First meetings
The night was still dominant. From this darkness, a lone figure walked across a path. The said figure was walking, then, stopped… In front of him was a woman in her early twenties as he thought. He was facing her back from there he could see her messy shoulder-length black hair; she was wearing a purple yukata. The said figure watched the woman. She slowly turned. He saw the sight of her enticing ruby eyes, and once again, she stopped only to reveal a part of her face. Naruto, on the other hand, couldn't register who the woman was…
"Naruto" He heard her say.
"…" He couldn't muster a single word from his mouth.
"Naruto"
"…" He couldn't reply once again.
"Naruto"
"…" Again
"Naruto"
"…" Again
"Naruto!"
"Wha-what's going on?" Naruto looked around only to find his friend Kiba staring at him. "Kiba, what the heck are you doing?" He asked.
"Naruto, must you sleep all the time I see you?" Kiba asked.
"What is it to you anyway?" Naruto asked.
"What do you mean 'what is it to me'? Care to notice, our team is still waiting for our sensei just like them." Kiba said pointing out to Team 7 which includes Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura, and Aburame Shino.
"So what team number are we again?" Naruto asked looking innocent as possible.
Kiba sighed. He had the urge to whack his friend off his senses while Hinata just giggled. The said dog-user just focused himself to reply.
"We are Team 8, Hinata is also in our team, and do the things that I recently told you register to your mind?" Kiba said slowly.
Naruto chuckled at his friend. "So how long have they been waiting for their sensei?" He asked.
"Two hours… wait; did you just say 'they'? We, too, have been waiting for our sensei!" Kiba replied while his pet dog, Akamaru, barked in agreement.
Naruto chuckled once again. Kiba and Hinata looked at him as if he'd gone crazy. They watched him form a tiger seal and said; "Kai" and soon a blur from the wall came.
"I take it you're Team 8." A woman, probably around twenty years of age, appeared right when Naruto dispelled a genjutsu casted inside the room.
Team 8, rather Kiba and Hinata, looked at their Jounin Sensei with surprised looks in their faces. Meanwhile, everyone's eyes averted to the door which was starting to open and soon there was a tall, silver-haired, half-masked, male Jounin.
"Where's Team 7?" He asked.
"YOU'RE LATE" the pink-haired girl, Haruno Sakura yelled. Naruto only sighed. 'They better get used to him being late.'
"Sorry I was late you see… I got lost to the road of life." Kakashi replied.
"LIAR" Sakura yelled once again.
Naruto chuckled… then he started to laugh, hysterically. Kurenai being the calm and collected as she is, she too couldn't help but to laugh with Naruto. "Honestly Nii-chan, is there really a road called the road of life?" Naruto asked with a grin on his face.
"Fine… fine… team7, let's just go to the rooftop." With that statement, he disappeared with a whirl of leaves.
"Shall we go then?" Kurenai asked her students; who readily nodded their heads.

With Team 8
They reached outside of the academy with their hitai-ates on. Hinata wore her hitai-ate like a necklace while Kiba wore his on his forehead and Naruto, his was different he tied it on his left arm, making some of his bangs fall down. Kurenai looked at her students from Kiba to Hinata and then to Naruto.
The said woman was leaning against a tree. She watched her first students with a sigh. Not knowing why, she felt nervous over something.
As if sensing Kurenai's distress, Naruto asked. "Sensei, aren't we suppose to introduce each other?"
Kurenai smiled inwardly at this. "Okay, state your name, likes, dislikes, hobbies, and your dream." She said.
"Ladies first" Naruto said with a grin.
"Okay I'll start, my name is Yuuhi Kurenai. I like karaoke, comic books, and nice people. I also like to study various genjutsus known in the shinobi world. I dislike arrogant people who look down on others. I also dislike perverts. My hobby aside from reading comic books and cook books is painting. My dream for now is to make sure that the three of you will be promoted into a Chuunin rank." She said in a calm tone.
Kiba and Naruto looked at their female team mate who was in the process of looking at the ground and fidgeting both of her index fingers. "My name is… Hyuuga Hinata… I like nice people." She blushed at her train of thoughts that include a certain blonde. "I dislike… people who look down on weak people. My hobby is cooking. My dream is to… make a difference in my clan." She looked down once again.
'This one needs to boost up her confidence…' thought Kurenai.
Everybody looked at Hinata, they were caught up with the silence but Kiba broke it up.
"Yo! The name's Inuzuka Kiba. I like my pet and best friend, Akamaru, I also like our team and to train. I dislike Sasuke's annoying fan-girls! My hobbies are to hang-out with my friends and to play with Akamaru. My dream is to become my clan's leader someday." He said and nudged Naruto's side that indicated his turn.
'While this one…,' referring to Kiba. '…he needs to lessen his self-confidence…' Kurenai stopped with her thoughts when Naruto was about to speak.
"My name is Uzumaki Naruto. I like my Nii-chan, Sandaime-jiji, and Aye-… (He stopped for a moment and continued) …nice people, who acknowledge me for who I am. I like ramen and I also like to train. I dislike the long wait for my ramen to be cooked be it just minutes or seconds I still dislike it. I also dislike arrogant people who look down on others as if they are weak. My hobby is to enjoy every ramen known to man! My dream is to become a Hokage and to surpass every one of them." He said.
Kurenai looked at her students once again and smiled. "Tomorrow, meet me at training ground number 19. 9 a.m. sharp."
"Um, Sensei, what's the occasion?" Kiba asked.
Kurenai smiled again; her smile for now will be mistaken as a grin. "Let's just say… tomorrow is the 'real' genin exam." She said.
"WHAT?-!" Kiba said almost shouted, hyperventilating.
Hinata was trying not to faint.
Naruto looked rather plain as if he had expected this. After all he had lived with Kakashi who always taught him 'a handful of things'.
"Tomorrow at training ground 19. 9 a.m. sharp. You're all dismissed." Kurenai said but before Naruto could go, she called him right away. "Naruto" She called.
"Yes, Sensei?" He walked next to her.
"I was quite impressed that you've detected my genjutsu a while ago. Not even Kiba with his dog or Hinata with her Byakugan had sensed me. You've passed an unofficial test." She said.
Naruto couldn't help but to blush at her praise. He was, once again, on his sheepish grin and scratching the back of his head just like yesterday at Ichiraku's.
Kurenai looked at him and giggled audible enough for him to hear. Naruto immediately looked up and saw her rather amusing look on her face. It's not like you get to see 'the' Yuuhi Kurenai, once called 'the ice queen' for her deadly demeanor, known for being calm and collected at all times, giggle around. And today was one of Naruto's lucky days. He was able to see the real Kurenai, the one he adored so much. He started to like her because of her wine-red eyes, somewhat making him entranced. It made him feel something he couldn't even explain.
"Gomen ne, Naru-kun" He heard her say.
"Iie, Kurenai-sensei…" Naruto said waving his hands in defense.
"I was wondering, did Kakashi teach you how to detect genjutsus?" Kurenai asked the young blonde beside her.
"Iie, he didn't teach me how to detect it." He replied.
"Then how did you detect through my genjutsu?" She asked quite surprised.
'How can someone beat my genjutsu so easily.'
"It's kind of weird actually…" Kurenai raised her eyebrow. "…Well you see, when everyone left except team 7 and our team, I saw something blurry and the rest I guess you know what happened." He said. "A-ano, am I dismissed now?" He asked in unnatural low tone.
"Of course, you may go now." Kurenai said. She stood there watching her student's retreating back.
'I saw something blurry and the rest I guess you know what happened.' It rang through her mind again, looking deep in thought.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The Genin Exam
Training ground number 19 was something Kiba would say 'comfortable'. There was a clearing in the middle, obviously for training or sparring purposes, while it was surrounded by several trees since they were almost at the edge of the forest. From their spot, they could see a waterfall that was connected with a lake. Surely enough this was 'comfortable'.
Three genins sat on a log while waiting for their sensei. "You think she's just hiding in her genjutsu again?" Kiba asked.
Naruto shook his head this time. "We're just early you see." He said showing Kiba the time that said 8:57 a.m.
"I guess when she says 9 o'clock sharp she meant 9 o'clock sharp." Kiba said while Akamaru barked in agreement on Hinata's lap.
When the clock stroke 9 o'clock, a kunai came darting in which Naruto caught with ease. "I see that you're all early, that's good." A female voice rang. Team 8 looked at their sensei, who was walking towards a tree stump and placed an alarm clock which was set on 12 o'clock noon.
"As you can see… I have two bells here with me…" Kurenai said as she held out two dangling bells, she tied it at her waist-pocket and continued. "…Each bell is meant for one and only one genin…" Before she could continue Kiba cut her off.
"But Kurenai-sensei, there are only two bells." He said.
"That means one of you will have to go back being an academy student again." Kurenai replied to her currently paled students. "Get these bells to me with an intent to kill. Get this to me before your time run out." With her last word, Team 8 was nowhere to be seen.
Near up to the trees, three genins were hiding from their sensei. "Any plans?" The boy with a fury jacket spoke.
"Okay listen up here's the plan…" The blonde boy said.
Once they were finished, the boy with a fury coat jumped down. Looking ever so confident, Kiba stood 10 meters away from Kurenai along with his dog, Akamaru who was in his jacket.
"Do you happen to know what YOU are doing?" Kurenai asked.
Kiba, acting so cocky, placed his dog Akamaru on the ground. "Me and Akamaru we'll take you on!" He pointed towards Kurenai direction.
Kurenai could only sigh at this. 'There goes my first test. Wait! Where are the other two?' Kurenai pondered. She saw Akamaru turned into an exact replica of Kiba while the real Kiba shouted. "Gatsuuga!"
Kurenai quickly sidestepped away. She cursed herself at how the Inuzuka's were quite good whenever they fight with their dogs. Kurenai quickly jumped when the real Kiba charged at her way. But her luck was not on this day.
In mid air, Kurenai was still struggling with both Kiba's and Akamaru's attacks. She tried to turn, but, she only came face to face with a white blur. Kurenai felt some of her tenketsus were being closed, causing her unable to move in mid air. She could see herself falling and her opponents gone at least that's what she thought until she heard someone shouted. "Suirou no Jutsu" Soon she was inside of a bubble-like prison breaking her fall. Kurenai looked at her jailer, Naruto; who was being accompanied by Kiba; who was placing Akamaru in his jacket, and Hinata; who was holding the bells. Naruto released his hold and Kurenai was free.
She looked at them and sighed. "You three… pass." She said which earned a few cheers from the 'official' Team 8. "Naruto" she called out.
"Yes, Kurenai-sensei?"
"Were you the one who thought of the strategy a while ago?" She asked which was followed by a nod. "I see… you'll be the team captain you earned it." She said.
"…" Naruto was speechless. It was like the ramen suddenly spoke and said "take me". It took him 3 seconds to come back to reality due to Kiba's constant poking.
"Huh?" Naruto said.
Kiba sighed while Kurenai and Hinata giggled. "Were going to Ichiraku's to celebrate, you're not just going to stand there are you?" Kiba said.
"OF COURSE NOT!" Naruto was back within a nanosecond. The moment he heard 'Ichiraku's' which lead to ramen and more ramen, he hurriedly ran at Kurenai's side. "A-ano Kurenai-sensei…" Naruto couldn't finish his sentence but instead he took out Kurenai's kunai to give it back to her.
"Oh! You can keep it." She said.
"A-arigato." Naruto smiled sheepishly and scratched the back of his head.
Hinata was looking at Naruto then to her Sensei. There was something different between the two that she couldn't put her finger on it. She never saw Kurenai-sensei act like this whenever she ran into her. To her, Kurenai-sensei was cool, calm, well-collected, always serious, and sometimes noxious whenever it calls for it. Then her thoughts turn to Naruto. Well to her, Naruto was her idol being the loudmouth and carefree as he is. Truth be told, he was still her idol. His bright colors made her feel the things, to her, that was unattainable.
"Um… Hinata, are you okay?" Naruto asked as he waved his hand in front of her face.
Hinata was so deep in thought, she didn't even noticed Naruto's face in front of her saying something to her; she immediately blushed after seeing him in front and close to her.
"Hinata, are you okay? You look kind of red…" Naruto said as he gently placed his palm to her forehead which made her more flustered and next to her was history. Hinata fainted but thankfully Kiba was there to catch her fall.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
At Ichiraku's…
Currently, Ichiraku's was jammed packed by Team 7 which consists of Haruno Sakura, Uchiha Sasuke, and Aburame Shino. They, too, passed their test much to Kakashi's dismay since there were rumors that Kakashi always fails his genin team. And there was Team 10 which consists of Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru, and Akimichi Chouji.
Kakashi was about to turn the page of his 'orange' book when suddenly he winced, loosing his concentration in reading, he turned to see his student, Sakura, fighting Asuma's student, Ino. It was something about who should sit next to their precious Sasuke-kun.
Asuma was about to light his fourth stick but when he saw a familiar kunoichi enter the restaurant, he immediately put it away. He didn't want to remember the things Anko did to him and his precious cancer sticks. He immediately winced in the memory.
"You're not looking for my brother, are you, Anko-chan?" Kakashi asked with a chuckle.
"What if I am, what are you gonna do about it, Kakashi-KUN?" Anko said with a sly smirk on her face.
"…" Kakashi hadn't got any time to answer when the door suddenly slid open, revealing… team 8.
Asuma was about to say something but when he saw Anko's eyes lit as if they were blazing. He immediately shut his mouth.
"Hey Naruto-kun, we were just talking about you." Anko said, walking in front of the blonde.
Everybody was looking at their direction while the ones that didn't know what happened yesterday were curious like -- 'How did Naruto knew her?' -- Something like that while the others looked frantic until…
"Hey Naruto-kun, what will be it for today?" Ayame said audible enough for everyone to hear.
Kakashi and Asuma sighed in relief. They could swear that Anko's fist was growing white in pressure.
"One miso and beef ramen for me!" Naruto said with his cheerful voice.
"How about you miss?" Ayame looked at the woman next to Naruto.
"One beef ramen with extra chili" Anko said.
"And you three?" Ayame asked looking at Kurenai and the rest of team 8.
"Miso ramen" Kurenai said.
"M-miso ramen please" Hinata said, almost like a whisper.
"Beef ramen with extra filling and two beef rolls for Akamaru" Kiba said.
"I'll just place your orders for the meantime."
"I take it that they passed." Asuma said which earn him a nod.
"So did my brother beat you to a pulp, eh Kurenai?" Kakashi teased the red-eyed brunette.
Kurenai only glared at him. "Nii-chan" Naruto said giving his Aniki a warning.
But before they could continue, their meals came. "Here are your orders." Ayame said with a smile.
"Yosh! Itadakimasu!" Naruto shouted with glee. And soon he ate his meal slowly, taking his time to taste the different ingredients of his precious ramen, just like Ayeka had taught him.
'Take your time it's not like it will run away from you. Besides, a shinobi always takes his time.' Ayeka said.
Naruto smiled on the memory as he munched on the noodles.
"Hey Chouji, when you eat your food do you smile like that?" Kiba asked pointing at Naruto.
"…"
"Guess not" Kiba said. He was still looking at Naruto, who was smiling after he finished his miso ramen. By the time he ate his beef ramen, his smile fade away.
"Maybe it's the food or something… I usually got that expression whenever I like or don't like the food being served to me." Chouji whispered to Kiba.
"That was delicious, Old man." Naruto said as he patted his full stomach.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Little Meeting
Once Team 8 was done eating, they left the ramen house for a little meeting. Late noon, they were currently at the park. Kurenai was standing in front of them while Hinata sat on the left side of the swing and Kiba was on the right. Naruto, on the other hand, was leaning on the left side of the swing.
"Our daily meeting will always be at 10 o'clock in the morning at training ground number 19. Is there any question or questions you would like to ask?" She asked her students, when none came, she said. "Good, you're all dismissed."
Kurenai saw Kiba and Hinata leave but Naruto was still there, still leaning on the left side of the swing. "What are you still doing here, Naruto-kun?" She asked.
"I uh… got nothing else to do." He said looking somewhere else. He suddenly felt Kurenai's presence. Slowly, she walked to where Hinata used to sit.
"Push me" Naruto heard Kurenai say.
"Huh?" Naruto looked at her for a second.
"I gave you an order, Uzumaki Naruto… now, do it…" Kurenai said in a commanding tone.
"H-hai" Naruto started to push the chains that were connected to the board she was sitting in. He could hear her giggle every time her back was close to him, close enough to smell her hair. He even commented that it smelled like 'strawberries' that matched her eyes. 'Maybe she really likes red.' He thought as he pushed the chains again.
Kurenai never felt this emotion before. Surely it was something new that she didn't pick up in the sidewalks. She could even smell his scent every time she was close to him. It was something different. It was like it was made for him and him alone. It was somewhat strong but it was making her taste buds tell her it was sweet. On her 5th swing, Kurenai stopped.
Naruto saw Kurenai stopped herself and then looked at him. "Your next order is to ride the swing with me." He heard her say while he just mocked a salute to his superior.
And soon, they started to swing. Both of their feet were like trying to reach to skies above. Both were smiling, happy, and contented. Every time they swing forward, they could feel the air around them which was starting to get slightly cold. They could see the sunset from their position.
"On three, we jump at the same time. The longer the jump is considered to be the winner and the other is the loser." Kurenai said.
"Okay the loser will have to 'cook' dinner for the winner. Deal?" Naruto said.
"Deal." Kurenai said in response.
"On three!" Naruto and Kurenai said in chorus.
"One" (Naruto)
"Two" (Kurenai)
"Three" (Naruto & Kurenai)
Time seemed to slow back when they jumped. "Ha-ha… looked like I won…" Naruto said but he suddenly stopped when he found out his 'very intimidating position'. Him on top of Kurenai –- 'the' Yuuhi Kurenai! He quickly moved away. "Gomenasai!" He looked down from where he sat with flushed cheeks.
Kurenai found herself blushing as well. She was lucky enough that Naruto's head was down so that he couldn't see her blushing as well. "Looked like you did won, Naruto-kun…" She stood up from the sand. "I guess I'll have to cook dinner for you." She said as she brushed away some dirt from her uniform.
"A-ano… which house we'll be in?" Naruto asked.
"Mine" Kurenai said.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Dinner Date
From where Naruto sat, the living room was almost the size of his apartment minus the bathroom and the kitchen. He looked at the walls; he could see some paintings hanged. He looked around, following his feet wherever they lead him to, he stopped to look at some pictures on a table. He saw some of Kurenai's pictures.
One picture caught his eye; it was a single photo of Kurenai. She was wearing a purple yukata with a pink ribbon that tied around her waist. She wasn't wearing her hitai-ate. Her hair was tied in a purple ribbon. He held the picture closely to his eyes so he could see more. As clear as the sun, Kurenai was standing behind a cherry blossom tree, smiling.
'She… she kinda looks like the woman in my dream… she can't be?' Naruto thought as he continued to gaze upon the picture before him.
"That picture was taken during a festival." A voice suddenly rang from behind.
Naruto quickly placed the frame back on the table and saw Kurenai still standing at the doorway with two meals on both of her hands. He promptly walked back to the couch where Kurenai was now sitting.
Kurenai was about to say 'dig in' when somebody 'poofed' in the living room.
'Shit' Naruto thought.
When the smoke was gone; it revealed two people namely, Mitarashi Anko and Uzuki Yuugao.
"Were we interrupting something?" Anko asked more like teased while Yuugao was looking at Naruto.
"No you're not. We were just going to have dinner when you two 'poofed' in." Kurenai said, flatly.
"So… we 'did' interrupt something." Anko said not really listening.
"Kurenai-chan, who's he?" Yuugao interrupted.
"He's my student. He's name is Uzumaki Naruto."
"Oh…" Yuugao had already heard this Uzumaki Naruto from some fellow ANBU. She remembered how Jiro, her fellow ANBU colleague, got hit by a Raiton Jutsu that was transmitted by this familiar blonde when she happens to be passing by the Hokage's office.
"What are you girls doing here?" Kurenai asked.
"We just thought we could come and give you a visit." Yuugao said.
"Why, you're planning to do something to Naruto-kun aren't you, Kurenai-chan?" Anko said, eyeing her best friend.
"What? That is so not you, Kurenai-chan, that is are you?" Yuugao said acting like she was in panic.
Kurenai was red. Red from anger, embarrassment, and you could probably guess that she's also blushing. Even Naruto found himself in a very intimidating situation, him in the middle of three women and considered to be one of the beautiful and deadliest kunoichis in Konoha.
"A-ano Kurenai-sensei, I'll just go to the kitchen and eat there, I'll leave you with your guests." Naruto said but before he could even stand a hand stopped him. He looked at the owner of 'the hand' which came from 'the' Mitarashi Anko.
"Nonsense you can stay here. I doubt that Kurenai-chan here would want you to go, after all you're already here." Anko gave him one of her maniacal grin that caused Naruto to gulp down something inside of his throat.
'Hmm… he's kind of interesting for a kid but still ah… who cares?' Yuugao thought.
Naruto started to eat his food. He didn't even notice the stares being given to him by both purple-haired kunoichis while Kurenai was eating and glancing at Naruto then to Anko and Yuugao. Kurenai just simply sighed when she finished eating while Naruto willingly did the dishes.
As he washed the dishes, three pairs of eyes were watching at him or rather his back. He just simply left both plates on the rank at his left. By the time he turned around he saw three women looking at him. He cocked an eyebrow and said.
"Is there something wrong?" He asked.
"No nothing's wrong." Anko and Yuugao said in chorus who's both cheeks were pink.
Kurenai was stopping herself not to laugh or anything. She never saw Anko (who's always playing on some guy) or Yuugao (who's always hard to get a date on since she's an ANBU) became embarrassed by some guy at their age group but by some 14 years old kid this was really hard not to laugh on.
"The meal was delicious, Sensei." Naruto said, being polite and all, he bowed in front of her as courtesy which of course taught by Ayeka.
Kurenai saw him bow at her. Nobody has ever done that to her not even Asuma or Kakashi. Her train of thoughts flashed fast to prove her theory but when she found that there was really no living male has or have bowed at her, Her theory was proven correct. She didn't even realize that she let out a small blush but it quickly faded away.
"It's getting late, Naruto-kun. You better head home now." Kurenai said.
"Thank you for the meal, Sensei." With his last statement, he went to the door and waved his goodbye.
"I guess I'll go now. I have to go patrol around the village." Anko said.
"Yeah me too, I have duties as well." Yuugao said, following Anko from behind.
"See ya" Anko said as she waved her hand.
"It was nice seeing you and 'ahem' you're student, Kurenai-chan." Yuugao said with a wink and soon she 'poofed' away.
Kurenai was walking to her bedroom thinking about what had happened during her day. She had already changed into her pajamas. Still thinking about her day, she gently lay on her bed. With a heavy sigh, she sat up.
'It was just a day come one go to sleep already!'
'Admit it Kurenai, you enjoyed it!' Inner Kurenai said, with her rare appearance Kurenai didn't even know she had one, inner self.
'Admit what? I don't even know what you're talking about.'
'Oww… come on you love his scent you even said that…' Before Inner Kurenai could continue Kurenai already beat her up to it.
'Stop it! Let me sleep!' Kurenai was now struggling from her own self.
'Admit it first!'
'Fine, I enjoyed what happened today and I love his scent, happy now? I can't believe I'm talking to myself.'
'HA… I bet you even enjoyed his touch when he was on top of you… hahaha…'
'…'
