The air was hot and humid today as I strolled through town with my protector over my eyes, I watched the chakra of everyone around me with as I slid my hand into my pocket. Some people almost seemed familiar and I yet I don't know them personally. I had just left a taijutsu fight with Kuro where I only used my sense, I can tell what limb he was going to use, I just have issues at where it is going to hit me.

Just to try, I decided to go blind for a while.

I could smell the weapon store as I passed it, seeing someone walk out making me know where the door was and slowly walked in. I know the layout pretty well in here but I still shuffled slowly trying to sense stuff with my feet, when I came close to a display I stopped and head a different direction.

Like I always do I pulled off my weapon pack and told him I need new weapons as I walked up to him.

He took it from my hands, I give him my old ones for him to fix back up and he refills mine with fresh and sharp weapons.

Watching his chakra so clearly it was as rough as his voice but also so pretty with a small protectiveness. I pulled out the cash I put in my bra so I knew how much I was giving him, we traded and I went to put my holster back on. "Thanks."

He came back around and paused next to me making me look up from attaching my bag, curious. He lightly grabbed my hand so kindly and put the cash in my hand, I flipped it back into his palm. "Keep the change for your service." I smiled as he made the famous 'hmm' everyone here does. I really like this old man, I said my goodbyes and headed out of the place slowly.

Using my hand on that wall to find the door, my shoulder hit the door frame making me giggle at my failure and I stumbled before getting back onto the road.

Hayashi was headed my way making me pause and wait, he moved next to me laughing at me. It has been so long since I heard his laugh I just smiled at him. I was assuming he understands what i'm doing so I said nothing when suddenly he stopped and stood there silently, turning my head up to where his would be, my brows furrowed in confusion.

"At first I thought you looked stupid but the more I look, you kind of look badass like that." I smirked my heart filling up with the backhanded compliment. We just strolled and talked when he turned down a path no one was on but I was trusting him so I continued to walk when I face planted on a fence. He started to laugh. "I wondered if I could do that." I think I could see him bent over as I smiled down at him, hearing him laugh so much was nice.

We grabbed some dongo and meat on stick to eat while we walked, he told me about his girl and how much he likes her, what was new and exciting in his sealing training and his missions lately, he said he is still technically a genin but is being sent on higher missions. During that time he made me walk into two more places, I found it funny and laughed with him but I had enough and pulled my protector down and let it hang around my neck.

We found ourselves at the top of cliff, sitting over the thirds face and just enjoyed the air blowing our hair around. "So much cooler up here." He Agreed.

We sat in comfortable silence for a while, just enjoying the view and the wind.

"You have not let me in on anything about your world in so long, how is it going?"

Sadness in my face as I looked out straight. "Good."

"Really nothing interesting?" I just shook my head as we looked out over the village. "I know your lying." He sounded almost hurt, pulling my legs up.

"You run every time I mention something and I want you to stay."

He seems to understand. "I can't stand not understanding something." He spoke awkwardly. "That reason made me work so hard at reading people." I looked over at him, so he knows I'm listening. "And I don't understand your world, how you got here or the things that seem to be happening." He got so quiet but my face lit up.

He saw my smile and again knew what I was thinking.

He patted my head and messed up my hair at my smile, so glad he does not hate me.

I spun sideways and crossed my legs as I faced him. "Well, if you want to know I can fill you in." He nodded with his pretty smile.


The air was even more muggy in the forest, I was starting to sweat but I enjoyed the run. We were pulled out of just walking around the village and sent on a simple mission to deliver a package to a small town a few hours run away.

"I wonder what we are delivering." I mumbled as we ran side by side.

"No idea."

"Not even a guess?" He made a noise as what I assume he was thinking. "I think it is a box of tiny little hats." I spoke with humor and I made a 'small' sign with my fingers.

He cocked his head before a smile crossed his face. "That is... quite a guess." He made a noise. "Alright, it is full of.. mice?"

I gave a small entertained sound. "I hope not, there is no holes."

He laughed. "how about it is a set for Shogi."

"There we go!"

Making our way up the only road to this lollipop shaped town snuggled in the forest. Walking in it almost seemed like a place that is famous for gambling. I enjoyed looking around, I saw one of the people who shuffle around cups with a rock and a few people playing shogi in what seems like a serious game.

They also had a busy male targeted restaurant.

The happiness in this place was contagious as the loud voices and laughs filled the air, we found the important looking home, It had paper walls and a nice pathway with a very small stream passing in front of it. Knocking on it a older man with kind lines on his face opened the door, he carried himself like he was someone you don't want to mess with. Peering inside it was a pretty empty room with three people on there knees sitting and waiting for him to come back.

We gave him the package, the look on his face was slightly shocked and happy. "Tell Tsunade I said hello and thanks." We nodded professionally and left, mission over.

We walked fast with his long legs. "I guess it is something more personal then tiny hats." Hayashi smiled down at me.

I laughed. "Ya."

He seemed excited when he spotted a small place to eat. "They have something here you can't get in the leaf, you will love it." It was such a small red building with a door that filled the whole wall snuggled between two bigger places like they closed off an alleyway and turned it into a shop. There was barely any room for us let alone tables.

He ordered something for the both of us and asked about some new drink they seemed to have.

As we waited I had that feeling again, I slid closer to the Hayashi and whispered that I think someone was watching us as I looked around with my sense. He casually looked around with bored eyes but both of us saw nothing strange. We waited for about five minutes and the feeling kind of faded when they gave us our strange food, it was almost like a wrap and yet nothing like it.

I took my first bite making me pause and almost moan, I looked down on it with love, he laughed. "Right?" He patted my head as we slowly walked away and ate while moving, also keeping an eye out for any kind of ninja.

He popped open the ugly swamp green drink and took a big sip, he made a noise making me look at him as he spit it out to the side with a disgusted look crossed his face. "This tastes like ass, try it." He handed it to me.

"No thanks I don't like drinking ass." I laughed inside as he tried to get it out of his mouth by eating more of his food.

Curiosity getting the better of me, I shook my hand towards it. "Let me try." I sipped it and took everything to get it down. "Ya that's ass."

"Can't believe you swallowed that." Tossing the ass drink into a garbage can nearby.

I laughed holding back a bad joke when he gave me a meaningful look. "Not since then." I mumbled as I stuffed food in my mouth.

The feeling has not come back.

Hayashi pulled me over to the guy with the cup game, he wanted to try, I told him they always cheat. "I got this." With his perceptive skills I am sure he has a better chance then me. He won the first game and then bet more making him loose, the famous hustle. He gave me a sad look as we walked away I just patted him on the shoulder.

We had a lot of fun here and hung around for maybe over an hour when we were going to head home, following the path out we made it the wall. He paused giving me a funny look. "I will be right back." He ran off, I saw him head down the road quickly assuming he needs the bathroom.

I walked over and leaned on a nearby building to wait as I slowly drank something decent this time.

"Hey little leaf ninja." A creepy voice spoke to me. Looking in the direction I heard the voice as someone started to literally come out of the stone wall. I just looked blankly with a need to get my sense stronger as I did not know he was there.

"Hello, rocky, what's up?" His form came into view, his spiky black hair was everywhere and his eyes were cold, I watched as his mouth turn up into a disturbing smile.

I did notice he did not have a Hitai-ate but he was obviously a ninja, I sipped on my straw curious as to what he want's.

I worried a little so I was making sure my face was blank. "What brings you out of your wall today?" I gave him the famous Kakashi fake smile.

He stepped towards me and looked at me with threatening amusement, I know he is not after anything I have on me.

"A bounty." I could tell he was not lying but the way he said it almost sent shivers down my spine, trying so hard for that to not be known.

"And who might that be?" He gave a little delight at my crappy interrogation.

He stepped forward again making me feel like he is not staying friendly for much longer. "Someone you might know." Me? fake it.

This time I gave a small glare.

"He was supposed to pass by here the last few days but the only leaf I have seen so far is you." Not me? good. "And I am tired of waiting." I could suddenly feel his whole demeanor change, he got real blood thirsty. Sending fear throughout me I just leaned on the wall, trying to look calm was getting harder, I was ready for him to attack.

Hayashi, where are you!

"Are you sure, I mean that wall looked cozy." This time his creepy smile showed more teeth, he was trying to intimidate me with his dark intent but doing so made his chakra slightly detectable.

He came at me so fast as I jumped onto the roof above me, water covering my arm all I could do was avoid his attacks as we moved around the roofs, trying to keep everyone else out of it I jumped onto the wall and he followed. I made two clones on the ground behind the wall, as he followed me. I had one throw the other clone far in to the sky and traded places with it just as he went to hit me.

I tossed eight Kunai from the air as I fell making him slide back into the wall as they hit the rock.

Dumbass get him away from rock.

The second my toes touched the wall he tried to reach out and grab my ankle, shoving chakra into them I flipped backwards into the forest with a hope he can't get into wood. He came out of his safe area and chased me in, throwing down some smoke bombs made him completely disappear as his intent faded, worrying me in a panic I ran up into the trees out of the smoke and just continued to go higher and move around until I spotted him with my eyes.

Not feeling chakra always makes me feel incomplete, he came at me from the ground on my right, I pulled out my whip and I smacked him right in the face making him change direction and fall back down, shoving chakra in my feet I followed after him, landing behind him I went to whip his ankle but his body turned to stone when it hit him making it crumble to the ground.

A clone.

The words underground passed in my head as I got back into the trees, a feeling in my heart I need to stay off the ground.

I moved around as I thought and put down some random genjutsu clones just in case.

How do I get him from there? I might need to draw him out.

I stopped and tried to focus as hard as I could, I could see his small intent moving under the ground like a mole, waiting for my feet to hit the ground. I quickly made a few wire traps around in the trees and tossed down my spikes all over.

Jumping down I covered my feet and ankles with my water and made them spike, it was so easy on both like water walking.

The split second I landed his arm came out of the earth grabbing into my water, cutting his hand to pieces as I used my whip to wrap around his wrist, jumping up and pushing chakra in both my feet and arms, I pulled hard and made him fly out of the earth.

As he flew up beside me I kicked him in the side and he went flying, my water cutting into him but he easily corrected himself to land on his feet.

I could feel his blood lust again as we fell.

Shuriken came at me and I blocked them all mid air with my own, pulling water onto my arm from my feet when we both landed on the ground.

Lucky to me he landed directly on some spikes as I whipped his feet to slow him down, that made him angry.

He was to me in a second and got in close to punch me when I used my water to block, understanding he pulled his punch and slid behind me, I tried to roll away but he grabbed my hair and pulled me backwards to the ground and dragged me a little. I adjusted my feet correctly and flipped over his head using my water to cut into his wrist to release me. I watched as I cut him blood poring out, startling me as rock moved around it and stopped the bleeding.

I noticed his right hand was also covered in stone as he came to punch me again, making me spin on my heals duck down and rammed him from below. My water started to enter his body when again stone came and blocked it so I jumped backwards far away.

I was ready for the next round when I felt two strange strong chakras head my way, they were on us in a second.

We both looked up at them standing in the trees. "You can't take one Ninja, how useless are you?" A girl spoke up, as I stood ready as the three of them surrounded me. "If you can't take this weakling, how will you take on the copy ninja, useless."

"I did not want to kill her yet is all." His creepy voice filled with defensive anger.

The copy nin? is that not Kakashi?

This time my emotions flashed before I caught them but they all noticed.

"You may have found a correct victim." The third man said, making my eyes land on this fine ass specimen. His short pink hair was only the start as he wore a jacket and no shirt as he stood there with attitude, he would be your typical hot bad boy and that voice was so smooth my panties could drop. "You know where we can find your, what do you guys call it, comrade." His voice was so seductive.

I understood that these guys are not teammates or even friends by the way they moved. He walked forward and stepped on my trap, we all noticed the second he did and jumped away, using the distraction I ran to find Hayashi.

The sexy fucker was on me so fast as I felt a sharp pain in my back like a kunai, I got so scared when my legs stopped moving and fell onto the ground. "I think she was going to find her friend." As they landed behind us.

"Friend huh, we should take her somewhere, we don't need friends." The hot guy spoke.

I tried to move but I could barely move at all, he put me on his shoulder my face in the middle of his back, I tried to pull water around my arm but it was hard and barely moved as even my chakra had an issue, he noticed what I was doing and slammed me into the ground so hard I left a dent.

He glared at me before his hand landed on me and I could not move at all this time.

He picked me back up and we ran fast for about five minutes and he brought me into a cave. The girl tied me up making mr fine ass say that I can't move at all and it was pointless with so much annoyance in his voice.

I listened as they talked and they sent the creepy rock dude back to his post for Kakashi, I found out they are bounty hunters and I was right, confusing me at my correct assumption. They only grouped together as he has such a big bounty on his head.

The girl walked over all cocky cracking her fingers. "Get ready to tell me everything." She laughed as the pink man watched. She bent down and put her hand on my head, the shocked pain went through my body and my chakra lit on fire like before.

Luckily she was weaker then the blondes and Kakashi and I could keep my screams inside as well as not pass out.

These guys have perfect skills for their line of work.

She then got so angry at me. "How did you do that?" She started to kick me in the stomach over and over as I shut my eyes in pain and a small noise escaped me.

He calmly walked towards me and shoved her aside making her yell at him, when he looked her in the eyes and she shut up in fear, curious as to what the look was like. Then he started on me like a professional, he hit, cut, stabbed and punched me around while making sure I was weak enough to not move at all. All I could do was try and not cry in pain.

"Tell me where is he, you are the first leaf here in day's." He spoke calmly.

"Ya we know he was with you." The girl yelled out behind him, I watched as his face showed so much anger and annoyance at the loud girl. When he noticed I saw that he gave me a smirk before he took it out on me and hit me in the eye a couple times by the end I could not see out of my right eye from being swollen.

He sent more of whatever he does to me to make me limp and I blacked out.

I was choking on something as I tried to breath and came into consciousness a cold feeling over me. "Wake up." The girl yelled, I was able to breath after a second and noticed it was cold water that was pored over me.

A sharp pain in my arm as I tried to see what it was but I could barely look out my only eye, so I just kept it shut.

Their charka's were blurring together, I was loosing even that sense to see clearly.

I felt a smack to my face as the girl yelled out again. "Tell me where he is." I could see the annoyance flare up in someone in front of me, he hates her.

Even in all this pain I was happy, so happy she could not extract information from my mind, that the only information from me they will get is what comes out of my mouth.

And even shocking to me, I did not say a word.

A second pain in my leg before I was kicked so hard I went flying to the side. "What is his weakness?" They pulled me up and I could see blood where my face used to be.

Time moved my slowly so I was unsure how long I have been here for.

I was almost delirious in pain as they kicked me around some more. "Come on, you know how much money he is, you will help us." The girl screamed. Watching the chakra just got worse, they were almost the same person.

I recognized the pain as they burned my wrist, knowing that feeling this painful means it will scar but hurt less in the future, If I even have a future, I am dead aren't I?

I wont make it out of here alive.

I felt done, I wanted to just go black, let it end.

My head was dizzy from pain. "Where is he?" The bitch yelled so loudly, she held me up by my hair.

"Okay." I mumbled as they waited for my words, I tried to make the pause last.

"I saw him." They waited for me to speak, it got so quiet.

"He was fucking your mom!"

One of them got so angry they kicked me square in chest as I flew backwards and hit the wall with my head. The same second I hit the wall I saw a flash, something familiar, all I know is it brought peace into my heart as the sounds of birds filled the cave. Sounds of fighting came from every direction, I understood and tried to stay awake.

I felt something in front of my face as I opened my only eye.

Next to me on the ground was the small pup I love. "Pakky." I mumbled.

"Pakky, I find that offensive." The dog spoke in a deep voice as the loud sounds filled the cave.

It was suddenly so quiet as I felt someone try to move me kindly. "There is a third who hides in stone." I spoke to whoever was around me. They tried to make me sit up but my body was to limp due to the pink guy. Then I felt better as a flash of green passed in my head, my mind started to clear as I noticed who was here. I was able to look around Hayashi was leaning on a wall with sadness in his eyes.

My head was on the lap of a male med nin as he started to run over some bad spots. "They somehow knew you were passing." I mumbled as my body tingled telling me my limbs will be able to move soon. "They are bounty hunters for your head, kasha, kashshi". I could not say his name properly.

I could feel the sudden tenseness that filled the air.

"They were after me?" He squatted down next to me, his one eye focused on mine, I tried to nod but I had issues, making me smile at my failure and then grimacing at my head.

"They were waiting for you but you were taking to long to come so they took me for information, thinking I was part of your team." Every one was silent.

Not one person said a word, as I started to feel my limbs can move, with this healer I started to feel so much better.

"Thanks for saving me again." I rolled onto all fours. "I guess it's good this time your always late." Or I might be dead, I joked, I heard a couple chuckles. I could not stand so I just sat there, looking at Hayashi, the look on his face broke my heart. Even if he was with me when all three were around, I think we would still be in this cave without the team of jonin.

"Stop moving." The man berated me as he came to heal me some more.

When the other two of his team came back, I guess they went to find the rock guy and they nodded at Kakashi telling me they found him. I was lucky that Hayashi was not with me because when I was missing he found the fight zone, he was lost, not long after this team was running by like the bounty hunters said, Pakkun found me.

"We can't go back yet as we are still mid mission but you can get her back to the village safely now." The med nin said, guess I wont die on the way there.

They helped me get on his back as I could not stand, putting his scroll on my back.

I saw Kakashi's eye as we left the area, a feeling in my heart that he finally trusts me.

My heart was filled at these people and the fact I am okay and saved. We parted ways and Hayashi ran us back, his grace was amazing as he did not shake me around even a little.

My thankfulness faded, I have people that have my back and I love that but I hate that they keep saving me, how useless I feel, I am just a burden.

"Hayashi." I mumbled. "I am so sick of getting hurt."

"I am sorry I left you." He spoke quietly.

"It is my fault, never yours, you saved me." I turned my head as I looked around, getting his hair out of my face, looking around with my head on his shoulder, flying through the trees. "Thank you." I mumbled again.


I thought I was getting better, I tried so hard but I am sick of being in this hospital and not able to fucking walk, Again! Sitting in my now designated fucking bed. I stood up in pain as he had stabbed my legs so many times but my anger helped me move.

How many times have I been saved, no matter what I do spending my days training and fighting and I am still useless.

I was passing the second bed when a thought hit me and I suddenly understood, why that kid I chased and why that Sasuke ran to off to that guy, I finally see how someone would join that fuck just to get stronger. Making me sit back down on the second bed and breath passed the anger as I thought about it. I would rather suck then join him, but understanding is something else.

What can I fucking do? I wont be lucky forever.

I felt him come my way before standing in my doorway. "I know that look." Looking up I changed my face and looked up at the pretty Hayashi, he looked worried.

"Don't worry I would not do something stupid." He slowly walked over. "I just don't know what to do, I try so hard." I whispered the came and sat next to me, a hand on my head as he messed up my hair.

"Give it time." I looked at him. "You are new, and you are getting better but patience is needed."

"I can't win one fight."

"That is why we have teams." I looked at him, he was right and I have him, I pulled him into a short hug as I did not want to linger, he smiled at me when I let go.

"I think you need a real teacher, you have been getting pieces by others but no one to really train you correctly." That made me think, people do help me but he has a point, I don't have a real one. "What do you want to learn and don't say everything, think about it and you might be able to find the perfect teacher."

I laid back in the bed. "Hmm."

"It took me a long time to find how much I love sealing, but once I found out it was what I wanted I found a teacher."

"Ya and you rule at it." I smiled at him.

"It took time, I am from a loving but civilian family, it took me years like you without some kind of natural family skill, a kekkei genkai, your just starting your path."

Sitting back up I looked at him. "My Yoda you are." He looked at me confused, I patted his arm. "You helped me by sharing your wisdom is what I meant." I was gonna stand up but my anger passed and I was feeling the pain again. "Thanks bro." I gave him a light kiss on the cheek, startling him for only a second.

"Bro." He smiled so big. "I like that."


Sitting in a tree near my favorite pond soaked to the bone, trying to use the leaves for a chakra refinement and control technique Hayashi showed me, my body was still sore even if I was pretty healed.

I still don't know what I want, I blame being a girl for that.

Focusing on my leaves, I kicked my leg up and leaned on the trunk.

Sealing is interesting but I can feel it is not for me, same with a medic, very useful but again in my heart it is not for me, even if I loved being a healer in every game I played, in reality I don't think I have the stomach for it.

Gen, tai, and ninjutsu all interest me more.

I felt a strong chakra head my way making me look his way, wondering if it was for me but this persons chakra was someone I don't know but a feeling was almost familiar making me think I must pass by him a lot or something.

I watched as this semi hot looking guy near his thirty's with nice black hair in a ponytail, was suddenly in his boxers as he ditched his jonin outfit so fast and ran into the lake in his boxers before splashing in like I do.

I was so startled that he was almost naked, I could not look away like a creep.

For a second I forgot people can't see my chakra when I wanted to hide it. I scolded myself and was about to leave when he pulled himself out of the water in the middle and stood on top, one hand messing with his hair.

My eyes went from his chest, down his perfect wet body, his wet boxers hung low and against him making me get a good look at my favorite part on a guy, the sexy v they have. I could not pull my eyes away from this banging body, he tugged on his hair the water fell from it and down his chest as my eyes followed it again until it landed on his boxers, making me lean forward on the branch for a better look.

I swear I had porno music going on in the background.

"The guys in this world man."

I felt a small wetness under my nose, I wiped it away and noticed it was blood. "The fuck." I wiped it away again but there was not a lot. I never get nose bleeds.

Then it hit me, I am being a thirsty bitch and that was why. "This place!" I wiped it away.

Looking around I was glad my first nose bleed was in private, making sure it was all off my face, I jumped and ran quickly away, pushing past my pain to get out of there fast in embarrassment.

I suddenly felt like a guy, as if in the wrong spot everyone can see where my mind was.

I made my way into town a little startled, when I ran into Kuro and Kiyo.

"You got some blood on you lip." He spoke to me while quietly asking if I got in a fight with his eyes.

I just laughed awkwardly and wiped it off. "Thanks." They both looked at me funny, as I felt so embarrassed, please don't detect this.

They already knew what happened on my last mission, I guess making me even more suspicious to be bleeding, I just gave the weirdest giggle and ran off, spinning back with a wave. "Gotta go." And turned back to run away.

When I finally stopped running from myself I stood in the shopping district to breath as not one person I knew was nearby. I looked around and saw people were setting up stuff again, another festival?

Some friendly kinouchi saw my confusion and told me it is an annual thing to celebrate something to do with the moon, I think that was what she babbled on about. It will happen in three days and dressing up is encouraged, she seemed overly happy for that but they don't have many places to get dressed up for. I gave her a friendly smile and thanked her for telling me.


I sat in my window as the sun set, I could hear the festivities from here, the sound of music and joy was brought over on the wind. I was not caring to much about it but with nothing to do I decided to go check it out but I'm not getting dressed up, my ninja getup is fine.

Jumping from my window I hit roofs.

Looking out over the area was so pretty, I forgot about the paper lanterns they use for this stuff, the smell of good food wafted in my noise making me remember that festival only snack I had with Iruka.

This one seemed even more packed, ninjas and civilians all dressed the same without any protectors. I just looked around, seeing the couples enjoy themselves made me smile.

"Lets find that food hmm." I rubbed my stomach as I jumped off the roof, wading through the people was hard as a few times I had to stand and wait for someone to move. Sadly some of these people needed a shower as I strolled with one hand in my pocket.

Passing my favorite game, I got all the balls in the hoop as I picked out a prize, I got a thick leather bracelet as I don't use keys, they need better prizes. I stuck it to my wrist as I left.

I had some short friendly chats with some people I know, I know so many more this time around.

I was distracted and found myself near the edge of the festival, spinning I saw Kiyo walk over, his hands behind his head and his adorable smile. "Hey there." He was so confident, I smiled back as I paused to chat.

When his eyes kept landing on my chest I felt nervous about being in a darker area with no one really around. The way he started to look at me gave me a need to flee. "So do you know where that really sticky food is, that they only bring out at these things." I tried to shuffle passed him.

I know he may be a dick but he would not hurt me I am sure, It was just the way he was looking at me made me feel like he might try and kiss me again and I don't want that.

"Wait." He called out as I spun around.

"Hmm?" He looked me over and stepped towards me, I slowly backed up. We did the slow dance for a second until my back hit a wall, I know he could see how uncomfortable I was if he even looked at my face, I was never good at this, I avoided stuff like this, I run.

Suddenly Kakashi was here, standing slightly in the middle but to the side with his back to me, he was in a position he could slide in between us easy. His fake eye smile. "What are you two up too?" I could feel just a tiny bit of intimidation wafting off him. Kiyo looked shocked that he was suddenly there, he backed up gave me his half flirty wink and walked away.

We watched him go, I smiled at him. "Thanks."

"For what?" I watched as he walked away and disappeared into the crowds.

"Hmm."

After a pause I headed the way they went and continued on my search for that food.

I found it as I tried to eat it while looking at the small band they have here in the center of the area, again they don't sing but the songs were still great making me sway a little.

"Making a mess?" I giggled as Iruka passed by, he was in a robe outfit again.

"Always." We faced the band. I checked him out. "You look nice."

He smiled with a hand behind his head. "Thanks, Not wanted to get dressed?"

I licked my finger. "Naw to much work." Looking him over. "Here we are in the same place as last time." I laughed at him.

"Oh ya." He tilted his head. "I would ask you to dance again but your slightly sticky."

"Ah I might step on you again anyway." We shared a smile.

Hanging out with him at a thing like this was so fun, he can be serious but when he is funny, he is really funny. Some kids came bustling by out of nowhere, he slid away easy but when I tried to move so fast it sent a shock wave down my legs making me stumble as he held me up I almost stepped on his foot again.

We locked eyes in shock for a second before I started to laugh. "Almost."

He actually laughed loudly, his hand behind his head. "Almost!"

I parted ways with him when he ran into Naruto and I wanted a second sticky thing. I did notice Kuro was not here again when I ran into Hayashi and the same guys he was with last time and his girl, they did not give me the look but I moved on quickly anyway.

She locked eyes with me, a small amount of apologies and fear in them, I gave her a smile that reached mine as I moved away, telling her its fine.

My favorite moment was when I ran into Anko who was drunk again, she gave me a big hug. "Bitch your hurt."

"I am fine." She was just passing by as there was some hottie down the road she needs to catch. She smacked my ass on the way passed me, making me smirk and go find some more food.

I was done after I got full, I slowly walked towards home looking at the stars as they were harder to see in all this light. I felt Kiyo head my way again, I would have run but I was still in a light area surrounded by people, even if it was sparingly.

Spinning toward him, his smile is so pretty, he looked around the area as he walked over to me. "So." He had confidence that I would say yes. "You want to come back to my place?"

"No thanks." I went to walk passed him again.

"Oh come on I know you like me, everyone does."

Everyone does? He must have girls always coming after him, I can see that.

I have to do this right.

"I think your cool, but not like that." I went to turn again.

"What, please, your lying." He whined in disbelief.

He stepped in closer this time I held my stance, be a bitch. "We kissed and yes that was nice but it meant nothing and I don't plan on that happening again."

He got angry and yelled about I was head over heels for him, he told me how no one turns him down and I must have hurt my head in my last fight, I just stood there with a blank face as I listened to his angry rant.

He waved his hand at me and walked away angry. "Not worth it anyway."

I smiled. "Bullet dodged."

"Ya." A sexy voice drolled, making me jump five feet and spin in the air sending pain through my body.

"Fuck me." I yelled in shock, Kakashi was standing behind me slightly bent over, his hands in his pockets as he hid his chakra. "Fucking ninjas."

I caught my breath as he stood up straight. "He is charming ain't he?" His calm attitude was comforting. He watched him with his eye and did not look at me.

I just started to laugh lightly a big smile on my face as I looked in the direction he went. "Ya a real catch, I will miss that opportunity." Dropping my hand from my heart.

He looked down on me and gave me a smile that was not fake before he turned and walked away, I watched him again. "Don't worry I wont fuck his mother." He joked before he jumped away.

I could not drop the smile on my face, filled with happiness as I continued on my way home, it started to get darker and empty around me.

Thinking of Kakashi, I had not seen him anywhere until Kiyo was near me.

Was he protecting me from Kiyo?

I looked towards the festival, I think he was.


I smiled at the gift Hayashi got me, it was a very tiny leaf pendent for a necklace but because I love the one I wear I decided to try and attach it to my bellybutton ring. Pulling up my shirt slightly as I took it apart and removed it from me, putting the small ball carefully on my counter.

The part that hung off the main part was gone but it still worked perfectly.

It took a minute but I was able to get it attached nicely, I jingled it around happy with it, it was not heavy and looked nice.

Kuro entered my home from the window with two bags in his hands. "Hey." I started to re attach it to myself not looking his way. He put the bags on my table and watched me, giving him a side glance he was looking at me like I was strange.

He watched as I spun the ball and then I was done as I put my shirt back down. "What is that?"

"Hayashi gave me the leaf and I wanted to wear it down here."

"Okay, but what is it?" I looked up at him like he was crazy.

"A piercing."

"Like ears?" He lifted my shirt a little and looked at it.

"Ya is that really that strange?" He nodded as he flicked my leaf around.

"It is nice there hmm, I like it." I mumbled.

He seemed to agree. "It is cool."

"Ya I have had it so long, when I see people without one it looks strange to me."

"Well you know how I feel."

"What is with the bags?" I asked curiously.

"I want a pizza, I tried to make it myself but it was both burned and not cooked." He stood up straight and looked me in the eyes. "Will you make one for me?" He seemed so calm and uncaring but I could tell a no would make him sad.

Making me smile. "Anytime." as I grabbed the bags and got started, I pulled out everything pleasantly surprised he got it all.

"What else does your world pierce?" He asked as I was stretching the dough.

"Everything." He made a noise as he did not like my answer. "Ears, tongue, eyebrows, lips." I looked at him with a smirk, He's eyes were on me as he leaned on my table arms crossed. "Dicks." He made a pained face at that one. "Everything."

"Why?" I just shook my shoulders. "Your world is weird, dicks really?" I would have mentioned the rest but that startled him enough.

I smiled. "I only have my belly and my ears." It was silent. "I don't have any earrings though but I have two holes on the lobe and at the top of both ears."

He walked over and pulled on my ear to look. "Hey." I said as he pulled kind of hard.

"Weird." He said so quiet I almost could not hear if he was not right at my ear. He let go when I needed to precook the dough, I put it in the oven and started on mixing together the sauce.

"You need some earrings."

I smiled at him. "Ya, if you know where to get some let me know."

He grabbed the cheese and started to grate it next to me, I gave him a thankful smile for the help. Pulling out the pizza we put the toppings on as we both shoved cheese in our mouth. He put it in the oven as I shuffled to my bathroom quickly needing to pee.

I felt Iruka come by and then he was in my kitchen with Kuro as I sat on my throne. Washing my hands I wondered out with a question on my face, they were just chatting.

He smiled at me with a hand behind his head. "I was looking for you, can you..."

"Men in her world pierce there dicks." Kuro spoke and cut him off.

I found that strange as we all just went silent, Iruka looked at me like I offended him. "Why?"

"She wont tell me."

"But why?" I just laughed.

"Tattoos and piercings, most don't have a reason and not everyone does it by the way." I moved closer to the others to clean up a little as I don't have much counter space.

"Why would you tell me that?" Iruka still looked freaked out.

"He asked." I nodded at Kuro with a smirk. "Blame him." I looked at Iruka. "What were you about to say?"

He looked at us and the oven. "I was going to ask for a favor but you're busy."

"I am sure I can help."

He still seemed shaken. "Naw, I have someone else to ask but thanks." He walked to my door and opened it, he was half out when he looked back at me. "Why?" He shook his head and closed my door.

"He used my door." I spoke startled.

"Ya that was strange."

"I forgot I had one."
