Chapter 2: Bowl of noodles and a pair of chopsticks

Kakashi shuffled them into the shop, Naruto already ordering food. The usual four bowls of ramen: Pork, chicken, shrimp and beef.

“Hey! I hope your ordering for all of us! The limits four bowls!” Kakashi spoke sternly and quickly. Naruto nodded quickly and waited with chopsticks in hand.

“Shrimp ramen in the cup with a bit of spice and a glass of water.” Ren ordered “Oh and a plate of sushi please.” she added. Kakashi laughed watching her then raised a finger ordering the same without a word spoken. The trio set at the end of the bar waiting on lunch anxiously to get their food, Sakura in the center of the two boys. Ren smiled at them. They were such characters. Naruto was a funny show odd yet he was cute in a ’squeeze the cheeks’ way. Sakura was one who studied a lot to make up for some of her weaknesses. Naruto had a crush on her yet she hated him for that but in a way she still cared for him. Sasuke, he’s a quiet one but very strong, very, very strong in-fact. Sakura had the biggest crush on him because of that, maybe she believes there’s a soft side to him beyond the strong exterior.

The food was brought quickly after order, Naruto quickly wolfed down the first bowl real fast as they set it down in front of him. Kakashi stared at him for a moment before turning back to Ren who was picking at her sushi, but she hadn’t even taken her mask off yet. She stared down at her plate unsure what to say or if she should start eating. “You okay?” Kakashi asked leaning his head down next to hers. His mask sliding off his face, then leaning in and pulling her mask down to just be nice and let her breath fresh air.

Ren’s hand quickly flew up and covered her cheek. “Yeah, I’m fine. I just was wondering if you wouldn’t mind letting me stay at your house tonight…” She choked a bit turning her face away so he couldn’t see her face.

“Of course you can! My house is your home! I wouldn’t think twice about letting you stay.” He chuckled giving her a soft smile then stopping to move his hand to her jaw and softly turning her head toward him to look at her cheek. It was scared badly as was her eye on the left just like his, but his eye was covered by his headband. His eyes lifted as he scanned over the scars. She looked up at him with innocent eyes as she had always done. “ A little trouble, huh?” he jeered rubbing his thumb softly along the scars. She nodded against his hand then moved out of his touch.

Sasuke and Sakura stared at Naruto who was working on his third bowl. The chopsticks clicked fast as he slurped at his chicken ramen. “How does he eat so much?“ Sasuke asked quietly looking over Sakura’s shoulder

“ I don’t know…” she replied turning back to her plate of spring rolls, Sasuke still looking at him then turning to her.

“Hey, uh… um… do you want to go train? I was wondering if you could help me with chakara. You seem to be good at it…and I kind of suck.: he whisper making Sakura choaked on her food. She hadn’t ever expected him to ask her that. Now she felt supirior to Ino. ’Yes!” she thought

“ Uh, sure. Want to go now?” she asked setting down what food she couldn’t finish, then taking a sip of her drink. He nodded and stood looking to his sensei.

“Later sensei. Thanks for lunch. Nice to meet you Ren.” he spoke as he walked out of the shop with Sakura fallowing right behind him, running into Hinata as they were heading out, Sakura waving to her as she was entering the shop.

Hinata spotted Naruto wolfing down ramen so she set next to him with a slight blush on her cheeks “Hey Naruto…” she whispered in her dove tone voice. He looked up at her, noodles still hanging out of his mouth a bit. Quickly he swallowed slurping them into his mouth.

“ Hey Hina, how are you?” he greeted making her blush a bit more and simply replying with ‘good’. Naruto smiled as he watched her order ramen for herself, keeping his eye on her blushes.

Ren watched the pink haired ninja walk out with the dark haired one, making her smile for a moment. “They make a cute couple, huh?” Kakashi interrupted her thought.

“Yes they do. They are perfect for each other.” She laughed looking over to Naruto and the purple haired girl, Hinata. “ So do they.” she nodded toward the two. He agreed with a nod.

“Yep, Sakura tries everything to get Sasuke to notice her and I guess it has finally worked this time. Hina loves Naruto but he has a massive crush on Sakura who knows about it but wont even give him the time of day. He doesn’t know Hina loves him so much because she is so shy, but they have their sparks every now and then.” he explained to Ren who was watching the couple, Naruto and Hinata at the end of the bar.

After most of the food that they had ordered was gone and Naruto let out a loud burp form his gut it had gotten late. It was about 6 p.m. Hina sitting still next to him giggled as he had burped. Kakashi and Ren had been talking about what had happened with the scar she had. Turns out she had gotten caught up with some bad people in the land hidden in sound witch wasn’t surprising to him. Naruto and Hinata said their goodbye’s to them as the left, Ren smiled at that.

Kakashi paid for the food witch cost him a pretty penny but it was ell worth it, then ushered Ren out of the shop. They made their way down the village looking at what had changed since she hand been gone. They talked and pointed out things to each other that reminded them of their child hood.” Ya’ know I bet master hokage would love to see you once again.” he teased laughing and remembering how she use to get into so much trouble and he would have to bail her out . She had always managed to get on master hokage’s last nerve. In a way he had enjoyed getting her out of trouble.

They were soon to arrive at Kakashi’s house witch was looking pretty good. They both were greeted at the door by a bunch of dogs ( the dogs from once of Kakashi’s jutsus). The largest one tackled Ren and licked her face with his massive wet tongue. “Yeah, I missed you too!” she laughed trying to push the large dog off of her, Kakashi trying to help. With success they finally made it into the rest of his house.

“All of your things are still in the same places. Everything down to the last drop of shampoo.” he noted remembering how he use to love the smell of her crape shampoo that went well with the color of her hair. It always made him happy to smell that in her hair.

“That’s good. I think I’ll go take a shower if you don’t mind.” she thought aloud as if she had read his mind about the shampoo. She left him with a smile and disappeared into the bathroom down the hall. Kakashi was left stunned standing there then he shook his head quickly to get his mind out of the clouds and walked to his bedroom across from the bathroom. Throwing off his vest and gloves, pulling his sleeves up and flopping down on his bed. He let out a hard tired sigh threw his mask that was much needed.

“Where are the towels?” he herd a yell from the shower.

“ On the rack!” he replied laughing and covering his head with a pillow for a moment then laying it at his side. “She always was like that. I’m glad your back Ren…” he whispered to himself watching the stars outside hi window remembering how they would sit on the roof, pointing out stars here and there, teaching each other what they ment. He remembered how he had taught her to run across rooftops and jump into the forest at the edge of the village.

He smiled at his thoughts under his mask, thinking back on how she got into so much trouble and how he had to get her out of it. Some how she reminded him of Naruto. What fun they had as children. They would walk threw the path in the forest admiring her new headband when she turned ten.

(Flashback)****

“Kakashi?” Reina asked looking up at him giving him a sweet smile. He looked down at the young one who was taking three steps for ever one he took.

“Yes, Reina?” he replied giving her a smile in return.

“ When will I become as strong as you?” she asked once more looking down at the headband in her hands that she had earned.

“Well that depends… It takes many a long time to ever even become a ninja much less a journey-man. It takes a while and I’m surprised you have made ninja at your age” he chuckled softly stopping and bending down to her height. She gave him the same innocent, sad eyes as she always gave when she didn’t understand totally

“But, but Kashi. You were a shinobie by the time you were half my age.” Reina wined, pouting and sticking out her bottom lip, giving him her best puppy face all she could.

“Oh Reina, It takes time. If you would like I can train you. I’ll teach you all I know. Is that okay?” he chuckled still explaining to her the best he could. Finally after mulling it over for a few moments she agreed with a nod. He smiled and picked her up placing her on his shoulders. “Okay, we’ll start now!” He laughed running off with her on his shoulders, holding on to her legs. Sounds of Reina’s giggles could be heard throughout the forest as she clung to his neck with her legs and arms telling him to run faster.****

Kakashi sighed remembering still how much he loved her. She had grown so much since then, making her look as beautiful as ever.

Ren slowly stepped out of the shower wrapping a towel around her body. Her wet hair would be brushed with one of Kakashi’s brushes, the usual metallic purple/silver hair dripped wet onto her tribal tattooed chest. Slowly she took her sticks and wrapped her hair up and stuck it still in place. Smiling she opened the door stepping out into the cool air that surrounded her wet skin. Kakashi set up quickly as he heard the door open, waking him up out of his day dream. Blinking he watched her walk into her room, looking over her tattoos that glistened with water drops. She moved to his fresh and opened the drawer pulling out some of her old clothes. She stared at them for a bit and thought “I don’t think these will fit me anymore… Can I barrow some clothes to sleep in Kashi?” she asked in a cute voice and she had even called him ’Kashi’ again.
