Chapter 2. I still own nothing!
Thirteen years had passed quickly in Konoha. Naruto was in school learning how to become a ninja. He knew everyone was afraid of him, almost everyone. He rushed out of the school building to see his Onee-san sitting in the swing waiting for him. He ran over to her and jumped into her arms. She hugged him back tightly. Her long blonde hair hanging just at her shoulders. Usagi was a jounin and was usually away on missions. She held Naruto's hand.
"What happened today at school Naru-chan?" Usagi knew it would be an interesting day.
"We were assigned our teams." Naruto seemed aggrivated yet pleased for some reason, he pulled his hand from hers and crossed his arms.
"What's your team?" She sat back in the swing again.
A blush covered his cheeks, "Sakura is on my team." His face scrunched up and the flush fell from his face. "And Uchiha Sasuke!"
"I'm sorry Naruto." She reached out and put her hand on his head. "What team number are you?"
He looked at her, confusion etched on his face. "Uh, I don't remember."
"You're on Team 7 Naruto."
"Iruka-sensei!" He cheered up quickly.
"Oh, you're on that team." She smiled to Iruka. 'This is going to be interesting.'
"What do you say we go for some Ichikaru?" Iruka offered, Naruto lit up at the aspect of food.
Usagi felt him appear behind her and Sarutobi was summoning her.
"Oh yeah! Ramen! Let's go Usagi-nee-san!" Naruto turned to her, so happy she almost said yes, just to see him happy.
"I would Naruto," she pulled a mask from her satchel and held it behind her back, "but it seems as though I'm needed. I'll catch up to you though."
"As long as you promise!" He smiled and gave her a thumbs up.
"I promise ani-chan!" She dropped a kiss on top of his head.
"Come on Iruka-sensei! Last one there pays!" Naruto started running towards the shop.
"Made matsu!"
She chuckled as she watched Naruto and Iruka run off. She stepped back into the shadows and put her mask on. She turned to face him, his white hair swaying in the gentle breeze that surrounded them. His right eye boring into her mask.
"So he's on your team, eh?" She folded her arms over her chest and leaned against the wall.
"He is. The Third Hokage wishes to see us." He crossed over to her, his fingers on the edge of her mask. "Why is it you always wear this silly mask with me?"
"Why is it you insist upon yours, Hatake-koibito?" Her slender fingers gripped the edge of the material.
"So my face is protected." He closed his eyes. They were toying with one another, his left arm wrapped around her waist, holding her still.
Her finger pushed the band away from his eye. "And covering your eye?" She felt her heart pick up as he held her in place.
"To look upon you with." He opened his eyes slowly, he pushed his weight on her holding her to the wall. He pulled her mask from her beautiful face just as she pulled his mask away as well. They drank one another in. It had been a month since they had last seen the other. Both had been away on missions and were called back after completion to accept the roles as Team Leaders. Usagi had declined since there were plenty of Jounin, volunteering to be ANBU instead. The Third had agreed. Kakashi pulled in the blue of her eyes, her nose, her golden hair flowing freely, and her lips so full, begging to be kissed.
She ran her hand along his cheek, he needed a shave. His eyes full of life, his lips, his neck, his muscular chest; her hand stopped there and her eyes locking once again with his. She leaned back closing her eyes to take a breath, her heart still pounding. She could feel Kakashi's as well. He dropped her mask and cupped her face in his hand and leaned into her. Their lips touched softly with small kisses, Usagi wanted to be closer, needed to be closer. She snaked her right arm from his chest to his hair and wrapped her left leg around his leg. Kakashi deepened the kiss sensing her need, the same need he had.
The pulled apart abruptly when they felt yet another summon from The Third Hokage. Usagi righted her mask, her blue long sleeve kimono top that matched her eyes and tightened the sash. Her black pants and boots matching the black design on her kimono. Kakashi righted his vest, mask, and band. They looked at one another making sure they were righted. She nodded to him and prepared to meet up at the Hokage's office. He quickly grabbed her wrist before she jumped off. She looked at him, her eyes searching his for a problem.
"I would like for you to come over after our meeting with Sarutobi-sama. I have some things I wish to discuss with you. Will you come?" He intertwined their fingers.
"If Lord Hokage does not need me to do anything for him and Naruto doesn't need me," she paused for a moment.
"It's about Naruto I wish to speak with you for. See you in a minute." Kakashi dropped her wrist and hopped off.
Usagi stood there for a moment, fuming in anger. "Hatake!" She shouted to herself.
An old man sat behind a desk, pipe in his mouth, the hokage hat sitting before him. He was waiting for two of his strongest Jounin, two he knew personally. They were always taking their time, observing things. Doing a more thorough job, no matter what the mission. A knock on his window drew his attention, and one from his wall as well. He ducked his head, trying to hide a chuckle.
"Think of the devils," he chuckled to himself. "You may enter." He called letting both visitors know.
"You summoned Lord Hokage?" The man and woman asked simultaneously, both bowed to show respect for their Hokage.
"Stop it you two! Come, sit down." He made a hand sign causing curtains to be lowered and light to come on in the office. "You can remove your mask Bunny." He smiled sweetly at the young girl. She sat on the edge of his desk, moving the pencil with her chakra.
Kakashi sat before the hokage, drinking in the site of his lover perched on the desk.
"You asked to see us, Hokage-sama?" Her voice filled the room drawing the attention to Sarutobi.
"Yes, Kakashi Hatake. Your team has been selected for a mission. It's S Rank mission, nothing for you to worry about." Sarutobi smiled care freely.
That worried Usagi. "Then why am I here sensei? If it's something that his team candle what is the point of calling me?" She stood from the desk, her rear facing Kakashi. 'She does have a point. Does she even realize what she's doing to me?' Kakashi wanted to reach out and pull her into his lap.
"I have no concerns about the mission being completed with ease from his team," His smile turned to a serious look of concern. "I am however, concerned about Naruto."
"As am I, Hokage-sama." Kakashi spoke up drawing attention to himself causing Usagi to turn on him, her breast were eye level and her legs were on either side of his left leg.
"Whatever," she crossed her arms over her chest and sat in the chair to the left of Kakashi. She propped her legs up on the desk and crossed her right leg over her left. "What concerns Saru-sensei?" She didn't really want to here this, she knew Naruto was feared. 'This is not what my Sensei, your student wanted for his child. He has had no one, now he has a team. He made it farther than most people expected him too. Now they're saying he'll be a genine forever and amount to nothing!' She stopped her thoughts, people didn't use to like her but now they said they felt sorry for her. Sorry that she had to take care of Naruto.
"I know how you feel about Naruto, I wish for you to fill Kakashi here in on everything about Naruto." He leaned back in his chair.
"We're planning on doing such after we left this meeting. What are your personal concerns Sensei?" She knew him all to well. She would not break her vow to her sensei, the father of the young boy she cared for; like her own.
"I worry about an incident happening." He paused waiting for a retort, when none was heard he continued. "I know you will step in if anything were to happen. Such as when he was younger."
"I understand." Usagi answered solemnly. She knew to what he was referring and had a permanent reminder.
"I don't want to see you hurt either. You're going to watch after Naruto because he hosts the Kyubbui. You are important to this whole village." She scoffed at his words. "You are, you would not be one of my personal ANBU if it wasn't the case."
"Just because someone is important to you doesn't make them important to all of Konoha." She stood from her seat. "Is there anything else you need Lord Hokage?"
"Yes, we are a family. You and Naruto are my family." He smiled at her. "I'm positive others would agree with me. You carry the will of fire so strong I wouldn't be surprised if you became Hokage one day." The young girl before his eyes had grown into a beautiful young woman.
"I'll leave that for someone like Naruto. That's all he talks about. I can't bring myself to tell him about the Fourth though." She lowered her head in thought. "If we're done here, I promised someone I would meet up with him for Ichiraku. I should be able to make at least one bowl."
Sarutobi laughed. "Of course, dear. Kakashi, I would like to speak with you a moment longer."
"Good day Kakashi-san, Lord Hokage." She bowed and was gone.
"She used a substitution this whole time, huh. She's very good."
"I could tell," Kakashi smiled.
"How is that Kakashi?" Sarutobi leaned forward in his chair to rest his elbows on the desk and his chin on his folded hands.
"She would have never shoved her," He cleared his throat, "female attributes in my face in your presence, or in your face for that matter. Her clones are like different attitudes."
Sarutobi chuckled, "She sure is a funny girl isn't she?"
"I believe she learned that from Jiraiya-sama," he paused a moment, "and his fondness for the female body." He cleared his throat from the embarassment.
Sarutobi laughed causing Kakashi to look at the old man with question in his eye. Sarutobi spoke brokenly through laughter. "I, ha ha, I remember this, HAHAHA! One time when, haha, he was training her! Ah HA! She gave him, ha ha ha, so much opposition! All I could think of," his laughter subsided, a reminiscing look upon his face, "was when Jiraiya was younger, and put me through a lot of trouble, I told him that he would have a student more troublesome than for him than he was for me. In fact," Sarutobi smiled, "I wished quite a few on him." His laughter errupted again, Kakashi joining in this time. Having his own memories of watching Usagi and Jiraiya while she was training under him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ichiraku Ramen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Nani? How did you get here so fast? What about your meeting?" Naruto shouted with excitement as he entered Ichiraku's.
"I sent a shadow clone to the meeting instead." She ruffled his hair. "I decided you were more important so you got the real me!" She pulled him into a hug. Naruto hugged her back, feeling the love, not fear, she had for him.
"I'm last Naruto," Iruka walked in with his eyes closed, a smile on his face. "Guess I'm paying for our Ramen."
Usagi smiled at him from the hug. Naruto kept hugging her. "How about we split it Iruka?" She smiled at him.
Iruka smiled back at the love this woman held for his student. "Sounds like a plan to me!"
The three of them sat and began to order. Naruto ate quite a bit and was completely stuffed! Iruka and Usagi paid half each, the damage wasn't so bad then.
"Naruto," Usagi spoke softly, "I think you should head home and get some sleep."
"Why?" He looked puzzled, 'She said just me, is she not coming home?' Worry took over his emotions.
"I have to run a few errands, pick up some groceries," she noticed he looked eagar to spend some time with her, "and you have to get ready for your first time to meet your Team Leader tomorrow."
"I can help you with the groceries! Honest! I won't get in the way!" He pleaded, giving her the puppy dog look.
"You're just going to ruin your surprise." She pouted and looked over her shoulder at him. Joy and excitement had taken over his persona.
"I'll go home right now and get ready for bed!" He rushed out of the store calling his good-byes. "Ja Iruka-sensei! Ja Nee-san!"
Usagi noticed Iruka smile at the young boy and turned to her. "I'm glad he has you Usagi. He needs as many people as he can get."
"I'm not too worried Iruka," she stood and stretched. "He's going to be something big, I can tell." She smiled at man beside her. "I better be going! See you later?" She stopped at the door to look at him.
"Sure will. I had a fun time," a slight blush covered his scared cheeks as he bowed his head slightly.
"I had fun too. Bye then!" Usagi smiled at Iruka and walked away. She made her way to the store to pick up the few groceries she needed then to her next destination. The home of Kakashi Hatake.
I own nothing at all! I hope you guys enjoyed it! Let me know what you think!
