Chapter Two: The First Four

Iruka blushed as he looked at the picture then set it down. He turned to see out the window when a patch of gray hair caught his eyes. He stopped and stared, until he saw the person the hair belonged to was Kakashi.

Kakashi...why would he be here?

He rushed out of his bed and threw on a top to cover his naked upper half. He ran out to the door and flung it open in time to face a very bewildered Kakashi. The ninja blinked a few times and then grinned with his visible eye.

"Good morning, Iruka-sensei," he greeted. Sensei, so he really did stop calling him just plain Iruka. Iruka just grinned and beared it, though the pain hit him right in the middle of his chest. He leaned against the door and asked. "So, what brings you here?"

Kakashi nodded and then fumbled with a strange cardboard box he was holding. "Well," he began. "You see..." He shifted his eyes, looking both ways and then sighed out loud. He pryed the closed top off with a finger and flipped it open to reveal three pairs of bright, round eyes staring up at them fearfully.

"Chibis?" Iruka asked, blinking.

The one closest to him whined and then reached forward, his blue eyes starting to water. "Iruka-sensei...help me..." it squeaked.

"Wha-what!" Iruka practically flipped, his eyes bugging out of his skull. "It's Naruto!"

"Shh," Kakashi hushed. "Don't say anything too loud, don't you know what dangers chibis can be in?"

Iruka glanced over Kakashi's shoulder to see a loud and angry mob coming across the corner to his street. Their eyes were glowing red and they all carried little, portable shrines to chibi-love. He quickly reached and pulled them all in, locking the door behind them before anyone else could get in.

Kakashi sighed out loud. "Thanks," he stated. He turned around to see a very angry Iruka glowering at him wiht a fist clenched and raised.

"What did you do to them!"

"I didn't do anything..." Kakashi whined, his eye flattening into a straight line on his face. "I just found them this way, the Hokage-sama told me to bring them to you as you would probably be the best person to take them to."

An eyebrow cocked on Iruka's features. "How so?"

"Well, you're more responsible, and you care enough not to maul a chibified version of one of your students...at least, I hope so."

Iruka growled. "Let me see them."

Kakashi opened the box once more and Iruka watched as three stubby-legged and armed chibi versions of Team Seven propped themselves over the edges before pulling themselves out of their confines. They sighed and plopped down onto the table, naked and cute. Naruto whined and ran over to Iruka, hugging his waist best he could with such little arms. "Help me, Iruka-sensei! Please! I swear, I had NOTHING to do with this..."

Iruka growled, glaring at Kakashi. "Where did their clothes go?" A vein began to pop on his forehead.

"They fell off," Kakashi replied simply. He shrugged his shoulders and then wriggled a finger into one of Sasuke's cheeks. Face cheek, mind you. Sasuke growled and attempted to bite him but failed. Kakashi giggled and patted a very angry Sasuke chibi on his little head.

"What do you mean, fell off?" Iruka growled, pulling Sasuke away from Kakashi. Sasuke sighed a loud gratefully, then went back to his death stare-like trance he always seemed to wear on his face. Except now, it was a lot cuter. A LOT.

"Like I said," Kakashi answered. "They fell off."

"It's more like you took them off!"

Kakashi let out another rediculously loud exhale and then said. "If you must know...this is how it happened."

Flashback again, like ten minutes ago.

"Now my eternal rival! We shall...work together, I guess."

Kakashi hissed angrily and put a finger to his mouth. "Be quiet, Gai."

The bushy eyebrowed sensei nodded and snickered. "So," he stated. "These are those secret...things..."

"That's right," Kakashi answered, pulling out a small bottle with a fiendish glint in his eye. The bottle was filled to the brim with a soft pink liquid that bubbled every time a little shake was given. "Chibi water, anyone who drinks this will become an instant adorable, round chibi version of themselves! Just like the fangirls and boys always wanted to see, but better!" He laughed out loud maliciously, before having his face covered by Gai's hand.

"Shut your mouth, hypocrite," Gai growled. "Now come on, let's see if this thing actually works."

They both poked their heads up from their hiding spots to see Team Seven waiting for Kakashi, yet again. Naruto grumbled as always, Sasuke sat and brooded, and Sakura was having a pleasent conversation with her inner self. They both snickered and snuck down lower to their knees, crawling slowly towards them.

"I swear, he does this just to piss me off!" Sakura growled angrily, turning around to face Naruto with a very evil expression on her face. Naruto flinched and then slowly began to edge away from her.

"Sorry I'm late," Kakashi sighed, coming out from his hiding spot. He smiled and rubbed the back of his head softly, laughing as he did so. "I found my lost shoes and then lost them again, and again. So sorry."

"LIES!" Naruto and Sakura accused, pointing at their very lazy sensei.

Kakashi only laughed again and then turned so he was facing them all. With a voice an octave higher he asked. "My, my isn't it a hot one today?"

"Actually yeah," Naruto answered.

Kakashi glared at the bushes and then repeated what he asked before, only higher voiced then he did then. "My, my, isn't it a HOT one today?"

Sakura blinked. "Yeah, we already answered that one Kakashi-sensei..."

Kakashi still didn't seemed satisfied, "My, my..." he growled in a low tone before screaming out loud. "ISN'T IT A HOT ONE TODAY!"

"Whoops, sorry!" Gai jumped up from the bushes, smiling. "It seems I fell asleep, Kakashi. I apologize."

Kakashi growled, holding back the urge to hit Gai against the head. He glanced to see he held onto the three bottles he had given him and then grinned. "Oh," he began, his eyes glittering with excitement. "Gai, you are SO kind to bring these children drinks before we begin their training."

Gai only laughed out victouriously, he gave them the peace sign and then winked. "Why yes! I ALWAYS look out for the youth of our generation! Oh beautiful youth..." he began to sing before Kakashi threw him into the brush, catching the bottles before they fell and broke.

"Well, drink up." He sing-songed, smiling. "You wouldn't want to hurt Master Gai's feelings now would you? After he went through all the trouble..."

Naruto grinned and took the bottle from Kakashi's grasp. "Wouldn't dream of it," He announced proudly before gulping down the contents. Sakura also took a bottle and smiled but stopped before she brought it to her lips.

"Um, what about you Kakashi-sensei?" She asked. "Don't you want some?"

"I'm not...thirsty..." Kakashi answered. "Go on, now."

She shrugged and then drank it all down, smiling happily when she finished. She smacked her lips and announced. "Yum!"

Sasuke growled as a bottle was handed to him. "No," he stated flately.

Kakashi grumbled and then prodded. "Please?"

"No."

"Sasuke..." Kakashi's eyes glinted angrily. "Sensei's ORDERS..."

Sasuke growled and grabbed the flask from Kakashi's hold. He brought it to his lips and then gulped it down. "Satisfied?" He asked.

"Very," Kakashi answered, his eye arching.

Suddenly Naruto began to glow behind them. They all turned around as he cried out, his voice turning slightly higher as he shrank, and shrank. Sakura screamed out loud as Naruto vanished, his clothes left behind. "Is he becoming a nudist!"

"I think that's the least of our worries," Kakashi told her. From underneath his orange suit Naruto's smaller head appeared. First he opened one big blue eye, and then the other.

"Huh?" He squeaked.

Sakura stared, her face becoming pink. "Oh my gosh," she gasped. "He is so..." She stopped as she too began to glow and then shrink. She squealed and squirmed underneath her now heavy layers of clothing. "Help me!"

Kakashi chuckled. "Aw..." he stated. Gai emerged from the brushes and then gave him the thumbs up sign.

"A successful mission!" They both boasted proudly.

Sasuke growled. "Bastards..." he began. "What did you do to me..."

Kakashi smiled towards him. "Oh don't you worry, Sasuke-kun," he stated. Slowly the boy began to glow and then shrink. "The bottle says it lasts only a limited time."

"Bastard," Sasuke-chibi jumped up and down angrily.

"So you see," Kakashi finished. "As chibis their regular clothes don't fit."

"You...did this to them!" Iruka screamed. "How could you!"

Kakashi sighed aloud. "Natural curiousity to the unknown," he answered.

"Then why did you come here?" Iruka hollered. "You're the one to blame for crying out loud!"

"Well you see..." Kakashi began. Suddenly his body began to glow and Iruka watched as he shrank before him, leaving a naked Kakashi chibi where the bigger one once was. He shook his chubby arms in the air. "I drank it too, or more like, I was FORCED to."

"You deserved it!" Naruto chirped, pointing at Kakashi angrily. "This was YOUR fault to begin with!"

Iruka stared as four chibis now argued on his table top, all of them naked and grappling with the other. He turned to face his door way just as the large mob of chibi-lovers began to break it down...

Well, since I had nothing else to do, and because I really didn't get that many reviews but quite a few hits, I decided to update already. Yeah, Kakashi was OOC, and Gai probably was too since I have never seen him in the anime or the manga yet.

I still don't own Naruto.

If you have questions as to why Kakashi didn't turn to a chibi as fast as the others did, it's because he was force-fed the stuff, and only a little. So it took longer to take effect.

If you don't know what chibi's are, why are you reading this! Basically, they're smaller versions of the original character. They are cute and adorable, and the ones in this fic are probably not much taller than your hand.

This is to all you chibi lovers out there, including myself. If there's a certain character you want as a chibi tell me, but please remember I'm still a newbie to the world of Naruto so I've only seen up to the Cartoon Network episodes that have premiered. Yes, Gaara and his siblings count too, since I've seen them now. Maybe I'll do them. Maybe.

R&R plz, no flames. I won't update unless I get at least three reviews for this chapter, not including any from my big sis, which she'll probably do right after I post. Ha ha. So if you want more chibi-ness, review dammit!
