Chapter 4: Missing!
Kurenai, Asuma and Tsunade sat on the same bench, watching their chibi teams play happily. Sasuke suggested that they'd play hide-and-seek instead because it'd be fun if there were so many people playing. Shikamaru thought they would have a hard time finding everyone one-by-one so he suggested that they split into pairs. While they were choosing their pairs Asuma noticed two kids missing. He turned his head from side-to-side to look for the two kids. Kurenai and Tsuande noticed his actions and were getting a little worried. "Is something wrong Asuma?" Kurenai asked.
"There are two kids who aren't there," Asuma said.
"Who? There are so many of them I didn't notice anything," Kurenai said. Tsuande then knew who were the two missing kids.
"Where's Tenten and Ino?" she said. Gai heard this and so did Asuma and they both twitched anxiously. In a flash Gai was out of his depression stage and standing next to Tsunade on the bench.
"WHAT! TENTEN'S MISSING!" he yelled, making the three on the bench lean away from him because of the impact. Everything was then quiet, even from the children; they stopped their happy chattering and stared at the shiny haired Jounin.
"Tenten-chan's missing?" Neji asked. Sakura gasped noticing another thing.
"Ino-chan's not here too!" she said. Hinata grasped her stuffed toy dog tightly.
"W-what if they get hurt?" the shy girl said.
"Don't worry! Akamaru will find them! Right Akamaru?" Kiba said but there was no answer, he blinked a few times before calling him again. "Akamaru?" he said. No answer, noticing that his puppy was also missing he sat on the grass and started crying. "Akamaru's gone to!" he sobbed. Kurenai got up from the bench and carried Kiba, trying to soothe the crying 5-year-old.
"Shh… don't cry Kiba…" she told him.
"But what if Akamaru gets hurt! I don't like it when he gets hurt!" Kiba said, continuing to sob. The rest of the kids were watching him cry, and as if Kiba's sobbing was infectious they also dropped down on the grass, crying their little hearts out.
"That's a horrible thing to say! No one should get hurt!" Naruto sobbed.
"What if Tenten-chan and Ino-chan never come back?" Sasuke cried.
"I would hate it too if Keiko-chan would go missing!" Sakura cried, grasping her stuffed toy panda tight.
"I want Akamaru!" Kiba sobbed.
"Kaachan! Carry me too!" Shino sobbed, tugging on Kurenai's clothing.
"I don't like it when people cry… it makes me wanna cry too…" Hinata said softly, crying also and hugging her stuffed toy puppy.
"I want Ino-chan and Tenten-chan to come back!" Chouji sobbed, kicking his feet up and down.
"Me too!" Shikamaru agreed, crying also.
"I want someone to carry me!" Neji cried.
"Everyone looks so sad! It makes me sad!" Lee cried.
"Oneesan! Oniichan! Don't cry!" Gaara said when he was also crying, clinging onto his older brother and sister.
"I'm sorry I said you looked stupid with those pigtails! I would hate it if you'd go missing!" Kankuro sobbed, hugging Temari.
"And I would hate it if you'd go missing too! I'm sorry I called your puppets dolls!" Temari sobbed, hugging Kankuro back. As the little chibis cried and cried the Jounins started panicking as they rushed to their crying chibis.
"Now, now kids, come here," Kakashi said, opening his arms wide as team 7 walked over to him, letting him give them a big hug. "Don't cry anymore kids," he said, hugging all three of them fatherly-like.
"Kiba, come on Kiba stop crying already," Kurenai said, going down on one knee as she put Kiba down, his brown teary eyes looking at her red ones. Kurenai opened her mouth to say something when Hinata and Shino came rushing to her, hugging her tightly, still crying.
"Kaachan, I want a hug," Shino sobbed.
"Kaachan, Shiroi-chan's sad too," Hinata cried. Kurenai sighed, thinking that taking care of three sensitive 5-year-olds won't be so easy after all.
"Chouji, Shikamaru, don't cry anymore, we'll find Ino-chan," Asuma said reassuringly, placing his hands gently on their heads. Shikamaru sniffed and Chouji wiped a small tear from his face.
"But what if something bad happens to Ino-chan before you find them?" Shikamaru asked.
"Don't say that Shikamaru-kun! It might come true!" Chouji said.
"Now don't you guys worry about that," Asuma reassured. 'A 5-year-old, a 6-year-old and a puppy won't be so hard to find… I hope…' he thought.
"Neji! Lee! You are men! You have to be strong!" Gai told the two 6-year-olds, with those anime flames in his eyes. Neji and Lee looked up to him for a short while then after that they started crying again.
"Touchan looks scary!" Lee cried, standing closer to Neji.
"I miss Tenten-chan!" Neji sobbed.
"You have a lot to learn about fathering Gai," Kakashi said, his team stopped crying already because of his comforting hug and words. Noticing this Gai started crying rivers.
'Even in taking care of young kids he's better than me…' he thought.
"Temari, Kankuro, stop crying, you both are being an example to your younger brother," Tsunade told the sand siblings as they were crying and crying. "Temari, Kankuro, Gaara," the older blonde said, in an annoyed tone of voice, but they just kept on crying. Tsunade was already twitching frustrated-like. "Don't make me angry you three," she said.
"Na, na, Godaime-sama, that's no way to treat those three while their crying," Kakashi told her. Tsunade turned her head slowly to the silver haired Jounin, glaring deathly anime-like at him. "Um… but hey! They're your kids so… I'll just back away…" Kakashi said, sweat-dropping while slowly backing away. Tsunade sighed while going back at the crying sand siblings.
"Look, I'll treat you three to ice cream if you stop crying," Tsunade said.
"Okay," Temari, Kankuro and Gaara said at the same time. Tsunade fell in anime form at this.
"But we have to find Tenten, Ino and Akamaru first," Kurenai said.
"I agree with Kurenai, but then," Tsunade said, looking down on the chibified teams as they were all looking up to the Jounins. "Someone has to stay and look after the kids," she said, all of the sudden all eyes turned to Kakashi who was reading his book again, until he noticed the eyes looking at him.
"What?" he said.
"Kakashi, you're obviously the one the kids like," Tsunade said.
"Me? What made you think that?" Kakashi said, confused.
"Kakashi-niisan, can I have ice cream?" Neji asked, tugging at his jacket.
"Maybe later Neji, we're kinda busy right now," Kakashi told him. The chibified Hyuuga pouted at him.
"But later sounds like it would take a long time," he said. Kakashi smiled under his mask and placed his hand on Neji's head.
"No it won't," he said.
"Are you sure?" Neji asked, tilting his head to one side.
"Well… I'm not sure myself…" Kakashi said, glancing at the other Jounins and one Hokage staring at him.
"See? It will take a long time!" Neji said. The silver head Jounin turned back to the black haired boy.
"Neji, I promise once we call off this meeting I'll buy you any ice cream flavor you want, okay? In the meantime, why don't you play with the other kids?" Kakashi told him. Neji stayed silent in thought when he turned back to the Jounin with a smile.
"All right, but you promised okay?" Neji said. Kakashi smiled back at the young boy and ruffled his hair.
"Okay," he said and Neji ran off to the other kids who were continuing on their game of tag. Kakashi turned back to the older group who were giving him looks. He blinked and sighed. "All right, all right, I'll stay and watch the kids," he said.
"So we're all settled then, Kakashi stays and watches the kids while we search for Ino and Tenten," Asuma said.
"Don't forget Akamaru," Kiba said, tugging at the Jounin's jacket.
"Um… yeah, and Akamaru," Asuma continued.
"But wait, you guys aren't just going to leave me with these kids right? Shouldn't I have a partner or something?" Kakashi asked.
"Kakashi if you could take care of these three kids," Gai said, pointing to Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke. "Then you could take care of the rest, be strong my rival!" Gai said, doing his anime-flame eyes action and fist in the air pose.
"Will you stop doing that Gai? You're scaring the kids," Kakashi pointed out.
"Huh?" Gai said and turned to see the kids backing away fearfully from the shiny haired Jounin.
"Neji-niisan… why is your touchan so scary?" Hinata asked in her soft voice.
"I don't know Hinata-chan…" Neji said. Gai bowed his head down and went to depression stage again. Tsunade sighed at this.
"He'll never learn," she said.
