From my seat on the roof top of my apartment, I could see the whole town perfectly. It was smack-dab in the middle of everything. The lights were beautiful at night, so peaceful, it was like you were in a different world. Different animals came out to lurk, bugs and insects gracefully danced in the sky. Konoha was such a better place at night, no fighting, no missions, just relaxation and my favorite book, Icha Icha Paradise. I looked up at the night sky, at the stars, at the moon. They were my favorite out of everything that came out of this darkness that is night. They were so relaxing, just floating there in the sky, not bothering anyone, but watching over all. When I looked up at the night sky all my troubles fell away and I felt safe, like I could do anything.

I would come out here every night and sit, just to relax or to get my mind of something that was troubling me. That something was normally more of a someone, Kakashi Hatake, the copy cat ninja of Konoha. He was like me in a way. Alone. He, however, doesn't shut  everyone out of his life, like I do. He just smiles and socializes with everyone, where as I keep to myself and never let anyone in. You can't trust anyone in life, men and boys especially. That's what I use to think, but not anymore, thanks to Kakashi and Naruto. Naruto, my little fox, he was like a little brother to me. I hated when people would make fun of him or be mean to him just because of what the fourth did. It wasn't his fault, he didn't want to be like that, so why would people be so cruel? Because people only care about themselves and their own lives.

The sun was starting to peak out over the horizon, casting an eery glow around everything. Was I really out here all night thinking? It was too early to go to sleep, I would have to get up in another half and hour anyway. Oh well, I've gone without sleep before, I could do it again. I jumped down from the roof, five stories above the ground, and made my way to the training grounds. I loved it there in the morning, it was so peaceful, I preferred to train alone. I was used to it, no one would ever train with me when I was little, not even my father. I stopped walking to shake my head back and forth to clear my mind, I had to focus.

I walked over to an empty tree with a kunai target bored tied on it. There were leftover kunai's in it, none even close to the bull's eye, a Genin I'd assume. The knot that held the circular board to the tree was frayed and looked like it was about to fall off. It would do, all the training equipment looked like that, in fact this was one of the nicer ones. I took about fifty paces back and unzipped my weapon pouch tied around my right leg. I reached in and took out three kunai's and two shuriken. Pulling my arm back into position, I released the weapons, all five hit their marks. It wasn't that hard, I'd been doing that for years. As I was about to grab more I felt someone's chakra from behind me and I froze.

I quickly whipped around and send four Kunais with paper bombs attached soaring at the unknown person. The loud Boom! I'm sure woke everyone up in a five-mile radius of the small park. I waited for the smoke to clear so I could see who dare to sneak up on me. When it did though, no one was there, just some broken branches on the ground above a black burn mark. I put my guard up and sensed their chakra behind me. When did they get there? I turned back around to the way I was facing before, ready to attack. I stopped myself though when I saw a familiar silver-haired Jounin leaning against the tree that held the target. He was reading one of his Icha Icha Paradise books, it was the newest one. What?!That wasn't suppose to come out until next week, how did he get it? I could just ask to borrow it, but then he'd know I read them. Then Naruto would find out and then the whole town and that would just be embarrassing. After all the years of sneaking around and going to other villages where no one knew me to buy one of those books, I couldn't surrender now. I guess I could wait another week.

"Hello to you too, (Y/N)." He said lowering his book so I could see the mocking smile on his masked face.

"Kakashi! I'm sorry I didn't realise it was you!" I waved my arms in front of my face to try and hide the light blush that had placed itself on my cheeks.
