ON WITH THE SHOW!!!

Seeing as I was practically confined to Kakashi's home, I had to rely on my friends to come to me. And boy, were there lots of visitors. In a time period of only five days, Ino-Shika-Cho and Asuma all came to visit with Team Yamato (to my delight) to have a large bbq to celebrate my odd returning. I mostly hung out with Naruto before Team Gai arrived with Karaoke and was dragged into the middle of Kakashi's backyards by Gai. "Maye, you are the sunshine in my eyes. Your skin is too perfect for this world. And with my good looks beside yours, we could rule the world." His eyes had turned into hearts then. "Will you be my girlfriend?"

He shouted this so loud that I went tomato red when everyone stopped dancing, the music stopped and all eyes were on us. I looked helplessly at Naruto, then at Kakashi who was standing with a bottle of Sake next to Yamato. They all laughed at me, leaving me to fend for myself. I sighed. "Look Gai. I'm not interested in you, okay? Don't ask me ever again please."

I walked away leaving Gai crying in the middle of the backyard and with a satisfied smile on my face. It was going to be a good night tonight. I made my way over to Yamato and Kakashi and took a bottle of Sake out of the cooler beside them. "Thanks for the help guys." I said sarcastically.

They sniggered and took large gulps of their drinks. Suddenly Yamato spoke up. "Maye, your brother is a very special Jinchuuriki, and I would like to know what kind of powers he wields over his sisters." I nodded, knowing where this conversation was going. "Will you meet us at the third training ground tomorrow please? I'm sure Hokage-sama would allow it."

I looked over at Naruto who was pestering Shikamaru about something and trying to get Sakura's attention in the progress, and then back at Yamato. "Sure." I leaned forward on him and slyly placed my now empty Sake bottle behind him. "Anything for my brother's sensei."

I winked at Kakashi, officially half drunk, and started to dance into the middle of the yard. As I enjoyed myself on the grassy dance floor with everyone, Kakashi and Yamato were having a secret conversation. Kakashi spoke as soon as I was out of hearing range. "Do I see a blush on your face?"

Yamato opened his mouth in shock and stammered, "K-Kakashi-sempai! I would never- I mean…I wouldn't admire the girl you are involved with in such a way."

"Involved with? What do you mean?"

Yamato shuffled on the spot and looked at Kakashi with a worried yet cunning face. "We all know that she likes you just as much as we know that Asuma and Kurenai are dating. You cannot deny it, Kakashi-sempai."

Kakashi sighed and bowed his head, fiddling with his half-empty/full Sake bottle. "I do enjoy her company. But…she is classified as a rogue ninja now. I don't want to be disgraced in the same way my fath…" Kakashi's voice trailed away as he watched me dance.

A satisfied smile played along Yamato's lips. "You won't be. The White Fang of Konoha was a person who was disgraced because he did very bad things."

"I know."

"But dating a girl who has just been in the wrong place at the wrong time…well there isn't much crime there. But then again, it isn't my place to say who you spend your time with." He patted Kakashi's shoulder, placed his bottle next to mine and began to leave. "Team Yamato!" he shouted. 3 Hai's shouted back at him in response. "Time to go!"

Sakura, Naruto and Sai rushed towards him. Naruto stopped suddenly and ran quickly back to me to give me a hug. I laughed and allowed him to go. "I'll see you tomorrow Naruto."

"Yeah! Believe it!"

I laughed and said to myself, "I will."

A few dances later and everyone except for Shino, Haley, Kakashi and I were left standing in the middle of the yard, left to clean up all the empty bottles and food wrappers. We were fast cleaners though so we finished cleaning in under 10minutes and were all getting ready for bed by 11.

I offered my goodnights to Shino and Haley, whom were both lying next to each other on the foldout couch, and made my way up to my room. I closed my door softly and withdrew my arms from my cloaks sleeves to take off my Jonin vest and navy top. I did this with ease, slipping my arms back through my sleeves and neatly placing my clothes on top of my old tallboy. Next were my pants but only just managed to get them off when I heard a small knock at my door. I quickly kicked my pants to the nearest wall, buttoned a few random buttons on my cloak and cracked the door open a bit. "Yes?"

It was Kakashi. He was still fully dressed. "Ah, about tomorrow…" I blinked. "Well, are you sure you want to fight Naruto?" he paused. "Can I come in?"

I nodded and opened the door wider. We both sat down on my bed, me closing my door so we could talk in confidence. "Why wouldn't I want to fight Naruto?"

"Well, you could activate the Kyuubi and get hurt, like really badly."

I stroked his shoulder affectionately and laughed. "Trust me, I won't get hurt." That turned out to be the biggest lie I'd ever told.

Kakashi wrapped his hand around mine and held it tightly. "Just don't do anything you'll regret later, okay?"

I smiled and nodded. And now that I had Kakashi's hand in mine, I placed it on his face, pulled down his stupid mask and kissed his mouth for a short while before pushing him playfully out of my room so I could rest up for tomorrow. It was going to be a very interesting day tomorrow.

My joke this chapter was really dumb but hey, it's a joke. No doubt something in your mind giggled or hummed sage-like in agreement.
