Chapter 3

After 2 weeks –

'Oi Keritsu! Be quick! I don't want to be LATE again because of you!' Sito practically yelled while slamming his fists at a door so that the whole of Konoha could hear.

'Coming!' Keritsu shouted angrily opening the door but managed to smile at the bubbly boy.

'Atlast! C'mon, we've got to run now. Don't want to be late,right?' He said with a sigh of relief.

'Yeah'

With that they ran towards the training grounds in the forest. Kakashi had been sitting at his window watching the view of Konoha the whole time and he didn't know why.

'Maybe I miss Konoha too much?' he said shrugging his shoulders.

As he saw Keritsu run off,he wanted to reach out and touch the short, punkish and blackish-brownish hair that was free to flow in the wind. Kakashi didn't know why he wanted to that. Now-a-days he didn't really know what he was doing anymore. He just shook his head vigorously and sighed.

He had given the excuse for watching the view of Konoha from his window saying that he missed the hidden village but what excuse would he give himself for wanting to see Keritsu every single time?

'Maybe I miss her too?' he said scratching the back of his head.

-------------------------------------------------------

'I'm off on an S-Class mission, so there won't be any training today,' Ibiki said giving a slight grin.

'WHAT? No training? We need training!' Sito yelled in disapproval.

'You guys ARE CHUNNINS! You don't need me to train you for the Jounin exam!' Ibiki yelled back.

'But, we can't train ourselves! We need to learn new Jutsus! How are we to learn it if there is no one there to teach us?' Keritsu asked Ibiki

'That is why training will start tomorrow at 7 am-'

'But you just said-' Sito interrupted

'Sito you will be under Kurenai, Yamato, you will be under Maito Gai, As for you Keritsu, Hatake Kakashi, Clear?' He interrupted Sito back.

'Ibiki-sensei? Why can't we all train together under one teacher?' Keritsu asked

'Well, these teachers have their own students too, and teaching six at one go is tiring, not forgetting that teaching you all are like teaching a hundred SITOs!'

'Eh?' Sito screeched looking at his sensei demanding an answer.

'Nothing, Sito, I was just kidding!' Ibiki said sweatdropping and nervously laughing.

'So, are you all clear about your groupings?'

'Hai! Ibiki-sensei'

-------------------------------------------------------

'Sasuke-kun, Temari and Kankurou are coming to Konoha tomorrow!' Sasuke said as she dashed into his house.

'Why?'

'They're involved with the next Chunnin exam!'

'What about Gaara?'

'He's the Kazekage, remember?'

'All I remember is loving you, Sakura, my cherry blossom'

Sakura blushed as Saskuke hugged her by her waist kissing her neck. This has got to be one of mega rarest time that Sasuke spoke to Sakura in a romantic manner!

And well you know what goes on after that, eh? (Sly grin) Fluff starts to erupt!

-------------------------------------------------------

'Hinata? Where are you?' Naruto asked the 4-walls of the Hyuuga mansion.

'Na-na-ruto-kun? Wh-what are you-you doin he-here?' Hinata asked stuttering as she turned red.

'Hinata! Kurenai asked me to tell you that your first task's deadline is tomorrow!'

'Na-na-ruto-kun, did ku-kurenai sensei te-tell you wh-what my task is ab-about?

'No, Hinata. Unless you want to tell me, yourself?' Naruto said moving closer to the Hyugga heir with a cheeky grin

'Na-na-ruto-kun? Wh-what are you doing?

'Nothing,' He said slyly, still with the foxy-grin and closing in the gap between them.

They were only a few centimeters left between them. Hinata blushed even deeper as the blood rushed up to her cheeks. Her heart was thumping faster than usual, she couldn't take it anymore.

Naruto could see that Himata was getting much redder by the second.

'Are you sick, Hinata-chan, Do you have a fever?' He asked with concern in his voice.

'He called me Hinata-chan?' Hinata thought before passing out.

'So much for confession,' Naruto sighed and helped Hinata onto her bed.

'Neji! Hinata passed out!' He shouted as he saw Neji passing by her room.

'Did you do anything funny to her?'

'Why should I?'

'Have you delivered the message? If you have then go and if you haven't, you still go.'

-------------------------------------------------------

'Kakashi? What are you doing here at,' she glanced at her clock '10 in the night?'

'You're my new student right, eventhough it's not official? Timing's changed to 5 am.'

'WHAT? ARE YOU INSANE?'

'What's better than a few morning runs?'

'Ok, I'll be there.' She said waving the white flag.

'Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura won't come tomorrow cause I need to inspect you strengths first so I'll know what to train you on,' he said matter-of-factly.

'Sure, Kakashi' she sighed looking down.

Kakashi held her chin up and looked into her eyes and said in a dreamy voice 'Nice mahogany eyes.'

Keritsu was surprised with the gesture and the next thing she knew, Kakashi was gone in a puff of smoke.
