Konoha High: The Revised Version
Hey everyone Kai here. So here it is the next chapter to Konoha High. Thanks to everyone who is still waiting for this next installment to my story and like I said in the last chapter I am sorry for my prolonged absence.
Chapter 2: The Sleepover
School started off well for Kai and Kakashi. They became good friends with Naruto, Gaara, Sakura and Hinata. Kai developed a crush on Gaara, though no one knew of it, and everyone thought Sakura had a crush on Kakashi but she was still hurt by Sasuke's leaving and breaking her heart so she didn't tell anyone about it. Kai joined the cheerleading squad along with Sakura, and Kakashi practiced every once and awhile with the football team. Things were looking up for the twins.
Then one morning about a month after school had started Kai woke up screaming. She had had that dream again. The dream of the night her parents died in that horrible crash. Kai is crying when Kakashi comes into her room. He sits next to her and holds her 'til she is done and she hugs him back.
"Thank you Kakashi. I don't know what's wrong with me. I just remember how momma and I fought that night because she wouldn't let me go to Haru's party. It's funny how our priorities change after something like this." Kai says as she gets up to make sure her eyes aren't too puffy looking.
"I know what you mean I miss them too, but just think if you hadn't had fought with mom and she hadn't had asked me to stay with you I would have been in that car and you wouldn't have me…"
Kai looked at her twin. What he had said was true. He was supposed to go to the store with their parents to help pick out her birthday present but her mother had asked him to stay with her so she would not sneak out.
Kai and Kakashi finally looked at the alarm clock on Kai's bedside table. It said the time was 5:45 A.M. which meant they would have to start getting ready for school soon so Kai gave her brother a quick hug and ran to the bathroom to do her makeup and fix her hair while Kakashi went to his room to put gel in his hair.
At about 6:30 both of the twins were ready and eating breakfast when Tsunade finally woke up.
"Wow you two are pretty independent aren't ya'll." She said amused on how much they had grown since she had last seen them when they were younger and even now since they have come to live with her. "I shouldn't have any outburst like yesterday so I'll give ya'll a ride."
"Thanks Tsunade," Kai said as she put hers and Kakashi's bowls in the sink and ran water into them. She liked living with Tsunade and the freedom her and Kakashi they were given.
At school Naruto, Sakura, Gaara, and Hinata were in the cafeteria talking about what they were going to do this weekend when Kai and Kakashi walked over to their table. "Hey guys what's up?" Kai said.
"Nothing really just trying to figure out what to do this weekend," Naruto answered motioning for the twins to take a seat. "Hey you two should come and join us on whatever we decide to do."
"Yea that sounds like fun." Kai answered, "Doesn't it Kakashi?"
"Yea, sure," Kakashi said. "You guys have any ideas?"
"Yea it's either we go to the beach or just hang around town." Sakura said.
"Kay. Well the beach sounds fun and we probably only got like 2 or 3 more weeks of good weather so how 'bout the beach." Kai suggested.
"Exactly what I was telling them," Sakura said.
"So it's agreed, we'll take a vote: Anyone who wants to go to the beach raise your hand," Naruto announced. Sakura, Hinata, Kai and Kakashi (well after being kicked really hard by Kai) all raised their hands. "Well looks like we're going to the beach."
Sakura then turned to Kai and said, "We will need to leave real early to beat the traffic so how bout you come over and stay the night at my house with Hinata."
"Yea sounds fun. When should I come over?" Kai replied happily.
"Hinata and I will walk to your place and when you get your stuff and then we'll go to my place." Sakura told her.
"Sounds good," Kai said. She liked to have time just her and the girls. She loved her brother but he was a guy and didn't get things like crushes and other girl stuff that girls talk about.
That night at Sakura's after her parent had when out for the night and they had finished with the pizza they had ordered; they were talking about the guys at school and who they thought was cute.
"How 'bout the quarterback, what's his name again… Joey I think." Kai said thinking about last Friday's game when he had asked her out. "He's eyes are just too blue to be true."
"Yea he is cute but real dull and all he talks about is football or some other sport," Sakura told her laughing at her experience last year on a date with Joey. "But let me tell you he is one good kisser." They all then started to laugh and didn't stop until their sides hurt."
"So Kai is there anyone at school you particularly like," Hinata asked.
"Well there is one boy but I don't know he is kind of quiet but he is real cute and real sweet."
"Really who is he?" Sakura asked curious on who this boy may be. "Do we know him?"
"Yea, I guess." Kai replied not really wanting to tell them it was Gaara but kind of wanted to tell someone.
"Well, tell us who he is, maybe we can hook you two up"
"Well, it is…" Kai started to tell them, "It's Gaara." She finally says after her face turned red from embarrassment.
"Really?" Hinata asked, Naruto had hinted to her that Gaara thought Kai was cute. "Well you should talk to him. He hasn't been with anyone since he broke up with that girl from Suna."
"Yea," Sakura said thinking about how messed up Gaara was after he broke up with Matsuri. "I think you two would make a cute couple."
"Yea he is a pretty cool guy." Hinata added then with a small joking laugh, "Now all we gotta do is get Sakura with Kakashi and then the whole group will be with someone else on the group just like old times."
"If only the rest of them didn't go to Suna for the year." Sakura said reflecting on how they use to do things like this before they had left.
"So Sakura what's your story, you aren't with anyone I mean, if you don't mind me asking." Kai asked.
"No, I don't mind. Well, Sasuke and I were together from to 7th grade all the way to the beginning of last year when he got mixed in with that Sound crap." Sakura answered, "Anyways the past is the past."
Hinata then to change the subject asked Kai, "So have you ever had any other boyfriends?"
"Yea," Kai answered. "I only ever dated Daisuke, he was so handsome, but he turned out to be a real creep."
"Yea, guys are a just a nuisance most of the time aren't they?" Sakura said. Then turning to Hinata laughing said, "Yeah and poor Hinata here with Naruto and his childness. So Hinata tell us has your father allowed Naruto back into your house yet?"
"Not yet, he hasn't talked to me in 2 weeks now. Mother is on my side now. I think she understands how I feel 'bout him and is allowing our engagement."
"Woe, slow down. You and Naruto are engaged?" Kai said kind of surprised, "I knew you two were together but had no idea you two were that serious."
"Yea it was funny 'because my father wanted me to marry my cousin Neji but he is with his girlfriend Tenten so that made him mad and then I finally told him me and Naruto have been dating since 8th grade just over the last summer break when he proposed. So now he won't even talk to me and Naruto isn't allowed anywhere near the house."
"Wow," Kai said thinking, "Your dad is pretty strict isn't he."
"Yea my dad tells me though that I'm part of an ancient family lineage and so it's my duty to blah blah blah blah blah…" Hinata said then fell back on the couch laughing.
So the girls then went to the kitchen and raided Sakura's fridge for some ice cream. They each found their favorite flavors, chocolate chip cookie dough; mint chocolate chip; and double chocolate fudge. They then went to Sakura's room and put on Memoirs of a Geisha and laid on a Sakura's bed and slowly fell asleep.
Thank you for reading. Please review and tell me what you think, and if you have any ideas for the next chapter just let me know and I'll think about adding it in. Kai Hatake :p
