Hey guys! I'm back. Anyway, here's another chapter, hope you guys like! Thanks for all your support and I'd like it if you mentioned this story to all your friends, seeing as it's my first fic and all… I don't own Naruto or any of its characters, but I DO own Kazara Yume. So THERE! =P
OFFICIAL PAIRINGS FOR THE STORY:
NaruHina
SasuSaku
ShikaIno (minor characters)
Haku
"WHERE THE HELL IS HE!!!??" Naruto shouted. "We've been waiting for three hours already!" He was pacing the length of the classroom.
"Zzzzzzz…" Haku was asleep on one of the desks with a small pool of drool from the corner of his mouth.
"I-I-I'm sure he ha-has a good reason for being l-late. N-Naruto-kun…" Hinata whispered.
"Yo." Kakashi said from the window.
"YOU'RE LATE!! WHAT THE HELL KIND OF TEACHER ARE YOU!!??" Naruto yelled. Haku woke with a start, and noticed their teacher. His Hitai-ate was pushed down so it covered his left eye, and he had a black face mask that covered the lower part of his face. Other than that, and the bored expression on his face, he looked like your average Jounin.
"Ah, well, you see, today I got lost on the road of life…"
"LIAR!!" Kakashi smiled under his mask. 'Your son turned out just like you, Yume-sensei…'
"Anyway, why don't you guys meet me on the roof and we'll get to know each other better." He waved and disappeared in a puff of smoke. The three Genin looked at each other and each thought the same thing…
'What have I gotten myself into?'
"Alright. Why don't you just tell us your name, likes, dislikes, hobbies, dreams for the future… stuff like that?"
"Hey, Kakashi-sensei?" Haku asked. "Why don't you go first?"
"Alright. My name is Hatake Kakashi. I like… My dislikes are… I have plenty of hobbies, and I don't really dream. Alright, you in the orange." The kids looked at one another with confused expressions on their face.
"Yosh! My name's Uzumaki Naruto! I like, no I LOVE cup ramen! I like the ramen Iruka-sensei at Ichiraku that Iruka-sensei buys me even better. Haku's homemade dinners are really good too." Said boy smiled proudly. "I hate the three minute wait after you pour in the hot water before you can eat the ramen."
'Food on the brain…' Kakashi thought as a sweatdrop formed on the back of his head.
"My hobbies are hanging out with Haku and training. My dream is to become the next Hokage so that everyone will have to acknowledge my existence at last!" He said this last part while fiddling with his headband. Kakashi smiled under his mask and nodded at Hinata, who promptly flushed.
"M-My name i-is Hyuuga Hinata." She began at little more than a whisper. "I like… ano…" She blushed redder than a tomato and looked away from Naruto. "I dislike those who hurt my friends. My ho-hobbies are reading, t-t-training, and helping at the hospital. My d-d-dreams for the future… are to become worthy of being in the Main Family, and to b-become a Medical ninja, and m-m-maybe…" she looked at Naruto again and flushed even redder, if possible. Kakashi chuckled under his breath and nodded to Haku.
"My name is Hana Haku. I like being useful to Naruto-san and making him happy. I dislike it when Naruto-san is upset, And when people mistake me for a girl." Naruto laughed, and Kakashi felt another sweatdrop form on the back of his head. "My hobbies are training with Naruto-san and learning more Ijutsu. My dreams for the future are to become a medical ninja and to remain by Naruto-san's side as long as he wants me to." Kakashi contemplated this.
'Such deep loyalty… the girl's the Hyuuga heir, but her face is a tomato whenever she looks at Naruto… and, the number one loudmouth ninja in Konoha, who wants to become Hokage…' "Alright. Tomorrow morning, meet me at six on training field seven. Oh, and don't eat breakfast." Kakashi smiled. "I don't want you to throw up!" That said, he vanished.
"Ne, ne! Let's go look for my dad!" Naruto said. Haku and Hinata nodded. They dashed off across the rooftops, and were soon joined by Sasuke and Sakura.
"Ohayo, minna!" Sakura called. "Where have you been and where are you going?"
"We've been waiting for our teacher, and now we're going to see Naruto-san's father." Haku replied. "Would you like to come, Uchiha-san, Sakura-san?"
"Sure! We've already met with our sensei, right, Sasuke-kun?"
"Hn." The children arrived at the hospital, and an ANBU escorted them back to Yume's room.
"Oh, hey kids!" Yume said, smiling when he saw them. He was sitting on his bed reading a very large scroll. He rolled the scroll up. "Alright… I want to talk to each of you separately. Naruto, you first." All of the kids nodded and left the room. 'Naruto…' Yume thought as he saw his son standing there, unsure of what to do. "Come here, Naruto." Naruto walked hesitantly over to him. Without warning, Naruto found himself swept up onto Yume's lap. "I can't imagine anyone has done this to you before…" Tears filled Naruto's eyes as he thought of how much he envied the other children whose parents did this for them. And now… he actually has a father… someone who cares… unable to hold it in anymore, Naruto throws his arms around his father's neck and sobs into his shoulder. "Ssh… that's right… let it all out…" Yume murmured comforts to his son, rubbing his back. He listened as Naruto described his life alone, how he found Haku, when he first started hearing the voice, Naruto told him everything. 'If I could only use Rasengan on them all like I want to…' he thought. Naruto finally stopped crying and pulled back.
"Gomen, Otousan. Now you probably think I'm a weakling…"
"Iie, Naruto-chan. You're not a weakling. I'm proud of you for being so brave. I need you to still be brave for a while. HIASHI!" Hiashi walked into the room.
"You're actually going to have me use it? Is he really up to this?"
"Up to what?" Naruto asked? Yume looked down at him.
"Naruto, it's time we had a talk with your demon."
