Note: No reviews yet, but that's okay I'm just going to continue.
Disclaimer: Yes Naruto is not my story or idea, I'm the lame-o who pretty much just branches off from ideas that I have. And on with the show kids.
Chapter 2: An Appearance and a Day
---------------------------------------------------
A young woman romped her way down through the sinewy weeds that caught at her rumpled brown pants aged and patched from many years of experience. Her hair was longer resting half way down her back only tied up shortly by a thin blue ribbon. She sighed and blew a stray curl from her face.
As she reached the top of the mountainous hill filled with weeds and shrubbery she placed her hands on her hips and took a break for a moment.
"Aah," she let out a soft sigh of relief noticing the familiar gates with an emblem imprinted on the gate doors much like the emblem that hung around her neck.
She smiled and ran down the hill too excited to be stopped by troublesome snags that tore at her clothing. When the girl finally reached the door of her destination she nodded to the guards who smiled gently to her. Her face was so kind and yet familiar that no exchange of words was needed; only the fact that she held up her leaf emblem some from her neck.
The guards nodded and opened the heavy Hidden Leaf Village doors with a groan.
The girl looked no different. Her bright smile was the same, her hair was a bit longer but the curls were still as loose and soft as ever. Her clouded eyes seemed to assume that she saw nothing, but it was just the opposite. Nothing got away from Kiana Miromota's eyes. She made her way into the village, her strong agile legs striding in deep yet feminine steps as she made her way up the steps to the main road.
Once this ground was pounded and left behind she took her first step back onto the main road that had shops and homes on either side of her leading up to the great stone shrine of the Hokage's past.
AS she stepped onto the road she was jolted into the past for a moment seeing her old friends laying leisurely on the side of the road and jeering at opponents. Then she was suddenly jerked back to reality.
She suddenly realized her amazing hunger and holding at her thin stomach she looked up and chased her way down the main road to a familiar Ramen shop that was, to her surprise, still standing. She laughed when she entered seeing everything almost the same.
She took a seat at the counter top next to a blonde haired boy who eyed her gently for a moment then returned to his beloved Ramen. When this boy realized what she had ordered he turned to her and said eagerly,
"Hey! You ordered the same thing as me! You must really like Ramen, because I really really like Ramen. Believe it!" he said a little too enthusiastically for Kiana.
"Is that so?" she said in a soft almost motherly tone. She smiled lightly and said gently,
"Well my favorite Ramen is pork with strips of bacon and slivers of green beans mixed with the noodles," she laughed some and ran a hand through her silky red locks, her left arm showing vivid uneven lines upon her wrist.
"Hey! You! You have the same lines," Naruto said with a jolt of excitement from seeing Kakashi's lines before. The women however, took it almost as an insult as to her age. Which she was proud to say was 32! Okay, so she was a little older than her younger years romping around town with the boys but hey, she couldn't look that much different could she?
"What did you say?" Kiana finally muttered bringing her hands to her face well aware that she probably had some laugh lines showing around her lips, but who didn't!
"No no, I mean these lines," Naruto grabbed her wrist and turned her hand palm up to trace the lines with her fingers before saying, "My sensei has lines just like these on his wrist too!"
"Your sensei?" Kiana was definitely interested. She leaned forward towards the boy and said softly.
"Whats your name boy?" as she took her wrist back and traced the sad lines herself.
"Hm? My name is Naruto Uzumaki! Believe it!" he smiled and gave her the thumbs up before she smiled a little warily and said,
"Well Naruto, it's nice to meet you, I'm Kiana Morimota," she tilted her head and smiled continuing on, "So who did you say your sensei was?"
"Oh, you mean the one with the lines?" he said through mouth fulls of Ramen.
"Yes that sensei," she rolled her eyes some, the kid was cute but could use some work on his table manners.
"His name is Hatake Kakashi! And he's the best Jonin that ever lived! Believe it!"
Naruto beamed up noodles dripping from his mouth as Kiana's face took an unidentifiable shape. Her emotions had set it. She hadn't really expected him to stay in the Hidden Leaf Village that long. She always thought he would be the first one to get out. Well besides herself of course. But unlike Kakashi, she was forced to leave, otherwise she would have stayed and she and Kakashi could have-
She sighed and looked at Naruto before taking her own Ramen and eating it happily. After about three bowls stacked up on Naruto's side Kiana leaned down to him and said gently.
"Naruto, I would like to ask a favor of you," she said this gently so as not to scare the boy off, "I'm an old friend of your sensei."
"Yeah, I know," Naruto said sitting back and placing his hands behind his head as he balanced his chair on its two back legs. Kiana looked startled for a moment as if she thought Kakashi had talked about her or something. He couldn't possibly have, but before her thoughts were finished Naruto continued, "Cos of the lines on your arms. When I asked him about them, he said he didn't know what I was talking about. But I saw right through Kakashi Sensei! He was hiding something so I didn't take no for an answer. YAH!" he said punching the air and falling back onto the floor with a crash.
Kiana giggled some at him and said softly, "Would you mind showing me where he lives?"
Naruto jumped up and punched his fist in the air, "Sure!" he said excitedly. "I'll be like your bodyguard!"
'Boy this kid has some weird fantasies, first the Ramen and now this.' She thought.
"Uh, sure," she said. And soon they were out the door down the dirt road winding through house after house, Naruto claiming that it was a short cut and that he knew all the short cuts in town. Then he went on about a 10 minute rant about all the short cuts he knew of and how to get there.
By the time they reached a small home with a solitary light on in the lower left hand window Kiana breathed a sigh of relief. How did Kakashi put up with such a kid every day? She was only around him for about 20 minutes and already she was exaughsted.
"Well, this is his place, I have to get going! See yah!" Naruto said as he ran off down the street whooping and hollering all the way as many lights turned on in the further homes.
Kiana smiled after the boy and turned her attention to the solitary house. She took a deep inward breath and closed her eyes for a moment trying to calm the feelings that were fighting their way at her stomach. Maybe she shouldn't have had Ramen for dinner after all.
Soon she found herself climbing the steps do his door. What was she so worried about? This was Kakashi! Her Kakashi! The guy she had been in love with…fifteen…years ago.
She sighed again and muttered something to herself once more before she rapped lightly on the door. She heard footsteps from inside and something inside of her jolted and told her to run, but she stayed rooted to the spot.
When the door swung open a man with light grey hair and silouhetted eyes looked down at her, his emblem covered his left eye; his sharingan eye no doubt. And a ninja mask covered his face nose down only exposing one bored eye.
Kakashi had to look at the woman on his doorstep for a moment before his one visible eye opened white with astonishment,
"K-K-K-Kiana?" he whispered softly to the night air as the red headed Jonin stood on his steps meagerly smiling and breathed as if she was waiting to say the name again for fifteen years,
"Kakashi!"
