Sorry about the delay long vacation with no wifi, video games and going from 12 hours of work to 38 hours of with lots of physical labor is quite exhausting.

1996cas: Thanks for the words of encouragement and sorry for the wait.

Samasara: Don't worry the relationship starts platonic

FlammableBear: sorry about that hope this chapter makes up for it

AnimeA55Kickier: There is no Kaguya, no Zetsu, Obito is dead, no akatsuki so there won't be any of the ending stuff. Sorry if that is a disappointment but this is more romance focused with almost no action.

Kaede was worried, a group of ninja had just showed up at her door. She wasn't worried about them being ninjas, no rather she didn't have any girls to entertain them entertain them at the moment. Without any girls they would either get rowdy or leave and true to her thoughts she could hear some of the members start to voice to their displeasure at the lack of service. Speed walking because you cannot run in the clothes she was wearing she entered the resting room, seeing no one was she sighed there was Naruto but it sent chills down her spine sending one girl to deal with a group much less her first time.

When she returned to the main room she thanked the Sage that five girls had come to deal with the group. Walking up to the now placated men she spoke. "Greetings gentlemen my name is Kaede. Is everything to your satisfaction?" Bowing slightly she watched the group's expressions.

A large man with chin strap style beard pulled the out the cigarette, Asuma Sarutobi if she remembered properly. Wasn't he seeing someone? It didn't matter to her. "Everything is fine ma'am however if you could find someone for this socially retarded man that would be much appreciated." It appears he was was speaking about Kakashi Hatake one of the Leaf's finest ninjas.

Once again bowing this time as a apologetic bow she spoke "Apologies Hatake-san I have no one to service you."

The man in question, a tall lanky man 24 years of age, his single eye formed the shape of an upside down U "It is fine Kaede-san. I am not looking for someone to spend the night with."

A course of boos and some curse came from the rest of the party made very clear their opinion on that statement. One of the men another jounin based on the uniform he wore and a bandana spoke "Even if you're not interested if sleeping with anyone you should at least spend some with the other gender. I don't I have seen with any women other than those on missions. Please ignore him miss even if you have a girl who is willing to discuss paint drying with him we would being willing to pay." Genma Shiranui spoke, he was known for sleeping around the red light district rumors said he was able to talk the panties right off the girls then make sure they couldn't walk for week.

As the group poked fun at the masked jounin he pulled out his Icha Icha and proceeded to ignore their jests. Kaede gaze caught the oldest member of the group he made a slight nod towards Kakashi and she understood that the group would wanted someone for Kakashi. The only one who could was Naruto it was three years early but it seems she had no choice. At least Kakashi didn't appear to be interested in seeing women.

"Very well I have someone for Kakashi however she can only converse, she cannot entertain you through the night." Kaede told the jounin.

Kakashi frowned behind his mask however, you couldn't tell if you were looking at him. He knew the group wouldn't allow him to leave unless he had talked to someone who was female. As long as she wasn't annoying or trying to seduce him. He could also just sneak out after they were all intoxicated. "Very well, I would would like her to hold conversation and serve tea." He ignored the whoops coming from his comrades as showing signs of irritation would only feed the flames.

Kaede frowned internally, this was exactly the situation she wished to avoid however, they couldn't afford to lose this many customers and take a hit to their reputation. At least Naruto would get her wish of helping the establishment and Kakashi didn't wish for a bed partner. "Her name is Ruka she is doing some maintenance and she won't be ready for a bit would you mind waiting Hatake-san?"

Kakashi shook his head in relief at least he would get some time to mentally prepare himself it had been awhile since he made conversation with a woman much less a civilian one. "No that's fine Ma'am."

Nodding towards the group Kaede headed towards her study, entering the room she could see Naruto attempting to make some tea, Naruto was still working on perfecting it last time Naruto had Kaede try some she was sick for two days. Kaede sighed she was still so innocent and Kaede was sending her to meet one of Konoha's strongest ninja, it was like a bird being trapped in a cage with a cat. Upon hearing the door open Naruto turned her head towards Kaede. "Hi old hag what are you doing up here? Is there a lull in the house right now?"

Ignoring the old hag comment was getting harder everyday however even those words couldn't lift her spirits. "No if fact it's the opposite we don't have enough. We need you to entertain Hatake Kakashi, he is a jounin he doesn't wish for anyone to sleep with merely conversation. I know I said we would wait until you're fourteen however we have no choice." Wrapping her arms around the small girl she whispered "I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry." Naruto knew Kaede meant it, she subconsciously relaxed. While Naruto had said that she wanted to help being faced with it was a totally different thing. Kaede helped Naruto get ready, once the henge was made, the clothing put on and the mask tightly secured she left the study to grab the tea leaves and tea set. Kaede directed to the first floor passing a group of ninja whisper and point to her. She tensed at their attention, she still wasn't fully over the attack. Walking further Kaede motioned to the booth meaning that was where her first customer was, where she started walking the long winding to becoming the best hostess ever. She took some deep breaths there was no way Hatake would attack, this wasn't like before no one knows who she is here, she isn't Naruto the container she is Ruka one of the many victims of the Kyuubi attack. She opened the drapes covering the booth and was underwhelmed to say the least. He was just as covered as she was, he looked old with his silver hair and in his hand was the newest Icha Icha. Now don't get Ruka wrong the Icha Icha books didn't actually bother her, she had learned about them from some of the girls some of it was doable other parts weren't possible. She had tried reading it but when Kaede had found her she would take it away muttering about ruining a child's innocence, the irony. She still found ways to read it and was currently finished with the series. But the fact that the man was ignoring her, the real deal for a book really pissed her off. When Kaede left she attempted to make conversation with the man.

"Hello my name is Ruka what's yours?" They both knew the answer to that however it was still considered polite to ask. His response was merely flipping the page. A tick mark appeared on her head but it wasn't visible underneath the clothes. Naruto took a deep breath, she could do this, she could prove to Kaede that she could earn her keep. This was her first customer and she would be damned if she messed it up.

Thirty minutes! THIRTY, that was how long she had attempted to make conversation with the man but had received no response. She had tried weather, colors, flowers, foods, weapons, poisons ANYTHING she didn't even know jack about the last two. But still that man kept reading his book, now Naruto may have taken many years of edictie classes however she was still an Uzumaki and having someone who not only paid for her company but was squandering it made those classes fly out the window, she did have her mother's temper after all however she had to control. 'Breath, just breath' Naruto told herself 'I can't mess this up let's try one more time!' "Excuse me sir how was the festival today."

"Meh" 'MEH FUCKIN' MEH?' Needless to say that response was what opened Pandora's box of Naruto's anger. 'Does he know how important this is to me? How hard I am trying? NO BECAUSE HIS HEAD IS FAR IS FUCKING ASS THAT' suffice to say that the rest of that thought process consisted of every expletive in every order she could.

In a moment of pure rage she picked up her cup of water which was cold by now and threw it at the man. Seeing his wide eyes, well wide eye open brought her great satisfaction seeing the water stain the pages of the book that she had been ignored in favor of made her giddy. 'Take that asshole' instead of saying she just looked him his the eyes and said "Bastard" with that she marched out of the booth and to her room in the third floor.

She entered her room the faint fragrance of lavender hit her nose and suddenly she exhausted. Her sleep schedule was not meant for late nights nor was her body prepared for the lack of sleep. Naruto faded into the land of dreams before her head even reached the pillow.

The next day when Naruto awoke and the memories of what happened last night flooded into her mind. Groaning into her pillow she was mortified by her actions, she threw water on a customer on top of that she called him a bastard. 'Mother is going to kill me' figuring she might as well get it over now rather than later she started walking into the kitchen where she could smell the savory scent of bacon wafting through the hallway. Opening the door she plopped onto her chair and let her head rest on the table.

"How was it? What happened? He didn't hurt you?" Kaede started pelting Naruto with a barrage of questions. Naruto blushed and whispered an answer Kaede couldn't hear. "One more time dear I couldn't hear you."

"I threw water at him and called him a bastard." It was barely audible Kaede's eyes widened of all the things she did that was the worst option. This could ruin their reputation. Kaede wanted to yell at Naruto all of her hard work could would be gone. Seeing the look in Naruto's eyes her anger dissipated Naruto knew she messed up. "He wasn't paying attention to me, he kept reading his stupid book. Why pay for my time if you're just gonna waste it." Kaede knew that Naruto wasn't completely to blame. Despite how mature she was for her age she was still just eleven, she would still have her moments of immaturity. As tears started falling down Naruto's face Kaede leaned down till she was eye level with Naruto wiping away the tears with the edge of her sleeve.

"It wasn't your fault dear this is why I wanted you to wait you're still too young. You don't have the best self control yet. Don't worry next time I'll make sure you won't have to be around a bastard." At that statement Naruto started to giggle which soon turned into laughter, the laughter was contagious with Kaede joining in. After they both calmed down breakfast was ready and they went on living as usually.

He didn't know why he came back to this brothel, it had been two weeks since he had meet Ruka but he couldn't get those blue eyes out of his dreams. While many women had been offended by his choice in literature, most prostitutes would have been honored to have someone of his stature in their presence but she seemed to be the opposite not caring about who he was and even had the gall to throw water on him and call him a bastard. Most girls in her place would have been trying to get into his pants but she hadn't made any moves on him. She had even asked him about his favorite colors, who cares about favorite colors what is she eleven? God he hoped not. But standing there on a roof outside the brothel with a cool wind flowing through his silver locks he couldn't get her out of his mind. He decided to visit her again then he would finally be able to get her off his mind.

Leaping down from the roof and landing on the ground all without making a sound he walked towards the door. Entering the brothel, eyes adjusting to the dim light reached the wooden counter. A pleasant smile crossed her face "How can I help you tonight sir?" Her eyes weren't the same shade of blue too light, her voice was too high a pitch as well.

"I'd like to talk to Ruka if she is here." He knew that the girls did not work everyday but he had to try. The desk worker eyes opened surprise flicking across her face not something Kakashi expected.

"Ruka isn't one of our girls. Would you be interested in someone else?" What? He was sure it was Ruka who he had met last time. Seeing the confusion on his face despite most of it being covered she continued. "I'll get mother perhaps she can clear up any confusion." Kakashi nodded in affirmation.

A few minutes later a woman walked into the front, Kakashi remembers her initially meeting the group he was with the first time coming here, Kaede was her name. "Hatake-san what seems to be the problem?"

"Yes I was wondering if I could meet with Ruka again." Once again he got a similar reaction the widening of the eyes along with surprise but quickly became steely.

"Would you mind coming with me we can about this in private." Kakashi merely nodded and followed. Entering a room with a plain table and two chairs and a bed in back probably meant for higher class meetings. Kaede sat and motioned for him to as well once he had taken a seat started speaking. "I am surprised you wished to speak to her again considering the outcome of your first meeting." There was some question unspoken 'You aren't here for revenge are you?'

Kakashi sighed internally this was getting too troublesome if he wasn't so interested in this person who didn't care about his status he would have already left. "No I don't wish to harm her I am just interested meeting her, a prostitute talking to a jounin like that I." Kakashi started fumbling with the proper words. It appears that Kaede recognized this and stepped in.

"She is quite the firecracker. While Ruka lives here she does not entertain men right now she is currently training under myself." Kakashi was impressed taking an apprentice was rare these days it usually meant that they were going to try and have the apprentice become a concubine to royalty, requiring a variety of skills.

"I am not asking her to lay with me, I'm not looking for a bedmate I merely wish to convey my apologies for my earlier behavior and have a proper meeting." Kakashi could see the wheels turning in her head debating the pros and cons, finally she spoke.

"Very well if it is merely conversation I will see if she wants to however if she says no I will not force her. She isn't prepared for anyone so she will have to get ready. Expect her or me to be here within the next five minutes." While the five minutes were passing Kakashi thought about how Ruka would react to him presence. Eventually he heard the sound of footsteps, something shinobi had long learned to muffle. The door creaked and Ruka walked in still as covered ever, closing the door behind her she walked to the table sitting down she looked him in the eyes her words stunned him.

"Hello bastard."

And that moment Kakashi and Naruto's relationship started.

It's not Naruto if someone isn't being called a bastard. This is based off of BlueIceQueen's destiny game as always review and stuff
