Chapter: When two fronts collide!

Misaki had watched him make dinner and still didn't know what she was sitting in front of. She looked searchingly at her soup with the noodles, where she probably really didn't know what to eat there. "You don't like it," asked Kakashi. She shrugged her shoulders. "It's okay, you can't like everything. Would you like something else?" She looked at him and said: "No, that's not it. I, um, don't know what that ... is supposed to be." the next moment she bowed her head and blushed: "And I think that sounds stupid now, because it is sure to be eaten a lot ... here in Konoha." But, as you know, trying is more important than studying, isn't it? Watch out, I'll show you how to eat something like that. "He got up and stood behind her. Then he took her right hand and asked: “You're right-handed, aren't you?” She nodded. "Good ..." He showed her how to hold the chopsticks and how to eat something with them. "And then you have to slurp ..." "Why slurp", she asked confused. "Well, that's a compliment to the chef, you know. I mean, you don't have to do that, but that's a tradition." The first attempts after her 'how to eat ramen class' went still quite off the mark. Once she hadn't been able to hold the noodles properly and they slapped her cloak. She swore softly to herself. "Well then, get up ...", Kakashi smiled. He took the cloak from her and only now discovered the huge pink fan on her back.

When he had put the cloak in the laundry, he went back into the kitchen. Carefully he asked: "What ... is that?" He pointed his finger at her back and she understood. "Oh, you mean that! This is my fan." "But it is not to be used for blowing air, is it?" She smiled and continued: "No, you use it in a fight." He looked her up and down, examined her whole body.She blushed violently and asked, “W-what is it?” Feeling uncomfortable, she bowed her head. Kakashi found his way back to reality and replied: “I'm only just seeing your decorated clothes. Isn't that too conspicuous?” Offended, she replied: “I always mean if you don't like it, don't look!” “No, you understand that wrong, "said Kakashi. "I mean, if you're hiding from enemies or something. Then clothes like that are impractical ..." She looked at him again and blushed: "A-oh ... actually, yes, but ... well. .. that's because ... well ... "She bowed her head. She didn't mean to say that she actually had a lot of wealth and that she came from a noble family from Suna. "If you don't want to say anything, you'd better leave it. I'm not forcing you to do anything ..."

Soon she was faced with the decision: “What should I wear to sleep?” She didn't have any sleeping clothes with her. So she called, only wrapped in a towel, since she had already showered, to Kakashi. He soon came in through the door and then saw her looking at him helplessly. “Has something happened ...?” You could tell that he had difficulty paying attention to her face. After all, he was only a man! She turned red again and said: "I don't know what to wear ..." "Then just stay like that," thought Kakashi cheekily and grinned to himself. Misaki seemed to notice that and turned even redder. He returned to reality and cleared his throat. "So, wait a minute ..." He was back after a few seconds and handed her a dark blue sweater. He waited outside for her to get dressed. Then she came out and stood a little nervous in front of him. It was a little short and she stuttered: "Actually, um ..." "What actually," asked Kakashi. She bowed her head. "Well, usually, um, I sleep without ..." She swallowed. "Underwear," asked Kakashi. She nodded and bit her lip."It's okay ... I'll get you something, provided you are satisfied with a boxer ...?" She nodded again and smiled at him.

When she finally finished, Kakashi said she could go to bed and try to sleep. He still had something to do. So she went up. But before she went to bed, she looked out the window. She sighed at the sight of the twinkling stars under which she would most like to lie outside. But she honestly had to admit that she had a roof over her head here. Supplies were provided and it was warm. What more did she want? Finally she decided not to go to bed and went down the stairs. Kakashi heard her but pretended not to know anything. She went to the door and unlocked it. Kakashi didn't know what to do, so he just stood at the door of the living room and watched her. She knelt on the floor and tinkered around there somehow. Kakashi stood behind her unnoticed and then asked: “What are you doing?” She started and turned around. Then she bowed her head and held out his key. Kakashi took it and stuttered: "A-oh ... d-thank you ..." Then he cleared his throat again and went into the house. He was about to lock when Misaki pushed in between. "May I," she asked with an innocent expression and a low voice. Kakashi just looked at her questioningly and then let her do it. She locked the door and then turned back to him. “When are you finished with your work?” He replied, “I just finished. Why?” She bowed her head and was a bit ashamed. "I can't sleep. And then I remembered the key and I thought I'd get it to do you a favor and ... yes ..." "It's okay. You were brave, you Sneaking out without permission. "" Yeah, I really didn't want you to think wrong and to be honest I don't know why I'm here either.They sat down in the living room again. Kakashi asked: "What do you mean: 'You don't know why you are here'?" Misaki explained calmly: "Well, I'm from Suna and have been pretty much everywhere. I like to travel and I thought , I'm going to Konoha. "" All well and good, "said Kakashi," but did you have to put the guards out of action? "She bowed her head and continued:" Yes, I had to. Otherwise I wouldn't be Come in. Who would you say willingly let a dark figure into the city, tell me? Many other cities never had a protective wall and if they did, I got in without difficulty. And since I hear and see a lot when I travel like that, I noticed that you have extra guards here. "" But there are reasons for all of this ... "" What should I have done ?! "She got up and was angry that he didn't understand her. “I had to find shelter somewhere, preferably in a big city that is well protected from robberies!” Kakashi got up and mumbled: “Take it easy, Misaki ...” He put a hand on her shoulder. She slapped his hand away and continued to speak loudly: "Why does everyone always think that I can't cope on my own ?! I had no bad plans at all and didn't hurt the guards at all! And yet I'm now in trouble with this stupid, intrusive Goat! And right here I thought that I would have peace, but- "Kakashi took her in his arms. He had looked her in the eye pityingly the whole time. She tore herself free and ran out into the cold. He heard her start crying. He often called after her and ran after her, but at some point he lost sight of her.

She left town barefoot and crying. She still had her fan and her clothes with Kakashi. And she didn't want to go back now. The guards looked after her confused and shook their heads questioningly, looked at each other questioningly.Then Kakashi came running. At least he was still wearing shoes, but was still in his sleeping clothes. He asked: “Did a little girl just walk past here ?!” One of the guards said: “Yes, she's out in the forest.” Without letting him speak, he ran off. He cursed to himself and reproached himself for having given her some.

Misaki stopped in a clearing with a water source. The moon shone mysteriously through the thick leaves and its light fell on the crying girl. She dropped to her knees and hid her face in her hands. She sobbed softly into the silence of the night that surrounded her. Even the birds didn't make a sound. It wasn't long before someone came. She heard footsteps. But she didn't pick up a voice. Suddenly there was a crash in the bushes behind her. She took up a fighting stance and looked towards the bush with her tearful eyes. "Who's there?" She asked in a strong voice. She had to pull herself together not to cry again. The bushes moved and she clenched her fists in front of her body. Then she ran towards the bushes and lunged at her enemy. She managed to push him to the ground, but stopped just before she struck. She looked into the frightened face of one of Kakashi's students. "What are you doing here," she asked roughly and got up. "I trained of course," Naruto replied with a proud grin on his face. She pretended not to have noticed him and went back to the source. The river continued to meander towards their home. She looked sadly at the floor. "And what about you?" Asked Naruto when he caught up with her. She did not answer. He nudged her again and again and asked: "Tell me, are you still alive?"

Kakashi stopped behind a bush and thought, 'I knew this whole thing was going to go wrong and she was going to leave! Why did I have to take it with me too ?! My face ... <"Now stop it," shouted a familiar voice.He slowly looked out from behind the bush and saw Naruto and Misaki there. Misaki pushed Naruto aside. But he didn't give up and said: "Only when you tell me what's going on. And why are you wearing Sensei Kakashi's clothes? I don't want to think anything wrong, but you ... well ... love each other very much Had? "He started to laugh and you could see that Misaki was blushing again.

She glared at him and this time pushed him towards the water. What she hadn't expected was that he would cling to her and pull her with him. They both fell into the water. Since it was a flat spot they caught, they didn't get wet all over the place. Naruto was on his back and Misaki on top of him. Almost so that the tips of their noses touched. "No, we don't, Naruto, but as I can see, you guys are really in love at the moment ...", said Kakashi, who had meanwhile joined them. They both got up suddenly and Misaki left again. Kakashi grabbed her arm and pulled her towards
