Chapter 7: Humour & Passion

Naruto and Sakura walked through Konoha. A small breeze gathered, and the wind dances a few leaves on the ground.

"Sakura-chan, I'm really sorry about before. I shouldn't have snapped at you like that."

"Naruto-kun, it's okay. I'm sorry too. So, where are we going?" Sakura replied.

"One of my favorite spots in this place. C'mon, let's hurry." Both quickened their pace, and moved on. Meanwhile, elsewhere, Kiba was gnawing on some fried chicken. Heck, he was hungry. He finished the leg, and licked his fingers clean.

"Maybe, I had a bit much. Oh well." He saw someone sitting on a bench ahead. "Is that Hinata?" He walked closer, and he was right.

"Hey, Hinata!" He called out.

Hinata looked up. "Oh, hi, Kiba-kun." Kiba sat down next to her. "You okay?"

"Yeah, it's just Naruto-kun. He bought me some ramen, but then he looked really upset and walked off."

"Did he say what's wrong?"

"No." Hinata said sadly. "He just looked so unhappy. What if he doesn't like me?" A small tear ran down her cheek. Kiba wrapped his arm around her.

"That's not true. I talked to him earlier, and he says 'You're nice, cute, and a great person to be with'."

Hinata smiled faintly. "Really? But I've seen that he likes Sakura more..."

Kiba nodded. "Yeah, but he says if he went out with both of you, he wouldn't feel good about himself. He does care for you, but only as a friend."

She layed her head on Kiba's lap. "I understand how he feels." She started to cry a little. "But...I loved him..."

The Inuzuka ran his fingers through her hair. "It's alright. You've still got me."

"Huh? Kiba-kun?"

Kiba turned red slightly. "I do love you Hinata. You're a great person." Hinata sat up, and wrapped her arms around Kiba's neck. "Thank you, Kiba-kun. I love you too." Both of them leaned in close, and kissed one another. Kiba smiled.

"Hinata-chan, you wanna take a walk with me?" He suggested.

"Okay, Kiba-kun. Where to?"

"How about getting some ice-cream? I'll buy."

Hinata hugged him. "Thanks, Kiba-kun. Let's go." Both of them started to walk through the street.

At a restaurant, Gai-sensei was eating some sushi. "What can I do to make myself youthful again?" He said to himself. "Maybe it's the clothes. No one dresses like me these days, except for my beloved Lee!" He took another huge bite of fish. "And my hair?!" He pulled out his pocket mirror, and looked at his hair. That bowl-shaped haircut was just not looking good. He thought the same about his bushy eyebrows. "I just have to change my look! Then, I will be youthful again! But what would Lee think??"

Possible Thought

"Gai-sensei! You are hipper then before!" Lee said with a smile

"Or what if he thinks..."

"Gai-sensei! What have you done to yourself? What happened? You're not the sensei I loved and respected!" Lee said crying

He clenched his fist. "It's a risk, but all good men take risks! I have to become youthful and hip again!" He quickly finished his fish, and left some cash on the table. And a tip also.

"Now, it's time to initiate Operation: Youth!" Gai quickly rushed off down to a clothes store. He walked up to the clerk at the counter.

"Excuse me, my good man! I need a new look, what would you suggest?"

The man laughed. "Anything but that jumpsuit! Follow me, and take off your jacket.." Gai followed the man through to the back.

"What are you looking for?"

"Something hip and youthful!" He said posing with his teeth shining.

"Jesus, how did you get your teeth so shiny? A waxing shop? Anyway, I left some outfits in the changing rooms. Try each one on." Gai went in, and changed. Few minutes later, he came out wearing jeans, and black shirt with the collar up.

"No sir, that is definatly not you. Try something else."

Another few minutes, he came out wearing basketball jersey and shorts.

"Nah uh." The man said shaking his head.

Another few minutes, this time wearing hoodie, baggy pants, and several gold chains around his neck.

"You look like a chav. Seriously, lose that!"

Another few minutes, and now wearing a black leather jacket, white undershirt, black pants, and an American flag bandanna on his head.

"Lose the bandanna."

Gai took off the bandanna.

"Perfecto! The ladies love a man in a leather jacket! Excellent! You can keep the bandanna, just wear it around your arm or waist."

"Yes! Let the youthfulness burn inside of me!" Gai shouted

"Ookaaay. Sir, that will be a total of 25,000 Yen please."

Gai's jaw dropped. "25,000????????!!!!!!"

"Sir, you want to go back looking like a total fool?"

Gai sighed, and gave the man his credit card. The man ran it through, and gave it back. "Excellent. Hope you enjoy yourself, sir."

"Thank you! I can feel the youthfulness already! A thousand thank you's my dear man!" Gai rushed out the shop, going to show off his new look.

Back in the Grand Hall, everything had almost finished. Now, the food was the only thing that needed to be there.

"Well, girls, we've out done ourselves! And with time to spare!" Anko remarked.

"Looking great." Kurenai said. "Now, we just got to wait for the food, and we can set that out."

Ino had finished the last bouqet, and sat down on the floor. "Shika-kun, it looks wondeful, doesn't it?"

Shikamaru nodded. "You've out done yourself."

"One more thing, I want to say."

"Hm?"

Ino picked a rose fom the bouqet. "Will, you go with me to the dance tomorrow?"

Shikamaru smiled. "Of course. Why wouldn't I?" Both of them hugged one another.

"Thanks, Shika-kun! You're the best!" She kissed him on the cheek.

Tenten grabbed her jacket. "I'm leaving now. I'm gonna see if I can find Neji. Is that alright with you two?"

Kurenai smiled. "Sure. Me and Anko will clear up here. See ya later." Tenten left the building to go find Neji. Kakashi walked in as Tenten left. He almost dropped his book, as he saw how amazing the place looked.

"Woah! Did I die and go to heaven?" He asked with his jaw dropped.

"Nope, you're still here reading the damn book." Anko joked.

"Well, you did a great job here." Anko and Kurenai looked at one another. Bingo! A date for tomorrow! Both thought.

"Hey, Kakashi..."

"Yeah?"

"Me and Kurenai were wondering...do you have anyone for tomorrow?"

Kakashi flipped a page. "Nope. Not yet, why?"

"Well..." Kurenai blushed. "Do you want to go with me?"

"You mean me!" Anko said trying to shove her out the way.

"No me!" Kurenai grabbed Anko's wrist and tried to flip her over, but failed. Anko decked Kurenai to the floor, and grabbed Ankos ankles and took her down also.

Great...I got grown women fighting over me..."Look, ladies. If it makes you feel better, I'll go with both of you."

"You pimp!" Both shouted.

"That sounds good...Hatake "The Pimp" Kakashi...nice ring to it...I gotta get a suit also..."

"You aren't!"

"You bet I am. I'll take you both, and we'll have loads of fun. I mean, it is a party for goodness sakes!"

Both kunoichi sighed. "Fine, it's settled." Kurenai muttered.

"Good. Now I have to get my suit. Later." Kakashi left the place in a blink of an eye.

At that same time, Naruto had taken Sakura to his favorite spot in the village. It was on top of the Hokage Monument, over looking the entire village.

"What do you think Sakura-chan? Nice, huh?"

Sakura nodded. "Everything looks so beautiful from here."

"Uh huh. I come here often to watch the sunset after when we finish our missions for the day. I was gonna invite you a few times when we were young, but you turned me down for it.

Sakura frowned. "Oh, I'm sorry, Naruto-kun. You should've said something"

"I wanted to surprise you. You mean the world to me. I don't want anyone else but you." Naruto replied. Sakura was taken by his words. Both moved closer to one another, and kissed one another passionatly. Naruto embraced Sakura in his arms, and started to playfully twirl the strands of her hair. The kiss was long and deep. The passion burning like fire. The warmth slowing pulsing through their bodies. Both were in eternal bliss.

"Naruto..." Sakura asked breaking the kiss.

"Hm?"

"I want to stay here for awhile, please."

"Okay, Sakura-chan." The kunoichi closed her eyes softly, and went to sleep in Naruto's lap. An hour or so past, and the sky was now turning slightly orange. The clouds were disappearing, while the sun began to slowly set. It was around 5pm or so. A small wind started to pick up, and slowly dance it's way through the village. Naruto stared at Sakura in his lap. She was beautiful in his eyes. The most perfect girl he could ask for. She slowly awoke, and stared at the blonde in a perculiar gaze. He has such a good, kind heart...

"Naruto-kun...what time is it?" She sat up.

"Around fivish. Good nap, Sakura-chan?" He asked happily

"Yeah. Shall we go get dinner?" She suggested.

"Okay, then."

As for Kiba and Hinata, after ice cream, both went to see a movie, and had the time of their lives.

"Thanks, Kiba-kun. We should do this again." Hinata said

"Yeah, we should. I gotta get going. I'll see ya tomorrow okay?" Kiba asked

"Okay. I got to get back finishing all the food for the party. You'll be my date right?"

"Of course." Both kissed each other.

"G'night, Hinata-chan."

"Night, Kiba-kun."

Neji was at his home, learning a few lyrics for his and Lee's songs tomorrow. "Okay. Plan is we start off with a hot one, then we move onto a classic or two for the old people, then launch our big number at the end. Good. I hope Lee doesn't choke before the show." He layed down the book of lyrics, and drunk some water.

Kakashi went to get his pimp suit from the clothing store, and he just happened to see Gai surrounded by a load of women.

"Gai?" Kakashi said shocked.

Gai cleared his throat. "My Name Is A Pimp Named Gai. And I believe you're standing in my way."

"No, I'm the pimp here. Hatake "The Pimp" Kakashi!"

"Yeah, then where's your suit?"

"Where's your brain, Gai?"

"That's A Pimp Named Gai. Now if you don't mind, I gotta be going. Later, eternal rival of mine."

Kakashi was furious. "You will not win this battle! I am the ULTIMATE pimp!" He collected his suit, and went home to plot.

Later on, Naruto and Sakura ate Ichiraku's again. Naruto apologised to Teuchi for what happened, but he said to forget about it. Both enjoyed their meals, and left afterwards.

"I'm going home now, Sakura-chan."

"Okay, night, Naruto-kun." Both kissed and went their seperate ways to home.

It took me five hours to write this. I was so stuck for ideas. And I'm sorry again that we're still not at the party! Next Chapter, 100 sure that we will be at the party!

Oh, if any of you watch The Boondocks, you should know about that "A Pimp Named..." speech.

Please keep reviewing!
