NOTE: Let's suppose that Tayuya didn't die, but was saved by Anko who pleaded Tsunade to give her a chance. Tayuya became free from Orochimaru and now is a ninja in Konoha. This story will be an odd pairing of Kakashi and Tayuya. Meh, hope you enjoy.

It was a typical summer day in Konoha Village. The sun scorched every skin it touched and the owners of the skins complained like there was no tomorrow. Most people would prefer comfortable clothes that were short and cool, that was not troublesome to wear. That didn't really appeal to Hatake Kakashi who – as usual – insisted on his usual green vest and black long-sleeve shirt and pants with a mask pulled over his face, only revealing one eye, black and lazy, and reading "Icha Icha series" most of the time.

On this typical summer day, Kakashi was called to the Fifth Hokage's office. As he would do, in any typical day, he came in late, which Tsunade expected, although not-so-happily.

"I have a mission for you… and it can be as easy as a D-rank mission or its difficulty can exceed a S-rank mission," Tsunade said.

Kakashi stared at her blankly.

Tsunade continued. "You know of Tayuya, the jonin who used to be under Orochimaru," She asked, already knowing the answer to be a yes. "I'll get right to the point then. I don't know if you have ever spoken with her, but her language is quite… obscene, and she is a bit too hot tempered – sometimes even more than Naruto. And also…" Tsunade sighed. "She's been sleeping around quite a lot lately. Now that she's a jonin, there really is no way that anyone can tell her what to do… and ANBU does not exist to tame bad girls," Tsunade said.

Kakashi sighed. He knew what Tsunade was asking him to do. "Why me?" He asked.

"I was getting to that. Kakashi, you are an elite jonin who is good with dealing with people like her. Naruto, for one was under you. Tayuya, she is a lot like Naruto in many ways, I can tell. She puts up a tough act but like every person, she holds some kind of pain inside. Anko supported her, but she's away and probably won't come back for quite a while. You… you bring limits to people not brutally, but rather, strongly and efficiently where people learn from their mistakes, rather than to agonize over them."

Kakashi closed his book. "I see," He said.

"Will you do it?" Tsunade asked.

Kakashi smiled. "A mission is a mission no matter what the task is, Hokage-sama. I'll do what I must," He said.

Tsunade smiled. "I will be anticipating the results, then."

Kakashi nodded and turned to leave.

"By the way, Kakashi."

He turned.

"While the mission exists, she is practically like a student of yours. If she does not satisfy what you need," Tsunade chuckled. "Feel free to punish her. It should be quite interesting."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Four years… It had been four years since the grip of the damned Orochimaru left her and she was finally free. Many things had changed since then. Tayuya is now a jonin of Konoha, bearing the mark of a leaf on her head protector. After her fatal fight with Shikamaru, she was nearly dead until she was miraculously saved by Anko who used to be at the same situation as Tayuya was. She listened to Anko's advice to come back to the light, although the damage had been done. Sasuke was forgiven and he was slowly readjusting to the home he loved and of course, Jiraiya's magnificent works were hitting the movie theatres more frequently. But if there is one thing that had not changed and will probably never change is… Tayuya's language.

Her alarm rings for the sun rise as Tayuya threw it across the room without any hesitation. "Shut the fuck up, god damn it…" She muttered, as she brushed her hand next to her.

Warm surface of a man's skin came in contact with her fingertips as her eyes widened in surprise. What the… She thought as she suddenly remembered. She looked next to her and found a brown-haired man sleeping like the dead with his naked back to her.

Ehh… Genma… She thought as she slowly sat up on her bed, her head pounding and aching. She muttered all the curses she knew in one quick breath before dragging her naked body into the shower.

She got drunk last night and apparently did it with Genma... again. It was like her eighth time just in the last two months and it was just damn great. Now people will start to think that there is something going on between them… except there really wasn't anything special going on and they could fuck themselves up in their room for all she cared. However, just the idea of people asking about their relationship was… rather troublesome. What was she going to tell them anyway?

I think he's hot so I'm fucking him… Uh, no not really… Just because he was hot wasn't a good enough reason for her to be doing anything with him… She had more self-control than that… unless she was drunk. And drunk was exactly what she was every time Genma – or whoever else – climbed in her bed with a gigantic erection. Actually, half of the things she did, she wouldn't be doing unless she was drunk.

But she had a reason to be drunk… and if not a reason, a damn good excuse.

When she was done doing everything necessary to make herself presentable to children, she headed to her room, where Genma was up now.

"Hey," He said, chewing on his little senbon stick that he frequently used to negate a kunai attack or whatever. His legs were wrapped in the blanket, his bare chest and abs packed with muscle and some scars from his missions. His blue bandana was wrapped around his head as usual.

"Hey," She replied simply. "I need you to kind of get out, I need to get dressed."

He shrugged and went out with the needle bit in his mouth, his movements showing no signs that his lips even touched alcohol… so maybe she was the only drunk one… the fucking perv…

Well, it didn't really matter. Who was she to refuse a night together with one of the most attractive jonin that Konoha had to offer? Actually, more than just one… eighth night was it? She had to admit… Genma was one of the best-looking man ninja in Konoha…

Tayuya shrugged the thought off as she dried off her hair which was a more red than deep pink for it was wet. Her foot lightly kicked a cold thing rolling worthlessly on the floor.

She stared at her horribly disfigured alarm clock ticking noisily by her foot. She always wondered how it was even still working. She threw it so many times, she couldn't even find a place where it wasn't dented.

"Hey, Tayuya, are you done?" Genma said, as he bust through the door.

Tayuya's instinct made her kick the nearest thing – her alarm clock to be precise – towards Genma. "Hell no, you shithead! Get out, I only have a towel on!" She yelled.

Genma caught the clock with ease and stared at her. "It's not like I am looking at something I've never seen before…" He muttered.

"OUT!" Tayuya yelled.

Genma bit on his senbon before muttering inaudible things as he went out the door.

Tayuya didn't know how she felt at the last comment Genma made… Damn this felt shitty… So why did she do it? Because she decided to get wasted.

After the troublesome morning, Genma literally ended up carrying Tayuya to where Shizune stayed. Her hangover today was unusually bad and it pissed her off severely.

"You should try to not drink so excessively… Tayuya," Shizune said, as she stared at Tayuya with weary eyes that clearly read I-am-sick-of-curing-your-stupid-hangovers.

Tayuya only made a grumpy face.

"I'm only doing this for you because you have that important call from Tsunade-sama," Shizune said. "I wonder why Tsunade-sama entrusts important mission to you… You probably go to your mission place and get drunk everyday… with the likes of people like…" Shizune turned her accusing gaze to Genma.

Genma stiffened. "I didn't do anything!" He defended.

"Uh-huh… you weren't even drunk, you dick head!" Tayuya said, tightening her hand to a fist.

"Tayuya, stay still; you're going to make me make you throw up!" Shizune yelled.

Tayuya got up. "Forget this, I'm gonna be late, and Hokage-sama won't like that much…" She said, thinking about last night.

It was about late afternoon when Genma came to tell her that the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade was requesting her presence in the morning. Tayuya had no clue why but she really didn't have much of an option. When the woman wants someone to do something, they'd better do it if they still want to be cremated with all limbs attached.

And then they went to the bar, and the got wasted… to be exact, she got wasted… and no more unnecessary details.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Eh… Hokage-sama, what business do I have here?" Tayuya asked.

Apparently, Tsunade didn't intend to speak to Tayuya alone, but have some… masked ninja share in on the conversation.

He was very strange in Tayuya's eyes. She figured out that this was Hatake Kakashi by the looks of him… and now she wanted to know why he's here with her.

"Tayuya, I know of your nature, but the way you speak, and act is becoming unacceptable. You are an honorable ninja of Konoha, and you should display that. As a jonin, it's a good experience to have a genin team of your own. You will help them grow and it also will benefit you, for it will make you more responsible."

Tayuya looked at Tsunade skeptically. "What do you mean, Tsu – er – Hokage-sama?" Tayuya asked, trying her best to not be foul-mouthed at least in front of the Fifth Hokage of Konoha. Why is she scolding her in front of another ninja?

I HATE GENIN KIDS!

Tsunade sighed. "You are now a jonin, Tayuya. That means that… you should have an experience to train genins. By the looks of your record, you have not done any of that… and you do not suit well to train the young genins anyway," She said.

Tayuya only looked at her, searching for a point in this whole thing.

"The purpose of me calling you here with Kakashi is… you will be an assistant under him in instructing a group of genins – and don't you look at me like that, Tayuya – to gain leadership abilities without necessarily being violent," Tsunade said. Tsunade opened her mouth before Tayuya could protest. "Don't complain about it, Tayuya. You need this and it would be for a month or two – depends on what Kakashi thinks – but I doubt it will be any longer than that."

At this point, Tayuya had to almost use her chakra to be able to hold her temper down. Train? With kids? Assistant? To Hatake Kakashi?

HELL NO

"Well, if there's no protest from Kakashi," Tsunade smirked, and searched him for any signs of objection.

None.

Damn him.

"Good. Let's hope you deal with this, Kakashi, Tayuya. Kakashi, restrain her with a leash if you have to. Now, if there are no further instructions or comments, you are both dismissed."

"Ugh, this is so shitty…" Tayuya mumbled under her breath, obviously not intending for Kakashi to hear her.

She thought her heart was having its own seizures when he stared at her with his lazy eye.

She thought he was going to maybe punch her or at least say something back to her in an intend to offend her but what he did and said nearly had the same effect anyway.

He smiled beneath his mask and ruffled her hair playfully. "Let's make this work," He said.

"Don't touch me…" Shithole… Dickhead… Shithead… Piece of shit… Bitch… Son of a bitch… She could have said any word listed or etc to finish her sentence, yet she stopped herself. Even she couldn't spit on a face of someone who smiled at her without ill intent. Or did he?

She dismissed the feeling as Kakashi walked off with his face buried behind a familiar red book, searching for the page he left off.

Some Ichi Ichi Series book… Tayuya thought.

To be brutally honest, she wanted to punch both the Fifth Hokage and Kakashi's face in. She didn't need this. Her life was going to suck.

My fourth summer in Konoha will be a piece-of-shit summer…
