Kakashi's empty home smelled nice like fresh linen. He was gone from the village for a while. His bedroom was clean and perfect, bed made, no laundry. I mindlessly checked his fridge that was mostly empty but I grabbed a pudding cup and shut the door walking around his home as I ate it.

Guy pushed me to do this again as Kakashi was avoiding him more and more and he was not the only one, he has also been avoiding me. I know he is on his couch or on a mission.

Picking up the cute picture of angry baby Kakashi and his genin team make me almost laugh. They all were so small, that is that boy he said was stupid, the Uchiha who's eye he has. No clue what happened to the cute girl and the fourth looked great, now I am older he was fucking fine and younger then I thought.

I just placed a picture of my stupid face carefully over the glass to not harm the frame or picture. I wonder how long it will take for him to notice. I had a few different ones thinking he had more pictures but no, just this one sadly, I was excited to place my face everywhere so placed one inside the shower door to startle him.

I then went to his book shelf, meticulously in alphabetical order like his home. I rolled my eye's and just switched around three books out of order.

I feel like I am pushing with these pranks but if I make him even angry I would be happy, he seems so blank and uncaring. According to Guy and them it has been slowly declining but the Uchiha shit really hit him.

They told me he was close to that Itachi guy.

How is this man even sane.

Walking out his home I paused because the bedroom door squeaked in the wind. Shifting it around it squeaked badly and was annoying. I stepped out with a mission to fix it for him.

I came back from a short mission and sat in the grass putting my wind around a Kunai, it glowed so pretty. Shifting my third element water into my chakra I tried to figure out what I could do with the two as earth and wind are hard to mix.

"I thought you died." Reili spoke from behind me making me smile.

"I did." I sighed. "You can just see ghosts."

"Damn fine ghost then." He sat next to me.

"Flattered." I chuckled, he wrapped his arm around me and pulled me into his chest, just cuddled into him.

"Been so long." I nodded back dropping my jutsu. "We need to have a party for you coming back, pissed you never came to find me."

"Ah I tried a couple times, you were not home."

"Right ya I moved." He let me go as I sat back up straight. "I moved in with my boyfriend." He spoke with worry in his tone like I would be mad. I was startled then smiled at him excited.

Oh I was interested in the drama and I made him spill the tea.

He fell in love before he admitted to himself he was gay. A twenty two year old non ninja he met at his favorite food place, would always sit in his section. Come about seven months ago they moved in together and it is strong and fun and sweet.

"Oh, I remember him." I smacked his arm and he smiled. "You took me there once." He blushed and nodded.

After we talked about what jutsu I was trying to do and I just was trying to do anything really, we sat there for a while just chatting about everything and decided on a party for the small circle of people we knew.

"Reili no." I sighed leaning my head on the wall outside a liquor store staring at the note.

'Party at...' I just wanted some basic friends over. I looked around ripped it off the wall before to many people get my address or time of the small party I was planning and going inside for stuff to drink for it.

I got ready for it tomorrow and moved to train more to make my own Jutsu. Messing with the first three elements still did nothing but fail. So I focused on moving through the elements as quick and easy as I could, maybe one day I will switch with the ease with three, then four and then all.

High hopes.

Come night heading home I was done doing the same nothing over and over again and was draining that I almost missed it and I paused mid step. I sighed took three steps back and found another post about my party this time to my whole building.

I almost pulled it off but... if they are invited maybe they wont be mad at the noise.

I had a shower and started to really clean so my home can be ready tomorrow. Shortly after midnight I heard the door of the man next to me that finally came home, two or three weeks gone I think.

I was about to leave and knock and talk and tell about having people over but as I got to my closed door I felt so annoying to him that I just dropped my hand sadly and stared at him through our doors like I knew where he was.

I frowned and picked up my mop.

The party is a banger, people I did not know, people I forgot existed showed up. My neighbors all came that the party half filled into the hallway. Some people were singing Karaoke badly, loud and packed.

I fluttered from group to group not noticing I knew plenty people. Izumo and Kotetsu even brought me a cake. Genma was with them as they made fun of my book collection. There was many people I did not know who judged me when I introduced myself not knowing it was my party.

I even got Guy in here, somewhere, where is he?

I heard a odd cry and turned to Reili shaking his bottle before he sprayed it all over me. I made a noise stepping back and shutting my eye's soaking me in alcohol. I looked around finding a can of juice and pored it over his head as he stood there looking at my face like it was on.

I saw his eye's scan for something but mine saw the cake, I grabbed a handful as his face slowly changed to shock when I jumped on him slamming the cake into his hair so fast. He shoved me off and grabbed the whole cake throwing it at me.

A random drunk man laughed, grab some off the floor and threw it at my back.

That started a cake fight between five of us. Some laughed, some looked at us like we were children but it was fun.

After the two of us stumbled into the bathroom not leaving each others sides, I started with washing cake of my hands before we wound up in the shower with our clothes on. I tried to get his hair clean when I tripped and fell out of the tub bashing my neck into the wall painfully and pulling my Curtin down on top of me, he fell backwards into the shower wall and slid down laughing his ass off getting this water all over the floor.

We laid there laughing so hard we could not get up.

The door rudely slammed open to the running shower startling me. I recognized him, it was that leader guy, the Aburame I once worked with when I first got back. Mr tall dark and handsome unsure why he was here and what he was doing but he just stood there, he did not look attractive now, he just gave me creep vibes.

The shock of him made the laughter turn to chuckling as we got up still covered in cake as Reili guided me away from him. We shared a look like 'what the fuck was that' and headed back to more drinks.

I had not seen Reili in so long that this was just wonderful, we are older and he was still amazing to me that we mostly clung to each other all night even when we joined other groups. He seemed free, less sexist.

I spotted Kakashi walk in and the smile grew on my face, I pushed by some people and ran at him as he looked bored. I half hugged him and he lightly patted me back feeling like he did not want that so I pulled off.

"Your here." I slurred and backed up.

"Ya, it is loud." He was quiet. "Our whole building seems to be here." He blankly spoke.

"Come, drink." I stepped back and waved him farther in he just shook his head.

"I just want to go find quiet." He turned away when he paused and my heart sank that I was having this party and the poor man wants to sleep. His eye squinted and I looked back to what he was looking at.

There was creepy Aburame again across the room, drink in his hand glaring at Kakashi for some reason. He looked at me worried and I waved him off. "Was like that when I met him, it is normal, can't even remember his name." I sighed he just nodded and turned away looking at him once more quickly before leaving.

I felt bad I basically kicked him out of his home when I was shoved forward and wrapped in arms a loud scream in my ear rolling with Guy on the floor. "Was that Kakashi?" He sat up and looked up as I rolled onto my ass and he was almost drunk crying. "I can't do anything else." Startling me. "I need friend, my friend."

I patted his weird hair. "I want to help my friend." I rubbed it comforting. This man never drinks and I know why, he is a blubbering mess. "I want to get the Hokage to take him out of ANBU." He cried. "Maybe we can make him do anything else."

"That is not a bad idea." I said back but I did not think much on it just patting his hair, it was softer then this cut would make you believe. "Calm down." I mindlessly spoke as I ran my hand around trying to see what he would look like had he changed it.

I pushed down a need to buzz cut his head while he would not care.

"KEI!." I looked up at Reili and he pointed to some man was wrapping himself up like a burrito in my blankets for some reason dragging it over the wet floor.

"Oh no you don't." I screamed. "Hey I just bought them."

"At least they are nice." Reili laughed as I ran passed him.

"Cleaner then yours."

"Hey!"

The morning mess was insane as I walked to my coffee maker, cake all over, drinks, smelled like ass and alcohol and there was Guy passed out in my tub when I used the bathroom. Party was amazing but this mess makes me want to cry.

I started to make some breakfast for me and Guy who may wake up soon, guy does get up at dawn most day's, should not be long.

Hmm.

I placed more in for an apology breakfast for Kakashi.

I cleaned off my table for three plates before I left my door open and knocked on his heading back inside my place. He looked adorably sleepy as he walked in and looked around blankly at my messy home and I pointed to a plate. "You can just take it if you want."

Shifting came from my bathroom. Kakashi seemed barely interested to see Guy walk out looking sick and hungover.

"Sorry." I spoke to him and he nodded as he took the plate away.

"Shocked Guy is here." Was finally said as he crossed into the hallway.

"Did you know, he is a drunk crier." I smiled at Kakashi.

"Never would have guessed." He spoke back and his door shut.

Guy just moaned and rubbed his hair and taking a bite of food. "I never am drinking again." He sighed. "This is amazing food." He ate. "I never drink." He went back. "I am going to need to run this feeling off."

"That is not how that works, just drink water." I yawned.

"Nope." He stood up and stretched. "Working out through sickness is the goal." He was gone not listening to me talking about how if you just push your body you can fix anything before he was done my plate fast and ran out of my home without any water or orange juice to help.

Freak.

I looked around and placed my head on the table at the mess.

Bounding through the tree's alone kunai in hand playing with wind and water chakra and basic hand signs when I shifted the already known wind boost and shoved water into it making me slid to a stop. I watched the wind glow slowly cover the blade in ice. I watched interested as it covered the blade completely.

Did I just?

I finally did something.

I tossed it into the tree, it did not go as deep as it would with just wind and I waited sadly that was it. I rubbed my head and looked up, need to finish my mission. I started to shift to go back up in the tree's when the ice started to spread.

I watched as it moved so slowly over the bark.

I pulled out two more and tried again, it took a moment to get it but I watched the ice coat the blade and tossed them also at the tree.

It spread through but way to slow, I walked forward grabbing another kunai and poked at it. it was frozen through all around these small circles.

Not good for mid fight but how interesting.

I could not seem to make it stop as I worried it would kill the tree but it finally stopped spreading at the size of a large plate and as I waited to see what happens when it slowly melted into water and leaked out. I wanted to try more but I was already late for where I was going.

I put all my stuff into my scroll from weapons to basic clothes and slid on a pretty yellow and white dress, took down my hair and slid some sunglasses before I landed on the road and walked into the busy land of stone town.

The place was loud and built strangely but esthetically pleasing in rock walls, closed in for safety. Passing a small men only restaurant I could here the laugh of a man coming from it as women stood outside trying to pull them in. I almost walked passed when I notice the name over the door.

Shit.

This can not be where I got the note they were to meet.

I slid inside and it was only half full a few open tables, the women passing me by like I was nothing when I spotted the freshly crossed out leaf symbol on this older man surrounded by two more men.

Should have been three but the one they are waiting for will not be coming.

I think if I was a man and I ignored the women they would notice, the booths were closed in with cloth but also open enough to see as I slid into the table across from them. I walked in with attitude and slid into the comfertable booth alone like I belonged. They looked my way but I ignored them.

Taking over one or showing up as the man I killed might out me as it is a small secretive conversation I know nothing about.

Two women came and sadly acted rude to me as I ordered food and drinks. One left and the other nodded taking my food as they watched us. "At least the pretty one stayed." I flirted leaning forward and her face changed to shock. "Ya, get me what you think is the best beautiful." I smiled and she smiled back seeing money in her eye's.

They chatted about nothing for the first ten minutes as I got awkwardly fed by some pretty girl that was overly fun to flirt with. I embraced it like that was why I was here. She put my drink to my lips and I sipped as her hand ran up my leg.

I was not the biggest fan but I could see why men might like this.

"So he is not coming." The leaf man finally spoke darkly in hushed tones and I perked up as the women walked off the get me more food even though I am stuffed. "I got it." He spoke to these men that sat quietly. "Map to leaf village, the prison, the code to the Library archives and the hidden ways into the village and a way around barriers."

He handed over a package to these men and they took it.

I was about to stand up and take that away but I wanted to wait one more moment to make sure that was all this conversation was about. "Well." I heard a strangely familiar voice. I turned to see the large man standing over them and his cascading locks was the most recognizable. He grabbed the package from the table and they all stood up ready to fight.

"Jiraiya" The leaf man yelled as I slid out of my booth.

"I guess I did not need to follow him like I did if your here." I slid next to him as he looked down on me his eye's bugged out of his head as he looked me over. The three men looked pissed at both of us now that I was closer and ready to fight.

One pulled his hands up in a fast style and he spit what looked like water in a cone like manor. Before I did anything the world around me changed and we stood in a long cave of pink and goo like floor. The walls were wet and it smelled like a garbage bin left in hot sun.

The water was blocked by a pink wall as it faded away like it was melting.

A large noise came from nowhere along the walls like something screamed, all this in a split second.

"Acid." Jiraiya said standing in front of me.

I tried to move my shoe was light stuck in goo as they looked around scared, it felt like I stepped in gum.

"Where am I?"

I was ignored and it was fast that he took them down so quick leaving only the defected leaf, picking up a symbol from the dead enemy's that were down for the count. The last man started to run but he did not get far down the path of pink. "I need some questions answered." Jiraiya yelled.

I was just standing there still stunned and confused. The man would not speak and stood there scared knowing there was no way out, he then focused and glared ready to fight the freaking sannin. "I will never speak." I was going to say I kind of could make him but the pink vanished and we stood outside the bar just the two of us.

He was left behind in what ever place we stood.

Jiraiya laughed as he wrapped his arm around me and smiled down on me. "Let's finish what we were doing huh darling." He walked me back to the bar. I was still a little out of it "Ya, a lot of people don't like being inside a toad but it was needed." He smiled as two girls passed us inside. "Not to hurt these pretty young things." He laughed.

Wait, in a toad? What does that mean?

We sat at my table and he ordered another drink, I just got back to my food.

"Leaving him there for some time may make him talk. No worries your mission is now over." He pulled my plate of snacks to him. "Glad to be on the same line as such a pretty girl but I got this from here."

"Shocked to see you actually." I finally said wondering if he remembers me. "I was just on a mission to follow him and find out what he was doing."

"Ya for me I was on the other side following the land of stone, looks like we made a good team."

"I did nothing." I laughed.

"Oh, you did plenty."

"Huh?"

"Nothing nothing." He waved and the women came back with his drink. It was crazy to actually talk to him. He was like a star you never get to see.

"Wish I had my book that you wrote for an autograph, it rocks." I spoke admiring him.

"Really?" He looked me over like I was a different person. "Well I have one." He pulled it out and wrote. "For such a cute partner." And slid it to me. I said thanks and slid it away as we both got distracted by another women.

And I asked for one more drink.

We barely spoke as two girls sat around him, he wrapped his arms around them laughing that deep laugh, dirty lines coming out of his mouth that brought me back to his book, ya he wrote it.

He is?

Fuck what is the word for this as I watched him engage with them.

Thirsty?

Creepy?

No not creepy, He is pushy and whatever word I was looking for but he did not have a creep vibe.

Provocative?

He was pretty attractive for an old man and he had this way that even if they were not being paid, they might entertain him. I did not need to be here. I slid out and he barely noticed.

"Thanks'." I spoke and he looked at me. "Have fun." I smiled.

I heard him say don't leave but was pulled into the three girls around him.

I was excited to meet him and get my book signed. Once out of the town I remembered Kakashi, he would love one. I was to gone to go back, if I feel real bad I can just give him this one.

I stopped at a land of stone large town still blended in and went shopping. I found some of the cutest things that were so different then home. The Ninja's passing through did not even notice me.

I got home and opened my door when I turned and knocked on his. At least this book may make him talk to me, he has not said a word to me since the party.

It took a minute and he opened the door, wet hair, towel in his hand. Loose clothing. "Damn still a mask?" I smiled and he just looked at me as I slid my hand into the scroll and pulled out the book. "You shower in that as well?" I joked.

His eye's landing on it as I slid it into his hand.

"I have this." He spoke confused.

"Open it." I waved and he did.

"To my sexiest fan you can stalk me anytime from the great Jiraiya." His blank but surprised voice was deep and comforting but my breath caught as he stared at me.

"Maybe I should have read it first." I laughed out and a small amused noise came from him. "Well it is yours now."

"Ya, It would be nice to be called sexy by him. Thanks." He eye smiled. Real or fake I had not seen it in some time.

"Ah well, he knows." I said walking back into my place. "You hungry?"

"No." He shut the door.

"Alright." I sighed.

"I am leaving." He yelled through the door making me frown fade in a small smile.

I came throwing my shopping bag on the table next to Guy who sat across from Kure and Asuma in whispers. They paused and greeted me, I seemed to interrupt something they were talking about and I felt odd and nervous when Kakashi went walking by.

I waved and they called out, he was in his Anbu outfit seemingly late for whatever he was doing as I left him an hour or so ago. He glanced at us but looked away and faced forward walking away before vanishing.

We all sat in the same sad silence.

"I am going to." Guy spoke finally. They nodded at him I looked confused maybe what they were talking about before I got here. He stood up and ran off and I sat there confused looking at them.

"We are going to ask the third to remove him from Anbu." Kure spoke as Asuma nodded.

"Good idea." I said softly looking at the table.

"Incase he does not listen to Guy we are all going to go ask until he does." She spoke.

"Count me in." I spoke smiling at them.

I dug in my dresser and I could not find a single bra of the three I own, I even dug in my laundry confused. The shirt I had on did not need one but sometimes I really do.

I had not pranked him in a while but I have messed with his socks. I never found out if he noticed my face in his frame but maybe this was Kakashi's doing and a small amount of excitement filled me if it was. He is retaliating, something he has not done in a while.

He has not been home long but he is here.

I slid on a slightly exposing top just to mess with him. Yanked up my skirt thing and walked to his home knocking loudly on his door.

I leaned on the frame with my hand in my hair when he opened the door and I smiled with a hint of flirting. I saw his eye flick for only a second. "It seems I have run out of something important and I am asking you." My tone went from flirting to threatening. "To give them back."

"What are you talking about?" He face slightly looked up away from me.

"I think you can guess." I reached out my hand for him to return them. He almost looked like he was blushing as he shook his head but he seemed sincere to not know what I am talking about. "Then where did they go?" I stood up straight.

"Where did what go?" He looked back at me coldly.

Now I felt embarrassed and stepped back. "Oh, um." He would have given them back by now. "Ew." I shivered walking home. "This is not good." I sighed.

"I told you to lock your door." He was cold again. "What did they steal?"

I turned back to him and waved my hand just below my chest making his eye land there again before looking at the sky. "Oh." I almost shut the door but he was behind me, he was serious like he was about to solve a crime walking passed me into my bedroom.

He looked out the large open window and then into my delicate drawer and picked up some of the most embarrassing undies. "A girl needs some some day's." I sighed, sadly the only kind I own. "Your not going to smell them are you." I asked distressed and ashamed.

He dropped them back.

He walked over and sniffed around my window. I bit my lip holding back a laugh at his reaction to my question even though if someone went through that drawer then ya, he should sniff it.

I could not help it as he looked like a kicked puppy and he was sniffing so it was just comical to me.

A small spider crossed by my foot weirding me out as I slammed my foot on it. "Oh did not mean to kill that, instinct."

"It is just a spider." He spoke. "I smell nothing."

"To bad." I smiled at him.

I had him in my home. I wanted to ask if he is leaving ANBU, why he seems worse then he was. What is going on inside his head, does he need a new dirty romance book. Does he even need a romance for himself?

I wanted him to come cuddle with me and spill his guts as I pictured it in my head, him crying and venting and hugging and it almost made me laugh at the stupidity of it. That is not Kakashi but I still want him to hang with me more.

"Well, lock your door and windows and next time I might catch a scent." I nodded and he left as I watched him walk away. I probably just misplaced them somewhere.

"Ready." I yelled at Kure who was sitting on the grass messing with some papers of words and hand signs, she needed a friend to help with genjutsu so here I was. She looked up confused and I tossed eight ice infused Kunai into the tree's around us.

They started to freeze around them faster then before but still so slow. "How?" She walked forward. "Sadly real slow." She slid on hand on her hip. "Hmm." She pulled out her own weapon and threw it at a small branch that was frozen and broke it off, it crashed into pieces like glass. "Nice."

"Ya, it is getting there."

We watched when I turned to her. "Let's work on you." She smiled and then her body vanished from where it stood, I could almost not feel the genjutsu in my head. It was so weak and faint I could be fooled, a small gentle touch the girl is good at chakra control to do it this well.

Tree's started to grow around me and fog set in.

Oh it was badass and I felt a small confusion pressed inside but I knew enough that I was curious and removed it. She was just standing in front of me slightly bent over as I looked at her ass. "Oh." It was startling she was still just in front of me, she looked at me sadly. "Do it again." I waved.

I walked home that night and saw the light on in Kakashi's home. I leaned on his door before even tempting mine and listened wanting to go inside. My heart is aching for him lately but I can't bother him as much as I want to.

He opened it and I fell onto my ass and just let myself lay completely on the ground looking up at him with a smile.

He wore only a tight black shirt and some lose pj pants but he looks better without that vest, sad it is always on him. I hate wearing one, they are bulky and heavy.

"You know I can hear you every time." He sighed down at me.

"Ah but this view is why I hope you open the door." I winked up at him and he stepped back away from my sight. I got up slowly as he left the door open inviting me in.

"So, I hear you are one of the reasons I have been dismissed from Anbu." I could not tell if he was mad or not. He walked into his kitchen and I noticed he was boiling water. "They don't know what is next for me." As he checked the heat.

I walked forward slowly towards him and tightly hugged him from behind. His body stiffened, I don't touch him near enough. After a second of thinking I was going to be pushed off I opened my eye's and smiled that I still held onto him.

I tightened my grip and he let me as we stood in awkward silence. I ran my hands down his chest lightly in a hug before letting him go. "Ah so nice." Slipped out awkwardly and I left feeling like I may have done wrong. I hate this feeling like I was in his space. I just wanted him to hug me back.

I walked out to give him space.

I shut his door and opened mine pausing and noticed.

It was not locked, I barely walked in and there was a feeling in me like something was wrong.

I stepped back worried and knocked with my back to his door. He opened the door confused and I pointed. "Sniff boy." I said softly. He walked around me and did so as he opened the door.

I followed him in nervously and slowly as he moved around, he went to my living room window and then to my bedroom. He sniffed around and then sniffed my bed making me feel a little gross wondering if it stinks.

When was the last time I washed them?

Oh that is not good.

He stood up and stood there, I took a couple steps worried at the way he was acting. "Sorry, the apartment is hot." I spoke wondering if it smelled like sweat and it probably does.

He shook his head. "I smell a man."

"Excuse me." I almost screamed. He looked at me sadly and worried.

"How about you stay in my place tonight." His eye's landed back on my chest reminding me my bra's are gone. I just nodded worried and he pointed me to my closet. I shuffled to grab PJ's and followed him out locking my door again.

He offered his bed but I made him give me the couch.

We mostly sat in silence for the length of the end of the movie he was watching and then he left me and just shut his bedroom door. I was still awake for the time it was that I felt awkward being alone in his home.

I walked through darkness with only the small lamp light and raided his book shelf quietly.

Nerves came back every few minutes, who and why did a man break into my home for a second time and sleep in my bed. I sat on the couch reading but my mind started to get sadder and sadder.

Itsuki.

I wiped a fearful tear away and put myself back into the decent love story but the fact it was a romance my mind would keep going back to Itsuki. I try not to think of his family much. It hurts.

I never wanted a cuddle so much in my life, looking around his dark home with the book on my lap did make me lightly smile. He cares, even if it is just a bit.

I woke up alone in his home, I locked it behind me after I tidied up. Stepping into my place was a little eerie. I looked around nervously and checked the window locks.

I rubbed my arms a little scared before I got a hold of my anxiety.

But I am a Jonin, come on.

I can take people down with a thought. I got power and I am afraid?

Bitch don't mess with me.

I felt strong and serious. I moved to get ready for the day as I need to go train some more, get a coffee and maybe take a short mission if I feel like it because I am strong. I am mother fucking Inokei Yamanaka bitch.

I was sweating after a pretty decent match. Wiping the blood and sweat off my forehead as I placed my foot on his chest and pulled out my frozen blade, the area around his heart had been frozen solid and left a stone like hole.

Man was resistant to my mind but I got it. Definitely made me feel better before I take his head for the massive bounty, just a missing leaf ninja gone only a few hours and yet was on the list real fast. He made it only four hours away from the village.

I started walking home through the thick tree's, I hate these missions but I wanted something possibly short I could do alone. This man may have made it had he not hurt someone before he left the village and the bounty hit hard.

The pay for this would buy me a new kitchen.

It was a nice walk through the tree's, the smell of rain on the air hitting the higher branches and some dirt.

I still don't know what to focus on, glad I never went ANBU, it messed with Kakashi. This is what it was like on every mission, I can do it, I don't like to.

Maybe leaving for Dai saved me from that life. Why did I even want to? I looked at the covered sky.

Kakashi.

He was the reason, wasn't he?

Wow that sounds so bad.

I think he was the only reason.

Passing a lake I walked over the water and sat down letting my legs and feet dangle in the water. The shaded sun and the pretty tree's made this feel so safe and pretty. The rain lightly cascaded around me so I closed my eye's and faced the sky.

I like stealing or gathering intel. I always have. Maybe a scout position, but every mission gathering intel? Ya, you know what. Ya. Took how long to really feel like I could do it only.

Sneaking into to foreign lands.

Being on a quiet shadow team.

I felt right finally.

That is what I want.

Become a pirate again if needed.

Yes.

I grabbed my towel and was headed for the bathroom when I paused, looking on my left next to the box of jewelry on my large shelf making me step forward and laugh as I bent in close.

The picture of my mother had Guy posed with his thumb up and the one of my first team had Kakashi in it looking angry.

I was laughing in that awkward way that I made no noise. I bent over needing to pee it warmed my heart, I don't want to move it.

You know. I am gonna go buy two frames and just frame these pictures as well.

I was having a quick shower when I looked up at a large spider that was above me, I stepped back startled. "Don't you dare jump on me." I told it like it would understand me. It did not move. I bent over and grabbed some body wash when I looked up I saw another in the other corner.

Two I looked at both worried.

Looking down there was one more on the faucet. I stepped back ready to leave the shower when the one from above jumped towards me right at my face. I screamed and jumped out of the bath and half out the open bathroom door, my wet foot slid on the tile but I caught myself.

My door then busted right open. It was in the same second but it felt so slow as Kakashi came busting in shirtless in just pants and that stupid mask that I never knew was like a dickey under his clothes.

I screamed again and ran into the bathroom grabbing my towel.

"Why did you scream?" His voice was deep and sounded off.

I spotted two more in the room around the corners and I ran back out covered mostly. "There is spider's everywhere." I stepped back as one more was on my door. "Everywhere."

Both his eye's were out at the moment as he did not have his cover on and they looked startled and worried then I watched them get dark and scary, he walked passed me shoving me behind him and looked inside.

His hair looks cool all free like that.

I never knew how much a man's back could be so hot. A small scar along the back made me want to run my finger along it. Damn, I never seen him this naked before. I was distracted by it for a split second when he moved and was out my living room window so fast yelling at me to get dressed.

I then noticed I was naked in just a towel. He saw me naked. That thought line stopped when I noticed I needed to follow him.

I slid on my clothes as fast as I could with weapons and all the shit and moved to find him. I found him around the corner in a small alleyway near our apartment. He stood towering over the large Aburame on the ground who looked up at him scared.

It was him?

Oh that is so creepy.

He controls spiders?

"Oh damn." I whispered for a few reasons.

One: Kakashi was hot. Two: This was creepy and three: What the fuck is wrong with this man that is like forty. My mind ran over every encounter and my blood went cold. I started this. It was my fault.

I hit on him in a joking manor.

It was my fault.

I looked worried and stepped next to Kakashi my wet hair dripping down my back.

"He is not the one you should fear." I spoke down to him and he glared at me. "I can destroy your mind in a second." His eye's darkened in a way that sickened me in my gut. "Back off or I will come after you. You break in one more time." I looked at Kakashi asking if this was the man smell with my eye's and he nodded back. "I will find you." I stood up straight and took a step back. "I see one more spider and I am burning down your home." And I walked off.

Kakashi followed me back into the building and I sat on my couch as he stood around like he needed to say something to me. "I know, it is my fault." I quietly spoke.

"No." He still seemed like he needed to say something but my eye's scanned his eye scar and then down to his chest scar by accident that I always wondered about, down to the tip of his low hanging pants in a quick second. He noticed he was topless and awkwardly walked off.

"Damn." I yelled behind him to stop the tense air.

"Shut up." I heard his door slam.

"Thank's." I laughed at him knowing he could here me. "So much." I spoke a little quieter in adoration. Looking around I felt safe, he is here for me. I gripped a couch pillow into my lap and hugged it with a smile.

My heart warms for our friendship. I think seeing him ends up being the highlight of my day. And damn was the perfect word. I mean, damn!

I sipped my coffee and leaned on the wall unsure what to do today. Well I do need a bra, I will hit up that town, not been in ages get some new pretty undergarments and some less embarrassing undies, even if the sad old lady panties were just the most comfertable for a mission.

Then again, who will see them. No one.

Even the thought of someone else seeing my undergarments makes me feel like I am cheating. A romance is never on my mind anymore, who would stand up to Itsuki anyway. To me, he was perfect.

I spent the day alone shopping. A beautiful day so instead of going home I went to the nearest beach, a large lake to the south of the hidden village with a waterfall.

I went and sat under a tree and watched the group of women splashing in the water, I felt slightly alone wishing I brought someone. I heard a small chuckle, a deep creepy chuckle.

I peered around the tree and deep in the bushes was a familiar ass and the same familiar hair as his body moved in giggles. I sneaked up behind him and bent over. "Oh my what do we have here." I spoke in the most deepest and threatening voice. "Jiraiya"

He jumped and spun, I stood up straight and laughed crossing my arms. "I find you in the worst places." I smiled at him.

"Kei?" He pointed at me and I nodded then his eye's scanned me over in my suit and hearts came out of them as he brought his hands to his mouth. "My favorite stalker."

"My favorite writer."

"Oh you know, I am just gifted."

I peeked over the bushes where they still played. "I doubt you have to hide."

"No I do, they tend to run."

"Creepy."

"Hey now." He spoke looking down at me with a smile, a small glint in his eye. "What would make you fall for a man." He pulled out a page of paper and looked at me.

"Not hiding in the bushes." I spoke with a smile and crossed my arms. "I don't know." I looked at the girls walking away from the water and nodded at them. He peaked and panicked before he followed screaming. "Hey girls don't leave."

I laughed and headed home feeling I got enough sun and water. I had a good day for myself.

On the way home I grabbed some frames and placed Guy and Kakashi into the pictures placing them on my shelf so happy and sat down to watch a movie. I was deep in the horror movie when there was a knock on my door and I actually jumped.

"Coming." I yelled watching the tv carefully to go unlock my door. Kakashi was there I nodded and headed back to my couch not stopping my eye's off the tv. "What is up?"

He quietly sat down next to me and just stayed there.

"They want me to be a teacher, the next school graduation is in less then a month."

"Good for you." I then noticed what he said. "Oh damn." I looked him over. "You a teacher?" I smiled. "Then again you did teach me the best jutsu I own."

"Good point." He seemed worried. "How would I ever?" He stopped talking and shook his head.

"I got no advice." I leaned back looking at him. "Sorry." Is he talking for once? I shifted closer to him and turned to the tv my shoulder was touching his. "I would not want to be one however."

"I am almost being forced."

"Really?" I looked worried.

"He want's me to try."

"The third?"

He nodded. "Special assassination and covert operatives, to teaching loud kids?" I frowned just staring at his masked face. "Will you run away with me?" He looked my way. "With you and me we will never be caught."

"Sound nice, go live in the mountains and kill our own meat."

"Make money by bounty's." He spoke.

"Oh we would be the best bounty hunter's." He leaned back looking up. "Ah but I think you need to try." I wanted to be on his side but teaching kids is the complete opposite and might be good for him. Keeping something alive then killing it.

"Ya well, I wont be easy." He spoke darkly. There was a jump scare in the movie and we got pulled in.

"Be so damn hard." I mumbled quietly not noticing what I said as I reached out for my bowl of chips, pulling it to me and placing it between us. We sat there quietly watching the movie sometimes his leg would move like he was nervous but he was about to have a life change so I don't blame him.

For him to be nervous about kids is slightly funny, guy is not afraid of anything.

I giggled as I walked up the stairs to my place, I found Kakashi a satire book on teaching on my last three day mission. He is going to love it, it was pretty late in the night so maybe tomorrow. I unlocked my door distracted in my head when I paused and my heart dropped in fear.

The only light in my home came from the kitchen so the living room was slightly dark but I could see a few spiders around, one between me and my couch. I ran into my bedroom kunai in hand ready to slice a bitch. My room was ransacked with clothes, all bed side lamps on and my bed was a bit of a mess making me sick to my stomach.

I peeked in the bathroom and then back into the living room.

My books on my shelf were all over the living room floor when I noticed my special box. The only damn thing I care about. My heart got cold as I walked up to the torn pictures of Kakashi and all my notes from Itsuki destroyed on the floor.

I dropped to my knees and my eye's started to leak, I picked some up trying to put them back together. I could not place them all and my crying started to make noise. Fear and sadness turned to so much rage and I made some primal angry noise as I stood.

I was seeing red when I saw the man behind me, Kakashi standing in the light from the dark hallway, I probably looked as scary.

"He is dead." I spoke with so much anger.

I jumped out my living room window and hit the roof next to me and started to run. Three roofs in I paused not knowing where this man was, lived or even his first fucking name.

Aburame.

I spun and looked in the direction of that clan.

Kakashi was next to me grabbing my shoulder. "Don't stop me." I spoke looking at him. He nodded and just pointed me in the other direction.

"Let's go bitch." I said and ran in that direction before he took the lead.
