Ohayo, everyone! I'm finally back again. I know that the chapters have been on the short side, but they'll probably stay that way. Sorry, but I'm not good at concentrating on one thing for a long amount of time. Ask any of my friends . Anyway, I STILL don't own Naruto, but I do own Kazara Yume.
"HE'S AWAAAKE!!! OTOUSAN'S AWAKE EVERYONE!!!" Naruto yelled at the top of his lungs.
"WHY are you always so lou-WHATDIDYOUJUSTSAY!!??" Sakura asked. Naruto was practically bouncing off of the walls.
"IstartedtalkingtohimandthenIstartedcrying, causeIwassad, andthenhe-OW!" Naruto held his head where a fresh bump was forming.
"Speak less than twenty miles an hour, dobe." Sasuke grumbled. Hiashi ran in the room and couldn't believe his eyes.
"Yume!?" He turned his head and smiled.
"Oh, hey there, Hiashi. How long have I been out, twelve years?" Yume asked with a smile on his face.
"Yeah. It's been twelve years. You sure kept me waiting, dobe." Hiashi smirked even though tears were leaking out of his eyes. He spun around and yelled fit to rival Naruto. "DOCTOR!! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!!??"
"Coming, coming. What's the rush, anywa- GOOD HEAVENS!!!"
Yume smiled. "Good to see you too, doc. Say, any way I could get some Ramen from the Ichiraku? Only around thirty or so bowls?" Yume asked, giving the same fox like grin that Naruto had.
Hiashi nodded. "You." He motioned to one of the ANBU. "Go get that order and charge it to my account."
"Hai, Hyuuga-sama." With that, the ANBU was gone.
"He's alive? I can't believe this!" Sakura was trying to get a good look past the ANBU at Yume, to see if Naruto was just babbling again. Beside her, a cold bead of sweat ran down Sasuke's face.
'It's him… I can sense that monstrous chakra…'
{So get in there and kill him already!}
'Che. Yeah right. Now shut up, you stupid dragon.'
Haku's jaw was almost on the floor. "How… I read about Shisou Fuuin… it draws out the soul of the caster…"
'I'm so happy for you, Naruto-kun.' Hinata thought.
"HEEEY!!! HINA-CHAN!!!" Said tomato-faced girl almost fainted. Naruto grabbed her and spun her around. "Tousan's alive!! He's really alive!! I have a family!!"
'He's spinning me around in his arms!!! And he called me "Hina-chan"!!' Hinata thought. 'This has got to be a dream. There's no other explanation… unless… he really is spinning me around and calling me "Hina-chan"…' And that's all it took for the Hyuuga heiress to lose all strength in her lower body.
"Oi, Hinata-chan? You alright?" Naruto asked, supporting her weight easily. 'She's so light…'
"Ha… hai, Naruto-k-kun. I-I'm fine." This earned a snicker from Haku.
"Awwww… look at the lovebirds…" Sakura cooed. Hinata looked like all the blood in her body had gone to her face and Naruto's face was a lovely shade of vermillion. "Um, Hyuuga-sama…"
"I told you kids to call me Hiashi, remember?"
"Hai. Ano, Hiashi… could we see him, maybe?" Sakura asked. He smiled.
"I'm sure he'll see you. Where the HELL is that ANBU, anyway??" Said ANBU struggled back into the room, laden with Styrofoam bowls. Naruto's nose perked up instantly.
"RAMEN!!!" Haku sweatdropped as he held Naruto back.
"Naruto-san, it's for your father. He hasn't eaten in twelve years…" Hiashi walked over to the children.
"I'm sorry, little ones, but you can't stay here tonight. You can come back and see him tomorrow after you meet your teachers. The doctors have to do all of their examinations, now that he's eaten…" his voice trailed off as he saw all of the ramen containers empty already. 'Hasn't changed a bit.'
"Why!? Why can't I stay with him!?" Naruto shouted.
"Calm down over there, Naruto." Yume called from his bed. "Go on back to your apartment for now and pack up. Once I'm out of here, we're moving' back into my old house! Good luck with your sensei tomorrow."
"HONTO!!?? Arigato, Otousan! C'mon, Haku! Let's get packing!"
"Bye everyone!" Haku called as he was pulled around the corner.
"Hn." Was all Sasuke said as he walked out of the hospital, with Sakura behind him.
"Let's go home for now, Hinata." Hinata nodded. "You like Naruto, don't you?" Hinata flushed as she squeaked out an agreement. 'I might have guessed as much.' A smile reached Hiashi's lips as he exited the hospital.
Morning creeped uninvited into Naruto's eyes. Yawning, he sat up and wondered why everything was packed up in boxes. 'Oh, that's right! Otousan's taking us to his house later!' Now fully awake and energized, Naruto ran into the living room area. "Ohayo, Haku!"
"Ohayo, Naruto-san. Ready to go?"
"Of course! Let's get this meeting over with so we can go to our new home!" Both of the young ninjas sprinted out into the streets and were actually early for once.
"Naruto!? Are you feeling okay?" Iruka put his hand on Naruto's head in mock concern. "You're early. I think you need to go to the nurse!"
"That's not funny, Iruka-sensei!" Naruto pouted. Iruka chuckled. Once the bell rang and everyone was in their seats, Iruka cleared his throat.
"Attention, class! Today you'll be divided up into three man cells, and meet with your Jounin senseis. Here are the teams." Iruka read the first six teams, then came to team seven. "Team Seven: Uzumaki Naruto, Hyuuga Hinata, Hana Haku. Sensei: Hatake Kakashi." Naruto let out a whoop and hugged Hinata, who in turn turned beet red. "Team Eight: Akimichi Chouji, Nara Shikamaru, Inuzuka Kiba. Sensei: Sarutobi Asuma. Team Nine is the only four person cell we have: Aburame Shino, Yamanaka Ino, Haruno Sakura… and Uchiha Sasuke. Sensei: Yuuhi Kurenai."
'Oh god no.' was the only thought running through Sasuke's head. Both of the girls squealed, then shot lightning bolts between their eyes.
'Itai.' Was all Naruto thought when he looked at Sasuke with sympathy. All of the teams left with their senseis… all of the teams MINUS Team Seven.
"Well?" Sandaime asked the doctor. "What's wrong with him?"
"Well, sir, it seems that the reason he's alive is because the Death God took the demon's soul, not his. However… the demon appears to have gotten the last laugh."
"Why?" Yume asked calmly from the bed.
"Well, Yondaime-sama… all of your tenketsus are closed. And as far as we can tell, there's no way to open them again."
