Returning Uchihas
Ah, another lovely afternoon in Konohagakure. Everybody was all pysched up for tomorrow's festival, the summer festival in Konoha when it celebrates the joy of love. Traditionally, you would either take a lover with you or give a gift to somebody special to you. Obviously, all the girls were all excited about it. Especially our favorite kunoichis Sakura, Ino, Hinata, and Tenten as they ate at a small sweet's shop enjoying their time and talking about their lives.
"Mou! Can't you guys wait for tomorrow's festival?!" Ino exclaimed.
"Of course not, Ino-chan!" Sakura replied joyfully. "We have to go shopping together to get our kimonos!"
Quietly, Hinata nodded in agreement. "I-I-I-I would like to j-join along."
"Of course you are, Hinata." Sakura said. "All of us are going."
Tenten moaned. "Do we really have to wear a kimono to the festival, Sakura?" she said as she took a sip of tea.
"No, but you should if you want to impress Neji, Tenten." Ino answered slyly.
Immediately, Tenten spat out her tea as it splashed on Ino's face. The weapon mistress's face was completely red.
"W-w-w-what do you mean impress Neji?!" Tenten yelled embarassed. "H-h-h-he's my friend! What reason would I wanna impress Neji out of all people?!"
"Well, he is your teammate, and you do seem to show feelings for him." Sakura replied cheerfully. "Also, you two make a great couple!"
"Hmp! Same to you and Sasuke-san, Sakura." Tenten teased right back.
At the mention of that, Sakura blushed with 10 shades of red, both in embarassment and anger. "W-w-w-wait a minute! Me and Sasuke-kun are NOT a couple! We are just close friends who understand each other well and care for one another!"
Ino gave Sakura weird look. "Sakura, that's love."
Sakura turned the other way flushed. "Well Tenten, let's find a good kimono for you to-"
"DON'T YOU DARE CHANGE THE SUBJECT, FOREHEAD GIRL!"
"WANT TO TAKE THAT BACK, INO-PIG?!"
And so the rambling of the good friends goes on and on. Hinata, being quiet as ever, sighed. Mou Sasuke-san, I hope you have something in store for Sakura...
Flashback
At the Uchiha Manor, Hinata sat nearby the table drinking tea after giving a gift of rice cakes to the Uchiha family that consisted of two. Thanking her, Shizuka decided to have Hinata eat lunch with her and Sasuke as the Hyuuga heiress quetly agreed. Sasuke, nonetheless, didn't mind at all as he was shining his kunai. As the elder Uchiha was washing dishes, both Shizuka and Hinata were chatting about the upcoming festival in their village quiet happily.
"So, you plan on taking Naruto-kun, Hinata-chan?" Shizuka asked.
"N-n-n-no...I-I-I think I will just get him a small present..." Hinata stuttered as she sipped her tea.
Shizuka sighed. "Toughen up, Hinata-chan. He might accept if you ask. Who knows? He'll think it's a date for sure!"
"Yeah, like last time when they 'hung out.'" Sasuke sarcasitcally remarked.
"Sasuke-san, you are going to get something for Sakura, right?" Hinata asked smiling.
"No, why should I?" Sasuke replied.
BAM! Shizuka had just hit Sasuke on the head with a nearby pan out of nowhere. Obviously, both Uchihas were rather pissed. One was, as expected, because he had just gotten hit by a pan by his sister. The other was just pissed at the four words her little brother had just said.
"Oy Shizuka-nei! What the hell was that for?!" Sasuke asked angrily as he rubbed his head.
"What the hell do you mean you're not getting Sakura something, huh?!" Shizuka yelled.
"And I'm asking why?!"
"BECAUSE OF THE FESTIVAL, YOU DA-DAM HEAD!!"
"WHAT THE HELL IS A DA-DAM HEAD?!"
"I DON'T KNOW! I JUST MADE IT UP!"
"You two, q-q-quit it!" Hinata stuttered.
Immediately, the two siblings stopped their argument, yet they were still glaring at one another.
"Sasuke-san, what Shizuka-san means that you should at least get Sakura a small gift for being such a good friend." Hinata explained. "The festival celebrates about love, and well, since you like her-"
"I do not like Sakura, Hinata-kun." Sasuke interrupted angrily.
Shizuka grinned. "Oh, then that means you hate her, Sasuke! Shame on yourself! After all she's done for you!" She teased.
"I don't hate Sakura either!" Sasuke retorted. "We are just good friends who understand each other and care for one another!"
"And that's love!" Shizuka exclaimed cheerfully.
End flashback
Hinata giggled at the current situation as her girl pals were arguing about the silliest things with boys. They manage to say the same things yet again...
"Hinata, you're smiling. What happened that was so good?" Tenten asked out of the blue.
"Eh? I-I-It's nothing! R-r-r-really!" Hinata suttered.
However, all of them were able to see past it. Ino, on the otherhand, grinned.
"Hinata-chan! You're thinking of taking Naruto to the festival with you!" Ino exclaimed like some crazy matchmaker. "He better take you! Cause there are no other girls left that would actually go with him!"
"At least I know Naruto would never go with a pig like you, Ino-chan." Sakura teased.
"Ha! I wouldn't go with him if my life depended on it!" said Ino. "Beside, Shikamaru is taking me-"
"You're going with Shikamaru?!" Sakura asked rather surprised. "Oh my god! That's so awesome!"
"I know! I hope he gets me something!" Ino exclaimed rather girlish like the rest of her friends.
"Of course he will!" Sakura replied as she sipped her tea. "I mean, all the guys must be busy getting things for us at this moment, you know?"
Unfortunately, that was not the case with the guys that Sakura had just mention. When you expected Sasuke, Naruto, Shikamaru, Kiba, Chouji, Neji, and Rock Lee to be finding something special for their female teammates, they were not. Instead, they were rather busy at the moment...eating ramen peacefully at Ichiraku. Most likely a guy time among themselves. What a concidence it was the day before the festival that celebrated love.
Sasuke stared at his blond teammate and friends slurp the noodles loudly as they enjoyed it. He sighed to himself.
"Man, do you guys do anything but eat ramen all day?" Sasuke asked Naruto rather bored.
"Of course Sasuke! This is one of those rare moments when you ACTUALLY bother to hang out with us guys!" Naruto said as he began to drink the soup. "So, to celebrate it, you're eating ramen with us!"
As Naruto finished his bowl, he looked towards the direction of the ramen stand owner. "Oy old man! Give me another bowl!"
Sasuke sighed. "Hn, I could be training by now."
"Agreed, Uchiha." Neji replied whom Sasuke was proud he was not slurping ramen, but meditating on the ground beside them.
"Come on, Sasuke-san, Neji-kun!" Lee exclaimed with his bright smile. "Let us enjoy this bowl of ramen of our springtime of youth!"
"Keep up your youth crap I'll really enjoy beating you up." Sasuke muttered.
"At least it keeps us away from the girls." Shikamaru said as he wiped his mouth. "Women are so troublesome."
"Yeah. Today they seem much more giddly than usual." Chouji agreed. "I mean, I past by them and they were together like their up to something."
"Tell me about it!" Naruto exclaimed as he began yet another bowl of ramen. "I bumped into all if the girls together in this one sweet shop and they yelled at me to get the hell out!"
"Same here! A few days ago they were in a sweet shop too and they were laughing about something!" said Kiba. "What on earth are they thinking about?"
"It's probably a bad thing." Shikamaru assumed. "When woman are together in a group, it's not a good sign. Trust me; I know from experience."
All the men nodded in agreement.
"Ah, you boys are so clueless for you age when it comes to love." said a voice they all recognized.
The boys turned to the other side, there to find Hatake Kakashi with his infamous pink book. He was still the same as ever. Constantly wearing his mask and burying his nose into the Icha Icha Paradise book.
"Kakashi-sensei! It's been a long time!" Naruto exclaimed cheerfully. "Why haven't we had any missions with you for a long time? I thought Team 7 would at least have mission together with the sensei when Sasuke got back!"
"I've been busy..." Kakashi noted.
"Yeah, busy with trying to get women!" Naruto teased.
"Actually, I've gave up on that after Shizuka-chan dumped me." Kakashi replied coolly.
Immediately, Sasuke's eyes widen as he face towards his former jounin teacher. "Y-y-y-you date my sister?!" Sasuke asked as he pointed at Kakashi in fear of the answer.
Under his mask, Kakashi smiled. "Yes, I did. I was her senpai when we we're chuunins. I remember she took me to your Manor and I saw you as a little baby! After she became an ANBU, Shizuka and I began dating when I was 18 and she was 15. Boy was she a hottie! And stubborn like Tsunade herself! But after a year, she dumped me after I proposed marriage to her, giving me a strange gift in forgivness." He explained.
Sasuke stared at him in complete disbelief. "I can't believe you date my sister..."
"Don't tell me the might Uchiha Sasuke actually cares who his older sister dates here and there!" Kakashi chuckled.
"No, it's the fact that if Shizuka-nei didn't dump you, you guys would get married." Sasuke muttered.
"The problem?"
"You would be my brother-in-law, and that's not good." Sasuke answered darkly.
Everybody bursted into laughter (With the exception of Neji, who just chuckled) at what Kakashi just said. Sasuke just stared at his laughing teammate and friends plainly. Naruto was laughing so hard he practically fell off his chair and started pouncing on the ground.
"OH MY GOD THAT IS SO FUNNY! KAKASHI-SENSEI DATED SASUKE'S SISTER! BWAHAHAHAHA!" Naruto exclaimed through his laughter. "I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY ALMOST BECAME BROTHER-IN-LAWS! BWAHAHAHA!!"
"Want me to chidori you ass, dobe?" Sasuke asked darkly as he cracked his knuckles.
Immediately, the laughter ended as Kiba forced out a cough.
'So Kakashi-sensei, what was this gift that Sasuke's sister gave to you?" Kiba asked curiously.
"To be honest, it was a 50 page book on why we should never be together and that I deserve somebody else..." Kakashi answered sadly until a few seconds later, his cheerful face came back. "And a volume of Icha Icha Paradise! Ahahaha! As expected from my ex-girlfriend! Shizuka-chan knows me so well! Ahahahaha!"
As the jounin laughed loudly by himself, everybody stared at him with raised eyebrows.
"I'm guessing Kakashi-sensei forgave her with the book, eh?" Shikamaru assumed.
Once again, everybody nodded in agreement. Soon, Sasuke stood up from his chair.
"That's it, I'm going away now." said Sasuke. "This is pointless."
"Yeah, see ya later Sasuke-teme!" Naruto exclaimed loudly as he waved at his friend.
And so, Sasuke disappeared from their very sight.
Along the road, Sasuke was walking slowly admiring the peaceful afternoon in Konoha. While walking around the village, he decided to stop by a river and just lay in the grass beside it. He sighed to himself.
"Guess it wouldn't hurt to stare at the cloud like that lazy-ass Shikamaru." Sasuke said to himself.
Thus, Sasuke placed his hands behind his head and just stared at the clouds.
Twenty minutes had passed. The sky was completely blue. Nothing. He cringed.
"Damn it, there isn't even a single cloud up there." He muttered to himself.
Assuming that it is now pointless, Sasuke decided to sit up as he rubbed the back of his head and closed his eyes to relax peacefully.
"Man, these days are getting boring." Sasuke complained to himself.
As Sasuke opened his eyes slowly, there was an unusual big brown blob in front of him. He stared at it oddly until decided to rub his eyes. As his vision cleared up, Sasuke now realized the blob was the face of a big, brown dog as it was panting heavily with it's tongue sticking out. Sasuke's eyes widen.
"HOLY CRAP! WHERE THE HELL DID THAT COME FROM?!" Sasuke yelled rather surprised as he jerked back.
However, the dog followed right up to Sasuke's face and began licking his face. The raven-haired boy tried to get the dog to stop, but it was just too big. This was a huge dog. Sasuke found himself once again lying on the ground with the dog on him licking Sasuke to death.
"Damn it, get off me..." Sasuke muttered.
But the dog did not listen. Instead, he continued to lick Sasuke. Finally, Sasuke managed to get the dog to stop licking him as he sat up, the dog by his side. He wiped away the drool the dog gave to him.
"Darn dog, what the hell was that for?" Sasuke cursed even though he realized the dog would not understand.
The brown dog sat there panting heavily. Sasuke examined the dog, realizing it was completely wet everywhere. He assumed the dog just came out of the river after some bath or something. He sighed to himself as he sat up and dusted himself.
"All right, time to get out of this crazy day. I'm going so you better not follow." Sasuke told the dog pointing at it.
Strangely, the dog nodded his head, still panting heavily. Sasuke smirked.
"Well, looks like you can understand." Sasuke muttered. "No following, okay?"
Once again, the dog nodded its big head. Soon, Sasuke began walking again into the road until something heavy landed on his back.
"What the hell-"
Before Sasuke could continue, his face was already heading into the ground. He moaned loudly as he turned to his side. To his anger, it was the same dog, still panting heavily as it licked Sasuke's cheek. The dog had jumped on Sasuke. He gritted his teeth.
"Damn it! I tell you not to follow me, yet you still jump on me?!" Sasuke shouted. "Get off me, you big brute!"
Obeying Sasuke's orders, the dog walked off of Sasuke's back. The raven-haired boy glared at the dog before walking down the road again. Once again, the dog repeated his move: he jumped on Sasuke's back once again as he fell to the ground. Yet again, Sasuke's moaned.
"DAMN IT! WHY CAN'T YOU FIND SOMEBODY ELSE TO FOLLOW?!"
Okay, this story is probably a combination of these two rurouni kenshin episodes and the festival is totally fake, but i had no other idea so yea.
