Kakashi Decides Not to Wear Pants One Day (Pants Saga Part I)

Okay, this is what you could call a filler. It has almost nothing to do with Kankuro, except near the end…and to explain why some events happened, when they happen. So, please enjoy this piece of humor, which has to do with Kakashi…and what he does when he is bored. This was inspired by a picture…which can be found here http (colen) (slash) (slash) i8 (dot) photobucket (dot) com (slash) albums (slash) a39 (slash) Sukuru (underscore) Hikari (slash) ifdibs (dot) jpg … Hope that works…

Disclaimer: Okay, I know this might shock and surprise you, but I don't own Naruto. No! Don't faint!

With a yawn, Kakashi rested on his elbows, pondering whether or not to get out of bed. He should… He was a jounin, after all… but he had told his Team to sleep in and take the day off. From beneath the hand that covered his lower face, he smiled. He had come to a decision!

Leaping out of bed, he pulled his clothes on; to a limited extent, anyways.

Not 5 minutes later, Iruka ran into Naruto's apartment. "Naruto," he began, panting, "you have to go and catch Kakashi-sensei! It's very important!" He was off again before the kid could even fully wake up.

"Whaaaat?" He asked, rubbing his eyes, questioning the empty doorway. "Man… What's sensei planning for us this time?"

Next stop for Iruka was Sakura's house. "Sakura!" He shouted, knocking on her door. "Hurry! It's urgent!"

The girl blinked, grumbling as she stumbled out of bed, "Alright, alright, I'm coming, already! Calm down!"

"Sakura, you have to go and catch Kakashi… Quickly!"

"What?"

"No time, no time! Just go and find him!" Iruka was out of breath completely now, but sprinted to Sasuke's, bracing himself against the door.

"Sasuke, hurry up! Get out here!"

Sasuke opened the door, looking up at him. "What is it, Iruka-sensei?"

"You have to go and catch Kakashi. Naruto and Sakura are already looking," Iruka managed to gasp, before he passed out.

Blinking at him, Sasuke sighed, moving him into his house before running out to help his teammates. "I swear, if this is another 'teamwork' exercise that he came up with on out day off…--" He never managed to finish his thought, as he saw Naruto and Sakura standing on the bridge.

"Where's Kakashi-sensei? We always meet here!" Naruto complained, fidgeting.

"Shut up, Naruto!" Sakura hissed, glaring full-fledged swords at him.

"This isn't an ordinary mission, I'm guessing," Sasuke observed his hand in his pockets.

"Iruka said this was urgent," Sakura pointed out, with a sigh.

But, right as she finished talking, the trio heard shouts and yells.

"Think that's it?" Naruto asked excitedly, looking to Sakura and Sasuke.

Sasuke nodded, running towards the noise, followed closely by Sakura who was followed not-so-closely by Naruto.

"Hurry up, dunce!" Sasuke commanded, skidding to a halt, eyes wide.

"W-Wh-what the heck!" Sakura asked eyes just as huge.

"Huh?" Naruto questioned, looking at her. She just pointed at where a large crowd was gathering. "What is it?" He asked impatiently. Then he noticed. "What the hell!" He shouted, staring.

Sasuke sighed, looking at the ground, growling, "Oh, this is great. Just great."

"Make it go away!" Sakura pleaded, turning away and covering up her eyes. "Make it go away!"

The fox-boy only continued staring. "D'ya think this is was Iruka-sensei meant?"

Sasuke only nodded, while Sakura whimpered quietly.

"We're supposed to… catch him?"

Another nod from Sasuke and whimper from Sakura.

"Are we sure we want to do that?"

A shake of the head from Sasuke and another whimper from Sakura.

Iruka padded up beside them. "You need to catch him."

"Why can't you?" Naruto asked, hands on his hips. "I mean, you're a higher rank than we are! You catch him!"

Sasuke began to hit his hand against his forehead at that point. "Dunce."

"What'd you say!"

"Naruto! Sasuke! Stop it!" Sakura commanded, glaring at them both.

Iruka sighed. "I can't catch him."

"Why, Iruka-sensei?" Sakura asked, taking the responsibility into her hands. "He's just not wearing any pa--"

She never managed to get any further than that, because blood began to spurt from the man's nose

"What the hell!" Naruto demanded, having to jump back to avoid the blood.

Sasuke blinked at Iruka, while Sakura only stared.

"Why's your nose bleeding?" She asked suspiciously, narrowing her eyes at him.

"Err… I have a cold. That's why I can't catch him."

"Right," Sakura agreed sarcastically, rolling her eyes. "Fine then."

With a sheepish smile, the man turned, walking away, trying to wipe the blood away with his sleeve.

"What's with him?" Naruto demanded, looking to the girl.

"Nothing," she shrugged, "Aren't we supposed to be catching him?"

The two boys nodded.

"How should we do that?" Naruto, again. "Should we just chase after him or something?"

"He's an elite ninja, Naruto. How would we manage to catch him?" Sasuke rolled his eyes as he spoke. Sometimes Naruto was even stupider than normal.

"But we don't have any other way to catch him, Sasuke," the girl agreed. "We don't have enough time for a plan, or anything!"

The Uchiha sighed. It was true. "Alright, then. We'll chase him."

Squaring his shoulders, Naruto looked from Sasuke to Sakura. "On three.

"One… two… three!"

The team began to run towards Kakashi, who was only standing there, with no pants on.

'At least he has boxers,' Naruto sighed mentally. 'This could be a lot worse.'

Kakashi looked at his team, grinning under his ask before running.

He ran past the school, followed moments later by the kids.

The jounin glanced behind him. The three were still following him.

Kiba, Shino, and Hinata, who were all standing near the school, stared at Kakashi as he ran by, and then at Team 7.

"Uh… Do you guys need help?" Kiba asked, watching them run past.

"Y-yes!" Naruto gasped, nodding. "All three of you, please!"

Kiba nodded, joining in the chase. Hinata blushed as he requested all three of them, and ran after the four. Shino looked up from the ground, shrugged, and ran with them.

Then past the square.

The Hokage, who was standing there, stared at them, before shrugging. "Must be some kind of new training that he came up with. But why is Team 8 with Team 7? New kind of training, I suppose."

Kankuro, who was standing with Gaara while waiting for Temari, stared at the group ran past. First went Hatake Kakashi, wearing no pants, followed almost immediately by Sasuke and Kiba, then Sakura and Shino, and then Hinata. Moments after the crowd had passed, Naruto struggled behind them, panting and gasping for air.

Gaara glared at them, arms crossed.

But Kankuro grinned, before catching Gaara's eyes. "I-I'll... Go help them catch him."

His brother shrugged, not caring what Kankuro did.

Kankuro sprinted after them, making sure his kitty hood stayed on. He laughed quietly to himself. 'No pants. Nice.'

Naruto glared at him as he jogged past the shorter boy, easily catching up to Kiba and Sasuke.

Sasuke only glanced at him, shrugging. Any help right now was good help.

Temari, stepping out of the building she had been in, froze. Was that her brother—chasing a man with no pants on? Her eyes widened as she sighed. 'I knew it… Why's he chasing after that guy? With no pants… on… God.' She rolled her eyes. 'It's just like him.'

Then the pant-less man stopped. "Well, I'm done for the day. I think I'll go and have something to eat." Then, he vanished, leaving the 7 people who were chasing him there, staring at an empty street.

"Like hell! We have to chase him and then he off and vanishes!" Naruto shouted, frustrated.

Kiba led Shino and Hinata to wherever it was they were supposed to be meeting their own sensei, while Sasuke walked off, followed by Sakura.

"That's not fair!" Naruto, again, before he followed his teammates.

Meanwhile, over at the Ramen place, Kakashi appeared, causing a very surprised and embarrassed Iruka to fall off of his stool with another nosebleed.

Kankuro grinned, alone in the street. It seemed like no pants was a very, very fun idea.

Okay, so I hope you liked it! Be ready for the next chapter! What is Kankuro thinking? XD

Oh! Another reason for this chapter was to introduce some other characters for our interview. So if you have any questions for Kakashi, anyone on team 7 or 8, or the Hokage, just ask! And review!

Thanks Haruko!
