and handed the menu to Yori.

"I think you should take the orders and leave." The girl said sternly. The waitress got the hint and quickly got everyone else's orders and scrammed. Kazumi looked away from Kakashi. "That was stupid………stupid waitress………" She snapped out of her thoughts when she felt something hold her hand. When she looked down, Kazumi saw Kakashi's hand entwined with her fingers. Kazumi smiled and looked over at Kakashi who was smiling at her too.

"Hey, why don't you guys fill me in on our 'trip'?" asked the serious Jiagi. He took a sip from his water and glanced over at the ANBU couple. Kazumi looked around and nodded.

"There're some weird things going on over here……some of Konoha's ANBU haven't reported in a long time so Tsunade sent us." She whispered. Jiagi nodded.

"We should start looking around tomorrow." He said. The samurai looked over at the three chuunins who nodded.

"I agree with Jiagi. We should also look for the other ANBU" Sakura said as she took a rather large gulp from her water.

"Ok. Tomorrow, you 4 go into town and just look around and see if you see anything suspicious. Kazumi and I will go to the outskirts and see if we can find the other ANBU" Kakashi said. He looked up to see the waitress standing there with their food. The copy nin smiled and let her give them their food and left.

"I hope she didn't hear that….." Naruto said.

"If she did, all we have to do is brainwash her and she'll forget about it" said the Uchiha prodigy. Everyone sweatdropped as he said this calmly.

------

"That was good!" Kazumi stretched as they left the restaurant and took a deep breathe. She played with her ponytail and turned around to face the others. "I know! Let's go the festival! I heard they have fireworks during the night!"

"We can buy kimonos and yukatas too!" said Sakura.

"Let's go then!" Jiagi started running towards the festival grounds with Naruto behind him. Kazumi watched as Jiagi and her students run off towards the lights. She felt a familiar warm hand take hers and lead her to the lights. Kakashi smiled back at her and kept walking.

-----

"WOW! Kazumi-sensei that looks great on you! You should get that one!" Kazumi smiled as Sakura commented on her kimono she was trying on. She was wearing a red kimono with a black obi. It had swirls of grey at the bottom of it and large print of pink sakura flowers on it. Naruto and Jiagi grinned and commented on her kimono also. Kakashi had to turn his head away so the others wouldn't see him blush.

"Alright I'll buy this one then…." Kazumi was about to walk into the dressing room with Sakura stopped her.

"No, sensei! You're going to wear this! Just give me the tag on it and i'll give it to the cashier." The black haired ANBU sweatdropped but obeyed her student. She pulled off the tag that was hanging from the sleeve of the kimono and handed it to Sakura. The pink haired chuunin grinned and turned to the boys. "Ok your turn to find yukatas!"

"Wow……she has everyone in check……" Kazumi sweatdropped at the thought and went inside the dressing room to retrieve her clothes.

"W-w-wait! You didn't get your kimono, Sakura!" Sasuke was waving his hands in front of his girlfriend. Sakura smirked and held out a bag that contained her kimono. The Uchiha reached in there and pulled out a dark pink kimono with baby pink sakura flowers printed everywhere. He also pulled out a green obi.

"See? I already have one! Now let's look one for you, Sasuke!" She dragged him across the store to the men area and took a few yukatas off the rack and threw him and the clothes into the dressing rooms. Everyone else sweatdropped. Then Kazumi spotted a dark navy blue yukata with a grey obi.

"Hmm?" She pulled it out from the rack and looked at it more carefully. "Kakashi… try this one on" The copy nin looked at the yukata and took it and walked into the dressing room Kazumi used a while ago. After a while, both Kakashi and Sasuke came out of their rooms with their yukatas on. Jiagi and Naruto came back with their own yukatas in their hands and laughed when they saw the two ninjas. Sasuke glared at Naruto as Kakashi glared at Jiagi.

"That looks good on you, Kakashi…." The young ANBU smiled up at her boyfriend and tugged on the yukata.

"You want me to get this one?" Kazumi nodded to his question. He pulled off the tag and handed it to Kazumi.

"SASUKE THAT LOOKS SO GOOD ON YOU!" all of them turned around to see Sakura clinging on the Uchiha prodigy who was wearing a black yukata with a blue obi. He blushed as Sakura kissed him on the cheek and pulled off the tag from the sleeve. "Naruto, Jiagi….did you get your yukatas?" The pink haired chuunin asked. Both of them nodded and held out their yukatas. Naruto's was orange with a white obi and Jiagi's was dark green with a blue obi.

"Ok you two, go change. Just give me the tags and I'll go pay for them. You go change too, Sakura." Kazumi headed towards the cashier and paid for hers, Sasuke's, Jiagi's, Naruto's, and Kakashi's clothes and came back to the others. "Everyone ready?" They all nodded and placed all their clothes into a bag they received from the cashier.

"GOT IT!" Naruto yelled as he pulled up the small fishing rod and held a plastic toy of a fish. Sakura clapped as she took the fishing rod and grabbed a hold of a fish as well. It was almost time for the fireworks and the group was just killing time. Kazumi saw Sasuke holding a few of the dolls Sakura had won and Jiagi and Naruto were arguing about something she didn't know about. She laughed and noticed Kakashi was gone and left the group to look for him. The female ANBU continued to walk down the path filled with villagers and finally found the silver-haired ninja who was looking at a group of little kids trying to do the Henge No Jutsu (transformation technique).

"There you are, Kakashi" She watched him turn around and look at her.

"Ah, you found me…."

"You sound like you planned on me finding you"

"Maybe I did, maybe I didn't"

"What are you up to?" She looked up at him and saw a smirk on his face. Kakashi pulled down his mask and kissed her. Kazumi felt his tongue roll around in her mouth for a few seconds and then he pulled back. She blushed and clung to his chest and smiled. "Let's go back. The others are waiting" He nodded and followed her. The crowd started getting real big and almost separated them but Kakashi hugged her from behind and continued walking.

"Look! There they are!" Jiagi yelled when he saw the couple come out of the crowd. The three chuunins glared at them and the ANBU sweatdropped.

"What?" Kazumi stared at them.

"We're going to miss the fireworks if we don't hurry!" Sakura yelled as she headed towards the direction the couple just came from.

"Oy…we gotta go through that again?" Kazumi groaned as she started walking as well.

"There they are….make sure you bring back that ANBU girl" said a man from the shadows.

"Yes, sir…" answered his assassin ninjas as they disappeared and headed towards the group.
