Chapter one: Watch out, 'Cause I'm Back!

I walked down the path through the forest, thinking to myself. It has been 10 years since I left Konoha, the Village Hidden in the Leaves.
I wonder how much has changed... I thought. Jeez, I should be here by now... I can't remember it being this far!
As I rounded a bend, I finally saw it – the gates of Konoha.
Finally! I thought, walking through them and into the town.
I look around as I walk along. Everything looks the same.
Oh my gosh! It feels so GREAT to be back! I thought, smiling happily. I made my way to the Hokage's house. I knocked on the door and it is opened by a woman with blonde hair and rather large (ahem) assets. My eyes widened.
"Tsunade-sama!" I cried, looking at her in shock.
"Mikomi? Is that you?" she says, looking at you surprised.
"Yes!"
"Oh my god! Come in!"
Tsunade drug me inside. She forced me to drink some sake with her while she told me all that happened since I left. I listened attentively, and once I was filled in, I went on my way.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE WILL BE CONTROLLING CHAKRA AGAIN TOMORROW!"
"I mean, Naruto, that is what you will be doing. There is no point in moving on until you have mastered it."
"But Kakashi-sensei-"
"That's my final word."
"Awwwww man!" moaned Naruto in anguish. Sakura looked at him in disgust.
"Sensei's right."
Inner Sakura I HATE THIS! DIE SENSEI!
Sasuke just goes, "Hn."
Suddenly they hear a cry from behind them.
"KAKASHI-KUN!"
They all spin around to see a young woman sprinting toward them.
Kakashi only has time to register her beautiful face and feel a stab of recognition before she flings her arms around his neck and pulls him into a tight hug.
"Oh Kakashi-kun, it's been ages!" I cried, jumping up and down, still holding onto his neck. Kakashi blushes furiously.
"Hello Mikomi." he says, as I pulled away from him breathlessly, my eyes shining. Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura are all stared at me in shock. Kakashi looked into my beaming face and I felt a huge leap down in my stomach.
It has been ages.
He turned to his students.
"Everyone, this is Jin'ai Mikomi. She used to be in my team back when I was a Genin. Mikomi, these are my students. Introduce yourselves please."
Naruto is the first to speak. He gave me a dazzling smile.
"I am UZUMAKI NARUTO! ONE DAY, I WILL BECOME THE STRONGEST OF THE HOKAGES! BELIEVE IT!" he shouts. I blinked, then I grinned.
"That's the spirit! Nice to meet you!"
He grinned at me, liking me already. Sasuke snorts. I turned to him, my eyebrows raised.
"What about you then?"
He smirked at me, looking at my beautiful features.
"Uchiha Sasuke."
I raised my eyebrows even higher.
"Uchiha, eh? Pleased to meet you."
Then I turned to Sakura.
"I'm Haruno Sakura." she says, giving me a faint smile. I returned it warmly.
Kakashi clears his throat.
"Well, now you know everyone, how have you been?"
I spun back around to face him, smiling.
"Oh, alright, you know. But I was homesick... so I decided to come home! Man, it feels so great to be back!"
Kakashi smiled.
"Well guys, I think it's time you all got off home. It's getting dark." he says to Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura.
They nodded, and, with a last curious look at me, walk off.

Kakashi and I watched them leave. There was an uncomfortable silence.
"So, um, where are you staying?" asks Kakashi.
"I don't have anywhere at the moment." I said, smiling ironically. He smiled.
"Why don't you stay with me?"
I turned to look at him.
"Really? Oh, thank you Kakashi-kun!"
I reached up and kissed him on the cheek. He blushed bright red.
"Um, well, come on."

We walked all the way to Kakashi's house. He opened the door and we went inside.
"Wow." I said, surprised at it's neatness.
"This is the living room, kitchen's to the left, my bedroom's upstairs, the bathroom's at the bottom of the stairs on the right." he said, indicating to the rooms as he talked.
"Where am I sleeping?" I asked innocently. He looked at me strangely.
"There's a spare bedroom next to mine." he says. I smiled.
"YAY! Thanks!"
I made a quick dinner while Kakashi took a shower, and once we both ate, we went to bed.
Hmmm! I sighed contentedly as I layed down to go to sleep, closing my eyes. I'm so glad I'm home.
