Kakashi woke up with a jolt

"Aino whats wrong?!"

Even though it was pitch black in the room when Aino heard his voice she leaps in to his arms causing him to fall back.

"Kakashi I'm so glad your alright."

She said not realizing it was all a dream.

"Of course I'm alright."

He said with a hint of a chuckle in his voice.

Aino didn't hear him she was to busy crying

"Why did you scream and...why are you so sweaty?"

Aino froze then pushes herself from Kakashi

'Oh man what do I do? I can tell him. Can I?'

she wondered.

"I was um well I was. I just had a bad dream thats all."

She said trying to cover up the truth.

Kakashi tries to sit next to her but Aino moves farther away each time.

"You know it helps if you tell someone."

He said.

'I cant tell him but even if I don't tell him know that he knows me, this whole village is doomed. I can just start out small and work my way up, but what if he hates me after I tell him. What will I do next?'

Aino was pulling her hair, grinding her teeth and sighing while deciding what to do.

While Aino was thinking of away to tell him, Kakashi when to his closet and dragged out a black t-shirt.

"Here."

He said throwing the shirt Ainos way

"you might want to change in to something a little less damp."

the shirt landing on her head knocked her out of her thoughts. Thats when she realized she was covered in sweat from head to toe. Her hair and clothes felt like it was super glued to her skin.

"Thanks Kakashi"

was all she could say.

Aino went in the bathroom to change then came out to see Kakashi lying down asleep again. She sat down by him and looked at the floor

"its becoming a habit for me." Aino said.

Kakashi didn't open his eyes or turn around to face her, he just simply said "what is? The nightmares?"

Aino just nodded her head but knowing Kakashi wouldn't see is she said "yes"

"It happens to the best of us. Do you want to tell me about it?"

"I do but I don't" her voice cracked.

Kakashi rose up and met his eye with hers. The way he looked at her was a cross between never had a good-nights rest and pissed off. Ainos hands squeeze around the edge of her-kakashi's-shirt

"when I was little my father was always away but when I see him I would tell him everything that happened. Once when I told him about a night mare I had he just said

"My little blossom nightmares are just another way of becoming stronger. As long as you tell your self its not real you will have nothing to fear but just fear itself."

For some odd reason that helped me, five years later my father died. The funny thing about it was that was what my dream was about."

Kakashi was shocked. Aino looked at him for a minute then continued.

"This time I had a dream that you, Naruto, Sakura and, Sasuke were killed."

"And you're afraid that it may come true."

Kakashi finished.

"Yeah"

Aino affirmed.

"Dont worry, my team and I are strong, we can hold our own no problem. Now lets go back to bed."

Aino just looked at him to the bed she was sleeping in then back.

"Well, I, um, I was wondering if it be OK if we could share the sleeping bag I'm still a little unsure."

Kakashi glance at her with a little blush.

"I guess, come on."

Aino crawls in the sleeping bag and snuggles up to Kakashi.

"Thanks youre the best."

She said sleepily.

As they lay back to back, Aino felt feelings she hadn't felt since her father died, safe and loved. Aino fell asleep fast but Kakashi remain up for along time thinking about what Aino said.

'What happen after her father died? What about her mother, what happen to her? Aino is just one big mystery.'

With that he turned over facing Ainos back, put his arm around her and fell asleep.

Approximately 4:30 in the morning Kakashi woke up with something heave on his chest and a butt cheek in his left hand. It took him a while to figure out that it was Aino, she was still asleep. At first Kakashi tried to move her but was to fearful about what will happen if she woke up. He may not have known her awfully long but he knew that any women would slap him stupid if they woke up to this. Kakashi decided he just lay there. He moved his hand down and listen to Aino as she run her hand throw his hair.

"I'm sorry Nobu, forgive me."

Aino said as a tear slid down her cheek onto Kakashis chest

'Who's this Nobu guy?'

Kakashi pondered.

More tears slid, Kakashi wiped them away, and help Aino firmly in his arms

"Kakashi"

she whispered

"please dont hate me"

"why would I hate you"

the only answer he got was the sound of birds chirping. Kakashi sighed then got up; he didn't care anymore what might happen he just wanted something to eat. He dressed quickly the made his way to the kitchen.

Meanwhile, in a ghost town Salil, Phoenix, and Murali were discussing on how to kill Aino.

"We should make this fun after all were the ones that gave her the nickname the Angel Assassin"

Phoenix said resting his head on a pole.

Salil smacked on the head with her sheath.

"We don't even know where she is."

Phoenix was huddled over rubbing his head.

"Oww that hurt."

He said in a winy voice.

"I know were Aino is."

Murali said with no emotion.

"Where Murali!!"

Phoenix and Salil yelled.

Murali drew out her flute and started making music. An image of a village appeared out of nowhere.

"She's in the village hidden in the leave, and is currently being guarded by Kakashi Hatake or better known as the copy ninja."

"Heh well then Phoenix would you like to fight this guy."

"Yeah no sweat. I'll make Aino suffer and this time I'll get the Heracrystal jutsu."

An evil grin came over phoenixs face.

Back at Kakashis Aino came screaming out of the bedroom looking for Kakashi.

"Whats wrong?"

he roared.

Aino turned to see him and everything that happened last night came back to her.

"Oh nothing, sorry about that"

Aino just stared at twitched her left eyebrow because Kakashi was wearing an apron. Not just any apron but one with lace on the sleeves.

"Whats wrong now?"

he said looking up from the stove. Aino sat down at the table.

"Nothing its just that I have never seen a guy wear such a famine apron."

Kakashi looked down at the apron the back to Aino

"So whats wrong with that?"

"Heh nothing, you pull it off very nicely you might say you look sexy even."

Aino winked at him then giggled.

Kakashi just winked back.

"How do like your eggs?"

Kakashi said cracking an egg.

"Over easy please."

Kakashi put two eggs, bacon, and biscuits on their plate. Then brought them to the table, and sat down. Aino devoured breakfast in one gulp.

"You must be hungry? Want seconds?"

"No thats OK Im full"

Kakashi started eating while Aino just gazed out a near by window

"He's cute... well sort. Why dose he remind of Nobu?"

"Aino are you OK?"

Aino snapped out her thoughts

"yeah why?"

"Well you look depressed plus you didn't answer my question."

"Oh what was it?"

"Well since you only have one pair of clothes to wear I thought we could go shopping for more."

Aino bashed her head on the table.

"Did I say something wrong?"

"N-no its just I don't like shopping that much, beside don't you have to meet your team somewhere or something?"

Kakashi leaned back in his chair.

"Yeah but I like making them wait. So how about it?"

"I guess but I must advise you I'm dreadfully picky."

They finished breakfast, got dress (yes Aino wore the clothes from yesterday) and went shopping.

Fast-forward .
After a five hour shopping spree Kakashi was exhausted. All they bought was seven black tank tops and blue hip hugging pants.

"You where right, you are picky"

Kakashi said with a deep sigh.

"I told you but nooo, you didn't listen."

Aino smiles at Kakashi

"but thanks anyway I did need new clothes."

"Um-uh, no problem."

'Woo what happen?'

Kakashi thought

'Her personality changes faster than I can think. Shes weird I'll give her that.'

they came to a bridge where the team was.

"Kakashi youre late! You were supposed to meet us here six hour ago!"

Sakura and Naruto bawled.

"Don't blame Needle-Noggin he was out helping me."

Aino said knocking on Kakashis head.

"Needle-Noggin?!"

Team 7 yelled

"Yeah, thats what I decide to call Kakashi"

"You sound like youre a couple"

said Naruto.

Aino wrapped her arms around Kakashis

"well maybe we are!"

"WHAT?!"

The three teenagers scream.

"Just kidding."

Aino smiles

'Geez Aino is almost as weird as Naruto'

Sakura thought.

"Alright, enough fun and games. Today you will be sparing with Aino."

Kakashi instructed.

"What, I can't fight I don't even know any Jutsu"

Aino said.

"Don't worry these guys will take it easy on you. Right guys?"

Kakashi winked at the team

"Yeah, believe it!"

Naruto shouted.

They walk into the middle of a forest and begin sparing. Kakashi sat in the tree reading his book and watching the match at the same time.

Sasuke threw a fist at Aino while Naruto try to drop kicked her. Aino manged to jump away from the kick, grab Sasukes fist and swing him around. Sakura sneaked up behind Aino and threw a shuriken. Aino dogged it by a hair.

'Their good!'

Aino thought.

Naruto came at her and threw kunai knives, Aino grabbed them all and threw them back, pining Naruto to a tree.

'One down two to go.'

"Whats the matter can keep up with me"

Aino try to intimidate them.

"Will see you can keep up with whom!"

Sasuke yelled then vanished, Aino looked around.

He reappeared right beside her and kicking her in the side. The kick sent her fling into a tree. As the tree fell Aino slowly got up.

"He's tougher than I thought"

she said waiting for the next move.

Sakura was in the bushes behind Aino planning her next move.

"Aino is strong, she beat Naruto no sweat and it doesn't even look like shes trying with Sasuke. She acts like Kakashi-sensei. Where is her weak spot?"

Sakura calculated every possibility.

"Thats it! All three of us have to charge her at the same time. I'll grab her from behind while Sasuke and Naruto do everything they can."

she ran over to the tree Naruto was pined to and stated pulling the kunai knives out.

At the same time Aino was still waiting for the next attack. She heard the bushes rustle; she turned to her right to see Sakura helping Naruto down. Sasuke jumped from behind her and hurled a Fuuma Shuriken toward her. Aino kicked Sasuke in the gut knocking him to the ground, grabbed the Fuuma Shuriken and flung it toward Sakura pining her to a tree. Sasuke stood up and charged Aino but Aino just pushed him to the ground and sat on him. By this time Aino was breathing heavily. They fought like this for four more hours then Kakashi told them that it was time to go home. Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke thanked Aino for the spar but they sweard they'll beat her next time, and then left with Sakura asking Sasuke if he wants to help her improve on her fights skills.

That was a good fight. Aino said stretching her arms

"Their stronger then they look"

Aino and Kakashi stayed in the woods watching Sakura yell at Naruto from a distends.

"Thats just because they have a great teacher"

Kakashi bragged.

"Some teacher you are then, always reading those weirdo books."

Aino grabbed Kakashi book from his hand and looked inside. Her eyes grow ten times their normal sizes and her face turned a mixture of red and blue from blushing and lack of air. Aino closed the book and slapped it into Kakashi's chest.

"Let's never speak of what I just saw. OK?"

Kakashi just looked at her.

"O.K"

he said finally.

Aino stares at Kakashi then throws a punch, he catches it with no problem.

"Now, how about we fight!"

Aino said with a twisted smile on her face.

Kakashi looks at her in shock but then he tries to punch her, only to get cut off with her free hand.

"Sounds great, I'll go easy on you."

Aino jumps up and kicks Kakashi with both feet sending him to a nearby tree. Kakashi disappeared into a tree pulling out his Kunai out ready for an opening in Aino's defense. Aino slide her right leg back and fist up waiting for Kakashi. Kakashi jumped from the tree aiming his Kunai at her left hand. Aino grabbed kakashis hand with her right and kick him with her right leg. Kakashi clutch her leg, Aino snack Kakashis Kunai and swung her left leg. Kakashi clutched that leg too. Aino slam the Kunai in Kakashi's left shin. Kakashi lets go off her legs, letting her flip and land a yard away from him.

"You're not bad."

Kakashi said.

"Thanks, you're not half bad yourself."

Aino replied

"Well I think you both are pathetic."

A man leaning against a tree called out.

"Noooo!!!'

Ainos mind screamed.
