Chapter 5 [Just another normal day.]

Rin slowly opened her eyes to the bright sunlight rays seeping through the curtains of her bedroom window. She sat up expecting her one-of-a-kind hair to end up like a broom again but… it didn't. It remained straight and beautiful, and she had never known that she was immune to bedhead. Rin smiled, once again in satisfaction of her new life and got out of bed and did her usual morning routine.

'Good Morning.'

Rin was expecting this, she could sense his chakra all night and even now, the only difference was the distance.

'Good Morning Kakashi sensei.'

'Ready for the tour?' he asked, orange book in hand, gloved neatly placed on, hair and clothing? Same as always.

'Let's go.' Rin said and went to her balcony and waited for her turn to jump down the window.

'Here's most of the groceries and where you eat…' Kakashi pointed, ' and there's the cloths shop.'

'Seems easy to remember….' Rin said and turned her head to look around the village and saw the Hokage's tower right before her eyes.

'Yeah… the Hokage's tower is always in view…' Kakashi said when he saw Rin's eyes glued to the tower as well as the stone heads.

'Hey… Hatake-san…'

'Just Kakashi sensei will do fine…'

'You do know we are being followed right?' Rin said eyes still glued to the tower.

'Yeah… the typical Anko, and Kurenai and Asuma...' Kakashi said.

'I think Kurenai sensei and Asuma sensei are dragged into this don't you think?' Rin said finally looking at Kakashi and smiling sweetly. She realized that the sun was already setting, it was glowing a special orange ray of it own as it set over the horizons. Sunsets will always be her favorite moment.

'Wanna give them a tour around the village?' Kakashi asked smirking at me.

'With pleasure.' Rin replied with the same smirk and they both disappeared, one in a puff of smoke while the other silently.

{Anko, Kurenai and Asuma}

'They just disappeared!' Anko shouted loudly.

'They probably figured out that we were trailing them.' Kurenai said matter-of-factly.

'I agree with Kurenai.' Asuma said as he lighted another new ciggarate, and stuffed his hands into his pocket.

'Wait! Wait! I see them there! They're entering the alley! Oh kami I want to see this.' Anko said and chased after them all the while paying attention on her chakra levels. Kurenai and Asuma sighed and followed her.

'Kakashi, where's the real you?' Rin's clone asked as she and Kakashi's clone were walking down the alley arm in arm.

'I'm with you by the training grounds…' Kakashi crinkled his eyebrows a bit and continued, '… and it looks like Naruto and Sakura found us.'

'Training?' Rin asked, then this time it was her turn to crinkle her eyebrows, 'oohhh…. Naruto is getting pretty good at his wind element… as well as Sakura sempai.'

'They progress really fast… I have to say… and by the way…'

'I know Anko's already on our trail.' Rin tsked, '… disappear?'

'Let's.' Kakashi said and once again thy both puffed out of site.

Not so far away Anko heaved a sigh, 'Are they toying with me? How did they even know I'm here? My chakra levels are so low… I was the best in ANBU!'

'Hey, Rin-chan? Can you do anything more cooler besides slashing?' Naruto asked.

'Well, you could fly.' Rin said.

'Fly?'

'Yeah, only if you have the ultimate full control.' Rin said.

'So I still have to keep practicing?' Naruto whined.

'Yes! Everything comes with practice. Don't you agree Sakura sempai?'

'Of course!' Sakura said.

'But how do you fly?' Kakashi asked out of the blue.

'With the wind of course… or do you want a…'

'Demonstration please!' Naruto yelled.

'Ok then, now watch.' Rin said and focused on her surroundings, especially the air.

She lifted up her hands and closed her eyes.

'Now the first thing you do is pay attention to the surroundings… the air particles that are hanging in the air. Then you imagine them surrounding you and lifting you up.' Rin was now 2 feet in the air and looking down on Naruto.

'Try it Naruto sempai.' Rin said, as she slowly floated down.

'Whoa… that was awesome….' Naruto gasped, still staring wide eyed at Rin.

'Awww… I wish I had an affinity for air now…' Sakura mumbled to herself.

'That was somewhat impressive.' Kakashi said, with his eyes already glued to the book.

'Come Naruto sempai, try it, it takes a lot of practice but you will get it. I believe you can.' Rin said and urged Naruto to start now.

'I think Anko is getting pissed at us now, and she knows we are somewhere here.' Kakashi said, looking behind him and around to check to see if Anko was anywhere nearby.

'She won't find us until…' Rin looked up at the sky for a while, '… 1 hour later.'

'I'm giving this a shot!' Naruto said and closed his eyes and concentrated.

'Good, now all you have to do is imagine them lifting you up.' Rin said.

'Good Job Naruto-kun.' Sakura said.

A moment went by and everyone could see that he is floating 1 foot in the air already. Naruto opened his eyes and looked down at us.

'I did it!' right after Naruto said it he fell flat on his bum.

'You need more concentration silly…' Rin said and help him up, 'Practice makes perfect, so why not I meet you and Sakura sempai here everyday at sunset or whenever you're free. How does that sound?' Rin asked.

'Perfect! You could teach me more about my fire affinity! And I could also teach you some medical jutsus.' Sakura said.

'Perfect! Now me and Kakashi gotta go now because Anko sensei is on our tail and is going to kill us so see you tomorrow!' Rin said in a breath and dashed off, Kakashi hot on her heels.

'Another clone? What the hell are they playing at? First they were in the alley, second they were by the shops and… and … arghhhh! I'm gonna kill them for playing me like this!' Anko screamed at herself as she jumped from roof to roof using her tracking skills to the fullest.

'A Thousand Snakes!'

Anko lifted her hand and literally a thousand snakes were slithering out from her sleeves to track non-other then Kakashi and Rin.

'I think Anko is going overboard.' Kakashi said as ten snakes surrounded them.

'Jump, she almost found us, drag this on a bit longer so she can cool off a bit first.' Rin said and jumped to the roof and started running.

'Until when?' Kakashi asked, right behind her.

'5 minutes, we'll see her right in front of the Hokage's tower.' Rin said.

'It's getting dark, but can't you just lift us up?' Kakashi asked.

'Ah…. I forgot…' Rin said, ' Ok, I just need to transfer this chakra…'

'What?' but before Kakashi was going to say anything else Rin lightly tapped him on the head.

'There!' Rin said and floated up into the air, 'take my hand.'

Kakashi held Rin's hand and slowly he felt himself being lifted up.

'I know, it'll just be temporary so… yeah, let's go!' Rin said and flew off together with Kakashi.

'And…. We're here.' Rin said as she landed softly on the ground along with Kakashi.

'So… you said Anko would be here…' Kakashi said looking around.

'Oh, we got here early… and she blocked her chakra and…' Rin sighed, '…be ready for an attack by the way…. She's gonna come at us at full force… and no, she did not clam down.'

'So, we have to fight her.' Kakashi said and took out a kunai.

'Yes. And here she comes, watch out for snakes on your right and left.' Rin said and jumped high into the air.

'ARRRGGGhhhhhhhhh!' Anko screamed her battle cry and went head first at Kakashi. But Kakashi jumped and somehow was floating in the air; he cast a questioning look at Rin who was also floating.

'The effect won't ware off until tomorrow, so enjoy for now.' Rin said and dashed down to face Anko in a taijutsu match.

'You two bastards had me in a merry-go-round all day!' Anko screamed at Rin while she dodged a roundhouse kick from Rin.

'You didn't listen to Kurenai and Asuma even though they said not to interfere.' Rin said and cut a few snakes as she increased the distance between them.

Anko grunted, ' but this will make a good challenge… So time to see what you're made of …'

'Kakashi sensei! Stay up and observe, I'll deal with this.' Rin said.

'I heard.' Kakashi replied and flew higher in observation and also enjoying the little time he had of flying.

'A Thousand Snakes!' Anko screamed and lifted her arm as snakes poured out.

'Laiton: Blue Dragon!' Rin echoed and both opponents jutsus splash against each other.

The other thousand snakes disappeared in a puff of smoke while Rin's Blue dragon was still hanging in the air dashing forward towards Anko. However, Anko was paralyzed. No one had ever managed to escape her snakes… no one….

The blue dragon still sizzling with electricity, halted in front of her.

'Rin…' the dragon said in a deep male voice, 'is this really necessary?'

'She wanted me to show her…' Rin said.

The blue dragon sighed, 'Well you have already shown her, don't call me unless it is necessary…' and the blue dragon disappeared into thin air.

Kakashi landed with a thump next to Rin, he was about to open his mouth to say something but Rin beat him to it.

'No, it's not a summoning, it's part of my… talent… I can … put my chakra into them and… they come to life… ' Rin turned her head and looked at Kakashi, '… it's hard to explain…'

'Wha…What was that?' Anko asked.

'You told me to show you what I got… and all it takes is for one jutsu like mine…' Rin said. But Anko just continued to stare into space.

'I'm going home…' Rin said and took off into the sky.

'Rin! Wait.' Kakashi said and took off into the sky with her.

'You seem to be having fun with this power…' Rin said, not looking at Kakashi.

'You are hiding quite a lot of things from us… am I right?' Kakashi said.

'I'm still finding out who I am until now… I don't even know what I can do best yet…' Rin said with a sad smile.

'Sorry…' Kakashi said.

'For what?' Rin asked as she landed on her apartment's balcony.

Kakashi was still floating up in the sky, 'I…'

'Nah… that's ok…' Rin said, '… you really are enjoying this aren't you…'

'Yeah…' Kakashi admitted shyly.

'If you're thinking of having it permanently…' Rin began.

'You can?' Kakashi asked.

'There is a one and only way to let you have half of what I have…. ' Rin said and looked away from Kakashi and started walking into her apartment.

'How?'

'Are you that desperate to know? You want to have this powers?' Rin asked, her face turned towards his in a questioning gaze.

'Ah… never mind…' Kakashi said nervously, hating himself for saying something so stupid.

'Nah, don't feel stupid, it's just a question after all…' Rin sighed and turned her back on him once again and started walking into her apartment.

'Good Night then.' Kakashi said to Rin's back as he jumped off her balcony.

Now it felt kinda lonely, now that Kakashi is gone. But heck, he's living right below her, she'll be fine.
