Hiya! Thanks for reviewing! ^.^

THESE MAY BE COMING UP LATE! I'm working on a few other fics at the same time, so I'd like to apologize for any soon delay ^^;

Sorry about THIS chapter being late too! . Just a few too many things to do…

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Naruto. If I did, NaruHina, ObiAnko, KakaRin, SasuSaku, and all those other awesome pairs would be cannon.

"What do you mean you want to go to the Tanabata festival?" Orochimaru asked his student as he lowered the paper to look at her.

"Sensei, I live on my own now." Anko stated. "I mean, I need this day off! I have stuff to do and I can't help that day."

"What's so important that you have to ditch me?" he inquired.

Anko's eyes widened and a blush spread. She was at a loss of words. She didn't know how to explain the whole Obito situation! What do you say? "I've fallen in love with the target and can't help you because I want to confess my love to him on the festival night?" Oh yeah, that'll work! An idea hit her and she shook her head clear. With a smile gracing her face, Orochimaru cocked a brow at her odd attitude.

"Sensei…" Anko began.

"Yes?" he queried.

"I'm having cramps and the blood won't stop rushing."

His eyes had fear in them. She had him now! If anyone was good at making others uncomfortable, it was her! He let out a scared sigh and looked at her.

"Training's canceled." He stated. "Whatever you want, you get!"

Orochimaru made a mad dash for it and Anko smirked. As she turned around, a pair of orange goggles met her. She froze and looked at the face with a blush emanating from her complexion. There stood Obito Uchiha. He chuckled and waved at her. She waved back. Obito grinned his goofy grin, making her stomach do flips. Why is he so freakin' cute?" she thought repeatedly as the blood left her legs and scrambled to her face. He frowned, concerned, and put his hand to her forehead.

"Are you ok, Anko-Chan?" he asked. "You said something about the blood rushing earlier."

"You heard that?" she squeaked.

"Well, yeah." He shrugged. "Hey, I was wondering if you were going to the Tanabata festival."

"Uh, yeah." She nodded. "Why?"

"Maybe we could hang out at it?" Obito grinned, tilted his head and put his face in hers.

She wanted to hug and kiss him right then and there. He could be so adorable and he didn't even have to try. She backed up a bit, smiled to the ground and nodded. Obito grinned and trapped her in a bear hug. There was a difference in strength. He was a thirteen year old boy who wasn't buff or weak but, I guess you'd say, muscular. She was an eleven year old girl. She wasn't scrawny or weak, but her muscles didn't show. She was pretty strong and amazingly energetic, but his grasp had her squeaking, it was so strong! He finally let her down after what seemed like an eternity.

"Thanks Anko-Chan!" Obito saluted.

She giggled, saluting back. "No problem, Obito-Kun."

She was looking forward to July.

Kurenai walked over to the Hokage's room and knocked. There was a gruff voice telling her to come in, so she obeyed. After entering and closing the door, she was surprised to find no hokage…but his stupid son. She gave him a dull look. He sat at the Hokage's desk with the hat on his head. He looked serious. Kurenai sighed and strutted to the desk.

"What on earth would you be doing?" she queried.

"I'm the Hokage's son, so I have the right to sit here." Asuma replied.

"You're not the only son of the Hokage, baka." She rolled her eyes and placed her hands on her hips.

"There you go getting all pouty and sassy again!" he said, irritated and held his cranium.

"Where's your brother?" Kurenai sighed.

"Why do you want to know?"

"So I can talk to someone, oh I don't know…sane?"

"Daichi is no saner than I am!" Asuma screamed.

Kurenai lifted an eyebrow at him. He went wide-eyed then angry, closing his eyes.

"Wait, wait! That came out wrong!"

"I bet it did." she replied sarcastically.

"What are you doing here anyway?" Asuma exclaimed.

"I came to ask if you wanted to hang out with us." Kurenai answered.

"Who is 'us'?" he queried.

"Rin, Anko and I," she said. "We're going to the mall."

"No!" he yelled. "The last time you made me go to the mall, I had to hold all your stuff!"

"Well, doi!" she said. "What else are boys good for at the mall?"

"You guys could try on bikinis…" Asuma gained a perverted smirk.

"Can I see that soda can?" Kurenai pointed to the not opened one.

"Sure," Asuma tossed it to her.

"Thanks."

Kurenai shook it hard and opened it right at his face. Soda spewed across the desk and had a direct hit! After it stopped, he spit it out of his mouth as she smirked and drank it.

"Perverts are stupid." She stated. "And we're trying on kimonos. You can see us in some sexy, silky ones. Deal?"

"Hmmm…deal." He said, shaking her hand.

"Itadaikimasu!" Obito exclaimed with a grin as he unclasped his hands.

Kakashi cocked a brow at him. Obito slurped his noodles up like a moron. It was the stupidest, most abnormal thing he had ever seen in his life. He shook his head and tugged down his mask. Obito looked at it as a noodle strained from his mouth. He slurped it up when Kakashi snapped his neck in his direction to glare at him. Gai had passed by, climbing onto a stool. Obito grinned and saluted the spandex wearer.

"How is your fine morning?" Gai queried.

"Amazing!" Obito replied.

"Ok," Kakashi shrugged, continuing to eat his noodles.

"Alien!" Gai squealed like a girl when he saw Kakashi's mask around his neck.

"Eh?" Obito and Kakashi inquired.

Gai ran away, still squealing. The two teammates looked at each other and shrugged. In a matter of minutes, Gai came back with Anko by the wrist.

"What is so important you had to drag me away from kimono shopping?" Anko exclaimed angrily.

"Look! Alien!" he screamed once more as he pointed at Kakashi.

Anko went between Obito and Kakashi and looked at his face. She shrugged and turned to Obito with a raised brow. He shrugged back. Anko now had an angry look. She was shaking too. The goggle wearing boy smirked and watched as the violet-haired girl walked up to Gai. She grabbed him by the shirt and punched him right in the jaw. When he fell down and lifted his head, she exploded.

"What the heck is wrong with you? We've all seen him like that!" she screamed. "I'm going shopping, so DON'T follow me!"

Gai looked from the steaming Anko to the two boys in front of him. He lifted himself up, wiping off his clothing. He sat back on his stool and snickered.

"Someone's bloods probably rushing like mad, eh Obito?" Gai laughed as Kakashi chuckled softly.

"What does that mean?" he asked.

"Her period, stupid." Kakashi said before gulping down some ramen.

"What does grammar have to do with Anko?" Obito asked confusedly.

"You idiot!" Kakashi slammed his head against the wall. "You're going to Rin's health class next time she teaches it at the hospital!"

"What does an end mark have to do with health?" he exclaimed. "I'm confused!"

"What else is new?" the neck-masked boy muttered sarcastically.

Alright! Next time…KIMONO SHOPPING! D
