Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, BLAH
Hinata opened the door to the childcare centre she had to volunteer at. It was a Saturday afternoon and she was slightly scared as to whom and what she may be meeting with. For a glimpse moment she hoped a certain blonde would be there but then she immediately killed the thought. There was a one in a hundred chance and Hinata wasn't lucky. The front office of the centre was cool. That was the only word that came to mind, not cool as in 'OMG twilight is SOO cool'; it was a fresh, icy cool. The walls were mint green and the furniture was white. Hinata walked to the receptionist and watched as the neat and smart lady tapped away at her computer. Hinata examined the lady's manicured nails and vaguely wondered if the receptionist was actually typing anything of use. Probably playing Tetris. Finally the lady looked up.
"Can I help you?"
"Um, yes, I'm here from Konoha girls and-
"Room 12"
"Pardon?" Hinata blinked.
"Down the hall to the left, room 12," and with that the lady began to tap on the keyboards again.
Hinata sighed, the day didn't seem to be turning out that great. Hinata reached her assigned room and slowly opened the door to reveal thirteen other students sitting around the table. Hinata walked over to them and sat down, she quickly scanned the faces and was disappointed. He wasn't there. Hinata fiddled with her jacket, no one in the group was talking it was sort of awkward. Hinata looked up and right across from her was a boy sporting a leather jacket with spiky brown hair and red tattoos on his cheek. He smiled, revealing sharp canine teeth. Hinata blushed and turned her head away. She couldn't deal with this stress, Hinata hoped that one day she would just wake up and miraculously be cured of her fear if boys. Maybe if she found all seven dragon balls…
"I'm Kiba, what's your name?"
Hinata whipped her head back up to face the boy with the leather jacket.
"I'm.."
"Hinata!" A loud voice called from the door.
Every eye turned to see a sunny blonde stride in. Hinata couldn't help but smile as Naruto sat down next to her.
"So how's it been? Ready to do some childcare?" Naruto beamed.
"Ahem…"
Naruto and Hinata looked up to see Kiba scowling.
"What's up with you Kiba?"
"You tell me Uzumaki."
Hinata started to feel nervous, she had never seen two boys fight before but she had a funny feeling that Kiba and Naruto where about to lunge at each other.
"Hey students!"
Hinata sighed in relief as Anko, the teacher, came in and she watched as Kiba and Naruto relaxed from their ready-to-pounce state.
"Now class we're going to go around in a circle saying our names so we can get to know each other," the Anko said, "And I'll start. I'm Anko and now let's go around, starting with the blonde kid."
Naruto said his name and so it went until Kiba. Anko then beckoned for them to follow her and she took them to a huge room filled with children ranging from ages 3-7.
"This is where most of you will be assigned for these coming weeks. Of course there are other less strenuous activities you will be doing as well. Now before I divide you up, anyone here bad with children?" Anko asked.
Many people put up their hand; Anko frowned and chewed on her pencil.
"Wow, that's no good. So many? Oh well, everyone with their hand up can go then."
The students looked at each other, they couldn't believe their luck. It was so easy to get out of they almost laughed. As the class started to turn towards the door they were stopped by Anko's loud voice.
"HA! Got you there. Everyone in this room will complete twenty-four hours of childcare service no matter what so if you're bad with children…get over it," Anko grinned evilly, "Now! For the groups!"
Hinata chopped the banana up quickly and threw it into the bowl so that it could join the rest of the fruit. There were five groups of three and Hinata just so happened to have been standing next to Naruto and Kiba. This landed her in the situation she was now in. Naruto and Kiba were furiously chopping the fruit and Hinata watched fearfully as the fruit began to run out. Who knew what they would cut next. Sure enough Naruto grabbed a nearby children's book and started to hack away, Kiba quickly turned his knife to the fridge calender and soon bits and pieces of miscellaneous items were flying everywhere.
"Getting tired Uzumaki?" Kiba asked as casually as he could while cutting open a milk carton.
"I'm just getting started."
Hinata desperately tried to protect the fruit bowl but it wasn't easy as pieces of rubber, wood and milk flew at her.
"Hey kidos how is it-
The teenaged boys stopped their competition and turned to face a very bewildered Anko. Wait, bewildered isn't the right word, she was more…pissed.
"What the hell is this?" Anko shouted.
At that point Naruto and Kiba decided it was a good time to drop their large kitchen knives.
"Well!"
…
"Hinata! What have you been doing here?" Anko cornered the poor girl.
"W-w-
"Anko, it wasn't Hinata…Naruto and I just got a little carried away. That's all."
"THAT'S ALL? YOU TRASHED THE WHOLE ROOM!" Anko paused to take some deep breaths, "You three, follow me."
Hinata released her grip on the large fruit bowl and reluctantly followed her P.E teacher. She had no idea of what was going to happen, she had never been in trouble before…ever! Anko opened up an empty office room, the three guilty looking teens filed in.
"First, tell me. Why?" Anko managed to spit out the words through gritted teeth.
Naruto and Kiba looked at the floor so the question fell to Hinata.
"I-I was cutting fruit and then th-they b-b-began to challenge each other and they cut up fruit then they cut up-
"Everything else?" Anko provided.
Hinata nodded.
"Okay Hinata, I think you were apart of it. All of you were, so you will be punished for your senseless behaviour."
Hinata nodded, she just hoped she wouldn't be given a harsh punishment.
"All three of you will stay afterschool here and be the new janitors."
"FOR HOW LONG?" Kiba shouted in disbelief.
"How ever long it takes for you three to straighten up, now you can go home. I'll see you on Monday."
The three quietly left and gathered their belongings.
"Well that went well," Naruto murmured.
"Shutup!" Kiba pulled on his leather jacket.
"How 'bout you. If it wasn't for your stupid idea I wouldn't be in this mess," Naruto complained.
"Dude, I hate you."
"I'm not too fond of you either mate," Naruto growled.
Despite their apparent hatred for each other the two teens kept on walking together as they left the childcare centre. Hinata meekly followed behind them. She didn't want to get caught in another crossfire.
"I guess I'll see you on Monday then," Kiba grimaced as he jumped onto his motorbike.
Hinata waved as he revved away. She vaguely wondered if it was legal for someone of his age to ride a motorbike. Oh well. Hinata snuck a glance at Naruto, the blonde seemed lost in thought but then he seemed to remember something.
"Oh Hinata, you're still here?"
Hinata felt like falling over, he had forgotten all about her! Hinata wished she wasn't so quiet, people seldom remembered her.
"Yeah, I'm still here."
"Sorry about what happened. That Kiba…We just don't get along," Naruto smiled.
Hinata nodded, she kind of gathered that piece of information.
"So how you getting home?" Naruto's sunny face seemed to light up again once the loud Kiba had disappeared.
"Bus."
Naruto nodded, "Naw, I'm getting the train. Wha-
At that moment a bus pulled up, muffling the rest of Naruto's question.
"Sorry, that's my bus," Hinata whispered, her small voice drowned by the bus's engine.
Hinata hopped onto the bus and sat down with her ticket clenched in her hand. She couldn't wait to go home so she could relax and not scramble for every scrap of courage she had. Hinata glanced out the window and couldn't help but smile as she saw Naruto waving vigorously at her. Hinata waved back and then the bus pulled away, leaving Naruto at the pavement. Hinata couldn't pull her eyes away from him, they continued to keep eye contact until the bus turned a corner…blocking the blonde from her view.
