Here's a quick recollection of last time, and another chapter, it's slightly short..butI'm fine with it! R/R..and thanks to those who did so last chapter.
"No, She needs rest, is all.." Kakashi had done the same, and hadn't realized Sheiri had done it too, until he had looked. "As do I.." The last thing he heard was the sound of Naruto's voice, "Kakashi-Sensei!"
------Chapter two-------
Sheiri woke up, looking around, her eye covered once more. Kakashi was in a bed near her, it seemed he awoke a few minutes before. She sat up quietly, and gave a small yawn, then strech. Her body still hurt, yes, but like she'd show weakness..not that fainting doesn't constitute as weakness..Well, anywho.. Sheiri got about ten seconds; which she used to give Him a blink, then a small smile, before that voice was heard, and she was jumped on mercilously.
"Mommy! You're alive!" Shakara yelled, practically choking her to death, with a few trembling shakes. "I thought you were dead..and Kashi too..Then that weird boy came..and they rest of the village..and they said--"
Sheiri zoned out somewhat, with a mixture of exhaustion, and..well, her daughter just got done trampling her..she was sort of hurt...beat, would be a better word. Shakara was also talking at about Mach five, and it seemed even Kakashi decided staring at the ceiling would be more productive. Sheiri looked over, she was stil mumbling..something about how Akiro carried her to this place, she blinked once, but said nothing. Shakara even made a point to grab her shoulders and shake, asking if she was listening. Sheiri flinched slightly, recalling a wound in that area, then nodded.
Shakara's faced turned a bit pale, eyeing the wound, " You're hurt! Sorry, I didn't know!" Sheiri waved it away, giving a half smile as she said it was okay.
She rubbed her temples as Shakara climbed off of her, "How long..Have I been in this bed?..A day?" she heard a light snigger, and a small woman came in, about 20 or so.
"Try at least three, That man has been on and off...I was came in, and he was reading.." She gave a small shake of her head, with what Sheiri thought to be a faint blush, which made Sheiri chuckle somewhat, but it soon faded once weariness struck..
"Kakashi-Sensei! how are you feeling!" A boy came in..Yellow hair, spiked somewhat..highly annoying voice as well..sounded like a dying rabbit..Naruto, being her guess.
"Naruto, what are you doing here?" Replied Kakashi, as he looked somewhat amused, but yet still slightly annoyed. "I know I'm your Sensei, but you don't need to be there everytime I get injured..." He heard a small laugh, but just kind of sat there.
"Kakashi-Sensei! I saved your life! Believe it! Don't I get a thanks or something?" He paused a moment, then added, "And I saved your Woman! That should be bonus!"
Shakara took this time to make a small interference, "You Baka! You didn't do anything except yell his name! Akiro and that lady did the work! The only thing you need is a swift kick in the--"
Quick reflexes, thank god, Sheiri covered her mouth, "Shakara, don't finish that sentence!" She gave a small grin, but kept a somewhat serious look, holding the flailing daughter of hers.
"You said it!" She replied after uncovering her mouth, breathing somewhat hard.
"One time!"
"Nu'uh! You've said plenty of those kind of words..and some really gross ones with Father, I did hear you two, you know!"
Sheiri blinked, her face turning an embarassed shade, " Shakara, shush! Go to bed, or something!"
Shakara blinked, "It's..morning?"
"Shakara, perhaps you and Naruto can get yourselves a bowl of Ramen..Since you two enjoy it so much?" Kakashi chimed in, avoiding laughing.
Shakara blinked at him, then Naruto, and they both nodded, taking off out the door. "Get some rest, you two.." said the woman, giving Kakashi a small wink before leaving, shuting the doors behind. Sheiri listened for the footsteps to fade, and once they did, she burst out in laughter, though it hurt somewhat.
Kakashi blinked, then eyed her curiously, "What's wrong with you?" Dumb question, but hey, he had to ask.
Sheiri stopped, givng a small wave, "Ah, nothing..She winked at you..it was just..funny?"
Kakashi snickered somewhat, "Slightly, I suppose, but I must rate you and Shakara's performance better..I mean, I've never seen anyone turn so red so quickly."
She put her hands behind her head, then laid back, giving a small snicker, "Yeah, but I could've sworn we were quiet..er..."
Gah, he didn't want to hear this! "Anyway, You have no idea why those men were after you?"
She thought for a moment, giving a concentrating sort of look, she was hiding a few details, but he couldn't tell. She shook her head, a convincing shake too, "No, sorry..I've never seen either of them, actually." She got up, sitting up at first, then coming to a stand. "Ah, yes..I should teach today.."
"Hey, bakas.sit down, listen, what are you? Seven?" She stared at her little genins, giving a sigh. She had to use crutches, so as to balance her body out, but was actually getting a bit better at just using one. "Now, we're going to do a bit of..well, just physical today, alright? No, stop whining, get over it." the little Genin started to whine, but the little boy seemed to have an ego, because he was the first to want to attack her. She merely grabbed his fist, and threw him to the ground, sitting atop of him. "No, bad student, you're supposed to watch first, little one. This is why I am the teacher, you the student.."
He grunted somewhat, then started to freak out, "Get off me fatty!"
She blinked, "Fatty? Really, I had thought I was pretty good sized..maybe I should go on a diet.." She shrugged, placing a firm foot on the back of his head, adding pressure to make it look as if he was kissing the grass. "Ah, I may be fat, but I'm not the one on the ground." she crossed her arms, she may have been slightly worn out, but she could still move quickly.
The girls were laughing at the boy, and he looked embarrassed beyond usual. "Getteroffmeguys!" he yelled, inhaling sand while talking. The girls merely blinked, and shook their heads.
"We're not that stupid! She's much too strong!"
"Yeah! What she said!"
Sheiri sighed lightly, "You two..need to get somewhat braver, you know. Is that what you're going to do on missions? Tell you're teammate you can't fight, because the enemy is stronger?" she clicked her tongue in a dissappointed way, "Much to learn..I congratulate this boy, he's got some guts.." she took her foot off the boy, picking him up and giving him a small wink, "Thanks for being an example.." she heard muttering, and saw a hint of blushing. "Anywho, back to the point of this little conversation..You're not fighting me, my dear little ninjas..you're fighting another team..Team 7..to be exact."
"We have to fight these..losers! their so weak!..I'll beat 'em all! Believe it!" that familiar voice, her eye twitched lightly, and Naruto appeared from the trees, followed by Sasuke, and Sakura.
Predictable..the next thing Sheiri knows, there's a little giggle, and blush from Hitaya. "We're going to fight..them?" She was specifically eyeing Sasuke, and Sheiri sighed.
Shakara seemed the normal, quiet one currently, she was just leaning against a tree, leg propped up, "Yes, we are, okay? Now, remember, you can't kill someone by giggling..and staring, got it?" Hitaya stuck out her tongue at the girl, and Shakara snickered, "I'd cut it off, you know.."
Sheiri gave a small chuckle, then assigned battle partners. "Shakara, Sasuke..eh, Sakura..you take Kyugo..and erm, who's left again?"
Naruto nearly fell over, as well as Hitaya, "I Have to fight..her? you've gotta be joking!"
Sheiri snickered lightly, "Hey, she can..fight..I hope." she blinked, then shrugged. "Well, anywho, let's go, you people can do this. Just. Don't hurt each other too much." She gave a symbol to start, and they did, Shakara and Sasuke first, following with Naruto, and then Sakura.
Sheiri sat down near a tree, staring at them. Shakara and Sasuke seemed to really get into this, while the others weren't exactly..hurting each other. Sheiri blinked at Sasuke, who had landed a knee in Shakara's stomach, and which, she reflexed with a fist into his. Sheiri blanked out though, as thoughts creeped into her mind. Why had they come after her once again, she was sure they had been after Aruka. Was she a threat as well? She'd find out soon, for they would be back, eventually. She thought for a good hour or so, then got stopped..
"Watch it Naruto!"
"Shuddup Sasuke!"
"Oof!"
Sheiri snapped out of it, staring at the scene, Sakura and Hitaya's mouths were gaped open, as if to see a ghost. "Shakara! What the hell--" Sasuke seemed to have found a way on top of Shakara, and they were practically kissing!
Shakara blinked, staring at Sasuke..Naruto laughing somewhere near. Sasuke got off her, staring at Naruto, "Naruto! You did that un-purpose!" ..and, was that..Sheiri's eye blinked, Sasuke was..blushing!
Naruto blinked, "Did not! Believe it!"
Sheiri sat there for a minute, everyone was staring at her, as if she was going to explode or something..when they blinked a few times, sheiri held up a finger, looking angrily at Sasuke...and..Laughed. "Hey, C'mon, you guys acted like i was gonna kill him..I remember my first kiss..it was very nice, actually." She stood up, looking down at them, "You see, Ka--"
She was, of course, interrupted. "Sheiri, I don't think they want to hear this..really.." Kakashi laughed lightly, yet, nervously. "Let's just..erm..My teams dismissed.."
Sheiri gave a smirk, then nodded, "Fine, mine as well..have a good..day..and such." the kids left, and she gave a small laugh, eyeing him. "I thought you were resting.."
Kakashi nodded, "Was, being the key word..why would you detail that?" He asked, staring at her.
"Well, i just wanted to see their faces, personally...but you had to interrupt, didn't you?" She walked toward the village, leaving the crutches..she actually felt pretty alright now. He seemed to be fine as well, for he didn't even have crutches himself. She crosed her arms behind her head, giving a shrug. "You're group seems..unique..mine, on the other hand.." She gave a sigh, looking over at him. "They're going to need work..what do they teach them in the Academy? How to be annoying?"
"Not very much, but it is useful.." He looked over at her, she seemed to be staring straight ahaed, with somewhat a raised brow. He looked toward that direction, only to see Akiro standing there, staring straight at her..that grin, was one thing Kakashi didn't like much..but it soon vanished, as Akiro looked over at Kakashi once they drew wiiithin reach of each other.
Akiro stared at him for a few seconds, then loooked over at Sheiri, who seemed to have her arms crossed over her chest, and was staring blankly at him, "Sheiri..and Kakashi..It's a pleasure..and such." Sheiri gave a small nod, and Kakashi did as well, he continued to talk. "Erm, Sheiri, I was wondering about having a word? Us, only..Preferably?"
She gave an absent blink, then shrugged, "Erm, yes, of course.." She gave Kakashi a small wave. "I'll see you then.." She gave a wild smile, then started to walk with Akiro.
Akiro gave a small smirk, then looked over at her, "Nice day.." She gave a blant nod, just wanting to know what he wanted. "You needed something?" He frowned a bit..So much for making conversation.."Yes, Would you like to go out sometime?"
She laughed lightly, "You couldn't ask this in front of Kakashi?" He nodded, "Well, I much figured the man liked you..so I went better not to get in fights today.."
Sheiri gave a small laugh, "Ah, not exactly..He wouldn't fight over me, we're friends, you see..not much more than that.." Akira gave a small grin, but only nodded after. "So..What do you say? You know, I had thought you had a boyfriend.."
"He's dead, got in the way of a Kunai..It was an accident.." Sheiri felt her heart tinge, "Mere accident.." As if she'd tell this man the truth..her own turned against her..she wanted to kill him..
"I thought I had recognized you..Sheiri." They came near a small hut, and sheiri stopped nearby a tall tree. "Excuse?" He grinned, "I knew you looked familiar..It's me..Shiro.."
Instant reaction, she pulled a Kunai from her leg pocket, digging it into his arm. He was caught by surpirise, but pulled it out quickly, "You..little.." She gave him a cold stare, "Do you honestly think I was blind to what you had done?" She grabbed his arm, apparently stronger than she must've looked, because she threw him against the tree. "You killed him! In cold blood! I saw who had thrown that Kunai!" He only gave a grin, "Ah, but it was an accident, you said yourself.." She growled slightly, pulling out another, gripping it in her hand before going for his other arm. He quickly grabbed her hand, only a cracking noise before the Kunai dropped. She felt pain in her hand, and attempted to move it, with massive failure. He had broken her hand. She pulled her arm in, hiding the hand quickly. "I've been studying human anatomy..I just broke your hand, and I could do the other as well..or perhaps a leg?" Sheiri still had his neck, and gave it a squeeze, but he gave a small chuckle, grabbing her hand and pulling it down. "Now, you won't truly kill me..after all, you're just doing what I did. You're..boyfriend got in the way..I'm going to have to kill you, just let it be done already.."
