"INOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
"Gomen, gomeeeeen!!! Tell me, how in Kami-sama's sake am I supposed to know that they would ask for s'mores, then hoark the chocolate and the whole bag of marshmallows down before we even get a hold on the graham crackers?" Ino asked, ducking her head away from the glares the others are giving her. The only person not currently glaring at her was her boyfriend Kiba, who she was hiding behind.
"I have no fuckin' idea, pig!" Sakura yelled, making all the kids stop running around, staring at her wide-eyed.
Itachi sweatdropped, and reprimanded Sakura for her little speech, "Sakura, watch the language, this fic's only rated K+, T, tops."
"Oh. . . Gomen-nasai, minna-san!" Sakura apologized, blushing. The kids then started running again.
"That's alright, Sakura-chan!" Naruto replied.
"Not you, baka! The readers!È Sakura exclaimed, raising a chakra-filled fist, ready to pound Naruto, or at leastmake a Naruto-sized hole on the wall.
"Oh, well, that's still alright then, ne?"
"I guess. . . Whatever. . ." Sakura sighed, dropping her chakra-filled fist in defeat.
"Well?" Temari asked after everyone sighed out of exasperation, Naruto of relief. He gets to live a little longer!
"Well what?" Hanabi countered. These kids are starting to piss her off. Seriously, what were those ANBU doing in their free time? Why not start training their kids for one? Surely she, her neechan and niisan weren't like that when they were their age? She doesn't know about Neji, but she knows for sure tha Hyuuga Hiashi, the Hyuuga Clan Head and her father, started training her and her sister as soon as they can walk and talk. She also has a hunch Neji started training around that time too, if not earlier.
"How do we get these monstrosities they call children to sit and calm down?" Temari answered, equally irritated at the kids. Thay sat there for a few minutes, thinking. Until Naruto started muttering, that is.
"Sit. . . Sit down. . . I know!" Naruto exclaimed, right out of the blue.
"You know the rules Naruto, no perverted stuff!" Sakura reminded him.
"At least not in front of the kids. . . I mean you and Hinata can do anything you want later, we don't mind. . ." Ino trailed off. "Okay, I'm going to shut up now!" she added, seeing Naruto, Neji, Hanabi, and even Hinata's glares on her.
"That's the best idea you've had the whole day so far. . ." muttered Shikamaru.
"Shut up, lazy ass! You might be a genius, but you're still lazy! So there!" Ino huffed.
"She got you down pat, Shikamaru," Temari smirked, giving Shikamaru a peck on the cheek.
"Troublesome woman, won't ever shut up," Shikamaru mumbled, turning his head so Temari could kiss him on the lips instead.
"Alright, getting back on Naruto's idea. . . By the way, what is aruto's idea?" Sakura asked, getting back on the subject.
"N-naruto-kun, I think now's a good time to tel us about y-your idea," Hinata suggested, finally speaking up.
"Wha--? Oh, right! My idea!" Naruto exclaimed, clearly trying desperately to remember what his idea was. He wouldn't want to die in the hands of irritated comrades, now, would he?
"Well? What is it?" asked Tenten, getting impatient. These kids are getting on everyone's nerves, come to think of it.
"Maybe we should let them do crafts," Naruto suggested, actually serious.
"Dobe, thay're ANBU brats. What makes you think they'd sit down and do such a simple thing as crafts when since they were still in diapers, and don't know how to walk and talk yet, thay already know how to thow kunai?" Sasuke interjected, eyes shifting from watching the kids to Naruto.
"Aahhh. . . The good ol' days when they were still quiet. . . Deadly, yes, but quiet. . ." Hanabi sighed. Reminiscing those 'good ol' days' let her return to her old, happy demeanor. Training obsessed like Neji, and somehow power-hungry most likely influenced by Sasuke, yes, but happy and cheerful all the same. She leaned against the latter said prodigy, who in turn put his arms around her waist and pulled her closer.
"They already knew how to throw kunai when they were still itt-bitty babies, teme? Cool!" exclaimed Naruto,while the others sweatdropped. It took all of Sasuke's willpower not to do a facepalm, let alone bang his head on a pillar or the wall. Instead, he sighed.
"Point is, dobe, do you really think they'd just sit down and do crafts when they could be out there, wreaking havoc?"
"I can't believe I'm saying this, but let's give it a try. Who knows, it might just work. I mean, which kid doesn't like making crap that you can give your parents to annoy them?" Sakura asked, looking around. What she saw was people looking at her like she grew a second head. With bright blue hair. "What? That's what I do to my crafts in pre-Academy, annoy my parents with it. . ." she replid, looking sheepish.
"Okay, let's all give it a try then, shall we?" Temari asked. Everyone agreed, some somewhat reluctantly. "Minna! Minna!"
"MINNA, SHUT THE HELL UP, CALM THE FUCK DOWN, AND FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE, LISTEN UP, DAMMIT!" Sakura yelled at the top of her lungs, fist at the ready. Took about mood swings. Immediately, all the sugar-rushed kids stopped what they were doing, and stared at her, dumbfounded. "Thank you!" Sakura asked waaaaay too sweetly.
"Sakura, now I think it's your turn to calm down, ne?" Itachi said from behind her, placing a hand on each of her shoulders, pulling her closer to him, and nuzzling her neck. Hinata took this as an opportunity to tell the kids what they are all going to do next.
"Minna, do you guys want to make crafts?" Hinata asked, surprisingly not stuttering.
"Hai!" exclaimed the three girls, Asako, Kinezumi and Toru.
"Whatever," Kurisutaru responded. "I don't really care, as long as I can stay seated. Running around is way too. . ." He looked around, his gaze stopping on Shikamaru. ". . . Troublesome." They all realized only he and Tataka were the only ones not running around. Tataka was running before, but he got tired of what they were doing, since he wanted some action. No,not that way, hentais!
"Kami-sama, Shikamaru, Kuri-kun had been spending way too much time with you," commented Ino.
Shikamaru shrugged. "I'm the only one besides Hinata that Kurenai-sensei can trust to babysit him properly," he replied, stressing the last word of his statement, making Ino blush in embarassment. The members of Team Eight and Team Ten used to take turns babysitting Kurisutau when his mother is on missions, but since some incidents occured, Kurenai trusted only Hinata and Shikamaru not to endanger her and the late Asuma's son's life.
"Can't we just train? I need to get stronger, you know. Plus I still need to study. 'Kaa-san's been teaching me the latest medical stuff." Tataka said, irritated. They all stared at him, amazed.
"Matte, let me get this straight." Tenten broke the silence. Tataka nodded for her to go on. "You're four years old, power-hungry, training-obsessed, and also a medic?" Tataka nodded again in confirmation. "Amazing." Everone else nodded in agreement, even the egotists. Apparently, they were all thinking the same thing.
"What kind of crafts, Hinata-neechan?" Kouen asked, wiggling his eyebrows in a perverse manner. Instantly, Hinata blushed beet red.
"The kind that takes your dirty little perverted thought and hands off my girlfriend, Kouen," Naruto replied, pouting and grabbing Hinata away fron the little guy, earning a squeak from the Hyuuga heiress.
"Oh, Naruto-niichan! Nice to see you are. . . Well," the blonde four-year-old commented, scratching the back of his head sheepishly. He was obviously disappointed to realize that Naruto was there. That meant less time for him to make a move on Hinata.
"Yeah, yeah. . ." Naruto replied, completely ignoring the fact that Kouen just lied.
"Well then, crafts it is!" Hinata interrupted, stopping the brewing immature fight that has a tendency to happen.
"Uh-huh!"
"Whatever."
"Sure thing, baby."
"Fine, but give us training time later."
"Alrighty then! Let's go!" Ino exclaimed, enthusiastically, pointing a finger to the sky, bringing it down to point at the hallway. Allt he kids, except Kurisutaru and Tataka, ran ahead.
