Chapter 10

The struggled was real. I hardly pushed the door with all my strength I had and with a few bites of toast from my breakfast. I could feel that Kakashi also pushed it from the outside. Noticing his foot stuck between the door and frame, I released a deep breath and shouted.

"Yaaahhh!" I stomped on his foot. He groaned sickly and I stomped on it repeatedly until…

"Stop it! It hurts!"

"Then pull it out," I said while still holding on the door.

"No, then you're going to close your door and I can't talk to you! Beside that it's stuck! You push the door too hard." I nearly rolled my eyes at his statement. He was a high class ninja and could use various jutsu in order to entering someone house and he choose door? I thought he was a genius? Gai, you weren't lying to me right? What was the matter with your eternal rival?

"Then don't talk with me." I said instead after a moment, ignoring his other statements and leaned heavily on the door.

"No!"

"Just leave me alone Kakapine!"

"Don't call me that!" He shouted and I heard he mumbled about not being a porcupine. Like I cared about that at this moment! My life was at stake now. Not that he really had any influence in it but I know he got some nasty point and I didn't want to hear any of it from him especially.

I rolled my eyes and turned around so that my back was leaning on the door. My eyes widened at my discovery. I found an escape road. Bingo!

Silently while still pushing the door using both of my arms, I wore my sandals. Taking a deep breath, I calculated in my mind.

Three.

Two.

One!

Released the door, I quickly jumped away and dashed for the nearest window in my sight. Hearing a loud thud followed with a sickly groan, I didn't even looked back. With practiced hands, I slid the window opened and jumped on its windowsill. Good, it was sturdy. Turning my head slightly, my eyes widened as I noticed Kakashi hand was merely a few inch from my leg. He moved so fast! Like a lightning! Without any delay I jumped away out from my window and landed safely on the next building roof. Thank goodness that I was practicing my chakra control almost everyday and joining Iruka on his prank spree really did help a lot especially on running away part from angry Mizuki and sometimes Ren-sensei. Iruka deserved a big bowl of ramen from me later. He was really a good teacher for someone who didn't have any basics like me.

I quickly ran away and jumped a few times until reaching the market district. Landed on the ground, I hastily suppressing my chakra and entered the market which full of people mainly woman who were searching and buying the fresh materials for their lunch and so on. I hope he never found me here and my hope easily dissipated into the air as I instantly noticed Kakashi's chakra presence around the market. Oh my, this chakra sensor thing was super cool; I was so going to do more practice on it later. Without waiting any moment, I left the market at different direction where I felt his presence.

Our not so tag game was reached the end when I arrived at nearest training field around Konoha. I scanned my surrounding frantically and shrugged. I didn't really know well the area here. I listened as someone landed on the ground behind me.

"Finally!" Kakashi said and hugged me tightly from my back.

What the fuck?

I instantly elbowed his stomach and he quickly released me from his deathly hug, gasping for some air. I quickly turning around and glared at him. "What do you think you're fucking doing Hatake Kakashi?"

He averted his gaze to the ground. "I thought…thought that I was losing you when you jumped away from the window!"

"Tch…" I gritted my teeth and snorted. "I'm capable of looking after myself! Don't treat me like a fragile glass thingy!"

"But!"

"I'm not Nohara Rin, Kakashi!"

"…!" His visible eye widened. I guessed he got it that I wasn't that Rin.

"Got it?" I still spoke with high voice but not nearly to another yelling competition with him.

"…"

"Whatever second chance or anything guilt feeling you had for her, it's nothing to do with my life."

"You…"

"Heard it? Yeah, I'm fucking hear it Kakashi! So, stay away from my life. I'm not Rin that once your team mates or whatever relationship you two had. I'm Suzuhara Rin! We are different person. So face it then. I have my own life. I can choose whatever path I want to move on."

"Being a shinobi is not a good choice, Rin…san…"

"Drop the honorific when you don't really mean it, Kakashi."

"Rin…"

"And I already enjoyed the whole year in the academy."

"What?" Kakashi's single eye widened. He took a step forward while I took backward, better kept away some distance from him.

"You hear me." I shrugged nonchalantly.

The silver haired ninja glared at me. "That's why you asked about the academy before."

"And you don't really answer it at all."

"Then why?"

"I want it! I have my own goal in my life, so I need to be a shinobi."

"What goal? Revenge?" He narrowed his single gaze which already looked weird and scary too. I averted my gaze away so there was no eye contact between us.

"Revenge? No!" I quickly answered. Knowing how this Rin had lost all her family members and everything, I didn't really think about revenge. If anything, my aim was the jutsu. The jutsu that brought me into this world. Crossing my arms, I simply stared at the grassy ground. "You don't need to know or understand what my goal is."

"Can you tell me?"

"No," I said firmly and looked at him without any wavering moment.

"Being a shinobi…"

"Stop it will ya?" I groaned and sighed. Staring at him with steel determination, I spoke calmly, "I know the risks and I know what kind of life a shinobi is and I don't need someone babying me and lead me to a safer and nicer way of life. Thank you for your concern Kakashi-san but I'm okay with this. I wished we don't have to do this kind of conversation but sadly it can't be avoided. I'm sorry." I bowed slightly at him and closed my eyes hoping that he would understand my determination on my choice. I wasn't going to tell him my reason and origin or whatever it was. This world for me remained a fictional one in my mind while it looked and felt like very real. I might find real friend here like Iruka and others from my class at the academy but I wouldn't forget Ao my friend at the other world.

Something was thrown on the ground and stuck in it and it happened in front of me making I opened my eyes. "Kunai?" I said with confused toned and looked at up at Kakashi.

"Fight me, I'll show you what being a shinobi is." He said emotionlessly.

I stared at him and noticed the changes. He looked stern and deadly serious now. I gulped, knowing this was so going bad now. "Are you crazy? I'm just a pre genin and you're a jounin!"

"A shinobi never turned down any challenges."

"What the…" I spoke softly disbelieved with his sudden act changed and picked up the kunai. I guessed Kakashi think that a nonverbal approach was needed since I rejected every of his words. I glared at the piece of weapon in my hand. A standard kunai, I thought and it was pretty heavy for someone in child body. I looked at Kakashi who also took out another kunai in his hand. He was a jounin, pretty young one too. I didn't really know about his ninja career, actually I didn't really cared about him at all and since the hokage sealed my memory about this world, I didn't really had any information about the characters here anymore. The one I never met before the sealing, I didn't know them unless I decided to make friends or had any contact with them which I never thought much. I looked at the kunai in my hand again. So this was the way Kakashi wanted. I might lose in this, but I was going to show him that I made my choice in my life and I not regretting any moment of it. I looked at the silver haired ninja with calm face. Our gaze clashed. "Fine, I'll do it."

I jumped backward several times and hastily stood up before stopping another harsh attack from Kakashi. Our kunai clenched on each other and I gritted my teeth as the vibration of our hit reverberated around my body. He hit hard harder than Mizuki, my mind supplied as I noted my foot step wavered a bit. I tried for a quick kick but he already jumped away, stopping on a tree and dived for another attack.

The rules were we had taijutsu with the single weapon in our hands which was the kunai and there wasn't any jutsu involved. The fight was within the field and no forest involved. As for no jutsu rule, I barely knew the three standard academy jutsu and that was fair coming from Kakashi. Who knew how many jutsu he had under his hands?

So far we mostly did the hit and ran, dogging, kicking and punching. Of course my stamina depleted at very fast rate. This wasn't like the fight with Mizuki. The feeling surrounding Kakashi was deadly. I supposed that was the one we called killing intent. I didn't like the feeling since it made a twisted feeling and dread in deep of your stomach and sudden heart rush which could make dizziness and inability feeling of your body but I guess this could be useful for future. Positive thinking on my part not him anyway, I guessed. In order to overcome it was by producing your own killing intent.

Kakashi had deadly accuracy. I knew it since I saw his training months ago but right now it felt like he aim lightly on me. Not that I was asking for it but most of his hit didn't really injured me so far. While his hit was pretty accurate and deadly, I barely managed to avoid everything. Barely…

"Huh?" I stared at the sky and then noted messy spiky silver hair hovered over me before finally my eyes met a single eye and mask. "I'm lying on the ground?" I confusedly asked and panted. Apparently he managed to pin me down with his kunai stuck on the ground near my neck. I scanned our position and while it looked same but I couldn't use the same trick with Mizuki now, I was exhausted.

"If I'm your enemy, you'll be dead by now," Kakashi said calmly. What he was made of? Didn't he feel tired at all? Ah, forgot that he was jounin material. Fighting with a pre-genin was most likely a pinch for him.

"So…your point?" I panted lightly now.

"Stop being a ninja, stop going to the academy. Have a normal life."

I glared at him tiredly. "No," I said firmly.

"Rin!"

"No, just no." I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Now or never, I thought and instantly I opened my eyes, I kicked hard at certain area making the young jounin eye widened.

Groaning sickly and curling on the ground, Kakashi cursed coloufully. I took the chance, quickly rolled away and stood up.

"Never underestimate your opponent." I smiled and noted another presence around. Turning around I found Gai and Iruka stared blankly at our direction. "Um, I can explain?" I spoke softly.

"Go away!" Kakashi hissed while still curling on the ground. "This is not over! I'm going to remember this!" He added angrily.

Gai patted my shoulder and pushed me to Iruka. "Tomorrow." He simply said and I nodded. I left the rivals behind and stopped beside Iruka.

"Let's hope that he is still has the ability to gain children," Iruka said sagely and looked at me. "Now I remember why we guys never mess with girls. It's freaking…"

"Risky?" I supplied since Iruka paused for quite time.

The scarred boy nodded. "Yeah, risky for our…"

"Ability for breeding?"

Iruka nodded again. "Yeah, something like that…"

I looked at the sky. Nearly lunch hour I noted. "Ramen Iruka? My treat."

"Yeah, sure…"

I guessed it will take some time for Iruka to act normal again.

I stood stiffly in the hokage room facing the blond haired hokage. He looked amused while I avoided our gaze clashed. I guessed the news I assaulted his student had reached him.

"I'm not going to say sorry, he deserves it," I said and shrugged. "Besides, he started it first."

The hokage laughed lightly. "I'm not going to comment anything about it. That's not my issue."

I snorted. "Fine by me," I said and looked at him properly this time. "Yondaime-sama, is there any new information regarding the jutsu since you summon me from the academy?"

"Nothing new about it, from the searching about those bandits, we didn't get much on it. They aren't really ninja but they might have some bloodline jutsu or something like that. Since that accident, the group is never coming around anymore."

"Oh…"

"I'm sorry Rin-chan there isn't really any lead so far."

I nodded slowly. "It's okay, I understand." Learning the history about this world and with Iruka additional information, we just passed the third shinobi war. All of the affected hidden villages including Konohagakure now were replenishing their man power. I guessed the investigation on minor incidents like Rin's situation would take longer time especially after the war. I hoped it wouldn't take much more time anymore. I looked up at the slightly solemn hokage. "So, what else? I think if there is no news about the jutsu…"

Yondaime quickly recovered and smiled at me. "Ah, actually I'm going to be father," He said with a happy grin.

I smiled and nodded. "Yeah, I know that already. Met your wife at Ichiraku's and she sort of tell us. Congratulation."

"Thank you, and that's also how Kakashi knew about your shinobi training."

"I guess he was around since I felt his chakra."

"You're right about that Rin-chan, actually…"

"So, Kushina-san what're we going to do today?" I asked softly while trying to find Kakashi's chakra.

"Stop doing that, Rin-chan. Just relax. He isn't going to disturb us." The red haired woman smiled.

I smiled back and relaxed myself. There was really no point in searching for him now since I learned that Kakashi was Kushina-san protector for the whole her pregnancy time. I grinned at that when I learned the news. No Kakashi and his annoying lecture about being shinobi was dangerous and bla bla bla for the whole nine months!

Apparently my happiness was for the short period only. The hokage decided that I was going to had class with his wife about seals and sealing techniques she was one of the masters around the village. I simply agreed to it since this was my chance for gaining knowledge and I was a step forward to my goal. He had decided I was going to have the class on weekdays after the academy at their home. It was a lovely home and knowing who the owner was, I approved it. Minato and Kushina was really a nice pair.

I took a deep breath and looked at the red haired woman with a smile.

"Kushina-san?"
