Author's Note: I don't own Naruto. This takes place pre-Chunin Exams.


Yugao smiled softly at Hayate. With both of them being busy high-ranking shinobi it was difficult to always find time to spend with one another. This was one of the few times where the two could catch up with each other. The purple-haired ANBU couldn't help but be amused by her boyfriend's recent announcement. While he had tutored her in kenjutsu, she had never really seen him around children or more specifically teens. It wasn't a scary thought though and there was a strong part of her that wanted to see how he was with kids. She hoped that someday the two of them could form a family together, but she wasn't sure how to bring the subject up to him.

Yugao giggled after thinking about him trying to deal with the genin. Hayate couldn't help but smile through his confusion, "What's so funny?"

Yugao grinned, "You and children. I wish that I could go and watch."

Hayate glanced up at her, "You won't miss much. I'm just supposed to step in and keep things from going too far." He coughed, "I'll tell you about everything when the exams are over and your mission is over."

Yugao pretended to be annoyed by having to wait, "But that'll be so much later after everything has happened."

"Well, I'm sorry but that's how it is going to be," Hayate stood up, "I have to go meet with the Hokage and the other proctors to hear about the plans for the Exams. I'll see you after the Chunin Exams are complete."
