(A/N: WOO-HOO! Happy to be here! It's Lady Hiran! Let's not beat about the bush! Here's the next chap! Enjoy!)
Hotaru hummed to herself, not focusing a bit on the lesson.
She allowed her mind to wander to the night ahead.
Hotaru held back and excited giggle and settled on a mischievous smirk.
She couldn't wait.
Hajime jiggled foot impatiently in his uncomfortable coach seat waiting for that familiar -ding- from the cockpit that would announce their arrival in Connecticut.
It was taking too long!
Kanna held his hand, lightly stoking his thumb with her own, but this nothing to settle his agitated state.
Naruto (now Arisugawa Taka) frowned worriedly, but focused on the in-flight movie that was nearing it's end.
Hinata (now Hikaru Asahi) nervously leaned aginst Naruto, picking up on Hajime's anxiety.
Sakura (now Kishu Himawari) smiled contentedly, arms encircled around her boyfriend's (currently half asleep) imaging the happy reunion that awaited them (such an airhead)
Sasuke (now Fukamachi Shigure) was nodding off, the movements of the airliner making him very drowsy.
Ino (now Takamichi Kiku) leaned comfortably against Shino (now Matsushita Yasuo).
Kiba (now Asakura Hige) snored loudly, Akamaru (no name change) snoring right along with him.
Temari (now Takai Kirika) sat, fingers intertwined, with Shikamaru (now Nosaka Ginta), discussing Stephen King.
Gaara (now Gakushi) tapped his fingers in time to H.I.M.'s 'Wings Of A Butterfly', eyeliner lined eyes closed (yup! He's a goth! Therefore, Hotaru will still call him Panda-chan even though hecansleep now! Ha!)
Kankuro (now Ushio) flipped through the pages of Shounen Jump, snickering every so often.
Neji (now Nanao) read an adavanced Calculus text book with deep interest.
Tenten (now Shaolin) read over his shoulder.
Iruka (now Aogiri Kei) slept with his head drooping forward.
Kakashi (…perhaps…anyways, this guys current name is Hatake Kazune) mildly flipped through the pages of his VERY GRAPHIC porno mag, not taking notice when a five year old boy walked by with his mother, on their way to the bathroom, and got a good loonnnnnng look.
(A/N: The rest are all scattered in various places across the globe)
"Grrrr…" Hajime growled, "Hurry it up goddamnit, or I'll hijack this bucket a bolts!"
"Hajime! SHH!" Kanna whispered worriedly.
Meanwhile…
"WAAAAUGH!" Hotaru shrieked, throwing every article of clothing she owned out of the closet and onto the floor, "WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR?"
She sifted through the clothing, looking for something, ANYTHING, remotely sexy.
There was nothing.
Just comfortable jeans with holes in the knees…
…baggy sweats…
…oversized tees…
…turtlenecked sweaters…
"THIS IS A NIGHTMARRRRRRRRRE!" Hotaru wailed, snatching up her purse, almost stepping on Tanpopo (yep! The little fox is still alive and kickin'!) who dodged her foot with an angered yelp.
"Sorry Popotan!" She cried, dashing out the door, "I'll make it up to you later! This is an emergency!"
-BAMMM-
Hotaru didn't bother with the stairs.
She leapt over the stone wall of her apartment (which happens to be seventeen stories up, by the way) and ran down the side of the building.
"NO MAKE UP! NO JEWELRY! AND ONLY THREE HOURS TO GET AN OUTFIT AND HOPEFULLY GET MY HAIR DONE…WAAAAAAAAAAUGH! THIS IS HOPELESS!" Hotaru sobbed as she sprinted at inhuman speeds downtown.
-("Well, somebody's excited.")- The Kyuubi snickered.
"No! I'm PANICKED!" Hotaru shrieked telepathically, "NOW SHUT UP AND HELP ME!"
-("Of course your majesty!")- The Kyuubi replied sarcastically.
Back With Our Reincarnated Buddies…
Hajime rushed through the terminal, knocking over several nuns trying to get donations for their parish.
Kanna hurriedly apologized for her inconsiderate (worried out of his little, pink mind) boyfriend.
Upon seeing the (what appeared to be) stark-raving-mad, ripped eighteen year old tearing through the airport, foaming at the mouth (ooo…so close!) they automatically cleared a path for him and the large horde of pre-teens that followed him (and the two twenty-somethings!)
"Hajime! Calm down!" Kanna cried as the party filled an entire bus and Hajime snarled at the terrified driver to take them to his sister's apartment, like NOW!
"Ahhh…nothing's changed!" Kazune-Kakashi (…I'm watchin' you) sighed cheerfully.
"That's for damn sure!" Hige-Kiba snickered.
"Oh brother." Kirika-Temari sighed, still holding Ginta–Shikamaru's hand.
Back With Our Unaware Little Friend…
"WAAAAAUGH!" She sobbed in Rochelle's knee's, "I only have an hour now! What am I supposed to DO?"
"Sweat it not." Amelia said with a huge grin, "Girls?"
"MAKEOVER!" The entire sorority of Beta Sigma Phi shrieked, rushing her.
"…please…have mercy…" Hotaru squeaked as two approached with a lethal combo of torture implements; barber scissors and a squirt bottle (1) and an eyelash curler and tweezers (2)
When another came at her with hot wax, she knew she was doomed.
As they closed in on all sides she puffed her chest and roared out with all the vigor she could muster-
"...Mommmmyyy!"
Fourty Five Minutes Later…
"There now!" Ameilia smiled, "That wasn't so bad now, was it?"
"F-fuck you, bitch!" Hotaru hiccupped through the remaining tears.
"Aww…now that's not very nice!" Rochelle snickered, swatting her across the ass.
"AIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEE!" She shrieked (they had insisted on giving her a Brazilian Bikini wax).
"Serves you right for being so ungrateful." One of the sorority girls chided.
"I swear to God, you're sooooooo lucky I have a date in ten minutes, or you would be sooo dead." Hotaru snarled.
As she walked down the steps of the Beta Sigma Phi sorority house, muttering angrily under her breath, the entire house proceeded to yell out after her, "HAAAAVE FUUUH-UNNNN!"
"Tch…lousy, rotten, no good…" Hotaru muttered.
She glanced down, taking in their handywork.
Had to admit, they did a nice job.
A pink and white, sequined daisy halter top; form fitting and revealing her pierced navel.
Light blue Tsubi jeans that were clung to every curve and dipped almost dangerously low.
A glittering gold choker.
A pair of silvery white stiletto sandals.
The Beta Sigma Phi girls had also cut her hair (they would pay dearly for this later) and lightly curled it.
It now bounced jauntily about her breasts.
"Phweeh…" she sighed, "Lets just hope I make it on time."
Hands clamped over her eyes.
"Guess who?" a familiar voice asked.
"Kyosuke-gaki!" Hotaru smiled as the hands were removed and she turned to face her sensei.
(Gaki- Devil, Fiend, Imp; Not Polite at ALL!)
"Now that's not a very nice thing to say!" Kyosuke-Kakashi (…I've got me EYE on you!) grinned.
"But TOTALLY ACURATE!" Another familiar voice snarled ferally.
Hotaru whirled around, curls bouncing.
Her eyes widened in happy surprise…then joy at all the reincarnates…then total...shock.
"Hajime…is that…" She looked back and forth between the Kakashi's, "…but he's…but I thought…"
"Hotaru, think about this logically." Kazune-Kakashi said, closing his porno mag and looking up at her, "If the Kakashi you knew was reborn in Japan…and it took until now for everyone's memories to awaken…how in the seven hells would he know you had decided to go to school here?"
Hotaru's eyes widened in horror…the narrowed into a vicious, bloodthirsty glared, overflowing with malice, all directed at one person…
Kyosuke.
If that really was his name.
Which she highly doubted.
"YYYOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" She roared, latching both hands around his throat before he had a chance to escape, eyes flashing a dangerous orangy red, "HOW DARE YOU TOY WITH MY FEELINGS!"
"W-WAIT! I can explain!" he cried, thrashing widly as she hurled him to the ground.
He bounced several times, hit a tree and didn't move after that.
"SHOVE IT!" Hotaru snarled, turning on her three inch heels and storming off.
Hajime went after his twin with Kakashi (koff, sorry! Kazune!) leaving the rest to ponder about this doppelganger.
"Who do you think he is?" Himawari-Sakura mused, sticking very close to Shigure-Sasuke.
"Dunno." He muttered.
"Probably just an overly informed stalker." Gakushi-Gaara murmured (headphones still on full blast)
"If that's the case, do ya think we shold…heh heh…take care a him?" Ushio-Kankuro snickered.
"No." Nanao-Neji muttered, "Lets wait for him to regain consciousness first."
"Yes." Kei-Iruka said with a nod, "Then we can interrogate him...properly."
(A/N: Ooo! Shinobi interrogation methods! Hot pokers! Kunai's! Oh, I can't wait! ((Koff! Umm...the preview?)) Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nobody reads these things anyways! So, Kazune-Kakashi and Hajime set out to find Hotaru only to discover something totally unexpected. What kind of damagehas this sudden revelation about this imposter wrought? R&R dudes and dudettes.)
(Seriously! No one ever reads these things! In fact, if you're still reading this, you're wasting valuable seconds of your life!)
