You were now sitting in the comfort of your living room with Kakashi. He came over again to help you learn more Japanese. The thing is, you knew how to speak it, otherwise it would be hard to communicate with everyone here, but writing was a whole different ball game. Kakashi noticing this, would help you with your studies every once-in-a-while. You were getting to the point where you could write sentences now and recognize kanji's, but mostly just the basics.

"Alright, you seem to get that all down, so let's move on to the next one."

"Hai, Kakashi-sensei!" You say enthusiastically with a cheeky closed eye smile.

"I t-told you not to c-call me that!" He blushed out of embarrassment.

"Yeah, yeah. What ever you say..."

"Like I was saying. This is the kanji for grand." He says as he begins to draw the kanji to let you see it.

You simply nod and mimic his his actions.

"And this is the kanji for sky."

You nod twice in understanding as you begin to draw it.

"You know, you've been learning all of this pretty quickly during the weeks that I've been tutoring you."

"Mmhmm. Back where I was from, I was told that I am a very quick learner." You say proudly.

"I can see why..." Kakashi continued. "That reminds me." He pulled out a book from his bag. "I meant to give this to you earlier."

"What is this?" You say as you tilt your head to the side in confusion.

"It's a Japanese writing book I use to use when I was learning how to write all those years ago. I figured that you need it more than I now." e says as he hands it to you."

"Thank you very much." You say as you attempt to bow.

"If you manage to complete it, I might give you a reward."

"Really?"

"Sure."

"I already have one picked out!"

"What would that be?"

"Seeing your face."

"Not gonna happen. Besides, I could say the same thing." He says in a bored tone as he eyes your mask.

"It was worth a try..." You say as you sagged to one side in disappointment.

Kakashi shrugged and shook his head at your behavior. "But I could take you out for some dango."

Your eyes lit up as your depressed aura turned into that of a sparkling happy one. "Weally?"

He was taken back by your sudden childlike manner. "Y-yeah..."

At his answer you immediately began to work on the little book he gave you. "I'll get this done before this months end. Better yet, before the second week!" You exclaim as you began to trace some of the kanji's, then you went on to the practice sentences. "Wait! Kakashi?"

"Yes?"

"What do theses sentences say?" You say as you give a little sweat drop and a closed eye smile.

He shook his head and started reading the sentences to you. As he did this, you wrote a little side note at the bottom in (Your native language).

Once you managed to write all of the sentences meaning, you went back to studying them and trying to pick out all of the words and then write them back down in kanji.

"It's starting to get late, I should get home soon." He says.

"Okay. But if you need anything, i'm here. Never be afraid to ask, okay?" You look up from the packet and flashed him a closed eye smile.

"Yeah, whatever." He says as he turns around and heads to your door.

"Oh my god. Is the almighty Kakashi actually about to use the front door on his own free will?"

"That really is something."

"Isn't it?"

Not to mention, after the couple of days that Minato and Kushina was out on their mission, they finally came back, and would occasionally check up on the two of you when Kakashi came to tutor you.

"Shut up." He hissed in embarrassment as he opens the door, steps out, and closes it behind him.

You dash to the door and open it before he could leave your sight. "GOODNIGHT SENSEI!!"

You see him go completely stiff before picking up his pace, but not before he muttered a quick 'good night.'

"Hehe. Tsundere." You mutter lightly as you went back to your house and got back to your packet.

You ended up staying up till eleven thirty writing in it before getting tired.

"Time to go to bed I guess." You stretch a bit and changed into your pj's, to tired to do anything else, and flopped into your nice, warm and comfy bed. You instantly fell asleep as soon as your head hit the soft and fluffy pillow, entering a dream. A dream of a past not so long ago.

(Your P.O.V.)

I was just sitting at school talking with Iruka about random things. Talking with him was quite enjoyable really. Everything was at a temporary peace, until the stupid fangirls showed up.

God I wish they would just leave me be already.

"HEY YOU! YEAH YOU! THE GIRL WITH THE STUPID (STYLE) OUTFIT!

I tried my best to ignore them, but that became impossible when they started to circle the desk.

"WE'RE TALKING TO YOU!"

"YEAH, (Y-N)!!"

I sighed.

"What now? Haven't you gotten tired of harassing me already?" I asked boredly as I cocked a brow.

"No. You still have our Kakashi."

"YEAH!"

"Look, what would it take for you to leave me alone, hmm?" I asked as I glanced at them before turning around to the main one. "I really don't want any problems."

"Give us back our Kakashi."

"Or tell us where he is."

"And back off our man!"

'Troublesome humans...'

'Riight?'

"Look. I would love to, BUT I can't."

"WHAT!? AND WHY IS THAT!?"

I held up my fingers and started listing the reasons. "1- I don't have him. 2- I am not permitted to tell you of his location, I don't even know it myself. 3- he's not 'your man', nor is he an object that you can claim or call dibs on. He is a human being with rights and feelings. And lastly reason number 4. It is his choice to be my friend and I'm not just going to end our friendship because you tell me to. " I gave them a deadpanned expression.

"Why I ODDA-!!"

"Every body take there seats." Our sensei interjected.

ThaAank you Noboyuki-sensei!!

I could hear the fangirls practically growling there disapproval. I snickered in response and look back at the teacher, smiling like an idiot. Of course no-one noticed due to my mask.

Have I ever told you how much I love this mask?

Anyways, the teacher began to go on about ninja history and the history of this village. Me being me, zoned out of course because I already knew it. Then I realized that Kakashi might not have so I ended up taking some notes for him.

Time skip

I was now at recess in the tree that Iruka and I now meet in. I was thinking about dropping by Kakashi's house to see what's up when my thoughts where interrupted.

"(Y/n)? Hey, are you okay?"

"Hmm? Oh, yeah. I'm all good. What's up?"

"Nothing, you just seemed to zone out."

"Sorry about that Iruka-chan." I said with a closed-eyes smile.

He blushed a bit before calming down a bit. "What where you thinking about?"

"Nothing much."

As soon as I said that I could hear the fangirls running around looking for me. "They just don't give up.

"You do know that your going to have to confront them sooner or later right?"

"Yeah, but It's too bothersome."

"(Y/N)!"

"Have you found her yet?"

"No."

"Keep on looking!"

I sighed at the sound of the girls still looking for me. "Guess your right..."

Iruka turned to me with a questioning look in his eyes.

"But that time is not now!" I yell as I grab his hand and jumped out of the tree.

"THERE SHE IS GIRLS!!" I could hear one of the girls scream.

"(Y/n)! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Iruka screamed as I pulled him along the playground.

"What? Are you scared?" I smirked at my own comment as I continued to run. I'm feeling particularly random right now and there is only one way that I know of to burn that off. One minute till recess is over, let's see how long it will take before I either tire and get caught, or out run these children and make it to safe base.

"(Y/n)! There right behind us now!!" Iruka yelled in panic.

"Oh?" At this, I suddenly stopped, put Iruka on my back, and went on a full on sprint to the approaching teacher. "SAFE!!" I yell as I stopped right behind Noboyuki-sensei.

He looked at me with a questioning gaze as I, once again, grinned like an idiot under my mask and set a blushing Iruka on the ground. He shoo off any of the thoughts he had and cleared his voice before speaking in a clear voice.

"Recess is over. Everyone back to class!"

The fangirls, just now catching up, was panting and glaring daggers at me. I took deep breaths as I walked to the classroom. My legs felt numb and my back a bit sore, breaths were ragged and I now had a slight headache. I didn't really care all too much though so I continued to walk, brushing all the signs that my body was giving me. I'll rest once back in the classroom. I reassured myself.

Time skip

Class was now over and I had quickly gotten up, gathering my stuff as I did so. Saying a quick goodbye to Iruka, I sped towards the door and dashed out of the school. When I turned around to look behind me, I had sighed when I saw no one there. Sadly, it wasn't till I had walked out f the academy that I had seen the large group of girls with rocks and other dangerous items in their hands.

Great. Just great...Notice the sarcasm.

I could see one of them smirk as she gave a signal. Not long after, they all had begun to aim and through their objects at me.

Silently thanking myself for the training that I had with Minato, which was similar to this, I begun to dodge all of the flying projectiles. Most of them I side stepped or simply moved out of the way without looking at them. The others I had caught and threw back at them whenever I couldn't dodge. There was this one child who had the nerves to throw this large rock at me. Although I would have to give her credit for being able to chuck it that far. Seeing that it was aiming for my face and I had no time to dodge it, I infused my hand with a large amount of chakara and raised it in the direction of which the rock was going to hit and stopped. As soon as it touched my hand, it broke into millions of little pebbles. I slowly looked at the group, a murderous glint glowing in my (e/c) eyes. Once I got the reaction of the girls, who were obviously scared sh!tless, I blinked, returning my focus to the path in front of me, leisurely placing my once chakara in the process.

Once I got a fair distance away I began my plans on checking up on Kakashi.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Dream End~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up to the sound of a very annoying rooster crowing loudly next to my head. Then I realized that it was just my phone. Turning my alarm off, I stretched, did my morning routine, and started on my little packet as I waited for Kakashi to come and pick me up. I had finally finished my packet when I heard a knock on my window. I rushed to my bedroom with the packet in my hand energetically.

"GOOD MORNING KAKASHI!! I BELIEVE YOU OWE SOMEONE A TRIP TO THE DANGO SHOP!!"

He looked to at me as if I was crazy before grabbing the packet out of my hand. Skimming over it, I could tell that he was obviously shocked by it's result.

"How?"

"I had some serious motivation." I grinned as I placed my hands on my hips proudly.

"She stayed up all night trying to finish it."

"H-hey. You didn't have to go and tell him that, Minato-san." I whine. "When did you even ge in here anyways?"

"Not important. Besides, Kakashi, it's rude to keep a girl waiting." Kushina joined out of nowhere.

"I guess I do. We'll go after school."

"ALRIGHT THEN LET'S GOO!" I exclaim as I grab my bag and jump out my window.

"Why don't these kids ever use the front door?"

"Relax, Kushina."

-----

As we walked to school I couldn't think straight. All that was on my mind was dango. I just couldn't wait till I get to finally have some. Even though I've been down here for a while, I haven't really got the chance to experience all the different types of food, meaning that I have been surviving off of home cooked food this whole time. I never minded it though since I loved to cook and my cooking isn't all that bad.

"We're here."

I looked up to see that we were now in front of our classroom door. As we both walked in and took our seats, Rin and Obito came up and greeted us.

"Good morning, Rin-chan, Obito-kun." I said politely. Once they returned the gesture, the four of us began a little conversation about random topics until the teacher came in and started class. Looking out the window, I began to think about dango.
