Heading over the roofs to my home when I passed Kakashi's chakra making me pause. So this is where he lives? I looked down at the roof and around, it was in a nice area.

I was about to continue when something was pulling on me, I closed my eyes and looked at him. I could see his chakra was wild and crazy. He was alone inside but something was really wrong. Unsure I just stared down at him with my eye's closed.

I peered over the roof finding a window, I swung down and landed on his windowsill. He was bent over the kitchen counter with his back to me. I recognized it as a panic attack as it covered my skin.

It was wild making me shake slightly, my feet hit the ground and I was unsure if he knew I was there when he flashed his chakra with a ton of threat trying to make me leave but all it did was make me see the agony he was in.

I paused for only a second, he might not like me much but I can't leave him like this.

Pulling myself together and making sure my face showed no fear I slowly moved towards him as I did not want to startle him crossing his small kitchen and moving around the dark brown wooden table.

I hesitated but I put my hand on his shoulder lightly, when he did not lash out at me I kindly spun him around. Pushing lightly into his vest less chest to let him lean on his counter. I could see his body filling out this shirt and damn it was nice, I ignored that and put my hands on his masked face.

"Look at me." I spoke calm and kindly, his eyes filled with crazy and anger as he looked more at my forehead then my face.

"Breath in slowly." He looked away as he listened. "Now out." I watched his chest deflate.

"Again slowly in." I saw his chest deflate. "Keep breathing slowly." He was still listening. "I have a trick." His eye finally landed on mine, the words I doubt it floated in it.

Giving a small smile. "Trust me, just try okay." He said nothing.

"Find five things you see." I watched as his scattered eye looked around the room frantically.

"Now four things you feel, with touch." He looked back down on me and closed his eye.

"Three things you hear."

I was happy I think he was listening to me as he breathed in slowly, his chakra only slightly less crazy.

"Two things you smell." He still leaned with his eyes closed.

"And one thing you taste, if you need an apple or something ill grab you one." He finally opened his eye and looked down at me, I gave him friendly smile, his chakra was only slightly better. "It only helps a little but it will ground you more to get out of your head."

"Think of something that makes you happy, something your looking forward to or something good that happened recently."

It was silent for a second.

"I myself sometimes get stuck here."

His gloved hand went for my shoulder before he hesitated and dropped it and shut his eye again.

"You are a sexy, powerful guy and you can get through this." I said as I slid my hands from his face down his chest slightly before backing up from him. He looked at me like I was being peculiar. "Complimenting people tends to help them calm down." I smiled at him. "Sorry but it is not a lie." I gave a flirty smile.

Taking a few more steps backwards as his chakra was only slightly spiky, I wont ask him what was wrong, if he wanted to talk he would start it, I just needed to help him through it.

Now make him laugh.

"All I have left is pressing my chest into you, so if you want a hug." I stuck my arms out and smiled at my half joke. "I don't mind." He looked up calmly as I flexed my hands a few times. "Hmm." I asked again with a noise.

He just closed his eyes as he leaned on the counter. Dropping my arms with a smile. "It tends to help guys." I mumbled.

He gave a small noise. "I'm sure." Making a small laugh come out of my mouth.

"That is weird huh?" He looked at me letting me know I was right.

"I am sorry." I rubbed the back of my head with an embarrassed smile. "In my world, so many people have touched, slept on or grabbed them and half the time it was not even remotely sexual." He just looked at me with a blank face but the air was still comfortable.

"I also find my eyes landing there, way to often." I spoke in thought, wanting to keep him out of his head and he seemed interested. I ran my hand through my hair. "The hokage is so hard not to look at, if she ever saw me look she would hit me so hard I would find my way back to my planet."

That made a small chuckle come out of his mouth.

Looking around his very clean apartment for the first time.

It was a much nicer place then mine and you can tell his paychecks are much higher. Just to his left there was a door into his decent sized living room. He had a few shelves filled with books and scrolls. On the other side of the arch was the fridge and an attached counter, where a small plant sat.

"Where do you buy plants for your home?" I mumbled as I walked over to it to see what it was. "I don't know what this is." I said so quietly unsure if he heard me but it was an alien looking plant to me.

"You can get some from the Yamanaka flower shop." He seemed fine that I was still hanging around.

"I only remember seeing flowers there." I mumbled as I poked the leaves, he just made a noise. "I like plants more then flowers, this guy is nice." I stood back up and looked at him. "You have such a nice home."

I looked him over, slouching on the counter hands in pockets, bored look on his face, his chakra back to his calm self. I think he is fine now making me smile inwardly to not make it awkward now unsure if I should leave, don't want to over stay my welcome.

Heading to the window, I gave him a smile before turning toward it. "Well, I will see you later." I gave a small wave as I jumped onto his windowsill. Moving to jump down I was suddenly flying backwards a weird noise coming out of my mouth, it happened so fast I was startled when I was in his arms, his head on top of mine, it took a second but I slowly wrapped my arms around him rubbing his back lightly.

Not pushing my chest into him or hugging too hard as I did not want to make him uncomfortable but the embrace only lasted a short moment and he let me go. I looked up at him with a kind smile glad he was okay, he just stared at me with a blank face sliding his hands back in his pockets, looking a little awkward.

Giving him 'i'm glad your okay' look I turned around and headed back out the window.

Kakashi was so down to earth and easy to talk to. I need to watch my dirty words with many people here like Iruka but Him, Kuro and Anko really let me be myself.

I wonder what that was all about? A strong need to get to know him better passed in my chest. I don't know how to ask these people personal stuff at home people would just tell me things with no digging, I was easy to talk to and kept secrets but here I know nothing about anyone.

The only time people seem to talk here is mid fight, so strange. Maybe I should take on Kakashi, ha I would die by a flick.

Looking at the small bush of tiny red fruit looked tasty, I was unsure but my stomach made a noise telling me to eat it. I looked around the creepy forest and saw I was alone in this area, I picked one berry off the branch and inspected it. It looked like a raspberry, so I opened my mouth and ate it.

'poof'

"Ahhh."

I was slightly dizzy for only a second and I was trapped in some giant piece of fabric. Trying I could not find my way out. "Shit what happened?" I felt Kakashi and Kuro head my way quickly at my scream, for some reason their chakra felt like they were giant.

"It is her clothes." Kuro said confused.

"Where is she?" Kakashi mumbled.

"I am here." I yelled as I tried to find my way out and they got so quiet. "Help me assholes." I just heard a small noise as I seemed to find an area with some light and my head peeked out of a small opening. I looked up at them and they down at me, all of us with the same emotion completely readable on our faces, pure shock.

I was fucking tiny.

After the shock I started to climb farther out when I noticed I was completely naked, grabbing a piece of my shirt and covering my body, looking back up at them with fear.

Kuro just stared down at me as Kakashi looked up at the sky, a small bit of red peeking out of his mask and what I think was a smile on his face.

"Ava?" Kuro bent over, his sexy voice was so incredibly loud and his face got right up to mine. "The fuck?" His breath made my hair blow around like a strong wind.

"I ate a plant." I mumbled loudly, he looked at me funny.

"You need to stop eating random shit girl."

"Ya, ya I get it okay." I sighed up at him. Kakashi started to shake slightly, making me look over at him, I think he was laughing. I watched him before he looked back at me and then squatted down next to Kuro.

His one eye was so big and filled with curiosity, he still did not speak.

"What do I do?" I yelled as my voice was just as small, looking back at Kuro.

They both stood up while not taking there eyes off me. "No idea." Kuro slowly spoke. Kakashi pulled his eye off me and went to the bush, he pointed at it and looked at me, as I nodded.

"Ya that one." And started to inspect it.

Kuro's eyes never left me before he smirked at the shirt and I watched his eyes look around before he found the small wrap I use with my weapons holster and handed it to me to properly cover myself. Ducking under my shirt I tried to wrap it around me like a dress, there was a bit to much so I had a train down the side of me.

Shuffling out of the cloth Kuro bent down and offered his hand, I easily jumped into it glad I can still use my chakra and stood mid palm. He stood up so fast it knocked me over and made me stick to his skin. "Dude not so fast." I yelled making him slow down to fast as I got a little air but I landed on my feet.

"Sorry."

He moved slower and held me at eye view, I looked over at Kakashi, who was squatted sniffing the plant. "I have never seen or heard of this before." He mumbled, before taking a few as he pulled out a clear bag that had some food in it, he dropped it onto the ground and then filled the bag with the fruit I ate.

He got up and walked back over, then they just stared at me. All see able eyes filled with joy and confusion as they looked me all over making me feel nervous and pulled on the wrap to make sure I was covered. "Your physics don't make sense." I mumbled.

Kakashi's finger was so big as it came at me and he poked me in the stomach almost knocking me over. "Hey!" He had so much joy in his eye making me smile involuntarily that he seemed that happy. He gave a sigh and collected my clothes shoving them into my scroll and then Kuro took it and put it in a pocket.

"I think we should take her back to the village." Kakashi spoke, still both could not get there eyes off me. "Hope Tsunade knows what to do." He got close in again with his big eye with a chuckle before turning away.

They started to move fast as I was in Kuro's hand but the wind was so strong I clung on as hard as I could with chakra but it was about to blown off making me make a noise. Sighing Kakashi stuck out his hand and I moved onto his gloved hand slid to his middle finger and clung on to it, the leather was nice on my legs and he held his hand perfectly without twitching and we continued on.

We went to same speed but I was much safer, it was way better then the way Kuro held me.

We were on a mission to find someone from my world, a rumor was heard. It was nothing, some dumbass spouting nonsense, more like a conspiracy theory and his small chakra was easily see able as we figured someone from my world would be like me but I checked him out with some random words and he did not understand anything I tried to say.

We wound up into a strange part of the forest. It was foggy and creepy and had a feeling like everything was more alive then normal.

Ya I am that dumb.

We were pretty far away, so we will need to spend maybe two nights in this forest before we get home, no matter how fast we go.

They found a spot for the night and I was stuck to Kakashi as he went for wood, his grace was amazing even without chakra I was not in danger of falling off. Looking at his crazy hair, curious I got up and moved making him stop, wondering if I was okay. I used my chakra and climbed up the side of his face. "What are you doing?"

Giving a crazy cackle as I climbed up his ear as he stood up straight. I snuggled into his hair. "Wow, it is soft." I yelled, I think he heard me. "I figured it was hard being the shape it was." He gave a noise and went back to finding wood. I slid down behind his headband and just got comfortable.

"Your grace is awesome, you don't knock me around at all." I messed with some hair and patted his head, he just made the noise again. It was really fun as he moved around, when he bent over it was like a roller coaster. It was not long until he grabbed enough and headed back to our spot.

Kuro had set up two big logs to sit on and an area circled in rocks for the fire. "You have a small dumb bug in your hair." Kuro mumbled making me give a silly smile. He started to cook some meat, I was so hungry as I made my way down Kakashi pausing on his shoulder. Kuro was giving me such a dumbfounded gaze. "Why?"

"That is a common word with you lately." I joked.

"Then stop doing or saying things that make me say why." He spoke with anger but a small glint of amusement in his eye.

I slid down his chest and walked onto the middle of his left leg to watch the fire, his eye was now on me that he could see me again.

"Man this is weird." They both nodded not speaking. I peered over his leg there was a centipede bigger then I was wondering by. "It is so big." I squealed but Kuro moved so fast and squished it with a body shiver, he glared around angry looking for more before he sat back down.

"Bugs." He spoke with anger and this time I agreed with him with big eyes.

Once the meat was cooked Kakashi picked one up and looked at me before he pulled off a tiny piece and gave it to me. "Thanks." I picked it from his hand with a smile, it was like a giant steak.

Kuro looked at me as I downed it fast. "Wish you waited for this."

"Ya, me too." I spoke mid bite.

I did not look back assuming when Kuro looks away he will eat something. We all sat in silence as I was the only talker here but it was a comfortable silence. I always liked the times you can just exist and not speak but they just stared at me, I would make sure I was covered every once in while feeling nervous.

They started to set up beds as I sat on the log worried to not be on Kakashi, I was worried to be alone for the night.

Once Kakashi sat in his bed he looked at me for a few seconds and waved me over, I jumped off the log and into the hand he held out for me, he put me on his chest when he lied down, I was feeling so thankful.

"You don't roll around much do you?" I asked and his body shook slightly as I just sat legs crossed as I moved up and down with his breathing. I tried to lie down a few times but the noises would keep making me sit up. When I heard an owl I had to hide not wanting to be carried away. Running up to the part of the vest that was slightly unzipped and slid just under it on his chest. I lied on my chest gripping his shirt in my hands. He smelled a little nice even if we had been in the forest for a few days.

My paranoia of sounds faded as I slowly fell asleep at the rhythm of his breathing and heart.

"Ava." I heard a whisper as something poked me making me slide down a little in shock I grabbed onto the cloth and looked up, Kakashi was leaning on his arms with a kind eye, understanding I crawled up on top of the vest and moved to his hand. Stretching my arms to the sky with a smile as he got on his feet, looking around the early light barely peeked through the trees, Kuro was still sleeping.

I had such a good sleep, I felt happy and rejuvenated.

He went to place me down but I looked up at him worried, thinking of all the things that could hurt me. He seemed to understand my thought and gave me a small nod as he put me on his shoulder. "I am sure you could take them." He joked, I took it as a compliment but all I could picture was falling from a birds talon.

I used my chakra to stay put as he moved around making this feel real fun. "You should save some and eat them at home." I mumbled. "This is kind of fun." I spoke into his ear while standing, shuffling closer to his head.

"Then you can carry me around." I gave a small rub on his ear making him almost jump.

"Sorry." With a laugh. "But I gladly will if you want to try." I held on as he bent over. "Imagine the awesomeness of a tiny ninja." I spoke in thought as he picked up a second log.

"You can't walk on the ground, how would these tiny ninjas get around." This time I made a noise. "There may not be a lot of opportunities for a small ninja." I just nodded unsure if he knew. "I can kill you so much easier now." He had a point.

"What if i'm stuck like this." He paused for a second before picking up some more wood. "I guess my small apartment will be my mansion." I joked.

"Your pillow will be the biggest bed."

"My bathtub will be a big lake without fish."

"Think of the money you will save on food." That made me laugh.

We sat around as Kuro made coffee, knowing there was no way I could drink it he was acting like an ass saying 'mmm' and 'its never been this good.' I just gave him friendly glares but we both had a spark of joy in our eyes.

Kuro and I started to talk about the man we had been sent to watch, comparing his theory's about what could or could not be real. I shifted to Kuros' leg as I nibbled on some egg. It intrigued Kakashi, I know he is really smart and I was happy I could actually teach him something.

They don't think of science in this world if it was not poison or healing, other then that is it was war, violence and jutsu's.

We were back on the road as I sat on Kakashi's hand, Kakashi started to ask me questions about things, only some I could answer so I told him when I did not know or was not completely sure. He seemed happy with my answers and said how some make a lot of sense. Kuro also had a few questions as I guess the last time we talked we did not get real into it.

I am dumb and I am not a scientist but I never knew how much I actually knew just from living, feeling smart when it comes to this, had they had a real smart person they may go crazy. When we got into space travel. "Even if you had a way to travel through space to a new star, the people on this ship would not be the ones that arrived, so many many generations later, I don't know how many but it would take a really, really long time."

He looked up at the sky. "That is kind of sad." I patted his finger unsure if he felt it.

"Ah, but I am here, so it is possible somewhere to get to a new planet, somehow." I also looked up at the sky.

Silence.

"But what I said is the physics I learned in my world, yours is, well it is very different." He just made a noise.

"Do you think I would like your planet?" Looking up at him from his palm.

"I think you would." He looked down on me for a second. "For one thing there is thousands of books like icha icha." He looked at me with interest making me laugh. "But your hair would not stay that shape." I looked up at it with confusion.

I looked back between Kakashi and Kuro a few times. "Then again you're both too badass here to get a basic job." He just looked out straight. Kuro smirked at me, making me smile up at him.

"I guess if I find a way home and back again, I will just fill your bedroom in dirty books." I looked forward again.

"I would like that." His calm face stayed forward.

I liked this time with Kakashi, we have not really chatted this much ever. We have been near each other and he knows things about me but it was never like this. It just made me smile as I sat clinging to his middle finger.

We ran in silence when Kakashi paused and shoved me off on Kuro's shoulder and ran into the woods, I gave a silly smile understanding as I watched his chakra run far away, so we just stayed there and waited.

Sighing I lied down upside down clinging to his bicep I watched him look at me as I hung there, his face was so big from this angle. "You know this close, your eyes are slightly yellow in the coolest places." I stared at his eyes. "It is nice." I mumbled.

He just smirked and made an I'm going to flick you manor with his finger, joy in his eyes. "Ahh, Don't you dare." I spun to hang with my hands off his arm. He was not going to do it but I ninja jumped all over his arms and shoulders.

"What are you a fucking flea." I just cackled as he shivered at the thought of a bug making me stop on his head and felt bad with a need for Kakashi to come back.

"Sorry." I rubbed his hair trying to make him not flick me. "Calm down horsey." He made an angry noise. "I hope Kakashi comes back." I mumbled as I could almost feel the twitching of his eye. "He went far for a piss."

"Wow so lady like."

"Ah eat me."

"There it is again." I just patted his head again. "Don't make me shake my head." He spoke with anger but I could could here his enjoyment.

Sliding back down I sat on his arm as he stood there with them crossed as we waited "I don't think he went too far" he quietly spoke.

"I knew a guy would walk only like five feet away."

"That probably meant he liked you."

"Naw." I shook my hand at him. "Really?" I looked at the sky as he made a noise. "Naw." I swiped my hand again.

"Okay Hayashi."

"Really?" I spoke with fondness. "Naw." Leaning back on my arms.

"So you missed a chance huh?"

"Ya, he was so cute and so dumb."

"That is not a compliment."

"We were so dumb and being complete morons together we had the craziest adventures."

"I think I understand." He stared down at my small dumb ass, I laughed at him getting his joke.

Looking at the sky I spoke wistfully. "Man that sucks, oh well."

"Calm about that?"

"Ah I had not seen him in years I think back on him with fondness, we ended good so it is a nice memory." He just made a noise. "Got any of them?"

"Yes." I looked up waiting for him to speak. "There was this girl when I was in the academy." I just waited again for so long.

"That is it, that is the end of your story?" He just smirked at me. "Seriously." I looked back towards the approaching Kakashi.

Kuro handed me back. "I don't want this bug on me."

I smiled at him. "Well you made it all the way through, nice." I spoke as I was headed to his finger noticing we have no way to wash hands, I made a face as I climbed up on to his shoulder instead making Kuro make a small noise. A part of me hoped I did not just embarrass Kakashi, so I just rubbed his cheek a little before climbing back to sit between his headband and hair.

It was so fun up here at the speeds they were running. "Wee." I lifted my arms. "I missed roller coasters." I yelled when they both asked me what that was, I tried to explain the best I could making Kuro look at me with bright eyes, such a change from his resting bitch face, it really interested him.

"Your world, is weird and crazy and kind of cool." Kuro spoke looking back down the path.

"I can say the same thing." I mumbled unsure if they heard me.

I don't know how long we were moving when my body started to tingle, making me make a small scared noise, they both heard it and paused. I could feel my makeshift dress get tighter. "Put me down." I yelled as I jumped down to his shoulder before sliding with chakra down his chest and his leg. "Sorry." I yelled as I moved over what could be an awkward spot.

I ran into the tree line, Jumping over a large piece of wood and tripping. I started to unravel my cloth heading behind the nearest tree.

I could feel it and it was so fucking weird as I slowly started to grow, I can't explain what it felt like but it was so tingly and yet felt like my body started to feel, correct. I just leaned on the tree with my eyes closed until the tingling stopped, I just breathed in calmly wondering if it was over.

Opening my eyes and looking down, in my hand was the small wrap, I peeked my head around as a smile grew on my face, they were correct size to me.

They both looked at me seemingly glad I was normal again. "Can I have my clothes?" I gave a friendly smile. Kakashi tried not to look my way as Kuro pulled my stuff out. He carefully handed my scroll to me like I was a bomb and backed up again.

I got dressed as fast I could, hopping out of cover as I put on my boots. Kakashi was looking at the sky before back to me. "I think that was twenty four hours."

"Really, cool." I put my weapons bag back on. I looked at where I saw him put the berry's. "You could do something interesting with them." I mumbled. "Like a rare potion for sneaking around or something if it only lasts 24 hours." He blankly looked at me, it was obvious they already thought of that.

I stretched a little now I was dressed and I broke the piece of wood I tripped over easy with my foot. "Ah!" A smile on me face. "So much better." We started to run again, this time with more speed.

We ran for a while in silence. "Thanks for taking care of me." I quietly spoke.

"Your stupid moment might benefit the leaf village." Kuro spoke as Kakashi made an agreeing noise. "Oh I forgot." Kuro mumbled making me look at him. "I found these at that village but then we ran into the guy and you ate a plant." He gave me a small glare making me smile.

He handed me a small bag, I looked in it curious, I saw a few small black objects. "You had six right?" He looked at me startling me as I understood, I stared at him so long I made him uncomfortable making him look away.

I jumped on his back like the first time we fought and hugged him from behind making Kakashi look at us confused. "Thank you!" I almost yelled as I let him go and we kept running.

"I will pull them out when we stop." I did not want to loose one while running.

"The guy gave some spiel about how it helps with chakra, even unproven, might be a lie but."

"I don't care, thank you." I held it to my chest before stuffing the bag into my bra making them both look at me funny. Kakashi seemed like he wanted to ask. "Earrings." I smiled at him he understood and it got quiet again.

I ran only slightly behind these two as I looked at them, I started to compare them to the men in my world. When I noticed something, these two are what they call perverts here and that is not their number one priority, to most here sex is barely on the list. Not once has any of them said one joke, one thought to me, other then our drinking game and the dirty books and I brought that stuff up.

In my world, it is all people talk about, want or think about.

Now I looked at these two hot fucking guys, strange and so glad, the men in this world are not just hot but they are kinder, have more honor and not after one thing. I wonder how much that is actually on there minds. I feel a little wrong for some of the jokes I have made.

Kuro got me a gift with no reason what so ever. That has never happened before, any gifts I have ever gotten from a guy and that was not many, came with an underlying reason.

"You're not them." I mumbled making them both look back at me confused, I looked at them with wide eyes before they looked back forward.

I have said somethings to these two, these two especially as I figured I could. I looked at the back of Kuro at his freak out over the piercings and Kakashi, I am sorry Kakashi. Grabbing my shirt I wanted to apologize, I am the biggest pervert here aren't I?

I just stared back and forth at these strange hairstyles making me smile that I got to meet them. Kakashi looked at me curious, making me notice he could probably feel my eyes on him so I tried and covered my face with a small smile and look back to the path.

With these two we rarely spoke so the rest of the run for the day was mostly silent and uneventful.

We found a spot for the night along side a road where I saw a bush of purple berry's, with a joke I walked over to them and picked one. "What do you think, this will make me big?" I faked like I was going to eat it, when I was suddenly in Kuro's arms as he spun me away from the bush and knocked it from my hand. My feet kicked the air as I yelled. "I was joking." With a laugh making him put me down, turning to him he just rubbed his hair with a shocked and strained look on his face, I started to laugh so hard before his normal smirk came back he just turned while shaking his head.

"Those are actually edible." Kakashi joked, happiness in his eye making him look so cute.

I gave a smirk. "Really?" Looking back at the bush with a thought, that made Kuro sigh again, not wanting to bug him farther, I just smiled at both. "I will get the wood because I can." I moved into the forest.

Laying down my bag I crawled inside, like always with Kakashi no one was on watch as I snuggled into my bag, it took me a while to fall asleep this time when I heard an owl it brought joy to me.

I sat up startled before looking around, I was unsure what scared me. Kuro was asleep before I looked at Kakashi, he was in his bed but I think I woke him as he was looking at me. I just sat there and looked up at the branches blocking the sky, no chakra, no noise or anything and I am sure if I did not see someone, he would have.

I calmed down not remembering my dream.

I just pulled up my legs trying to remember it. Now I was wide awake and unsure what to do feeling bad I woke up Kakashi, looking at him his eye was closed again.

I stared at his face, I actually loved sleeping on him, a part of me wanted to curl back up with him. Looking back at the tree's so he would not feel that.

I admire him, he is my hero just because of the books, not even the amount of times he saved my ass but he is out of my league. I just want to have him in my life and I hope we can be friends. I really want to be his friend, he is pretty cool. Kuro is also my hero, he saved me, brought me to the village without him, who knows where I would be.

What to do now, afraid to move to much as I take it Kakashi is a very light sleeper and he should sleep. I started to mentally listen to an old song from home, tapping my finger lightly on my leg making no noise.

"My socks can't fight." I heard him quietly say, making me snap my head around in confusion.

"Hmm?" I said silently.

"You said that in code." I was so stunned I just stared at his face startled, what code? He heard that?

"Wow your ears must be amazing, it was just a song from home." I said so quietly assuming he could hear that. He did not make a noise. "But that is so funny." My socks can't fight. I tried not to laugh as I did not want to wake Kuro. "I did not know you had codes, that is, man that is cool." I whispered.

A small part of me worried he might think that was a code to someone. "No worries, I know you don't know a single Anbu."

"Sometimes you ninjas are too perceptive." I joked. "Man I need to fix whatever it is that makes you all read me so well." I flopped back onto my back arms spread to the sides, looking up at the trees.

It was silent for a few minutes. "I use chakra to enhance my senses." I looked in his direction from the ground, did he just tell me something?

"How?" It stayed silent, maybe he is looking for the correct words, might just not want to tell me.

"Don't try." He said as I was about to. "Doing it wrong can hurt you." fucking Ninjas see every thought inside me.

I just stayed there, maybe one day he will tell me. "Well that is cool."

I just laid there unable to sleep but afraid to move hoping he will go back to sleep.

Suddenly he was on his feet and looked down at me as I looked back up at him, he walked over and slowly took a hand and stuck it out for me to take, I let him pull me up. Dropping my hand he walked away, assuming I was to follow.

We walked onto the path away from the sleeping Kuro, he turned to me and stood silently before he started to tell me how, he pointed to his nose. "Try here, if you hurt yourself you will only not be able to smell for a little while." I just looked at him with wide eyes and nodded as I shut my eyes and focused putting only a little like he said.

I did it wrong, I did not break me but I could not smell anything then normal. I looked at him sadly.

"Keep trying, carefully and slowly." I smiled and shut my eyes again to try once more.

"How long until you got it right?"

"The first try."

"Ya, figures." I gave a small laugh opening my eyes to look at him. "Is it like a dog?"

"My sense of smell was stronger even without enhancement, so mine is yes." He gave me an eye smile.

Closing my eyes again, I hope I don't smell to bad. He shuffled off, unsure why I just kept trying, carefully. I could feel the forest wake up again, the birds will start soon, Kuro will be up next he probably went for wood.

Around the eleventh try I think I did it, my eyes stayed close as I sniffed, the dirt and plants were stronger when I smelled something familiar, something I used to smell all the time at home. I made a happy noise at the fact I did it, and tried to figure out what it was I was remembering.

I felt Kakashi head my way and I could smell him from here, just before he passed by me he paused "did you do it?" He sounded slightly shocked.

I nodded with a smile. "I smell something."

Sniffing the air a few more times.

"It is a plant." I mumbled. "I know it well." Using my nose with my eyes closed to follow it. "Mint!" I spoke to loud. "It is mint." I wondered over a little bit into the tree line and he followed, opening my eyes I looked down at the small plant. "Apple mint." I mumbled as I picked some. "It helps with a sore throat in some tea."

He looked at me strangely and I noticed he did have some wood. "My mom loved gardening, mostly herbs, I helped a bit, I missed this smell as her home was always filled with the smell of drying plants."

"Is that why you prefer plants?"

I looked at him with a smile as I picked a few more but not many. "Probably." He shuffled the wood, his face still covered in a bored look like always. "I assume you prefer plants too?" He gave me a nod before heading back to where Kuro was.

I followed him as I just smelled around. "Thanks for teaching me something, this is awesome." He just made a noise, maybe I am closer to asking him for help someday, it still gives me such strong nerves to ask.

We had a lazy morning and hit the road, two hours later the big gates loomed in the distance.

Izumo and Kotetsu said hello to all of us as we passed I smiled at them and they smiled back, making me happy.

We went straight for the Hokage tower, no one was around so we got in right away.

Shizune and the pig were also inside as we went over our mission.

When we got to the berry's they both looked so interested as Kakashi pulled the bag out. She took it saying she will give them to to Nara head.

Then she started to ask me tons of questions about what it was like, she opened the bag and looked inside before quickly eating one.

We all had a shocked expression on our faces and Shizune made a weird noise as she 'poof' out of view. "You can't get out of your responsibility's by shrinking." She yelled as I laughed and unwrapped the wrap I used on me as I ran behind the desk to help find her in her clothes.

I put the mint in a cup to dry for a smell of home.

Tying my hair into a messy bun I put on the earrings, they were not the exact same as home but pretty similar, their was six small almost flat black balls, nothing special or fancy and yet I have never been this excited over an earring. They even moved together more like my belly ring then normal earrings but still moved through with ease.

Admiring them my smile did not leave my face. "Thank you Kuro." I poked one, love in my heart at this man. Real or not, they were not to easy to grab, less chance of someone ripping them out mid fight, assuming that is why no one really wears any because it could turn bad.

Leaving my hair up I grabbed clean clothes and headed to the hot springs. The shower room was empty but there was an air that someone was just here as the warm mist surrounded me. I could feel Anko inside perking me up as I got clean.

I smiled as I walked in towel around me when she saw me her face lit up. I slid into the water and put my towel on the side before sliding deep up to my neck, noticing I was a little more open about my body now.

I moved near her and we just floated around as we greeted each other. She looked at my earrings with interest. "Was a gift, nice right?" She nodded.

"I have a mission later, I needed to relax before I go." She sounded a little annoyed, making me smile.

"I just got back, was running for like a week straight, well other then a full day of being carried."

"What got hurt?"

"No, got stupid." I smirked at her.

"Shouldn't you be used to that now." I laughed but I also snorted making me cover my mouth and look at her shocked as every lady in here laughed at me.

"And thus I die." I slid deeper into the water, joking, I was not embarrassed.

We moved near each other both covered completely, enjoying the water. We held a lighthearted conversation until the other three went and got out together.

"Why did you want to be a ninja?" She got serious.

"I didn't, but chakra was interesting I wanted to play with it, I did not expect this." I smiled at her, and she seemed to like my answer.

"Does your tattoo mean something?" She looked at me for a second, like I should know this.

"It's not a tattoo." I was so confused what that meant.

"It is a curse seal."

"I don't understand." Didn't Naruto mumbled something about that once? I looked at her lost, when she told me what that was in small words, my eyes got big as I just stared at her. Then she told me a little about that Orochimaru but only a little. "Sometimes your world is creepy." Man that guy! He is like the main villain in a show, so weird, she just looked at me interested in my thoughts.

Pulling my arm out I looked at my tattoo, they can be something other then tattoos here?

"Do you think that is what yours is?" She stared me down.

"I doubt it but I did not know that was a thing." She just nodded at me, I dropped it back into the water.

The air was comfortable even if serious, I asked her a few questions on this topic and she helped as much as she could.
