*~+^ Falling In Love With The Nine-Tailed Beast^+~*

"Thank you for walking me home Naruto."

You had woken up about 30 minutes after you had fallen asleep. Naruto had tried taking off your mask once, so you had hit him in the nose. He left you alone after that. You were awoken to a dog licking your mask? You sat up and seen it was Akumaru, Except he wasn't as small as the last time you seen him.

You got up and attempted to get the dog off of you with no luck. Kiba came running after the hound and pulled him off of you. You would clean your mask later...

You studied the boy in front of you until you seen two other people enter the room. Hinata and Shino walked in. You only knew of them from Shikamaru and what he said they looked like. You stared at all of them confused. "Ah, sorry about him, He likes making new friends.." Kiba said with a closed eye smile. "It's alright," You sighed out. The dog then went over to Naruto who had also woken up to the noise. You would take off your mask after pulling up one like your dad's. They all noticed but played it off besides Naruto. "Woah! Y/N that's the first time I've seen you with out your Anbu mask on.." He noticed your eyes. They were {E/C} and beautiful in the sun. He realized that he was staring after Kiba waved his hand in front of his face. "Earth to Naruto!" He asked the blonde boy. Naruto shook his head and looked at his friends and would talk to them. Not much longer after that as you felt them all staring at you, You looked over and asked: "Is there something wrong with my face or are you all just staring at me for no reason?" They sat there for a minute, Then Naruto spoke up. "Oh right, Guys this is Y/N Hatake. Kakashi sensei's daughter!" He stated as it shocked Kiba and Hinata. "I figured as much, She seemed familiar.." Shino stated. Not as shocked as the other two. "Sense when did Kakashi Sensei have a daughter?" Hinata asked "Whenever my mom gave birth to me almost 16 years ago." You said with a sarcastic tone. "But he was only like 14 when we were born.." Shino added on. "Yeah, I don't really know what happened either, Just that my mom left me with my dad and went to the hidden cloud village." You stated to the group.

It's been about two weeks and your out of the hospital. You were officially assigned to team 7. Your dad had gone on a mission so you had some time to fill. So you went into town. You didn't have your Anbu mask on but you had a mask on. People then started to realize you were Kakashi's daughter. Some children came up to you but their parents pulled them away. 'I guess everyone has figured it out then huh?' You asked yourself as you looked forward ignoring the weird looks you were getting. You then noticed a familiar blonde. You silently hopped he hadn't seen you but you noticed he was with Shikamaru. You sighed and gave in. "Hey Shika!" You stated. This was the first time you've seen him outside of the hospital. He looked away from Naruto and waved at you. You ran up to them and gave Shikamaru a hug. Naruto was still wondering if you two were dating. "I have a question." He stated. You and Shikamaru separated from the hug and looked at him. "What's up Naruto?" Shikamaru asked. "Are, Are you two like, a thing?" He asked quietly. You and Shikamaru looked at each other, both got a bit red and started laughing. Naruto stood there feeling like a idiot. You and Shika thought you may have liked each other that way so you both talked it out and figured it would be better to not get together. That's why you both were kinda red. "So that's a no?" He asked while you two were still laughing. After another minute you took a deep breath and wiped your tears away. "No, Him and I are not together, But we did both like each other at one point." You stated. You though your feeling were still there and his had gone. But his were there too. "Ah, Okay. I was wondering cause your always together and hug at some point." He said while scratching the back of his neck.

You joined the two until about 7 pm. "I'm going to head home, See you two tomorrow." You stated, Yawning a bit. Shikamaru nodded and started walking away. Naruto stayed. "I can walk you home?" He offered. You looked back at him. "Hm, Sure? I don't mind." You stated pausing your walking. He got excited and told Shikamaru he would catch up with him later. He joined your side and started walking you home. It was silent at the beginning of the walk, Until the two of you got to talking. "So your telling me, You went and trained with Gaara because you have part of the Shikaku in you, and You also worked with the pervy sage?" He asked. "Yes I worked with Master Jiriya and I'm about to train with Lady Tsunade." You stated. He was even more shocked.

You two talked the rest of the way home. It was just little things like your favorite colors, food, and what not. You both stopped Infront of you and your dad's place. You both just got a house together and you had to unpack tonight cause you were training with Tsunade tomorrow. "Thanks for walking me home Naruto." You stated with a smile on your face. "I-It was no problem." He said blushing a bit, But you couldn't tell as it was a bit darker outside. You said goodbye and headed inside. You then began panicking. His smile was so cute and you couldn't hold it in much longer. You headed to your room to unpack. You started emptying boxes when there was a knock on the door. "Hm, Who is that?" You asked yourself as you got up to answer the door.
