"What the hell were you thinking?" Kakashi shouted looking down at her, Damsen merely looked past him at the Sakura tree, noticing this he growled and her attention fell back to the grey haired ninja.
"We we're just messing around Kashi, we didn't want to harm your students…much," Damsen said honestly, but Kakashi wasn't convinced his body language showed it.
"You're always getting yourself into trouble, maybe it's a good job you're not in the ANBU," he muttered, Damsens eyes widened slightly as she put her defences up and glared at him.
"You would say such a thing wouldn't you, you probably think everything's a good job, but whatever, bye," Damsen turned around and ran back to her flat, her hand shaking as she tried to ft the key into the lock on the door, as soon as she got in the gripped the table and turned it over sending paper flying around the room. Her eyes met the large picture of herself and sensei, she growled slightly and gripped whatever she could find and threw it around her, this only stopped when her mirror smashed cutting her cheek, her eyes began to water but she breathed in deeply until her head felt light.
She tried to sleep as much as she could to keep her mind from wandering, considering she only went to sleep at three in the afternoon she was surprised when she woke to see the clock reading half ten the next morning, she was more upbeat than the day before and she stepped out of her small flat positive that the day would be a good one. No sooner had she convinced herself that an orange cat knocked her over, she tumbled to the floor and looked up to see the cat was actually a person, the boy from Kakashi's team.
"He he, sorry lady," the boy scratched the back of his head and stuck his hand out to held her up.
"It's alright kid," Damsen smiled brightly down on the boy who looked up in enthusiasm.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki and I am going to be the next Hokage!" His passion was clear in his eyes and it caused her to grin widely.
"I sure hope so Mr. Uzumaki, my name is Damsen, Damsen Insuma," she ruffled his hair which caused him to smile at her.
"Anyway I've got training," his smile fell slightly and his head dropped.
"Have a good time Naruto, and tell Kakashi I'm sorry," Damsen smiled once more at the boy before jumping to the roof and off into the main village square.
Damsens hair blew around her as she ran towards the Hokage's office, her eyes bright and full of joy, she didn't even bother to knock on the door and she stared in surprise at the three sound sand ninja before her.
"Damsen, will you show these three to their room arrangements please?" the Hokage grinned lightly and she nodded and led the way to the small visitor houses.
"Thank you for you're help," a monotone voice came from the youngest of the three; he had red hair and tattoo reading love on his forehead.
"It's no problem," Damsen smiled briefly, the boy noticed this and looked deep into her eyes.
"Don't mind Gaara," the female said, she nodded towards her brother who was watching her intently.
"Well, if you ever need anything I'll be close by," Damsen stared also at the small boy his eyes looked like a dull form of Naruto's strange how she read them like that. "Anyway I should be leaving is there anywhere else you would like me to show you?"
"Can you show us somewhere to eat," murmured the boy with kitty ears.
"Sure thing kitty," Damsen smiled brightly and the girl laughed at the sight of her brother.
"My name isn't kitty it's Kankuro," the boy replied dimly.
"Right, and you're name is?" Damsen asked throwing her finger in the girl's direction.
"Temari," she smiled weakly, Damsen opened their door and lead them to her favourite food shop, it was filled with many sweet items, Kankuro and Temari ordered some food however Gaara didn't.
"Don't you want anything Gaara?" Damsen looked down at him as he merely looked away, a few minutes later she shoved a lolly into Gaara's hand. "Have it, you need something to eat, hope you do well in the exams!"
Gaara's eyes widened slightly as he stared up at the woman, he watched her walk away before placing the lolly delicately into his mouth and savoured the taste, Damsen on the other hand made her way back to the Hokage.
"What is it that you wanted?" the Hokage questioned.
"It's about the chunin exams," the man immediately looked up, Damsen however ignored his sudden interest. "I would like to have a better role."
"Of course, you will join Anko in the 2nd exams, the forest of death," the Hokage smiled brighter than ever and Damsen smiled also but the old man could not tell that it was fake.
"Thank you Lord Hokage, I should begin preparing," Damsen turned and walked away.
"You know we are all very proud of you, believe me you won't regret this," the Hokage rose and wrapped his arms around her; she turned slightly and returned before leaving the room to find Anko. Unsurprisingly she found her at a sweet store, her eyes shone as she saw Damsen walk over.
"Hey Anko, I'm here to talk to you about the exams I'm helping you out a bit," Anko beamed at this and leapt on her, she always was rather childish.
"Great! Well if you want I can do all the talking you keep an eye on them while they're in their how does that sound?"
"Sounds fine to me, that was pretty easy," Damsen stared as Anko reached back and touched her curse mark.
"Is it hurting you?" Damsen questioned as she began to get panicked.
"No just itchy," Anko smiled convincingly she didn't want to trouble Damsen with Orochimaru problems.
Damsen stared at her neck and Anko awkwardly walked away from her, Damsen sighed gently, when she looked up she noticed the orange clad ninja sat inside the ramen shop, Damsen moved to sit next to him.
"Hey Damsen," Naruto smiled while eating his ramen.
"Heya Naruto, how was your training?" Damsen half hoped that Naruto wasn't competing in the exams.
"Great, only 2 more days to the exams, will you come and watch me please?" Naruto was practically begging her and it wasn't hard to say yes. "Thank you!"
"You know I'm one of the examiners this year," Damsen explained, this caught Naruto's attention. "So you'll be seeing me quite a bit."
"Really!"
"Really what?" Kakashi's head poked into the ramen shelter.
"Damsen's an examiner at the exams," Naruto said grinning, Kakashi looked at his friend and also smiled.
"It's good to hear that you're doing so last time I heard you rejected the offer," Kakashi sat down on Naruto's other side just as her finished his bowl.
"Yeah it is, hey, Naruto you don't mind if me and Kakashi have a little chat do you, it's exam stuff so we can't let you hear," Naruto nodded and left the shelter after giving Damsen a death hug.
"So what is it you wanted to tell me?" Kakashi questioned while ordering their ramen.
"I'm helping Anko, but it seems her curse mark is playing up," Damsen watched as Kakashi look at her in sympathy. "I'm not going to quit on the job I just thought you should know."
"Damsen you know no one would hold it against you if you did decide not to do it," Kakashi smiled lightly through his mask.
"Yeah, I know but I need to do this, I need to get over the past," Damsens eyes weren't shining in fact Kakashi had never seen them as dark in his life but he tried to ignore this.
"Just eat you're ramen Damsen, you know we're all behind you every step of the way," Kakashi smiled as he pushed the bowl in front of her but she shook her head and got up.
"Sorry Kakashi, but I think I'm going to just take a walk," Damsen wandered off but Kakashi turned away, he understood her in a way but he still didn't know everything that had happened.
