Ch. 3 Kakashi's Day with Naruto

After Naruto woke up from his rampage attack, he realized that he was alone. "Kaida! Sasuke! Sakura! Where are you guys?" Then he ran around the Uchiha compound looking for his missing friends. I alone and it's not even Christmas yet! He stopped running when a one-eyed figure appeared in front of him. "Kakashi!"

"Hey Naruto. Why are you panicking? I'm here with you." For once Kakashi wasn't concentrating on his book. In fact, he didn't have his book with him. He was helping distract Naruto so Kaida, Sasuke, and Sakura could prepare for Naruto's best Christmas ever.

"Right. Sorry. I forgot you were here with us."

Kakashi bent his head down in sorrow. Man! Everybody forgets about me! Where's the love, man!?

"Where did the others go?"

"Um… uhhh… they went… to… go Christmas shopping. They thought you wouldn't like it and went ahead."

"Oh." Then Naruto's head bent down in sorrow and it looked like he was going to cry. Christmas shopping. Why does everyone else have such a great time during Christmas and I don't? Does the world hate me?

When Kakashi saw that he was near to tears, he tried to think of things he could do with Naruto while the others were gone. "Don't worry, Naruto. They said they would meet us at Ichiraku's when they were done."

"Oh, okay."

"So Naruto, what do you want to do?"

"I don't know." Then Naruto had an idea. "Hey Kakashi."

"Yeah."

"I know what we can do."

-------------------------------------------------

"Isn't there anything else you want to do besides eat ramen?" Kakashi and Naruto were having a pleasant stroll, but all of the things Naruto wanted to do involved ramen.

"Well, I wanted to made snow angels with Kaida and Sakura but they're not here."

"Oh right. Well we could---oh my God!" Naruto's eyes followed what Kakashi got all work up about and sweat dropped at what he saw: the Christmas edition of the Icha Icha Paradise series. "I've been waiting so long to get this one! Naruto, do you mind if I go in there and…?"

"Knock yourself out Kakashi." Literally. Then Kakashi skipped into the book store to buy the book. "So much for spending time together. Why does he like that book so much?" Then Naruto left without a thought of waiting for Kakashi. "I'm just gonna see what everybody else is doing then I'll try to find Sasuke and the others." And with that, he left, leaving a very pissed Kakashi.

Damn it! These kids give me such a hard time! Then he ran off to find Naruto.

----------------------------------------

"Sorry, Naruto but I'm too busy." Shikamaru said to the blond boy in front of him. "My mom wants me to help with the Christmas preparations and stuff. Her sister is coming and she's bringing her baby with her, so it's going to be so troublesome."

"That's the same response I got from everybody else."

"Did you ask Hinata?"

"Yeah. She even put my down."

FLASHBACK

I was on my way to Hinata's house after going to Choji's and Kiba's and they were all busy with Christmas preparations.

Before I could knock on the door, Hinata already answered the door. It's like she had ESP and knew I was coming. "Um… H-h-hey Naruto. W-w-what are y-you doing here?"

"I was just wondering if you would like to, you know, hang out today. Everybody else is busy."

"Uh… well… so am I. I'm sorry N-naruto but my father wants everything to be perfect on Christmas. I'm really sorry."

"It's okay. I'm used to it." I headed towards Shikamaru's house feeling rejected… again.

"Naruto…"

"No really. It's okay. I'll see you later."

FLASHBACK END

--

"That's weird. Hinata usually always wants to be with you."

"Yeah, but today, she was totally busy. It's like everybody's avoiding me."

"Christmas is a busy holiday, Naruto. Everybody's going to be busy."

"Yeah. It's like that every year." Naruto turned around and walked away. "I'll see you later Shikamaru."

"See ya, Naruto. And Happy Holidays."

I wish people would stop saying that! "What am I suppose to do now? Everybody's busy and Kakashi is probably still busy with his perverted book shopping! Stupid X-mas!" Naruto kicked the snow as hard as he could then he started rapidly kicking the ground with his fury rising. "I HATE CHRISTMAS!" He yelled to the heavens shaking his fists in the air.

"Naruto!" Then he turned around to see who was calling him. He saw a flash of gray and he knew who it was. Kakashi. Then he thought of a plan. I'll get my revenge for leaving me to get a stupid perverted book. Then he ran away.

----------------------------------

"Naruto! Naruto, wait!" Damn kid! Kakashi looked all around the village for Naruto and even looked in his favorite places (which was the most obvious place to look) (for you slow people, it's Ichiraku's), but he still wasn't there. Then Kakashi heard yelling and ran to the noise, seeing a flash of spiky blond and knew it was Naruto. Kid must be frustrated that I left him. Kakashi saw Naruto look at him, but Naruto ran anyway. Where is he going?

Kakashi kept running, and soon, he was in the middle of a square alley; the perfect target range. "YAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!" Naruto was firing truck loads of snow at Kakashi and Kakashi couldn't keep up with any of his throws.

Damn! This kid can't quit when it comes to snowball fights. I'm just gonna have to beat him at his own game. Kakashi pulled up his forehead protector and activated his Sharigan then started to make hand signs to form a jutsu. "Water style, Snow Wolf Jutsu!" (I made it up.)

"Oh crap!" The snow Naruto was throwing at Kakashi started to form into a giant wolf and was ready to attack Naruto.

I have to be easy on him. He's still just a kid. Kakashi did another hand sign then the snow wolf fired water out of his mouth. It was a direct hit, but Naruto wasn't there. Holy shit! I must have hit him too hard. I'm going to be in a hell of trouble!

"Nice try, Kakashi!" Kakashi turned around to see Naruto on top of a building with piles of snowballs for reinforcement. "You have to be a lot quicker than that to defeat me in a snowball fight." Then Kakashi ducked in cover, preparing for his doom.

Oh crap…

--------------------------------

"I wonder what Kakashi's doing with him now." Right on cue, Naruto was walking toward them with Kakashi in a wagon covered in a heap of snow. The three of them were thinking the worst.

"Dang, Naruto. What did you do to him?" Sasuke asked.

"Oh, um I just had a little snowball fight with him is all."

A little snowball fight, huh? "Well, it must've been fun… for you that is." Kaida said.

"Yeah, it was. So how was the Christmas shopping?"

"Oh… uh… it was fun." Sakura said. "You should've come with us, Naruto. I'm sure you would have enjoyed it, too."

"Yeah, maybe." Not! "Well, let's not just stand here. Let's have some ramen!"

"What about Kakashi?" Kaida informed. Naruto just stared back at him and shrugged.

"He'll be fine." Everybody else agreed, while Kaida was still disprovable, but she went inside with everybody else, not wanting to stay outside with Kakashi in the cold.

I'm sorry if this chapter was short, but I want this story done before Christmas. I hope you enjoyed it!
