*!Plot!* The Leaf's Last Stand

[;; HYUUGA KANETSU ?!]

((All right! It's finally here! The plot! I'll start.))

(Post continued from "Released from the Hospital".)

Kanetsu was still hugging Kakashi. It had probably been at least 10 minutes by now, non-stop. But eventually, Kanetsu sighed, and said, " Well, we need to get dressed for today, y'know?" Kanetsu stretched. " So...umm...who's going first?" She mumbled.

[Scαrιετ]

Kakashi shrugged. His mask was up, and he stood up, went to the closet (does he have a closet?) and disappeared into the restroom. He came out in his normal wear: Flak jacket, long sleeves, gloves, you name it.

Violet yawned as her alarm went off. She stood up, shaking her head off, and reached over to turn off the clock. Her hair was a mess, but after shaking it, it fell into place.
After yawning, she gazed at a photo of her and Hayate.
"You know. I really do hope he has feelings." She said with a smile. She had a habit of talking to herself when she was alone. She was actually quite lonely, and just usually was with Hayate, Ruby, or just herself. She knew a lot of people, but all in all, she isn't very social. As friendly and such a good friend she is, someone would think she had lots of friends.
She stood up, and walked to the kitchen, and she was still in her pj's.
"Ruby." She called. "Ruby, wake up, sheesh. You're the one usually bugging me to get out of the room." There was no answer.
"Ruby! RUBY!" Violet went into her room. Ruby's alarm was ringing, and there was no Ruby. Violet stood confused for a moment, untill she decided to turn off the alarm.
"She didn't come home. Maybe an emergency ANBU mission? Ah, whatever." She went to her own room, and changed. Today she wore her ninja clothes, with the metal backed gloves, flak jacket, and everything, on top of her usual. However, she wore a pair of comfortable black jeans, and her purple shirt underneath her unzipped jacket.
After she was done, she grabbed all her essentials, and walked out the door. She walked out of the Tatsu 'Village' and was headed towards Ichiraku's. They recently had a new breakfast special; something different from ramen.

Ruby's eyes opened. For a moment, she didn't know who was next to her on her bed, or where she was. But after a few blinks, her full conciousness came. Alastr's arms were around her. She smiled, a smile no one really saw. She kissed his cheek. Her own arms were around him, and se didn't let go. She was warm and comfortable. She licked his cheek, not knowing if it would wake him or not.
She carefully let go, and moved his arms off of her. He didn't wake, or at least she didn't think so. She shrugged to herself.
She quickly got dressed, strapping her sword on, but losely. She then arranged Alastr's stuff. However, once she spotted the Glam, she became interested, and sat down on the other side of the bed with it.
She studied the blade. The symbols for fire, earth, and wind were inscribed from the top down in that order, each seemed to glow a faint color of its own.

[Hayate Mochiya]

Hayate opened his eyes. His room was not well lit, as it was still morning, but he could see quite well. The Acadamy had provided him with his own apartment room, with Iruka and the other teachers living downstairs. He got dressed and began the descend the stairs. The previous night he had a curious dream. There were ninja. He couldn't identify (or didn't remember) the village they had come from. Though most of them were dead. Only a handful of them were standing up with a few cuts along their bodies. He didn't know all of them, but he recognized two to be Violet and Kanetsu. The strangest part was that he didn't find anything wrong with this dream. He was a ninja. Death (of others that he didn't care about whatsoever) came rather naturally to him, especially in his dreams. Though he couldn't shake the feeling that something wrong was going to happen. "I'm gonna go get some training in... Though I think we kind of destroyed the training poles yesterday..." He said to no one in particular. "I need a practice dummy..." He thought for a moment. "Where's Caleb?" Though instead of searching, he resolved to head straight to Ichiraku's, where he knew Violet would be.

Alastr's eyes slowly opened as he slowly gained consciousness from being asleep. Normally he wasn't too heavy of a sleeper but that night he slept unusually hard, probably because he was more relaxed due to Ruby's presence. He stretched out his arms and noticed that his shirt wasn't on. This wasn't unusual because shirts annoy him as he tries to get in a good sleeping position in bed. He then noticed Ruby wasn't next to him but, as soon as he looked the other way towards where his gear was he saw her examining his giant sword named Glam. She didn't seem to notice that he was awake so he quietly lifted the covers of his chest and snuck up Ruby in his loose pants he wore for relaxation. When he was in grabbing distance he quickly wrapped his arms around her and kissed her cheek saying, "Good morning Ruby."

[;; HYUUGA KANETSU ?!]

Meanwhile the time that Kakashi was getting dressed, Kanetsu got dressed aswell. The window and blinds were originally shut, but once Kanetsu had finish getting prepared for the day, she reopened them. The window appeared to have some amount of precipitation on it, meaning it probably rained again. Kanetsu was particularly fond of this kind of weather, most likely because it matched her usual mood. She did, however, dislike the cold temperature of these kind of days. The clouds were big, gray, and very dense. Kanetsu wore her usual attire. By the time Kakashi re-entered the room, she was drawing the black Xs on the tape on her hands. Kanetsu smiled at him.

[Okato Ikamatsu]

Caleb numbly walked into his hotel room which he could afford for another day since he couldn't stay at the academy since he graduated. He had been up all night testing a new jutsu- a summoning jutsu. A wolf walked up beside him, whining, not used to the room's layout, "It's okay, girl... It's okay," He said, patting the canine's head. It was only a pup, maybe 6 months old. He picked it up, I'll show you to my friends later today, k?" The little pup let out a happy yap. Caleb felt someone was behind him, and when he turned around, the manager of the hotel was there with a stern look, "Mr. Caleb, you only have enough money for this morning, so I'd pack up if I were you." The wolf disappeared from the boy's arms, "Ok, I'll be out in an hour."

*******************************************************************

Caleb was on Violet's front porch, knocking on her door, arms full of belongings and junk.

[San™]

San Yawned as she woke from the sun rays slipping in her room. Shaking her head lightly her hair unknotted its self and shifted to a high ponytail. Stumbling out of bed she made her way to her closet. Grabbing a random shirt and short she slipped into them not really caring if they matched. And really they didn't. Yellow shirt and red shorts. Then deciding to match she grabbed a blue shirt and switched. Glancing out her window she looked at the trees. It had to have rained last night. Putting her headband on her arm and her holder on her right leg she headed out to see what was going on with the village today.

Kaiyou woke up to her alarm and dressed in a bright blue shirt and dark blue pants. She headed out side and looked around then headed to Ichirakus. It was a good place for breakfast. Plus she heard about the breakfast special. She hoped today was exciting.

[Scαrιετ]

Kakashi simply smiled at her.
(From this point on, you have to control Kakashi. I already have two nin on my hands)

After opening the door, Violet almost ran into Caleb.
"Caleb! What are you doing here? And all that...stuff." She smiled at him. "I was just headed to Ichiraku's for their new breakfast special. You...care to join? I'll pay." She did a toothy grin. She looked over all of the stuff in his hands.
"Are you like...moving?"

Ruby just slowly looked at him. No sense of surprise. Not even a blink or a flinch. She kissed his cheek, and put the Glam back.
"Uhh...Alastr...I need to ask...Can I move in with you? You just happened to get with me the day I was going to begin to move out of my house." She said, blushing a bit.

[Okato Ikamatsu]

Caleb looked up to her with bloodshot eyes, "Err... Umm... Not really moving... I kinda got kicked out of a hotel, and..." His stomach was delighted at the name Ichiraku, "Uhh... I'm kinda outta money... and, uhh...Oh, nevermind... Is it okay if I move in with you? I'm broke and I don't want to move into Hayate's place, 'cuz he'll probably murder me while I'm there..." He looked up, thinking he might have sounded a little rude.

[Hayate Mochiya]

A firm hand gripped Caleb's shoulder. "Or I could kill you here." Hayate smirked jokingly. "I was on my way to Ichiraku's when I saw you two. If you need a room, I may be able to set up something at my apartment, but there may be some conditions..." Hayate took his hand away. "Oh, and Violet, I forgot to tell you. I'm on vacation from the academy. Thought it might give me some more time to refill my wallet."

[Okato Ikamatsu]

Caleb's heart fell. He had always hated the academy rooms. That's why he always slept on benches and such. He turned to Hayate, "Oh, Sensae- Err- Umm... Hayate... Hi."

[Hayate Mochiya]

"Don't worry. It's the apartments for the teachers and graduated students. They won't use the crappy beds they do in the academy." Hayate's smile faded. "Caleb, I need to tell you the first condition though. I don't want you using Shadow Clone jutsu to train anymore. It's extremely dangerous and can take almost all of your chakara at once. Only use it in dire need."

[Okato Ikamatsu]

Caleb's heart fell even further, "Okay..." He didn't want to argue about it, thinking about his monstrous hunger, "On the way to Ichiraku's, would you like to see my new summoning jutsu? I spent all night practicing it..."

[;; HYUUGA KANETSU ?!]

((Hey People! If you need any characters to be played, ask me!!!!!))

Kanetsu got up and stretched. She felt as if something was missing today, but she couldn't quite figure it out. Her natural reminder had kicked in; her stomach. It had just growled loud and strong, as it did every morning if she didn't eat immediately. Kanetsu had blushed at the growling noise.
"Uh...so..." She began. "What's for breakfast?"

Kakashi slightly chuckled at the sound of Kanetsu's loud stomach.
"Hmm...let me think..." He responded as he thought about a good breakfast meal. Finally, he had remembered Naruto ranting excitedly about some breakfast special at Ichiraku's. "Well, I heard that there is a new delicious breakfast special at Ichiraku's...how does that sound to you?" Kakashi suggested.
"That sounds great." Kanetsu replied. "Are you ready to leave, Kaka?"
"Yeah. Let's go." He replied. But, he felt as if he was missing something. The couple had arrived at their front door, when Kakashi had abruptly recalled what he was missing.
"Wait, i'll be right back..." He mumbled as he re-entered their room. Kanetsu had wondered why he suddenly went back, but her question was answered when he came back. Kakashi returned with something he was known for reading...Make-out Tactics. Kanetsu sighed.
"Seriously, what's so special about those books? They can't be that good if that perv Jiraiya wrote them." She stated. Kanetsu has always had somewhat of a grudge against the `Pervy Sage`, ever since he started spying on her and Anko in the hot springs. Of course, Kanetsu and Anko would beat the living crap out of him.

"Well, what's there not to like?" Kakashi started. "Some parts will leave you speechless, sad, maybe even crying! Then soon after, everything turns out alright! The shock of it all is so amazing! It shows that love between a man and a woman is truly wonderful!" He exclaimed. Kanetsu was speechless. She had never seen Kakashi so excited about something in her life.
"So Kakashi... what do you care about more...me or the book?" She asked him, looking down. Kakashi stopped reading as soon as she finished her sentence. He suddenly became serious, and Kakashi wrapped his arms around her tightly. "You already know the answer to that." He gave her his unique Kakashi smile. Kanetsu was relieved. "I guess that was a stupid question...well, since he enjoys reading that so much... i'll let him." She thought.
"Kaka..." She whispered.
"Hmm?"
"I really don't mind if you read that or not."
"R-really?" He seemed excited. It seemed kind of unbelievable since women pretty much hated the book.
"Really." Kanetsu said. She smiled at him.
"Wonderful!" He exclaimed, beginning to read once more. But, he had a burning question to ask her before he began. "Hmm, I was wondering...If you would read it with me sometime?" He asked calmly. Kanetsu laughed a bit, then sighed. "...Sure." Kakashi smiled as they both exited, heading for Ichiraku's.

[Scαrιετ]

((SEE!!! THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE POSTING ORDER IS TAKEN AWAY! FIVE FREAKIN' POSTS BETWEEN CALEB AND HAYATE, AND I GET NO CHANCE TO POST! THAT IS NOT FAIR! REALLY!))

Violet was actually about to accept Caleb, when Hayate interuppted.
"You sure, Caleb?" She said. She whispered into his ear, "Because Hayate might kill you! With me, you have the whole Tatsu on your side!" She said, kidding around.
"Let's go to Ichiraku's now. And I'M paying! Cause I have a little bit o' extra money on me. And I did just say that I'd pay for Caleb." She said.
