CHAPTER 10 Kimiko
--------------------
Naruto looks to Kimi as they run in silence for awhile. Then they arrive at their small hut-like shelter that seems to be used only during routine border patrols.
They walk inside as Naruto un-straps his shuriken holster and quickly disarms himself. He lets out a sigh, looking to the one mattress/sleeping bag they had managed to steal off of a wandering ANBU that was on a mission, along with the ANBU clothes Naruto was wearing.
Naruto feels Kimi press herself against him. "Naruto-kun come let's get some sleep."
Naruto lets out annoyed sigh. "Whatever"
Naruto lies down on the bag as he watches Kimi remove her ANBU armor, leaving just her underwear. Naruto lets out a sigh. "Do you always have to strip?"
Kimi giggles. "What's wrong Naruto-kun? You still too shy? I left my underwear on."
Naruto turns his back. "It's not that."
Kami lies down next to Naruto. "Naruto-kun, I won't bite again, I promise."
Naruto shrugs his back. "Let's just sleep, it's still a days travel home."
Kimi nods her head as she presses her back against Naruto. "Okay Naruto-kun."
------------------------------------------
Naruto and Kimi wake up to a chakra signature closing on them. Naruto narrows his eyes as he snatches up his weapon. "Seems they spotted us early."
Kimi nods her head. "Guess training will have to wait Naruto-kun."
Naruto frowns. "We can probably out run them. Let's go."
Kimi nods her head. "Hai,"
Naruto and Kimi take off through the trees as the Sabaku siblings, Kakashi, Team 8, 10 and Gai arrive at the hut. Kakashi looks to Pakkun who nods his head. "It's Naruto's. I'm positive, very fresh. But there's also a second scent. That of a female."
Kakashi enters the hut and he looks around. "Pakkun can you recognize the second scent."
Pakkun sniffs around and his nose brings up a familiar scent. "Hai...Kimiko Kichi former Root ANBU, 2nd division captain."
Kakashi nods his head as he lets out a sigh. "Then we probably have no chance at catching them."
Gaara narrows his eyes. "Why Kakashi?"
Kakashi frowns. "She's is nicknamed Konoha's blue flash. She mastered a similar style to the Yondaime. The only person in Konoha that has managed to come close to his speed. She is also a lethal ANBU that can easily top all of us here. I thought she was supposed to be in heavy lock down."
Pakkun shakes his head. "Not anymore, she apparently has escaped. This scent is definitely hers."
Kakashi looks down at the bed as his eyes scan a yellow hair mixed with a long blue hair. Kakashi lets out a sigh. "Both of them were here. Let's go Pakkun."
Kakashi turns to the group. "We are heading back to the village."
Gaara nods his head. "If what you say is true then we truly have no chance in catching them."
Kakashi lets out a sigh. "Be safe Naruto."
----------------------------------
Naruto and Kimiko arrive in rain country, the sun beginning to dwindle down in its last hours.
Kimiko turns to Naruto. "Naruto-kun, you've gotten faster. You know that."
Naruto shrugs. "Whatever."
Kimiko lets out a sigh. "Well this time you kept up with me. We arrived a whole two hours early."
Naruto shrugs. "Cool, then train me."
Kimiko lets out another sigh. "Naruto-kun do I have to?"
Naruto glares at Kimiko. "Yes Kimi-chan."
Kimiko leads Naruto around the back of a medium sized home. In the back is a rather large hot spring. "Follow me Naruto-kun. We are going to go to my brother's special place."
Naruto nods his head as he watches Kimiko dive head first into the hot spring.
