Chapter Twenty-six: Getting Kakashi

Kakashi finished eating a long time ago, but was still sitting at his table and reading a book. He didn't even look up when everyone arrived.

"My, my…you took your time to get here." said Kakashi.

"We brought Naruto with us!" said Kiba.

"And Kankurou." said Sakura.

"Why did you bring Kankurou?" asked Kakashi.

"I can see when I'm not wanted…" said Kankurou, fuming.

"There, there…don't give up and show your youth more often, and you'll be as accepted as me!" said Lee, patting Kankurou on the back.

"Or eat bananas!" said Tenten.

"Shut up, banana freak. Don't pay any attention to her." said Neji.

Suddenly, the air grew cold.

"What is this ominous feeling?" asked Kakashi.

"Uh…Kankurou?" suggested Kiba.

"No…" said Kakashi.

"It's Sasukura, I'm sure of it." said Sasuke.

"How does it always find us?" moaned Naruto.

"It must be full of springtime youth!" said Lee.

"It really wants revenge, Tenana." said Neji.

"Maybe you should've eaten Sasukura slower." said Naruto.

"You brought the ghost banana here?" asked Kakashi angrily. "Why did you do that?"

"It's not us." said Sasuke.

"It's Tenten." said Kiba.

"The banana hates Tenten." said Ino.

"Let's go." said Kakashi.

"Let's get Shikamaru, Temari, and Chouji." said Sakura.

"What are they doing?" asked Kakashi.

"That's easy. They're playing shougi." said Sasuke.

"But where?" asked Tenten.

"Shut up, banana freak." said Neji.

"Ino?" asked Kankurou.

"Hmm…They should be at Asuma's house!" said Ino.

"Great! Let's go!" said Naruto.
