Jonin Station
"What in the hell is going on?!" Yelled Asuma.
The sound of barks, hisses and growls bounced off the hallway walls as Pakkun and the cat stormed through the Jonin Station. Jonin opened their doors while poking their heads out to see what all the commotion was. The cat raced down the hallway with her fur standing on end, while Pakkun was close to her back end nipping and snapping at her tail. Pakkun was barking and yelping uncontrollably. His jowls flopped, while saliva dripped from his mouth. Trying her best to outsmart the dog, the cat turns tightly running back towards the stairs. Pakkun mimicked the cat, and also ran back down the hallway towards the stairs. Their claws scratched against the hardwood floors as they attempt to gain traction to turn themselves around. Running back to the stairs, they run directly into Kakashi and the Kunoichi.
Leaping forward, the cat and Pakkun ran across the back of the Kunoichi in attempts to race up to the second floor. Several of the Jonin wince as they watch their co-works get tramped by two small, yet violent, animals. An uncomfortable grown came out of the Kunoichi. They may have been small animals, but their claws weren't small. Even though the ninja vest was thick, their claws were able to pierce the vet, and leave a few small pin prick marks. Wonderful.
The Jonin watching the spectacle step out of their rooms to view the scene in detail: the Copy Ninja and a Kunoichi. How cute, and perfect ammunition to tease Kakashi with later. As the group congregated in front of the stairs, one of the Jonin couldn't stifle his amusement and decided it was a good idea to snicker at Kakashi's predicament. Always considered calm and collected, seeing Kakashi in this state was comical. "Wow, Kakashi, how are you able to make every woman fall all over you?"
Great. Here come the puns, Kakashi thought. The teasing has just started, and will probably continue for a long time.
The small group of Jonin began to laugh. "You're gonna have to teach me that one, Kakashi!" Joked another Jonin.
Before anymore jokes could be flung at Kakashi, Asuma pushed through the group to see what was going on. The scene in front of Asuma couldn't be any more perfect. A wide grin stretched across his face as he views Kakashi's, 'problem.' Yes, he wasn't going to let this one go. Asuma snickered as he jabbed Kakashi with his own creative comment: "Man, Kakashi, what kind of show are you putting on?"
The group cracked with laughter, as Kakashi glared at Asuma."I'm happy that I could entertain you, Asuma. Maybe by watching me, you can gather the courage and talk to Kurenai," jabbed Kakashi.
That made Asuma blush.
Viewing their audience through frustrated eyes, Kakashi could see why his position was comical. He was in an uncomfortable position at the bottom of the stairs with a woman straddling his abdomen. What a wonderful first encounter. Kakashi winced silently. The weight of the Kunoichi was digging his shoulder blades into the bottom stair. She wasn't big, but her weight, plus the armored vest wasn't exactly light as a feather. She was straddling his abdomen while her head rested on his shoulder. Kakashi still had a firm grip on the Kunoichi's hand, that was smooshed in between their chests, while his other arm was secured around her torso. Kakashi held her this way to make sure she landed on something soft, instead of wooden stairs. She's probably capable of falling down stairs and not getting hurt, considering she's a trained ninja, but with the stairwell being narrow, they would have gotten tangled up even worse then they are now.
Before their accident, Kakashi chased after Pakkun and the cat. Rounding the corner he noticed the Kunoichi carrying luggage. He was going to evade and run past her, but once animals ran under her feet and made her lose her footing, he couldn't let her fall. Being a gentleman, and the extensive training over his life kicking in, Kakashi instinctively grabbed the Kunoichi. Sadly, the weight of the luggage, the Kunoichi and himself forced them to tumble down the stairs.
Now they lay in a pile at the bottom of the stairs. He felt pressure on his abdomen, a grumble, and a few wisps of hair brush across his face. Lifting his head up, he watched the Kunoichi pick herself up off his body. She pulled her hand away from his, and put it on the stair by his head. She did the same with her other hand, and pushed herself up. Looking directly at her with his one eye, he couldn't help but compare the Kunoichi to Rin. The Kunoichi had short brown hair, and she also wore her headband similar to Rin, or like any other Jonin: across her forehead. She didn't wear make up, like Rin, but she had a straight scar across her cheekbone. It was faint, but still noticeable.
Looking down at Kakashi, the Kunoichi suddenly realized what had happened. A few of the Jonin started to snicker which pulled the Kunoichi's attention away from Kakashi. Fully realizing that there was an audience watching them, the Kunoichi couldn't help be feel embarrassed. Fully sitting up on Kakashi abdomen, and simultaneously crushing his organs, she apologize profusely: "I am so sorry! Are you okay? Here, let me he-,"
However, before the Kunoichi could finish her apology, the sounds of Pakkun and the cat came tumbling down the stairwell. There was an uneasy feeling felt between Kakashi and the Kunoichi. The cat and Pakkun leaped from the top stair, and land directly on the Kunoichi's back. Once on her, the cat uses her back as a trampoline, and sprung off, and skittered down the hallway. Pakkun followed suit and uses the Kunoichi as a launchpad. Both animals propell down the hallway, under the feet of the Jonin, and out the door. A high pitch shrill, along with a thud concludes that Pakkun and the cat have taken yet another victim to their backside.
The force of both animals slam the Kunoichi back down on Kakashi. It was so unexpected that their guarded foreheads collide with a loud crack, and threw their heads back with a whiplash motion.
"Ow, that didn't look good. You guys okay?" Finally, there was some genuine concern coming from Asuma.
They two were silent, until the Kunoichi picks herself up, yet again. The sound of a fist pops as low growl grew in the back of the Kunoichi's throat. Using the bottom stair as a launch pad, the Kunoichi pushes her feet against the stair. Using her muscular legs to launched herself down the hallway she roared out a name: "Sumi!"
Before any of the Jonin could move out of her way she breaks through the group. A few land on their butts as she rips through the hallway, and out of the Jonin Station. As the Kunoichi sprinted after the animals, the force of her pushing against the stairs makes the luggage roll down towards Kakashi. Without hesitation, Kakashi swiftly grabs both luggage bags and sets them down, all the while picking himself off of the stair and in a crouching position. His eye looked more than irritated. That dog has gotten way out of hand. This behavior is absolutely unacceptable, especially for a trained ninja dog. Using the same method as the Kunoichi, Kakashi torpedoes past the Jonin, down the hallway and out of the front door.
Outside
With out of control speeds, Pakkun and the cat bulldoze through the village. Vending carts, tables, legs and feet were not safe. The animals zip through restaurants and over tables, knocking over plates of food, drinks, and infuriating and startling customers. An owner ran out with his broom and began chasing the two out of his building. Luckily, the two animals successfully evaded the attack and ran onto their next victim. They crashed into children, destroyed fruit stands as they leaped over them, ran under the feet of women wearing yukatas, and ruined board games. The cat was intentionally trying to detour Pakkun, causing him to do much of the destruction. This was to trap him in an angry mob of humans, or scare him, but he was too evasive and continued to chase after her.
Following the sounds of destruction, the Kunoichi fell upon the aftermath of the animals. Yes, this is getting way to out of hand. Running down the street, she too leaped over tables and board games, but with more grace, and mindful of the situation. Even though it wasn't convenient for everyone else, the destructive path the two animals were leaving was a convenient trail to follow. 100 meters in front of the Kunoichi were the animals, but they quickly turned a corner. Her heart leaped into her throat. They were running directly into the shopping district.
Not to far behind the Kunoichi, Kakashi races past the Red Lantern. A small cloud of dust trails behind him as he follows the destructive trail his ninja dog had left him. Standing at the corner where the Red Lantern was stationed was Konoha's Beast, Might Guy. Guy had already witnessed Pakkun and the cat run past the bar. Turning his head, Guy notices Kakashi running in the same direction. He must be after the animals. As Kakashi sprints past Guy, a twinkle sparks in Guys eye, along with a contagious grin. Guy had a plan. Clenching his fist in determination, Guy thrusts his fist into the air, and announcing his proclamation of youth: "What a fantastic idea, Kakashi! I would expected this from my lifelong rival! I will catch those adorable animals before Kakashi could lay a single finger on them!"
With that announcement, and the power of youth to drive him forward, Might Guy chases after the two animals.
