DAY ONE: Teacher's Joy. The Legacy of Glee
Kakashi practically sped along the corridors, slowing down only when students were in view (after all, it wouldn't look good if a teacher ran down the halls but a student could not).
Kakashi flew by the secretary despite her best attempts to stop him (which weren't good at all, considering she was one of the many fangirls).
Danzo looked up when he heard the door slam open. He scowled in annoyance in the face of Kakashi's joyful expression. "Kakashi-sensei. This is highly inappropriate and - "
"Is it true?" Kakashi leaned over the seated principal, barely containing his excitement. "Did that snake Kabuto transfer?"
Danzo glowered up at Kakashi. "Sit down." His tone brooked no argument. It was only once he was seated that Danzo nodded his agreement. "Kabuto-sensei did transfer to Oro High as a favour to his uncle."
Kakashi nodded like a little boy at Christmas. "So, what happens to Glee?"
Danzo scowled, "Glee will be disbanded as it wasn't going well to being with."
Frowning, Kakashi argued. "But the Glee team has been to Regionals quite a few times."
"Yes, but they have not been to Nationals since - "
Kakashi interrupted. "-Since my teacher. Seeing as I'm one of the last students from her supreme reign, who better to teach the Glee club to win?" Kakashi believed the best part of Glee was having fun and giving it your all. He knew winning wasn't everything but to please Danzo, he would pretend that it was. After all, the only thing Danzo cared about was being the best.
Danzo's eyebrows furrowed. Kakashi knew he was contemplating it. "There are a few problems with that. We need a minimum of twelve people, and out of that original Glee club, Kabuto took eight students with him when he transferred to Oro High. Plus, the piano teacher. It's gonna take me at least a few months to find another good enough. I should be able to find one in time for Sectionals, but can you find eight other students who can sing amazingly in a school that despises the arts?"
Kakashi could see Danzo's point. This school focused mainly on academics and sports. Arts were pushed back and Glee was one of the least favourite clubs in the arts faculty. It had been that way since his teacher retired to be with her family. But for Kakashi, one of the main reasons why he chose to teach was because of his teacher. The one reason he chose to teach at Roots High was not because it was an amazing school but to show the students what he learnt here in Glee. He wanted to bring Glee back.
Which is why he said with confidence in his eyes, "I can."
Rin's eye twitched as she saw her pens were crooked. She straightened them very carefully with a ruler before placing her ruler back in its spot. She cautiously swung her chair ninety degrees to the right before getting up to admire her clean desktop. She brushed out the wrinkles in her black and white skirt suit before contemplating going to the bathroom.
Before she could even move, the door swung violently open, causing her neat pile of papers to practically explode and flutter to the ground. She tensed up in panic at the mess.
Rin squeaked as she felt a body collide with her lower half. Strong arms wrapped themselves around her waist, just above her butt. Half a face was pressed against her (is there no other word that I can use to describe it?) crotch. She could feel her face turn red, but she relaxed as she stroked that person's hair.
There was only one person who defied her rule of no touching.
"RIN-CHAN!" Kakashi whined as he nuzzled his face against her, causing more blood to rush to her head and her knees to buckle. She fell into the chair behind her. (Thank goodness the chair was directly behind me. He'd never let it down if I fell onto the floor. The fact that I fell is embarrassing enough!)
"What is it, Hatake-sensei?" Rin asked calmly, despite her nails digging into the arms of her chair. Her eyes swept over to the windows of her office before darting back in embarrassment. (The students are laughing! They are stopping to point and laugh. Oh kami-sama, the crowd is getting bigger) "Hatake-sensei, you need to get up and sit down on my chair. The students are watching."
"Oh?" Kakashi peered up from his nuzzling. "So, you're saying this would be okay along as there aren't any students around?" He grinned cheekily.
Rin reddened like a tomato. "That!... What!... Hatake-sensei! Don't twist my words."
"Call me Kakashi, Rin-chan. You know you want to," Kakashi murmured as he continued to nuzzle his face against her.
Rin gave off a pained expression. (Stop playing with me…) "Kakashi-sensei, please sit down," she said quietly.
Kakashi gave her one last squeeze before getting up. He shooed away the students at the windows, who were whistling and gesturing with crude body language. He sat down as he watched them leave.
Rin, who was now free, started picking up her papers and readjusting them, before placing a paperweight on top of her pile. "So Hatake-sensei, what's the matter?"
"How quick you are to revert back to my last name, Rin-chan," Kakashi drawled as he slouched back in the chair, watching her avoid his eyes. "Everyone else calls me Kakashi. Why can't you, all things considered?" Kakashi watched as her hands clenched harder.
"It is because of those things considered," she quietly replied. "Now, do you have good or bad news for me, Hatake-sensei?" She asked more loudly with a small, forced smile on her face.
Kakashi smirked, unable to hold back any longer. "I'm in charge of Glee." Kakashi smiled as he saw a genuine smile light up Rin's face. "Kabuto transferred. Considering who my mentor was, Danzo's given me the slot. Only problem is that I have to get eight new members and a piano player. I'm planning to hold auditions, but do you have any idea of which student to start with?"
Rin chuckled. "I'm surprised you haven't already thought of him."
"Alright! Welcome to the auditions for Roots High's Glee club. Thank you for showing up."
"Umm, Kakashi-sensei? There's no need for the fake smile. The only people who showed up for the audition were the original four. We're just as discouraged." Tenten was a third year student here who loved playing sports. If you wanted to stereotype her, she was a tomboy. She wore cargo pants with sneakers and a form-fitting tank top. She joined Glee because her mom begged her and frankly, she only enjoyed it because of the people who were beside her. Before, Kabuto ran a tight but fun-sucking ship. Tenten only hoped that this teacher would be better then the previous.
"Um. Kakashi-sensei? I-I agree with Tenten-chan." Matsuri was a shy, polite girl. She only stuttered under the most extreme conditions. She would be one of the girly girls but she did not have a lot of self-confidence. So instead of mini skirts, she wore knee length skirts or jeans. Instead of wearing tank tops and low cuts blouses, she wore turtlenecks or loose shirts with cute slogans.
Kakashi sighed as his whole body slouched. "Sorry guys. I was trying to stay upbeat." His eyes narrowed. "Hey, there are supposed to be four. Why are there only three students here? Please don't tell me he dropped out already?"
"Ano, Kakashi-sensei? Shikamaru-kun is on his way. He must be late because he was assigned to show the transfer student around by his homeroom teacher, Kurenai-sensei. Apparently, they have a lot of classes together." Chouji was a super nice guy with bad luck. He had been bound to a wheelchair since his elementary school days. Nobody knew how he had lost the use of his legs, except those closest to him. Unlike the rest of his family, Chouji was of a slimmer build.
The doors slammed open. "Troublesome. I'm sorry I'm late. Gai-sensei kept us over the clock." Shikamaru had a lanky build with nice firm arms. He wore loose cargo pants and a hoodie shirt with a kangaroo pouch. He had one hand holding down his messenger bag to keep it from bouncing too much as he jogged down the stairs. His other hand held onto the flustered transfer student.
Even though Kakashi knew it was the truth, he couldn't help but make fun of them. "Are you sure Shikamaru-kun? Maybe you just wanted to spend some quality time with your girlfriend. After all, look at how messed up your clothes are and how much you're panting." Kakashi smirked as he nudged his head towards their linked hands.
Shikamaru removed his hand while the transfer student blushed bright red. "Ah, don't be troublesome Kakashi-sensei. I know Chouji probably already told you that I'm showing her around." He turned towards his lackey. "Listen up, this is Kakashi-sensei. He teaches English and Legal Studies. He is also now apparently the supervisor of the Glee Club. This three plus me are the original members of the Glee club: Tenten, Matsuri and Chouji."
"Guys," Shikamaru turned back to the Glee club. "This is Harade Hinata. She's the new transfer."
Harade-san bowed. "Please call me Hinata. Nice to meet you."
Kakashi bowed along with the other three students. "Welcome, Hinata-san. I wish we had a piano man so that at least you could see the original four perform for you. Though they didn't perform as much as the other eight, they were still amazing to watch."
"WHAT? We DON'T HAVE A PIANO MAN?" Tenten stomped her foot in frustration.
"Kabuto took that guy with him when he transferred."
"Umm…It's strange how many people Danzo let Kabuto take when he was transferring. Usually Danzo wouldn't let anything go."
Kakashi furrowed his eyebrows as Shikamaru's words registered. He has a point and Kakashi felt a shiver go down his spine. (There's something I'm missing).
"If you like, I could play piano for you until you find someone else? I've been playing since childhood."
Kakashi grinned. (At least that's one problem solved!) "If you would please then, Hinata-san!"
Hinata's Choice According to the Reviews:
Naruto: 4
Sasuke: 12
Kiba: 1
Shikamaru: 1
Harem: 5
Single: 1
Sasuke and Naruto: 2
WOW! So, Sasuke is in the lead at the moment! Interesting… And a couple people have suggested the idea of SasuHinaNaru, so that's also an option up for grabs.
There's one thing I have to make clear though. Harem. Someone once told me it's not like a giant orgy (their words not mine, though it made me laugh), it just means that at least 3 people have a crush on the same person, but at the end of the story, that person picks who s/he wants to be with. So technically, this story is already a harem. There are at least 3 people who I'm considering Hinata with. So, if you continue picking harem, it basically means that you want an open ending – where her choice is not said.
Same with the SasuHinaNaru option. I will make it obvious that she has feelings for both, but the ending doesn't show her choose one. But rather that they are continuing to win her affections.
It's kind of hard to do a harem in a modern setting (like 'the point' mentioned in her review to me) as well as a threesome. So, this is really the closest way I can do it that would make it realistic to the setting of the story. I'm sorry.
I really enjoyed your reviews! It was fun reading your thoughts and comments. So please keep reviewing!
