A/n: The lyrics used Not about Angels by Birdy ( in Bold and Italic). You can listen to it while you're reading for better vibe too.

"I con people for a living.
Darling, I'm your pretty, little liar."

She groaned, throwing the blankets off. She hadn't been in a good mood for a while now. "Oh, come on. I just peed like fifteen minutes ago." But no one in the empty house could hear her grumbling.

Nhira had tried to hold it into no avail, crickets chirped deep in the night. Kakashi had been away for a little more than a week. She sluggishly walked towards the toilet cursing the coffee table that hit her foot, almost kicking it away.

"Oh, right. Not my furniture." Nhira in her half-asleep state pointed towards the inanimate object, cursing it out and declaring she'd burn it someday. Then she trudged off to her original purpose.

She and Team Seven had been alternating regular training as they did under Kakashi's guidance. On a yellow notebook, she jot down the things she'd noticed about Naruto, Sakura's on a pink one and Sasuke on a black notebook.

After each session, she'd tell them what to improve and, "You did a great job today!" With a cheerful smile. 'Naruto has a lot to work on, but it isn't actually that he's dim it's just that no one has taken the time to actually teach him so right now, he needs to relearn the basics.'

She scratched off the original plan she'd had in training Naruto. A deep frown covered her face, etching lines on her skin. She grew more irritated as she thought about it.

'What were the elders doing? Especially the old man, no, his teachers at the Academy. God, I'm not sending my kids there. I'll just homeschool them if it's like this. From the start,'

Her grip on the pencil tightened, she relaxed just before she could snap it in two. 'They should've taught him properly, educational institution? What joke. That's the problem, they didn't teach him anything. I wonder if they even tried to. Ha, well, nothing it can do. I'll revise the plan.'

She watched Sakura too, she had them practising clone-making and transformation jutsu. Making them do the jutsus over and over and over. She jotted down fewer things than she had with Naruto.

'Kakashi was right. Her chakra control is good. Maybe I can help her some. Her mentality is what worries me, at this point, she'll be a damsel in distress at the most critical moments. Okay, I'll work on that.

Lastly,'

Her eyes, cat like observed the Uchiha who performed the jutsus almost perfectly. 'He's a genius alright. But, that's what's hindering his growth, his going too fast. Though, my concern is... His outlook.'

Vengeance driven, the cold rage filled eyes of the young boy. Every one knew the story, Nhira too, knew it well. 'Truth is, he's hasty. I can't fault his motivation but, that heavy heart of his will weigh him down.'

At that, seeing Sasuke's current level of skill she decided to try and remedy his dour personality first in hopes of saving his soul from the flames of revenge he'd undoubtedly burn in in the pursuit of his goal.

'And the other things, I'll let Kakashi handle.'

She treated them to a meal each day too after every hour of playing people watching and by the afternoon if they finished early, let them play on their own sometimes she, herself, dragged them to the playground smiling as they played like kids again.

By the second week of their silver haired teacher's absence, they noticed Nhira- how tired she had become lately. She always seemed exhausted and stressed, which at that point they thought they caused and behaved even more.
