The woman who had "saved" the two of them was named Tsunade. She had explained to them all the horrible things Akatsuki had done and were attempting to do. While thoroughly shocked at the things they were hearing, the girls had always known on some level that the men and singular woman they resided with were criminals. Especially seeing as they were here to help kidnap someone.

The girls were conflicted by the things they were hearing, sure some of the guys at the base had been off and seemingly insane, but the others were kind and their friends... They weren't sure they wanted to believe the woman before them. Especially not the things they heard about Kisame and Hidan.

While confused, the girls knew the men would come for them. They knew they would be questioned. After hearing about their brutality, they were about frightened to see them, not knowing what to expect. Knowing that their cover was blown and that the mission was a bust didn't help sooth their thoughts.

Kamryn thought Tsunade seemed genuine. The older blonde seemed concerned for her companions that had been lost to her world as Olivia and herself had been lost to this one. The man who stood beside Tsunade had been quiet the whole time, except when he introduced himself as Kakashi. He looked quite bored to be honest. He was tall and lean and his hair… was odd to say the least, defying gravity it seemed. A pretty color though, a nice silver color. His face was covered up with only one onyx eye showing, staring out in boredom.

"I believe you ladies have been through enough today. I am very sorry about the way we had to get you here… We will be providing you both with an apartment to share for the duration of your stay. Please know that while you are welcome here, we will have to keep our eyes on you seeing as who your traveling partners were". Tsunade sighed and rubbed her temples, as if she were developing a headache.

"Kakashi here will be your guide and will also be one of the people keeping an eye on you".

Tsunade stood, the girls following her lead. They were walked out of a tower-like building with Tsunade ahead and Kakashi following up behind them. Kamryn glanced behind her at one point, noting the man was reading a bright orange book while he walked. She was trying to see what the cover read when he suddenly glanced up at her, his eyes crinkling at the corners and he smiled at her, or at least she thought he smiled. She quickly focused back in front of her, embarrassed to be caught being nosey.

Tsunade walked with the three for a bit, pointing out shops that might interest them and a few other spots. She gave them some money saying that it should be enough for some clothes and food before taking her exit.

The three of them stood there for a moment before Olivia's stomach growled, making both girls remember how long it had been since they last ate.

Kamryn smiled at the silver-haired man sheepishly, " So uh, what's good to eat around here?"

He chuckled at Olivia's mortified and embarrassed face before looking back to the blonde. His eyes crinkled once more, leaving Kamryn to believe that that was how you could tell if he was smiling or not.

"There is a really great ramen place not too far from here. It's actually across from your apartment too".

Olivia's stomach let out another growl at the mention of food being so close by. She grumbled, turning her tomato shaded face away indignantly as her best friend and guide both laughed.

Along the trip through the village Kamryn had made note of some shops she figured they would need to stop by were. As the trio walked to where the ramen shop was, she and Olivia were discussing and making mental lists of things they needed.

Kamryn had also caught herself glancing at Kakashi along the short journey. He was walking slightly ahead of them, and was reading that bright orange book again.

Once the made it to their destination, Kamryn realized it wasn't much of a shop or restaurant, but a stall. It had a homey look to it and the smells coming from it were enough to get her saliva glands working.

Olivia basically ran and jumped onto a stool, practically drooling herself. Kamryn quickly followed her friends lead, hopping onto a stool next to her. Kakashi chuckled at the two before calmly walking to take a seat on the other side of Kamryn.

Olivia ordered some spicy miso ramen while Kamryn some creamy tonkotsu.

The woman who worked there was apparently the daughter of the owner, and both seemed extremely nice. Olivia was talking amicably to Ayame, the daughter. Teuchi, who was the owner, was busy making the orders.

Kamryn looked over to see that Kakashi was once again reading from the same neon orange book.

"What is it about?"

Kakashi looked up from his book, glancing at her before doing his smiling eye crinkle thing.

"It's a romance".

She quirked a brow at him, "You read romances?"

"Don't judge a book by its cover". He chuckled at his own joke causing Kamryn to smile.

"I guess so, sorry. You must really like it, though, judging by the shape the book is in".

She had noticed that though the book was definitely well taken care of, it also was very clearly read often. She was getting lost in thought about her work and how she missed being surrounded by all the books when he responded, snapping her back to reality.

"Quite all right, and I do. It is definitely my favorite".

She opened her mouth to respond only to be distracted by a big bowl of noodles being set before her. It smelled heavenly. Glancing at her friend she noticed she was already digging in to her own bowl happily.

She grabbed some chopsticks and took a hearty bite, practically melting as the hot food hit her empty stomach.

She could hear their guide chuckle beside her and she glanced over at him, seeing him watching her.

"Is it good?"

She felt her face warm slightly and nodded, then she called over to Teuchi telling him thank you and that they were the best noodles she had ever had. The older man practically beamed at her and told her to enjoy.

Halfway through her meal she was full to burst and Olivia was looking a bit sleepy after thoroughly enjoying her meal. She asked Ayame for a bowl to go before turning to Kakashi.

"So, I figured we would need to pick up some stuff for the apartment before we actually call it a day, is that okay with you? I feel kind of bad since you are stuck babysitting..."

"Don't, it is my job after all. You two don't seem bad company either". There was that eye crinkle again. Kamryn was starting to find it cute and wished the silver-haired man would stop.

She cleared her throat, willing herself to not blush at her thoughts.

"Well, thank you... Let's get going I suppose, before it gets late. Olivia looks ready to pass out".

Kamryn chuckled as her friend's head popped off the counter at the mention of her name.

Once they paid for their food and thanked the kind duo behind the counter once more, they set off to grab just a few essentials until they had more time the next day.

Essentials to Kamryn, of course, included books. Which Olivia rolled her eyes at. Kakashi suggested she pick up a copy of the first edition of Icha Icha Paradise, and without giving it a look through, she put in in her basket.

Both the girls grabbed a pair of sleep clothes and clothes for the next day. They grabbed shampoo and body wash as well. Olivia grabbed ones with a tropical scent while Kamryn grabbed ones with a floral scent. Kamryn noted that the shop also carried a few ninja weapons, though was mostly just domestic items. She made a note to stop by later and get some Kunai.

Kakashi just waited at the entrance of the shop, his nose stuck in his book, though his eyes stayed trained on the girls through the glass windows. They seemed harmless, innocent. Nothing like he thought people who had been spending months with Akatsuki would be like. Not even really like any Konoha civilians, who had all been touched by war. He had been lost in thought when he heard the chirp of Kamryn's soft voice greet him, along with the ding of the bell on the door.

"Ready to go, Kakashi!" She chirped, a wide smile on her face, hands full of bags. Oliva had less bags, but still had quite few.

Kakashi's eye crinkled again, snapping his book closed, "Alright, ladies. Time to get you to your temporary home."

The two women followed the silver haired man a few blocks to the large apartment building. Luckily it was actually right across from Ichiraku's Ramen, they girls decided to wait until the next day to shop for actual food besides snacks.

Kakashi assisted the girls in unloading the stuff they had gotten and asked what time they wanted to head out for more stuff. After deciding on 9am Kakashi bid them farewell and poofed out of the two womens' apartment.

After the silver-haired man left, the women explored their apartment. It was a nice, spacious, two-bedroom and one-bath. They decided on who got what room and started putting up the few essentials they had purchased.

When they were done Kamryn had decided to curl up on the couch with the Icha Icha book she had purchase, wanting to be able to have something to discuss with their masked guide the next day.

Olivia had opted to taking a bubble bath. After quickly washing herself she ran a hot bath, watching the bubbles form on the surface while getting lost in thought.

She wondered if Hidan was worried about her. Her lips twitched up in a smile, she wished she could have seen his face when they woke up and realized they were gone.

She also wondered when the two men would come for them...

After her bath, Olivia was feeling hungry again.

When she walked into the living room to ask her friend if wanted to go for ramen, she saw that the blonde had her face in the same bright orange book that Kakashi had been reading all day.

"Kam? Let's go get some dinner".

Kamryn jumped slightly at the sound of her friend's voice, dropping the book onto her lap and revealing a very pink face and widened honey eyes.

Olivia stared at the blonde woman for a second before opening her mouth to speak.

"It's erotica, isn't it?"

Kamryn's blush deepened as she nodded slowly.

Olivia rolled her eyes," Well let's go eat, you can finish your porn later".

Her friend smiled sheepishly as she got up, going to get her shoes before heading out the door together.

Kamryn was not embarrassed to admit she had been enjoying the book Kakashi had recommended her. She had been sucked right into the plot of the story and once it had reached the... steamier parts, she couldn't help her brain from transforming the main hero and heroine into herself and a certain blue tinted man she was quickly missing more and more of.

She wanted to know where he was, missing his easygoing nature.

The two women walked out of their temporary home and down the steps, heading towards the ramen shop across from them.

From here they could see that three of the stools were already taken. Because of the curtain they could only see their bottom halves, but it's not like they would know who was sitting there anyways. The two strode over to the two empty stools, sitting down and giving a small wave to Teuchi and Ayame.

Ayame came over to take their orders, a small smile on her face.

"Surprise us, Ayame!" Olivia chimed, already grabbing a pair of chopsticks and breaking them apart. Olivia was paying no attention to the other patrons of the stall, but Kamryn looked over at the trio and gave a smile.

The three were looking at the two quizzically, but they all smiled and the girl in the group gave a small wave.

The blond boy was the first to speak up, other than talking amongst themselves. "Are you guys the two Tsunade rescued from the Akatsuki?"

Kamryn was taken aback by his question, had news of them spread that quickly? She tried not to flinch at the word 'rescue', resolving to just look at Olivia.

Olivia just eyed the boy, "Yeah, what of it?"

It was the boys turn to be taken aback by her rather cold response, he clearly wasn't used to people not liking him right off the bat.

"Ahh... nothing," He scratched the back of his head, and the pink haired girl punched his arm, also eyeing him.

"Naruto..."

The two women glanced at each other, this was Naruto? They were supposed to help kidnap this young boy?

"Sorry about Naruto," The older man in the small group apologized for the blond, "He can be quite brash sometimes."

That was when the food bowls were sat in front of the two women. Olivia's demeanor visibly changed at the sight of food.

"It's 'kay." Olivia chimed, grabbing her chopsticks once more before digging in to the steaming noodles.

Kamryn took a much less hurried approach, taking a whiff of the ramen, before breaking apart her chopsticks and taking a small bite.

The boy eyed the two in interest, before Olivia started to scarf down her noodles. His eyes went wide, and he let out a "wow."

The man with the trio cleared his throat and elbowed Naruto, trying to keep him from staring at the brunette. But he did notice a similarity in the way the girl ate and the way Naruto ate, which almost made him laugh. Luckily all he did was crack a smile.

After finishing her first humongous bite, Olivia let out a satisfied "aah", rubbing her belly. "What flavor is this Ayame, this is so good."

Ayame smiled from the back of the stall, letting out a small giggle, "It's something new, we try to mix things up every once in a while. It doesn't have a name yet though, glad you like it!"

Naruto eyed the bowl of ramen in front of the woman, he had just finished two bowls, but it did look good. "Hey Ayame, why not give your favorite customer some of that to try?"

Ayame laughed at the blond boy while her father chuckled as well, "Sure Naruto, coming right up!"

Naruto was practically drooling at the flavorful smell wafting from Olivia's bowl. Olivia, feeling his hungry stare, turned and glared at him, draping an arm around her bowl to guard it as if he was going to lunge for it at any moment.

The man, noticing this, laughed and rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, "Sorry, Naruto is harmless. I'm Iruka, by the way. That's Sakura on the other side of Naruto."

Olivia glanced at the man named Iruka quickly, before giving a silent nod and taking another bite of her food.

Kamryn rolled her eyes at Olivia's rudeness and introduced them to the trio. "It's nice to meet you all, I'm Kamryn and this is Olivia." She pointed a thumb at the woman who had returned to scarfing down her ramen.

"What unique names," Sakura chirped, clasping her hands together, "They're so pretty."

Kamryn smiled at Sakura, "Yours is very pretty too! Sakura, that's a flower, right?"

"Yeah, cherry blossom," She pointed to her hair. "My parents weren't too creative." She gave a small laugh.

"Your name is beautiful, Sakura, just like you!" Naruto blurted out, giving the girl a grin.

Sakura held up a fist at Naruto's attempt to flatter her, and he seemed to get the message, lowering his eyes and grin.

Iruka smiled at the exchange, Sakura seemed to get along with most everyone, and Naruto... well, he was a unique one to say the least.

Olivia finished up her ramen, and sighed, with a full belly. Kamryn was only about half-way done with hers.

Olivia finally, through relaxed eyes, looked over at the trio. She had only really glanced at Iruka, but her eyes scanned over Naruto's face, then Sakura's. Naruto seemed... spunky. Sakura seemed nice and she was very pretty.

Her eyes then went to the older man, who had a pleasant smile on his face. He was quite handsome, Olivia noted, though, appeared a little bit older than herself. The scar across his nose added a unique charm to him. She felt a blush creep across her cheeks the longer she looked at him, and had to pull her eyes away and became a bit more sheepish.

No one but Kamryn seemed to notice her change in demeanor, and the blonde woman held a small smirk on her face.

Naruto got his third bowl of ramen and was scarfing it down while Kamryn focused on exchanging pleasantries with Sakura, leaving Iruka for her timid friend.

Olivia looked down at her empty bowl, listening to Kamryn and Sakura's conversation quietly.

She was getting a little sleepy, resting her elbows on the counter and placing her chin in her hand, when Iruka spoke up.

"So, where are you two staying?" His voice was smooth and gentle, calming. Olivia picked up her eyes from the bowl and looked over at the man.

She pointed across the street to the tall apartment building, "Just over there." Her head lulled to the side sleepily as she looked over at the man.

Iruka's cheeks warmed as he took in her cute appearance. He cleared his throat, smiling at the sleepy woman, "Ah... is that so? Do you know how long you two will be here?"

Olivia sleepily shook her head no, letting her eyes slowly flutter closed, leaning a little onto Kamryn. "Kammy, I'm ready to go home."

Kamryn glanced at her friend and smiled, " Okay, Livvy. Let's get you home."

Kamryn bid the trio goodbye for the both of them, seeing as Olivia was basically sleep walking, she also apologized on Olivia's behalf to Iruka since she fell asleep during their conversation.

With a final wave the blonde helped her friend home and to bed, going to her own room for the night.
