Disclaimer: ... Do we really need to go through this? AGAIN?
On to the answers of the reviews:
Dear TheInflictedFinger: Thank you so much for your review! It helped me more than you think: It helped me out of my writer's block! Thankyouthankyouthankyou! I'm glad you like this fic! People like you always make it worth writing this!
"So you are all applying for small jobs here in the academy?" The Hokage, Tsunade-sama asked and looked at us. We nodded.
"Yeah, it gets a little boring if you sit in the bookstore in the village, no offence to Kaede-san." Mayu said and I nodded. Tsunade smiled.
"So what jobs would you like?"
"Umm, I'm kinda the bookworm-type, so I could be either a librarian or a substitute teacher of things that don't require any use of chakra." I said and pointed at my self.
"I'm too hyper all the time, so I need to be on the move. A errand-girl, perhaps?" Mayu said, and sounded too mature for her personality.
"I need a human contact." Yui said as her only criteria, and Tsunade nodded. She shuffled some papers and pulled out three. She handed us the forms.
"Those can be arranged. Toya Yui-san, you can be my secretary. I need one, badly. Hanahime Mayu-san, we have a spot open for an inner-mail carrier. And Kaba Kajitsu-san, we currently need a librarian, and if we need a substitute teacher, we'll let you know. Fill those, give them back, and I hope to see you after next week." She said and smiled at us warmly. You know, it's really hard to think that this woman is actually over 50 years. I was filling my slip, and began chewing the end of my pen.
Shuffle, shuffle, scritcha-scritcha...
What the fuuck? I heard something. I glance around to see if anyone else heard it. Mayu and Yui both give me a look of "we-heard-it-too". I glance at Tsunade, and she gives a small, barely noticable nod towards a wallpanel. I secretly glance at it, straining my eyes and trying to get the best from my glasses. I saw small lines that indicated a secret, revolving door was the thing I was looking at. I heard some shuffling around from inside the panel. I didn't mind the fact that we were being watched, but...
"Will you guys SHUT UP?" I shouted, very, very annoyed and threw my pen towards the wallpanel with a quick flick of my hand. And I regretted it immedietly. Ow my arm, the pain, the paaaain... The pen actually penetrated the wood on the door and just... Was there, stuck in the door. I heard a yelp and reckognised it. My eye twitched again.
"Naruto-kun, what are you doing?" I asked and the panel revolved, making Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke fall on the ground. They all grinned sheepishly (save Sasuke) and I stood up (with some difficulty) and crossed my arms.
"Go before I go kung-fu on you." I said and glared.
"You can't. You're too sore." Sasuke said and seemed to be triumphant of his remark. Oh-ho, so that's the way you wanna play, eh?
"Did you notice something funny this morning, when you woke up?" I asked and smirked at his expression. It was the very epitome of pure horror. He was still holding Sakura's hand when I woke up in my livingroom couch. Aww...
" 'Cuz I think other people might wanna hear about it." I continued, and my grin got wider, if possible. He stared at me in shock, grabbed both his teammates and bolted right out of the door, ignoring their protests. Well, I think Sakura had no protests, Uchiha was practically hugging her. I turned back to the other women in the room, smiling like an idiot.
"What happened this morning?" Yui questioned with the 'tell-me-or-die' look.
"Due certain aspects of my situation, I am forced to hold any information concidering this morning as a secret." I said and lifted my left palm so that it was facing them.
"Aand just why is that?" Yui asked, scarily advancing at me, eyes narrowed and crackling her knuckles. Eep.
"Because Uchiha-kun will slaughter me in many, many, horrible ways."
"And I won't?"
"Uh, good point..." I answered, slowly shrinking into nothingness as Yui seemed to grow. I heard Mayu telling Tsunade-sama "Not to worry, this is absolutely normal!" In cheery, sickeningly sweet voice, and so, they both settled to watch us. Goddamnit, women, I need help!
"TELL. ME. NOW." Yui growled at me. I swear, I just saw her battle-aura flare up like a small, furry... Thingamajicl drenched in oil, thrown into a pile of wood also drenched in oil and a match thrown in. It was not nice, folks! Scary as ever!
"Eh, uh, y'see, uh... Look, a flying pig!" I said and pointed at a random spot behind her. I have no idea why people keep falling for that, but hey, not complaining! As she turned around, I sprinted out of the room, as fast as my body allowed, and began running through the corridors. It was not long until I heard a warcry and a faint 'crash'. Uh, I think Tsunade-sama needs a new office door... No matter, breaking the door slowed her down.
"Doke! Doke! This is a matter of life and death!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, dodging ninjas and random staff. After reaching a door, I swung it open and closed it behind me, locking it. Fingers crossed she didn't see that!
WHAM! WHAM! Damnit!
"Open up, Kiki, I just want to talk to you!" I heard Yui's falsly sweet voice from other side of the door. You know, the falsly sweet voice with a murderous undertone?
"No!" I shouted and looked around. Guess what room this is? Yeah, a jounin-chuunin-breakroom. Greeeaaat... Guess who were there? Uh-huh, Kakashi and Genma, along with other people I didn't know, and all the eyes were on me as I tried to block the door.
"Heey, how ya doin'?" I asked and waved my hand in a wide half-circle and as another series of whams shook the door, I had to put it back and lean into the door, just incase, ya know?
"Umm... Having a problem, there?" Kakashi asked. I see he cleaned his mask... My face had a 'no DUH!' look on it, and he nodded.
"Who did you piss off this time?" He asked and looked at me lazily.
"Well, came close to pissing off Uchiha, but in the end, pissed off Yui-chan." I said and smiled sweetly.
"Ooh, Kiikiii...!" She shouted and I felt as her assilants towards the door became more violent. Oh my God, she's kicking the door! PANICK! I quickly ran away from the door, and ended up near some windows. I opened one, and looked down. Amen, a ledge! I jumped on it, just in time, too. The door was beginning to crack open. I ran on the ledge, and saw a tree. I launched myself at the nearest branch, my body nearly collapsing from the constant stinging and pain, and began to climb down it. I, eventually, reached the ground, and fell down with a thud. I groaned and swore, again, and saw a hole near a building, between two buildings, infact. It was covered by shrubbery, so I crawled in, barely fitting. Oh well, any harbour's good in a storm... I leaned against the wall, covered by shadows and the all-mighty shrubbery. I tried to even my breath and take my heart into control again. God damn, Yui is so scary when she's angry...
As I kept my
eyes towards the tree and the ground through the shrubbery, I felt a
hand pressed against my mouth. I let out a startled and muffled
'eep!' and my jumpy gaze fell on the 'assilant'. Three guesses who it
was? Anyone? Hm? Yeah, that's right, it was Kakashi. Insert a big,
fat, WTF here. I looked at him weirdly, silently questioning
what the heck was he doin' here. He lifted his left index-finger up,
around to the area where his mouth should be. He then put his
middle-finger up, along with his index-finger, and closed his eye.
Now, I'm not that familiar with the use of this 'chakra' these ninjas
play with, but I think I reckognise it when someone's using it. It's
kinda this giddy, tingly and itching feeling that surrounded me. I
could tell that he was concentrating, I could sense it. Suddenly, I
heard footsteps. Oh, please don't let Yui find me,
ohpleaseohpleaseohplease...! She came near my hiding-place, moved the
shrubbery, and stared right at the spot where I was. Oh GOD! NO! I'm
too young to die and j
ust where the heck is she going? She just
released the shrubbery and went on her merry way. I glanced at
Kakashi-then Yui's retreating back, then Kakashi, Yui's back,
Kakashi, just empty air where Yui used to be... I felt Kakashi
loosening the grip over my mouth and he lowered his left hand. Did I
mention, the gap between the buildings was barely 3 feet? I
understood that I fitted in, but how he squeezed himself in was
beyond my comprehension. Eh, must be a ninja-thing. But it was still
rather... Uncomfortable by the closeness in this small rathole
I called safe-haven.
"What the hell?" I hissed and looked at Kakashi. He just glanced at me.
"Well, it still is my duty to protect you from any harm that might come to you..." He stated, talking to me like I was an idiot.
Silence.
I smacked my fist to my palm.
"Oh yeah!" I hissed out and Kakashi slapped his forehead, and then looked up as if praying patience from the gods. Hey, I'm not that hopeless!
... Right?
... Right?
"Hrm, Kakashi? You wouldn't happen to know a pressure-point that would make these muscle-ache go away?" I asked, clearing my throath. He looked at me and poked my shoulder, which, by the way, was painful as hell after I played monkey in that tree as I protected my poor soul from Yui's wrath, and I decided to return the favour by kicking his shin.
"Owch." He muttered and rubbed his sore shin.
"Yah, ditto over here." I said and pointed at myself.
"And as for your question, I do, but considering it's in a place you won't allow me to reach, I'd better take you to Tsunade." He said and turned completely towards me.
"Hey, what are you- EEP!" And there I was, on his arms (again) and on my way to Tsunade's office. She'd better heal me, too, or else...
There. Remembah, I live and feed on reviews. Don't kill me in starvation! o.o
