Chapter 2 Part 1

-

It was almost two months later that Kagome finally got her first glimpse of Uzumaki Naruto.

It was eleven in the morning and she was heading to the patrol booth by the western gates to give some much needed coffee to Anko, when she saw a head full of blonde golden locks pass her by and the blue eyes of a grinning boy. She stopped and turned to watch him; encased in an orange jump suit with black linings, and a heavy looking backpack hanging on his shoulder, this was definitely Naruto.

'Naruto: he just has this air around him that you can't ignore, wears eye-raping colors of orange and blue, but mostly orange, he's loud and a ramen addict.' Sakura had said one day about Naruto when both Kurenai and Kagome went by for Kurenai's check up.

A smile tugged at her lips when he jumped atop the pole and shouted to the city, "I missed this place!"

She shook her head and hurried on, because after her little errand, she needed to get her oden and then get to work.

Anko smiled in impish delight as she sipped on her coffee, 'yumm!'

Anko watched as Raido talked and laughed with Kagome, noting how he leaned in closer and how she had his full attention, it was cute; in a tooth aching kind of way. But she wasn't particularly going to feel guilty when she did this!

"Kagome, don't you have to get to work?"

"Oh," Kagome checked her watch and immediately her eyes widened, "Oh! Um, it was nice talking to you Raido, and I guess I'll see you later, Anko?"

"Oh yeah, Kurenai wanted me to tell you that we were going to pick you up after work so we could go to the onsen, since this is possibly my last night here before I go out on another mission."

Anko watched as Kagome walked backward and nodded, "Make sure that Kurenai gets my things, will you? So we could go straight there? And 9:30pm!"

Anko waved. Kagome disappeared in the crowd and then she was gone.

"Man, one of these days I'll actually build up the nerve to ask her out. . ." Raido muttered and slumped into his chair.

Anko held in her snort and instead shrugged carelessly, "At least I know you have good taste in women."

She patted her tummy as she stepped out of the Oden shop, she was so glad that she went today to drop off Anko's coffee, otherwise she wouldn't have discovered this little treasure box of a restaurant.

She looked up and gasped when she saw a familiar face in the crowd, "Kakashi-san!"

Kagome gave him a little wave when he looked over, and he strode over to her. Another older man followed behind him. The man had long white spiky hair with red trail lines leading down from the corner of his eyes down to his chin. On his head was a headband with the kanji character for 'oil' on it. He absolutely towered over her with his large frame and she looked over to Kakashi as he finally reached her.

Almost immediately she noticed the book in his hand and she gasped. She pointed and her finger shook a little, "I-Is that . . .?!"

She couldn't tell for certain but she was sure he was smirking at her, but an idea popped into her head, a truly wicked idea. Thankfully, there wasn't much of a crowd but she wouldn't regret it either way.

Kagome drew her body against his, pressed flush against him; chest-to-chest and thigh-to-thigh and noticed the immediate reaction of his body. She brought her hands up and around his neck and weaved them in his hair just below his headband.

As his body stood stock still and his one gray eye wide in surprise, she bit her lip and willed a blush to brush her cheeks, "Nng, Kakashi-sama, won't you let me borrow this book for a bit?" She said in the most seductive voice she could muster and trailed one hand down his shoulder, arm, and over the back of his hand until she griped the book in her own hand, "Please?"

Kakashi's mind was hazy, and his mind was slowly registering the fact that she was using a lowly tactic to get his copy of Icha Icha, but dammit if it wasn't working. His mind was clearing bit by bit but his body wanted to respond to the fact that his arms were full of 100 percent woman: petite, pretty, and plenty of curves in all the right places.

He shook his mind to clear it but his thoughts scattered once more when she raised herself on her tiptoes and brought his head down to hers. Their noses were softly brushing and her lips were teasingly less than a breath away from his. Oh, her lowly tactic was working really well.

"O-ne-gai?" She said softly and all he could say was a breathy confused, "Hah. . .?"

A loud cough from behind him brought him out of his stupor and he grabbed her by the shoulders and took a step back. His mind finally returning to normal functioning levels, he tucked his book into his back pouch and pointedly ignored the stubborn pout in front of him.

He coughed into his fist, 'that was obscenely close,' "Kagome, this is Jiraiya-sama, one of the three legendary Sannin and also the author of the Icha Icha series. Jiraiya, this is Higurashi Kagome, my friend."

"Just a friend, eh?" Jiraiya chuckled and nearly laughed outright when he saw the bright blush on Kakashi's ears, the only thing he could he see covered in red. But this Higurashi woman was strangely unaffected by his teasing. And why did her last name sound so familiar? Higurashi, Higurashi. . .he shook his head and smiled at the pretty young woman.

"I don't suppose I could get your autograph, Jiraiya-sama??" Her hands were clapped in front of her chest and she was giving him the biggest puppy dog eyes with the cutest pout that he caved almost instantly.

"Anything for you, sweetheart." He smiled roguishly. She beamed at him and pulled out Icha Icha Violence and handed it to him with a giggle.

"Is this how you're going to work?" Kakashi asked with a raised eyebrow, finally noticing her state of dress and doubly appreciating the eye candy.

Kagome was dressed in a short white silk kimono that stopped five inches above her knees. There was a blue sakura petal scheme running from her left shoulder that ended at the right bottom hem, with a yellow obi tied around her waist and tied into a neat bow in the back. Her hair was down in waves and she wore black high shinobi sandals.

"Well, my boss wanted to implement uniforms, sort of like cosplay uniforms, and I strictly told him no maid uniforms and this is the first experiment. What do you think?" She gave him a slow turn and smiled, "It's pretty comfortable."

"Ah!" Kakashi finally realized looking shocked, "You're Tomoko from Icha Icha Paradise!"

"Bingo! I mean, I'm not particularly tall or tanned but with the blue eyes and the blonde wig, I think it's going to be okay."

"Hmm," Jiraiya looked thoughtfully at Kagome examining her a bit closer, "You need a pose to complete the look. Or maybe you have the attitude all wrong. I don't know, but something's missing."

"I see what you mean." Kakashi added on, staring at the expanse of leg displayed.

"Extend your arms and do a little circle again." Jiraiya ordered doing a little circle with his own finger.

Both Jiraiya and Kakashi hummed louder when they got an eyeful of her back.

"I got it!" Jiraiya hit his open palm with his fist. "You look cute, but you're going for the Tomoko look. You need to look more serious, like a regular femme fatal. I think I know what you need." Jiraiya ushered Kakashi closer to him and Kagome grew nervous with the whispers.

Soon after Kagome was walking away with a short black wakizashi strapped to her back with its handle peeking out from behind her shoulder that Kakashi pulled out from his weapon scroll.

Kakashi and Jiraiya walked their own way to catch up with Sakura, Naruto, and Tsunade.

"So she's just a friend, eh? Nothing more?" Jiraiya egged on, interested. The way he saw it was that Kakashi needed a woman in his life or at least a love interest. Maybe he needed to get laid? He shook his head to clear those thoughts.

"Just a friend." Kakashi intoned with his nose buried in his book.

"I dunno, an earnest and beautiful woman like that. . .you don't come across many like those in your lifetime." Jiraiya shrugged.

"Are you trying to give me love advice?" Kakashi asked incredulous with a raised eyebrow.

"Well who else better than me?"

"When you start making progress with Tsunade, I'll start listening to you in all love matters."

"Why you. . . cheeky little brat!"

Kakashi dodged the swipe to his shoulder and moved out of Jiraiya's arm range.

He turned a bit and looked from the corner of his eye at Jiraiya, "I'll. . .think about it."

Jiraiya harrumphed and crossed his arms across his chest and turned his head away, like a petulant child.

A/C: The way things are going in the manga . . .I'm going to be a little freaked out if I what I imagined really happened. Just a little.

Sorry this was a little short, but it was the only way I could cut it up into parts without making it weird.

Honestly . . . my stories, I know, are a bit tame. But I like 'em that way. And they still feel sort of one-shot-ish. I don't know how to explain it really well but I know my story doesn't have that much action and I'm not really great with writing amazing stories with plots. Yeah, plots.

But that's alright with me for now.

I'll get better as I write more. . .I promise.

In the mean time leave me a review, yeah?

(I just saw the really cool green button that they added for , and you know you wanna try it out. At least. . .I know I want you to. Haha!)
