DAY EIGHT

(=´∀`)人(´∀`=)

"I'm here!" a voice called from the living room, the sound of a door slamming against the wall echoing throughout the room.

Naruto poked his head out from around the doorway to his room and rolled his eyes at the silver-haired man that stood in the doorway. "What are you doing here?" the blond asked. He opened the door all the way and stepped out into the hallway to peek over the banister.

Kakashi stepped aside as another man walked in unceremoniously behind him. "I was in town and I heard that you guys were staying here so I thought we'd drop on by," he said as he pulled out a familiar, beaten-up orange book. "Besides, I know that you missed me."

Naruto's cerulean eyes rolled. "Yeah, right."

"Naruto! Who's here?" Minato called from the kitchen.

"Kakashi and Iruka!"

As Minato and Kushina came out to greet the two, Sasuke moved in behind Naruto and whispered, "Dobe."

The blond jumped slightly and turned to face the raven. "Yes?"

"Why is Kakashi here?"

Naruto stared at the Uchiha before realizing that he didn't know. "Well, when my dad was younger - like, way younger - he used to teach taijutsu. Kakashi was one of his students and they've been pretty close ever since - even though Kakashi's way younger than he is. And of course you know Iruka-sensei: our elementary teacher."

Sasuke sweatdropped as he stared at the two in the room below. "Our elementary teacher and our P.E. teacher. Amazing."

Naruto grinned as the raven continued to stare incredulously at the couple who had evidently invited themselves to stay in their cabin for the next week.

People stared as a silver van driven by a laughing, intoxicated-looking blond pulled into the restaurant's parking lot with a crowd of laughing adults (and two teenagers). Sasuke sat in the back seat between Naruto and Kushina, his eyes sparkling with amusement as he watched the two laugh as Jiraiya (who sat in the front seat) rambled on drunkenly about how he'd once been with a woman that looked suspiciously like Hitler.

Minato parked Kakashi's van and turned to face the others. "We have to behave here, Jiraiya. So stop drinking sake!" His eyes narrowed at the older man as he grabbed the bottle from his hands.

Jiraiya waved his hand nonchalantly. "You worry too much, Mina-chan. Nothin's gonna happen!" His speech was slurred and he hiccuped violently, giggling as he hit the seat from the force of the action.

The blond's eyes rolled and he stepped out of the car, followed by the rest of their posse. The woman behind the counter eyed the party suspiciously, not looking at all amused when Jiraiya stumbled through the glass door and shot her a wink and a lazy wave.

They all gave the woman their orders for drinks and paid her before finding their own table as far away from people as possible.

Naruto, Jiraiya, Sasuke, and Kakashi went up to one side of the buffet while everyone else went to the other side. The blond watched wearily as the oldest man picked up the spoon of mashed potato and studied it before tossing the mashed potato into the back of a very large, bald man. Three pairs of eyes widened as Jiraiya laughed loudly as the victim stood and glared at the drunk man. "What the hell was that for?" he demanded, fists clenched.

The white-haired man suddenly stopped laughing and looked the other dead in the eye. "Your bald head was blinding me so I had to cover up the shine."

Naruto's jaw dropped as Sasuke and Kakashi watched half-horrified and half-amused.

"What'd you say, old man?"

The smaller blond rushed over to his godfather's side, sticking his hands up in what was supposed to be a peaceful gesture. "Hey, we're really sorry, guy; he's drunk and he didn't mean it. If you want, you can go ahead and punch him in the face. Hell, he deserves it."

Jiraiya turned to stare at the teen with wide eyes before staring intently at the woman the larger man had been sitting with. "Hey! I know you!" he exclaimed. "I banged you!"

Naruto heard a snort come from Kakashi but he barely registered it as the larger man gripped the front of Jiraiya's coat. "What'd you say?"

"H-hey, come on..." Naruto started but the bald man whipped around to glare at the blond, causing a small yelp to escape his throat.

"Stay out of this, kid, before I come for you next," he threatened as he glared.

Naruto could practically feel the killing intent rolling off the Uchiha behind him like waves but he ignored them. "Don't you threaten me! I ain't afraid of you!"

The bald man set Jiraiya back down on his feet and whirled around to face the teen. By this time, most of the waiters and waitresses were watching the ordeal, not really sure if they needed to intervene or not.

Sasuke's black eyes narrowed at the man, striding in front of the blond and glaring full-on at him. "You wanna get to him, you'll have to go through me first," he challenged.

The bald man scoffed. "Tch. I ain't fighting a bunch of kids."

"Is there a problem here, sir?" The manager had finally arrived and he watched the four with careful, watching eyes.

"I just want that guy out of here," he said, pointing to Jiraiya who was giggling and hiccuping and swaying slightly.

...

The ride home was only slightly awkward; no one knew what to say.

Except Jiraiya.

"That was so - hic - funny, wasn't it? Oh my God! Did you see his face! Hah! I could tell that he was a total - hic - bastard! Good thing we don't live here or being banned would kinda suck, wouldn't it? Hic."

So, I'm running out of ideas and writer's block is hitting me pretty hard. So, if you have any ideas or suggestions (and if they're good enough) I will use them.

And be warned: there's nothing planned for the next chapter so if no one reviews a suggestion or I don't think of something, there will be no chapter tomorrow.

Also, I noticed that Fanfiction has now made it easier for viewers to review since they put a little box at the bottom of each chapter. So really, there's no real reason not to review. A simple "Good story!" goes a long way for a writer. It feels good to get reviews, man.

Tah-tah!
