6. Kakashi Asks Why!
A/N: Thank you for reviewing, all of you that review...I love getting them, wether they're praise or flame reviews. Sometimes, I just laugh when I get flames, because I know there's something to work on and to challenge myself. Not that I'm saying that you don't HAVE to give me flames, just only when I need it. Ok, enough chit-chat, let's get to the story.
"Well...are you ready for your test?" Kurenai asked her team of Genin.
"YEAH! Bring it on!" Kiba said anxiously. Akamaru barked with glee.
"Ok then Kiba...what are the color of the girl's eyes last night? And you can't use Akamaru for assistance," Kurenai tested.
Kiba had a blank expression on his face. He then started to bonk himself on the head. Akamaru whined. "GOD DAMMIT! I TOTALLY FORGOT TO LOOK AT THAT!"
"Ok, it seems that you aren't ready...Shino? Hinata? Do you know?" Kurenai asked the other two.
"The girl's eyes were a glowing sapphire blue. It's nearly impossible to miss," Shino replied mysteriously.
"Correct! At least someone noticed things from our espionage session last night," Kurenai said sarcastically.
"Yeah, it was just luck! Whatever!" Kiba replied. Akamaru barked.
"Were you even paying attention to the two last night, Kiba! Shino is right! How could you not miss the color of her eyes, hm?" Kurenai interrogated.
"Uh...I wasn't paying attention?" Kiba nervously said.
"Uh-huh...you only wanted to watch them kissing, eh?"
Kiba grumbled and looked away from Kurenai.
"Exactly. Now, Hinata...can you tell me approximately what time they first kissed?" Kurenai then asked.
Hinata then trembled in anxiety. "U-u-um..." She couldn't finish. Hinata just broke down crying.
"Hinata? What's wrong?" Kurenai worriedly asked.
Hinata wiped away her tears. "I-its nothing..."
"No it's not...tell us the truth."
"I-I-I...I LOVE NARUTO!" Hinata screamed as loud as she could.
Meanwhile...
Team 7 heard a strange and loud voice from afar. They were eating at the local Cotton Village outdoor breakfast bar, Chitose's.
"Hey Kakashi-sensei...did you hear that?" Naruto asked as he was slurping ramen noodles.
"I sure did...and it sounded like someone loves you..." Kakashi replied.
"Hm...that voice didn't sound like that Jin girl from last night...I wonder who else would love Naruto," Sakura thought.
"That's not Jin's voice...it sounds like that brunette from Team Kurenai..." Sasuke thought.
"Kakashi-sensei...I believe that voice sounded like Hinata Hyuga," Sasuke spoke up.
"What? That can't be! Hinata hardly says anything!" Naruto replied.
"Well, who do you think it is then, Naruto? You're just too stupid to realize that Hinata likes you, too! She's just too shy to tell you! It seems that EVERYONE except YOU noticed that!" Sakura replied, annoyed.
"It's true, Naruto...they're right. That is Hinata Hyuga's voice," Kakashi confronted Naruto.
"H-Huh? Seriously?"
Kakashi, Sakura, and Sasuke nodded in unison.
"Whoa! I'm a total chick magnet!" Naruto said happily, putting his arms behind his head.
"Uh...ok, you can put it that way..." Kakashi said.
"I wonder why Hinata's here...did Kurenai's team come here, too?" Kakashi thought questioningly.
"If you'll excuse me, people, I'll take a little walk for a moment. You can hang out with Jin back at that mall. I have some business to take care of," Kakashi said.
"ALRIGHT!" Naruto said, jumping up and down hyperactively.
Sasuke looked up at Kakashi.
"Hey Kakashi-sensei, where are you going?" Sakura asked.
"That's not your business..." Kakashi replied. "Good-bye!"
"See ya, Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto waved. "COME ON, PEOPLE, LET'S GO!"
"Ok, Naruto, hold on!" Sakura cried. "Come on, Sasuke!"
Sakura grabbed Sasuke's wrist and pulled it so he could follow her.
"Ok, Sakura, stop pulling!" Sasuke said, breaking free of her hand.
"Sorry."
"GOD DAMMIT, WHY CAN'T I JUST MAKE SOME CONTACT WITH SASUKE!" Inner Sakura cried loudly.
After a five-minute walk, they came across the mall Jin worked in. They walked in and found the Kimimaro store, and paid a visit to her.
"Hey! Jin!" Naruto waved.
Jin was folding clothes and found Naruto waving outside the store. She asked someone to cover for her, and hugged Naruto. Her eyes weren't glowing like the night before, but they stayed a mysterious sapphire blue color.
"Hey Naruto!" Jin hugged, and let go. "Sakura, Sasuke, it's nice to see you, too."
Sakura waved, Sasuke didn't say anything.
"Ah, Sasuke...you haven't changed a bit after four years," Jin sighed.
"Well...I have someone covering for me, do you wanna just...hang out?" Jin asked.
"That sounds great! Where are we gonna 'hang out'?" Sakura asked happily.
"I was just thinking just to talk in the park," Jin replied.
"That sounds refreshing! It is pretty warm outside, but a beautiful day!" Sakura said happily.
"Her eyes aren't glowing anymore...she can see again," Sasuke thought.
"Well, is that okay with you, Sasuke?" Jin asked, looking over Sakura's shoulder.
"Yeah...sure," Sasuke answered.
"Great," Jin said. "Let's go!"

"Kiba, answer this question then...who are the two people that were out there? Give me their first name," Kurenai asked sternly. "You better get this right, or it's grass for lunch and dinner."
"I thought it was no lunch or dinner," Shino said.
"Well...lunch and dinner is too harsh. You'll get weak. Shinobi"
"...Have to survive in any and every condition," Kakashi finished from behind.
Kurenai turned around. "Kakashi...what are you doing here?"
"Same thing I wanna ask you," Kakashi replied. "What brings you and your team here?"
"Training...as spy shinobi..." Kurenai then whispered behind Kakashi's ear. "We happened to see one of your students and a girl last night."
"Really...that was Naruto and his new...um, friend...Jin," Kakashi said out loud.
"Wait! There was a reason I whispered in your ear!"
"Hey! I know it now! Naruto and some girl named Jin was out by the lake!" Kiba said happily.
"Oh...sorry about that," Kakashi said jokingly. "Anyway, me and the team heard a certain someone shout out a certain sentence..."
Hinata twiddled her fingers and looked away.
"Hinata...you...happen to find Naruto...attractive?" Kakashi asked curiously.
"U-u-uh...maybe..." Hinata replied quietly, almost starting to cry.
"Mmhm...why don't you come with me and we can visit him..." Kakashi offered.
"Oh...I don't know...do you think he'll let me be with him?" Hinata asked.
"Of course. He did think he was a chick magnet when he and the rest of us heard you."
"Um...okay then...Kurenai-sensei, can I go with Kakashi-sensei?" Hinata asked.
"Yes you may. Come back in a few hours or so. You passed my test anyway," Kurenai said happily.
"HEY, WHAT! THAT'S NOT FAIR!" Kiba shouted, pointing at Hinata.
"Hm...you technically didn't answer that last question, so you better get down on your knees for lunch and dinner! I'm watching every move of yours when you eat..." Kurenai said austerely.
"Errgg...god dammit!" Kiba said, frowning.
"Well, good bye!" Kakashi waved, as Hinata kept twiddling her fingers.
As they walked away from the rest of Hinata's team, Kakashi planned to ask Hinata about Jin. "Well...since you like Naruto so much, do you happen to dislike Jin?"
"U-u-uhh...yes sir," Hinata replied reluctantly.
"It's all right..as long as you tell the truth," Kakashi replied, giving a happy look in his eye.
A/N: Whew! Finally! Done with chapter 6! Ok, well...I probably made Hinata a little out of character...poo. smacks self on head
