AN: I do not own Naruto or any of its characters, only my OC's…wait I don't have any OC's, they're all my co-authors *sigh*. Naruto belongs to Masashi Kishimoto. And I know, I didn't get a surprise in as I said I might in last chapter, but I didn't get the chance to, maybe this time, we can try again. I'll try and update regularly, other than through July 1-6, as remember its vacation time, and after I may be working, as I just got a job.

Masked Affections

A Naruto FanFiction

Chapter 6: Hide and Seek

"Shall we face them?" Sakura hits her fist into her other hand and Naruto moves a little away from her.

"There are only three." Hinata gets into a battle stance and Kakashi pulls out a kunai.

"This is definitely a real mission." Naruto tightens his headband.

Shurikens come flying out and Naruto jumps back out of the way. "They're twelve feet ahead of us, at two o'clock!" Hinata shouts. Naruto nods, and even though Kakashi shouts after him, he rushes forward, charging Rasengan.

He misses as the rogue ninja jumps out of the way and turns to clip him with a kunai, but Hinata knocks it out of his hand, and using precise aim, disables the chakra network in his arm, at least for a little. Naruto jumps back and makes five shadow clones of himself, and charges forward to save Hinata this time.

She struggles with the rogue ninja, and another jumps out in her weakness, only to be hit in the back by one of Naruto's punches. As another rogue ninja moves forward, Kakashi throws his shuriken, grabbing his attention and from behind Sakura hits him with a knock-out punch, throwing him into the ground. The last ninja, still with Hinata, breaks free and swipes his kunai out, drawing blood from Hinata's shoulders, but she only winces for a moment before using Eight Trigrams, Thirty-two palms, and effectively immobilizing the ninja. Kakashi just steps forward, and with a quick knock to the head, he's out cold.

"Good work everyone." Kakashi praises them.

"Do you want me to heal your wound Hinata?" Sakura asks.

"I'll be fine, it's just a scratch." Hinata assures her.

"So what do we do with them Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto questions him.

"I'll get some ninja to take them in." Kakashi answers, tying the rogue ninja up.

"So where is the cat?" Sakura says, looking around.

Hinata wonders over to a nearby hole and picks it up, "Here it is." She grins. "Meooow."

"Now we can take it back!" Naruto exclaims, and Sakura sighs as they all head back.

"What's with her?" Naruto looks at Sakura, who doesn't say anything and Hinata shrugs back in reply. As soon as they return, Kakashi sends other Chunin out to round up the rogue ninjas, and they get a message they have to report to a home, and watch two kids.

"Why do we have to watch kids?" Naruto complains.

"It…It…might be fun Naruto-kun." Hinata reassures him.

"Well it shouldn't be too difficult, I watch you all the time." Sakura grins, and Naruto glares at her, and she glares back.

"Alright, that's enough you too." Kakashi scratches the back of his head and they look away from each other. "I guess we should get going." They soon arrive at the house, and the parents both look happy to see the four ninja.

"We'll be back early morning tomorrow, there's food in the fridge and if anything happens just send us a message and we'll be back as soon as we can." The mother says, looking mildly worried, and both parents turn and leave, and as the door closes, two blonde angels stroll out.

They both smile cunningly, "So you four are supposed to watch us?"

"Yah we're supposed to watch you, not that I want to." Naruto scoffs.

"Be quiet Naruto!" Sakura spits at him and whacks him over his head.

"Ow." He complains.

"You're mean, I don't like you." The one on the left, a boy, narrows his eyes at the two of them.

"Well deal with it brat." Naruto replies and the boy kicks him. "Ow, you little!"

"Naruto that's enough. I won't have that kind of behavior from either of you. Now then, is there anything you two would like to do, maybe a game or something?"

"A game…we like games." The girl smiles.

"I know just the one." The boy smiles, but his has a mischievous edge.

"And what is that?" Kakashi asks.

"Hide and seek." He answers, "But one of you guys has to be it." He grabs his sister, and with her giggling, run off and hide.

"Not it!"Naruto laughs, and runs off, and Hinata runs off, smiling a little.

Sakura turns to Kakashi, "So me or you?"

"Bye." Kakashi says with a wave and a crinkling of his eyes and he was gone.

Sakura grumbles and begins her search. Hinata had gone to hide in a closet, only to be caught in a trap, and is hanging upside down by her ankles, and now she's just keeping her shirt from falling down. Sakura soon opens the door, "Hinata, are you all right?"

"I'm fine…" She sighs, "Could you get me down through, my head is pounding."

Sakura does get her down, "Thanks, though I guess I'm it next huh?" She smiles.

"Well I haven't found the others yet, so I need some help." Sakura says, and a crash is heard from the kitchen.

"What was that?" Hinata asks, mildly startled.

"I don't know, let's check it out." Sakura wonders to the kitchen, and Naruto's in there, attached to a ceiling fan, with pans underneath him, constantly hitting him.

"I'll get him down, you go find the others." Hinata offers.

"Okay, thanks Hinata." Sakura wonders off, and Hinata turns to Naruto.

"I'll g…g…get you down N…Naruto-kun." She moves the pans, so they don't hit him.

"Thanks Hinata."

"Y…your welcome Naruto-kun." Hinata says, beginning to help him down, but Naruto's much to heavy for her, and her grip slips.

Kakashi meanwhile, is watching from a distance, seeing the two twins set up traps, communicating without words, and he notes them, and avoids them. But Sakura doesn't, as she goes looking for him, she runs into a trap; it tangles her up like a spider web, and she hangs from the ceiling, and she just sighs.

Kakashi notices and moves forward to help her as she wiggles, trying to get out. What he doesn't notice is a second trap, close by, so close to the other, that he didn't note it before.

His foot moves forward, and at the same time in the kitchen, Naruto falls atop Hinata, and their lips touch.

AN: Yay, a fight scene, finally some action. I normally don't do fight scenes, normally I skip them and just say it happened, so how did I do? And did the Jutsus sound alright? I even managed some fun and some romance…well kinda. Also, sorry for the lame name, but it seemed fitting for the chapter.

AN: Will Kakashi fall for the trap, or manage to dodge it just in time? Will Naruto freak out? Will they just kiss? Or will Hinata faint in the heat of the moment? And why in the world are there traps in the first place? What will happen next? Stay tuned for the next installment of Masked Affections!
