Naruto Primer Lost Chapter: Team Kurenai

They're Only Twelve

You see, this was one of those chapters that made us think twice about submitting. It was written for the ORIGINAL Naruto Primer but upon completion, we read it through and thought, "No." and it becamse a lost chapter. We weren't even going to submit it to THIS one but we figured that chapters like this one are the whole reason we put this second one up. So, to avoid making it become a lost LOST chapter, we have submitted it. You are not allowed to hold this chapter against us. You have been warned.

Hinata turned to the last page of the third Harry Potter book. After she finished it up, she closed the cover and gave a heavy sigh. "No matter how many times I read it, it just gets better." She said. "I love Harry Potter!"

"I love Harry Potter too!!" said Kiba enthusiastically as he poked his head up behind Hinata's shoulder.

"Really?" said Hinata. "Have you read the books?"

"No, but I've seen the movie!" said Kiba.

"All of them?" Hinata asked.

"There's more than one?!" Kiba gasped.

"Yeah!" said Hinata.

The conversation sort of died at that point.

"I'm bored." Said Kiba. "Let's play a game."

"How about Harry Potter?" suggested Hinata excitedly.

"That's a great idea!" said Kiba. "I'll be Harry Potter! And Akamaru can be Harry Potter's owl!"

"And I'll be Hermione!" said Hinata.

"And Shino can be Ron!" Kiba finished as the two of them looked at Shino who WAS standing there contrary to popular belief.

"I'm not playing Harry Potter." Said Shino.

"Yes you are." Laughed Kiba as if Shino had told a joke.

"No I'm not." Said Shino.

Kiba stared at Shino long and hard and then looked back at Hinata. "So what should our mission be?" he asked.

"We have to get rid of Lord Voldamort!" said Hinata.

"I think we should cast a spell." Said Kiba.

"That too!" said Hinata.

"Abrakadabra!" said Kiba excitedly as he waved his finger around.

"I think it's important that we find Professor Dumbledore and ask him to teach us some REAL spells." Said Hinata.

"Okay!" said Kiba. "Come on, Ron! Let's go find Professor Dumbledore."

Kiba and Hinata then sprinted off to find Professor Dumbledore. Shino stood there for a minute and then followed after them. He wasn't going to play Harry Potter, but he figured he might as well just follow them so they wouldn't cry later.

"Where do you think Dumbledore is, Hermione?" Kiba asked.

"I don't know, Harry!" said Hinata. "Hey look! Isn't that Iruka?"

Kiba watched as Iruka strolled by.

"No!" said Kiba. "It's Professor Dumbledore!"

Hinata looked confused at first but then she figured it out. "Oh right!" she said happily. "Let's ask him to teach us some spells!"

They ran over to Iruka and stopped him in his tracks.

"Professor, please teach us some magic spells!" said Kiba.

"What?" said Iruka with a raised eyebrow.

"They're playing Harry Potter." Shino explained. "And you're Professor Dumbledore."

"Oh." Said Iruka, nodding. "Um…okay. Students of mine… you have to er… I can't teach you any spells unless you have wands."

"Oh right." Said Kiba. "Hinata, where can we get wands?"

"I'm Hermione!" said Hinata.

"That's what I meant!" said Kiba. "But where can we get wands?"

"At the Wand Shop of course!" Hinata laughed.

"Good idea!" said Kiba. "Let's go get some wands!"

The two of them left.

"Wait…you're playing Harry Potter?" Iruka said, pointing at Shino.

"I'M not." Said Shino.

"COME ON RON!!" yelled Kiba. "HURRY UP!!"

Shino didn't move. "I'm leaving." He said to Iruka and then he left, following after Kiba and Hinata. Iruka chuckled to himself and remembered the good times when he was a furling. But then he remembered that his times as a furling were NOT good and he never got an opportunity to play Harry Potter. So he got sad and stopped chuckling.

BUT ANYWAY! Kiba, Hinata and Shino were in search of a keen Wand Shop. Finally, they found one.

"We DEMAND wands!" said Kiba as he flung the door open.

"…Um…welcome?" Ino said as the three entered her flower shop.

"Ino, they're playing Harry Potter." Shino said.

"Really?" said Ino. "Can I be Hermione?"

"No, Hinata is Hermione." Said Kiba immediately. "We already have Harry, Ron AND Hermione."

"You can be Ron, I'm not playing." Said Shino.

"I'm not going to be RON." Said Ino.

"Besides, you have to sell us some wands!" said Kiba.

"I don't want to play if I have to be some stupid old guy in a wand shop." Said Ino, crossing her arms.

"Fine!" said Kiba. "Your wands are lame anyway."

Kiba led Hinata and Shino back outside. "Now where are we going to get wands, Harry?" Hinata asked.

"Hmmm…" said Kiba curiously. "How about…"

But he was interrupted because he gasped loudly.

"What is it?" Hinata asked, sounding concerned.

"It's Professor Snape!" Kiba yelled, pointing at Kurenai who was walking towards them. "Wait, no! Voldemort is attached to the back of Professor Snape's head!! We must defeat him!"

"But how?" Hinata asked. "We don't have our wands!"

"RON can save us!" said Kiba. "And only Ron."

"I'm not playing." Said Shino just as Kurenai reached them.

"What are you three up to?" she asked.

"Don't fall for it…it's a trick!" said Kiba as he jumped in front of Hinata and Shino to protect them.

"Kiba, I'm not playing." Said Shino, pushing Kiba away and demanding his personal space.

"The name's Harry." Said Kiba.

"Oh, are you three playing Harry Potter?" Kurenai asked in the "That's so cute!" tone.

"I'M not." Said Shino. "They are."

"It's okay for you to play Harry Potter, Shino." Said Kurenai. "You're only twelve, after all. It's perfectly normal."

"But I'm not playing." Shino insisted.

"Oh yes you are." Said Kurenai as she patted Shino on the head but regretted it a second later when she found bugs all over her hand.

"I don't even know what or who Harry Potter is." Shino said.

"You can still play it!" said Kurenai.

"But I'm not." Said Shino.

"Ron, why are you being so familiar with Lord Voldemort?" Kiba asked.

"I'M Lord Voldemort?" Kurenai said.

"No, you're Professor Snape who is possessed by Lord Voldemort." Hinata clarified.

"That's even worse!" said Kurenai. "Can't I be Hermione?"

"HINATA is Hermione!" said Kiba as if ten thousand people had asked to be Hermione that day. "I'M Harry and Shino is Ron."

"I'm not playing." Said Shino.

"You have to play." Said Kiba.

"I'm only playing if I get to be Hermione." Said Shino.

Kiba was utterly stupefied for a moment. "HINATA is Hermione!" he finally managed to spatter out. "Shino, if you're not Ron then you can't be anyone at all!"

"Fine." Said Shino as he turned around and walked off into the sunset. Even though there was no sunset because the sun had exploded. But not really. The sun was actually just somewhere in the sky instead of setting.
