Chapter: Home Coming

A rays of sunlight approached to Sasuke's eyes, the rays effected Sasuke by waking up and rubbing his eyes to see better, he squinted still looking tired then right next to him was a blonde spiky hair boy in pajamas staring at him.

It gave Sasuke a heart attack, "Oh my bleepin GOD!" He bellowed out.

Naruto felt a premonition on top of him, knowing bad was going to happen, he yelped an excuse, "I just wanted to say good morning to you!"

"But you didn't have to be right up in my face and give me a heart attack!"

"Okay, okay sorry," Naruto apologized.

"Hey what's going on in there," a voice interrupted their conversation.

Hotaru peeked in holding a laundry bag and her Nike sports bag on her back and notice Sasuke awake, "Ah Sasuke, you're awake, there's some breakfast for the both of you on the table, I'm going to the laundry mat so you better be good you two," she instructed and went off.

"I'm starving," stated Naruto rubbing his stomach, so he flew to the kitchen. Sasuke got out of bed, made the bed, and strolled to the kitchen. In there, he saw a pig eating up the whole entire breakfast.

"Naruto, you're going to make yourself sick if you're going to eat that much, you pig!" He muttered.

Naruto looked at him with a stuffed face, "Well, I have a big appetite, unlike someone I know," he scowled at Sasuke. Sasuke just rolled his eyes, pretending he didn't notice the look and went to the table to get some cereal, since Naruto ate the rest of the food.

Naruto patted his stomach, "That food was good, she really is a great cook," he complimented. He looked over to the couch, and saw Hotaru's other bag, he grinned and went over to the couch, Sasuke scowled at him, knowing what he is doing. "Naruto leave her stuff alone!"

"I just want to know more about her, she's only been here for a couple of days so far and I just want to know what she is hiding in here," he dug through her bag and found some medical kits, bathroom accessories, some candy, and more junk. "Well I'll I know about her is that she probably a medical ninja and she is a very personal about her hygiene." Sasuke sighed and kept eating his cereal. Suddenly, Naruto pulled out a few pictures, he looked at the pictures carefully seeing what they are. "Hey Sasuke, come here take a look at these."

"What did you do this time, dope," he left the kitchen table and laid on the couch with Naruto: in the first picture on the left, there was a boy with messy hair like Kakashi's and was blonde wearing a Konoha headband on his forehead, he looked so energetic and growled at the other boy on the other side of the picture in the picture like Naruto did with his, then on the right there was a another boy with orange short hair with the headband on his right shoulder, he had his arms folded looking mad but cool also growled at the guy who growled at him, like Sasuke, then in the middle, a little blonde hair girl kneeling wearing a bandana and the Konoha leaf symbol on it, Naruto and Sasuke both squinted at the girl and Naruto gasped, "That's Hotaru-sama!" Sasuke nodded and looked at the older person who would be the teacher of this team, Naruto saw looked at the picture she the older women with huge breast and blonde hair tied in a pony tail, Naruto's eyeballs popped out, "Eh! That's Grandma Tsunade!"

Sasuke flipped to the next picture, observing a different team, but a group member looked familiar to them Naruto was about to fall down, "That-that's Kakashi-sensei!" Sasuke got tired of his reaction, "Naruto, if this is too much for you then you better go to a different room and do your dramatic emotional reactions there," Naruto gave him a disturbed look, then finally shuts up and continued looking at the picture. A girl in the middle with brown hair and marks on her face, a boy with spiky black hair and goggles on his head. "Hey that boy kind of looks like me, except the colored hair."

"Hm," thought Sasuke, 'that guy…', but then he forgot about it and stared at the teacher, with spiky blonde hair like Naruto and blue eyes like Naruto. He was like the adult version of Naruto. "Eh?" Puzzled Naruto, "He looks like me," Sasuke got tired of his comment then muttered to shut him up, "Everybody looks like you Naruto. Naruto stared at him and gave him another on of those annoying faces, "You don't look like me," Sasuke glared at him, "And I'm glad I don't." He muttered to Naruto, getting him pumped up and rolled his sleeves up ready to punch him. "Hey, Hotaru said we were suppoaed to be good while she was gone," Sasuke explained, "So you better behave." Naruto hesitated and unrolled his sleeves, Sasuke flipped to the next one, then they saw the young Kakashi and the young Hotaru next to each other, Naruto collapsed his hands together and acted like a romantic sweet heart, "Ah, isn't that sweet," Sasuke flipped the picture noticing words on the back, the writing said: Kakashi (right age 6)Hotaru (left age 6 )- became Middle Ninjas. "Wow! They actually became middle ninjas at age six, and I'm not even a middle ninja yet!" Sasuke narrowed his eyebrows, 'How strong is she?'

Mean while…

Hotaru walked along to the house holding a pile of clothes in front of her, she sighed, "That took me forever to get the clothes all washed there," she wasn't paying attention to where she was going and so she bumped accidentally into a person, she dropped a few clothes on top of the guy, not able to see his face, she knelted down, "Oh man, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to—" Te man pulled the Naruto boxers off of him from one hand and holding a book on the other, revealing himself as Kakashi. He stood up holding Naruto's Princess Funn boxers, "Um, I believe this is yours," he said sarcastically while giving a hand to help Hotaru up. She stood up and snatched it from his hands and gave an aggressive explanation, "that's actually Naruto's, do you really think girls wear these things?"

"Well I'm not a girl,"

Her eyebrow twitched from what he said. Then calmed down a bit and shrugged.

"Of course you don't, you don't even respect women anyway so—" As she was looking around she saw a poster hat caught her eye ran up to it, Kakashi shrugged in confusion and followed her to the sign, "Ah—" she gasped happily, "It's a DDR competition, and whoever wins get granted favor from the Fifth Hokage," Kakashi folded his arms looking at her, "Hm, I don't think this is a—," "And I'm going to compete," she cut him off. Kakashi stared at,

"Why must you compete in this."

"Because I like dancing."

"Dancing? so you think you're able to win this tournament?"

"Are doubting me, Hatake?"

"Well, I—"

"Alright Mr.Hatake," she got puffed up and went on closing in on Kakashi very close to his chest, Kakashi looked offended and unfolded his arms, she looked straight up at him being five inches shorter she poked her finger on his chest, "Let's have a bet, if I win you take me out for lunch the next day, if I lose I take you out."

He folded his arms again, "And how are you going to make me agree on this bet?"

She grinned slyly at him and held a book called 'Make Out Paradise', his eyes widen then abruptly searched through his pockets for his book and panicked.

"How did you get that!" He pointed his shaky finger at the finger still looking shocked.

"I have my ways," she still grinned, "You'll get this back if you agree on these terms I gave you."

He quickly nodded and she gave the book back, he calmed down a bit while putting his book away. She picked up the rest of the laundry, turning a away from him and walked home, "I'd expect you to be there tomorrow," she muttered not looking at him. His eyes widen as he stared at her walking away from him, he sighed and shrugged gasping, "Women,"

"I heard that!" she yelled angrily, he fled away like he vanished in thin air.

Back at Naruto's house…

"Seriously Naruto, it's a Queen and a nine, that makes twenty-one!" Sasuke explained to the so called 'not bright' Naruto. As they were playing Black Jack together at the table.

"How do you know how much the Queen is worth," asked the confused Naruto, "It doesn't look like there's a twelve on this card at all!"

"That's the way they make the cards, idiot," Sasuke upbraided him.

"Hey boys, I'm home," hollered a familiar voice.

Naruto raced to the front door as Sasuke strolled there.

They arrived at the door, seeing Hotaru holding 'now' clean laundry.

"Sorry guys it took me forever," Hotaru began, "I just had something caught my eye, and well…someone too I guess," she rolled her eyes thinking about it. "Anyways," she continued as she put the laundry on the couch, "I saw this poster about a Dance Dance Revolution Tournament going on tomorrow and I thought I should compete!"

"What is the grand prize!" Said a curious but very excited as Hotaru could see Naruto looking a bit jumpy in great motivation.

"Well," she went on and sat on the couch putting the laundry basket on the floor and the two sitting on the floor on front of her, "it said that the first prize is one request granted by the fifth, and that kind of got me into the tournament as well," she stuck her tongue out as she patted the back of her head.

"Are you pretty good at dancing? I mean do you have great reflexes and agility?" Asked Sasuke, folding his arms in somewhat curiosity.

"Well," she continued again crossing her legs, "when I was little also, I use to dance a lot around in a places where they're quite and peaceful and just practice during my free-times, but nobody has ever seen me dance before so I don't know if I'm any good at all," she giggled in and bonk her forehead in stupidity.

"Oh, interesting," responded Sasuke unfolding his arms and narrowed her eyes at her when she didn't notice it.

"Hotaru-sama," Naruto got up, "Can we come to the tournament to see you compete?" Asked Naruto, getting more excited about this tournament she's going in.

"Why sure Naruto, I'd love people like you coming to it and supporting a friend," she smiled.

Naruto jumped in excitement and turned to Sasuke still sitting on the floor, "Would you like to come Sasuke?" He invited him.

Sasuke got up with his hands in his pocket, and thought for a moment in silence, then he shrugged, "Why not, but," he continued, "We have to make sure that we don't have practice or missions tomorrow."

"Oh don't worry," added Hotaru as she got up and gave a grin at them, "Your sensei, Kakashi is coming also to the competition."

Sasuke and Naruto mouths were wide open, so were their eyes as they heard her, simultaneously, "Kakashi-sensei is coming!"

She nodded and giggled, "You could say we had a bet on it, but don't ask about it. Anyways, you guys can invite Sakura to watch it also."

"Oh yeah we could invite Saku—" Naruto stood solid, like he was struck by lightning, eyes and mouth widely open. Sasuke didn't know what he was thinking, but he go the strucjk when he saw the clock, "Oh shit, it's 11:48, he have to go to practice!" Naruto panicked.

"Oh, I didn't know you guys had practice, I'm sorry," she apologized to the panicked Naruto and semi-panicked Sasuke.

"It's not you're fault," answered Sasuke, "Some on Naruto let's get dress and get going!"

"Haha!" Hotaru laughed, watching them looked as panicked as she has ever seen, "Isn't Kakashi usually late a lot? I mean you guys might be in a hurry, but he probably isn't there yet!" She picked up the laundry basket and lied it on the couch, beginning to sort the clothes, "Maybe you should calm down just a little but, okay?"

Naruto and Sasuke agree and clam down, "There," she went on, "Here are you twos' daily clothed, they're clean and lemony fresh," she winked at them. They nodded as went to the bedrooms to get their clothes on and head to the training area.

Six hours later…

"Okay," announced Kakashi, "I think that's settles today's mission," the other three were huffing and puffing, taking deep breathes from their work today. Naruto, being held by Sakura thought, "Hey! Why not all of you three come to my house tonight? Hotaru-sama just loves company coming over," he winced at Sasuke, who just sighed as an answer. Sakura jumped gleefully, "I guess I'll have to say yes to Naruto for once."

"Ah, thanks…hey—"

"I'll come," interrupted Kakashi scratching his head and giving a grin, "I'd like to have someone else cook for me tonight," he blushed a little from his comment he gave.

"Great!" Cheerfully said Naruto, "And you Sasuke?"

The dark boy heard him and unfolded his arms and shrugged, "Hn, I don't care."

Naruto gave another cheer and led the team o his house.

On the way…

Naruto kept leading the group to his house and notice a man that looked familiar by the ramen stand, he wore the Konoha vest as a representative for a Konoha ninja, his brown hair was tied into a high pony tail, and a scar across his nose, finally Naruto figured, "Iruka-sensei!" The man turned to Naruto's direction giving him a grin on his face, "Ah Naruto! How are you doing?"

"Ah, well fine. Hey, would you like to come over to my house? Hotaru-sama would really love more company coming!" He grinned widely at the Chuunin.

"Well, I was going to get some ramen here, but I guess your house would be good as well." Iruka decided.

"Great," Naruto cheered he turned to the ramen stand and muttered, "Oh, and I'll have two pork ramen to go please!" He grinned.

Sakura pulled Naruto by the ear, "No idiot! We're going to your house to eat!" She loosened her grip on the ear and Naruto rubbed the tips of it, "Ow, Sakura-chan!" He moaned.

"I guess we better get going," stated Sasuke.

The group nodded and headed towards the house.

In the house…

"Okay," muttered Hotaru wearing a leaf Konoha symbol apron, "Naruto should be coming home soon I hope! So there's two plates on the table right?" As she rambled on worrying about the plates and all, she heard the door bell, she gasped 'That must be Naruto!' she ran to the door grasping the knob of the door, feeling all worried for nothing, she plunged the door and saw a whole group of people, including Naruto in the gang, at the front! She was startled, "Wow, you all startled me all of a sudden!"

"Hello Hotaru!" greeted Naruto and the gang, they walked passed Hotaru who was stunned to see so man people come into this small house, 'I wish we had a bigger house' she thought smiling to the guests in the house, "Well, guys hello! I'm excited that you guys are here: Sasuke, Sakura, Iruka!" Kakashi looked at her in confusion, waving a hand in her face letting her know that he was present in the house, "Hey, hey! What about me?" She didn't look at him and muttered to him, "Yeah, what about you?" Everyone laugh except Kakashi, who was confused in all this nonsense, but then shrugged and gave a smirk about it. Naruto looked at Sasuke, smiling and laughing at it. 'Sasuke smiling? Even laughing?' he thought. He had a huge grin on his face he snuck by Sasuke, mumbling by his ear.

"Eh, eh! Sasuke, you're laughing!" Sasuke heard him in his and reply quickly, "What are you talking about dope, I was just smirking!" He whispered back to Naruto's ear.

Naruto backed off his ear and still was grinning about. Sasuke just sighed and ignoring that grinning that was made for him.

"Dinner's ready," announced Hotaru holding a pot roast in front of her.

At the table…

"Uh, Hotaru-sama," Sasuke mumbled to her in the ear, "you didn't have to make all of this food," he looked at the stir fry, "I could eat ramen like Naruto doing," they viewed at Naruto pigging out on the ramen, barely enough for everyone. Hotaru giggled, "Well, I knew Naruto would just pig out on ramen and just have the whole thing to himself, so I made other things that he doesn't usually eat! And you don't have to call me Hotaru-sama!" She winced at him with a smile on her face. Iruka was having a splendid time eating his food, "This is very good Hotaru-sama, I've never had anything like this," he compliment, "I'm in your debut."

Hotaru blushed at his comment, "Th—thank you Iruka-san." She replied back.

Hotaru scanned the table watching everyone eat and smiled at them, until she noticed Kakashi's head under the table, drinking alcohol at the table with kids! A blood vessel popped out of her skull, "Kakashi, aren't you eating your food," she felt tempered folding her arms in dismay of the situation. Kakashi looked up(with mask on) seeing everyone staring at him for his behavior, "I didn't know Kakashi-sensei was a drinker?" muttered Sakura looking at him. "I didn't know either," added Hotaru eyes shut still with a blood vessel popping out, "I don't think it's a good idea to drink in front of kids here, Kakashi, grown ups should know better than that!" Kakashi sat up scratching his head and grinning, "Now don't let that head be full of hot air now," sarcastically. Iruka was sitting beside her and so he patted her on the back, "Now, now Hotaru! Don't spoil everybody else's fun!" She sighed and nod in agreement, "You're right, sorry everyone!" Then snapped into happy mood all of a sudden, "why not play a card game," she gasped, "or why not a tournament! Let's play Euchre!"

Everyone nodded in agreement except Naruto, who was in serious confusion, "What's Euchar?" Everyone but Naruto had a sweatdrop running down their heads, Hotaru turned to him with a normal smile with her ees in cotacted to his, "I'll explain it to you Naruto!" While she explain the game play with Naruto, the others got out cards from the pantry.

At the start of Euchre…

"Okay," announced Hotaru standing so letting the others notice her, "so the teams are: Naruto and Sakura, Iruka and Kakashi, and me and Sasuke."

"Who's me?" Kakashi smiled sarcastically saying to her, "I don't see a 'me' in the brackets?"

She had a blood vessel popping out of her skull, knowing he was being sarcastic so she went on, "Moving on…," everyone in the room chuckled a bit from her expression.

Sakura and Naruto vs. Kakashi and Iruka

"I'm going alone!" Declared Naruto.

"You better be right Naruto," growled Sakura, tightening up her grip on the cards.

"Are you sure Naruto," questioned Kakashi, "I mean you have been losing like 3 times on going alone you know."

"Hey! I'm a ninja and soon I'll become-"

Sakura bang him on the head, "Not all ninjas have skills in card games you know!" She retorted.

"Ow,ow,ow…," he grumbled.

Sweat drop from the other team, "let's just get a move on with the game shall we?" Stated Iruka. Others nodded. Hoatru and Sasuke were sitting on the kitchen table, waiting to play the winner of the game.

"So Sasuke," she began, "What did you do this morning?"

He crossed his arms as usual, 'I shouldn't tell about me and Naruto going through her things…'.

"Well?" He popped up from thoughts and made his conclusion, "We had breakfast today…"

"Oh," she started smiling back, "That's good."

Back to the game…

Iruka put the final card down, and their team won, "Heh, guess we won," Kakashi and Iruka each had a smirk on their faces.

"Arg, Naruto-baka!" Retorted Sakura and she banged him on the head again.

"Ow,ow,ow…" he cried.

Everyone in the room laughed.

Kakashi and Iruka VS Hotaru and Sasuke

"Pass!"

"Pass."

"Pass…"

"Pass," each of them said.

The dealer, Hotaru, flipped up the next card. The Jack of Diamonds.

"Too bad you don't have money to gamble here," Kakashi looked at Hotaru, grinning through in leathered mask.

"If I did," she bean, "then I would lose it all," she grinned back.

He gave a chuckle, "Just like your sensei," she nodded. And flipped a from her hand. Kakashi did the same, and around the table did so.

Hotaru nodded to herself, knowing that she did a bad thing right now , ' I'm glad I didn't gamble here," she smiled The score was a tie, 6 to 6, and now Kakashi and Iruka advanced to 8.

"Pass!"

"Pass."

"Pass!"

"I'm going alone," peeped out the stoic raven haired ninja. Hotaru's eyes widen a bit, but then she smirked at him just because she trusted him.

Outside of the game.

"Don't do it Sasuke!" Naruto warned, "It never works!"

"It never works when you do it, every single time!" She bellowed.

Back in the game…

"Go for it Sasuke," she cheered him on while crossing her legs and leveling them up on an empty chair.

The card in the middle of the coffee table was a heart card. All three of them place a card, Sasuke wins, another round, Sasuke wins. And then when were all finished. Sasuke won all of the rounds. 10 to 8.

"We won," gasped Hotaru in a cheery voice, "We won…" suddenly, she dives into Sasuke's lap and gave him a really big bear hug.

Sasuke blushed a bit from this. He didn't push her away like he did with Sakura. He reacted different around her, so he gave a hug in return.

Almost around midnight…

"Okay everyone," declared Hotaru, "I guess you all can go home right now I have to get a good night rest for tomorrow," everyone walked closely to the door except Hotaru and Naruto. They waved their good byes to them, the last one at the door was Sasuke about to wave his goodbye.

"Where do you think you're going, Sasuke," asked Sasuke.

"I'm going home," he responded quickly than usual.

"You can stay here for tonight," she offered getting up a bit from lounging on the couch.

Sasuke froze from hearing this, was this his home now? He grew a smile on his face and gave her a big hug. Now it was Hotaru's turn to blush.

Naruto felt a little left out, "I want to join!" And so he dove in with other too, trying to hug both of them at the same time.

"Ouch, Naruto you're hurting us," cried out a squeaky Sasuke, being squished from Naruto's and Hotaru.

Naruto embraced each of them, Sasuke and Hotaru brushd their clothes a bit from getting wrinkles.

Hoatru patted some more, "okay," she went on, "I bet you're all tired, so you guys know where you sleep in so get your pajamas on, I have to sleep also, " she giggled a bit, "We have a big day tomorrow ahead of us," they nodded and ran to their room, waiting for the excitement ahead of them.
