Chapter 3

Filler episode!

"WHY!" the scream came early in the morning, too early. Kakashi shot out of bed and ran in a panic to his niece's room to comfort her. She was sobbing and had apparently been up all night.

"Shhhhhhh, its ok Mi-chan, just tell uncle what's wrong."

"Why…why…whyWHY." She screamed and sobbed into his shoulder.

"Why what little Mi?"

"Oh why did it have to happen that way? Why? Oh the humanity!" she wailed pathetically as she clutched at her uncle's night shirt.

Tomadre, the sneaky cat that he was, quickly quit the room through Mia's open window. What he was up to…was anyone's guess.

"What happened Kashi?" A sleepy Iruka entered the room holding a bathrobe around himself.

"I DON'T KNOW" Kakashi wailed and started to cry too. The doorbell rang and Iruka went to see who it was.

"Oh hello you two, why are you here?" Iruka had opened the door to see the twins, half dressed and startled looking. Gono was clutching Tomadre.

"Is Mia OK?" Futa asked

"You know what…" The silence was broken by a loud,

"WHY?"

"I DON'T KNOW!" They all rushed into Mia's room and found Kakashi and his niece clutching each other and crying profusely. Something had fallen to the floor by the bed and Iruka bent to pick it up. Opening the book, which the jacket proudly proclaimed 'Desert Adventures', and opened it. He turned red with embarrassment as he turned to the crying family.

"Is this what you two are making such a fuss about?"

"I DON'T KN- what?"

"Yes!" Mia sniffed, "How could he have cheated on her?" she wailed miserably. Kakashi wiped his…eye and took the book from Iruka.

"Wow, you're already on the third volume?" He said, impressed as he pulled the dust cover off of 'Icha Icha Paradise'

"YOUR ENCURAGING THIS?" Iruka shouted at his love.

"Well, not really but-"

Mia latched onto her uncle while whipping away her tears and smiling, "He has too! Daddy hates it and whatever daddy hates Uncle Kakashi loves!...Except for mommy. That would just be weird," she added as an after thought. Then she slipped under her bed and pulled out the fourth volume of 'Icha Icha Paradise.' "Now to find out if she lived!"

"So that's where my books went!"

"Mia, you've been here for…HOW LONG? And you've already confiscated his ENTIRE book collection?" Futa asked wile Gono just shook his head in pity.

"I didn't 'confiscate them, I 'barrowed' them," replied Mia without even bothering to look up from her reading. "Besides, it's not ALL of them. Just the ones I haven't read yet."

Tomadre wriggled free from Gono's grasp to crawl into Mia's lap. He mewled up at her, causing her to look down and realize something. All she was wearing was boxers and a sports bra. She turned bright red before screaming, "ALRIGHT! EVERYBODY OUT! EVERYBODY OOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUT!" She pulled her blanket up around her and started hurling pretty much anything that came to hand at the boys.

"Alright, alright, were leaving!" Iruka said, dragging Kakashi who had been brained by Icha volume three.

"Yeah it's not like you have anything to look at." Muttered the usually quiet Gono, he was upset with the loss of cat.

Mia's eyes filled with flames as her hair (which was down) spiked out around her head. "Excuse me," she said in a surprisingly quiet voice. "But the reason I have shrunk a cup size is due to the fact that I am wearing a sports bra. Not that you would know for I highly doubt ANY female would show YOU her special friends. Now, leave my bedroom before I go…go….I DONT KNOW JUST GET OUT!"

DOOR SLAMS

"Think I was too hard on them Tomadre?" questioned Mia of her faithful cat as she settled onto her bed once more. Said cat just mewled before curling up on her pillow and ignoring her. "Didn't think so. Now what did I do with volume four?"

She looked about her in confusion before coming to the only possible conclusion. "Kakashi took it!" she said out loud, immediately jumping to conclusions. She dressed in a flurry and left the room, slamming the door and pulling her socks on at the same time. Tomadre opened one silted eye and gave the cat's equivalent to a smile. He shifted his feline form on Mia's pillow, feeling the hard, rectangular shape of 'Icha Icha Paradise' volume four. He sighed and settled down for a nice long catnap.
