Chapter 2: Team 7… chibified
"Touchan, I'm hungry," a young kid in an age about 5 years who looked exactly like Naruto told Kakashi tugging on his leg more. Kakashi blinked at the youngster and looked at the other two who were behind him which made him even more confused, it was a younger version of Sasuke who was carrying a sleeping younger version of Sakura on his back.
"Can we go in touchan? Sakura's getting heavy," the Sasuke-chibi said. Kakashi at first didn't know what to do but then let them in anyways. Sasuke-chibi put down Sakura-chibi on his bed as she hugged a pillow and continued with her sleep. Naruto-chibi went inside the kitchen with Kakashi so they could get something to eat. Naruto-chibi sat down on a chair as Kakashi started making breakfast. It was silent for a long time until Naruto-chibi started kicking the table out of boredom.
"Stop that," Kakashi said. Naruto-chibi bowed his head down in shame and obediently stopped kicking the table. As the silver haired Jounin prepared some eggs he turned to the blonde. "Do you want scrambled or sunny side up?" he asked.
"Um… I like scrambled… but I don't know with the others…" Naruto-chibi said.
"All right, I'll ask them, don't touch anything okay?" Kakashi said as Naruto-chibi nodded and Kakashi went out the kitchen and into his room to find Sakura-chibi already awake and playing with Sasuke-chibi. He wasn't exactly sure if they were really Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke but then… "Sasuke, Sakura," he said.
"Hai touchan?" the two asked turning to the silver haired Jounin. Kakashi blinked once more in confusion, he figured he should talk to all three of them during breakfast.
"Um… do you guys want scrambled eggs or sunny side up?" he asked.
"Ah… can I have sunny side up touchan?" Sakura-chibi asked.
"I'll have scrambled," Sasuke-chibi said.
"Uh… okay…" Kakashi said and went back in the kitchen to continue cooking. A while later when everyone was settled in the table, silently eating their breakfast, Kakashi took this time to ask them what was going on. "Okay, so, can you three tell me your names?" he asked.
"I thought you already knew our names touchan," Sakura-chibi said.
"Yeah well… I… just want to make sure," Kakashi said giggling nervously.
"Oh, well, if touchan must know, I'm Uzumaki Naruto," the Naruto-chibi said.
"I'm Haruno Sakura…" Sakura-chibi added shyly.
"And I'm Uchiha Sasuke," Sasuke-chibi finished.
'Just as I suspected, these kids look like they have no clue on what's going on… I wonder who made them this way?' Kakashi thought to himself.
"Hey touchan, can we go to the park after breakfast?" Sasuke asked eagerly.
"Ah? Oh… of course Sasuke," Kakashi replied, but then he noticed that they were wearing the same clothes, only this time it didn't seem to fit them anymore, it looked too loose on them. "Um… right after I find some decent clothes for you three…" he said. After a while he managed to find two pairs of denim pants the perfect sizes for Sasuke and Naruto and a blue shirt for Sasuke and an orange one for Naruto, where he found a cute pink dress with floral prints for Sakura was a mystery. While Kakashi was dressing up Sasuke Naruto went up to Sakura with an idea.
"Hey Sakura-chan, let's explore the closet," the blonde told her. Sakura looked up to the blonde and looked over his shoulder to the dark closet behind them. She shrunk back in fear, looking down on the floor.
"But it looks so dark Naruto-kun…" she said. Naruto titled his head a little to the side rather cutely looking at Sakura.
"Is Sakura-chan scared?" he asked in an innocent way. Sakura blushed in embarrassment, still looking down on the floor and nodded. The blonde then smiled brightly and stood up. "Then I'll protect Sakura-chan from the closet!" he said happily. This made the pink haired 5-year-old look up to Naruto's eyes; the look in those sapphire orbs reassured the little Sakura as she smiled brightly and took the hand that Naruto was holding out to her.
"You promise?" Sakura asked.
"I promise," Naruto replied.
"Hey! Can I come too?" Sasuke asked, innocent eyes sparkling. Naruto smiled towards the chibified Uchiha and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Of course Sasuke-kun! We'll all go!" Naruto cheered.
"What about touchan?" Sakura asked.
"Touchan's still kinda busy making some snacks for when we go to the park," Sasuke answered.
"Then let's go!" Naruto said, pulling both Sakura and Sasuke's arms towards the closet. When the reached the open closet the little pink haired girl hid behind Naruto, seeing at how dark it was. The blonde also seemed to be intimidated by how big it was for a little 5-year-old like himself. "It does look scary…" he said. Seeing that the two were just standing there, Sasuke decided that he should go in first.
"I'll go in first," Sasuke said, taking a step towards the 'big-scary-closet'. When he did go inside Sakura started getting worried.
"Naruto-kun… what if Sasuke-kun sees a monster?" she asked timidly.
"Don't worry Sakura-chan… Sasuke-kun's brave… he could handle it…" Naruto reassured her.
"Hey Naruto-kun! Sakura-chan! There's a lot of cool stuff in here!" Sasuke said, calling out to them. Naruto and Sakura exchanged unsure glances before going inside the closet with Sasuke. There they saw him wearing a forehead protector the way Kakashi wears his forehead protector, a Jounin jacket and what looked like Kakashi's mask. All of which looked too loose to fit his little body. "Look! I'm touchan!" he said as Sakura and Naruto burst into laughter.
"Sasuke-kun looks funny!" Sakura said in between laughs.
"Hey I wanna try!" Naruto said, running up to Sasuke as the black haired boy let him wear Kakashi's Jounin jacket. While the two played along with Kakashi's things in the closet Sakura caught sight of something sitting at the corner of the closet. When she walked closer to it, it was a cute stuffed panda. She smiled happily and went down on her knees to pick it up.
"What are you doing here little one?" she asked the panda, as if waiting for an answer. You know how 5-year-olds are. There was of course no answer from the stuffed toy but Sakura pretended there was. "Maybe touchan will let me keep you," Sakura told it.
"Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, let's go," they heard Kakashi's voice say. Sasuke and Naruto put away the things they were playing with and Sakura went out, clutching the panda close to her. The young pink haired girl slowly went up to Kakashi and tugged on his pants, making the Jounin look down on her, finding the familiar stuffed toy she was holding. Kakashi bent down on one knee to meet Sakura's emerald eyes. "What have you got there Sakura?" he asked gently.
"A panda…" the pink haired girl said. The silver haired Jounin smiled under his mask and placed a hand on Sakura's head.
"Do you want it?" he asked. Sakura nodded with a smile. "Okay then, you can have it," Kakashi said.
"I can?" Sakura asked innocently. Kakashi nodded, looking down at the stuffed panda.
"Did you know that used to mine when I was little like you?" he told her.
"Really? What was his name?" Sakura asked.
"Um… I forgot now, but then you could give him a new name," Kakashi said.
"Um… okay, I'll name him…can it be a girl touchan?" Sakura asked, finding it hard to look for a cute boy panda name. Kakashi laughed a little at how innocent Sakura was and nodded, seeing Sakura smile could make anyone's day bright. "Then I'll name her Keiko-chan!" she said happily.
"Keiko-chan huh? It's a nice name," Kakashi said. He felt another tug coming from behind him to see an impatient looking Naruto and Sasuke.
"Touchan, are we going or not?" Naruto asked. The Jounin stood up as the three 5-year-olds looked up to him.
"All right, all right, we'll go now," Kakashi said.
"Yay! I want to go on the swings!" Naruto cheered.
"I want to go on the slide!" Sasuke said. Sakura just kept quiet, holding onto her panda. "Where do you want to go on Sakura-chan?" Sasuke asked. Sakura looked at her Keiko-chan and back to Sasuke.
"Keiko-chan and I want to play on the sand box," she told him. Sasuke blinked at the panda she was holding and then smiled.
"Okay, whatever Keiko-chan says," he said. Kakashi smiled at how well they got along, when they were teens they sure get into a lot of fights. When Kakashi thought seeing his team 7 chibified was enough, the time they arrived at the park there was a bigger surprise.
