Tiramisu


"Tag! You're it!" And Sakura ran away quickly before Sasuke could retaliate.

"Aren't you a bit too old to play this game?"

A young Kakashi asked the tiny tots tottering about the place, girls on one side, the guys on the other.

What an exciting B ranked mission this turned out to be. Technically baby sitting isn't even D ranked, but these kids were mostly from clans.

Beside him, Itachi, Hana and Anko stood, all concentrated on the kids with various expressions.

He sighed.

Kiba and Shikamaru led the boys, while Sasuke thoroughly rubbed his face and followed. A minute later, Tenten got tagged and she ran behind Shikamaru, screaming threats in his wake.

Anko laughed loud, cheering Ino as she kissed Sasuke and waited for him to kiss back. Sasuke made a face and ran away from her instead.

"Nii-san! I hate this game already!"

A quiet Shino pecked a tiny, barely walking Hanabi, carried her in his short arms and walked away as the boys suddenly turned direction from their pursuit.

Itachi smirked as he watched the girls run behind Sasuke again. Thank God for his speed.

A tiny Hinata stared at everyone running about. She really wanted to kiss someone too, but it would be awkward.

Mother always said that kisses were for the ones you loved.

Hinata already loved someone but he wasn't even playing. Naruto was sitting under a tree, behind the tree. Others couldn't see him but Hinata could.

She walked behind it, towards where he was sitting. His sobs were quiet, his small hands rubbing against his eyes.

Nobody invited him over to play.

How mean.

Hinata sat down beside him and blushed as Naruto stopped and looked at her.

"N-Naruto-kun…" Then Hinata, pecked his cheek, tasting the salt tracks on them. "Tag… Y-you're it…"

The Hyuuga ran as fast as her small legs could as the young Uzumaki wiped his face and chased her, a smile as bright as the sunlight on him.


Tiramisu flavor as requested by random reviewer and the plot line requested by Peridot0814. Yes, I have been horrible off the track with the fic, but bwah.

Also, does anybody read 'Romantically Apocalyptic'? It's by Alexius, and it is aweeeeeeesome!

PS: Enjoy and ignore her daily ranting. Next chapter will be quick enough...we think. o.o
