Hi everyone! Sorry, I'm a little new at so please bear withme. I'm sorry if the first chapter was really boring, I tried to get it all out of the way at once. Anyway, this is a Kakashi X OC story with a little Sasuke X Hinata and Neji X OC. Namino Kireina is my character and the storyline/plot is mine, but Sasuke, Naruto, Kakashi, etc. aren't mine. So...I guess that's what a disclaimer is? D Sorry, I'm a newbie - Um..there was something else...OH YEAH! This fic does take place in Naruto world meaning it's all ninjas and stuff, but it's a little AU, because when I started writing this, I think I had only read the manga up to 240 something. So if you don't read the manga and only watch the anime, there will be some spoilers in here -" Sorry! Also,there's a lot of random Japanese in here. I'm sorry if that bugs anyone, but I DO know Japanese so I'm not a random anime fan who uses whatever Japanese she picks up while watching it. I DO know Japanese.
"You know you don't need to come with me right?" Kireina asked.
Kakashi smiled, "I know, but you're a fascinating person and I'd like to get to know you more."
Kireina laughed, "All right. So, do you know where my parents are?"
Kakashi answered, "No, but you could probably find them considering you still have your Byakugan on."
Kireina grinned sheepishly, "Oh yeah."
She quickly scanned the village, "They're with the Hokage. It looks like they're figuring something out. Let's go!"
Kireina deactivated her Sharingan and Byakugan, and then the two of them quickly started off in the direction of her parents.
"So, what are you hiding under that mask of yours?" Kireina asked.
Kakashi grinned, "That's my secret. No one's ever seen my face before and lived to describe it."
Kireina shrugged, "Oh well, it's your privacy."
Kakashi grinned, "So what about you. You can't be just a jounin. Not with that kind of skill and speed."
Kireina laughed, "Nothing escapes you, huh? You're right. I'm an elite jounin and the head ANBU captain for Sand."
"Impressive. Let me guess. You're one of those who achieved everything really young right?"
"Graduated at 6, chuunin by 7, jounin at 9, elite jounin and captain of the ANBU by 11."
"How old are you now?"
"24. You?"
"25. So you've been ANBU captain for 13 years?"
"Pretty much!"
There was silence and then, "Freak."
"I kno—huh? HEY!"
The two argued their way to where Tsunade was with the Naminos. Kakashi and Kireina stopped their bickering and bowed showing the respect the title Hokage deserved. Tsunade acknowledged their presence with a wave of her hand then went back to discussion with Kireina's parents. After awhile, the three broke conference and turned to Kakashi and Kireina who were now engaged in jyankenpon. The three older adults sweatdropped. Tsunade broke their game apart and got their attention.
"Kireina," she began seriously.
"This can't be good," said girl muttered.
Tsunade hesitated, "Well...the Hidden Leaf knew your parents were coming with a ninja escort. Unfortunately, we didn't know their ninja escort was their daughter, so we don't have a place prepared for you."
Kireina shrugged, "It's fine. I'll sleep in the forest. I'm used to it by now."
Tsunade shook her head, "Absolutely not. We will find a place for you. I'm sure no one would mind housing you for a short while until we find somewhere for you."
"She can stay with me."
Four pairs of eyes turned on the silver-haired jounin.
Kakashi begin to sweat at the looks he was receiving, "What?"
"For one, you're a male. Number two, not only are you male, but you're a perv—" Tsunade was cut off.
"I don't mind," Kireina cut in, "I've stayed with males on other missions before. As long as he's in a separate room, I'm fine with it."
"Are you sure? We don't know how long you'll have to stay here until your parents can find a permanent residence," Tsunade said.
"Permanent residence? I thought they were just visiting!" Kireina exclaimed.
"Your father and I have been thinking about moving to the Leaf for awhile. We were originally just going to visit, but after looking around the village some more today, we really like it. It'd not as hot here," Ayume explained, "We've already contacted Gaara and he said it was okay for you to stay as long as you still go back and do missions for him. Of course, this is up to you. You live by yourself in Sand, so you're perfectly welcome to return there, but we'd like you to stay with us."
Kireina looked at them blankly, then shrugged, "I could use a change in environment. I'll send Daisuke and Yuki to get our stuff."
"No need," came a new voice.
Kireina whirled around and squealed at the sight of her best friend. Temari laughed and ran to Kireina to give her a hug.
"You brought all our stuff?" Kireina asked.
"Well...I didn't specifically," Temari said sheepishly.
"TEMARI!"
Temari winced, "I made Kankuro carry it all and Gaara came too."
"Kazekage-sama's here? He shouldn't be here! With all three of you gone as well as my family, who's running the village?" Kireina gasped.
Temari grinned, "A Gaara Bunshin. No one from Sand knows he's here."
Kireina shook her head, "I hope you guys don't do that often."
Temari smiled innocently, "Only when our friends are in dire need."
Gaara walked up to the two girls his sand trailing him formed as a big cup carrying a bunch of suitcases and packages. Kankuro followed him with all three of his puppets out and carrying stuff. He was scowling with displeasure at his puppets being used this way.
Kireina bowed to Gaara then looked up her eyes twinkling, "Hey brat."
Gaara rolled his eyes, "Where do I put this Reina-nee-chan?"
Kakashi and Tsunade gaped at the term of affection Gaara had added to Kireina's name.
Kakashi turned to Kireina, "Can I call you Reina-chan?"
Kireina stared at him, then replied, "Only if I can call you Kashi-kun!"
Kakashi looked stumped for a moment then slowly nodded in agreement. Kireina cheered and gave Kakashi a big hug. Then turned her attention to Gaara.
"Just put it at Kakashi's house's doorway. He can help me carry it in later," Kireina instructed.
Gaara nodded and his sand cup disappeared only to reappear a few moments later, "How did you know I knew where his house was?"
"Kakashi said you were rather famous when you came to Hidden Leaf 3 years ago. Knowing you, you probably thoroughly checked out your surroundings," Kireina explained.
"Are you living at Kakashi's house?" Temari asked curiously.
"Only temporarily," Kireina answered.
Before Kakashi could even blink he found himself pinned to a tree with sand, wind, and a puppet holding a kunai to his throat. Everyone except Temari and her brothers blinked. The three Sand siblings were at Kakashi's side in a second.
"If you do anything to her..." Gaara let the threat hang.
Kakashi blinked and opened his mouth to answer.
"Temari! Gaara! Kankuro! Let him go! He won't do anything to me! Remember who you're talking about here? I won't let him do anything," Kireina yelped obviously annoyed with her Sand friends.
The three slowly released him and returned to the rest of the group. Kireina dashed over to Kakashi and helped him up from where Gaara had unceremoniously dropped him.
"I'm sorry," she whispered helping him brush his clothes free of sand.
Kakashi's visible eye arced, "It's perfectly fine. They're just looking out for you. I would have done the same if I were them."
Kireina smiled in relief and the two returned to the rest of the group.
"We're going to go now. It's getting kind of late," Kireina announced.
They said their goodbyes and then Kakashi and Kireina left. When they reached there Kakashi helped Kireina carry her stuff in. Kireina looked around his house.
Kakashi sweatdropped, "Sorry. It's not much."
Kireina turned to him and smiled, "It's perfect."
She left to explore more of the house and found there was one bedroom with the bathroom across from it. Next to the bathroom there was a room she presumed to be an office. Kireina blinked and slowly closed the door to that room. She turned to find Kakashi enter the bedroom with her stuff.
She yelped, "What do you think you're doing?"
Kakashi reappeared with a blanket and pillow, "Um, moving your stuff into my room and getting a spare pillow and blanket for myself for the couch?"
Kireina shook her head and crossed her arms, "I can't let you sleep in the living room! I'll sleep in there."
Kakashi frowned, "No, I won't be able to sleep knowing I let a pretty lady sleep on the couch while I'm in my bed. If you sleep in the living room, then I still will and no one will take the bedroom."
Kireina hesitated then uncrossed her arms defeated. Kakashi threw the pillow and blanket onto the couch then gently steered her into the bedroom. Kireina looked around his room. It was pretty empty except for the bed and a couple of bookshelves. On the windowsill there were two pictures and a potted plant. The pictures were of Kakashi in his genin days with his team and Kakashi with his own genin, now chuunin, team. Carved on the plant's pot were the words "Mr. Ukki". She turned to find Kakashi gone and the door closed. She grinned then threw herself onto the bed burying her face in the pillow. She breathed in and she could smell a unique scent on the pillow. It smelled like a mix of forest and waterfall.
'Must be Kakashi's scent,' she thought.
She jumped off the bed and hurried outside to find him. He was in the kitchen making something to eat. He turned when she entered.
He put his hand on the back of his head and grinned, "Sorry, I only have time to make ramen. I hope you don't mind."
Kireina smiled and threw her arms around him for the third time that day. Kakashi was surprised and uncertainly hugged her back.
'She smells like the forest, apples, and peaches?' he mentally wondered.
Kireina let go of him and turned red, "Sorry, I just wanted to tell you thank you for your kindness."
Kakashi shrugged and turned back to the stove, "It's no problem. I'm almost done with the ramen. You can go change and it should be done by then."
Kireina nodded then left. 10 minutes later she returned with her hair wet and changed.
"I took a shower at the same time," she told Kakashi.
He nodded.
"I'll take over housework from now on." Kireina informed him, "It'll be my way of paying you back."
Kakashi tried to protest but Kireina held up a hand to silence him. Kakashi frowned but let it be. The two were soon seated at the kitchen table eating ramen. Kakashi wondered how he was going to eat. Ramen was hot, especially freshly cooked. He couldn't wolf his food down like he usually did. His problem was solved when Kireina looked up at him and realized his dilemma. She chuckled then turned around to allow him privacy. Kakashi grinned then pulled down his mask to begin eating. When the two were done they retired to the living room to talk. When it was getting late, Kireina went to the bedroom and Kakashi settled himself in a comfortable position on the couch.
Gaara's a little OOC, but I love Gaara so I can't bear having him be a crazy psychopath. -
