It's almost seven in the evening. The breeze is getting colder that Katoka felt shivering a little bit. She spent her afternoon drinking in an Izakaya after leaving Iruka at the academy.

She basically gave up on teasing Iruka to visit Kakashi since she felt like pushing a boulder with her pinky finger.

" Where should I please myself next? "
Katoka asked herself as she turned around searching for another place or store to go until someone accidentally bumped into her,
" Oh, I'm sorry."

Unfazed. Katoka didn't mind the gloomy man who quickly apologized after bumping her. Not for long as she figured out where she should be going to have fun once again.

Immediately, she turned around and realized that the man already disappeared in the street, helplessly she grinned like a lunatic as excitement creeped inside her.

" It's been awhile since I have done a hunt. Seems interesting to search the glittering streets of Konoha village! "

In a blink of an eye, Iruka happened to escort Kakashi to his place. Since Iruka saw that Kakashi seemed to be having difficulty with walking he decided to see him home. Upon arriving at Kakashi's front door.

" Kakashi-san, please do be careful since you're not fully healed. I hope you recover fast. "
At once, Iruka took off his supporting hand on Kakashi's arm.

" What do you mean?"
Baffled. Kakashi asked as he opened his door.

" Eh? I mean that-"

" Are you leaving already? You haven't even come inside and you're already bidding farewell to me, Iruka-sensei?"
Suddenly, Kakashi stumbled on his feet he nearly fall if not for Iruka's swift action of grabbing him fast.

" Are you okay??"
Iruka worriedly asked,

" I'm okay even though my wounds are still throbbing... "
Kakashi slowly stood up straight then gently took off his arms from Iruka's hold. Like a withering twig, Kakashi barely walk inside as he's murmuring painful grunts worrying Iruka to no end.

" I think I can manage, Iruka-sensei although my head is starting to throb again and I think I'm hungry but I can't cook due to my throbbing head, only if someone would stay with me at the moment and help me."
Hearing Kakashi's breaking voice is like thorns pricking Iruka. He clearly saw the difficulty Kakashi is enduring. He wanna help but he's afraid to be intruding too much yet all of a sudden he called out to him,
" Kakashi-san? Er.. if you would let me... I mean, I wanna be of help but..."

" But what, Iruka-sensei?"
Kakashi reeled to the flustered Iruka.

" Uh but I'm not sure myself if I'd be useful to you and I don't know how to cook a proper meal, only instant ramen but I really wanna support you now, Kakashi-san!"
At once, Kakashi smiled and replied gently,

" You're more than enough to help me, Iruka-sensei. Please come in."

Katoka decided to ran in the roofs while scanning the area, her senses are sharper than usual from the fact that she realized that the person she's searching seemed to be not ordinary. Every people possessed a unique scent, Katoka can recall a certain scent even if she only smelled it for a split second as long as she encountered it close and recognized its scent. Roughly twenty minutes passed and she's still searching the man's scent.

" That man can't be too far. "
Afterwards, Katoka jumped off and continued her hunt. Until not for long and the scent she's searching finally reached her nose once again.

She smirk as she finally descended down from the roofs and swiftly directed herself into a tavern. Before entering the tavern, she dusted and fixed her clothes first, organizing properly her loose headscarf from quickly running awhile afterwards, pushed the door to open.

Instantly, the blinding light of the inside welcomed Katoka. She scanned her sharp eyes around to look for someone specifically and not for long as she finally saw the rascal who snatched off her purse. In a corner table where the light is dimmed, she sat and observed the oblivious man who's busy serving drinks to every table. It's noisy and merry, everyone is clearly having a good time except for Katoka who's sternly observing and contemplating what she'll do with the rascal who stole her purse.

Should she cut off his fingers?
Should she inflict an internal wound for him to suffer for a month?
Or how about breaking off his ankle?

In less than few minutes and Katoka was drawn to observe the man who's happily serving drinks for the customers. He would smile or laugh while serving and sometimes would strike a conversation in purpose of entertaining the people more.

" How can someone smile so brightly after doing some horrendous things? Tsk." 
Katoka said to herself while keeping an eye to the man until all of a sudden, their eyes met.

It was a split second but Katoka confirmed that it could be the reason as to why the man he's observing immediately returned the serving plate and climbed up to the stairs.

Alarmed. Katoka stood and casually followed to the second floor of the tavern. The second floor are filled with rooms which mostly travellers would occupy to stay for the night.

Her steps were lighter than the feather, it's keeping her alert since she knew that the more she gazes at the man and the more there's something about him that seems vague to the point of being mystical.

" But what could that be? "
Katoka asked inwardly while she's walking to the long narrow hallway of the second floor until she failed to noticed the hand that suddenly slipped through one of the doors and swiftly grabbed her in the arm.

The loud slamming of the door resonated in the silent hallway. Katoka was stunned from the invisible presence, it was too late for her to react nor defend.

She found herself being pressed by broad chest and wide shoulders as its arms pinned from both sides of the wall.

" What the-!"
Katoka was about spit some curse words when she heard the almost inaudible chuckle of the man that is pinning her from the wall.

" I was glad it worked. "
It was a confusing statement that rendered Katoka speechless, she looked up to measure gaze with the bold man in front of her. But upon looking up, Katoka got stunned her jaw almost dropped as what she saw were glowing yellow eyes- and it was very familiar to her because those eyes are almost similar to hers.

" So that's what you mean... You cunning fox. "
