Not my longest chapter so far and I know it's kind of slow to start but I am trying to piece some of the puzzle together so some future events will make more sense. So bear with me okay. Oh and if anyone is confused thus far, this is obviously before Kakashi gets assigned Team 7 but they will come later and things will flare up from there. I hope to keep it interesting for my readers so the chapters might take a little longer to update but I will get them up as quickly as I can. Also depending on the response I get from this story. Anyways, enjoy :)

Chapter III

Thanks to the Hokage's generosity, finding the items that she so desperately needed wasn't too much of a hassle. The village provided plenty as far as variety went and the only thing proving problematic was locating the right store. That and keeping a low profile as Hatake Kakashi followed her into every store. Of course that was easier said than done as eyes were on them, curiosity pouring from each individual that chanced a glance in her direction.

Lilith made her way into a clothing store first off and was able to purchase something more suitable to wear during this, hopefully short outing. With a simple pair of the typical black spandex she had seen on many of the individuals, mostly the ninja she had come across, she was able to keep to something close enough to what she would wear in her own world.

A simple dark purple t-shirt that fell loosely to her hips finished off her casual look. Pulling it on with a satisfying sigh the moment the garment was purchased, maneuvering so as to do so without having to take off the black shirt she still wore that Kakashi had lent to her. Upon notice, this may have brought forth more attention than she had hoped for. The black spandex went a little passed mid-thigh and the shoes she was able to find were the typical that were found throughout the village.

"Much better." Lilith cooed as the two continued on down the dusty streets of the village. Bags in both hands filled with clothing to help fill the small space of a closet she had at the flat. It wasn't much but it would do for the time being, at least until she could find a job of some sorts.

As the two continued on the silence between them was interrupted with the loud sound of Lilith's stomach. With a groan she looked at Kakashi out of the corner of her eye, a small blush covering her cheeks. How embarrassing, it wasn't like it couldn't have waited till she got home to let itself be known again. Kakashi chuckled as he walked on with his face buried in his book.

"We can stop here if you would like." He motioned with his head to a small restaurant. The smell of the food coming from it had her stomach growling loudly again. It would seem she would have to give in and at least put some food into her deprived stomach.

"Sure." Lilith mumbled as she turned and started walking into the building. Once the doors opened the smell hit her full force and her mouth began watering in response. It was a quaint little place, very inviting and the staff upon first impression seemed very friendly. No one paid any mind to her and her companion so it was an instant win for her. If there was a place in Konoha that she could escape the judgment even if it was for a moment she was going to jump at it.

They were both seated quickly and the dim lit room helped to calm her nerves even more. Once they were comfortable a young woman approached the table and took their orders, well Lilith's. Kakashi didn't seem to want anything at the moment. As Lilith looked at him she studied his form, she concluded it was of course because of the mask that he declined. No big deal, she was still going to eat, his privacy issues weren't going to stop her from stuffing her face.

Sometime later the young woman returned with the food and hesitated for a moment at the table. Lilith noticed it right away and quirked an eyebrow. The waitress had her eyes on Lilith much to her surprise. She was sure that the girl would be gawking over the man that sat just across from her, nose deep in his book.

"Um, is there a problem?" Lilith asked after she had, had enough of the staring. It was rude and rudeness was just another one of her negative ticks.

The young girl blushed and blinked a few times in response, "Oh, my apologies I didn't mean to stare." She waved her hands defensively. "I just couldn't get over your hair. Is it natural?"

A very strange question, very strange indeed. On instinct Lilith's hand raised to touch her head. What was so different about her hair here that caught this girl's attention? And of course it was natural; she had never dyed her hair, not once in her entire life.

Kakashi cleared his throat and caught Lilith's attention, his book no longer in front of his face. The best she could tell from the majority of his face being covered, he had a look of pure curiosity. With the one visible eye he looked at Lilith and hummed to himself but it was audible enough for her to hear.

"What?" Her hand dropped to her lap and she looked between the waitress and Kakashi, her eyes asking for an answer to their sudden weirdness.

"It is quite unusual." He murmured.

"What is so unusual about it?" A bit of panic rose from her. What the heck was wrong with my hair? What did Madison do to me?! Does it look bad? Suddenly a feeling of being self-conscious overtook her and she sank back into her seat.

Finally the waitress spoke up, "It is unusual for sure but I kind of like it. The color is quite beautiful and it really goes with your silver eyes."

Lilith about fell out of her chair, what color are my eyes?! Before the other two could react or say anything further, she had jumped from her seat and was running towards the restroom. The door flew open and she ran straight towards the sink. With wide eyes she stared at herself in the mirror, or at least she thought it was herself. A slow, shaky hand went to her face and her finger tips lay right beneath her eyes. The waitress was right, her eyes were a silvery color, and they were actually beautiful…and a bit creepy. Framed by long dark thick lashes making them really stand out. She gasped when she looked at the rest of herself. That jump between dimensions must have had this effect on her appearance.

She looked nothing like what she remembered she was supposed to look like. Hair now flowing to her waist in loose waves that not being what stood out to her the most. The color was really throwing her off, instead of her natural dull brown it was a light shade of purple. It was weird and would definitely take some getting used to but it was beautiful. The contrast of her light skin, silver eyes and new hair color, it all flowed so well together. Her look before was so boring and typical. It was lazy and if she really wanted to do something different it took too much effort, much more than what she was willing to dish out. This on the other hand was amazing, not only had those features changed but her body had taken on a completely different form.

Before, she was this skinny, no shaped dull 21 year old that never stood out in any way. That she did like but there were times that she was tired of being ignored. Sometimes she craved attention but disliked the work she would have to put in to get it. However, this change was sure to turn some heads but she wasn't so sure how she would react to the different emotions of others. She had already ran from the first two to say something about her looks, how was she supposed to deal with others?

Her eyes traveled over her body and she couldn't help but gap at herself. She looked good. At a glance she noticed something, or rather things that really stood out, if that is the right way to put it. A loud shriek left her when she grabbed the collar of her shirt and peeked down. The waitress from before rushed into the restroom with wide eyes, she must have been waiting outside for Lilith to return.

"Is everything okay?" The girl asked in a panic.

"Wh-where the hell did these come from?! And how the hell did I miss them?" Lilith bellowed and pointed to her chest gripping her collar firmly in her fist. The young waitress stared at Lilith completely dumbfounded, blinked a few times and then began to giggle. "It-it's not funny!" Lilith glared at the girl which only made her laugh more.

"I'm sorry," the girl said as she took a deep breath to calm her laughter. "I am not sure what you mean but if I were you I wouldn't complain."

"Stuff like this doesn't just grow over night though." Lilith defended. "I mean look at me." She turned her body in a complete circle to show the girl what she was trying to get at. Waving her arms up and down her body to emphasis her need to justify how unnatural this change was.

"I see nothing wrong. Your look is very unique and I think you are very beautiful. I would kill to have a body like that." The girl pointed to Lilith and then crossed her arms with a smile.

There were a few key things about her body that she noticed, well let's just say, stuck out more. Her chest was twice the size it had been before and her waist was slim with a deep hourglass shape leading to well pronounced hips. She noticed another perky addition to her features and immediately started blushing.

"How the hell could I have missed all of this?" She mumbled staring into the mirror once more doing a once over of herself.

The laughter of the girl standing in the restroom with her caught her attention and she turned her head to look at said girl. "I'm sorry I keep laughing but I still don't see the problem here. You look amazing." The warm smile on the girl's face sent a wave of warmth throughout Lilith. She returned the smile with one of her own and then took a deep breath. Shock still evident but she was managing to suppress it for the need to eat was letting itself be known again.

With one last glance at her reflection she turned away from the mirror and faced the exit. "Just one more reason to strangle that no good friend of mine." She whispered as she walked out of the restroom, the waitress following close behind.

The rest of the meal went off without a hitch. Lilith managed to strike up a small conversation with the young waitress whose name she found out to be Hana. Sweet girl and she managed to get a small discount on the meal for Lilith so now she liked her even more.

"Okay, I think that is everything." Lilith said with a deep breath. She turned to face Kakashi who stood in the middle of the living room space. "Thanks for the help. I don't think I could have found my way around without you."

Kakashi waved a hand and placed the other in his pocket. "Just doing my duties." The corner of his eye crinkled as a smile spread beneath his mask.

With a small scoff Lilith smiled, "Sure. Your 'duties' which entail you to watch my every move and babysit me as your Hokage sees fit?" She received only a shrug as an answer and she rolled her eyes playfully. "Still, thank you."

Kakashi titled his head to the side, "You're not getting all soft on me now are you?"

"Can't you just take this simple show of gratitude and zip it?" She grabbed a pillow from the couch and threw it but of course he caught it with ease. "Besides, I'm sure you will have plenty more chances to get on my bad side." She waved her hand as she walked into her bedroom.

Footsteps caught her attention but she refused to look at the doorway were she knew he now stood. With a sound of surprise she dropped the bag of clothes she had just picked up when something soft made contact with the back of her head. A glance to the side, it was the pillow she had thrown at Kakashi earlier. She reached for it fully intending on sending it flying back at him but she turned to face an empty doorway. "Oh that sneaky…" she huffed and threw the pillow onto the bed. A small smile crept on her face as she continued putting her clothes away and organized the small space to her liking. If she was going to be stuck in this world then she might as well make herself comfortable.

Over the course of the first week in the new world, Lilith had been healed by Akemi. The treatments were doing wonders and by the end of the last treatment the pain she had felt previously was nonexistent. It was nice to have met someone in this world that she could talk to from time to time and she found herself speaking more openly with the woman. Now the so called specialists were another story. Interrogation was an understatement. Each session with them left Lilith with a massive headache and a thirst for the destruction of their lives.

They were far from nice but still she understood the precautions that were being taken when it came to her so called arrival. It was mysterious and all together just plain hard to believe. She wouldn't have believed a word of it had she not lived it.

With a slow rotation of the neck and hearing the satisfying pop Lilith unlocked the door to the flat she had been staying in. It had been announced by midweek that Kakashi would only accompany her to and from the meetings with the village specialist and to see the Hokage should he require her presence. As he had stated, with her previous show of her fighting abilities she was really no threat to anyone but herself. This of course resulted in an attempt to smack him in the back of the head but ended with her pinned to the floor.

She dragged her feet across the floor and down the hall to the small bedroom. Reaching for the handle with her hand she stilled as the door slowly opened. She was sure she had closed the door when she had left. With caution she pushed the door open further and peeked into the room. It was quiet, not a sound, the door was eerily silent as it moved on the silent hinges.

With a hesitant step Lilith entered the room and scanned the entire space. Nothing was out of place; everything sat exactly where she had placed it earlier in the day. As she walked throughout the room her heart steadied itself and continued its normal rhythm. Maybe it was all in her head, the thoughts of what this world contained still haunted her a bit from time to time.

"Well then." She mumbled as she walked into the small bathroom and pulled the t-shirt up and over her head. Her spandex were then removed and kicked off to the dirty pill growing in the corner of the small bathroom. "Need to do laundry." She noted to herself and turned to look in the mirror. She was still trying to grasp onto the concept of her new look. The many compliments she had been getting over the week were nice and a few had her turning scarlet.

With her undergarments still on she walked from the bathroom and towards the kitchen. A habit that she did often, even in her own world. There was just nothing like having the freedom to roam around your own home with next to nothing on. It was the ultimate comfort to just grab an oversized t-shirt and relax on the couch for hours reading a good book. Also something she hadn't had the privilege to do until recently.

An afterthought as she passed through the bedroom and she walked towards her dresser to find a large enough shirt. The only one she had that would do the trick was not even hers really. It was the shirt Kakashi had lent her the first time she had met him. With a smile she pulled the dark garment over her head and walked out of the room towards her previous destination.

She walked into the small kitchen and rummaged through her cabinet for a mug. Coffee in the middle of the day didn't make much sense but for some reason she had a craving for the dark liquid. Once the pot was going she set the mug down next to it and turned to walk into the adjoining living room. She plopped down onto the couch and let out a long sigh. No book to read but the silence that filled the room was peaceful and she soaked up every ounce of it.

With her mind so lost to the comforting silence she closed her eyes and slipped into a light slumber. She was unaware of the door when it opened and even the light click it made once it was shut again. Unaware of the footsteps that walked silently across the short space between the door and the couch she was lounging on peacefully. Even unaware as a tall figure stood over her form.

A light tapping on her forehead made her stir and aggravation stirred with it. What the hell was bothering her now when she had just gotten so comfortable? The annoying tapping did not stop until her eyes began to flutter open and she groaned. She was still half lost to the world when she heard a voice.

"Hey." It said.

Her eyes snapped open and she shrieked when she noticed the face that was so close to her own. On instinct she swung at the unknown intruder and was met with nothing as they dodged effortlessly. As a result she fell from the couch onto the floor. A light chuckle rang throughout the room and she glared at the man that stood so comfortably in the center of the room.

"Kakashi! What the hell?!" She snarled pushing herself from the floor. "You gave me a damn heart attack. You can't just barge into someone's home unannounced."

"Well, it makes it easy when I have a key." He swung the small piece of metal in her face as she approached him. Lilith's hand shot out trying to grab the key but he was able to snatch it away quickly, a small teasing smile hidden under his mask. "I am merely here to do what the Hokage has asked of me. And to inform you of your situation here."

This was quick to cease her movements and she looked at Kakashi with an eyebrow raised. "Okay? What's my situation?"

"After the time you spent with the ones that questioned you," Lilith scoffed as he started with that particular detail. Kakashi looked at Lilith and cleared his throat, "As I was saying, after a week of those meetings you have been cleared. The Hokage doesn't believe you have any ill intentions and has agreed that after a few months he will grant you full citizenship. Of course you will need to contribute somehow to the village and that brings us to the next topic of discussion." He paused to let it all sink in.

"What's that?" She questioned looking up at the man.

"You mentioned to me earlier this week that you would like to train. I have passed this information on to the Hokage as well. Do you still wish to proceed with that decision?" He placed his hands into his pockets as he waited for her answer.

Lilith continued to look at Kakashi, looking for any signs that might be misleading but could find none. She had mentioned that she would like to train but didn't think it would be an actual option for her considering she was an outsider…a way outsider.

"Say I do. What are the conditions, because I know there are going to be some?" She questioned crossing her arms over her chest.

"Well, if you choose this option you will become a shinobi of the leaf village…in time. You will be at the disposal of the wishes of the Hokage and will carry out assigned missions to the best of your ability. You will be loyal to the leaf and should you stray you will die." He stated bluntly. "It will not be an easy task. Becoming a shinobi takes a lot of physical and mental strain out on the body and will require your complete dedication. You will need to be focused. If you falter even just a little it could cost you your life."

Lilith looked at Kakashi and blinked slowly, "Straight to the point there huh big boy?"

"No point in hiding anything from you when it comes to this subject. You need to understand that with this decision you basically forfeit your life. Shinobi are not known for living long happy lives. They die." At this point he had become serious but it all too quickly vanished as his eye turned up in that familiar fashion, smiling under his mask.

"Well then when you put it like that how could I refuse?" Lilith said as a huge grin spread across her face.

"I'm not joking." Kakashi stated flatly.

"Neither was I." Her smile lessened and she poked him in the chest before turning around and walking into the kitchen. The answer was not what Kakashi had been expecting and mentally noted to keep an eye on her. He had explained this choice to many and even less were comfortable continuing on with it.

Lilith poured herself a cup of the freshly brewed coffee and set it carefully on the countertop to let it cool a little. Her eyes then trailed back to the man that stood stock still in the same place she had left him. He was looking at her strangely and it caught her attention. She walked slowly back into the room where he stood and stopped in front of him looking him in his one visible eye.

"So, will you be the one going through the hell of training me?" She grinned placing her hands on her hips and suddenly realizing that she was still just in her, well his shirt, and just underwear. A fierce blush glowed on her cheeks but she stood her ground.

With a long sigh, Kakashi looked at the woman that stood half naked in front of him. Of course he noticed but his eye stayed trained on hers, "Unfortunately so." He teased.

With a huff Lilith swung her fist to hit him in the arm but he caught it quickly. She pulled back but it was futile as he had too strong a grip on her. The smug look, well it looked like one, on his face made her groan. Jackass.

"First lesson, never attack first." He said calmly, his grip not loosening.

"Or what?" She glared at him. With as quick a movement she could she threw her other fist at him but just like before he caught it easily. She pulled back leaning at an angle away from him trying to get out of his grip. Before Lilith could right herself his right foot moved behind her right leg and he pulled back resulting in her demise.

As she fell to the floor he released her arms and she landed with a grunt. He stood over her and casually placed his hands into his pockets. "Or…that." He pointed out.

She rolled onto her side slowly and made to get up. With a sly grin she slowed her movements and with as much force as she could she kicked her leg out but hit nothing. Before she could register the lack of contact she felt a weight on her back and her left arm was pulled up behind her back painfully. It wasn't excruciating but it was enough to still her.

With a glance over her shoulder she came face to face with Kakashi. His masked face mere inches from hers and her breath hitched. He was straddling her back and had ahold of her arm so she could not move a centimeter. "You are going to need a lot of help, aren't you?" He questioned dryly.

Lilith mumbled a few curses under breath and smiled sweetly. "It would seem so. And as much as I enjoy the contact, the lack of clothes I am wearing is making this increasingly uncomfortable." Her statement caused Kakashi to freeze. He had forgotten about her clothing predicament and cleared his throat nervously. Talk about losing focus.

Highly inappropriate, nerve-racking, and all other things that could be used to describe this situation…and Lilith laughs. As Kakashi released her arm she felt the weight lifting from her back and she immediately pushed herself up to stand. She brushed herself off and looked at Kakashi who was standing comfortably in the center of the room again as if nothing had happened. With a snicker she walked back into the kitchen and grabbed the mug of coffee. Taking a whiff of the sweet aroma she moaned, she took a slow sip letting the hot liquid trail down her throat and warm her inside. Amazing stuff.

I might not be able to beat him now, but I will get him. She thought as she looked at the man standing in the same place again. "Hey, Kakashi?"

"Hmm?" He looked to her with that blank expression.

"Anything else, or would you like a round two?" She smirked behind her mug.

He rubbed the back of his head and smiled with his eye, "No, that pretty much covers it for now."

"Good. I guess you will be off then?" She took another slow sip of the delicious liquid.

"Uh huh." Kakashi turned quickly and headed towards the door. "I'll be here early tomorrow."

Lilith looked at him with a questioned expression, "Tomorrow?"

"Yep, your training starts tomorrow. Get plenty of rest…you'll need it." He sang and was out the door before she could respond.

"Great." She mumbled turning her back to the door and leaning against the counter, coffee mug between both hands.

"Oh, and wear that shirt." His voice caught her off guard and she nearly spilled the hot coffee all over herself.

"Huh?" she squeaked. She looked down to the shirt she had on and pointed to it. "This shirt?"

He simply nodded smiling under his mask. With a one hand wave he was gone again.

"Weirdo." She mumbled and shook her head staring at the closed door.

After the coffee was finished she walked back into her room fully intending on following Kakashi's instructions. She removed the shirt and replaced it with a different one. It was then folded and placed on the dresser. Whit a loud yawn, she stretched her hands over her head and turned around to face the bed. A small glimmer on the end of her bed caught her attention and she walked towards the strange anomaly.

"What's this?" She whispered as she picked up the small shard. It was pale blue in color and the instant she focused on it, it began to glow. The glow was light at first then slowly darkened to a deep blue. Lilith gasped; she had seen something similar to this a week ago. Madison's crystal had glowed this same blue. Had she been here? Lilith looked around frantically and something else caught her attention.

A small sliver of paper lay on the nightstand. "How did miss that?" She murmured as she picked up the paper, the glowing shard still in hand. She opened the note and immediately recognized the penmanship.

Hi Lilith!

If you are reading this then awesome. I am sure by now you have made the decision to become a shinobi and if not I would greatly advise it! Anyways, I also wanted to apologize again for throwing you into this mess. It is very sudden but I think my hunch about you is correct. To prove it further I have left you a small gift. The shard you now have in your possession is very important so do not lose it! It will be sought out by many and the majorities are not do gooders. If the shard you possess glows a deep blue then I was right. If not, well just try to enjoy your life here because you are stuck here. In the case that I was right, then that means you and I will cross paths for sure in the future and in the meantime get plenty of training. You will need it. It is confusing now but I promise it will all make sense.

Love,

Madison

Lilith looked at the shard that continued to glow and then back to the letter. With a low growl Lilith shut her eyes tight, "Madison, what the hell did you get me into?" She placed the letter and the shard in the drawer of the nightstand and pulled the comforter back. With her head full of so many thoughts and her system now filled with coffee she wasn't sure if she would be able to sleep at all. This was a lot and she was frightened…but at the same time she was eager to go further. For some reason all this was bringing a side of herself out that she did not know she possessed. She was scared but also excited about the future here and was anxious to get started. Tomorrow was the first day of her life choice to become a shinobi of the village that took her in and she was completely willing to learn as much as she could. After all, they didn't even have to give her this chance but they did.

"On the plus side," she hummed, "at least my trainer is kinda hot." She nuzzled into her pillow closing her eyes trying to force sleep to come.

Yes, yes I know. Damn short chapter and nothing has really happened but I promise it will progress. There will be some time skips later on to help with the progression. I might write some one-shots on the side to elaborate what happened during those times skips. This of course depends on my time and how well I can manage it. Okay so lovely readers please review. I won't hold the story hostage but I do like knowing what the opinions of my work are.
