A/N: Ok I made this Chapter really fast...I have too much time on my hands. I kind of really screwed up in the last chapter what with all the errors and everything but I'm editing it actually I just edited it and added a few more things to it a few minutes ago, I know I really need to watch what I write more closely, and a pre-reader would be most appreciated. And I forgot to add this in the last Author's note for Kerusai's Description...if you don't like my description...( Heck I don't even like it. Creeps me out, but had to have something) All I have to say that may or may not help is using your imagination. That may help you. I drew what she looks like, but I haven't been able to post it up on my website yet, but when I do I'll tell you guys so you can see what she looks like. Enjoy :P
Chapter 2: New friendships
After a few weeks of going to the Leaf Academy Kerusai was pretty worn out, and was more tired when she discovered that the landlord to the apartments she was living in was letting people into Naruto's little abode without his consent and after she got tired of cleaning the mess they always left she always placed a few traps for when they entered...which was about everyday.
One day though Kerusai walked into the classroom and noticed after the bell rang Naruto wasn't there and she thought, 'I hope he didn't go back home yet...gotta check if he's not here by lunch' and all the way to lunch she was feeling uneasy.
When the Lunch Bell rang she heard a number of girls almost running over each other to follow Sasuke out the door, and hearing over a number of words they shouldn't be saying all that much, though she noticed another girl who wasn't rushing out the door...Hinata Hyuuga. Kerusai walked up to her and asked, "Hi, Hinata would you like to come out for a walk for a few minutes, I may need your help with a few things?"
Hinata thought it over a few times and replied, "Ok, I-I-I'll go with you, but will we be back before school resumes."
Kerusai calculated the time it would take, and answered, "Yep, I think so too...I'll even buy lunch for you." and Naruto...if he's stuck' and they started walking towards Naruto's apartment though Hinata not having a clue about anything.
As they reached the apartments Hinata asked, "Why are we here Kerusai?"
Kerusai looked behind her and smiled, "Checking up on someone...come on" Kerusai almost dragged Hinata up the stairs towards Naruto's home.
As they reached the door they heard muffled growls, strains, and sighing. Kerusai felt a bit worried and sighed opening the door. She saw a Naruto encased in a crystal prism, Hinata worried rushed over to see what she could do, Kerusai stated, "Don't worry, He's perfectly fine...maybe a bit on the angry side but fine." She made a few hand signs and the Prism melted and disappeared.
A few moments later after Naruto was calm he yelled, "What was that for!" Forcing Hinata to hide behind Kerusai.
Kerusai nearly laughed, and answered, "Stating the fact you both don't know that I'm a sand ninja, and that people have been sneaking into your home during the day, I set up traps so they wouldn't make the place a mess...AND I WOULDN'T HAVE TO CLEAN IT!"
They both looked dumbfounded and asked almost in unison, "Sand Ninja...You mean from the Village Hidden in the Sand?" Naruto only said the first part Hinata continued on to the longer more detailed question.
Kerusai nodded and asked, "Yep, now this is our secret so there is no telling anyone-" she looked at Naruto," Got it Loud Mouth?" Naruto nodded.
Kerusai had a little glint in her eye and whispered something to Hinata and Hinata's face was as red as blood, reluctantly she nodded and Kerusai said, "Ok, now on the count of three. 1...2...3." Hinata kissed Naruto right cheek and Kerusai kissed his left cheek and continued saying, "Now you better not go back on your word...or your going to be paying for it in many cruel ways." cracking her knuckles made Naruto begin to worry about the cruel ways she was thinking of. They got Naruto ready to go to school and the three returned with Naruto behind the two girls while they talked.
The school day continued as usual with Naruto either mocking Iruka-sensei or sleeping through the class.
Naruto and Kerusai walked with Hinata to her home and then the both of them walked to their respective homes.
When Kerusai entered her house her little wolf tried to tackle her when she entered and she laughed and picked him up and said, "I thought of a name for you...It's umm I don't think you would like it, but how is Katemu?" The dog barked and wagged its tail which she took as a good sign that he liked the name. She set Katemu down and started dinner for the two of them.
About an hour later, dinner was finished she gave a bowl to Katemu, and they both sat on the floor since she didn't feel like buying a table. while eating she noticed the wolf pup liked playing with its food and she lightly tapped him on the head and said, "Don't play with your food...cause your cleaning it up...not that you'll mind of course." she smiled as Katemu continued to play.
After dinner, well for Kerusai since the dog just now started eating instead of playing. She got out a blank tank top, and a pair of thin layered white pants, and took a shower, dressed, and went outside for awhile and she laid on the roof with Katemu watching the stars. After awhile Naruto joined, but made sure not to be seen or heard while he watched her watching the night sky while talking to the little dog, little did Naruto realize that this girl was the actual real Kerusai and not the one that he's used to seeing all the time.
By midnight Kerusai got up and Naruto completely oblivious just continued to stare at her beauty. Kerusai looked at him strangely and walked past him and after a few seconds hit him in the back of the head and walked off grumbling different and very disturbing words that would make a chill go down the toughest man's spine.
Naruto was complaining as she walked into her home, Kerusai laid Katemu on the little doggie bed that she had bought from a named boy Kiba in her class since his clan had alit of dog's in it, though she still thinks that it was over-priced, but never complained about it. Before she went to sleep though she decided to bring Katemu to the Academy tomorrow.
In the morning Kerusai woke up extremely early and started cursing until she left for the academy.
At the academy once they had all sat Iruka had walked in with a grave expression on his face as he reached the front he announced, "As you all know the Chunin exams are coming up in the next few weeks." He looked directly at Kerusai and continued, "Kerusai you will be in those exams. Thus hereby you will now be considered a genin and you will train with him , with an ANBU Captain her name is Hitomi...here catch." Iruka threw a leaf headband towards her and she caught it.
Iruka sighed for a moment and stated, "We'll talk after class so go entertain yourself for awhile." Kerusai nodded and quietly walked out. Outside she was sitting across the street on a swing when Kakashi poofed next to her and said, "So you happy that you get to take the Chunin exams?"
Kerusai tried to smile but it didn't show it and she replied, "Not really I have nothing to do until the end of the day." Kakashi had a glint in his eyes which made Kerusai worry about what was going to happen to her.
"So why don't you just go on a mission? I'll even come with you." Stated Kakashi smiling through his mask.
Kerusai agreed and they both headed off to the Hokage's office for a mission.
As they entered Kakashi went up to the front and got a D ranked mission for the only thing she hated the most...Babysitting. 'He did that on purpose, he knows I hate babysitting, oh if he was a jounin I'd kill him.' thought Kerusai as veins started to pop in her head.
As she arrived at the house she knocked on the door and a little girl opened it and she said, "You da one who supoose to wach me?"
Kerusai smiled and replied, "Yes, I am now what's your name?" then she picked the little up and walked inside to find her parents to explain that she was here for the job.
"My name is Sanuca, and mommy name is Hitomi." said the little girl whom was playing with Katemu. Kerusai entered the kitchen by following Sanuca's directions, and a growing fear of how hitomi was like since she was going to be her Instructor.
"Sanuca who was at the door?" said a woman who looked about twenty cutting vegetables.
It was Kerusai not Sanuca whom answered, "Your babysitter for her Hitomi-sensei." watching the woman look at her
Hitomi laughed and said, "I only have one student and her name is Kerusai and she's probably wondering around town, I doubt that's you."
Kerusai sighed and grabbed her Citizenship card and tossed it to her and Hitomi's reply was, "Ok, you are, but I can't train you if your babysitting her...come on let's go to the Hokage's Office and we'll sort this out." Hitomi cleaned up the kitchen and barely dragged Kerusai out.
Kerusai noticed that Hitomi was in fact a very nice lady, though looks could be deceiving, and decided on waiting until she saw both sides of her. As they were walking Hitomi said, "So, I hear your taking the Chunin Exam with no real experience, once we both find a babysitter for her I'll teach you the basic's and you may actually pass this year with only a few weeks of training."
"Well I hope I can learn a lot from you Hitomi-sensei." Kerusai admitted with eagerness going through her.
Hitomi chuckled and she said smirking, "Yes I hope you do to, but do heed these words I won't be acting like this when we train. I am going to be your friend, but during training, I am your sensei...What I am trying to say is only when we aren't training just call me Hitomi." A few moments of silence then Kerusai heard a series of giggles were heard from her and she stated, "You know I'd have you live with us, but the house is too small."
Kerusai was a bit stunned, not only would her sensei train her AND be her friend, she would have let Kerusai live with her. Kerusai commented, "No, no, no it's ok you really don't need to worry about it, I live just fine in my apartment with Katemu." whom she had just noticed wasn't in her hair any more or near her, and thought 'Katemu probably went home; hopefully Naruto would let him in...doubt it though.'
Finally they reached the Hokage's tower; the Chunin Guard said after laughing, "The Hokage and Kakashi are waiting for you." He looked at Kerusai, "Good Luck."
They walked past him without saying anything to him or each other the only one talking as Sanuca who was walking next to her mother.
As they enter the building they swiftly and quietly went to the Hokage's office, once they arrived at the door Hitomi told Kerusai to wait out of the room.
Kerusai noticed the clock was at noon when about the same time Hitomi came out and said that she had settled everything and that she would train Kerusai tomorrow. After Hitomi left sight Kerusai raced to the Academy.
At the Academy, Kerusai arrived just in time to take Hinata to lunch for the help the other day, and to the much complaining of Naruto he came along too. Kerusai only knew one place in the whole village and that place was Ichiraku Ramen, So she brought them there, while they waited for the ramen to heat up Kerusai asked Hinata, "So Hinata, who do you have a crush on?" while Naruto was from the looks of it oblivious to everything since he was staring at a dog that was staring back at him.
Hinata replied, "I-I I don't want t-to s-s-say..." and she muttered off.
Kerusai sighed and didn't feel like pushing for an answer and just looked into the clouds in the sky and they foretold it would be raining either that night or the next day in the morning. By the time the ramen came Naruto still was having a staring contest and Kerusai wasn't about to interrupt it. She and Hinata started eating without giving Naruto a word.
About five minutes later Naruto said, "Ok, I'm staying here until this dog blinks and I mean it." Kerusai sighed, and started thinking of a cruel plan to tease Naruto.
When Hinata finished she said, "I got to go get something before class starts again, bye."
Kerusai replied, "Bye Hinata...Naruto says bye too, even if he is to busy." and Hinata walked off to where ever she was going.
Kerusai thought, hehe time to implement plan A 47' She got up and walked behind Naruto gave him a hug from behind and slowly started to kiss his neck, and Naruto screaming, "Stop, Stop, Get off of me...you're given me the creeps!" and she let go and started to laugh as Naruto was trying to tear off the places she kissed.
After Naruto calmed down and Kerusai stopped laughing she said, "What I thought you liked it, you weren't having a problem with it the first five minutes."
Naruto stated, "I don't see your point, but I didn't like it now I got to take a bath just to get your smell out of my head and my nose."
Kerusai was upset and sad, and she shouted, "Fine, be that way!" and left sadly for Naruto she didn't pay for the bill yet, so he got stuck with it, but the old man who ran it said he'd wait until she came back, which meant Naruto didn't get stuck with the bill...go figure.
Kerusai went to her home and laid next to Katemu which surprisingly found his way home and inside and cried herself to sleep.
The very next day in the morning, Kerusai took a shower and dressed in an outfit which seemed Kakashi had dropped off for her it was a black suit with a green vest with all sorts of pockets on it. After that she picked up Katemu who was jumping at her feet and put him on the top of her head in her hair, and put her headband around her neck, only tight enough that it didn't fall off.
She left and went to Training ground 94 an ANBU training ground, and waiting there was Hitomi and her daughter as Kerusai walked up Hitomi said, "I couldn't find a babysitter so she'll be with us the first few days, and Mr. Wolfy in your hair should come out he'd be a pest during your training right now." Kerusai complied and took Katemu out of her hair with much protest from the dog, and put him next to Sanuca. Hitomi continued, " Now first we'll work with you chakra, I want you to sit down and meditate."
Kerusai asked, "Meditate how is that supposed to help?"
Hitomi answered with an odd looking smile, "Because one is on a mission you could run out of food and you'll have to live off of your chakra, so it's good to have a high level of chakra, second is people that meditate sometimes have the ability to unlock their bloodlines skills, and third is that you train easier. Good enough for you." Kerusai nodded and started to try to meditate.
Every time she'd mess up she ended up getting a new bruise, but by the time it was time to leave she finally got the hang of it and Hitomi admitted, "wow, I've never seen anyone learn things as quick as you, but that's a good thing, you'll have more time to learn more. Trust me Kerusai you'll be the best even maybe to be able to be an ANBU someday."
Kerusai said goodbye to Hitomi and Sacuna and picked up Katemu and went home for the night to rest and ease the pain of those new bruises.
(Ok I don't really want to go through each and every training exercise, so I'll just some it up in the next Chapter when she starts battling people; I'll give hints about what she learned.)
