Naruto got up from his position in the bed. He sighed tiredly and massaged his temples gently. Yesterday was a very rough day for him. He had to persuade that brat-puppy so he could get his (or its) permission to date Hinata. The hell was his problem? He was not even her father.

Naruto stood up and started walking toward the kitchen. After drank some water, he walked to the bathroom and did the morning routines. OK I think we shouldn't have to find out what he was doing.

Half an hour later he came out of the bathroom and grabbed his clothes quickly. He had a plan to go to the springs. He felt so tired that he needed a relaxation. Soon he was out of the house locking the door in a hurry. He really couldn't wait to relax his sore muscles from the mission the days before yesterday.

He walked down the stairs and run along the way. He was so excited. A huge grin came to his lips. That all blissfulness drained from his stupid face when his gaze met some girls who were joking around. Sometimes he even could hear they spoke his name. As fast as Konoha no kiiroi senkou, he hid himself behind a nearby tree.

"Oh Shit! Those fangirls couldn't stop themselves from fawning over me, right?"

Naruto muttered his words with an annoyed tone then he turned his direction avoiding them. He really felt sad about not having Hinata in his side right now. How he missed her smile, how he missed her laugh, her touch, her kiss and her everything. He sighed desperately and ran his hands over his blond hair.

Naruto lost in his thought while he was walking to the springs. He was not noticing someone who was walking directly towards him until they bumped to each other.

"Auchh..."

He almost scolded the person when he saw an arm has been extended towards him. Naruto looked up to the certain person. Oh-oh so the person was a middle-aged woman with long black hair and red-pupil eyes.

"Ku-Kurenai sensei?"

"Yo Naruto!"

He catched Kurenai's hand and brought his body up, stood so tall in front of his lover's sensei used to be. But then he saw her full of sadness expression.

"What's up sensei?" he dared to ask even if he felt a bit worried about himself couldn't go to the spring.

"Ano.. I need somebody's help but there's no one left in the village. They're all too busy with the missions and others."

He looked at his sensei's sadness and felt guilty about his last thought. Soon he offered her his best –and stupid-smile.

"You have me right now sensei. Let's go! I'll help you anything."

Kurenai smiled genuinely and then they walked side by side towards Kurenai's home. Naruto only smiled happily because he felt happy of being helpful to another person. He was not noticing the mischievious grin of his sensei's face.

Soon they arrived to the small but cozy house in the middle of the village. Kurenai led him to enter the house. The guess room was only 10 square feet large. It had a white pillowy sofa with Sakura pattern there. The smell of this room was really relaxing, a mixture of lavender and poppy. Naruto inhaled deeply only to suck the smell hard. It reminded him of his lover's scent.

Naruto flang his body roughly on the sofa. His eyes catched a glimpse at Kurenai. The former sensei still busied herself with some kinds of flower he didn't know the name.

"What can I do for you, Kurenai-sensei?"

"Ah.. Ah.. Here you are. I need your help to classify these things and then arrange them into a beautiful shape."

Kurenai had to try hard to refrain herself from laughing while the blond boy was only jawdropped.

"Sen-sensei? Did you just ask me to help you doing ikebana?"

Did he just stuttering? May be after dating Hinata he became much more like her.

Kurenai nodded enthusiastically. Her eyes full of pleading emotions. May be she forgot that she was not a girl anymore. Naruto massaged his nosebridge and closed his eyes for a moment.

"O-OK."

But soon he regretted what he had said. By the corner of his eyes he could see a huge pile up of flowers on the room's floor. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Kurenai suspiciously.

"Why should I do this?"

Kurenai answered him with a pleading tone.

"You want to help me right? I didn't have anyone else to help me. I wish Asuma still alived so he can help me with these things and I don't have to bother yo-"

"NO! You didn't bother me at all. OK sensei? I'll do my best-ttebayo!"

And once again the blond hero didn't notice a huge grin on his sensei's lips.

Naruto started to work the flowers. First, he classified them based on their color. Red in the left, blue in the right and so on. He worked so fast and felt proud of his work until he heard Kurenai's scream echoed the room.

"Naruto no baka! How did you take red roses in the same group with poppies?"

Her scream just made a confused look on the blond boy's face.

"Err.. What rose? What poppy?"

He scratched the back of his neck nervously only to receive a death glare from the woman. Kurenai approached the said flowers and parted them.

"These ones are red roses, and these ones are poppies. Got it?"

"Huh? Those flowers have the same colors, Sensei. What's the point?"

Kurenai facepalmed. With a high speed she picked the red book in her drawer and throwed it to Naruto.

"Read it and do your work quickly or else I won't give my permission for you dating Hinata!"

"WHAT? Sensei, Did you just sa-"

"YUP."

"But I don't need your permission to date Hinata. You're not her mo-"

"She has been considering me as her mother even since she became my student. So Naruto, will you do this work or not?"

Was it only his feeling or Kurenai became grumpy all of a sudden? Naruto gulped and nodded his head in horror. He was trying to calm himself.

'Anything for dating you, Hime!"
