It's been a freaking adventure trying to upload this chapter, really. Curse you internet!

But nevertheless, here it is.

Warning - err yeah, I felt I should put a warning here after realising how much hinted pervertedness this chapter contains. It's nothing explicit but still.

As usual, enjoy.
Chapter 8 - DETENTION.

It was the end of the period before lunch time at Konoha High, one sunny afternoon. Hinata had finished picking up her documents and locked up her classroom to head of to break duty. She began heading for the Mathematics department.

When she reached there, she happened to bump into a blond, hyperactive member of staff. At this moment the halls of the maths building were completely empty except for her and the blond male. Hinata smiled as she approached him.

"Hello Naruto-kun." She said.

She noticed though, that he seemed to have a spaced out look on his face, which was wiped away when she spoke to him.

"Oh hello Hinata! How's it going?" he said back, grinning.

"Good, I was just going to drop off some files here…how come you're here Naruto-kun?" she asked.

Naruto blushed slightly.

"Well you see… I was actually hoping to you know, bump into someone." He said.

"O-oh? Who?" Hinata asked curiously.

"Just a certain female sensei… I mean she doesn't work in this department but I didn't want to make it obvious by going to her department… It's kinda complicated…can't really tell you who she is because I might be giving it away and stuff." Naruto rambled.

Hinata was confused. Should she have felt jealous? Somewhat there was the possibly that he could be talking about her, although it was too vague to be jumping to such conclusions.

"I used to think she didn't like me but now I realized something, since I'm more mature and all; what if she's just too shy to let me know how she feels?" Naruto continued.

Hinata's heart almost stopped and a huge blush began to show on her face. She couldn't possibly think of another female teacher in the school who was too shy. That last sentence was just too perfect to be coincidence. It had to be her he was talking about!

"Yeah, I might just let her know that the feelings mutual… If I drop it on her gently then, maybe she won't feel so intimidated anymore…" He continued, it was almost as if he was talking to himself.

"Na-Naruto… I, um… I'm so…" Hinata could feel the blush radiating from her cheeks, and her heartbeat was growing. Was he about to tell her cared for her? Finally? After all these years of being completely clueless? This was growing to be too much for Hinata to take.

"Hinata, are you okay? You look a little flustered." Naruto had a confused expression on his face.

"U-um I'm F-fine… I just…"

This was the worst possible time for her to be getting overwhelmed, just when Naruto was indirectly confessing to his feelings; however it could not be helped. Suddenly, Hinata collapsed to the floor. Naruto's eyes widened. "Hinata?! A-are you okay!?" Naruto screamed as he fell on his knees and picked the collapsed woman up. He placed his fingers on her wrist to see if she was still alive.

"Maybe she needs resuscitation! That's about the only thing I remember from teacher's training anyway…" Naruto rationed.

He leaned over her and his face was getting closer and closer to hers until the point where their noses almost touched. Hinata began to stir, as she did the first thing she saw was her childhood crush above her, making a kissy face. This mislead her further into thinking that the woman he was talking about was indeed her, and so she fainted again.

Naruto was struggling and so decided he was just going to scream for help when –

"What the heck are you doing to Hinata?" he heard a calm yet cold voice say.

"Gaara! Thank God you're here, I need help." Naruto said.

Gaara raised his brow; from where he was standing this did not look right at all, and the fact that Naruto asked his for 'help' didn't make it any better.

"Should you be doing such things in the school halls?" Gaara said.

Naruto had just caught on when he began to blush furiously.

"No, no, no!! I-I wasn't… She just… It's not my fault!!"

"What's all this racket? I'm trying to read before those kids get back." The grey haired sensei said as he was leaning at the doorway of a classroom across the hall.

His eyes moved to Naruto and the fainted Hinata.

"This is interesting… Naruto what are you doing?" Kakashi said as he put his novel away.

"Nothing! You guys are such perverts!! …Hinata fainted and I was gonna resuscitate her, but I can't 'cause… well it's weird." Naruto screamed.

"She has fainted; you don't resuscitate someone in that state, Naruto." Kakashi said.

"Oh… well that's why I need help, I don't know these things." Naruto sweat-dropped.

"EHEM" the three almost jumped as they heard a loud cough.

Tsunade was standing before the three boys and one fainted girl. What she saw did not come across too well. There was one female, collapsed, on the floor with Naruto on top of her and Gaara and Kakashi just standing there watching. To top it all off they were at a school corridor.

"What kind of teachers are you?" she said.

"Tsunade, I can explain… this isn't what it looks like!" Naruto said the cliché line that never, ever convinced anyone. In fact if anything, it just heightens the doubt.

Kakashi was sniggering slightly at the amount of trouble Naruto was going to be in, and Gaara was just standing there.

However this satisfaction from the two was not about to last for very long.

"Do you have any idea how bad this looks? Naruto I never thought you'd be one for sexual harassment, especially to poor little Hinata! Not to mention her father owns half of Konoha, if he was to find out about this then it would be the end of this school and I'd probably be in debt ten times over. Therefore a punishment is at hand; detention. All of you."

"B-but I wasn't! She just fainted! Hinata wake up and tell her!!" Naruto began shaking the girl, which didn't make his situation any better.

"Are you abusing her now? Do you want me to cut your pay too?" Tsunade said as she raised her eyebrow.

"Hey, what do you mean all of you?" Kakashi said. "I'm not involved."

"And exactly why aren't you involved? You should be doing something, such as calling me perhaps or some other medic-nin?" Tsunade said. "Congratulation, you three are the first teacher's in history to get detention. I'll let Orochimaru know he has visitors this evening. And Gaara don't even think about skipping out on it." And with that she was gone, taking the fainted Hinata with her.

"Oh, shit." Kakashi said, as Naruto was on the floor with streams of tears.

"This is so unfair, I'm innocent!!" He shouted

"I'm not going." Gaara said, casually. It's did puzzle him slightly as to how Tsunade knew what he was thinking, but he chose to overlook that.

/////Later on that day.

As the three were headed towards the much dreaded detention room, Naruto shivering from the stories Kakashi had told him and the tales he'd heard from students he himself had sent to detention, Gaara, who was completely pale with dread, had come up with a plan.

"Listen, we'll walk up to the room, and because it's so close to the exit, we'll just escape." He said, the other two looked doubtful but they were willing to try anything.

Naruto was particularly concerned as to how bad this detention could be by the fact that it had scarred Gaara so much. He always thought nothing would scare that guy, but this somewhat did.

As they neared the room, they did a smooth shift of direction and began heading for the light of the reception exit door. Suddenly, like an eclipse, the light was completely covered by a certain head teacher.

"The detention room is that way." Tsunade pointed.

Gaara frowned.

"This is stupid. Get out of my way I'm going home." He said as he tried to just walk past Tsunade. However he was grabbed by the collar and lifted off the ground then thrown into the dreaded room. Naruto and Kakashi's eyes widened. Tsunade smiled, hinting a "you know what to do" as the two walked into the room hesitantly. As they stood at the very edge, the door behind them shut tightly causing them to jerk slightly. It was almost completely dark as they saw a dark snake-like figure approach them.

"Oh, what have we here? The handsome young men, much older than my usual candidates; this is sure to be enjoyable." Orochimaru grinned as he eyed the three of them. "How interesting; Look at all the colours."

The three shinobi/sensei's where huggled up against the door and were shivering. However at Orochimaru's last comment, they all looked puzzled.

"Are you stoned?" Naruto questioned.

This caused Orochimaru to laugh, a cold pervy laugh…

"So innocent Naruto-kun; I meant your hair colours, silly. Mmmmm yes, it almost makes me hungry; Strawberry, Banana, and, err, Vanilla." He said pointing at them in order and grinning.

"You're not right in the head." Gaara said, he was trying hard to hide the tremble in his voice. He was standing by the door a little further away from Naruto and Kakashi. He had figured that there was nothing to be scarred of; Orochimaru wouldn't dare touch Sabaku no Gaara.

Unfortunately for him, his non-talkative self would have come in handy in this situation, as that last comment attracted Orochimaru's attention. He neared the red head who was also trying hard to keep a straight, apathetic face.

"Hmm sand shinobi… I think I'll start with you, we never spoke much before. Maybe we can get to know each other." He said this slowly as he was approaching Gaara, and he lifted his hand to touch his face.

Gaara's eyes widened.

"D-don't touch me i-if you know what's good for you." He said

"Oh?" Orochimaru grinned. "Maybe you can show me what's good for me" He said as he got closer.

"Poor Gaara…" Naruto whispered.

"At least it's keeping him busy, let's find a way to get out of here before he remembers we're here too and tries to strip us of our innocence." Kakashi whispered back.

Naruto had no idea what Kakashi was talking about but he nodded anyway.

Meanwhile, Gaara was backed into the wall with Orochimaru hovering above him. Suddenly his usual unbothered facial expression was back. Soon after a great wall of sand appeared between himself and the sannin.

"Sand? Oh Gaara-kun, this is no fun…" Orochimaru's face drooped as Gaara was currently protected in the sand shield that was surrounding him. He leaned against his sand wall and was trying to grasp his breath again.

"S-safe… I'm safe. Oh, my precious, beautiful sand!" He said as he tried to hug his sand.

"Oh well." Orochimaru smiled as he turned to face Kakashi and Naruto.

"ARRRGHHH Kakashi sensei!! What do we do now?!?!!? Granny-Tsunade!!! LET US OUT!!!! He's gonna steal out innocence!" Naruto began to freak out.

"Naruto-kun, please don't be scared. I just want to be your friend" Orochimaru said with a perverted smile on his face. However Naruto miss took it for a genuine one as he began to calm and stopped scratching at the door.

"Friend?" Naruto blinked and turned to face Orochimaru. "Is that it? Why are we screaming then…? No wait! You're Orochimaru; you kidnapped Sasuke and tried to destroy Konoha, WHY should I trust you?"

Orochimaru had an innocent look on his face.

"Oh that? That's all history Naruto-kun; I'd forgotten I'd done all that stuff until you reminded me just now. Besides, look how strong Sasuke-kun is now." He smiled.

Naruto had a blank look on his face.

"Really?"

Kakashi slapped his forehead.

"How about you Kakashi-kun? We can reenact some of those scenes in that little novel of yours."

Kakashi went blue.

"No thanks… stick with Naruto… he'll be your friend…" he said. "Naruto you'll be his friend right?"

Naruto smiled. "Yes! Friends are good. Kakashi-sensei, Orochimaru-san isn't as bad you said he'd be."

"Oh thank you Naruto-Kun, but you are so naïve and un-experienced, it will be rather enjoyable being friends with you later. However, for now Kakashi-kun…"

At this point Kakashi had run for Gaara's sand shield and was banging on it really hard.

"Gaara!! Let me in! Let me in!!"

"Oh Kakashi, this doesn't have to be so difficult… I could easily use my jutsu to paralyze you but it's more fun if you're willing…" Orochimaru continued.

"Kakashi-sensei…" Naruto questioned. He was still pondering the idea about Orochimaru wanting to be his "friend".

Oh shit… I'm going to get raped… That was all that was in Kakashi's mind at the current moment as he continued to bang at the sand shield.

"Gaara-oof!" Kakashi had fallen flat faced inside the gourd right before Orochimaru was about to touch him in places he'd much rather not have touched.

Gaara was sitting on the floor cross legged as Kakashi scattered in.

"Thanks, I owe you one." Kakashi said as he sighed deeply...

Gaara merely nodded as he was holding a bunch of sand on his hands. "Don't thank me, that the sand…" He said, his cold quiet voice was back in control now it seemed.

"Ah yes, thank you sand." Kakashi replied as he looked out to see what was happening to Naruto. Poor kid, he was not going to enjoy this. It seemed that he was still falling for Orochimaru's "friends" talk.

"So, you really honestly just want to be friends? Is that really it? No dirty tricks?" Naruto asked.

Orochimaru nodded.

"Oh okay… Well maybe we can start from scratch then, since I never liked you before." Naruto grinned.

With that Orochimaru got slightly closer. "Well Naruto-kun, you're no Uchiha but you really are rather cute…"

"Hey don't compare me Sasuke, I'm better than him!" Naruto frowned.

"Oh? Can you show me?" Orochimaru suggested with a crazy look in his eye.

Naruto blinked. "How?" He asked, still not understanding what Orochimaru was getting at.

"How about a game..." He smirked.

////Inside the gourd.

Kakashi was leaning on its walls reading his perverted novel.

"How can you read that thing inside Orochimaru's layer?" Gaara, who was sitting cross-legged meditating, asked.

"I don't know, it calms my nerves… besides this is different."

Suddenly they both heard Naruto screaming which startled them a little.

"AHHH! WHAT KIND OF SICK GAME IS THIS?!" They heard.

"You don't like it Naruto-kun? I thought we were friends." They could just imagine the grin of satisfaction on Orochimaru's face.

"You don't want to be friends! You liar! I can't believe I trusted you!! H-hey… what are you doing? D-don't touch meee!!! Nooooo! I don't like this game!!"

Gaara and Kakashi were completely silent. They didn't know what was going on out there and they didn't particularly want to.

"Hey, does this sand have some kind of anti-sound system so that we can block out the screaming?" Kakashi said.

Gaara just looked at him. He sighed.

"Be grateful that we're not the ones in Naruto's position." He said.

Their time in detention was now over. As the door opened two indifferent men walked out, and one who could hardly stand straight. Naruto's facial expression had stayed the same for a while – eyes wide, mouth quivering, completely pale. He was in complete trauma. Behind them however walked a very satisfied Orochimaru.

"Come again! Kakashi and Gaara you shouldn't be so shy next time, Naruto-kun and I had lots of fun" He said.

"F-f-f-fu-fun?! ARGHHH!!" Naruto went running as far as he could whereas Orochimaru laughed an infamous evil dramatic laugh.

/////At the teacher's lounge.

"Y-you g-guys… Y-you just left me... Why?" Naruto wept. "I thought w-w-we were frie… I mean, you know…."

"Friends?" Gaara said.

"DON'T SAY IT LIKE THAT!!!" He screamed.

"Naruto, there is no such thing as friends in Orochimaru's detention room. It's every man for himself." Kakashi said.

"If you had asked, I would have let you in the gourd, if that helps." Gaara reassured.

"I DID ASK!!!"

"Oh?" Gaara raised his brow.

"YESSS ABOUT A MILLION TIMES!!"

"I was probably meditating at that time…"

"Well I'm sorry I didn't choose a more convenient time of being molested for you!! Oh man, I'm scarred for life..."

"Naruto relax will you." Kakashi said.

"Easy for you to say!"

At that time, the door begun to open. They all turned to see who had come; Naruto was backed in a corner praying that it wasn't Orochimaru. They then saw a bunch of the sensei's come in some talking amongst themselves. Sasuke approached Naruto, Gaara and Kakashi. He greeted them, and then noticed that Naruto didn't greet him back – instead he was backed up in the corner whispering to himself.

"What happened to you dope?" he asked in his usual monotone.

"Orochimaru happened." Kakashi explained.

Sasuke looked a little confused. "What?"

"It's a long story, but basically Naruto had a little encounter with the sound shinobi."

Suddenly Sasuke's face turned sympathetic.

"P-poor Naruto… you too?" He said.

Naruto nodded. "It was horrible!" he buried his face in his knees. "I feel so violated!"

Sasuke sat down next to Naruto. Gaara had now left but Kakashi watched curiously.

"There, there." Sasuke said as he patted Naruto's head. "Here, you can cry on my shoulder, I know what it feels like." Sasuke offered.

"I never thought I'd see this day…" Kakashi said.

Sasuke death glared him. "It's strictly because of the circumstances; I still think he's a dope."

"W-who's c-crying…" Naruto said.

"Well I just thought a hug might make you feel better." Sasuke smiled at his questionable best friend.

However, a smile was not returned. In fact it was looks of disgust and fear.

"Hug? HUG!?! I've had enough "hugs" to last me a lifetime. And from YOU?! You… you're contaminated with his germs!! S-stay away from me!!!" Naruto screamed.

Sasuke looked confused. "Okay sorry. You should have treasured this Naruto, don't think I'll ever be nice to you again." He still had some form of sympathy in his voice as he said this.

Sakura had overheard the conversation, actually everyone in the staff knew by now.

"Aw, poor Naruto." She said. "Are you okay?"

"What do you think?!" He said.

"There, there… want a hug?" she offered.

Naruto looked up from his knees. "That would be… nice." He said.

Sasuke's mouth opened slightly. "Oh sure, you accept a hug from her I thought you had enough to last you a life time."

Kakashi begun to laugh. He somehow saw amusement in all of this, possibly because he had got away untouched and with his 'innocence' questionably intact.

Eventually, since there was no inportant meating this time, all the teachers that had finished their daily work had headed home for a well deserved rest. After booking his appointment with the school nurse for a session on curing psychological damage, Naruto too had made his way home. That is to say, he was escorted home by Kakashi and Gaara for compensation since they left him in detention.

And that concluded yet another day at Konoha High.

Haah crappy ending. nyah.

Oh and can I please ask you to not ask to be taught by people like Orochimaru, Tsunade, gatekeepers, Jiraiya etc. Because they dont actually teach anything. Gomen, the names are just so that I dont use "that kid" and the such all the time in the lessons, but the main focus is still on the teachers! Thanks.

And thanks for the reviews, glad people enjoy this story as much as me and my friend do:D
