A/N: Hey! It's Tenshi here again. Here's the fourth installment of my story And, to all of you readers, I have decided NOT to add any chapters into this story, unless I get a minimum of 2 reviews. Not much to ask, right? Well, have fun!
Disclaimer: Oh, bollocks, you know this shit already. TT
"Oi, Kajitsu-san!" I heard someone say. I moaned and shifted in my sleep. I clutched to my pillow and went back to sleep.
"Oi!" Or not. I cracked open my eye and waited my vision to clear up just a little bit. I looked, and right infront of me was Kakashi.
"Can you give me my arm back?" I looked down and... OH MY GOD! I snapped up and let go of his arm. I found myself sleeping on my livingroom sofa. I looked around, a faint blush on my cheeks.
"... How the heck did I get here?"
"You walk in your sleep." Kakashi bluntly said and rubbed his arm.
"You nearly cut off my circulation."
"Oh. Sorry." I swung my legs to the floor and scratched the back of my head while yawning. I looked at the clock nearby. 7:26. I let myself fall down again, accompanied with a slight grunt. Kakashi looked at me strangely.
"How can some people be up willingly at this time of the morning?" I groaned and pushed myself up once again.
"Not much of a morningperson, are you?" He asked. I didn't answer, just gave him the mother-of-all-deathglares-to-end-all-deathglares, and I swear, he scooted a good 2 inches away from me.
"I'm going to train." I mumbled and stood up, braiding my messy hair and took a small elastic band from a table. I walked upstairs, and to my closet. I grabbed my training-outfit: a black tanktop (never ever EVER use white colors when training!) and black sweatpants. I quickly changed into them and grabbed my bo. I sauntered to a small dojo-type room and took a stance. I did a few simple attacks, parried, jumped, ducked, rolled, kicked, punched, did some shadow-boxing (for those who don't know, I just hit air), kicked and punched a punchingbag, trained with a dao and sais. After I completed a complex combo of flips, slashes, rolls and thrusts and ended it with a yell, I felt someone behind me. I turned around and began attacking this person behind me, forcing him or her to back up. Sound of metal hitting metal echoed in the room, and I did a backflip and landed on a defensive position. The person behind me was Uchiha-kun. I collapsed onto the mat, breathing heavily and sweat running from practically every pore of my skin. Uchiha-kun smirked at me.
"Don't... Sneak... Up... On... Me... When... I'm... Training..." I breathed out and tried to stand up. No result. I cursed inwardly for driving myself too hard, and made a mental note not to do this again.
"You're weak." He commented.
"Fuck you kid, I'm just a regular person, not a ninja. So basically, I'm stronger than your average, NORMAL person!" I shouted at him, and he looked somewhat taken back by my outburst, but regained his cool composure.
"Whatever. Breakfast is ready." He said and turned around, walking out of the door. I once again tried to get up, to no avail. I cursed with every damn curse I could think of and layed there, sprawled all over the floor. I think I layed there for about five minutes until someone else came in. It was Mayu.
"Mayu! Drink! Need! NOW!" I slurred and tried to swallow. Mayu just looked at me.
"Not again!" She asked/shouted and I grimaced. Oh no, not this again...
"I have told you time and again that you should know when to stop, when to let it be, but do you listen? NooOOoo, you just keep going! You should've learned your limitations by now! Haven't I told you that you shouldn't sparr at all? You should take a hobby that doesn't HURT YOU IN EVERY TURN!" She screamed at me. During her speech, I had rolled onto my stomach, and I was slowly crawling towards a waterbottle. As I reached it, I grabbed it, rolled back on my back and let the cool water flow down my parched throath, slowly reviving me.
"You stink. And in the ew-you-smell-meaning." She finally said.
"Thank you, captain Obvious." I muttered sarcastically and steadied myself on a wall, sitting against it. After drinking half of the bottle, I found enough strenght to get myself up. I still had to steady myself to a wall, though. My every freakin' muscle was currently mauling my brain and yelling "FUCK YOU I'm outta here!" very loudly. In lamemans terms: My body was aching all over. Mayu looked at me concerned, but I told her to go already. I limbed to the livingroom, and into the diningroom. Everyone looked at me, Uchiha-kun smirked at me and Yui-chan sighed and massaged her temples.
"Not again?"
"Yea, again and DON'T" I said when she opened her mouth to say something. "... Start the lecture, Mayu-chan gave me one. I'm hitting the showers." I turned around and after taking two steps, my legs gave up on me. I fell down with a thud, and grunted again. I felt someone putting his (I assumed it's a "he", since the arm was kinda... Well, more muscular than a female-arm) arm around me, taking my arm and putting it around his shoulders and lifted me up. I looked at the man. It was Kakashi-kun again. I raised an eyebrow at him but he ignored it.
"I'll help her to the bathroom, I'll be back in a few." We walked out of the kitchen (stumbled, fell and limbed in my case) and when we got far enough, I decided to ask.
"Why are you helping me? Not that I mind, but..."
"Why? Well... Maybe you can let me read Come Come Paradise later?" He asked and his visible eye showed that he was smiling. I hung my head in defeat.
"Is that all?" I asked in an irritated voice.
"Well, you looked like you needed help. Besides, I saw you training. Tomorrow will be pure hell for you."
"Don't remind me." I grumbled and put my hand on a doorhandle. I opened the door and Kakashi helped me in. He sat me down on the toilet, and just stood there. I looked at him.
"I can't take my clothes off if you're watching."
"Okay!" He turned around, his back facing me. And the eye twitched, again...
"GET OUT YOU PERVERTED SCARECROW!" I screamed and surprised the jounin with the sudden downpour of shampoo-bottles, mugs and various other hygiene-products, and with a large basin. I found enough strenght to push him out of the bathroom and closed the door, locking it. I steady myself against the door, and sigh. Sheesh. I look around, just to be on the safe side. I glance at the window. It has some weird plastic over it, it dims and distorts the view so that you can barely see through it. I turned on the shower, and again waited it to be the right temperature. I slipped in, with many ow's, whines and grunts. The warm water soothed my aching body a little, but it only took the edge off of the pain. It didn't take it away completely. At all. I enjoyed the warm water, and never wanted to leave. Alas, I had to. I closed it and got out of the shower. Thank God I had clean clothes hidden in the bathroom for these occasions. I put on clean underwear, and took out the pants. Simple, black, sweatpants with white trimming and pockets. I also took out a black tank-top with "Warning! If you can read this, you're too close!" Printed on it in small text and in red, across my chest. I dried my hair with the blowdrier, cracking my new hairbrush into the action. I got it decently dry and put it on a high ponytail. I drape my towel out to dry and open the window with great difficulty. I open the door and look to the ground. All the bath-products were assembled into the basin I threw out aswell. I smile slightly and lift it up, placing it on the clothwasher. I limp out of the bathroom, and go downstairs. I see Yui on the couch, Mayu on the floor playing with Tsume and Naruto. Sakura is next to Yui, and the others are no where in sight. Yui looks up from the book she was reading.
"Feeling better?" She asked and smiled at me.
"A little bit, but I still feel like I've been swimming in a tub of starch." I joke and limb to the phone. It's about time mom would call... Ring! Ring! Bingo. I pick up the reciever.
"Moshi-moshi?"
"Hi dear! It's mom! How are you?"
"I'm fine. How's the visit?" I ask and sit on a chair next to the table.
"Oh it's fine! We're having so much fun! Could you believe it? Your cousin Aiko..." Mom babbled on about the family for ever, and I placed some uh-huh's, hmm's and oh's in. Eventually, I decided to ask her.
"Mom, why did you get two jounin and three genin to watch over me and the girls?" There was a slight pause.
"I'm sorry if we scared you dear, but we're still a little shaken up by the War of Sound. We just want you to be safe." She says and I feel a lot safer.
"Okay mom. I know you do. So when were you coming back?"
"We were thinking next thursday. Is that okay?" Mom asks.
"Yeah, you own this house, come and go as you please." I said and smiled. Mom laughed.
"Oh, your father wants to say something." I heard a faint rustle in the background.
"Kiki?"
"Hai, sore-ga watashi desu." I said and laughed a bit. Dad has called me Kiki as long as I can remember.
"How is it?"
"It's fine, dad. Me and the girls are holding a small slumber-party."
"Okay. There's..."
"Money in the top drawer. Yeah dad, I know. Oh, and, uh, I trained too hard again." I hear dad make a sound that was something like a sigh mixed with a chuckle.
"Again?"
"Yeah."
"Well, if you feel that you can't go to work tomorrow..."
"No, it's okay, I'm getting used to it."
"Okay. But you know where to call if you do."
"Yeah. Give mom a kiss from me, okay?"
"I will. See you later!"
"Laters!" I hang up the phone and smile to myself. I get up and go back to the livingroom. No one has really moved, Kakashi-kun and Shiranui-kun are back, along with Uchiha-kun. I wobble to Tsume and pet her. I grimace as I sit down, but I refuse to give in to the terrible pain!
"Yui-chan, Mayu-chan, we need to go shopping. And looking for jobs, our old ones are ending after next week."
"True. But I don't want to work where we always do." Mayu said and patted Tsume.
"Yeah, but where are we going to get any jobs?" Yui reasoned and closed her book.
"Well..." Shiranui-kun started and we all turned to him. Tsume started a tug-o-war with Naruto. She was winning.
"There are few jobs at the academy you could take. Secretaries, librarians, substitute teachers and errand-runners." Shiranui-kun listed and looked at us. We looked at eachother and smiled. Mayu bounced up and hugged Shiranui-kun.
"Thank you so much for the tip, Shiranui-kun!" She smiled and Shiranui-kun blushed. I looked at Yui, who grinned at me. I grinned back as Mayu turned to us.
"Come on, let's go! Before anyone else gets the jobs!" She grabbed my arm and tugged me up. Owie.
"Owch! Mayu!"
"Oh! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" She said and looked apologetic.
"It's okay." I said and smiled warmly. I glanced at Kakashi-kun, and saw that he was reading the new volume of Come Come Paradise. I looked at the cover, and saw a sticker on it: "Property of Kaba Kajitsu". He didn't...
"Kakashi-kun? Why are you reading my book?" I asked and approached him.
"Eh? Well, I thought this would be a nice pay for escorting you to the bathroom." He said and looked a bit flustered. I went to grab it, but he yanked it away.
"It's mine. I was reading it." I said in a venomous tone.
"Well I'm reading it now." He said and looked at it from a funny angle. He chuckled at something in the book. That did it. I took off some speed, put my left hand on his right shoulder and jumped. I easily grabbed the book, but there were few downsides: One: My body reminded me about how PAINFUL it was to move. Two: My , uh... Womanly assets were pressed against his face. I realized this too late, and grabbed the book, sliding down, taking a few steps back and covering my breasts, blushing beet-red. I feel so violated...! He was still in his position, hand held up and one in his pocket. He blinked, and...
SPLOOOSH!
He got a nosebleed. He tried to pinch his nose to stop it, but it took both of his hands to actually achieve the result he wanted.
"Oh come ON! It wasn't that great!" I shouted and looked away from him, still shielding my breasts. Oh, what a fun day this was turning out to be...
"Kakashi, is that blood on your mask?"
"What happened, dude?"
Kakashi's ninja-friends decided to ask about the blood on his mask. He would not tell them, he would not tell them, he would so not tell them...!
"Well, it involved a pretty girl, her body and the latest issue of Come Come Paradise..." He started. And I was not going to let him finish it, so I punched him, hard.
"You stole my book, damnit!" Why that- Wait, did he say I was pretty? I felt my face heat up. Just a little. Kakashi's friends looked at my... Chest to see if it was really there. Kakashi slowly got up.
"That was uncalled for..." He muttered and rubbed his head.
"Fuck uncalled, you stole my book! And I can't believe you found it either!" I shouted again, glaring at him.
"Where did you hide it?" Mayu asked.
"... Meh undrerdrawrr..." I mumbled and felt my face heat up.
"Your underweardrawer?" Yui asked and arched her eyebrow at Kakashi.
"Say it a bit louder, why don't'cha?" I asked and clasped my hands on my cheeks, to dim down the blush. I heard sounds of slapping.
"Kakashi, you're brilliant!"
"Way to go, dude!" They are congratulating him? They are congratulating him? Why I oughtta... I slowly turned my head around to see the ninjas. Man, my deathglares are really powerful: They all took a step or two away from me. I turned around completely, and sighed, shoving my hands into my jacket pockets.
"Well, he did learn something today..." I said and eyed the ninjas.
"Huh?" Kakshi asked and looked at me. I put on my cutest i'm-so-delicate-face you can possibly think of.
"I'm softer than I look." I winked and turned to my friends. I grinned ferally, as a familiar sound reached my ears.
Sploosh!
"Help!"
"Kakashi, dude! Speak to me!"
"He's loosing blood!"
Sploosh!
"Now Inari has it too!" My friends looked at me as we high-fived.
"You're evil."
"I knooow... He started it anyways." And we three walked to the waiting room infront of the Hokage's office.
Dear loveable-M: Now do you see why Genma's there? Kajitsu has such nice parents...
Well, that was that. Read and Review! This has been another episode of:
