"So...what do you like to do for fun?"
Uzu shrugged. "Reading, listening to music, and napping mostly."
Kakashi snorted in amusement. God she sounded like his buddy, Shikamaru, from school. That guy was so lazy that Kakashi was surprised that he even bothered to breathe just to keep himself alive. "What's your favorite color? Your birth date? Your favorite song? Did you have a pet growing up? Who was your first..." He wanted to ask her who her first crush was, but the question seemed very invasive. And besides that if he asked her that, then she would have the right to ask him the same thing, and he didn't want to recall anything else that could make him sick. So he changed it half way. "Friend? Did you have many?"
"Whoa! Slow down, let me think a second. My favorite colors are royal blue, scarlet and ruby red, white and creamy off white, lavender purple, silver, black, emerald, aqua, turquoise-"
"So almost every color in the rainbow?"
"Sort of. My birthday is October the tenth, but I don't usually celebrate my birthday until the thirty first."
Kakashi leaned forward in his seat and made a humming sound. Ah, so she was a Halloween girl.
Wonderful.
This meant that he would be escorting her around the block on Halloween this year. Meaning that he'd have to break out his base ball bat to protect her virtue, depending on how she dressed. No, wait, scratch that. She was a very pretty young woman and no matter how she dressed on Halloween, it wouldn't change the fact that she was pretty and all of the guys on the block and in school would be panting after her.
"Do you usually dress up for Halloween?"
She wrinkled her nose and shook her head no and he blinked at her. "Never?" He asked curiously. Again she shook her head no.
"My favorite song is sort of a toss up between, The Mission, Mizunderstood, Sick love Song, and Till I Collapse. No pets. And my first friend...well, I didn't have one for long because my mom and I moved around a lot so I didn't really have friends growing up. I just sort of played by myself. It was less painful for me in the long run. Ya know?"
Kakashi nodded his head. He understood all right. He had stopped bothering to make friends after the last time he had been placed in a foster home, he figured that it would hurt him less if he didn't give a damn one way or another what his foster parents did to the other kids. He'd learned his lesson the hard way and still couldn't function right today, because of it.
"Yeah... I know."
"What do you like to do for fun?" Uzu asked innocently and Kakashi studied her for a second before saying.
"Depends on what day of the week it is. Mondays and Wednesdays I go down to the park and hustle people for pocket cash. Tuesdays and Thursdays, I go to the abandoned lot down the street and get into fist fights-" She gave him a shocked look and he chuckled a little bit.
"I'm almost afraid to ask what you do on Fridays, Satudays and Sundays."
He gave her a tight lipped smile. "Then don't ask." Because what he did on those days would likely embarrass her since those were the days that he went to the local high school and met up with the some of the school sluts and got a little action before he walked home and smoked a cigarette.
"Then I won't."
"Good." Kakashi said as he glanced at the clock on the wall just above his desk and smiled as he heard the front door slam downstairs and their father yelled.
"I'm home!"

Okay, kittens.
I'm not updating this story again until I have at least 30 reviews.
And to move the story along I'm going to have a brief time skip of one or two months.
