Chapter 6-Baby sitter? Part 2
Kakashi came out from the grocery store while carrying two brown bags in his hands. He had a pastel bag that hung from his left arm. In the bag were pieces of clothing that he bought for his students. At first, it was hard for him to decide what clothes would look best on them and to guess what size they wore. But now he had everything and he was heading straight home.
That was, until someone gripped on Kakashi's shoulder. "There you are, Kakashi! I've been looking all over for you!"
"Oh no…not right now!" Kakashi thought, sighing.
Yup, it was his rival, Maito Gai. A man with a thick eyebrows and a black hairstyle was cut into mushroom shape, or should I say a bowl cut? He wore a green colored suit with a light green vest over it and he had red head protector that was wrapped around his waist.
"Oy Gai, what can I do for you?" Kakashi asked, although, he pretty much knew what he was going to say.
Gai placed his hands on his hips, "What do you think?! Today is our match and you didn't show up!"
"Oh…I forgot about it," he lied.
"Now that I found you, let's do our match! Right now!"
"Sorry Gai, maybe some other time."
"What!? You can't skip our match! Unless you're admitting defeat!"
"Yeah Gai, that's right," Kakashi said, uncaringly. "I hope that will make him go away now."
"I won't accept it! I still want you to do our match no matter what!"
Kakashi sighed, "Look Gai, I have many things to do now. Could we do our match some other times?"
"Is it really important?"
"Yes."
"All right! We'll do our match tomorrow, is that okay with you?"
"Hai, hai, that's fine."
Gai showed his shining teeth while giving him two thumbs up. "Very well! Tomorrow it is! I'll come by at your apartment! I'll see you tomorrow my rival!" The man with thick eyebrows sped off using his quick speed, leaving the 'scarecrow' alone.
"At least that settled it. Now it's time to go back home." Kakashi walked back to his house.
-At Kakashi's Home—
"That is enough, Naruto!" Kiba was able to catch a book before it hit him.
Naruto stood there, blinking at him. Kiba sighed in relief. "Finally. Now that that is over, let's go—OW!"
Naruto had thrown another book at him. "Haha! Onii-san, you suck!" he laughed, pointing at Kiba.
This time, Kiba was angrier than ever. "Why you! I'm going to hit you!"
"NOOOOOOOOO!!!" Naruto ran away from Kiba who was chasing after him.
"W-what's going o-on?" Hinata said, standing up when she heard the scream. She saw Naruto came towards her. Then, the boy hid behind her.
Kiba confronted Hinata and Naruto. "Naruto, get over here right now!" he ordered him.
"No way!" Naruto shook his head.
"K-Kiba-kun, what a-are you d-doing?" Hinata asked, curiously.
"What am I doing? I'm going to hit him for what he did to me!"
"W-what did h-he do t-to you?"
"He threw books at me and it hurts a lot!"
"That's not true! I didn't do that!" Naruto argued.
"Yes, you did! Don't lie!"
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"P-please…you t-two, stop f-fighting." Hinata didn't like it at all when people fought each other.
"Hinata, I'm telling the truth! This kid is lying!"
"N-Naruto-kun, is i-it true t-that you t-threw books a-at him?" She stared at him shyly.
"Onee-chan…you don't really believe him do you?" Naruto said, giving her the 'puppy eyes'.
"K-kawaii!!!" Hinata couldn't resist Naruto's cute face.
Hinata faced at Kiba, "K-Kiba-kun, I'm sure N-Naruto-kun didn't m-mean to d-do that." She began twiddling her fingers nervously.
Kiba's jaw dropped. "What?! You can't be serious! He just hurt me!"
"I-I'm sure i-it was a-an accident! R-right, Naruto-kun?"
"Hai, Onee-chan!" Naruto smiled.
"S-see. I t-told you." Hinata didn't notice when Naruto stuck his tongue out at Kiba.
"Hinata, look what he did! He just stuck his tongue out at me!" Kiba pointed at Naruto.
Hinata looked behind at Naruto. Naruto looked at her with his innocent face. "N-now, now, K-Kiba-kun, there i-is no n-need to p-pick on N-Naruto-kun like t-that."
"But he—"
"N-no buts! You c-can't keep o-on bullying N-Naruto-kun just b-because you're older than h-him. He's a v-very sweet k-kid who h-hasn't done a-anything wrong."
"Sweet kid? Yeah right, in your dreams! He's nothing but an evil kid!" Kiba thought.
Hinata patted Naruto's head. "N-now Naruto-kun, g-go back t-to Kiba-kun a-and be a g-good boy, o-okay?"
"Hai, Onee-chan!" He gave her a cute smile and began skipping back to Kiba.
"Waaiiii, N-Naruto-kun, you're s-so cute!!! I w-wish I c-could hug y-you now!" Hinata squealed inside her mind.
Hinata then felt a tug on her jacket. She looked down and found a little pink haired girl staring at her. "Onee-chan?"
"Y-Yes, Sakura?" Hinata forgot about Sakura who she was baby sitting.
"You still haven't answered my question."
"W-what question?"
"You know, if you have one or not?"
"O-oh...right! H-heh…heh…" Hinata had forgotten about it. "…U-um…uh…"
"Sweet kid?! You're nothing but a liar!" Kiba said to Naruto in a hushed tone, so that Hinata wouldn't hear him.
"At least Onee-chan will believe me more than you, baka!" Naruto said, smirking.
"Why, you little brat!" Kiba yelled, ready to strangle him.
"Brat, brat, brat!" Naruto repeated after Kiba.
"Hey, stop saying that!"
Hinata heard the repeating word 'brat'. She turned to her teammate. "K-Kiba-kun, look w-what have y-you've done. Y-you shouldn't t-teach him t-that word!"
"Onee-chan?" Sakura, who was being ignored, tugged on Hinata's jacket.
"He's the one makes me say it! I didn't say it on purpose!" Kiba argued. Sakura continued to be ignored.
"You do realize it was your fault." Shino said, joining in the conversation, but he still remained in his seat. Sasuke continued to watch television without realizing what was happening.
"Shut up! It was not my fault, Shino!"
"Shut up, shut up, shut up!" Naruto repeated after him.
"Ah, don't say that!" Kiba covered Naruto's small mouth with his hand.
Naruto bit his hand. "OW!" Kiba uncovered Naruto's mouth, staring at his hand where Naruto had bit him. Then, he glared at the little boy. "You're so dead, Naruto!" He started chasing after him once again.
Hinata stopped him though. "N-now, now, K-Kiba-kun. It's n-not right f-for you t-to be a-angry at N-Naruto-kun."
"Not right to be angry!? You had no idea what he did to me! He just bit my hand! You saw everything Shino, right?" Kiba looked at Shino.
"No comment," Shino replied bluntly.
"Nani!? What do you mean, 'no comment'!? You're supposed to be helping me!"
"I help no one. Solve your own problems."
"Damn you Shino! You're nothing but a traitor!"
Shino didn't reply, he just stayed quiet.
Kiba went back to look at Naruto who was standing there, acting as if he was a good boy. He pushed Hinata's words away. "You are in deep trouble, young man!" Kiba glared at Naruto.
Naruto stomped his feet at the same time. "No, I'm not!"
"Yes, you are!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!
"Am not, am not, am not!"
"Are too, are too, are too and that's final!"
Naruto made a grumpy face.
"Geez, what am I going to do with you? You really are a troublemaker!" Kiba was rubbing his forehead as if he was getting a headache.
Naruto stared at Kiba. An idea popped up to his mind. Naruto followed, imitating what Kiba was doing. "Geez, what am I going to do with you? You really are a troublemaker!"
Kiba noticed and glared at Naruto. "Hey, don't copy what I said!"
"Hey, don't copy what I said!"
"Stop copying me!"
"Stop copying me!" Naruto said in the same tone as Kiba, making the Inuzuka very angry. The shinobi glared at him even more.
"Stop it!"
"Stop it!"
"Stop it or I'll be mad!"
"Stop it or I'll be mad!"
"Quit it!" Kiba put his hands on his hips.
"Quit it!" Naruto did the same as Kiba.
"Why you little…"
"Why you little…" Naruto was trying to scowl like Kiba, he felt like giggling.
"Stupid Naruto! He's making fun of me! I'll show him, but how? Wait! I know! This will fool him. Heh, heh!"
"I am an idiot." Kiba hoped that would fool him.
"Yup, you are an idiot!" Naruto laughed out loud which made Kiba feel more like a fool.
"Why you… How dare you call me that!" Kiba was ready to strangle him once again. However Hinata stopped him again.
"K-Kiba-kun, you n-need to c-calm down a-already! He's o-only a k-kid!" Hinata said, defending Naruto.
"He's not only a kid! He's also a nothing and soon-to-be-dead kid! Those comments make me want to kill him! Let me at him!"
"C-Calm down, K-Kiba-kun!" Hinata pushed Kiba away so he wouldn't get anywhere near Naruto.
"He got mad because of a little kid…he's making himself even more like an idiot," Shino muttered.
Then they heard a door open. "Tadaima!" Kakashi called as he walked into the living room.
"Okaeri, Kakashi-sensei!" Hinata was relieved that Kakashi came home just in time before Kiba killed Naruto.
"Papa's home!" Sakura said cheerfully.
"Papa Kaka!"
"Papa Kachi!"
They all ran to Kakashi and they all hugged his leg.
"Papa, I missed you!" Sakura gave her cute smile.
"I was only gone for an hour." Kakashi looked up at Team 8. "So, how did it go? Did they cause any trouble?"
"Of course they did! Naruto was—mffth!" Shino covered Kiba's mouth with his hand.
"No trouble at all. They were behaving very well, right Hinata?"
"T-That's right! E-Everything went f-fine!" Hinata played along with Shino.
"That's great to hear. Oh right, here's the money before I forget." Kakashi gave them each an envelope. "The money is inside. Thanks for taking care of them!"
"No problem. Let's go, Hinata." Shino dragged Kiba out of the house before he could argue.
"H-Hai, I'm c-coming!" Hinata picked Akamaru up and wrapped him around her arms. "J-Ja ne, K-Kakashi-sensei!" She bowed politely and chased after Kiba and Shino.
"Well at least, everything went well." Kakashi was glad by that though. "Time to cook lunch for them!" He rolled his sleeves up.
-Team 8—
"That brat! How could he mock me like that?" Kiba was still angry at Naruto.
"Well, it was your fault. You even called yourself the idiot," Shino corrected him.
"Shut up, Shino! You don't have to remind me that! Why did you have to tell me that anyways? Are you saying that because you're on his side?!"
"I'm on nobody's side."
Kiba kicked the rock that was on the ground and then glared at Akamaru. "And no thanks to you either, Akamaru! You didn't help me or nothing! You're becoming a lazy dog!"
"Bark, bark, bark!" Akamaru barked angrily.
"Oh, so now, you're saying it was my fault? How could it be my fault? And how would you know anyways? You didn't do anything to help!"
"P-Please Kiba-kun…c-calm yourself down…t-there's no n-need for y-you to b-be angry a-about it." Hinata motioned her hand up and down, to signal him to relax.
"Whatever! I don't ever want to Baby-sit that brat Naruto EVER AGAIN! And you Akamaru, you're going to get your punishment right when we get back home!" Kiba walked ahead.
Akamaru barked in shock and followed his owner, barking, "Bark, bark, bark!"
"That's what you get for not helping me! Like you said, you deserve it!"
Akamaru cried loudly.
"Crying is not going to change my mind!"
"K-Kiba-kun, you shouldn't t-take what N-Naruto-kun did seriously."
"Hinata, I have a right to take it seriously if I want to!"
"H-heh, heh… I-I guess t-that's true."
"It doesn't matter though, I guess. I mean, at least we got paid and that's what matters."
"H-hai…but I r-really enjoyed b-babysitting them. H-hope we b-baby sits t-them again." Hinata imagined little-Naruto giving a cute smile in her mind. "N-Naruto-kun, you're s-so cute!" She giggled out loud.
Shino raised his eyebrow and had an idea know what's on Hinata's mind. It was kind of obvious. "We should probably go before Kiba starts complaining."
"H-hai!"
