third chapter

The light of the evening sun made its way through the thick branches of the forest. It lay like a golden carpet on the earth and made the lake glitter as if there were thousands of jewels in the water. The soft light fell on Uriko's face and made her hair shine. She had already pulled the hairpins out of her hair in the apartment, and so her waist-length hair fell over her face and hung from the branch. She lay there and fell asleep. Eyes closed, but still a smile on his face. That's how he found her.
Satoshi Atsuko, a Chu-Nin from Konoha-Gakure, prowled through the forest. Without a fixed goal. But then the sleeping beauty caught his eye. He could tell from afar that she was a shinobi. Satoshi jumped up to her on the branch and eyed her.// She's pretty ... is she passed out? Maybe she was attacked and couldn't defend herself ... //
He tried to wake her up.
"Young lady…?"
Uriko opened his eyes and looked at him. Satoshi blushed slightly. The girl straightened up and pushed the strands of hair back from her face.
"Who are you?"
She looked at him.
"S-satoshi Atsuko. Who do I have the pleasure with?"
"My name is Uriko Haruno."
"What are you doing here?"
"I went for a walk until tiredness overcame me."
"You should be a little more careful. A beautiful girl all alone in the woods ..."
Uriko blushed a little. Did he just say beautiful?
"You're exaggerating!"
He smiled at her.
"No. I only say what I see and I really will find you
beautiful!"
Uriko sighed.
// As long as HE doesn't say it, this word doesn't matter ... //
She looked at the forest floor in silence.
Satoshi watched them. Suddenly Uriko startled.
"Oh no! The sensei is waiting for me!"She jumped off the branch.
"I'm saying goodbye now."
She bowed, turned and was about to leave, when Satoshi called for her.
"Hey!"
She turned around.
"Can we meet again?"
Uriko smiled and nodded.
"Clear…!"
"Well, I'll be waiting for you here tomorrow!"
Uriko turned and ran back to the village. She pulled the slip of paper with Kakashi's address out of her pocket.
// Hmm ... it should be just around the corner ... //
She quickly tied her hair in a ponytail and stood panting in front of Kakashi's house. Uriko rang the bell. Once. Twice. Nothing happened. She checked her watch.
// It's twenty past eight ... isn't he there? //
Then she heard steps behind her. Kakashi stood behind her, panting.
"I'm sorry. I'm late ... I hope you didn't have to wait that long ..."
She shook her head.
"No, I'm late too."
"Well then…"
He unlocked the door and stepped aside.
"If I may ask ..."Uriko went in and looked around. He must have been on the road a lot. There were lots of maps on the walls and photos of places she had never been to.
Kakashi closed the door behind her. He went into the living room and told Uriko to follow him.
She padded after him to the living room. There he sat down on the couch and asked her to sit across from him, which she did.
// OMG! I'm sure I'll run like a tomato ... û /// û //, she thought as Kakashi looked at her. His gaze stayed on her chucks again.
"Starting tomorrow, you will wear sandals like the others!"
She looked at him.
"Why? My old masters never objected. Chucks are also much more comfortable ..."
"I make the rules here. And I have something against Chucks."
She nodded.
"Roger that."
"Good. And now, I want you to tell me something about yourself. What you like and what you don't like. Your hobbies, and your dreams for the future."
"Okay, I like all kinds of martial arts, preferably wrestling.What I do not like? Guys who see women and girls only as objects and not as people of equal value ... ", her glance fell briefly on Kakashi's book," My hobbies are: Ninja training, martial arts, and drawing. I have not yet thought about my dream for the future ... "
// Actually yes ... but that would be embarrassing now ... o /// o //
"Good. Do you have any experience with class" A "assignments?"
She shook her head.
"No. How then?"
"Could have been. I want you to come to the agreed meeting point with Sakura tomorrow. You should watch a Jou-Nin at work. And training the Ge-Nins is my job at the moment. To get back to your hobbies. Martial arts of all kinds. Did you do anything special? "
Uriko nodded.
"Yes. I have the first dan in karate and judo. I have also won several tournaments in kung-fu, kickboxing, Thai boxing, kendo, karate and judo. I was even national champion.""What is your preferred technique?"
"The Kataguruma, and the Seoi-nage-Ippon, with faked tsuri-komi-goshi."
Kakashi looked at her and Uriko laughed. She could tell from his look that he only understood 'train station'. Then Kakashi got up.
"Good, then try the throws on me ..."
"Sensei Kakashi ... you really want me to ..."
"Yes…"
He turned and took her to a room where there wasn't much furniture. He probably used it as a training room.
"Good. Then start. All you have to do is perform one technique. If I can block it, I'll send you back to the Chu-Nins."

She nodded and assumed her fighting stance. Uriko waited for Kakashi to take the first step. And then he did it too. He reached out with his fist and wanted to hit her at head height, but Uriko slid his torso to the side and Kakashi missed her. Uriko grabbed his left arm, and used his speed to lift him onto her shoulder.With her left arm she grabbed his left leg and pushed him a little higher. For a split second, Kakashi lay on her shoulders. Then she tossed it over her right shoulder. Kakashi landed roughly on the floor and lay on his back. Uriko held a kunai to his throat. Then she quickly put it away.
"Sorry. That was a reflex ...", she held out her hand to help him up.
"What technique was that?" He asked as he stood up.
"That was the Kataguruma. And where it comes from, there is more."
"Good to know ...", he rubbed his back, "well, I don't want to mess with you ... that hurt ..."
"Forgiveness…"
"Never mind ^^"
Kakashi turned and left the practice room. Uriko followed him.
"Sensei ..."
"Yes? "
"I wanted to ask if I can go, because I still have a lot to do ..."
"First you have to do me a favor!"
"Which would be?"
"You have to cook this afternoon's curry for me again.Because I can't cook! ^ - ^ "
// What does he take me for ?! //
Kakashi looked at her, and put on a dachshund look.
"Okay ... I'll do it ..."
// That's how you always get me. -_- Sakura always does that too ... whether he got the trick from her? //
"Where is the kitchen? "
"There ^^"
He took her to the kitchen and she started preparing the curry. Kakashi watched her make the rice.
// Thank you Sakura ^ - ^ That really works ... oÔ Nice neck ... //
Uriko already started with the curry. Kakashi sat on a chair and watched her.
// Can he look elsewhere? That'll be embarrassing ... ó /// ò //
"OUCH!"
Uriko cut his finger. Kakashi jumped up and went to her. He just shook his head when she put her finger in her mouth to lick the blood off.
"What kind of things are you doing ...? Uû", he got a first aid kit from the closet and cut a plaster for her.
"You are a real clumsy man ..."
// But that's what makes her so cute too!^ - ^ //
"Show it to me! "
He put the plaster on her wound.
Uriko looked at him.
// ARGH! HE'S TOO CLOSE AGAIN !!! Definitely I'll start again !!! HOW EMBARRASSING! O /// O //
When Kakashi saw the discoloration of her face, he started to laugh.
"You know what? I think you have a crush on me! But that's no wonder, as good as I look ..." (No, he's not conceited ...)
"That is what you would like to get! "
"Denial doesn't help you now either ..."
"Pah! Who would fall in love with you ?!" // Except for me ... //
Kakashi pulled her close and hugged her.
"You are really cute, do you know that?"
"W-w-what ...?"
// Am I in the wrong movie? @ //// @ //
He looked at her.
"What's that? Nosebleed?"
Uriko put his hand over his nose.
//Damn it! //
He started laughing and let go of her.
"Go wash your blood away ... The bathroom is over there ..."
Uriko ran into the bathroom.
// How embarrassing was that? OMG! That can only happen to me!And he's just kidding ... //
"URIKO! THE CURRY IS BURNING!"
Kakashi's voice broke the silence. Uriko had washed away the blood and went back into the kitchen.
"You could at least have taken it off the stove ..."
"How should I know that? "
"You're in luck! You can still save the curry ..."
Uriko continued to tinker with the food. It was very quiet. You could hear the hands of the old grandfather clock running across the clock face. They had been silent for five minutes.
"About earlier ... I'm sorry ..."
Uriko turned to him.
"What are you sorry for? "
"That I just hugged you like that. I should have asked ..."
"... I-it's okay ..."
Uriko took the curry off the stove.
"Finished…"
She put it on the table.
"You can go now if you want ..."
Uriko looked at the clock. It was almost 9 p.m. She nodded.
"Sakura is probably already worried ... See you tomorrow Sensei ..."
She bowed to him and then left the house.

On the way home she was lost in thought.She kept thinking about what had just happened. She carried her feet through the streets without paying any attention to where she was going. Before she knew it, she was standing in front of Satomi's house. Satomi had been a partner of Uriko when she was Chu-Nin. And in time, Satomi became her best friend. She was four years older than Uriko, and yet they understood each other without words. Should she tell Satomi about it? About falling head over heels in love with a man who was at least ten years her senior? And that this man also became her teacher? Should she tell
