Greetings and salutations! Thanks to all that reviewed! I really didn't expect to get so many. Anyways, I have a bit of bad news. (This is the part when you're supposed to go "aww".) Thanks to an annoying interruption by the educational system, (and my evil social studies teacher.) I probably won't be able to update until next weekend. But no tears! I may be able to another chapter in before that. I'm seriously going to try to make this chapter longer, and this time THERE WILL BE CHEESE NO EXCEPTIONS.

Kakashi was fast asleep on the couch after a reading spree of Icha Icha Paradise the night before. For some reason, he kept hearing this annoying voice calling his name. "Kakashi. Wake up Kakashi. There's sort of a…um… problem." Kakashi just tried to ignore it. "Wake up Kakashi. WAKE UP KAKASHI! WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP!" His eye slowly opened. "YAY! YOU'RE AWAKE!" Nari was standing beside the couch with an unidentifiable yellow substance in her hair. "Ugh, what do you want?" he mumbled, still only half-conscious. "Well…uh… you see…" she began with a guilty look on her face, "About the kitchen…" "What about the kitchen?" Kakashi asked, his eye narrowing. He got up and with Nari trailing behind him he walked slowly to the kitchen door. "It was an accident I swear! I was just trying to make an omelet and I messed up and please don't tell Iruka or I'll be in so much trouble and I don't want big brother mad at me so please don't be mad at me!" The jounin sighed, preparing himself for whatever monstrosity lay behind that door. Hesitantly he reached for the doorknob. "Holy…WHAT IN THE NAME OF SHINIGAMILENNE DID YOU DO?" (A/N Oh yeah! Who dunnit again? I dunnit again!)
The entire proximity of the kitchen was covered in cheese. You couldn't even see out the window it was so full of cheese. The gooey, gloppy stuff was everywhere you looked. "Where did all this cheese come from?" Kakashi asked suspiciously. "Well I was hungry and you were asleep and I decided to make myself breakfast and I got this huge bag of cheese from Iruka's cabinet and I threw it in a frying pan and turned the stove on high and walked away and then there was this explosion and—" "That's all I need to hear." The silver-haired man said, desperate to make Nari shut up.
"Well," he said after some thought, "I guess this means we're having breakfast out this morning." "Yay!" Nari shouted, "I love eating out! Eating out is fun and I can never decide which restaurant to go to so you should decide!" What's you favorite place to eat? My favorite place is this ramen stand back home but I'm not back home right now so is there a ramen stand here? I love ramen but anything will do! I like waffles and butter and cheese and smoothies and—" "There's ramen stand here, okay? Just please be quiet." "Don't worry new best friend, I'll be so quiet it'll be like I'm not even here, only I will be here and this is sort of like that time my friend Tosame was walking with me in the forest and he told me to be quiet and I told him I'd be so quiet it would be like I was invisible and—"
Kakashi was about to punch her lights out but then for some reason he stopped. "Nari," he said a little too calmly, "We're going to play a little game, okay?" "Oh boy! I love games!" The chattering horror exclaimed. "Do you want to know what it's called?" "Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!" "It's called… SHUT UP AND LEAVE KAKASHI ALONE FOR THE REST OF THE DAY!" "Yay!" Nari whispered, "This game is really fun! Are you having fun? I'm having fun. Isn't having fun so much fun?" Quietly, Kakashi whimpered something about cruel fate or something like that.
"Mmm! This ramen is delicious!" Nari said with her mouth full. She was currently devouring her seventh bowl while Kakashi looked on, very bored. "So what are we gonna do now 'kashi? Are we gonna go have more fun? I love fun!" He sighed and replied, "I have to train my team today, which means you can't come." Nari's eyes began to water as she repeated, "I… can't…come?" He knew what was coming. "Wait, now hold on a minute—" he was interrupted by phenomenally loud sobs coming from the teenager. "WAAAAAAAH! I WANNA GO TOO! I WANNA GO TOO!" "Oh alright." Kakashi mumbled, his hands clasping his ears. Miraculously, the shrieking stopped. People who were staring at the two returned to what they previously were doing. "Yay! We're goin' training! We're goin' training!" The poor tortured jounin then began to twitch uncontrollably at every fifth syllable.
"WHERE THE HECK IS HE?" A blonde boy yelled to no one in particular. "Be quiet Naruto!" Sakura commanded, punching him in the head. "It's not fair!" Naruto mumbled, falling into a pouting position. "Why can't you be more like Sasuke?" the kunoichi demanded. POOF! A very tired Kakashi appeared with another person behind him. "Wow! That was so cool! Do it again! Do it again!" the person said jumping up and down. "Class, meet Nari. Nari, meet class." "Hi Nari!" said Naruto in his usual friendly tone, "My name's Naruto Uzumaki! One day I'm going to be Hokage!" "Hi!" Nari said, "One day I'm going to be an archaeologist and go on expeditions to the moon with my pet gerbil Mr. McSqueeb!" "I'm Sakura," said Sakura. "Hn," said Sasuke. "What's your name?" Nari asked him. "None of your business." "Wow, that's a funny name." Kakashi cleared his throat and announced, "Today we're splitting up. Naruto and Sakura will practice sparring here while Sasuke and Nari go into town and help elderly Mrs. Domochi with her shopping, okay? Any questions?" Sakura raised her hand. "Kakashi-sensei, what will you be doing while we're working?" "Um… uh… important jounin-y stuff," he replied, "Now get to it!" While the children separted, Kakashi climbed up a tree and settled down to read Icha Icha Paradise.
"Thank you kindly dearies," Mrs. Domochi said once she had gotten everything she needed. Sasuke was very annoyed. He did all the work while Nari just kept on babbling to their client. "So Noneofyourbusiness, what are we gonna do now, huh? Huh? What are we gonna do now?" "We're going back to the training grounds, we finished our assignment." Sasuke replied, his temper rising to a dangerous point. " Aw, that's no fun. Why can't we go have fun? I know!" She pulled out her infamous water gun from who knows where. "You're no going to actually spray me with water, are you?" Sasuke said, amused as she tried to point it at him. Nari pulled the trigger and a sticky substance was shot at the Uchiha prodigy. "Of course not silly, I'm spraying you with strawberry jelly!"
Meanwhile…
"I can't help but get the feeling something very bizarre just happened somewhere," Kakashi thought to himself while reading his precious book, "Oh well."
A very angry, very sticky, very strawberry-flavored Sasuke was standing in the middle of the road, Nari dancing gleefully around him and singing, "Ha ha! I got Noneofyourbusiness!" Suddenly there was a huge bang and a puff of smoke. Standing across the road from Sasuke and Nari was none other than Itachi. "Little brother, I have come to finish you off and—" the murderer paused and walked up to Nari. "Hey, you're kind of cute." She just blushed. "Wanna get a smoothie or something?" he asked, flashing a smile that would make some women faint. "Sure." Nari replied locking arms with him, leaving a both sticky and disgusted Sasuke to dry heave.
Though Sasuke was now flavored a sweet strawberry, he was in a very sour mood when he made it back to the training grounds. Naruto and Sakura were resting under the shade of a tree, and it appeared that Kakashi had just arrived as well. "Good job Naruto and Sakura. Both of you are improving," the jounin said, and then realized Nari was nowhere to be seen. "Sasuke, where's Nari?"
"Wow, I never knew such an annoying, freakish little bagpipe/kazoo thing with legs could be so cute," Itachi said. Nari blushed and replied, "I never knew a such a disgusting, valueless, S-ranked criminal could be so charming."
Kakashi was on the edge of hysterics. "What do you mean you don't know where she is?" The raven-haired boy shrugged, his face as usual emotionless. "Oh crud… Iruka's going to kill me…"

There goes another chappie. I think I actually made this one a reasonable size. Oh well. Yes I know I made Itachi TOTALLY out of character, but who really cares? See you next weekend!
