I leaned back looking out the cafe's window sipping a crappy coffee as Nel was being tested out as a barista. The women was a massive failure but I could not ask them to remake my coffee as I want her out of my bed. I sighed and slowly blinked when I heard a loud crash, she then yelled at them for startling her and it was their fault it fell.

Why am I stuck with her?

Getting a job here was different then in my world. If they are hiring you just walk in and test for it, this was the third place we tried. Checking the time I am now late for the free for all us girls do and still need to fix up my weapons as she has not left my side yet.

She complained about all the jobs as we stopped for some food. I watched as she eyed every fine looking ninja that passed. You know in my world with police, she would be called a badge bunny. What would you call one here? A leaf follower, a blade bitch, A hidden hopper. I don't know. She has a thirst for these men but I could almost relate. The body's of the male ninja's were nothing but eye catching.

I talked her into letting me pop by the training grounds. Walking up all the girls were here today, Ino, Sakura, Tenten and Hinata. She slid down a tree as I ran into the group, late but here. They cheered at me as I moved to kick Ino.

She went rolling away before getting on her feet. I could feel Sakura had chakra in her fists and looking at Hinata she has byakugan working. Tenten tossed an array of weapons at me. "We are going all out." She yelled, I smiled as I rolled into away from them before shifting my head barely dodging Sakura's punch.

I felt awesome. I love this, it is just so fun.

I rolled backwards as Sakura, Ino and Tenten focused on me, pulling water around my wrists and ankles. I was doing nothing but dodging and blocking when Hinata came to help me. "What is she doing here?" Sakura asked as I moved fast behind her and kicked her in her ass, she stumbled forward as Hinata moved to block her chakra points but she jumped away, that gave us more space from the two of them as Tenten tossed many weapons.

"I am stuck with her." I spoke, I flipped between her many different types of weapons, moving between them so smooth, changing my direction in a split second and got up to Sakura as we got into a fight, her hit's could not hit me and the way I moved between the weapons seemed startling to her as she ran off to not be stuck with me and Tenten's storm.

"How are you doing that?" Ino yelled at me, I flipped and slid between them as I got close to Sakura again. I guess I have fought Tenten enough to see where they fly, where they land and how heavy each kind of blade was understanding how fast it would move.

I felt an awkward feeling pressed around my head, it pushed and pulled making me look towards Ino, she was leaning on one knee with that hand sign faced at me. The distraction made Sakura move to punch me in my chest. I shifted chakra into my feet and moved around her just barely escaping as I mouthed 'shit', if she hits me I am screwed.

Ino made a noise and fell over making all of stop what we were doing and looking at her worried as they all know my mind is hard to break into. She sat up rubbing her head like it was in pain and staring at me. "Ya, I wont try that again." I was about to ask what she did when Nel called out.

"This is boring, I want to leave." I sighed as I peered at her, Sakura just glared at her.

"So glad I am not stuck with her." She said quietly. I just dropped my water and walked her way, I am her person until she gets settled in. Fucking bullshit. The girls got back at it as I peered back sadly wishing to join but we just walked back to town.

"Are you good at anything?" I asked, I need to find her a job.

"Well, just fashion really." I nodded and looked down the busy road.

"Why have I not thought of that." I waved for her to follow. "The clothing store."

She ran in like she was going shopping, she started to search the racks as I looked around. I could feel the lady that runs this place in the back. She pulled out a top and looked at me like I would buy it for her, she was moving around like this was all on me I am unsure what to say or do.

I rubbed my head. "Man this place really caters to the shinobi, where are all the cute dresses?" She was digging around a rack.

"We are in the leaf village." I said bored.

She just made a noise at me before holding up a cute black wrap that fit's around shorts of a Kunoichi. She held it to me. "This is nice." I guess I have changed, I thought I tried to change my outfit to much here but I was not feeling it today. I just want to be alone.

I bought her a few of the rare dresses in the store after she tried to guilt me to do it but I was feeling bad as she only had the black one and when the women came to ring us in I was happy said yes to a job interview, giving me about thirty minutes to go deal with my weapons, alone.

Placing the old weapons on the desk for him I took my pack and walked around.

Sting looked at me with pride as normally he fills it for me but I had an urge to just look around at stuff I have yet to use. I wanted to try new things, something I have not done in a bit and I hate that I let myself stop learning for a little while. It made me feel shameful.

I found these tiny gray balls, there was only a few at the bottom of some case filled with things on clearance, they were about half the size of a smoke bomb. "Not many use them." He spoke up as I rolled one in my hand. "It gives a flash of light that can blind but does not last long." I looked curious. "Smoke bombs are much easier to use."

"Interesting." I whispered as he told me it was best when attached to a kunai and thrown as a distraction.

"You, might be able to use it." I looked serious. "Mostly only the Nara use them, creates shadows." He looked at me like he had an idea but did not say anything. I shrugged and tossed a few next to my smoke bombs to try before looking into the bin at what was in here.

There was also this tiny red stick so I picked that up.

I looked around and found a small button that I pressed. A small spark appeared before it lit on fire, it is a crappy version of a lighter. "Ya they were made a while ago before they perfected it, these actually are dangerous but ineffective in battle." He spoke making me nod.

"How are they dangerous?"

"The spark when used could zap the user but they never run out, good for making fires really." He sighed. "No one buy's them anymore." It interested me so I showed him and placed one in my scroll to buy after, most leaf ninja's know how to use some kind of fire jutsu that they don't even need anything of the sort.

Tenten was suddenly in front of the store making me look towards her with a smile. "I see your done?" She nodded sadly as she walked closer. I looked at her worried as she went and looked at the strongest weapons. "What's up?" I asked serious.

"The way you moved between my weapons, the fact I rarely hit people with them." She picked up a small blade. "I seem to be standing still while you all get better. I am not good at Taijutsu, range is all I have."

I frowned at her I helped look at what all he has she has not tried. Sting was then next to us. "This is new Tenten." He spoke as he pulled out this long spiky chain with a brown square but a sharp small point, it had a few holes in it. He showed her. "It is for when you are stuck in close combat, it not only gives you range." He pressed a button at the chains edge where a soft leather was to hold onto. A large gust of wind came out knocking over some swords and blowing my hair into my face, I almost fell over.

I awkwardly fixed my hair. "I only lightly touched it, the wind can be stronger." He spoke and she looked at it with excitement. I guess they know each other well. She looked at it so happy, she loves new weapons.

I helped pick up a couple small swords and placed it on the wall as they chatted like old friends. "Ever thought of using poison." I spoke. "So a small cut would do massive damage?"

Sting looked at me. "That is a good idea, it also makes senbon very useful." He walked off as she looked at me.

"I know nothing about poison, I mean that is a medical ninja thing." She looked down in thought. "Maybe I should look it up." She spoke quietly as she lightly touched the chain not to hurt herself, she looked at it like it was gold. "I know your not free today." She looked at me as she bought the weapon. "When you are I would love to duel you." She still seemed sad making me nod as she walked off.

I was out of time so I payed for my things and moved to find Nel. I found her walking down the road. "There you are you bitch." She yelled making me sigh.

I closed my curtains and walked around my home naked celebrating being alone for the first time in days as I cleaned the mess the women made, she was like a storm and did not try to clean anything. I cleaned my bedroom when I felt Kakashi land on my balcony, with a panic I moved fast grabbed a smoke bomb from my holster on my bed and tossed it on the ground in front of the closed balcony door as he opened it.

I quickly ran to my bathroom.

"Ava? Why did you throw that?" I heard him make a small noise, I basically just pepper sprayed him. Hmm, that would be useful here, maybe.

"One second." I yelled through the closed door looking around at what was left on the floor in here. I grabbed a small red dress Nel left behind. One of the stupid things she made me buy that she never wore. It was short as I pulled it low and peeked out.

"What is going on?" He looked at me, I watched his eye did a quick scan of my body, so fast I almost missed it when it was back on my face.

"You going out?" I looked down and shook my head. I saw a small blush on his face as his eye grew slightly, I think he just understood what had just happened. Rubbing the back of his head he looked at the ceiling. "What was I here for?" He asked making me hold back a laugh.

"To startle me, I need a minute." I slid by him towards my bedroom.

"Ah I only need thirty seconds."

I smiled back at him. "That's what girl likes to hear." I smirked making his blush get stronger.

"You have a mission." I stopped in my doorway and peered at him. "You are to steal something." I looked curious. "So your not alone I will be going with you." I smiled I love stealing things so much. His eye looked sad at me making mine drop. "But there is a high chance you will need to assassinate someone." I frowned, no, I don't want to do that.

"Why me?"

"You are unseeable, you can sneak in way's even I can't." I just stared at him sadly trying to find a way out. "He has information that we need, information that will be on his person." He stepped closer. "Information on the land of rain" He was serious but that made me serious. "Something is going on there and Tsunade needs it."

"What kind of information?"

He shrugged. "That is why we need it." I nodded with a sad look I walked and shut my bedroom door to get dressed. I watched Kakashi move around my home as I did this. "We have only a small opening as he travels, we will be moving fast and leaving soon, make sure you get everything." He yelled at me.

I stood in the middle of the road, Kakashi was no where near me. I could feel ninja's running through the tree's towards me in a large arch. I transformed into a small rock. I felt tiny and suffocated as I sat there on the cold ground. The ninja's ran by checking out the area they did not see me.

This was all my idea. He was unsure but let me try, he may be far but he is out there, stealth is needed.

I could not see but I could feel the chakra of the man coming at me finally. I heard the sound of wheels in the cold hard dirt. The light faded around me, I reached up with my hand, letting my fingers touch the base of the carriage before they wrapped around a metal part, gripping the base and letting it pull me away.

I was unseen as I moved with them, it was feeling very uncomfortable but I breathed through it. I can't fail now. I listened to them talk about many things, nothing I don't think it was anything I needed to know but I took it all in. A while later we stopped as they set up a tent for him.

Many ninja's surrounded me coming from securing the area.

This was the last night he will be in the open, we are coming close to the land of rain. I felt them set up the scroll, I was told it is something like the kind Hayashi used to see anyone in the area. I let my hand drop as I fell to the ground, I rubbed my wrist as I turned into me, it was in massive pain.

The area was dark and no one saw me as I tried to stretch under this large thing, staying in that shape was brutal and something I know I wont do again for hours unless I have to, my muscles felt wrong and stiff and my chakra was drained from holding it.

But I learned how that sucks.

Counting the men and where they stood. So thankful the moon was low, a higher chance of not being seen.

I breathed in quietly and rolled onto my chest, this time looking around with my eye's. Between me and this mans tent was one ninja, standing there alert. Two ninja's on both sides of the tent's opening.

They circled the place making no holes in the protection. There was also another one on the other side of the carriage. Some women who's feet were not far from me.

I could see a light inside the tent, it casted a small shadow but so small I think I could deal with it and if careful not be spotted.

I only had one thought, doing something stupid again. Unsure if that would work. I need a distraction, they would see me without one. I did a few handsigns, letting some mist filter in from the tree's lightly around their feet so slow it will take a bit to notice. It felt like ages but they never noticed it.

The sounds of animal's helped me making it creepy as they made noise in the forest, a few ninja's speaking quietly to each other, listening in again it was no real information to take but I took every word in hoping I would not forget.

Holding back a sigh I turned back into the dirt ball, it took me a second to get myself to move but I got it and rolled passed this mans feet hidden in the light dusting of mist. I rolled into the man's tent hating life. I was focused on everything around me and felt cold, my head on the mission.

I could not see like this so I used his chakra to base where I was. I rolled behind him. Quietly I was back into me. He sat in front of me writing something down on a parchment, It was a second but it felt like ages and he did not notice me as I shifted into position. So long as I stay between him and the light I was unseen.

I apologized in my head to this random man. Knowing nothing about him.

I grabbed his mouth with my left hand and rammed a kunai into his brain, so fast and quiet he did not make a sound. I hated this but damn that was easy. I rolled with his body down before sitting up like he was before ready to fight if someone noticed.

I looked around the white tent and moved to find what I came for while trying not to move to much.

I shoved everything this man had into my scroll including what he was currently writing not wanting to leave anything behind.

I got ready.

I quickly cut the back of the tent open, I moved fast mind fucking the only man on this side of the tent. I still seemed unseen as I did the same thing, covering his mouth and taking him down before I ran into the dark forest.

I was numb and cold and serious. I ran towards where I left Kakashi a bit of a run away from here not letting what just happened into my heart I stayed focused. I went as fast as I could and it was not long until I could not feel the caravan anymore, using my scent I hunted him down.

The second I found him it was like the ninja in me stopped and I was feeling the sadness and heartbreak about what I just did. I gave him a sad nod, he gave one back and we headed towards the land of fire. We ran for a long while quietly until we stopped.

Taking to the tree's he stuck his hand out and I passed him my scroll, he peered at what I had as I have more then I should. He handed it back and just stared at me, I looked away sadly and he touched my shoulder lightly, we still did not speak.

We were awake so we continued to run through the dark forest, after a little while and seeing that we were still alone he asked me what happened.

They don't know who we were and where we were from giving us a big advantage so we must not be spotted, we ran for a bit longer before we set up in the middle of the night for a short sleep.

I woke up the sounds of birds and my hair being stroked. It felt so nice as I felt the body of Kakashi next to me, my one arm wrapped around his waist. I rubbed my thumb along his skin making him get tense, the reaction to me made me get a little tense as well before I opened my eye's, a little nervous rubbing his soft and warm skin.

I did not want to move but I looked up at him as he sat leaning on a tree reading his book, his one eye looking down on me. I felt on edge as I slowly sat up, my fingers lightly running along his skin under his vest before I sat up straight and faced away as I rubbed my face to wake up.

"Did you sleep?" I yawned at him and he shook his head no before I looked at the light in the tree's. It was a quiet morning the air was peaceful as a few birds sung in the tree's. I hated last night but waking up like this made me feel better then I have in a while. I tried to not look at him so he did not know.

I was going to cook breakfast when I stood up, I felt it, Kakashi and I locked eye's before we moved and started to run. Someone was coming, unsure who or even if it was them, it was someone. They stayed on our heals when Kakashi grabbed me.

I was lost in a familiar disorienting feeling, it took a second for me to understand what happened, he did that leaf thing I still don't know the name of, but what got me was I was pressed to him inside a hollowed out tree.

His vest pressed into my chest painfully of whatever he held in the pockets. My arms around him with my hands pressed the bark as I held him in my embrace his arms holding me as well. I felt the four ninja's flying over our heads as my eye's followed them even if I could not see. It was strange to be in here, there was only a few holes of light unsure how he knew it was a safe place.

I looked up at him my face inches from his, my eye's landing on the outline of his masked lips I started to wonder what was under it, wanting to press mine to his, that second I no longer felt the pain of his vest but how close he was to me, the smell of his earthy body wash filling my nose.

His hand slid around me tighter, feeling his warm hard arms slid along my back sent a flutter through me as I looked up at his eye. Mine locked with his, it was filled with fear and a small darkness behind it, almost like he wanted to run away. I shut my eye's and faced away, I am sure he could see that small want. He sees everything.

The air around us was tense but we did not move trapped in this freaking tree, I was about to kick myself out of it feeling even more suffocated when another ninja flew over our heads making me hold back a sigh and lean my head on his chest as I looked down, my view stopped by our body's pressed together.

I peered back up at him, his eye's were shut tight and strained, he never let me go, he held me tight but the tree was pretty small.

I was suddenly hyper aware of every part of him that touched me, my mind was bringing me back to the feeling of him touching my hair and wanting to touch that soft skin again.

I just focused on whatever was jamming into my breast like a bad bra. It was painful making me shift a little to place it below my boob so I was not being stabbed.

He made an amused noise. "Box of pills to help with chakra gain." I nodded.

"Not what I would want poking me but." He gave the quietist chuckle and it was like the air changed into humor as I bit my lip with a smile, still not able to look back up. I just cuddled into him as he grabbed me tighter when no one passed for a minute we broke out knocking down the thick bark and started running the opposite way they went while still heading to the land of fire.

We ran all day and found a cave to stay in for the night, high above the tree's in a cliff side, an area hidden perfect for a fire. He said he was here many times before and it is a good place to hide on the way back to the village. We have seen no one since then so they are not the best trackers.

We finally had a real meal as he was talking about how it was crazy what I did worked so well. He looked at me. "I should teach you how to transform into a puddle, I think it is safer and more useful, a strong jutsu." I just smiled at him, so happy he wants to teach me more.

The moment in the tree would not leave my mind but I pretended it was nothing and the air between us was back to normal, comfertable and entertaining. I felt embarrassed about it deep inside. I know he saw that, I was unsure about that look in his eye, it just sits in my gut.

What does he really think of me? I know an Adult would ask but for now Ill be a teenager. I know a few time's at home male friends would try something and when I said no our friendship never lasted. I have been telling myself not to go there over and over these last few months but sadly it does not seem to work.

I can't shake this feeling lately, when he gets to close my gut gets tight and my heart get's light.

The sound of thunder pulled me from my thoughts as I jumped making him chuckle, looking at him he had compassion in his eye. I looked out of the cave as the rain started to pour so heavily. I just watched it as I ate.

"You ever find out how to use any other element?" He spoke up.

I looked at him sadly. "I have tried earth, wind and even a small flame, nothing, I have not tried in a while."

"I wonder what is your second element."

"Who knows, wind would be cool." He showed me a few handsigns for a small gust of wind. I tried with a smile but nothing, I shrugged. "I guess I assume I just can't."

"Don't give up, who knows what you can do but you will never know if you don't try." I gave this small hopeful look to him before I turned back to the rain. The look was not about a jutsu, it was about him and I but at least he wont know that.

"Let me teach you how to change your affinity." I nodded excited. "We need to figure out your second first."

"I hope it is wind."

"Wind and water would be very nice together. Perhaps it is fire or earth, no matter what it is I know you will use it just as well." I smiled kindly as he watched me. "I can use them all, so I can help you no matter what."

I got comfertable and watched the rain as he read his red book. I would catch him look at me from time to time but pretended I did not. "I wish I brought a book, got another?" He shook his head no not looking up. "Ah that is fine, I have not read the first one in a while."

"I need a break." He looked at me quickly again. "From the green one."

"Ya." I shifted sliding down.

I woke up alone, the storm was still raging worrying me. Where is Kakashi? I stood and ran my hand along the wall as I came to the entrance. I could not tell the time as it was so dark out, a large sound of thunder boomed and then a small lighting strike in the distance hitting a tree.

Peering back the fire was gone, the wood was all burnt up. I assume he went to grab more wet wood but I am unsure. He never woke me so I think we are still alone out here. I hope it was wood, I would love a coffee I just stepped back and sat down on my blanket in wait.

He startled me when he landed in the cave, his chakra was still hidden but that was not strange, we may have people looking for us. "There is my little avatar."

He looked at me confused as he dropped some wood, I checked him over as he was soaked to the bone, his hair still standing up, something I can't understand as some water dripped down the side of his face into his mask. "What is an avatar?" I just shrugged with a stupid smile always loving confusing a man so smart. "And nothing about me is little." He said to me with the biggest eye smile, there was this light in his eye as he joked.

I smirked as I watched him try and dry the wood with fire. "Oh, really?" I leaned forward loving this. "You going to show me your dog Kakashi?" I joked as the fire got lit for real. He blushed slightly but the awkward air from the tree did not come back. I pulled out my coffee pot. "Seriously." He looked startled. "You need to get out of your wet clothes." He blushed again. "I just mean... your soaked, I can look away." I pointed behind me, biting my lip and chuckling. "Or not." I leaned forward on my arms.

"We will be leaving soon, it wont matter."

"Really, I don't want to leave the cave." I stared at the pouring rain leaning back on my arms.

"You sound like your ancestors."

"Well maybe they had it right." We shared a smile. He pulled out some egg's and I made coffee. He was right, we need to get home, rain or no rain. Who knows when it will stop anyway.

He started to talk to me about Nature transformation and how we can mesh them together to create something new when he brought up what was strong and what was weak.

"Wait, wait." He looked at me. "How is lightning strong on earth?" He looked confused. "Well earth grounds lightning, it should not be strong to earth but weaker."

"What then?"

"Well water, lighting is stronger in water where earth nullifies it." He just stared at me, I wonder how dumb I was looking. "I mean I can see earth stronger then water but at the same time water can erode and crack and destroy earth but lightning makes no sense."

He was staring at me in thought. I felt ashamed maybe I am just to dumb to understand. "Sorry." I let it go finishing my coffee, he watched me so I looked away, also to make it seem like I was letting him eat but I was afraid at how dumb I might have just looked to him. But it still makes no sense to me.

"Your right." I looked at him. "But it is something I always knew, it seems to just be the way it is, it really does beat rock." He looked down. "It cracks and breaks it." He looked back up.

"Well that is good to know. I never thought about it or talked about it, I mean in my head, water beats fire, wind makes fire stronger but I never thought earth is weak to lightning." He just stared at me as he grabbed some egg, I looked away. "If you ever stick me in another dome that is a good thing to know."

"Ya, that will get you out." He spoke with a light tone. "Maybe because the ability's made with chakra are not the same as earth." I looked back at him. "They are not the same, the water on your fists are more natural then your water wave, structurally, they just just work the same."

"That is interesting." I spoke sipping my coffee. "I guess I got to stop using what I learned at home sometimes this place does not do physics."

I noticed I missed him eat. "You used to say that a lot." He smiled at me with such kindness.

"It is true."

"Now that I find interesting." I looked curious. "The difference between the natural way that we work, it is different in the way's we function while still being in the same universe." He was staring at me blankly again and not looking away. "You get to see them and that is very cool."

"True." I smiled, that is cool.

"And you understand and know to spot the differences, you know more about the stars and moon and planets then anyone in this world." He would not look away making butterflies land in my gut as I stared at him. Once he noticed I was looking at him he looked away. "Well, we should go." He stood up. "Let's get home."

"Glad we live in such a warm climate to go out in this storm." I mumbled as he put out the fire with dirt.

I wondered through to the area we stole as ours. Walking up I found Tenten and Sakura staring at a large book together, they were talking and pointing. "Hey." I spoke up as I looked at sun boring down, a large heatwave was passing through.

"You had a good idea." Tenten spoke. "Sakura is intrigued, book of poisons." She waved it at me excited.

"Ya, we can learn together, I am learning some from Shizune, just a couple basics and antidotes but different kinds is very useful to me." Sakura spoke. I let them read as I sat down, I admit even I want to look in that book.

We waited to see if anyone else would show up I slid over, sitting behind them on my legs I peaked at the book. There was so many kinds, some are what you would expect, something that can slowly kill or knock people out in a sleep. But others do some crazy things, like mess with there chakra, paralyze them, there is some crazy airborne poisons I never knew about.

We spent the first thirty minutes of this time to read this large book. Both how to make, what they do and the antidote to many different kinds before we got up to spar.

Tenten was using that new weapon to keep us at bay, she was wielding it well and she only just started. She asked that both of us just attack her and go all out and she will fight us both. I gave a nod to Sakura, she smiled at me as we got ready.

I was glad to help, she feels behind and I was happy to help her grow.

Once this is over I should ask if she likes sealing, I saw how useful that can be and she already uses it a little.

You can make anything with them.

I had a strong need to help Tenten right now, I know how it feels to feel less then others or like your not growing. I guess I go down many different kinds of training that I want to open them up to different things. Maybe I should also learn about Poison's with them. Set aside time for all of us to learn together, learning together let's you see in the eye's of others and really helps you in the end.

I was going for my morning run, the dew on my toes and the fog in the air give me such a large feeling of peace and a silly feeling when I passed the hero stone. I slid to a stop as Kakashi stood there again with his hands in his pockets. I was a few yards away so I landed behind him.

I was unsure if he knew I was here as I stepped next to him, he looked at me like this was private and I was not welcome. "Oh, where am I?" I asked as I walked off looking around like I was lost. "This is not where I parked my car." And I jumped away and ran to leave him alone. My heart reached to him but he would tell me if he ever wanted me to know.

I slid to stop and flipped backwards from projectiles before barely dodging his kick, I moved like I was slow as I dodged fist after fist. His foot came to kick out mine I clung to it as he moved to land on it as I spun on my back. I did a split one leg kicking his and the other headed in between his legs and he jumped back and I got onto my feet.

There was space between us. I smirked at him as he stood up slowly and casually, looking me over with a darkness in his eye's, he was feeling something serious and yet I was a bubbly mess, our emotions were not the same. I did not speak as I pulled water over my wrists and ankles, I watched his eye slid down as I started to move them so fast they took the color of the sunrise and started to lightly glow, I thought it looked cool as I put one arm in front of me and looked at it.

"Your water is sharper and farther from your hand then the last time I saw it." He spoke so calmly making me frown as he was obviously going through something. "It is pretty." He sounded sad.

I watched his eye slowly move up my body before blankly landing on my face.

I wanted to make him smile but he took a stance as he stared at me, he was about to fight me. I hope this was not because I just pissed him off or something. Whatever it was I want to make him feel better and perhaps a real fight may do that, but I just wanted to play around. I did the handsigns as he watched me, the mist started to rise over the earth as he stared at my sageless face before we both vanished from each other.

Without sage mode I could not see his chakra as I moved to spread my scent around and listen for him. I did not move as I listened and smelled, I heard the small shift of grass and sent four clones at him, I moved silently around him. A smile grew on my face as I noticed I could use this wide and far now. I had not tried in ages but I could do it.

What else could I do now without sage mode?

I heard them get into a tai battle. "Everybody was kung fu fighting." I yelled before I sped to his other side as I felt two clones drop. "Those guy's were fast as Lightning." I chuckled as I sung before moving again, I heard him head to where I was. "It was a little bit frightening." I shifted with speed again, I whispered in his ear as I jumped on his back. "But they fought with expert timing." And kissed his cheek.

I could not see him move but I was thrown off and kicked in the chest as I went flying away, landing on my feet in a slide I giggled before shifting to the other side of him. "Sexy kung fu fighter" I moved again. "Let me take you higher." I sung loudly as I ran around. I heard the sound of a fireball. I shifted fast to a new spot trying to be as light on my feet as I could.

I shut up and listened again, it was deadly quiet. When I felt him behind me, I moved to roll out of the way sliding down below his knees ready to adjust or attack but he stood there, I slowly stood up and walked to him. I stood in front of him, he was so hard to see in the mist when his arms wrapped around me. His head nuzzling into my neck as I hugged him back tightly.

I had a strong urge to kiss him again, I wanted to rip open his bulky and painful vest and pull down that mask but if he ever wanted to kiss me, he would do it. So I just hugged him back and let the mist fade around us. My hand ran up the side of his face into his hair, my finger lightly ran over his ear and he shifted awkwardly before pulling me tight while bending me backwards, his masked mouth shoved into my neck as he breathed on it sending a shiver through me. I giggled as I started to see him in my mist.

I felt so close to this man right this second.

He pulled back standing straight, his eye locked with mine and he was happy, it was fast I almost missed it as his eye landed on my mouth but he let me go and moved a few feet away. "Thank's, Sexy." He said looking back at me before he was gone.

I stood there startled, one, he looked at my lips. I was nervous as I twisted my hand in my shorts but he called me sexy. He never calls me sexy, I ran the way he said that over and over again in my mind. I felt wetness dripping down my face as I wiped it away.

"Fucking bullshit."

My nose was bleeding.

I stood there as my body vibrated, my heart got confident, I squinted my eye's and ran after him. The want was strong and the feeling was thick that he may just kiss me back. I followed his scent as I chased him down, every part of my body yelled for me to chase him down. I landed with the gates in the distance where Kakashi was meeting with a few familiar strangers and Asuma. They looked at him pissed he was late making me stop where I stood.

I watched them vanish as they ran away, gone in second.

My heart was sad, I don't know when I was going to have that braveness in me again and what might happen when I see him next. I closed my eye's and leaned on the nearby store as they opened and just breathed. Maybe it was meant to be, I might not have been meant to kiss him.

I stood up and walked to the coffee shop as it should be open.
