Disclaimer: Naruto ain't mind and never will be.
Heyo! Here's another chappie. Sorry it took so long, I was busy with high school applications, testing, exams coming up, homework applications, and Harry Potter chapters.
Natsuyori's Come Come Konoha: Section 1- Kakashi
Chapter 12- Settling in
"What the hell?!" exclaimed Kakashi, as he got up from his seat. Tsunade shook her head, as she closed the file that laid on her desk. "It's your turn for a roommate," she said, as she picked up the file and placed it back in the file cabinet in her office, "end of discussion." Kakashi reluctantly nodded and with slumped shoulders, as he made his way out Tsunade's office and down to the streets of Konoha.
It was nearly three weeks since that night when he rescued Yuki and she was still in the hospital. At least now she was conscious and was going to leave the hospital soon. But to top all of that, Tsunade had just assigned her to be his roommate. I mean, he always had that spare room in his two bedroom apartment, but that was his guest room. His guest room would be turned into a permanent guest room. He sighed as he went to the bridge to meet his students.
"Ohayo," he said as he made his appearance. Naruto and Sakura looked angry as usually, and Sasuke was just behind Sasuke.
"Most people don't consider 2 in the afternoon, a morning!" exclaimed Naruto. Kakashi smiled under his mask, as he patted a stubborn looking Naruto on the head.
"I was lost on the road of life," he recited. It was like the thirtieth time he used the excuse, but he was quite lazy to make up another excuse, which he knew that he's students never believe anyway.
"Today, we're going to practice how to focus you're minds," said Kakashi, as they began to walk into the forest outside of Konoha. "We are going to train our minds to pick up the slightest sounds or movements. We're going to be doing some fly training." Naruto and Sakura looked absolutely shocked.
"Fly training!?" exclaimed Naruto, as they came up to a small hut that looked very much like a very small, one room dojo. Kakashi nodded and opened the sliding door of the dojo to reveal a rather plain room with hard wood floors and screens as walls. The afternoon light lit up the windowless room through the transparent screens.
"Yes," said Kakashi, handing them each a pair of chopsticks (can you see where this is going?), "I want you to sit on the ground and try to catch one fly with your chopsticks, with your eyes closed. This training will help you to rely on your other senses rather than your sight, which might not always be the best to rely on. I'm going to release three flies, one for each off you. But first let me show you how its done." He closed the door behind the him and students and took out a pair of chopsticks of his own. He sat down on the floor with his legs under him and closed his eyes." Now, watch quietly," he said.
Suddenly out of nowhere, a faint buzzing could be heard in side the room. Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura remained dead silent. A fly with a yellow spot on its back soon buzzed near Kakashi and with an instant, the fly was square between the tips of Kakashi's chopsticks. The sensei opened his eyes. "It's not as easy as it looks," said Kakashi, as he let the fly go, "as you develop your other senses, you will be able to move up levels. Let me show you. I want you three to be as noisy as you can. A couple of flies will come out and I will be able to find the same fly as before." The three nodded.
Naruto made copies of himself and then all of them began to sing off key and stomp around. Sasuke went stomping around and clapping loudly. Sakura just stood there and began screaming as high as she could. The noise volume was crazy, as Kakashi just sat there with his eyes closed. Soon, a hundred flies flew around Kakashi, but he just remained their silently listening. It was only a few more seconds before the same fly was caught. The trio stopped immediately. Kakashi opened his eyes, let the fly go, and got up.
"Your turn," he said to them. The three quickly sat on the floor and closed their eyes, and waited for the flies to come. Soon the there was three flies buzzing around them. Kakashi laughed as Naruto made a leap for a fly and end up failing on his face. Sasuke and Sakura just remained their silently. "This is going to be awhile," Kakashi said as he stepped out of the hut and closed the door behind him swiftly to make sure no flies escaped. He sat down on the porch outside of the hut and took out his little orange book. A few minutes later, he was engrossed with his book that he barely notice that something was approaching the hut till the person was starring at him square in the face.
"Hey!" exclaimed Yuki, causing Kakashi to jump slightly. He put his book back in his pouch. Yuki sat down besides him and handed him a soda identical to the one she held in her hand.
"They let you out of the hospital already?" Kakashi said opening the soda and turning his head to take a sip of the soda.
"Yeah and I've come to see my new roommate," she said smiling as she took a sip of her own soda. Kakashi nodded.
"Hokage-sama told me that I could help train your students up a bit since I've really nothing else to do for awhile," she said, as she leaned back against the screen to relax. Kakashi nodded. He had sorted suspected that Tsunade would do this.
"They're working on fly training," he said. She nodded, taking another sip of her soda.
"You know," she started uneasily, "You reminded me of someone. Someone that I used to know..." Kakashi stiffened. He knew exactly who she was talking about. The sudden noise of Naruto falling and Sakura screaming at him interrupted them and well, saved Kakashi. They immediately got to their feet and open the screen door, to find Naruto half way stuck through the screen on the other wall.
"Naruto you idiot!" screamed Sakura, "you let the flies get away!" Sasuke just rolled his eyes as he got up and walked over to Kakashi and Yuki. Kakashi and Yuki just laughed, as Kakashi walked over to Naruto and pulled him out of the screen and onto his feet. Sakura just stood their fuming, as Naruto rubbed his head in embarrassment.
"
Well," said Kakashi still smiling, "I guess that ends fly training for today. At least until we get the screen repaired." Yuki still laughing, nodded her head. "I guess we should help Yuki move into my apartment today then." The students looked absolutely flabbergasted (I've always wanted to use that word).
"WHAT!?!" they exclaimed at their teacher. The other two just smiled as they glanced at each other.
"Tsunade-sama, has just assigned Yuki for my roommate," he said chuckling. Two hours later, the tired students finished moving into the apartment. For someone who just returned to a permanent home, Yuki had a lot of stuff. There was clothes, more clothes, furniture, and other trunks filled with who knows what.
"I've kept these in storage for the longest time," Yuki said smiling as she hung up her clothes in her new bedroom. The students and their sensei nodded, as they rested themselves on the floor. It seemed that they had done all the lifting in this move. "Why don't we all go out tonight so I can meet everyone?" All of them nodded.
It was another hour later, when the five made their way to Naruto's favorite ramen bar. Actually they should really started calling it that since it really was Naruto's favorite ramen bar, but still the name remained the same. Already eating at the place was Gai, Asuma, Genma, Iruka, and Kurenai eating, drinking, and chatting away.
"Hello Yuki-san!" exclaimed Gai as soon as he caught a glimpse of her. Yuki smiled politely smiled politely as she received the longest hug she had ever received. It was another minute before everyone was able to greet and introduce themselves to Yuki. The ramen girl soon took their orders, and everyone settled down to eat.
"So Yuki, I heard that you were rooming with Kakashi," said Genma. Everyone, who didn't already know, stopped suddenly and starred at Yuki and Kakashi. Gai looked furious! Kakashi just smiled and Yuki nodded, as she continued to eat (Kakashi eats when the others are distracted, so don't ask me about that).
"You should live with me!" exclaimed Gai getting up from his seat. Everyone rolled their eyes at his declaration.
"But Gai, you live in a one room apartment," said Kurenai, pulling him back down into his seat, "what are you implying?" That shut Gai up as he turned slightly red.
The conversations soon continued, but during the entire night, Kakashi found himself captivated by Yuki's smile, laugh, and-WAIT! He remembered he'd never do it again. He had to stop this! It was another hour, before everyone headed back home. Kakashi and Yuki headed towards their apartment. The walked was relatively silent, as each were quite full and tired. They soon reached the front door and with a quick good night, the two made their way into their separated rooms. Kakashi, tiredly, slipped down to his pants and quickly slipped under the warm covers of his bed.
Kakashi was in that place again. That sickly place he visited every night. Itachi was kneeling in front of him at the water's edge. And like he did every night, he grabbed Kakashi by the neck and dunked him into the pool of water. When Kakashi resurfaced this time though, standing bedside's Itachi was Yuki."I know who you are," she said, "I know who you are." She kept repeating herself as Itachi continually dunked him down causing him to vomit.
"Kakashi! Wake Up!"
"I know who you are," she repeated expressionlessly.
"Kakashi!"
"I know who you are."
"Kakashi! Wake Up," said Yuki, as Kakashi slowly opened his eyes to see Yuki sitting besides him on his bed. He also noticed that his face was wet from his sweat and tears. Yuki looked worried, too.
"Kakashi," she repeated, "you were screaming in your sleep. You were also tossing and turning when I came in." She then handed him a glass of water, which Kakashi took and downed.
"You alright?" she asked, as she got up from his bed. Kakashi nodded. "Okay, then if you need me, I'll be in my room." And with that she left, closing Kakashi's door behind her. Kakashi just sat laid their on his bed thinking. But then it hit him, she had seen him without his mask!
Sorry for the long absence. Kind of busy. Please R&R!
