Ch. 2 Snowball Fight pt. 1
Kakashi sat back in his chair and watched the children eat. It was a tiring game, although exciting. He smiled and put his arms behind his back.
"MORE RAMEN!!!" Naruto yelled holding up his bowl. Sasuke rolled his eyes.
"Naruto! Sit down!" Sakura said, yanking him down. "Don't waste Kakashi Sensei's money."
"But I'm still hungry…" Naruto set down his bowl and watched as the others finished their dinners. Sakura shook her head and sat back in her chair and looked around the table. Neji and Ten-Ten were arguing about something.
"C'mon Neji! Have some more!" Ten-Ten said shoving another bowl into Neji's hands.
"What're you trying to do, make me fat?" He grumbled pushing the bowl away from him. Ten-Ten frowned.
"You need to get fatter." She said. She pinched his arm. "You're too skinny." Neji let out an annoyed sigh and reluctantly grabbed another bowl.
"This is the LAST one." He said pointing his chopsticks in Ten-Ten's face. He began to eat once more.
Chouji was eating his usual amount of food.
"I'm telling you, you really need to eat less. You'd actually look better." Ino nagged.
"Leave him alone, Ino." Shikamaru said. "He doesn't need to be concerned about his weight unlike you girls." He was leaning on his elbow and staring down at his food as if it were… 'troublesome.'
"What are you implying?!" Ino said suddenly glaring at Shikamaru. He moved his eyes slightly to look at her.
"That you're a girl." He said plainly. Ino slapped him on the back.
"You're so boring, Shikamaru-chan!" Ino said loudly. Shikamaru shuddered. Chan, he thought. I'm glad I'm not a girl…
Sakura smiled and turned her head to look at Sasuke. She blushed. He's so cute… She let out and inaudible giggle and continued to stare at him. She looked up when there was the sound of a chair scraping against the stone floor.
"It's late, so I'm gonna go home now." Kiba stretched and Akamaru yawned. He left and was followed by Shino, Hinata, Lee, Neji, Ten-Ten, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Ino, Shikamaru, and Chouji. As soon as they left, the waiter came by and dropped off the bill.
"The bill…" Kakashi stared at the numbers and vowed never to take out twelve kids for dinner ever again.
"Whoa!!! It's snowing!!" Naruto stared out of his bedroom window. It was almost frozen over but he could still see the little white specks fall from the sky. He grinned and leaped out of bed to put on his clothes. By the time he was done, he had on an orange jacket, a black turtleneck, a light-blue scarf, and orange nylon pants that were tucked into dark brown moccasin boots. He raced down and pushed open the door, only, it wouldn't open. He stared at the door. You've got to be kidding me…
"I'M SNOWED INNN!!!!!" He yelled. The echo bounced off the walls and hit him right in the face.
Sasuke turned. In…in…in… He looked around for the source of the echo but found none. He scratched his head. That sounded kind of like Naruto.
"Hm," Sasuke shrugged and continued to trudge down the street to Sakura's house. He had almost forgotten that he had a hot chocolate appointment with her. He sighed and his breath cam out in a white puff of air. I guess I'll just endure it…the sweets… He let out another sigh. Almost there, he thought. So…without a better use of word…troublesome.
As Sasuke stopped in front of Sakura's door, it opened and Sakura stood there holding a plastic bag. There was a look of surprise on her face.
"Sasuke-kun…" She clutched the bag tightly and stared at him. Sasuke turned his head and almost blushed.
"I didn't forget." He lied. He put his hands in his pockets and looked down. Sakura smiled.
"Then… come on in, Sasuke-kun." She said leading Sasuke into the house. Sasuke slipped off his shoes at the doormat as Sakura closed the door behind them. She brought him to the kitchen where her mom was washing the dishes.
"I thought you were going out, Sakura." Her mom said. She turned and looked at Sasuke.
"Your boyfriend?" She asked pointing at him. Sasuke did a double take and Sakura turned tomato red.
"MOM!!" She started to push her mom out of the kitchen. "You're sooo embarrassing!" She whined. "Why don't you go wash the dishes somewhere else?" Her mom stopped outside the kitchen door with a dish and rag in her hand. Sakura slammed the door on her mom and walked over to the table to set down the plastic bag. Sasuke stared at the door for a moment, waiting for Sakura's mom to burst in any time and…
"Parents." Sakura said wearily as she poured a cup of hot chocolate. "Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em." She sat down across from Sasuke and sipped the steaming hot chocolate.
"Won't your mom be mad?" Sasuke asked. He held up the cup, hesitating to drink from it.
"Nah. She's just like that." Sakura said.
"Hmm…" Sasuke looked down at his cup. "Sakura?"
"Yes?" Sakura raised her head from another sip.
"This isn't hot chocolate."
"Huh?"
Sasuke picked up his cup and tilted it for Sakura to see.
"Oh yeah. Naruto told me that you don't like sweets." Sakura said. She smiled. Sasuke looked into his cup again and took a sip. Warmth filled his body. It was tea.
Naruto ran back up the stairs and jumped onto his bed. He unlatched the window and poked his head outside. A cold breeze swept pass and he yanked his head back in. Dammit, it stopped snowing… He stuck his head back out the window. Oh well, I'll just climb out. He pulled back in and stuck his legs out. At that moment, the window slammed onto his chest just as Kakashi was walking by.
"NANDE DATTE BAYOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" He screamed as he struggled vigorously to lift the window up. He kicked his legs in frustration and yelled some really colorful words until he felt someone tap on his knee.
"Oy, what are you doing Naruto?" Came a familiar voice. Kakashi was crouched outside on the first story roof with Icha Icha Paradise in his hand.
"Kakashi sensei!" Naruto exclaimed joyfully. "You came at the right time for once!" Kakashi held up his hand against his ear.
"What was that, Naruto?" He asked.
"HELP ME!" Naruto shouted.
"Say 'please'." Kakashi said grabbing hold of Naruto's ankle.
"PLEA—" Naruto started.
"Good enough." Kakashi grinned under his mask and yanked hard on Naruto's ankle.
Down by Naruto's front door step, Naruto sat picking out some splinters.
"Kakashi sensei is a REALLY bad teacher. I need to send my kids to a school outside of Konoha just to make sure…" He grumbled over and over again. His turtleneck, jacket, and scarf lay beside him. His stomach was red because Kakashi had pulled him out so fast that the edge of the window had scraped against his skin. There was also a giant bruise on his head from hitting the window. A bandage was covering it now. As he finished pulling out the splinters he grabbed another roll of gauze and gently wrapped it around his abdomen. When he was done he stood up and pulled his turtleneck over his head and then put on his jacket. He left his scarf hanging around his neck and he started to walk down the snow covered street. And Kakashi just disappears without even saying sorry…
Naruto looked ahead and spotted a figure. He grinned and bent to pick up some snow. He packed it tightly and got a little closer, then he hurled it at the person's head.
Neji felt something hit the back of his head. Something cold. It ran down his collar into his shirt. A laugh cut through the air and Neji spun around to find Naruto clutching stomach and laughing like a madman. Neji glared at him and stooped to pick up snow just has Naruto had done. He picked some more to make a giant snowball and threw it as hard as he could at Naruto. It hit him square in the face. Neji smiled and turned to walk away. That should teach him to mess with a Hyuuga.
"KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!!"
Neji turned once more and got pelted with snow.
Sakura jumped when she heard something thump loudly against her front door.
"Is someone at the door?" She said to herself. She stood up and motioned for Sasuke to wait. As she neared the front door, another thump sounded. She reached for the door knob and pulled it open only the have her face buried in snow.
"Oh sorry, Sakura-chan!" Kiba called from across the street. He was sitting behind a barrel with Akamaru scouting on top. Sakura's rage seemed to melt the snow. Sasuke appeared behind her and peeked outside.
"What's going—" He stopped as snow filled his mouth.
"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura gasped. She looked back at Kiba who shrugged and pointed down the street. Naruto was waving at them nervously.
"Sorry Sasuke!" He shouted. He started to run toward them until a block of ice hit him in the back of his head. He fell splat onto the ground. Behind him, Neji was looking down at him, clearly amused.
Sasuke wiped the snow away from his face and couldn't help but growl. Sakura rushed out and stood next to Naruto unconscious body to examine him. She gave everyone the thumbs up.
"He's okay!" Sakura shouted. Naruto groaned and sat up.
"What happened?" He looked up and tried to focus his eyes. "Who are you?" Sakura looked at Neji.
"That must've been a really hard block of ice that you hit him over the head with." She said matter-of-factly. Neji shrugged and walked away.
"This is stupid." He muttered. "But at least I got my revenge."
"NEJI! I DIDN'T PELT YOU WITH SNOW UNTIL YOU WERE UNCONSCIOUS DID I?!" Naruto yelled pointing his finger at Neji's back.
"Yeah, but you pelted him with snow until he was almost unconscious." Ten-Ten yelled from somewhere. Sasuke had decided to join Sakura outside when he thought it was safe. Lee, Kiba, Chouji, Shikamaru, Ino, and Ten-Ten came out of their hiding spots and joined Sakura and Sasuke in the middle of the street. Naruto stood up and dusted off all the snow.
"You guys wanna play?" He asked.
"Do we look like we want to play?" Sasuke asked crossing his arms. Naruto stared at the two for a while…
"Maybe…" Naruto said quietly. Sasuke raised an eyebrow.
"C'mon it'll be fun!" Kiba said. Akamaru barked happily from the hood of his jacket. Sakura pointed after Neji.
"He didn't have fun." She said. Ten-Ten waved her hand.
"Pfft. Neji never has fun." She said.
"Fine. We'll play." Sakura said. Sasuke uncrossed his arms.
"We will?" He looked her. Sakura nodded.
"Sasuke, Naruto, and me will play against all of you." She pointed at the rest of the group.
"What?!" Naruto looked around at all of the ninjas. "All of them?" Naruto asked. Sakura nodded again. She leaned over and whispered in his ear.
"I don't think any of them can do Kage Bunshin no Jutsu." Sakura said. Naruto's eyes widened and then he grinned.
"You're sneaky." He said.
"I'm a ninja. I should be." She replied.
"I HEARD THAT!!!!" Kiba yelled. Team seven looked up in surprise.
"You guys can only use Kage Bunshin no Jutsu to match the number of people we have." Ten-Ten said. Naruto turned to Sakura.
"I guess you weren't sneaky enough." He said. Sakura punched him in the face.
"SHUT UP!" She yelled. She turned to the others. "Fine. Whoever loses this game will buy 100 ramen for Naruto!" Naruto's face lit up at once.
"And whoever wins can punch Naruto 100 times." Naruto frowned.
"I don't like that……"
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"
Team seven sat behind a fort building up their snowballs.
"So every time one of your bunshins get hit it'll disappear. So make a new one when that happens." Sakura said. The Narutos nodded and when they were satisfied with their ammo, the war began.
"Lee's fast." Ten-Ten told her team as they sat down behind their fort. "Every now and then, he can run around behind their fort and throw a couple of snowballs at them."
"Shikamaru-kun, you can use your Kage Mane no Jutsu. And Chouji... We can cover you in snow and roll you at them?" She smiled nervously at Chouji, but Chouji gave her a thumbs up.
Back at team seven's fort Sakura was planning.
"As soon as the fight begins, Sasuke. Use your Katon Goukakyuu no Jutsu and melt their fort. Then we'll start throwing our snowballs." She said. She looked over the top of the fort.
"Okay, let's go." Sakura said.
"Hey were you really series when you said that the winner gets to punch me?" Naruto asked. Sasuke stood up.
"Katon Gou—"
"Kage Mane no Jutsu!" Shikamaru yelled.
"Not again!"
Tee hee. Sasuke's gonna have his body controlled again. Review or else I won't put up the next chapter!
Seriously….
-Poochie-Oochie out….
