Chapter 2
"Good morning, Iruka," the Third Hokage greeted the chunin warmly, "I assume you'll want to know why I summoned you so early." "Yes," Iruka replied, "But can we please make this quick, I'm very busy and—" "You need to run some errands?" he asked. The teacher fidgeted a little bit and said, "Well, uh, it's more for the sake of any valuables I may have accidentally left in plain view."
Meanwhile….
"Ooh! This is shiny! I wonder what happens if I—Whoops!" CRASH! "Oh, that's what happens…"
Back to Iruka…
"I have to what?" The third sighed and explained, "You're the only one eligible for this mission. You'll be gone for a few days, but I'm sure that's no problem for—" "BIG problem! BIG problem!" Iruka was about to go into hysteria. His sister, alone in his apartment. He could picture it now:
"Ooh! This is shiny! I wonder what happens if I—Whoops!" CRASH! "Oh, that's what happens…"
"I can't go on this mission! My little sister is at my house and I just can't leave her alone!" "Hmm…" the old man fell into deep thought. "Well, you are definitely the best candidate for this assignment… so why don't we get your sister a babysitter?" "Uh, well, this babysitter in question is hopefully experienced…" Iruka was still not totally convinced that anyone, including him, could handle Nari. "Don't worry Iruka, I'll get the most experienced babysitter I can for this job. You should probably leave for mission straight away, as soon as you're packed." "Yes sir." He bowed respectfully to his superior before leaving the room.
"Is this the best you could find me?" The Third demanded to the messenger he sent. "Yes sir, all the other jounins are away on missions." "But Hatake Kakashi? Are you sure there's no one else available?" The man nodded sincerely. The old man sighed, and after a brief pause mumbled, "Go get him." That being said, the messenger ran off to find Konoha's famed Copy Ninja.
"Iruka! Where are you going with that big bag? Where are you going, huh? Huh?" Iruka was about to leave when his sister came running up to him. "Are we going camping? I love camping! We can roast marshmallows and tell ghost stories and—" "Nari, we're not going camping," her older brother said, "I'm going away for a little while. You stay in the house and wait for someone who's coming to watch you, okay?" Iruka took care not to use the word 'babysitter' in his sentence; he'd never hear the end of it if he had. "I'm not going camping with you?" Nari's eyes began to water, "Are you still mad about that glass thingy I accidentally dropped by mistake?" Iruka sighed. Oh for the love of shinigamilenne. (A/N See? See? I did it! Muahahaha!)
"Kakashi, you do realize why you've been summoned here, do you not?" "Uh, no not really." The silver-haired man replied in his usual bored tone. The Third continued, "I have a very important assignment for you, one that you may not come back form unscathed." This got Kakashi's attention. "You are hereby assigned to… baby-sit Iruka's little sister."

Yay! My second Chapter done! Sorry it was really short, but I just couldn't resist leaving a cliff on that last line! As for the next chapter, we'll see just how long Kakashi is able to keep sane at the hands of Nari. Wait, was Kakashi sane to begin with? (Once again, somewhere out there our fave Copy Nin has a horrible urge to hurt someone.) Cheers!
