Chapter One and Only
"Men." Kakashi's voice was unnaturally serious, eye narrowed.
Sakura looked up from where she was sitting. "Hey! I'm here too!" Neither her sensei, nor her teammates seemed to have heard her.
"We must not fail this. Failure is simply not an option." The boys nodded, obedient for once and arms firm at their sides.
Again, a curious Sakura looked up. "We had a mission?" And, again, she was ignored.
"Remember, if we can't do this, all of our exploding tags will be" and here their sensei's voice dropped to an overdramatized whisper "taken away."
As one, the two male genin brought their hands to their mouths and gasped. "No! Not the exploding tags!"
Sakura felt an annoyed tick coming on..
"The exploding tags." The jonin stage-whispered again, this time bringing gloved hands up to his face to add to the horrifying effect.
"Noo." The boys answered again, leaning away from their sensei.
Sakura felt the tick growing.
"Yess." Kakashi whispered, leaning closer to the boys, and suddenly Sasuke fell to his hands and knees, tears dripping to the ground.
Why the hell was Sasuke taking part in this idiocy?
"Please... I can't lose my exploding tags!" Kakashi felt tears of pity welling up in his eyes. He knew Sasuke's pain all too well.
Naruto knelt down beside his teammate, putting a reassuring hand on the taller boy's shoulder. "Sasuke." he said, and the sun suddenly moved so that the two boys would be facing the sunset. Wasn't it nine in the morning? "Our precious tags won't be taken away. Don't worry - be strong and we won't fail. We won't let them take away our exploding tags. I promise."
What the hell?
The dark haired boy looked up at Naruto, tears still dripping although at a lesser pace and breathing uneven. "Really...?"
And Naruto nodded, smiling down at his friend. "Believe it." As one, the two boys turned to look out into the sunset.
Standing in the shadows off to the side, one silver haired Jonin nodded approvingly, dabbing at his eyes with a folded handkerchief. "They grow up so fast." Then, he too, turned to look off into the sunset, all three males' eyes sparkling.
Sakura contemplated getting a medic nin.
Again, I have no idea what the hell this is. Whatever it is - I hope you enjoyed.
