Both Naruto and Miki shouted at Hinata, she only brought a sleeved covered hand to her mouth and laughed at the bickering duo, Naruto stopped as he looked at Hinata and he could see that her body was slightly shaking and her laugh was forced, her face looked pained. But he already knew why so he left the matter alone, and went back to bickering with in young lady that was in front of him.
The Hyuuga heiress was wearing a pale plum haori, her sleeves going past her hands. She also was wearing a pale plum skirt like Miki, but instead of going up to her mid-thigh it went all the way down to her ankles. She had two red ribbons on both sides of her hair as he hair was in a low ponytail that went up to her waist and held together by a red bow, on her feet were the same tabi socks and straw sandals like the other three.
Hinata fully came out of the forest followed by two animals the same size as Akamaru, if not bigger. One was a fox and the other was a wolf. The fox had yellow eyes that pierced your very core, making you tense since you could feel the energy coming off of him and his single tail swayed behind him. Next to the fox was a pure white wolf who had green eyes that just mesmerized you with a single glance, its tail swayed with the calming wind. Both animals calmly made there way over to the bickering duo and with one glance at one each other, they smirked and whipped their tails across the duo's butts. Reviving a loud yelp of pain and surprise.
"What the hell Kurama!"
"Yeah Yuki! What was that about, that was just plain rude!"
Both Naruto and Miki yelled at the fox and wolf who looked impassively at them. Tsuande, Hinata and Gaara looked at the two people who were currently arguing the the animals who both had a bored expression, while the three had a disturbed expression.
"As much I find this entertaining, will you guys cut it out." Gaara said in a monotone voice, he rolled his eye's when Naruto and Miki shouted back at him saying, pointing a finger a the mischievous animals 'They started it!' he mentally faced palmed himself while Hinata openly face palmed herself while muttering along the lines of 'And they claim to be adults'
"Enough! We're about to have company and you two are acting like little kids!" Hinata scolded them as she waved a stern finger at them, they both bowed their heads down and muttered an apology to the heiress who let out an aggravated sigh and gave them a warning look saying 'behave'. They both quickly nodded their head in understanding, since they knew first hand to never get on Hinata's bad side you will regret it.
"Good now let's wait here for the others, okay."
Hinata said to everyone with a smile on her face, her answer was a nod from everyone. Tsunade, Naruto, Hinata, Gaara and Miki formed a circle close to the edge of the river basin and sat down. Naruto sat in the middle of Tsunade, who was on his left and Hinata, who was on his right. To Tsunade's left was Gaara and next to him was Miki. Blinking her eye's in realization, Miki arched her back, placing her hands behind her to support her and looked at Kurama and Yuki upside-down.
"Speaking of others, where are they?
Everyone listened as they to looked at Kurama and Yuki, waiting for them to some how to answer. Both animals looked at Miki with a bored expression as they nudged their heads behind them, also looking back to saw that they were right behind them. But their eye's only met empty space, making their bodies go stiff.
They quickly looked back at the group of sitting people, who raisied their eyebrows at them, they both gave a quick nod to another before they sped off into the forest once more. Everyone sweat-dropped at them as they shooked their heads and went back to looking at one another, while Miki brought her legs forward and looked at her feet, moving them back and forth.
"Man, I'm nervous just thinking about. I wonder how everyone looks like now."
"Your just saying that because you don't want to get your ass kicked by an angry Sakura right, Naruto."
Hinata said in a smug voice as she kept nudging Naruto with her right elbow. Cheeks covered with an embarrassed blush and face irritated, Naruto lightly hit Hinata on her head with his right hand leaving it on her head.
"I liked it better when you were still shy."
Naruto mumbled, the girls laughed at him while Gaara just smiled slightly.
For the hell of it the blonde ruffled the heiresses hair, making Hinata groan in displeasure as she moved away from him, giving him a hard look as began to fix her hair, Naruto held his hands up in surrender chuckling as he winked at her, making her roll her eye's.
"Don't get to comfortable just yet, we have company."
Gaara said as he looked forward, arms crossed over his chest, face rid of all emotions. Hinata quickly pulled away from Naruto, blush on her cheeks and she began to do her fidgety nervous habit with her covered finger's. Naruto dropped his arms, placing both hands behind his head an plastered one of his goofy grins on his face, all four stood up and dusted themselves off.
Tsunade raised an eyebrow at them as she too stood up as while, her thoughts were cut off when someone curses were heard through out the forest and getting louder with each passing second. Before a group of people broke out of the forest. She looked looked over her shoulder at her subordinates and she had to bit the inside of her cheeks to keep herself from laughing. Their hair's were disheveled, and clothes out of place. Their expressions was priceless, it looked like that they've been through hell and back again.
"My lady?"
A surprised Sakura said as she calmly walked out of the forest and made her way over to her Hokage, ignoring the people that were around her, behind her were Kakashi, Sai, Kiba, Shino, Kankuro and bringing up the rear were Yuki and Kurama.
Both animals ignored the group of people and made their way once more, Kurama stopped in front of Naruto, the blonde giving the fox a thank you smile but the fox huffed and held it's noise high in the air, the blonde went ridged as he stuck his tongue at the fox immaturely. Yuki also stopped in front of Miki, she came down to the wolf's level and patted it's head affectionately. Naruto grumbled at the two while Miki ignored him, but inwardly she was giggling at the jealous blonde.
Kankuro decided to lag behind the leaf ninja because Tsunade wasn't his leader at all, it was his older sister, Temari and before her was their little brother, Gaara. Who he missed real dearly, grinning at them fondly. He placed his hands behind his head and looked passed them, to only stop his arms in mid-action and look at the other four people with a stunned expression.
Kankuro took in a sharp intake of breath, doing a double take and rub his eye's at least twice to see that his mind wasn't playing tricks on him, heck he even pinched his arm hard, wincing slightly. But Gaara didn't disappear from his vision what so ever, he was still their right in front of his eye's. That only meant one thing, he was alive and well.
Slowly moving towards his little brother, ignoring the people surrounding the Hokage, he stopped in front him eyes he glanced down at him slightly. Since he was a good few inches taller than him, and smiled down at him.
Gaara smirked inwardly at his older brother's face and the actions that he was doing. Gaara knew that his brother was trying to comprehend if he was real or not, and to see if all of this was just a dream. But didn't do anything to help calm down his older brother's nerves and just stood rooted to his spot, but he did roll his eye's slightly when he saw his wife from the corner of his eye's looking at him and then to Kankuro and then back to him again.
Gaara knew that she was bored since Naruto was busy as well as he, knowing his wife she was going to wait for the perfect time to get the blondes attention and do some mock sparring since they haven't been doing anything lately since they were preoccupied with the kids rampage.
Naruto irritated since no one bothered to look who was with her! Maybe it were the clothes that they were wearing? Yeah, because priest's type of clothes were the last thing he would find himself wearing. He cut Kankuro some slack since he was the only one to notice that Tsunade wasn't the only one around.
Trying to get their attention, he tried jumping up and down, doing funny faces but none seem to work. So he slumped his shoulder's down in defeat as while as his head.
'come on think of something Naruto would do'
'the thing your probably thinking of, boarders the lines of idiotic and stupid that would get your ass kicked'
A voice interrupted the blonde but he he heard that voice for his whole life and already knew who to look at, he looked at the fox and glared half heartedly at the fox. Naruto's face brightened up when his idea came to and he smiled at the fox. A mischievous fox grin made it's way onto his face as he chuckled to himself.
"You look like shit Sakura."
Naruto said in a cherry voice, causing a vein to appear on the pinkettes forehead "You never changed one bit, not at all." she let out a frustrated scream and ran towards the blonde throwing a punch to his face. As she hastily left the group and charged at her insulter, making them look at her in confusion.
Kakashi, Sai, Kiba, Shino and Shizune, if possible their eyes grew wide as their eye's landed on the person it was their long lost friends and teammates, the loud, trouble making, knuckle headed, unpredictable blonde ninja, along with the ever nervous, independent, blushing indigo ninja, and the cool, calmed, bad boy, deadly fiery Kazekage.
Naruto let out a small chuckle as he took a couple steps away from Hinata, at the last second when Sakura's fist was supposed to connect with his face. He brought up his right arm, using his forearm he blocked the pinkettes punch as he used to the same arm and grabbed her wrist, bringing her close to his body and looked down at her smiling as she looked up at him.
"There's the Sakua I know and love."
Sakura thought she was seeing a ghost, blonde hair, cerulean eye's, fox like features and smiles. The same loving and caring hug that always calmed her down. Their was no doubt about it, the longer he held her the more real he seemed, this was her idiot of a friend, her long lost teammate.
Sakura down casted her eye's as she let out a laugh, this confused Naruto slightly, he tilted his side to the side as he continued to look at her.
"Sakura?"
"You idiot." Sakura whispered as she continued to laugh "your such in idiot. You freaking idiot!" she yelled the last part she looked at Naruto with angry eyes as tears streamed down her face.
"Yes I know I'm an idiot, but that's what makes me so lovable and unpredictable."
Naruto said as he pulled away from her, but not before shooting Miki a half hearted glare when he heard her whisper 'that's the understatement of the year', looking down at her and wiggled his eyebrows.
Sakura let a whole hearted laugh rack through her body, man did she really need one of those its been so long since she could have a good laugh, hugging Naruto tighter than before, nuzzling her face within his chest, taking his presences in, making Naruto blush and gape at her slightly.
"Now who's the, I quote "little girl" about public display, huh Na-ru-to."
Miki smugly said as she had her hands on her hips, eyes laughing at him as he could only glare at her for using his words on him from earlier.
"Your so lucky shes holding me, Miki."
Naruto bit out as he tried to ignore the obvious bait Miki was holding out for him, but since he was Naruto, he lost it when she got into a mock frightened stance looking at him with eyes brimming with tears and laced with faked fear. Both Naruto and Miki were oblivious to the people who were slowly inching their way away from them because of the sure mock battle that was about to come from the two people
"I'm so scared of the big bad foxy woxy."
Miki teased as she backed up few feet away from the fuming blonde and got into her fighting stance, smirk upon her face.
"That's it! Your going down wolf!"
Naruto snapped as he bared his teeth at her, not knowing that Sakura moved away from him shaking her head at him. The blonde didn't bother getting into his stance, since he wasn't patient person to begin with, charging in he raised his left arm pulling it back getting ready to throw a left hook at the giggly female.
"Bring it fox!"
Miki yelled in glee as she took a few more steps back and then shot forward, copying the blonde ninja that was racing towards her, but instead of her left it was her right.
Both fighters were mere feet away from one another, before their punches could connect, a slightly strong gust sweeps through them making their hair sway vigorously, they turned their heads towards the river basin once they heard the water being disturbed, the winds not making it any better as they became stronger making everyone close their eyes tightly. Once the winds died down, everyone's eyes were still closed, but they quickly shot open when they heard screams followed by what sounded like water splashing every, then silence.
Everyone quickly turned their heads to where the supposed fighting duo suppose to be, concerned became preplexed. Naruto was granted the privileged of being on the bottom of the pile of adults, while Kaze was for the kids, the order was from bottom to top. Naruto, Miki,Neji, Temari and Sasuke. Kaze, Isamu, Atsuiko with Kisa happily perched on top of the fiery child's back swinging her legs back and forth merrily, giggling at the people below her discomfort.
"You guys should learn how to land on you feet!" Kisa chirped
"Get off!"
Everyone below her yelled, sadly making the poor girl go flying but lucky for her she had her mothers grace and made a perfect landing to the said woman, who could only shake her head at her in disappointment but her eyes were clearly shown with amusement.
No one dared to make a move to help with the adult pile because they could feel a pissed off aura radiating from the blonde on the bottom who was clearly glaring through his at nothing in particular since his face was buried in the ground.
º°ºº°ºº°ºº°ºº°ºº°ºº°ºº°ºº°º
A few insults and painful landings later, a boxer wearing Naruto, next to Sasuke's head who was still out cold and wrapped in a blanket, was sitting indian style in a circle that everyone had formed, with his hands placed firmly on his knees as he continued to glare at the fire that Kakashi had kindly built for them.
Both Isamu and Kaze, along with Kisa and Atsuiko who were next to Miki, since Hinata was next to Neji and Gaara was next to Temari, wrapped snugly in blankets that Hinata had offered them, which Naruto refused since he was pissed off and did not bothering answering the Hyuuga heiress who just shrugged her shoulders and gave a blanket each to the boys. Miki also refused a blanket since they only brought along a limited supply, saying that the new arrivals, meaning Neji, Temari and Sasuke, needed them more since they were still out cold thanks to the boys, she settled instead using Gaara's haori as her blanket.
Naruto sighed as he looked at the sleeping raven next to him, he looked so peaceful and at ease when he was asleep, so not like the pole up his ass, cold hearted bastard he was when he was up and about. Sighing once more Naruto brought his legs to his chest and wrapped an arm around them as he placed his he head on top of his knees. With he other arm he unconsciously ran his fingers through Sauske's hair once before making his way to his face and caressing his left cheek.
Naruto smiled when Sasuke leaned his face more into Naruto's touch, but he stiffened and stopped his movement's when Sasuke's eyes started to flutter, and look up at him.
"N-naruto."
"Bastard."
Yay! All of them are reunited, well not everyone but still! Til next time guys bye-bye which would be out soon...hopefully.
Reviews are nice!
