The sound of someone knocking woke Olivia from her slumber.
Half asleep and groggy, she got up, almost stumbling over the blankets she tossed on the floor at some point in the night. She made it past her room and to the front door and checked the peep hole before opening the door to their silver-haired babysitter. His eye was crinkled and he gave a small wave.
"Good morning! Sorry I'm a little late, an old woman needed my help carrying groceries."
Olivia just squinted at him and walked away, leaving the door open for him and going to the kitchen.
The silver haired man's smile fell when she ignored his lame excuse, but he entered the apartment after her, following her into the kitchen.
Olivia was filling a glass for water when her sleepy eyes looked over at the clock. It felt early, but the clock read eleven o'clock. She narrowed her eyes at the clock, before her eyes went to Kakashi.
"Don't you think you're more than just a little late?" She took a sip of her water, after turning off the tap.
He scratched the back of his head, his eye crinkling again. "Well, it doesn't seem like you or Kamryn really minded all that much, seeing as how you both got some extra sleep."
Olivia pulled her eyes away, fixing them on the wall. "Whatever." She set her glass down, half-empty and silently made her way to the other bedroom in the apartment.
Without even knocking, she opened the door, peering in at the sleeping blonde.
"Kammy." She spoke, making her way into the room. "It's late, Kakashi is here, we need to get going."
Kamryn groaned, "Huh? Wha-" She rubbed her eyes and ran a hand through her tangled hair, snagging a few knots.
"Uppity, Kammy." Olivia walked over to the bed, pulling back the covers.
Kamryn shivered, most of her body being exposed to the cold air, only protected by a tank top and shorts. "Nooo." She groaned out, pulling the covers back over herself.
Olivia frowned, normally Kamryn had no problem getting up early. She must have stayed up late reading her porn book...
"Kakashi!" Olivia yelled, causing the blonde to pull her pillow on top of her head to block out her friend's loud voice.
Kakashi quickly made his way to the room, peeping his head around the doorframe. "Yes?"
"Why did you suggest your porn to Kamryn? Now she won't get up. You get her up, it's your fault anyway..." She tapped her foot on the carpeted floor briefly, before exiting the room.
Kakashi had come to stand in the doorway, and Olivia pushed past him, a disgruntled look on her face.
Kakashi sighed, closing his eye. These girls were a handful already.
The other girl was completely covered in her bed, and he only hoped that she had decent clothes on under there. Though he wouldn't be entirely opposed to catching a glimpse of the young blonde woman.
"Kamryn...?" Kakashi stepped closer to the bed, and pulled the pillow out of the woman's hands, revealing disheveled hair and a sleepy glare.
She pulled her covers up and over her head, trying to escape the light and the two people trying to ruin her morning.
Sighing once more, Kakashi grabbed one corner of the blanket, easily pulling it from the blonde and off the bed completely so she couldn't reach it.
She sucked in air through clenched teeth, one hand going to cover her exposed middle. Kakashi had to stop his eye from rolling over the woman's body. Her clothes left little to the imagination. Her tank top was pushed up over her lightly toned abs and her shorts had rode up during the night, exposing long legs and toned thighs.
While she was not a ninja, and was what he would consider less than a civilian, she was surprisingly fit. It was nice to say the least, and Kakashi appreciated the sight.
The woman shivered, goose bumps rising on her skin, and patted around her with her eyes still closed. Realizing her source of warmth was gone she sat up, glaring at the man through sleepy eyes.
"Time to get up sleeping beauty~", Kakashi chuckled. Her glare falling flat due to her disheveled appearance.
Defeated, Kamryn groaned and rolled out of bed. Standing up she stretched upwards, standing to her tip toes to get a full stretch, causing her breasts to push against her thin tank top. Kakashi decided now was a good time to look away.
She yawned, glancing at the small clock on the nightstand, her eyes shooting open in surprise. "What the hell?" She gave Kakashi a look, "Why didn't you come til now?"
He let out a chuckle, training his eyes on her face, "Well..." He launched into a lengthy excuse as to why he hadn't made it on time. Involving old ladies and the meaning of life.
She rolled her eyes at the man, "Whatever, let's just get a move on it." She ushered him out the door of her room.
She sighed as he shut the door behind him, and she flicked on the light, closing her eyes to the stinging sensation briefly.
She walked over to the closet where she had stored the few new clothes she had gotten. She pulled off her tank top and shorts, leaving her in only her underwear, before grabbing her bra, discarded from the night before, and pulling it on. She slipped the only clean shirt she had over that, a nice cream short sleeve, then pulled on the pair of black shorts over her bottom.
She rubbed her eyes, looking in the mirror on the closet door, her hair was a mess. She finger combed it before deciding it was good enough, for now, and heading to the bathroom.
She opened the door to her room, peeking into the living room at Olivia and Kakashi, who were chatting lightly.
Olivia leaned against the kitchen counter sipping her water, while Kakashi sat on the couch, his single eye crinkled at their conversation. Olivia had quickly changed from her sleeping clothes in to a cute pairing of navy blue shorts and a white long sleeve shirt. The other girl had already seemed to have combed her hair, as her bangs were no longer wild and the rest of her hair was no longer poking in all directions.
Kamryn silently made her way to the bathroom, quickly brushing her hair and washing her face. She didn't get a shower last night, and didn't really have the time to now, it'd have to wait.
She exited the bathroom, a smile on her face, despite being so late to the start of her day.
Olivia and Kakashi were still chatting in the living room, Olivia's light laugh catching her attention as she entered the room.
Olivia was giggling, and Kakashi's eye was crinkled and there was a slight lift to his mask, signifying an obvious grin. Olivia's eyes shot to Kamryn and she immediately stopped laughing, her face turning a little red.
"Oh, Kam!" Olivia pushed herself off of the counter to a full standing position.
Kakashi's smile didn't fade as he looked over to Kamryn as well. "Goodmorning, sleeping beauty." He teased, "Did you enjoy Icha Icha Paradise last night?"
Kamryn face turned a little red, she wasn't ashamed of reading erotica, but the look in his eye made her flush.
She pressed her lips together in a grim line before answering. "It was quite nice, actually." She crossed her arms over her chest, not really liking that Olivia and the man had been talking about her.
"That's good." He nodded to her, eye still crinkled, "I might be willing to let you borrow the rest of the series."
Kamryn made a 'oh' face, "There's more?" She couldn't deny getting a little excited. The book was very well written, after all.
Kakashi chuckled a little at her excitement. "So many more."
Olivia interrupted the two by clearing her throat, thinking the conversation of erotica was a little weird.
"Ready to head out?" She grabbed the now empty glass from the counter and placed it in the sink.
Kamryn turned her attention to Olivia, nodding curtly, before moving to the door and slipping her shoes on. Olivia followed suit.
The three of them made their way out of the apartment, the girls grabbing the bit of money they still had.
"Food." Olivia stated, rubbing her belly. "Should we go get ramen again?" She said excitedly, reminding Kakashi of Naruto.
"Maybe later," Kamryn shook her head at her friend. "First let's get stuff for the apartment."
Olivia's head fell, a pout forming on her face. She looked at Kakashi, hoping her cute features would get him to change Kamryn's mind.
He just chuckled, patting the younger woman on the head gently. "Maybe later."
Her pout turned into a full frown, and she crossed her arms over her chest. "Whatever," she grumbled out.
Kamryn and Kakashi ignored the frowning girl, "Where to first?" Kakashi asked, making Kamryn place a finger on her chin in thought.
"More clothes?" She pondered, thinking over the things they needed to get.
"Alright." He nodded, leading them to the nearest civilian clothing store.
Kakashi read his book, leaning against the wall of the store while looking up to check on the women every so often.
The two already had arms full of clothing and were chatting and laughing with each other as they perused the isles.
He once again found himself slightly stunned by how easy going and well, normal, the two were after how much time they spent with the Akatsuki. He also wondered what exactly they did while with them, and honestly how they survived.
Olivia looked up, catching Kakashi's eye and smiled at him brightly, now fully awake and quite chipper. He gave her a small wave and she went back to chatting and shopping with the blonde.
The two were charming he supposed, handfuls and they had odd tendencies and accents, but charming none the less.
The way the two spoke were similar but completely different at the same time. Kamryn had a nice slow drawl, while Olivia spoke quickly.
Olivia was bubbly and actually kind of childlike with her mood swings, though she definitely had a temper. In some ways she reminded Kakashi of Naruto.
Kamryn was the more mature of the two, though not by much. She seemed to love books and be rather easy going.
The two got along nicely with one another, and didn't seem to have much of a problem letting other people in. As Olivia was already comfortable enough to talk about her best friend with him, and Kamryn was just nice and open from the start.
His nose was stuck in his book when he heard a familiar voice.
"Kaka-Sensei!" A feminine voice chirped, bringing him out of his thoughts. His lone eye looked over the edge of his book to see one of his old students, Sakura.
"Sakura," He greeted, looking to the two other girls with her, Ino, which he expected, and Hinata, who seemed uncomfortable and out of place with the other two.
"What're you doing hanging out at a women's clothing store?" Ino eyed Kakashi, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Babysitting." He smiled, closing his book and slipping it into his pocket.
The three girls looked at him confused, "The girls from the Akatsuki, Lady Tsunade has picked me as their guard for now."
"Oh!" Sakura exclaimed, remembering them from the night before, "I met them, they're nice."
Kakashi just nodded, unsure of how Sakura met them, as he thought they went to bed for the night after he dropped them off.
"I was surprised to see them alone last night at Ichiraku's." She continued on while looking around the store. She mumbled something to herself, before waving a hand in the air at the girls. "Olivia, Kamryn!" Sakura caught their attention.
They both looked up from their shopping at the pinkette, Olivia giving a small wave while Kamryn just smiled at her.
"Oooh, they are pretty~", Ino smiled and waved at them from beside Sakura.
Kakashi spoke, bringing the three's attention back to him. "What are you three doing at a civilian clothing store?"
Hinata was fidgeting behind the two, who had big grins on their faces. Ino chirped up, "We decided to get Hinata here a new outfit, something a bit sexier."
Kakashi's face dropped, he could never see any of the three as sexy, but especially not the hyuuga girl.
Sakura laughed at her sensei's expression, Hinata just blushed harder.
Kakashi was relieved when he heard the sound of his two charges growing closer, his eyes darted to the women, who were now carrying bags instead of loose clothes.
"Are you two ready to go?" He ignored his former student and her friends.
The women both nodded happily. The older trio bid a quick farewell to the younger girls before heading out of the store.
As the three of them walked in silence, Kamryn easily carrying her three heavy bags, while Olivia struggled. Kamryn remembered seeing the Kunai in the shop the day before.
"Oh, Kakashi," She chirped, "Can we head by a store with some Kunai? I don't wanna get too rusty."
He perked up, why would she need those? He hesitated for a moment, should he let her get weapons?
He nodded to the woman slightly, still thinking it over though. "We can stop by one on the way to the next stop."
It wasn't too much walking til they came to a stop in front of a store with darkened windows, barely being able to see inside, but making out a few ninja tools.
Kamryn grinned before entering the store, Olivia nervously following, not too keen about being around all those sharp objects.
Once inside, the girls marveled at all the variety of weapons, kunai, shuriken, senbon, katanas, you name it, they had it.
Kamryn's eyes landed on a particularly pretty set of kunai, sitting on the counter of the store in a wooden box. The handles were wrapped in what looked to be a red satin material, and the metal was a lighter shade than she was used to. She loved them, until she looked at the price tag. Thye cost more than Tsunade had given them to begin with, and her jaw dropped.
She skirted away from this particular set of kunai before looking for some more affordable ones.
Olivia was perusing over everything, her fingers grazing over all the different metals. She came upon a set of senbon needles, they looked killer. She had to have them. She snatched them up off the shelf, bringing them excitedly to Kamryn.
"Look at these!" She exclaimed, shoving the case into her friend's face.
"They're needles." Kamryn said in a flat tone.
"Senbon," Olivia corrected, pointing to the text printed on the wrapping of the box.
"Does it matter?" Kamryn shook her head, "You don't know how to use them."
Olivia pouted, "So? I'll get Kakashi to show me how."
Kamryn rolled her eyes, but really, that wasn't a bad idea. She should ask Kakashi for training.
"Yeah, ok." She moved her eyes away from her friend, grabbing a set of plain kunai off the shelf.
Kamryn paid for their goods, they were quite costly, but they still had a good bit for food.
They exited the store, both chipper, surprising Kakashi.
"Find what you were looking for?" He raised his visible brow at the two, eyeing their purchases.
"Mhm!" Kamryn beamed, holding up the set of kunai, while Olivia held up her set of senbon.
"What do you two need those for?" He asked in a flat tone.
"We gotta stay in tip top shape," Olivia grinned.
Kamryn rolled her eyes, "training was just fun and we figured we'd continue it."
"Training?" Kakashi was curious, why in the world would the Akatuski have been training them?
"Yeah, we had to be able to defend ourselves." Kamryn shrugged, stuffing the box of kunai in to a bag.
He eyed them for a moment, before nodding. Not like they were actually dangerous, but he would need to let Lady Tsunade know about this particular purchase.
"Nooooow can we get food?", Olivia whined and huffed, adjusting the bags in her hands.
Kamryn smiled and nodded, "Yeah, we should get food for home now."
Kakashi took a few bags from each woman and signaled them to follow him, which they did so happily now with lighter loads.
Kakashi lead them to the nearest grocery store, this time going in with them and following them around. They grabbed some necessities for cooking before grabbing fish, pork, rice, veggies, milk, eggs, and some ice cream. Olivia snuck off from the three of them to grab something on her own, sneakily gabbing a few bottles of wine.
"That's a good brand." Someone spoke up startling Olivia, almost making her drop one of the bottles.
She slowly turned her head to look at the owner of the voice, barely recognizing him from the night before. A blush crept up to her cheeks, "Uhh." She started, slowly placing one of the five bottles back. "Never had it before, just looking..." She blushed darker as she put back another two bottles as he watched her curiously.
He just laughed, seeing how the young woman was struggling to carry bags, food, and the wine. "Need some help?" He offered, extending a hand to take one of the bottles from her.
"Eer, sure." She slowly handed over the lone bottle, and he took a few bags that were looped around that arm as well, surprising her.
"Are you here alone?" He questioned, not seeing her blonde companion around.
"Uh, no." She spoke quietly, softer than she had the night before to him, a blush still on her cheeks.
"Kamryn and Kakashi are getting other things."
He nodded, as they started to walk around the grocery store looking for the two.
"Livvy." Kamryn tapped her foot, at the end of the isle Olivia had just walked on to.
"What's that." She used her full hands to point to the bottle in Olivia's hand.
"Uhh," Olivia blushed again, she had hoped Kamryn wouldn't have noticed. "Wine." She said in a small voice.
Kamryn rolled her eyes, "Fine, whatever." This made Olivia perk up, not expecting her friend to let her get it.
Kakashi was close behind Kamryn. "Hey." He started talking bluntly, clearly frowning. "You can't just go off on your own like that."
Both of the girls raised a brow at him, and he explained. "I meant to say something about it last night, but you're not supposed to leave the apartment without me. I heard from Sakura that you two went and got ramen last night after I left."
"Whoops." Kamryn rolled her eyes, how stupid of her to forget that they were still under surveillance and not just being guided around the unfamiliar village.
Iruka's face showed sympathy for the two women, they seemed harmless, but he understood why they had to be watched.
Olivia nodded at Kakashi, understanding she had made a mistake and feeling a little ashamed of herself.
"Anyways..." Iruka broke the silence, "Didn't know you were the one watching them, Kakashi."
Kakashi nodded.
"I met them along with Sakura and Naruto last night at the ramen stand."
Kakashi let out an 'ah', understanding now how Olivia knew the man, and seemed friendly enough with him.
"Well, let's get going, my arms are getting tired." Kamryn adjusted everything in her grip. Why didn't they have shopping carts here?
Both Olivia and Kakashi nodded, Iruka following the trio to the checkout line and placing the new items down on the counter, while handing Olivia back her other bags.
"Thank you." She gave the man a shy smile, but let out an uncomfortable grunt at the weight of the bags, making Iruka chuckle a little. What seemed easy for him, was obviously hard for the short woman.
"Eer, how bout I help you carry things back to the apartment?" He took the bags back from Olivia, making her let out a sigh of relief.
"That'd be great!" Kamryn chirped from her stop at the front of the counter, getting ready to pay for their food.
Kakashi gave an approving nod to the younger male ninja.
"Thanks." Olivia looked up to the tanned man, tilting her head with a smile, a small blush still dusted across her cheeks.
Iruka stared at the woman a moment before smiling sheepishly at her, a light blush forming on his cheeks as well. He couldn't recall ever finding such a simple thank you so... cute.
Kamryn smiled at the sweet exchange before clearing her throat, "thanks for the help guys, we can cook dinner tonight as payment if you would like?"
Kakashi just shrugged, he figured he would have been around the girls at dinner anyways.
Iruka beamed, a bright smile on his face. "Sounds great! I'm tired of eating ramen alone."
"I could never get tired of ramen." Olivia laughed, wondering what the two would cook that night.
"Aww," Kamryn let out, looking over her shoulder at Iruka as she paid the cashier. "If you ever need someone to hang out with you can always come to our place. I love entertaining guests."
Iruka smiled at the offer. "Ah it's alright, I'm usually working during the day and too exhausted at night to do anything but get a bowl of ramen."
"Oh," Olivia helped grab up some of the grocery bags from the end of the counter. "What do you do?"
"I teach at the academy, it's exhausting but very fulfilling." He grabbed bags as well, and the four walked out of the store.
"That sounds fun." Olivia thought about all the things they would teach in this world.
"What sort of things do you teach?" Kamryn asked curiously as they walked.
"Pretty much everything. From writing, math, and history to basic ninja skills." He shrugged, thinking about his job.
"Cool, cool." Olivia said, before digging into one of the bags Iruka was holding. "So you could teach me how to use these?" She pulled out the box of senbon, a pleading smile on her face.
He laughed, "if I had the time. But currently I only have free time on the weekends I think Kakashi would be more suited to teaching you how to throw those, anyways. He's a very skilled ninja."
"Aww you're making me blush," Kakashi joked, waving a hand in front of his masked face.
"Well, my team is currently doing their own thing, and my only current duty is to guard you two, so I don't see why not." Kakashi looked as if he were thinking it over as he walked.
"Wonderful!" Kamryn would have clasped her hands together if they weren't full of heavy bags. "So, can we call you sensei?"
Kakashi almost choked at her tone, it was joking, but also a hint of something else. Being called sensei by a grown woman was something he might have had fantasies about, and this woman, who he had seen so much of, would drive him mad if she started calling him that. But he didn't have a real, non-perverse excuse, so he just smiled, "of course."
Olivia was brought back to the times Hidan had weirdly asked her to call him sensei during their training. Her thoughts turning impure. She shook her head, pushing the thoughts out, though her mind stayed on the other white-haired man. She didn't realize she would have missed him so much. Their arguments and fights, the kiss they shared… she frowned.
"Oh, you're staying across from Ichiraku's." Iruka noted as they walked to the apartment building across from the stall. "Cool, quick ramen runs."
His voice brought Olivia back to the real world. "Oh yeah." She grinned, just thinking about ramen made her happy.
Kamryn fumbled with the key in her pocket before unlocking the door, swinging it open none too gently.
The four made their way to the kitchen counters and placed down all the bags. The girls quickly got to work putting away all the food before sorting out which bags held which clothes.
Just as Olivia was grabbing her last bag, her stomach grumbled loudly, alerting everyone that it was well past lunch time. She blushed, as everyone gave her an amused smile.
"Uhhh," She quirky went to her room, placing the bags on her bed, feeling more than a little embarrassed.
"So, what's for lunch, other than ramen?" Kamryn asked the two me in their temporary home.
"Akimichi bbq?" Iruka suggested.
"Sounds good to me, just let me put this stuff up." She grabbed her bags and headed to her room as well.
Olivia poked her head out of her room as Kamryn walked into hers, before shyly making her way back to the living area.
"Food?" She asked, still blushing.
Iruka smiled at the woman's cute expression, "We're going to go to Akimichi bbq."
Olivia practically started drooling. Bbq sounded like heaven. It had been so long since she had had some, as they did not have anything like it where the Akatsuki were based.
"Sounds great!" She rubbed her belly hungrily, as Kamryn emerged from her room.
"Alright, ready?" Kamryn laughed at her friend, heading to the door, followed by the other three.
It was a short walk to the bbq shop, and the smells wafted out of the door, making Olivia's stomach growl again.
They made their way into the restaurant, waiting a short while before being seated by a chubby blonde woman.
She took their drink orders and left them with the menus to decide upon what they were going to eat.
"Mmm, this all looks good." Kamryn gazed down at the scrumptious pictures in the menu.
Olivia nodded along, her eyes gazing over all the foods.
"Know what I want!" She smiled out, finding a combo lunch that suited her.
"Same." Kamryn pointed to something on the menu, marking it out for herself for when the waitress came back.
It wasn't long until she did come back, four drinks in hand, placing them on the table, and pulling out a notepad to take their order.
"I want the three-meat combo with ribs, chicken, and sausage." Olivia licked her lips, snapping her menu closed.
"You want corn or potatoes with that?" The waitress asked, jotting down her order.
"Mmmm," Olivia placed a finger on her chin in thought, "Corn."
The waitress next turned to Kamryn for her order.
"I would like the bbq pulled pork sandwich with a side of potatoes, please.", Kamryn smiled up at the waitress politely as she handed her the menu she was given.
Iruka ordered some bbq chicken with corn while Kakashi got rib-eye steak and potatoes.
They all waited, sipping on their drinks and chatting lightly.
"So, Kakashi-sensei, how do you eat with that mask?" Kamryn pondered, eying the ninjas covered face, very obviously curious.
Iruka laughed, "I've known Kakashi for years and have never even seen his face, it's a mystery."
Kakashi just smiled, "Secret."
Kamryn pouted, but then narrowed her eyes at the man, taking it as a challenge. "We'll see about that." She took another sip of her drink, eyes leaving Kakashi.
Shortly after, the food arrived, Olivia's plate was piled high with meat and a single corn on the cob. The others had normal portions, but they all dug in.
Kamryn tried to keep an eye on Kakashi, but it was like she blinked, took a bite, and his food was gone.
"Wha?" She gasped, pointing to his empty plate and the mask that still sat on his face. "How!" She demanded, upset that she missed it.
He just smiled at her, letting out a chuckle.
"See, told you." Iruka laughed, taking another bite of her food.
Olivia just rolled her eyes, fixated on her food.
Kamryn held back a pout and focused on eating her food, still insanely curious as to what was under Kakashi's mask. She would find out, if it was the last thing she did. She was being a bit dramatic, she knew that, but the curiosity was killing her.
Once the group finish their food, the waitress dropped off the bill, a box for Olivia's left overs, and took their dishes. Olivia sat back with a satisfied smile on her face, patting her tummy lightly.
"That was soooo good~", The group all chuckled and smiled at her obvious contentment.
After a while of just sitting and talking the group decided to head back to the apartment the women were staying at.
Kamryn went to the kitchen to make some tea while Olivia and the two men went to the living area.
Kamryn rested back against the counter, sipping her tea slowly as she listened to the soft chatter coming from the other room. Her mind went to Kisame. What was he doing? When were they going to come for her and Olivia? She was really missing the big guy. Then her thoughts drifted to her family. They had been in this world for months now, had anyone even noticed they were gone? Was her grandma worried?
Her train of thought was interrupted as someone stepped in to the kitchen with her. Looking up to see Kakashi, she gave a small smile, "Decided you wanted some tea after all, Sensei?"
"Nah," he waved a hand in the air, "Just wondering what you were doing in her so long alone."
She hadn't realized she had been so long, and as she took a sip, of her now cold, tea, she really realized how long she had been lost in thought. She set the tea cup down on the counter, letting out a sigh.
"Something the matter?" He asked, leaning against the table, crossing his arms over his chest.
She made sure she wasn't looking at him, "I'm just missing people..." She rubbed her eyes.
"The people back in your old world?" He questioned, feeling bad for her.
"Yes..." She stared at the floor. "And... It may sound weird to you, but some of those Akatsuki guys were pretty decent, and I miss being around them too."
Kakashi frowned, knowing she had some attachment to the Akatsuki was not a good thing. It would make them less likely to give up information, and more likely to betray them.
But he understood. Being with people so long, you form attachments, even when they're horrible criminals. The girls didn't seem mistreated, maybe the Akatsuki were good to them.
There was a silence between the two, neither of them making eye contact.
"So, what did you do in your world?" He asked finally, his single eye going from the floor to her face.
She was taken by surprise at the sudden break of silence, and question.
"I was an editor." Her eyes were still trained on the floor, brows furrowed.
"That's why you're so into books?" He asked, wondering what she was thinking.
Her eyes finally casted upwards, from his feet to his lone eye.
"I suppose. Though it's kinda the other way around. I am an editor because I love books so much."
"I see...", He paused, looking at her closely, "Do you remember what happened when you were brought here?"
Kamryn pursed her lips at him, thinking. She wasn't sure if he was curious about what happened... or just trying to slowly pull information about the Akatsuki from her.
Deciding that whichever it was didn't matter since she knew nothing of the location of the base, the group had even managed to keep the village name a secret from them, she told him what she remembered.
"We were actually on vacation. On a cruise ship, which no one believes by the way. Uhm, I was dealing with these guys that were messing with us when there was a really bright light. Then... I woke up in the middle of the woods. I figured the ship wrecked or something and that someone had pulled me further inland but after finding Liv and walking for hours, we kinda realized that that wasn't the case... The next day, they found us. They thought we were suspicious and took us with them after knocking us out. We have been with them since."
"What did they do with you?" He asked, more curious about their time with the Akatsuki than anything else.
She narrowed her eyes at him, "They befriended us. Helped us adjust. They didn't know what happened to us and they helped us. Gave us a place to stay, food, clothes, books, whatever we wanted. They trained us to defend ourselves. They aren't monsters despite the tone everyone uses for them."
Noticing that she was closing up and getting defensive, he decided to change the conversation.
"Alright... tell me about your family...?"
She looked at him a second before conceding and starting to tell him more about her life.
Olivia sat nervously alone with Iruka in the living room, after Kakashi left to go check on Kamryn.
She couldn't help but think the older man was cute, his infectious smile and polite nature was incredibly endearing... and completely opposite from Hidan.
Her thoughts drifted to the foul-mouthed man for just a moment, wondering if she'd ever see him again, but Iruka interrupted her thoughts.
"So, you know what I do, what did you do?" He asked, a curious small, smile on his face.
She met his eyes, scratching the back of her head, "Well, not much... I was an intern for the publishing company Kamryn worked at."
"So what did you normally do?"
She thought, "Mostly I fetched coffee and made copies, but sometimes I got to do some editorial work."
"I see... you wanted to eventually move up to be an editor, then?"
She shrugged, unsure of what she had wanted from her future.
He smiled at her nonchalant answer, trying not to seem nervous about being left alone with the younger woman. He was silent for a moment, trying to think of another topic to discuss.
"Well, enough about me..." She couldn't stand the awkward silence, "What do you do in your spare time?"
It was his turn to scratch the back of his head, he couldn't really think of anything to say. He didn't do much besides work, sleep, eat, and well, that was about it. He had his weekly ramen nights with Naruto, but that was it.
"Nothing much..." He let a small laugh out, "I'm boring."
She rolled her eyes, not believing the man. "Suuuure..."
He looked a little taken aback at her response, he had been being honest. "Really, I don't do much other than work."
She narrowed her eyes at him, thinking there was no way someone as nice, and as cute, as him didn't have a social life.
"So you don't have friends you hang out with... a girlfriend... nothing?" She asked, being a little insensitive.
He flinched at her tone, but answered nonetheless. "Ah, no..."
She barely saw the reaction, but noticed the change in his demeanor and voice.
She averted her eyes, feeling a little bad for being so rude, but when she looked back at him, he still had a small, kind, smile on his face.
She fidgeted, "Uh, sorry, that was a little rude. You just seem so nice and all, it's hard to believe you don't have a lot of friends and stuff..." A small blush creeped onto her cheeks, not used to apologizing.
His smile widened, a little happy to see that the brunette thought so much of him after just meeting him, he accepted her apology.
"So, other than Kamryn, what friends did you leave behind?" He asked in return, curious about her life in another world.
She let out a small laugh, "Oh, I don't have other friends."
His eyes widened a little at her way of saying this, people normally aren't happy about such a thing.
"No one?" He asked again.
She shrugged, "Well, I mean I had friends back with the Akatsuki, kind of, but as for where I am from... no, Kamryn was all I felt I needed."
He arched a brow, friends at the Akatsuki, there was no way...
"So, the Akatsuki, they treated you two nicely?" He hesitantly asked.
She shrugged, "Yeah, I mean, they gave us everything we wanted. Hidan was a bit of an ass, but that was about the only problems we had."
His brows shot up at the direct mention of a well-known Akatsuki members name, thinking there was no way these two sweet women were close to the worst of the worst.
She noted his reaction to the mention of Hidan, maybe she shouldn't have mentioned him?
Silence washed over them once more, before Kakashi and Kamryn entered back into the living room.
"Well, what do you all want to do?" Kamryn plopped down beside a quiet Olivia.
Everyone shrugged, Kamryn picked up the TV remote to flick it on to see if they had cable.
And they did, she channel surfed until an interesting enough movie came onto the screen.
The four sat, with the TV being the only noise.
Turns out, the movie Kamryn had stopped on was a horror movie. With the living room lights out, and it growing darker outside, the women got more and more worked up.
At one point, Olivia screamed and hid her head behind Kamryn's back. Kamryn mostly stayed calm and cool, but had a death grip on Olivia's arm.
The men went from watching the movie to watching the women's reaction, they would both deny it if asked, but they couldn't help but find their reactions cute.
After the movie the women cooked a hearty dinner of pork with rice and veggies. The group ate and talked for a while longer before deciding to turn in for the evening as Olivia's head started nodding mid conversation.
The women bid farewell to the men with smiles on their faces before saying goodnight to one another and retreating to their own rooms and thoughts.
