A/N: Hiya! Tenshi-Hikari here! Here's the next installment of my story, As Told By Kajitsu.
Disclaimer: Same as always, I only own mah own characers. Hands off! This chapter might be a little boring, but it might help. Review if you have the energy. Again, Pakkun and Gamabunta shall torture you if you begin to flame my story. Critique is welcome, but straight-out bitching and bashing isn't.
Dear Kumo Kunoichi: Thanks, and I'm afraid to say that the spat over Come Come Paradise doesn't continue. On this chapter. On the third one, in the other hand... Ho ho ho. But there is another minor fight on this one too.
Dear Anything: Thank you, I thought it might stand out of the other OC-fics.
"Noooo! Please nooo!" I whined and shook my head.
"YES!" Mayu and Yui chorused.
"Have mercy on my pitiful soul! Not the sappy romance-flicks!" I beg and clasp my hands together as if praying.
"YEES! BWAHAHAHAA!" They both laughed manically and bounced about.
"Fine, fine, but only if I can pick up a few movies o' my taste." They nodded and scurried happily to the adventure and horror sections of the video rentals.
"This and this!" I shouted and pulled out two movies.
"Parental advisory on both of them?" Mayu asked and glared at me.
"Oh, honey, you're old enough." I said and grinned happily.
"If you lose the super angsty-one, we lose the uber-fluffy one, deal?" Saluting, I put the super-angsty-one back to the shelf and Mayu put the uber-fluffy romance-flick away (after a strain of words that would make the roughest sailor blush in embarrasment).
"Okay, let's check these babies out!" Yui shouts and we agree loudly. We get along great!
Why? Well, there's a legend my mom told me when I was smaller. She said that every person has star sisters or -brothers. All three are born the same day, same exact moment and they all have one name incommon. All three of these persons feel eachother's emotions if they concentrate hard enough, and the personalities are very similar, though there are some traits that make them differ. Well, Mayu and Yui are my "Celestial Sisters", as we call our small group. We all share our middle name, Hoshiko. While I'm the tallest of the group, Mayu is the shortest. She measures 5"6', and Yui measures 5"8'. My hair reaches just a little below my shoulders, Yui's hair is short and cut boy-style, and Mayu has long hair to her butt. My hair is brown, Yui's is orange and Mayu's is blonde. Same with the eyes: My eyes are brown, Yui's are green and Mayu's are blue. They are both pretty normal-looking. Our personalities? We all have very, VERY twisted sence of humor and we all love to eat. I'm pretty down-to-earth-kind gal, Yui is a bit of a hot-head and Mayu's an airhead. And, as the above suggests, I hate all the chick-stuff, but my two cooky companions love it.
"Oof!" Yet again, I hit a person. But wait, this time I know that person.
"Maa, it's Wara! What's up?"
"Oh-ho, it's you!" The guy says. Yep, it's the guy I ran into this morning. The guy with the straw and all.
"Look, uh... I wanted to apologize my behaviour this morning. That kid got me ticked off and mom woke me up on a unholy hour."
"And when did she wake you up?"
"... About half-an-hour before I ran into you." The man laughs at my response.
"The name's Shiranui Genma. And you are?" He holds out his hand. I grab it and shake it.
"Kaba Kajitsu. Nice to meet you. Now, if you'll excuse me, it's girl's night in, so..." I say and leave with a dramatic bow. And I was bombarded with questions.
"Who was he?"
"Where did you meet him?"
"When did you meet him?"
"Is he single?"
"Mayu!" A sweatdrop appeared over mine and Yui's heads. Of course Mayu asked that. She crushes on anyone that might be cute in her opinion.
"One: The guy is called Shiranui Genma. Two: I met him when I ran into him. Three: I met him this morning. Four: How the fuck should I know? Let's just go and have the movie-night, okay?"
"Haaai!"
"Yui-chan, you're such a great cook!" I shouted and munched on my ice cream a lá Yui. It had 4 scoops of vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce, fudge, waffles, sprinkles and whipped cream.
"Yeah, and you look soooo adorable in that apron!" Mayu muses and eats a bite out of her portion. Same as mine, only with chocolate ice cream scoops.
"Ha ha." Yui laughed sarcastically and grabbed her ice cream bowl. She picked strawberry as her flavour of the night. She took off her apron and slouched around with her bowl, wearing bright red tanktop and black pants with cute kitties with bowties in it and her hair was still the same boycut and naturally in a dissarray. This time I'm in my shorts and T-shirt, my hair up on a bun, and Mayu had picked out candy-striped shirt with matching shorts and her hair on a braid. We all ventured upstairs, to my room. No fear of my parent's seeing me; they're visiting my aunt's cousin's daughter's brother-in-law's aunt's daughter's children's godfather, twice removed... Or something like that. Who ever it is, they're out for about a week or so. Hallelujah.
"Soo, horror-flick or lovey-dovey-flick?" I ask, dreading the answer.
"The horror-flick."
Silence.
"Nani?"
"Yeah, you heard me." Yui said and rolled her eyes.
"Y'see, if we watch the horror-flick first, all the nasty things will go away from our minds as we watch the chick-flick." Mayu reasons. We reach my bedroom and walk in.
"Sissies." I mutter under my breath, but let them watch the horror-flick first. Man, it sucked. I giggled like a maniac to the gore and "special effects" as my other friends seemed to be rather shaken up by the movie. Somewhere near the end we heard a strange noice in the kitchen. I swear, Yui and Mayu should loose weight, I was nearly crushed under these two girls. They jumped on me. Ow...
"W-what was that?" Mayu asks, frightened.
"I-I don't know!" Yui panicks and is cutting my air supply.
"Yui... Need... AIR!" I gasp and toss them both offa me.
"Kajitsu, go see what it is!"
"Why me!"
"Your house!"
"Fine!" I shout and grab my bo-stick. Just as I am at the door, I turn around.
"You know, the evil murderer usually sneaks on the girls that stay behind..." I trail off and smirk. A moment of silence, and another noise comes from downstairs.
"WAIT FOR US!" Victory!
As the girls walk closely behind me, holding the back of my shirt and me, clutching to the bo with my knuckles white. Well, I think so. Too dark to see, actually. My heart is beating faster than an exhausted shrew's, but I don't care, I have to be the brave one. We all walk (stumble) to the livingroom as quietly as possible and Yui fingers the lightswitch. I get ready to strike, as Yui flips the lightswitch. My swing hits the target, accompanied with a slight shout from me (HII-YAH!) and a groan from the target.
"Oww..."
Silence. Again.
"Wara? I mean, Shiranui-kun?"
"Man, that hurt..." He says and looks up from his place on the floor. "Then again, it might have been worth it."
"Hello! Remember me?" I hear someone say, and LO AND BEHOLD: As if my suffering could not increase any more, before me stood the same silver-haired guy who shares my... "Passion" for Come Come Paradise.
"...What are you two doing here?" Gimme the wrong answer, bub, and I shall smite thee down with my all-mighty bo-stick.
"Your parents hired us to look after you." Shiranui-kun said and got up, slightly rubbing his head. I smiled sheepishly, then turned back to the raving lunatic-mode.
"Then why in seven hells didn't you use the door?"
"I told you we should've used the door." My heroes, damnit.
"Eh, who were you again?" I asked and gestured towards the silver-haired jounin.
"Me? Hatake Kakashi." He answers and his eye reveals him grinning. I gesture him to follow and go to the kitchen. After making sure no one's hearing (aka, Mayu's harassing Shiranui-kun and Yui is trying to save him) I turn around and put my hands on his shoulders.
"Thank you for showing up when you did."
"Eh?"
"They were trying to torture me with a chick-flick." My answer resulted an amused nod from his part.
"Torture you!"
"Fuuck..." I groaned and slumped.
"You promised you'd watch it if you'd get that horror-movie of yours!" Mayu shouts and jumps on me. I struggle playfully.
"Ahh, a kodak-moment." Yui says from the doorway, smirking at me and Mayu. We stop, look at eachother, and then Yui. We both grin manically.
"No, wait, no, not now, please no..." Yui tries as Mayu and me start running towards her. She runs, but we tackle her down and begin an all-out tickle-war, much to the guy's pleasure, I believe. After we decided to end it (I managed to sit on both of them, hee hee!), we heard a knock from the door. I went ot open it, and saw the three kids I met earlier today, with backpacks slung on their shoulders, looking at me strangely.
"Slumber PARTY!" I heard Mayu shriek somewhere in the backround, and grimaced.
"Lemme guess, you're here in the mission to look after me for a week?" I asked and tried not to grab Mayu and throw her out.
"Hai!" The girl shouted.
"Okay, get in and change into your jammies, we're gonna have fun tonight." I said and gestured them in.
The sniveling and the constant tearing of paper were slowly making me nuts. Sakura (the kunoichi), Yui and Mayu were sitting infront of the TV, sobbing at the sappy romance movie. I snort and turn the page of my novel. After hitting page 88, I grew bored and stashed the book (don't ask me how) and walked to Shiranui-kun and Hatake-kun. They were playing Go. Man, Hatake-kun was loosing big time. I snickered as I watched Genma place another white stone.
"What?" Kakashi asked and looked at me.
"You're loosing badly."
"Oh, and I suppose you'd win this?"
"Even a novice could win this game. Scoot over."
"No."
"Genma? Can I help him?"
"Sure."
"Ya hear? Move."
"No."
"Fine." And with that, I sat on his lap and took a black stone, placing it on the board.
"What are you-"
"Helping you, now shush, I need to concentrate into kicking Shiranui-kun's ass."
"Oi, Kajitsu-chan, isn't too early to give him a lapdance?" I hear Yui shouting from in front of the TV. Don't even look at her, just flip her off and place another pebble on the goban. Genma raises an eyebrow at my move, and places his own. Back and forth, back and forth, the even clicking sound echoes in the (almost)silent house. I think we were playing for about 10 minutes, max, when I suddenly jump up and punch the air. Thank God nothing happened while I was sitting on Hatake-kun. I think... I hope.
"Ha! Victory! In your face Hatake! Hah!"
"SHHH!"
"Mou, you guys are no fun."
"We are trying to watch this movie, so shut it." Mayu shouts and remains glued in the screen. I stick my tongue out, and just then, Mayu turns around and shoots me a death-glare. I quickly tuck my tongue back into my mouth and just glare back. Mayu then turns back to the screen.
"I'll go get Tsume in."
... No response.
"I'll be going then."
... Nothing.
"Whatever." Grabbing my jacket and flipflops, I open the door and walk to the yard. About half-way to Tsume's house...
"OI!"
"YAARGH!" And I fell on my butt. In front of me was the blonde kid. Tsume rose from her place on the ground and peered at me curiously. Yeah, a real gal's best friend, willing to risk her life to defend mine.
"Damnit, kid, you scared me!"
"Sorry!" He looks really down, and I feel my conciense knocking in my head. Hah, bashing my brain with a sledgehammer is more like it.
"It's okay." I said and walked to Tsume. I unhooked her leash from the doghouse and patted her head.
"So what were you doing outside?" I asked and looked at the blonde boy, Naruto.
"I was scouting for enemy ninja!"
"Heh, good to know you're eagar to protect me." Naruto smiles, and I ruffle his hair. I can't help it, the kid's like the little brother I never had.
"Tell you what, since that sappy movie might have ended already, I'll make some food for us?"
"Okay!"
"And you're gonna decide what we're having."
"Really?"
"Yup."
"Can you do ramen?"
"Name the flavour and I can cook it."
"Yay! Thank you!" Naruto jumped on me and hugged me. I hugged back and grinned. He's so adorable! Little did I know that someone was watching us from a crystal ball, smiling...
"Yui, Mayu! Huddle!" I shout and let my dear dog run loose in the house. She jumps and tackles Hatake-kun under her body. I snicker and recieve a really nasty glare from him, which I counter by sticking my tongue out. Yui and Mayu arrive (with tears in their eyes. Seriously, why do they keep torturing themselves with these movies?) and we huddle together to think about what to do.
"I promised Naruto-kun we'd cook ramen."
"Where are we sob going to cook?" Mayu asks. I hand her a hankie, which she takes.
"Well, the restaurant kitchen is always open..." The mischievous twinkle in my eyes is soon copied by my friend's, and we straighten up.
"Okay, everyone! Follow me!" I shout and start to walk towards the restaurant-part of our house.
