Chapter 3: Getting Acquainted

Naruto struggled to try and fix the door unsure of what to do he lifted it up and struggled to keep it up but it didn't want to stay and fell apart one side started to fall and he put out his leg to catch it then the other side started to fall and he reached further. "It's going to fall," Shino's voice said.

Naruto jumped and the door fell on him and he ripped through it. "Graceful," Sasuke put in sarcastically.

"Shut up!" Naruto snapped turning to them he froze catching sight of what they were wearing.

Shino wore a green long shirt with red lining and red ribbons tying it and wore white pants. Sasuke wore the same type of shirt only it was dark blue with red ribbon ties and he wore white pants. Standing with them was the boy who had the purple eyes. Naruto snickered his eyes misgeviously narrowed and a smirk on his face that he hid with his hand. Sasuke glared at him like he was going to kill him. Shino didn't look like he was very comfortable either it wasn't either of their styles.

Kyo came down angrily and an agitated Kiba followed wearing a black tee-shirt and the same type of Kaki pants as Kyo. "Don't destroy it alright," Kyo snapped angrily.

"I won't," Kiba snapped just as sharply, "though I don't know why you would care."

"Are you saying something about the way I dress?" Kyo demanded angrily turning putting his face in Kiba's.

Kiba stared him down his a snarl on his lips. "It's very plain," Kiba growled, "and boring like everything else I've seen of this world."

"You're just asking for a fight!" Kyo yelled angrily.

"No more fighting in the house take it outside," Shigure said emerging from a room.

Kakashi came up behind him wearing a black suit, still wearing his mask. Naruto laughed slightly. "You look funny," Kiba told him.

"I could be wearing a robe like Shigure here," Kakashi sighed, "however I don't think that would make me fit in any better."

"Yeah I don't think the suit is the problem," Kyo said plainly.

"Where are the girls?" Shino asked.

They all looked at him. "They are girls they take longer to get ready," Shigure said poetically. "It takes time to get their beauty to unfold…"

"This is a first time that Kakashi sensei is gathered with us before Sakura-Chan!" Naruto interrupted and Shigure looked downtrodden at being interupted.

"What happened to the door?" Kakashi asked looking over at Naruto.

Naruto looked down at the door he was still standing in the middle of. "Um…" he started.

"He dropped it," Sasuke reported plainly.

"You're fixing it," Shigure sung with a smile.

"I WAS TRYING TO!!!" Naruto exclaimed.

"HEY!" Sakura yelled, "You're a klutz you have to take care of your messes!"

They looked up to see Sakura and Tohru standing at the top of the stairs. Naruto stared at Sakura she was wearing a pink skirt and matching sweater. "Sakura…" Naruto started kindly.

"Sasuke-kun!" she exclaimed happily spotting Sasuke in Yuki's clothes she was blushing happily heading down the stairs to him.

Naruto looked down trodden and Sasuke didn't look at her. "Here let me help out with the door," Tohru said coming down the stairs and for the first time Hinata came into view from behind Tohru where she'd been hiding.

Her face was bright red and she wore a dark blue pleated skirt and cream colored sweatshirt. Kiba stared at Hinata blushing slightly. Hinata headed down the stairs following Tohru. Kiba moved out of their way speechless. "Don't worry about it Tohru," Kyo said, "I'm sure he can do it by himself."

"It's alright," Tohru said with a smile, "they did all rush in to save us. I owe them."

"Thanks," Naruto said sheepishly.

"There's a lot we've got to fix," Shigure sighed.

"We'll stay and help out where we can," Kakashi informed him.

They took off taking care of fixing different parts of the house. Naruto was standing holding up a beam while reaching for a nail the hammer in his mouth. "Here," a small voice said and Hinata handed him the nails.

"Thanks," he replied his mouth full and for the first time looked at Hinata. "Wow Hinata you look really good in that," he told her taking the hammer out of his mouth then turning back to his work.

Hinata didn't move shocked her face glowing red. Naruto didn't notice too buisy working. There was a small creek and the ladder Tohru was on fell the leg broken. Yuki and Kyo looked ready to run and catch her but Sasuke was there first and caught her. She looked at him and blushed. "Thank you I'm sorry for the trouble," she started embarrassed.

"Whatever," he replied putting her down then heading back to work after giving a swift look at Kyo and Yuki a suspicious look on his face.

That night Kakashi, Shino, Kiba, Sasuke and Naruto slept in the living room while the girls slept in Tohru's room. "Something is weird about them I can't stand it," Kiba snarled.

"Now's not the time be happy you have a place to sleep that isn't the forest floor," Kakashi reminded him.

"Strange though either one of the boys could have caught that girl but I had to," Sasuke reported.

"What are you talking about?" Naruto asked.

"Earlier when the ladder broke and the girl fell both boys were fast enough and close enough to catch her but they both hesitated before acting," Sasuke pointed out.

"They're afraid of getting to close to another person or at least girls," Kakashi sighed, "I thought it was obvious the way they were so worried when Kyo nearly ran into Hinata."

"You mean how both Shigure and Kyo were so worried and shocked?" Shino asked.

"And the clothes that you found when we arrived they smelt like they belong to the rat," Kiba reported.

"It's late and we all have a big day ahead of us we should follow Naruto's lead and get some sleep," Kakashi told them.

The other boys all looked over to see Naruto fast asleep drooling on his pillow. "Sure didn't take him long," Sasuke snarled smugly.

Tohru came in the kitchen and to her surprise she saw the silver eyed girl already there making some tea. "I'm sorry for the intrusion I just wanted to help out a little I'll leave if you want me too," Hinata stuttered her face going red her voice quiet playing with her fingers.

"Oh no it's alright I'm surprised you're already up," Tohru sighed happily. "Let's make breakfast together."

Hinata smiled shyly and they set to work. Then into the kitchen came the boy with his dog. "Good morning," Tohru greeted cheerfully.

He looked at her surprised it seemed then answered, "Good morning."

"Good morning Kiba," Hinata greeted quietly.

"Good morning," Kiba replied. "I'm not used to people being around when I get up."

"Well we've got a lot of people to feed today so I thought I'd get started early," Tohru cheered happily.

"Shino, Kakashi, and Sasuke are gone already. Naruto is still asleep though," Kiba reported.

"Gone?" Tohru asked shocked.

"Don't worry they'll come back if their hungry."

"But they need to eat," Tohru fretted.

"Don't worry they'll be alright," Hinata reassured her, "they know what to do."

"Can I have some milk for Akamaru?" Kiba asked.

"Yes," Tohru replied but her hands were full so Kiba got out the milk and a bowl for the pup.

Kyo came into the kitchen. "What are you doing?" Kyo asked looking at the puppy drinking the milk.

"There's plenty of milk left if you want some," Kiba informed him handing over the carton.

Kyo took it angrily. "It's my fault I said he could have some," Tohru defended him worriedly.

"It's fine," Kyo snapped his temple pulsing all the same. "I'm just tired of seeing you guys everywhere I couldn't even train in peace."

"Your morning training?" Tohru asked.

"Yeah there was that dark haired smug kid," Kyo snarled.

Into the kitchen came the blonde haired boy with a large yawn. "Where is everybody?" he asked.

"Already out and about," Kiba informed him, "I've already had my workout for the morning I was surprised to see you still asleep when I got back."

Naruto looked at him angrily. "I was tired but I'm alright now and I'm not going to let you surpass me."

"Well everyone seems to be up and about this morning," Shigure greeted happily entering.

"Breakfast is almost ready," Tohru informed him as Sakura came in.

"Let me help," Sakura put in hurriedly and took some things to put on the table.

She had her arms full and headed into the dining room and Yuki entered the kitchen half asleep and nearly ran into Sakura. Shigure grabbed him by the shoulder to prevent collision at the last second and led him into the kitchen. "You don't want to be doing that," Shigure said cheerfully with his smile.

"What's wrong with him?" Naruto asked.

"Sohma-kun isn't much of a morning person," Tohru replied happily.

They sat at the table Sasuke and Shino returned to eat however Kakashi still wasn't back. "Is Kakashi-sensei just being late as always?" Sakura asked.

"He's already in town," Sasuke informed her.

"He hasn't eaten anything though," Tohru gasped.

"He probably has but we haven't seen him he doesn't want anyone to see his face," Sasuke continued.

"Why is that?" Kyo asked, "Is he hiding his hideous face?"

"I'm sure that's not the reason," Tohru defended kindly.

"I wonder what he looks like without the mask," Shigure pondered thoughtfully.

"We don't even know and we're his team," Naruto snarled glumly.

"But for what reason would he hide his face?" Yuki asked.

"In our world ninja are the supreme power and are constantly fighting enemies, Kakashi-sensei is a great ninja well known and feared. He might be hiding his face from his enemies," Shino told them, "or from potential enemies."

"But there's nothing to fear here," Yuki pointed out, "we don't have ninja and there are no enemies."

"I'm not going to change because I'm here," Kiba informed them sharply. "I don't think any of us are going to let our guard down."

There was a slightly awkward silence following that statement. "It's about time for school now," Yuki said breaking the silence and getting up.

Tohru and Kyo got up as well. "School I'm glad I don't have to go," Naruto laughed putting his arms up behind his head haughtily.

"You will soon enough," Shigure reminded him.

Naruto fell over in shock. "What??" he demanded.

"Don't you pay any attention?" Sakura exclaimed.

"I don't like going back to school either," Kiba snarled with a scowl.

"I don't see any point to it," Sasuke put in.

"Oh but you need to go to school," Tohru told them hurriedly.

"As long as you don't come to our school I don't care," Kyo announced.

"They are going to your school to ensure those men don't try and get you at school," Shigure told him.

"It's a mission we don't get paid for," Sasuke grumbled smugly.

Tohru headed down the hall at school. She held her books to her chest. How were those ninja going to fit in? What was their leader going to do for a job would they be alright at home? "You sure seem distracted," Arisa stated.

Tohru jumped slightly. "There's just a lot going on," she stated shyly.

"Your wave is troubled," Hanajima stated.

"I'm just worried about some new people I've met," she stated.

"More of the Sohma family?" Arisa asked.

"No," Tohru stated, "It's just some people I ran into not long ago and they didn't have much and nowhere to go I just feel bad."

"You can't help everyone I'm sure they're just fine," Arisa stated and with that they continued.

I wonder if their sensei had any luck today Tohru thought as she followed her friends.
