Here we are, a new chappie! The title will be explain below, in my actual fic.

On a side note, I went to Ai-kon 2008, dressed as Tamaki from Ouran (Episode 8) but everyone thought I was Near from Death Note :(. I got a few death glares. But, anyway, I bought a Kakashi plushie, and it was the cutest thing, he's actually beside me right now.

Aside from my convention woes, read on!

The next morning I awoke to the sweet, sweet sound of Naruto screaming.

"Argh, what the hell is this doing in my bag?!" Naruto screeched.

He could be heard clearly, even from the next tent over.

My eyelids fluttered open. What was wrong with Naruto this time?

Kakashi shot up, ninja reflexes working no doubt.

I sat blearily. "I guess he found my bag" I muttered as I remember Naruto had been carrying it and I had left it in the tent.

Kakashi unzipped his sleeping bag and stood up, although he had to crouch over. I started to stand up too, but I tripped and fell over my sleeping bag. Kakashi made his way out of the tent, laughing at my attempts at untangling myself from my sleeping bag.

Eventually I did manage to escape from the sleeping bag of doom.

I clambered out of the tent, finding only Sasuke sitting outside, cell phone in hand.

"Where's Kakashi?" I inquired.

Naruto was still freaking out, and Sakura I didn't care about.

"Taking a walk" Sasuke said with a shrug.

I nodded and plopped down on the ground next to Sasuke. "Any idea what's wrong with Naruto?"

"Found a bra in his bag" Sasuke explained.

I laughed. Poor kid.

"Who're you texting?" I asked as I noticed Sasuke's thumb flying rapidly over the numbers.

"None of your business" Sasuke grumbled.

"Y'know, if we were attacked, you'd be the first one to go because you're texting" I said sagely with a nod.

"It's a girl" Sasuke sighed.

"So, you're not gay?" I clarified in amazement.

Sasuke glared at me.

"Her name is Alice" Sasuke offered.

"Ah" I murmured. "Do you like this 'Alice'?"

"I guess you could say that" Sasuke said simply.

I was really tempted to make a 'gay' comment, but I restrained myself.

"How'd you meet her?" I asked, trying to hide my surprise that he had met a girl that wasn't a fan girl.

"In Konoha" Sasuke paused nervously, "Somewhere."

"You were in a bar, weren't you?" I accused, giving him a dirty glare.

Sasuke seemed oddly relieved by my guess. I furrowed my brows. He was hiding something.

"Yeah" Sasuke confirmed, still acting like he was lying.

"Oh, okay" I shrugged.

We sat in silence for a few moments as I watched him texting.

A small smile twitched on his lips as he read something on the screen.

I narrowed my eyes. There had to be something about this Alice kid, Sasuke just didn't smile.

"So, what's so special about this Alice kid?" I demanded curiously.

"Well" Sasuke took a deep breath, "She's nice, and she's really pretty with brown hair and chocolate eyes" –I rolled my eyes. Teenagers and their love affairs- "She likes a lot of the same things I do."

I started to zone out slightly. It was scaring me that Sasuke was talking so much.

"And she doesn't stalk me!" Sasuke finished with such vigor I was stunned for a moment.

"I could see how that would be a turn on" I said in agreement. I paused before asking, "So, does this mean you now have a girlfriend?"

Sasuke shrugged, "I like her a lot, and I like being around her. She makes me laugh" –I blinked. He could laugh?- "It's kinda like the way you feel about Kakashi, you know?"

Blood rushed to my face. What was he talking about? The way I feel about Kakashi?

"Maybe I do" I admitted grudgingly, knowing damn well that he'd figure it out himself anyway.

Sasuke smirked. "I didn't you'd actually admit to it."

My face turned a deeper shade of red.

I stammered out gibberish as I tried and failed to think of an excuse.

I didn't like Kakashi that way. Well, I didn't think I did.

Then again, that would explain why my heartbeat would speed up slightly whenever I was around him, and why I couldn't make eye contact.

It would also explain why I still spent time with him even though it was awkward.

Okay, so maybe I did like him that way. I wasn't going to admit it to him.

"Don't tell anyone!" I commanded Sasuke sternly.

He smirked at me confidently. I had a sinking feeling he was planning something I didn't want to know about.

"Fine, as long as you let me sneak out to meet Alice" Sasuke said.

I sighed, this was so blackmail. "Fine."

Sasuke continued to smirk.

"I'm being blackmailed by a twelve-year-old" I complained to no one.

Naruto had stopped screaming, but still hadn't emerged. Neither had Sakura, although I think I heard 'Oh my Darling Clementine' coming from inside the tent.

I looked up as I heard footsteps padding across the dirt. Kakashi walked over, flicking us a quick wave.

"Naruto's shut up I see" Kakashi commented.

Sasuke threw a glance at me, a searching one. I could tell he was searching for any sign that I liked Kakashi, either for further blackmail purposes, or just so he could really tell.

I nodded. "Yeah, thank God he's finally decided to be quiet" I agreed gratefully.

"You don't look like a tomato today" Kakashi quipped.

My face flushed as I stuck my tongue out at him.
Sasuke saw the blush and smirked knowingly. I turned and stuck my tongue out at him too before standing up and marching off towards Naruto's tent.

"I'm gonna go get my things" I muttered, unzipping the flap to Sakura's side. I tripped over the bottom part and fell inside.

Sakura jumped as I landed face-first next to her.

"Does Naruto still have my bag?" I mumbled into the tent fabric.

"Uh, yeah, I think so" Sakura informed me.

I sat up quickly, lifting the little tent divider thinger.

Naruto was sitting cross-legged, surrounded by a large amount of my clothing.

"I take it this is your bag" Naruto guessed sourly.

"Good guess Sherlock" I commented dryly.

Naruto slowly began throwing everything that was scattered out around him back into the bag. I watched aimlessly. I didn't plan on helping, but I really had nothing better to do.

Sasuke stuck his head into the tent. "Can you pass me my bag?"

"That one?" I inquired, tilting my head to the side and pointing to a large bag in the corner.

Sasuke nodded.

"Naruto, go get it" I commanded.

Naruto grumbled, but obliged. He picked up the bag before almost toppling forwards. "What's in here, a load of bricks?" Naruto whined, before attempting to lift it again. He succeeded this time and handed it over to Sasuke, who handled the weight with manly grace.

He disappeared into the outside world, leaving me and Naruto with the task of cleaning up all my stuff.

Which, naturally, meant that I was going to watch while Naruto did all the work.

Eventually I got bored of watching Naruto grimace as he picked up some various form of girls clothing and went outside to see what Sasuke was up too.

I blinked in surprise as I laid eyes on what Sasuke was unpacking. He sat crossed-legged on the ground, surrounded by various sorts of cooking tools.

"A toaster?" I inquired, eyeing the kid curiously.

"Solar powered" he muttered absently.

I raised an eyebrow. Was the toaster solar-powered or was he referring to something else all-together?

I stood, staring dumbstruck as Sasuke removed one thing after the other, all food related.

Soon he had a mini-kitchen sorta thing surrounding him. I blinked off the general shock of the scene before commenting, "Where's your easy-bake oven?"

Sasuke shrugged in the direction of his bag. "In there" He said dully.

I remained unsure of what was stranger. The fact that Sasuke actually brought cooking stuff with him or the fact he brought an easy bake over.

"Woah" Kakashi was suddenly behind me, his expression most likely mirroring my own when I first saw the mess.

"What sudden crazy idea told you to bring along a mini-kitchen" Kakashi inquired, tilting his head to the side curiously.

"The fact that none of you idiots would think to bring any sort of food along" Sasuke muttered.

"Fairy-princess makes a good point" I said in agreement. At that moment I officially decided his nickname was going to be Fairy-Princess.

He glowered at him, knotting his eyebrows together.

I grinned and ducked behind Kakashi for protection.

"What's for breakfast?" Sakura inquired, sticking her head out of the tent flap.

Her face showed shock as she saw her beloved Sasuke sitting around cooking tools, placing bread into an apparently solar powered toaster.

She ducked back into the tent for a second before remerging from the tent.

"I thought I was dreaming" She muttered.

"Me too" I agreed.

"Well this is strange" Kakashi said.

Sakura stuck her hand back into the tent for a moment, pulling out her notebook. She scribbled something down quickly, mouthing out what she was writing. It was something like "Sasuke can cook. Put in manga".

I shuddered at the memory of the manga.

"What's strange?" Naruto asked from inside the tent.

I jumped, as I had completely forgotten Naruto was even around.

"Sasuke's cooking" I hissed, just loud enough so Naruto could hear.

"What?!" Naruto exclaimed. I saw the top of the tent move up slightly, so I figured Naruto had jumped up.

Naruto fell out of tent, landing with a thud on the ground.

"Graceful" I commented dryly. Naruto shot up quickly, sitting cross-legged on the ground.

I watched in amusement as Naruto's jaw dropped at the sight of Sasuke's little mini-kitchen.

"Ah-bah-a-uh-wah" Naruto stammered in amazement

"We felt the same too, don't worry" I said soothingly, patting Naruto's head.

Naruto turned to give me an odd look.

I smiled brightly. It was always amusing to frighten them.

I frowned suddenly. It was suddenly to get cool. An odd thing to happen suddenly in the morning.

Unless…

I glanced up to the sky. Slowly but surely grey clouds were moving in over the horizon, and I was slowly becoming aware of the odd feeling of rain in the air.

Unless it was going to rain.

"Hate to make Sasuke hurry up with his cooking" I began slowly, "But it looks like we're going to get a rainstorm."

Kakashi glanced upwards. "So it does" He muttered in agreement.

"Toast is ready" Sasuke said suddenly, turning around holding four slices of browned bread.

"Oh-uhm-Thank you, Sasuke" Sakura stammered, blushing.

I rolled my eyes as Sasuke blatantly ignored Sakura when she took the toast from his outstretched hand.

Teenagers were truly frightening people.

Naruto reached out to grab a piece of toast.

My stomach grumbled loudly. I was seriously hungry. I lunged forward, snatching the toast from Sasuke's palm.

Naruto glowered at me as he grabbed another piece.

I shoved it in my mouth savagely.

"Mmm food" I mumbled, spewing toast crumbs into the crisp air.

"You're a pig" Sasuke informed me bluntly.

I grinned, using my wrist to wipe away some stray toast crumbs. "So you noticed."

"It's hard not too" Sasuke muttered to himself.

I scowled at him menacingly. Which didn't seem to faze him in the slightest.

Damn, I have to practice my menacing glare.

I finished eating my toast and went to go get my back and change clothes. With the oncoming rain I was hoping to find something warmer.

I sighed as I rummaged through my bag. Leave it to me to forget to pack any form of sweater. The warmest thing I probably had was a black T-shirt and a pair of Capri's. I sighed, knowing I would have to make do. I pulled on my clothes and reemerged from the tent, only to find everyone else wearing warmer clothing.

Kakashi had a trench coat pulled over his shirt and vest. Naruto really had no reason to change; his orange jumpsuit was seemingly warm enough. Sasuke had slipped a darker, black shirt underneath his normal T-shirt. Sakura wore a stylish green sweater with a heart shaped button attached to the side.

"You're wearing that?" Kakashi inquired, looking at me curiously.

"It's the warmest thing I brought" I replied with a shrug.

Sasuke rolled his eyes, mouthing 'idiot'.

I grinned sheepishly.

"I'm starting to wonder how you managed to live as long as you did" Kakashi commented.

I shrugged. In truth, I wondered too. Sometimes I've done some really stupid things.

"Don't we all" I agreed.

"C'mon, let's go!" Naruto moaned.

"We've got to pack first" Kakashi reminded solemnly.

Using the great power of teamwork we- Okay, Kakashi and Sasuke- slowly disassembled the tent (Once we had removed our bags and such).

So, half an hour later we were on our way. Sakura had resumed her drawing, and humming, much to my immense displeasure.

I walked beside Sasuke, having decided that walking by Kakashi would only further Sasuke's theories. He pulled out his phone suddenly, his eyes scanning over a text.

I realized that walking beside him would be boring, so I walked over to Naruto. "So, how's it going?" I asked brightly.

"Boring!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Yeah" I sighed.

We walked in silence again. The air was starting to get rather chilly. I folded my arms around myself, running my hands up and down my arms. My attempt at keeping myself warm was a futile one. By the time the grey clouds had covered the sky like a curtain I was shivering.

"Sensei, are you okay, you're shaking" Naruto commented, looking at me in concern.

"I'm fine" I tried to assure him. It was my fault I didn't have a sweater, it wouldn't be right to say I was cold.

"Shaking is normal for you?" Naruto asked doubtfully, eyebrow used.

"Yes" I scowled.

Naruto cowered at my glance, closing his mouth.

I wrapped my arms tighter around myself. I couldn't let myself seem cold.

I felt something warm drape around my shoulders suddenly. I blinked, glancing down. It was a coat. Glancing up, I realized Kakashi was the one who had given it to me.

"No" I protested, "You keep it!"

He looked at me kindly, "You probably need it more than I do." He gestured to his vest and long-sleeved shirt.

I realized that I was blushing and abruptly shifted my gaze to the ground. I heard Sasuke's snicker.

"Thanks" I mumbled gratefully, grabbing the sides and wrapping it tighter around me.

As much as I felt like a creep for noticing, the coat smelled like Kakashi. I didn't purposely smell it though!

We walked in silence for a while, pretty much because I was blushing and didn't want to look up to talk, and Sakura was too busy drawing her yaoi manga.

I felt something cold hit my head. I glanced up towards the sky. It was completely clouded over, making it a bleary shade of gray.

A few more wet drops hit my face. "Rain" I muttered smiling. I love the rain, it was really relaxing.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Sakura shielding her notebook, making me chuckle. That was an evil notebook as far as I was concerned.

"Well," Kakashi began slowly, "Let's find a place to sit this out."

Hahahah, Sasuke has an Easy Bake Oven. Makes me laugh everytime I read it.

I really have nothing else to comment on down here...sad.

Well! R&R!
