Kakashi's pov

I haven't seen her since she left the hospital and that was a week ago. (Why did Tsunade have to send me on a mission) It was a weeklong escort mission and the woman I was escorting was some lord's daughter. It took forever to get there and I was really starting to lose my sanity. The damn woman kept trying to come on to me and it drove me insane. As soon as she was there I left as quickly as possible. The gates of Konahoa started to some into view (Finally, I've never been happier to see those gates) I quickly made my way through the village and to the Hokage's Tower to let Tsunade know the mission was a success. I was halfway there when I ran into something, I take that back someone and it happened to be the one person stuck on my mind lately.

I quickly grabbed her before she could fall. When she opened her eyes (sky blue today) she looked quite shocked to see me. A blush suddenly spread across the bridge of her nose and her cheeks. She looked even more beautiful when she blushed. It took me a moment to realize that she was pressed flush against me and my arms were wrapped around her waist. She felt perfect, like she was made just for me, a perfect fit. Haileigh was warm and soft, yet at the same time I knew this woman wasn't the type to let people walk all over her.

I was broken from my thoughts when she spoke "Um, Kakashi you can let go of me now" I really didn't want to but I let go and took a step back. (IDIOT!) I rubbed the back of my head nervously. "Sorry about that" She just smiled "It's alright" I looked her over, today she was wearing a black tank that ended just above her belly button with a mesh shirt underneath, black capris pants, she had bandages covering the rest of her left leg, a pair of black nin sandals, and gloves covering her hands. Her eyebrow ring was missing but her earrings were still in place. Her hair looked like she had just gotten out of bed, and was that a Leaf headband?

(Why was she wearing a Leaf headband) Then I noticed the kunai pouch on the back right side of her hip and one on her right leg. There was a hand waving in front of my face trying to get my attention. "Kakashi, are you alright?" "Why are you wearing a Leaf headband?"

"Oh, I forgot that you were on a mission" she blushed again (I love when she does that) "While you were away I went and asked Tsunade if I could become a nin. She agreed and set me up with a couple different teachers. I did so well throughout my training and when she had me tested she ranked me as Jounin right away" I was shocked (It only took her a week to become a Jounin?) "Sorry Kakashi but I've got to go. See ya later"

I watched her walk away and couldn't help but watch her hips swaying. I shook my head as I looked away. (I need a really cold shower. What the hell is wrong with me? She's only 17 and I'm 26) I walked into Tsunade's office, only to hear "You're late" Wow she seems to be in a good mood today. "Sorry I ran into a beautiful girl" (definitely no lying this time) Tsunade just looked at me then continued "The mission?" "It was a success, although I was about ready to kill the woman I was escorting"

"Why?" "She kept trying to come on to me, it was getting ridiculous" She was just about to speak when Jiraiya burst into the room. "Kakashi what's wrong with you? A beautiful girl was offering herself to you" Tsunade quickly got up and punched him through the wall. Two minutes later he was back. I quickly spoke before he could "One, she's engaged and Two, I've had a lot on my mind lately" Jiraiya was contemplating for a moment before realization dawned on him. (Why does he always have to do that?) "You're in love with someone" he smiled. (Great that's just what I needed)

Tsunade quickly finished what she was trying to say earlier "I want a written report by tomorrow" I nodded and then noticed that Jiraiya was still watching me. A knock sounded on the door and She quickly told them to some in. I turned slightly to see who it was and I froze when I saw her, I knew Jiraiya was keeping a close eye on me. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt" "It's alright…" but she was cut off "Of course it's alright" (What the hell is he doing?!) "I'm Jiraiya, and you must be the mystery girl I've heard so much about" Haileigh looked shocked, but I could see her starting to blush a little bit, now I was more than irritated with him.

"It's nice to meet you Jiraiya, I'm Haileigh" He then took her hand in his and kissed it. (WHAT IS HE DOING?!) "Like the comet?"she nodded "It suits you and you are a very beautiful young woman" He kept on smiling at her, and her blush just darkened more. I looked over at Tsunade and I could tell she was getting pissed off. (Sucks to be Jiraiya right now) "JIRAIYA! Get Out!" she then knocked him through the wall again. "Now, what was it you needed?" Haileigh looked quite shocked at what had just happened. "Oh right, I finally remembered my last name. It's Dahl, spelled D-A-H-L" Tsunade quickly wrote it down and dismissed her. "What's wrong?"

"Her last name" "what about it?" "Never mind, you can leave" I nodded and quickly left. When I got outside I could see Haileigh walking away. Running into her today seemed to make my day a little brighter.

Haileigh's pov

It's been a week since my run in with Itachi, and I haven't seen Kakashi once. I was so bored not doing anything that I finally went to Tsunade and asked her if I could become a nin. She had given me a funny look before she agreed. She set me up with a couple different teachers: Kurenai, Asuma, Gai, and Shizune. The training that they all out me through was difficult but I was able to catch on quickly. They were all quite surprised at how quickly I progressed, especially since I had never been around this before. After they were satisfied Tsunade tested my ability to see how I would be ranked.

Everyone was amazed that I had been ranked Jounin immediately. Tsunade also had me talk to Ibiki Morino. He's the best interrogator around and quite feared. They were testing to see how well I could keep a secret. It was actually kind of funny, Ibiki was trying to be all intimidating and using all the tricks he knew, but I never cracked once. He was impressed and offered me a position in interrogation. I told him I would think about it.

After all of that I was finally able to go home. I was heading in the direction of the house when someone ran straight into me. I was waiting to hit the ground but it never came. I opened my eyes when I realized that someone had caught me. When I looked up it was Kakashi and I was pressed flush against him. I tried so hard to kick the blush down but I couldn't. He had been on my mind ever since I left the hospital. I couldn't help but feel safe in his arms.

(Did I really just think that? That is so cheesy) I had to get away, I didn't want to but I had to. "Um Kakashi, you can let go of me now" He let go and took a step back. "Sorry about that" I smiled at him, he looked the same as the last time I saw him. "It's alright" I watched him as he looked me up and down, his eyes went wide when he saw the headband around my neck. I waved a hand in front of his face to get his attention. "Kakashi, are you alright?" "Why are you wearing a Leaf headband?"

I quickly told him all that I had been through while he was gone and he was quite surprised when I finished. I had to get going "Sorry Kakashi, but I've got to go. See ya later" I knew he was watching me as I walked away, and I made sure not to look back at him. Every single time I see him my mind reels. I can't help blushing and his voice makes my insides melt. I shook my head to clear it. Tsunade really wanted me to try and remember my last name. I was lost in my thoughts when I suddenly ran into something, actually it was someone by the name of Itachi Uchiha.

"Why do you always end up running into me?" He sure has a lot of nerve "Maybe you just have bad timing" I smiled my sweetest smile "Hn" "Did you know that when someone insults you, you make funny sounds" his eyes narrowed at my comment "You're the only one who runs into to me and actually insults me" "To your face right?" I have so much fun annoying him "Well, see ya later…..Not" I then proceeded on my way, not really caring. (Okay, no more running into people) Sakura was sitting on the front step of the house when I arrived. "Hey pinkette" "Hey, how are you today?" "I'm alright, how bout you?" she shrugged her shoulders slightly and went back to staring off into space. Something was wrong, she's not talking as much as she normally does. "I'm not going to force you into telling me what's going on in that head of yours" she looked at me quite startled "but when you're ready to talk, I'm right here"

She was quiet but nodded her head in acknowledgement. I was so preoccupied with everything this week I hadn't been able to notice her much. Now I felt horrible, but my head was still trying to remember what Tsunade wanted me to. I stood in front of Sakura trying to wrack my brain for my missing last name. They had told me that I had taken a lot of damage to the head, and I might be fuzzy on some memories.

I looked to my left and saw a little girl playing with a doll, the word doll sounded familiar to me. Not in the sense of the toy but something else. (THAT'S IT!) I finally remembered. "Hey, I'll be right back" I quickly headed to the Hokage's Tower to tell Tsunade. When I arrived I could hear voices coming from inside so I knocked hoping I wasn't interrupting anything important and waited til I heard a 'come in'. Tsunade sounded irritated, and when I entered there was Kakashi and some other man that I didn't know. "I'm sorry if I interrupted anything"

"It's alright…" she was suddenly cut off by the other man "Of course it's alright" (ooooookay) he quickly introduced himself "I'm Jiraiya, and you must be the mystery girl I've heard about so much about" I was quite shocked by how forward this man was, and I couldn't help the blush at the way he was looking at me. "It's nice to meet you Jiraiya, I'm Haileigh" He took my hand and kissed it. From the corner of my eye Kakashi tensed a little. (Is he jealous?) "Like the comet?"

(Wow he was the first on to notice that) my head nodded without me realizing it. "It suits you, and you are a very beautiful young woman" my blush darkened even more after that comment, I looked over at Tsunade and (man does she look pissed) "JIRAIYA! Get Out!" and then she knocked him through the wall and was quickly out of sight. "Now what was it you needed?" I couldn't believe she just did that "Oh right, I finally remembered my last name. It's Dahl, spelled D-A-H-L" she nodded and dismissed me and I left as fast as I could.

I was headed back to Sakura's again when I noticed Jiraiya up ahead, and he looked perfectly fine. "Hello again" he said to me with a smile "Hello" I paused for a moment "Are you alright?" "oh you mean about the whole getting knocked through a wall thing?" I nodded "I'm used to it" the next question I couldn't help but ask "Were you trying to get a rise out of Kakashi, when you were talking to me?" "You're quite perceptive" he studied me for a moment then continued.

"I was, and I succeeded. But after a little bit I did it for myself" confusion ran right through me "I think you're interesting and very beautiful. I really couldn't help myself" (How old was this guy?) so I asked "How old are you?" he paused before answering "I'm not going to answer that" I pouted a little bit and gave my best puppy dog eyes "uhhh" (oops, I think I broke him) He seemed like the type of guy that loves to be around woman, even if it does get him into trouble. After five minutes of him just staring at me I gave up "Oh well, I'll see you around Jiraiya" I patted him on the arm and took my leave. When I looked back he was still frozen to the same spot.
