From Create Your Own Story
As time goes by, your knowledge on future events eventually runs dry and you tell Tsunade (you're still corresponding with her after all) as much, but never to despair. You had after all performed a great service to the village and are offered the opportunity to come back to Konoha. You explain to Gaara and the others that you are no longer an informant to Tsunade...and that you have decided to accept their offer and return to the Leaf Village...
You've made some good friends amongst the Sand nin but you do miss Konoha...and it's not like you'll never see them again...after all you know for a fact that Temari has been travelling to and from Konoha quite frequently.
Thus you return to Konoha...
Upon your request you receive training sessions and with the encouragement of the various friends you had made amongst the Konoha ninja...you are finally able to call yourself a bonafide kunoichi (whether you had wanted to become one or not...). And by the time two years roll by, you have attained the rank of Chuunin as well as permission to teach at the academy.
You sigh in frustration at the end of another typical day, you had just gotten through a particularly nerve-crushing lesson (it seemed like all the annoying ones had found their way into your class...oh, but you are a patient teacher and you love your students). You hurry to pack up your things and leave, eager to get out and relax.
You head straight for a Sake bar...true you're still underage but hey, that's what fake ID's are for right? (I do not encourage this sort of behavior, I think the legal drinking age in Japan is 21...it's 18 in Australia...right now Kimiko is 18...)
You order some much deserved sake and make yourself comfortable...well as comfortable as one can make themselves on a barstool.
You note the shadow fall onto the counter as you reach for your drink.
"It didn't work then and it won't work now Anko..." You sigh and turn in time to see Anko drop her arms back to her side.
"Aaw, aren't you drunk yet?" She remarks in mock disappointment. "I bet it would've worked if you were drunk."
"It wouldn't and I'm not." You declare.
The older woman shrugs...you had met her when you walked into the bar for the first time...heck, she was the one who got you the fake ID...and you've been good friends with her since...or at least drinking buddies.
"So, what did the little hell-raisers do to torture you today, 'sensei'?" She smirks as she orders herself a drink, then shoves the guy sitting on the stool next to you off and claims it as her own.
Apparently he knows who she is because he doesn't bother complaining and finds himself another place to sit.
"That was mean, Anko." You point out.
"What? I don't see his name on the stool." She shrugs innocently.
"I don't see yours either."
Anko draws a kunai out of her weapon's pouch and etches her name into the stool.
"You were saying?"
"...You're insane..." You smile whilst shaking your head.
"And you're too sane...and sober I might add." She responds. "Answer my question."
"Well...they glued all the pages in my textbook together...and swapped the chalk with cheese-sticks..." You sigh.
"...Sounds like it was a good day."
"Comparatively speaking: yes."
"Kampai!" Anko hollers.
"Kampai..."
Next Day
You groan into your pillow...that was the last time you'd ever let Anko talk you into having a drinking contest with her...
"Finally, you're up!"
You flinch at the sudden noise...then you stiffen...that loud voice sounds a lot like...
Lifting your face out of the pillow you see a grinning Anko in the doorway.
"Anko?"
"Good morning! Whew, were you ever wasted last night!" She laughs.
You take the opportunity to take a good look around.
"This isn't my room..." You mutter.
"Of course not. It's mine." Anko responds matter of factly.
"You took me home."
"Obviously."
"Couldn't you have dropped me off at my place instead?" You sigh flopping your head back into the pillow.
"I forget where you live." She shrugs. "Man, if I had known you were such a clingy sleeper though...I might have opted to dump you on the couch instead."
"We shared the bed?" You say into the pillow...it's not that it really bothered you...you'd shared a bed with a girl before (non-sexually people).
"Yeah."
You sit up with a groan and immediately notice that something is amiss.
"Anko...where are my clothes?"
Later
You're in your own apartment.
Waking up in another person's apartment after a night of heavy drinking isn't how you had expected to start your day...waking up in another person's apartment in just your underwear isn't how you wanted to start your day.
Anko had said that it was more comfortable to sleep that way...you had still been embarrassed by it though.
'I wonder if Anko was in her underwear too...' You find yourself thinking and blush furiously at the thought. 'Or maybe she prefers to sleep in the-' You interrupt the thought before it reaches completion.
Why on earth would you think such things! Anko is a woman and it isn't like you are...you don't complete that thought either.
"I need a shower..." You sigh.
Later
You're at the local onsen (hot springs)...why? Your shower's broken.
Surprisingly, there aren't too many people around, which is a relief to you since you really rather prefer it that way.
Once you've scrubbed yourself clean in one of the indoor baths you readily step into the welcome heat of the onsen.
You sigh as you tilt your head back and lay your towel over your eyes.
A short while later you hear someone else come in but you don't pay them any mind and stay as you are.
That is until you feel a pair of hands cup your...female assets.
Your head snaps up and you try your best to squirm away from the pervert.
"Geeze! I didn't think you could be this jumpy after all you had to drink last night!" An all too familiar voice laughs.
You freeze, half in the spring and half out.
"Anko?"
"Hiya!" She gives you a peace sign.
"Anko, what the hell!" You stomp back into the water. "Why would you grab my-"
"Relax." Anko interrupts you. "I was checking to see if they were bigger than mine..."
"...You were what?"
"Anyway, turns out they're not, curiosity satisfied." She goes on, completely ignoring you.
You look away. "I could have told you that without you...checking."
"Aaw, is little Kimiko-chan embarrassed?" She chuckles. "Well if you want, you can touch mine and we'll call it even."
You blush, "Anko, I am not going to touch your breasts."
"Oh, come on...We both know you want to!" She laughs and grabs your hands.
"A-Anko! I'm serious I don't-" You stammer as she presses your hands against her chest.
"See, it isn't that bad now is it?" The older woman smiles.
It's at this point that you notice you have an audience.
Both you and Anko look up to the bamboo fence that splits the onsen in two for single sex bathing.
A certain Icha Icha reading male is observing you with mild interest from the other side.
"Oh, don't mind me ladies." He casually waves his hand. "Please continue."
Later
"I cannot believe Kakashi was watching us..." You grumble.
Anko laughs, "I never saw you run so fast before..."
"It looked like I was fondling your boobs!" You say a little louder than you had intended to and earn a few stares from the passers-by.
"Was it really that bad?" Anko asks she seems more serious now.
"I..." You pause. "I just don't want people to get the wrong idea..."
"And what would that be?" She smiles gently...it admittedly scares you a little bit.
"That..." You look down at your feet. "I might...you know...like women?"
"Why would that be a bad thing?"
You stare at her red in the face, "Because it's...well it's...it's not normal."
Anko gives you a flat look, "Kimiko-chan...normality is just a myth...it does NOT exist I mean seriously, who would you say here is normal by society's standards?"
You actually really need to think about that.
"Well...Ichiraku-"
"Living in a hidden ninja village and owning a Ramen stand is just so normal."
You sigh.
"Hey." Anko puts a hand on your shoulder. "What I mean is...you shouldn't worry about what other people think...if you like girls." She shrugs. "So what? If a girl makes you happy when a guy can't why care? Why be miserable just so you can fit in with what they say is normal?"
"I...don't know what to think..." You admit.
"Look on the bright side..." Anko squeezes your shoulder reassuringly. "I'll be there for you when you do figure it out, okay?" She winks and grins at you.
"Anko?"
She rolls her eyes, "Come on, Kimiko, you got to lighten up! Don't tell me we need to go drink again."
"I'm fine already! Geeze..." You mutter.
"That's more like it!" Anko laughs. "Oh, right. I still need to give you your apology." She leans in and gives you a quick peck on the lips. You freeze, you face as red as a baboon's (you know what I cannot even complete that simile).
Anko chuckles and whirls you around as you start walking towards, what you presume to be without a doubt, another bar.
But who should be standing there in the middle of the road but the masked copy nin himself.
"Can I come along? Watching you two is like live-action Icha Icha."
Elsewhere
In a hospital room.
An older woman sits by a young woman's side.
Two nurses watch her.
"It's so sad..." One of them says. "Her daughter has been in a coma for more than three years now...
The woman turns to look at them, "I...don't feel as bad about it as some of you might think..."
The nurses hastily apologize.
"I think she's doing alright." The woman continues smiling tenderly at the young woman in the bed. "Wherever she is...I think...she might be happy..."
Ending Nr 19...possibly the most controversial one yet!
(A/N I know that fans tend to pair Anko up with Kakashi...or make her gay...I am still surprised by how often Kakashi can weasel himself into an ending though...Okay, I'd like to state for the record that I don't have anything against members of the gay community...I am good friends with quite a few of them at university actually...And if you are in any way offended by this ending...then by all means accept my apology and go read something else.)
