"Yosh." Kakashi agreed, and he and Iruka darted off, Chibi giggling and me clinging to Kakashi's neck for dear life.

The trees passed by in a blur, but I couldn't see them from where I had my face pressed into the back of Kakashi's vest with my eyes shut tight and my arms in a strangle hold around his neck.
"Danny chan?" I heard him ask, and mumbled a 'huh?' into his back.
"Danny chan, we thought we'd stop for a break now, so you could relax. We should be in Eutriv city by tomorrow afternoon if we keep up this pace, but you don't seem to be handling it too well." Iruka said, helping me down from Kakashi's back.
"Guuuh…" I moaned, and dropped to the ground at their feet with an exaggerated motion.
"Don't worry Danny chan, we won't always have to travel at this speed, soon we'll have the right supplies and we can take our time." Iruka said apologetically.
"I'm not riding on his back again. I'm not a sack of potatoes…unless potatoes throw up on you…" I said, pointing at Kakashi accusingly. He just held his hands up and smiled disarmingly.
"Danny chan, you can't run as fast as we can, there would be no way you could keep up with us on your own." Iruka said diplomatically.
I took a moment to survey our surroundings, noticing the relative smoothness and the road that cut through the land heading to the west. "Are we following that road to Eutriv city?" Iruka nodded to answer me and I grinned.
"Wanna bet I can't keep up? Give me one chance and I bet you I can keep up with you no problem." I said, pulling out the capsule that my bike and my gear were stowed in.
"How?" Kakashi asked, leaning closer to try and snatch the capsule from me. I stuffed it down the front of my jacket with a frown.
"Not yet. You'll see when we get ready to go again. Remember, I never told you how I ran away from 'Lia and Tamahome so quickly the first day I got here. Now you'll get to see." I reprimanded him, smacking his hand away when he tried to grab the capsule from my jacket anyway.
"Hai, Danny Chan." He said with a sigh, and turned away.
Patting the front of my jacket, I grinned, and heard the tell tale 'poof' of a capsule being opened.
"Thanks for offering to fix lunch, Kashi chan." I said smugly as a fridge appeared in the puff of smoke.
"You're sneaky, Danny chan." Iruka said appreciatively as Kakashi just stared at me.
"I learn quickly." I stuck my tongue out with a grin.
Kakashi snorted and pulled out some ramen for us and the last of the soup for Chibi Iruka, setting them on the ground next to the small fire pit Iruka was building before restoring the fridge to its capsulated state.

"Okay Danny chan, how do you plan on keeping up with us?" Kakashi asked as we doused the campfire and got ready to leave.
I couldn't help but grin. When I had gone to get my bike that day, Kakashi hadn't really paid attention to what I was doing, just walking along reading his little orange book. He was curious to see what it was I was hiding, and he wasn't hiding it very well.
With a 'poof' the capsule that had my bike and helmet was set off, and I couldn't help myself. Dramatically, I waved my hands out like one of the girls you see at a car show, loudly proclaiming "Tadaaa! Presenting, my baby! The Kawasaki Ninja."
"Ninja?" Kakashi asked incredulously, eying the bike with distrust.
"Just get ready to go hotshot, I'll keep up." I laughed, waving them on as I crammed my head into my helmet.
Kakashi took off running, and Iruka followed after giving me a look that clearly stated 'good luck with this, I doubt it will work.'
I fired up my bike, smiling to myself at the sound it made, before kicking the side stand up and shifting into first.
My plan was to let them get ahead of me and then rocket up into 5th or 6th gear, and catch up to them, to give them the surprise of their lives.
Pulling up alongside them, I couldn't help laughing at the surprised look on Iruka's face.
We rocketed around a curve in the road, where I had to back off a bit as I felt the bike start to give on the loose rock. Once I straightened back out, I couldn't resist racing past them both, whooping and laughing as I went.

"That was definitely impressive Danny san." Iruka said after I put my bike away. We had made it to the gates of Eutriv city in just a few hours, well, 4 and a half or so, something that Kakashi had remarked 'wouldn't have been possible' if he had had to carry me the whole way. I had just laughed and punched him in the shoulder, but I did worry about that. Once my bike ran out of gas, where would I be? I definitely couldn't run that fast for a second, let alone keep up the pace that these two seemed to keep so easily.
"Thanks Iruka kun." I smiled, stowing the keys in my jacket pocket and unzipping it so I could get some air. The jacket was my favorite, but it was heavy, with padded armor in the back, shoulders, elbows and chest, which made it awkward to wear, closed for long periods of time if I had to walk.
"I.D. please?" The guard at the gate asked, looking up from his own dex to wait for mine.
"Trainer Danielle, Age 23. 2 bishounen caught, Kakashi stage san, Iruka stage san." I closed the dex to shut it up.
"Go right ahead ma'am. There are a few hotels and the like up the street to your right, and if you take a left at the main road you'll be in the shopping distri…wait just a minute ma'am. Can I ask where you got that baby from?" Suddenly the once friendly guard was eyeing me suspiciously.
"Chibi Iruka is Iruka san's son." I said, and went to step around him.
"I'm sorry ma'am, we're required to ask. Please enjoy your stay in Eutriv city." He said apologetically, still eyeing the baby that Iruka held closer to himself.
"Thank you. Come on guys. Let's find a hotel room and get settled. No need to rush back out today, we can leave in the morning." I said, and we headed off to take care of everything we needed in town.

A.N.
Okidokies! Another chapter down. I'd love to hear what you think. And if you're interested in seeing what Danny looks like, Rikona from deviantArt did a drawing of her in exchange for a subscription. art/Commission-Danny-the-biker-116059797 Just with out the spaces. I think she came out better than what was in my head! XD
Once again, if you'd like to be a trainer, please send me an email at sontsunami 06 aol .com without all the spaces, and let me know the name, appearance, age, how long in the bishi world, what bishis and how they interact. Please don't leave that info in a review, as the last time I wrote a story that let people create their own characters, it was removed because reviews aren't supposed to be used like that I guess.
Ja ne,
Tsunami
