I LOVE YOU.

Chapter 2

After much flailing and struggling from Mia and Tomadre, enduring Naruto's annoying laughter, and a beautiful intervention by Kunai Otoko, their new sensei, they finally got the whole mess sorted out.

"Ok, so my new team is twins and a geisha? I can live with that…but do they have to be noobs?" She complained to Otoko, who was to be her teacher for the next few years. She was attempting to extract her feline companion from Gono's death grip.

"I already told you, WE ARE NOT NOOOOOOOOBS!" Futa screamed at their extremely 'deaf' team mate.

She blinked coyly over her shoulder at Futa as she succeeded (miraculously) in retrieving Tomadre from Gono's grip. "Only noobs would deny their noobness." She tugged Tomadre to her chest and proclaimed, "My kitty!"

Her eye's softened as she starred at the cat in her arms for a brief moment, then she shook all thoughts from her head. "I still need to talk to the Hokage. He needs to tell me where my uncle lives so I can ditch that monster bag. My Dad insisted that I pack so much stuff!" She grumbled and complained as she absently gestured at the behemoth lying lazily in the middle of the road. She glared at the thing that caused her so much pain and kicked it.

A crunching sound reminded her that something had snapped in its depths. Blanching at the thought of what might have been damaged she knelt next to the massive bag. "What did I break this time?" she bemoaned before opening it.

She searched it's depths for a brief moment before extracting a black and red wooden…thing. "Just great!" she exclaimed in annoyance. "How the heck am I supposed to fix this way out here in the middle of nowhere?"

Gono, who had remained silent except for the occasional plea to hold the cat again stated indignantly, "This isn't 'nowhere'!"

Mia didn't really hear him; after all she was 'deaf.' She turned to the cat that now perched on her shoulder. "Perhaps he could fix it Tomadre?.insert cat meow..You're right, he's incompetent when it comes to these things." She sighed in disappointment, "I just had to be transferred to a place with no sense of dance or grace!"

The boys were both getting quite fed up with the girl's one sided rant. They glared daggers at the oblivious foreigner as they prepared to give her a piece of their mind when suddenly a bell tolled in the distance, causing Naruto to scream.

"That can't be the time, Kakashi is going to kill me!" He started to run past Mia but fell forward as he tripped over her booted foot. "What did you do that for?" he shouted.

"Did you say Kakashi?" They all gave her a puzzled look.

"Y-yeah, so?"

"Where is Naruto, he's not usually this late!" Sakura, a girl about the same age as Naruto with pink hair, said distractedly, shading her eyes against the sun.

"Hn, the idiots probably still at the Ramen place." Sasuke, a boy with blue black hair and cold black eyes replied. It was quite late, almost enough time had passed from the appointed time to now for Kakashi to arrive. As he thought this there was a slight explosion of displaced air and smoke, he was here.

"Ohaiyo, sorry I'm late, Timmy got stuck in a well-around now Sakura starts denying his claim-and, where's Naruto?" He said very confused, no one on his team was ever later than him. "Oh well, I guess I don't need to be here yet, I'll just-" he again was cut short as the ground began to tremble. Naruto, followed by Futa, Gono and Mia, they left the huge bag at the school with Amaya, charged into view, heading toward them in a cloud of dust.

"OH NO, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" Kakashi shouted to his two students, he turned and ran into Kunai Otoko.

"Ohaiyo Gozaimasu Kakashi san" he said, bowing formally. Kakashi blinked in surprise before being bowled over by Mia.

"Uncle Kakashi!" She said joyfully. Naruto and the twins had skidded to a halt, panting slightly, next to the very surprised Sakura and Sasuke.

"Who…is that?" Sakura asked Naruto.

"Hatake Mia, Kakashi's niece." Gono smiled, watching (in his vision) the happy reunion, Sasuke just hm'phed, crossing his arms at the 'pitiful' display. The cat had left Mia's shoulder to escape the fray and was scooped up once more by Gono when there was a loud bang and a cloud of smoke. It cleared and Mia was being sat on by a harassed looking Kakashi.

"What are you doing here?" he shouted.

"I'm on an exchange program! That's my new team!" She gesture at the twins, "their noobs."

"We are not!" Futa shouted, he looked to his brother for backup but he was too busy petting the cat.

"Well anyway, Uncle Kakashi, I need to stay at your place for a while, hope you don't mind!" She said all of this with a very cheerful voice from her position on the ground.

She must be blind as well as deaf Futa thought but still received no answer from his brother who, for some odd reason, appeared to be attempting to teach the cat how to fetch.

"WHAT?"(1) Poor Kakashi stood with all the speed he could manage, which is quite a lot, unfortunately for him something fell out of his pocket and was quickly snatched by Mia.

"You have the second in the series!" she said in a fangirly shriek, holding up Icha Icha Paradise, something Kakashi was hardly ever seen without. She got all starry eyed as she clutched the book to her chest. "Yay! I've been waiting years for this!" she squealed with delight as she opened the book to the first page. "I get it now!...Really? Who'd of thought…..GASP!" she muttered as she became completely engrossed in the story.

Tomadre sighed and seemed to give up hope for his master, still held firmly by Gono. He mewled to get Mia's attention. Magically, the mangled thing that was Mia's broken fan dangled from the white feline's mouth. Mia looked up and blinked at her companion, "…Oh! Thanks Tomadre!"

She jumped to her feet and rushed to Gono's side, the book still held tightly in her left hand. She plucked the mangled mass of black and red up with her right hand, smiling at the kitty. "Thanks!" Then she skittered over to Kakashi's side and looked up at him imploringly. She held the broken object out to him and said, "Uncle Kakashi? Tomadre and I had a little accident with the duffle and mommy's special fan broke. Can you fix it?"

Kakashi blinked down at her and he could slowly feel his resolve fading. "You're mom's fan?" he asked softly.

Mia blinked up at him as her eyes misted over and turned all sparkly. "Please?" She clasped her hands in front of her as she held the fan before her 'cherished' uncle. "It would mean the world to me! A pour, defenseless, helpless-"

"Ok Mia, I think it's a good idea to quit while you're ahead." Futa said quietly as Mia wiped pretend tears from her eyes and hissed,

"Not now! I'm buttering him up!" when she felt the fan being tugged out of her hand. Apparently the great Kakashi was just as 'deaf' as his niece.

"Very well my little Mi-chan. I will fix your special fan," muttered Kakashi as he pocketed her less then mint condition fan.

A vein popped out about Mia's right eye as she gritted her teeth into a painfully forced smile. "Thank you oh so very much Uncle Kakashi. Whom I've known sense birth and would be mortified if he were to have an accident after commenting on my height…or lack there of."

"Mi-chan, it's not my side of the family's fault that you are vertically challenged," he replied.

Mia's temper boiled over at this point as she charged forward, drawing her bladed fans when… "PENNY!" she dive bombed right passed Kakashi at the shiny object that was not there before. She scooped it up while depositing her semi-sheathed fans in the dirt next to her. "What year is it? OH! That's a good year! I have to put it with my stuffers!" Mia quickly rose to her feet, pocketing the penny and grabbing her fans in the process. She began to saunter off when she remembered something…she didn't know the way.

"Wait Mia san!" cried a frantic Otoko. "We have to do a test for the three of you-"

"I've already done the test! I've been a gennen for a year now!"

"Don't be so hard on Kunai," Kakashi said, slinging his arm around the man. "You're his first group of Gennens."

"IM SOROUNDENDED BY NOO- wait did you say His?" Otoko nodded, smiling slightly through his geishya makeup.

Blinking, Mia re-took in her teacher's appearance. "Oh yeah! I see the Adams apple now!" She smiled at him. Naruto spluttered in the background. "You think with the way I grew up I would have spotted it sooner…"

With a concerned look towards the ramen loving, spazzing, blonde she asked his team mates, "What's his problem? Got rabies or something?"

She turned to the twins and asked, "If this sort of thing causes Naruto so much of a problem then why doesn't it bother you two?"

"Because we already knew that Otoko sensei was a guy and besides Kakashi isn't the straightest kunai either." While Kakashi frantically waved at the twins from behind Mia's back. Making slashing motions over his throat. While Kakashi's team sputtered, their faces cloaked in 'WTF' of mass proportions.

Mia slowly turned to her uncle while her eyes narrowed dangerously. "When did this happen? I don't recall any of this in your yearly letters. Uncle Kakashi, why didn't you tell me that you were gay?"

She leaned up to his face and asked, "Does dad know?" Then she rocked back on her heels, scratching her chin as she thought. "No of course not, dad can't stand to live in the same village as the rest of them. He has to live on the very outskirts due to his intense straightness. Did mom know? Of course mom knew, she knew everything! What about Lady ShoeBandit? Stupid question, ShoeBandit taught mom everything that she knew!"

As Mia continued her self interigation, Kakashi loomed over her and muttered, "Stop answering your own questions!"

"What? Oh, sorry Uncle Kakashi. Old habits die hard, ya know?" answered Mia sheepishly. "So anyway, thanks for telling me Uncle-mine." A look of sadness and hurt reflected in her eyes for a brief moment, and then she banished such emotions so as not to attract unwanted attention to herself.

"So where are you from? That's a strange Hitai-ate you have there!" Sakura said good-naturedly, leaning down slightly to put her at eye level to the girl who was a year younger than her in the attempt to be nice and old-sisterly.

Mia looked confused when she mentioned her Hitai-ate. Then realization set in and she smiled brightly, always happy to talk about her home.

"Well," she started as she chose her words carefully. "I come from a village called Sunika. It was founded by a woman who we only know as ShoeBandit, along with my mother and father. There, we specialize in all techniques that involve chakra manipulation in association to the feet. Such as increased speed or hanging from trees.

Anyways, it's a village full of gay and lesbian couples. There are probably only ten straight matches out of the entire two-hundred human population…"

"Hence the reason why she wasn't that surprised by Otoko's gender," cut in Kakashi as he placed a hand on Mia's shoulder.

Then Sasuke, sounding bored, asked Mia, "And? What about you?"

Kakashi turned with an amused smile and said, "Sorry boys!"

"What are you talking about Uncle Kakashi? I'm straight!"

He looked at her, "You are?"

Mia backed away from the group and declared (once she had enough room), "Of course! If I wasn't, would I carry around…THESE!" She reached down her shirt and produced two pictures.

"This one," she declared while holding up a photo of a samurai. His pail skin and feminine features were very attractive "Is the well known Kumi-chan(2)! Accomplished swordsman who is as beautiful as the snow rose and just as deadly. While this one," she continued, holding up the second photo. This man had a macho hunky and romantic look, with short black hair and a definite Hispanic background "Is the rugged and manly, macho man, Andres(3)!" She swooned back and forth while sighing dreamily.

"You're in love with two men? Isn't that kind of fickle?" asked Sakura.

"Not if you do THIS!" cried Mia as she clamped the pictures between her teeth and began to form seals with both hands. Then, in a 'poof' of smoke (no pun intended), the photos became photo! There in the single picture was a…Ruggedly beautiful, macho samurai? "Woot! Smexy-exy, Andrmi or Kudres! I haven't quite decided on a name yet."

"Mi-chan!" His voice was stern.

"Yes Uncle Kakashi?" She said, batting her eyelashes at the disapproving look on her uncle's face, but it soon broke into one of utter admiration and, how else to put this, perverted ness.

"You must teach me that little trick!"

Meanwhile, Naruto was having a panic attacks, Sakura looked sick and Sasuke was…Sasuke.

"Ok, now that that is sorted out, maybe we could go to the training grounds?" asked a hopeful Otoko sensei.

"Yeah lets go, you have to prove to me that your not noobs!" Mia cried, suddenly re-energized!

"You're on!" replied Futa.

(1): Mia is the only person who can get Kakashi flustered, at least in this story.

(2): Kumi – Long Continued Beauty Pretty samurai boy

(3): Andres – Manly, Courageous Macho Spanish dude

In case you didn't figure it out already Mia's mom was Spanish. Don't flame us for out of character-ness pleas, its just the way things turned out.
