Ok here's the next chapter! Also I wanted to say sorry if I don't get Kakashi's, Rin's, or Minato's personality correct. I'm doing the best I can. Also I do not own Naruto or Kakashi, Rin, and Minato. But I do own Amaya, Kio, Ky, and Fumio. ~Kat~
Amaya POV-
"Let's go." Kio said walking off with out us I sigh catching up with her.
"Kio let's wait up for the others." I said and we did Kio didn't like waiting and Minato could tell.
"Rin maybe you should go ahead with Kio." Minato said, "If you feel up to it." He said watching her carefully.
"Yes, sensei." Rin said and ran up to Kio before they took off. 'Thanks Kio, leave me with the guy who brings up my past.' I thought to myself as I fall back with Minato and Kakashi. All three of us walk quietly for a while before Minato speaks out.
"Amaya why don't you tell us how life in the Leaf is doing." Minato said and I clutch my fist again, wishing he hadn't brought up my family again.
"What do you mean?" I ask trying to avoid it topic.
"I mean how's your family and what have they been up too?" Minato said and I could feel his grin from behind me. 'Why was he so eager to but my family past out in the open? Did he look down on us?' I thought to myself wondering if the Fourth hates my family because they left during the war.
"I thought I told last night, their fine." I half way lie again not looking behind me, "And they've been on a mission for almost a week." I said which was half way true they were on a mission if you count fighting in the front lines as a mission.
"I see so who've been alone or has someone been taking care of you?" Minato ask, 'Why is he being so personal?'
"I'm living on my own at the monument." I said looking ahead at the Leaf's gates, happy to finally be home. Then I remember Kakashi's eye, "Kakashi don't forget to go to the hospital to get your eye checked on." I said pointing at my eye to remind him.
Kakashi gave a simple nod and I smile. All three of us walk through the gates and saw Rin waiting but no Kio. I frown she probably went ahead again. Rin ran up to us to meet us half way to her.
"Kio went ahead to the rest of your squad; she said you know the place." Rin said explaining, "I tried to get her to wait but she…" Rin started but I cut her off.
"It's ok, she's always going ahead." I said rubbing the back of my head, I felt bad that Rin felt at fault, "She doesn't like to listen, trust me I wouldn't have been able to make her stay." I smile at her and she smiles back.
"Alright then I'm going to go report in you two rests up and meet me at the training grounds tomorrow." Minato said walking towards the center of the Leaf.
"Yes sir." Rin and Kakashi said at the same time, and I waive good-bye.
"Right then." I say and began to walk off, "Kakashi don't forget the hospital." I shout back at them.
"Ok." I hear Kakashi yell back at me.
"Bye, Rin, Kakashi." I said walking down a street of the Leaf.
"Bye." Is the last thing I hear from both and I wonder what to do first I glance in a shop to see the time. 4:30the time read, 'Good I have 30 minutes before I meet up with the team for dinner.' I begin walking down the street again, 'I wonder what I should do?'
I decide to go to the hospital to clean and renew my kit. I walk to the huge building full of sick, injure, and dyeing people. I try to not stare at some of the injuries people have and hurry to the front desk.
"Oh, hi Miss Tanaka." The woman at the front desk smiles, "Back from an other mission? You're not hurt are you?" the old woman asks. She looks tried and her long gray/blond hair was a mess.
I smile to reassure her, "No just her to clean my tools, is there a room open?" I ask signing in filling out my name and reason for being here.
"Sorry all are rooms are full but there is a room to clean them but you'll have to ask the patient if it's ok." She says looking at some papers, "Try room 2502, it's on the second floor." She says leaning over her desk to point at the stairs.
"Right, thanks Miss Endo." I said walking towards the stairs and made my way up, 'I wonder if Kakashi is here, maybe I can stop by.' I was thinking and before I knew it I was standing in front of room 2502.
I knock first before entering the room and close the door, "Sorry if I'm bugging you I just need to…" I stop when I see Kakashi sitting on the bed reading. He's wearing a patient uniform and badges all over his body and he's usual mask on, "K-kakashi." I stutter shock that I was in Kakashi's hospital room.
"Amaya, what I surprise." Kakashi said putting down his book and looks up at me.
"Sorry to intrude, I just need to clean my tools." I said showing him my orange medical pouch.
"Oh I see, well go ahead." Kakashi said pointing at the sink that was on the wall in front of his bed.
"Thanks." I smile and head to the sink and carefully take out my tools and start the water, "This shouldn't take long." I said not wanting to bother him.
"Take your time." Kakashi said reading again and I plug the sink letting the warm water rise and pour some soap in.
Once the water was high enough I turn the knob to shut off the water and carefully place the tools in the water, "What did they say about the eye?" I ask tired of the silence between us.
"I just need to rest and it will be fine, I should get out in an hour or so." Kakashi said putting his book on the night stand.
I turn around to face him, "Did you finish the book?" I ask walking over and pick it up.
"Ya I read it about four times." Kakashi said watching me read the back of the book.
"Wow your a fast reader." I said finishing the back but found myself wondering how it ends, "It times me a couple of days to finish a 400 page book."
"You like to read?" Kakashi said sounding almost surprise and I place the book down.
"Ya but I haven't been able to find I good book, I'm reading a series now but the next one doesn't come out until next year." I said happy we have something in common.
"Why not try these." Kakashi said picking up the book and point to the cover.
I blush at the thought of reading an adult book, "Um…" I start trying to come up with an excuse, "I don't have enough money to buy anything at the moment." I said when I really want to read it.
"You can borrow mine." Kakashi said handing me the book, "Just don't bend the pages."
I take the book slowly, "I wouldn't dream of it." I smile, "Thanks I'll return it when I finish." I said and place the book far away from the sink.
I take the tools out and unplug the sink to let it drain and on the other side of the sink I wash the soap off with cold water. I lay them on a towel by the window I had laid out earlier.
I glance at the clock on the wall above Kakashi's bed, 4:49. 'Good I still got time.' I smile look back to Kakashi who looks tried all of a sudden, "Are you alright?" I ask worry and walk next to his bed side.
"Ya just tried." Kakashi says and there was a knock on the door, I turn around and see Rin walk in.
"Hello Rin." Kakashi says quietly and I make my way back to the window a little embarrass that I was by Kakashi's bed side when Rin walked in.
"H-hey Amaya, Kakashi." Rin says sounding a little embarrasses too, "What are you doing here Amaya?" Rin asks walking over to Kakashi's bed side.
"Cleaning my tools." I said moving out-of-the-way so she could see my tools.
"Oh." Rin said sounding a bit relief and a realize, 'I think she likes Kakashi.' I told myself not to jump to conclusions but felt a pain of jealousy for some reason.
My tools were dry and I took this as a chance to leave, I place my tools back into the pouch and zip it up. I walk back to the sink and pick up the book Kakashi let me borrow.
"Well I should get going." I said walking to the door.
"So soon?" Rin said she had pulled a chair next to Kakashi and she too looked tried, but I different type of tried.
"Ya I have to meet up with my squad." I said opening the door and walk out.
"Bye." Kakashi and Rin say and I wave to them before shutting the door. I turn around and run into someone; I fall flat on my butt and look up.
"Sorry." I say quickly and pick up my book and medical pouch.
"It's fine Amaya." I recognize the voice, Minato.
I pick myself up and look up at the Fourth who was smiling like a fool again, there was someone behind him. I women with long, really red hair, and I think she's a ninja too.
She hit's Minato in the back of the head, "Can't you watch where you're going! You're a ninja." She yells and I get a nervous feeling in my stomach, 'Note to self don't mess with her.'
"No it's my fault; I should have looked where I was going." I said defending Minato so he wouldn't get hit again.
"Oh ya by the way who are you?" The female ninja ask all of a sudden not angry anymore back to begin sweet.
"My name is Amaya Tanaka." I said looking up at her then back to Minato.
"A Tanaka I see." She says and I wait for the insults to come, I look to the floor, "My name is Kushina Uzmaki." Kushina says holding out her hand and waits for me to shake it.
I shake her hand happy she didn't say anything about my family, "Nice to meet you." I smile, "Miss Uzmaki."
"Just call me Kushina." The red-head ninja says before pushing Minato into the room, "Bye." She says and vanishes into the room with Minato.
I make my way out of the hospital and down the street to the ramen shop where my squad was waiting. Fumio-sensei are captain, he is a tall man with brownish-red hair that he ties back into a pony-tail and dark brown eyes. Fumio wears a normal jounin outfit, wears a black bracelet around his left wrist and his ninja pouch is on his right upper arm and his Leaf headband around his neck. Fumio is a part of the Inuzuka family so he had red makings on his cheeks and because he is apart of the Inuzuka family he of course has a ninja hound.
Shinju, is Fumio-sensei's female ninja hound. She is an all white and looks much like a Lab and wolf mix, her name meaning pearl is mostly because of her fur and Shinju has brown eyes like most dogs. Her tail is long and looks big because of her long fur, has powerful legs and huge claws and wears a black bracelet around her left paw like Fumio's. Her jaw is small but can break rocks if she wanted to. Shinju is not a huge dog, more of a short and narrow dog and only comes up to my legs.
Ky is the only other boy in are squad, he's has short brown hair but not extremely short and not as long as Fumio's somewhere between. Ky is a shy kid but really smart in battle but when around friends he's baby blue eyes give away very thing, which is why I and Fumio know he likes Kio, but because Kio can't tell she has no clue. Ky is tall like are sensei but not as tall as Fumio I think he's 5"8 and Fumio is 6" of course they seem tall through because I'm the shortest one in the squad. Ky wears a brown T-shirt and white four-arm guards on each arm with a pair of tan shorts that go just below he's knees and he's ninja pouch is on his right upper arm too and his Leaf headband is on his forehead.
Kio, another ninja from team Fumio, is from the Suzuki clan. Her clan symbol, a wolf head with a plain circle around it, tattooed above her back. It is visible due to the yellow bandeau she only wears as a top and because her thick light brown hair is often pulled into a hair tie. She keeps her bangs cut across her face so she can see, as well as show-off her small nose piercing which she had to fight her mother for. She wears black pants and keeps her ninja pouch tied like a belt on her back. A retractable, 6 foot metal staff is also kept there, it is her favorite weapon. It is only used when she fights or disciplines; she does that often because she always seems to stick up for me, despite her being a year younger. Also, she hates shoes. We need to force her to keep them on, but let her take them off when she fights for it makes her faster. Her constant need to battle is clear in her dark brown eyes.
Then lastly there's me, Amaya Tanaka of the Tanaka family. I have long, thick, brown hair like Kio but mine is darker and shorter only coming a bit below the shoulders. My hair is extremely layered so it's noticeable; my hair frames my face ending just below the chin which shows my amber eyes. I don't wear make up even though in opinion my need too I just forget and it takes to long to put on. I don't do anything with my hair in less I go to a formal party or Kio does something to it. I wear a long sleeve, blue shirt; the shirt being dark blue but a lighter blue for the sleeves. My pants are navy blue like the sandals I wear and I keep my ninja pouch on my left upper arm with my ninja headband in the same spot but on my right arm. Like I said I'm the shortest in the squad not counting Shinju, Fumio is 6", Ky is 5"8, Kio is 5"6, and I'm 5"2.
"Hurry up!" Kio yells waving her hand in the air I smile and run over to them, "Let's go!" Kio says walking ahead of us like always into the ramen shop.
"Ya I'm hungry." Fumio said rubbing his belly before walking after Kio. I smile happy to finally be home I hear Ky's stomach growl.
I laugh before saying, "Let's go before they eat everything." I said walking with Ky after are team mates with Shinju following behind us all.
