We open to the sight of Harry and Naruto rushing over roofs. Harry's currently glaring at his sheepish brother around a large piece of toast in his mouth. Finally swallowing he begins the tirade that Naruto's been dreading. "WHY THE BLOODY HELL DIDN'T YOU WAKE ME UP YOU STUPID JACKASS!" Naruto scratches his head.
"Um, you've been exhausted lately and it looked like you need your rest…" Naruto's head actually jerks backward from the sound waves.
"OF ALL THE STUPID, IDIOTIC, D'ARTVITING…" Harry continues to turn the air blue, then purple for the next fifteen minutes by swearing in several languages. Not noticing, of course, Hedwig and the others taking notes. Or what's happening around him… As is shown when a little boy looks up at his mother.
"Okaa-san, what does…" Needless to say several mouths get washed out with soap over the next few days. Anyways, Harry finally calms down some when they reach the Academy.
"I WILL get you for making us late… AGAIN. Merlin! I swear that there can't be a person who's as late as we are. (Leaving the Psychiatrist, Kakashi sneezes). 'Oh yes… I will have my revenge…' Naruto begins to step away from the maniacally laughing Harry, fearing for his life.
'Sometimes Nii-san REALLY scares me…' Seeing the door, Naruto rushes in ahead of his plotting brother. Rushing into a seat without looking He breathes a sigh of relief, which turns into puzzlement as Harry grins. The reason for which becomes apparent a few seconds later.
"Dobe." Head whipping around (and causing a "Crack" that even the author winces at) Naruto finds himself sitting next to his self-proclaimed rival.
"Teme…" And with that lightning begins to shoot between their eyes. They're distracted however when Ino and Sakura barge into the room.
"HA! Take that Ino-pig! I win and you, your piggyness… Lose." Ino, however, isn't too impressed.
"You only won because you pushed me Forehead!" Ino states with a scowl, which deepens at Sakura's smirk.
"You know what they say… All's fair in love and war… And I win!" Seeing Sasuke, she rushes up and pushes Naruto out of his seat. "Outta my way Naruto! Only I get to sit beside Sasuke-kun!" Naruto gets up and brushes the dust from is clothes.
"Itai Sakura-chan, that hurt." Sakura looks at him and apologizes.
"Sorry, Naruto, but even you can't stand in the way of true love." She watches as Naruto jumps upon the desk and stares/glares at Sasuke. "Naruto! What are you doing!" Naruto just glances at her from the corner of his eye.
"I'm just trying to see what the big deal is." Turning his attention back on a glaring Sasuke, his own glare intensifies. "So what's so great about you, Teme?" Unfortunately neither reacts soon enough as the guy in front of them bumps Naruto causing them to lip-lock. They immediately pull apart and begin to spit in disgust. "Gah! My mouth! It burns! Damn it! If I catch something I'm going to so kick your ass, Teme!" Realizing that the air is full of KI, Naruto begins to fear for his life. Of course, because his attention is elsewhere he doesn't notice Harry putting away a camera.
'Oh, hell yes! Blackmail! Kukuku! This will bring enjoyment for years to come…' Harry pulls out a box of popcorn, ready to watch his brother get an epic beating. However, Ino's fist is caught before it hits Naruto.
"Wha… What are you are you doing forehead! He stole Sasuke-kun's first kiss! He deserves to be… punished for his actions." Ino's eyes widen as Sakura snorts.
"Ino-pig, it wasn't Naruto's fault… for once." Turning to glare at the guy who bumped Naruto, who she notices has a pleased look on his face (which rapidly vanishes as he gulps). "After all… wasn't that guy the one who caused it in the first place?" She smiles a she sees the guy get beat to within an inch of his life, while Inner-Sakura is going through a fan-girl moment.
'(SQUEAL!) Yoai moment! Kissy-kissy!' She screeches as she smashes a Sasuke plushy's and a Naruto plushy's faces together. Shaking her head at a tap on the shoulder, Sakura sees Naruto with a thankful look on his face.
"Thanks, Sakura-chan, I owe you my life." Naruto tells her in a stage-whisper. Shaking her head at his antics, she gives him an amused smile.
"Not a problem. Even though I may beat you for the sometimes idiotic stuff you do at times, even I'm not going to let a friend get hurt for something that wasn't his fault." She begins to chuckle as she remembers how he saved her one time from some bullies using magic. "Besides… Lets just say I owed you one." She blushes as she remembers the kiss, sending Inner-Sakura into squeals again. Giving her a confused look, he slides into the seat next to her. It's at that exact moment that Iruka walks in, grabbing everyone's attention.
"Ok, class. Seeing as I've already given you a speech already, just let me say how proud I am to have been a teacher to each and every one of you." Smiling at the happy faces, Iruka begins to call the teams. (AN: I'm just going to skip most of them… mainly because I'm lazy.) "…Team Seven: Haruno Sakura, Uzumaki-Potter Naruto…" Sakura sighs to herself as Naruto cheers.
'Well, at least I'm with a friend…' She perks up, however, at the next name which causes her to cheer an Naruto to groan.
"Uchiha Sasuke-" Iruka's cut off by Naruto's shout.
"WHAT! How am I and Sakura-chan stuck with this Teme! Hell, I know rabid wolverines more sociable then him!" His head is slammed into the desk by Sakura's fist causing him to stop. Sighing, Iruka decides to explain.
"Sorry, Naruto, but Sasuke is Rookie of the year while your scores place you at the at the bottom. The rules state that the Rookie of the year is to be put with the genin ranked last as well as the top ranking kunoichi, which is Sakura." Naruto is about to protest when Sakura smacks him in the back of the head.
"That's enough Naruto. Your stuck with us so get used to it." Turning back to Iruka (and ignoring Naruto's 'I wouldn't mind if it was just you' even though it brings a smile to her face) she apologizes. "Sorry Iruka-sensei." Iruka simply waves it off.
"Don't worry about it, I'm used to it. Anyways…" Looking back at the sheet, he smiles. "And the last: Uzumaki-Potter Harry. Team Eight: Hyuga Hinata (who looks saddened at not being on the same team as Naruto), Aburame Shino, and Inuzuka Kiba…" While he continues stating that team nine is still in circulation, Ino is fuming.
'Damnit! I should be with Sasuke-kun, not forehead.' Wanting to cheer her up, Choji pats her on the shoulder.
"Cheer up. Could (munch, munch) be worse." Ino just gives him a deadpan look.
"Your right." Choji smiles, only to grumble at what she says next. "I could be stuck with you and lazy-bum over there." She finishes pointing at Shikamaru. Unfortunately for her, she just had to tempt fate. As shown when Iruka announces the next team.
"Team Ten: Yamanaka Ino, Akimichi Choji, and Nara Shikamaru…" Ino then shows the world exactly what she thinks of this…
"NOOOOO!" She put her head down crying, thankfully (for him) not noticing Shikamaru's comment of 'Troublesome'.
0000000000000000000 Meanwhile with the Hokage 0000000000000
The Hokage is currently with several jounin watching the class through his crystal ball. He chuckles as Harry and Naruto pull two guitars from… somewhere and begin to play and sing 'Schools out'. Hearing a voice calling for his attention he turns to Kakashi. "Is there a problem, Kakashi?"
"Yes and no." Seeing the Hokage motioning to go on he continues. "I was just wondering why do I have four genin instead of three." The Sarutobi takes a deep drag from his pipe.
"So you don't believe I did so because there is an extra graduate?" Asuma raises an eyebrow.
"Tou-san, you know that any extra genin would go into the reserve pool in case their needed." Asuma states ignoring how his father is glaring at him. Finally, the Sandaime sighs.
"You are quite correct." He takes a pause to glare at his son. "And I would remind you to show a little respect." Asuma snorts.
"Sure, as soon as those two do so." He states pointing at the crystal ball (which is now showing Harry and Naruto still playing… except with streams of multi-coloured sparks shooting up behind them). Rubbing his nose, the Sandaime sighs.
"Yes, they're disrespectful. HOWEVER," he begins while leaking killing intent "they mean it as a sign of affection." He looks back at Kakashi. "As to why I'm giving you four… The true answer is because of what I have planed. As you know most Genin are placed in various teams. Most are general purpose." Here he takes another long drag. "Last year, Gai's team was chosen to be an Assault team, at which it has succeeded at. This year we have the next generation InoShikaCho team, as well as a tracking team." He gives a nod to both Asuma and Kurenai. At this point Kakashi begins to rub his chin.
"I take it that Team Seven will be another assault team. If they pass that is." He raises an eyebrow as the Hokage begins to laugh. After he calms down, Sarutobi begins to grin.
"Oh, I think there's little chance of them failing." Waving off Kakashi's protests he continues. "Yes, yes there's still the chance they might fail… Though I doubt that." He begins to chuckle again. "Besides, your only partially right. I believe they have the potential to be a Heavy Assault team." Kakashi eyebrow nearly merges with his hair.
"A heavy assault team? How so?" Suddenly a thought occurs to Kakashi. "Unless… Can Naruto control the nine-tail's chakra?" Hearing the murmurs among the others, Sarutobi immediately takes action to stop that thought.
"No." Fixing Kakashi with a glare he continues. "Naruto has not shown the ability to use that chakra since that incident." Seeing that Kakashi is properly chasted he calms down. "He may later show the ability though since the Fourth designed the seal to allow him to do so." Kurenai decides to ask the question on everyone's mind.
"Then why, Hokage-sama? How would adding Harry make it a heavy assault squad?" Sarutobi gives her a nod.
"It's because of Harry's and Naruto's bloodline… despite the fact that they hardly ever use it, they are in fact quite knowledgeable in it." Seeing that there's still confusion, he begins to explain. "Okay here's how it breaks down. Sakura, due to low chakra levels but high control would be support. With her control, she could learn medical techniques or genjutsu quite easily. Sasuke, being an Uchiha, would be the ninjutsu/taijutsu expert. Especially once he awakens his Sharingan." Taking a moment to gather his thoughts, he goes on. "Harry and Naruto however… will be the pure powerhouses of the team." Suddenly a voice pipes up.
"Powerhouses?" Sarutobi smiles abit.
"You heard me correct. Powerhouses." Another grin appears. "Imagine, for a moment, why I say that and look at my reasons. One: They both have absolutely massive reserves, at least low jounin, if not higher. Harry of the two has more control of course, which is shown as he has several self-created genjutsu in his arsenal. Their chakra pools allow them to use high level ninjutsu more often then normal." Looking over he sees several nods. "Two: Because of their magical abilities, they can in fact last longer then your average shinobi in battle. This is because it is a separate pool of energy." Asuma begins to nod.
"I see." Seeing his father motioning to continue, he does so. "Where a normal ninja would have to retreat or risk chakra exhaustion, they don't have that problem. As soon as their chakra gets low they could switch to mahojutsu." The Hokage begins to chuckle at what most of his shinobi have began to call their magical techniques.
"The correct term is 'Spell'. They, in fact, separate spells into different categories like we do with ninjutsu." Musing over how silly wizards are when it comes to categorizing spells, he continues. "Finally, Three: They can do many things with magic that we can't. They could kill someone without leaving behind any evidence. Wounds that normally would be fatal or career ending can be healed. Just about the only thing a trained wizard can't do is raise the dead. However, the real reason I classify them as heavy assault is that they both know spells that can take down large groups of people at once or reduce fortifications to just so much rubble. I hope that solves the mystery?" People around him begin nodding. "Good. Dismissed. Oh, Kakashi? Stay behind for a minute would you?" He does so with several of the others giving him looks of sympathy for the coming ass-chewing they think he's going to get. Resigning himself to his fate, he sighs.
"Hokage-sama, what did you wish to speak about?" The Sandaime fixes him with a bit of a glare.
"What you did was quite stupid, Kakashi. Do you have any idea what might have come from your words." Seeing the regret in his visible eye, he sighs. "However, that is not why I called you here." Seeing an interested look come over Kakashi's face he takes yet another drag of his pipe. "I believe that it's time for you to learn more about your students then you can through their files…"
000000000000 A little later at the Academy 00000000000
Sakura's eye is twitching while waiting for her late teacher. 'Who does this bastard think he is? We've been here for almost…'She looks at the clock causing her blood pressure to rise. 'ALMOST THREE HOURS!' As her and Inner Sakura begin to curse and swear, she looks around for something to keep the boredom away. Seeing Naruto with a book, she gets up to sit beside him. Now that she's closer she sees that he's copying something from the book into another. "What are you doing, Naruto?" Looking up Naruto smiles.
"Simple, I'm translating this book from Italian into Japanese. It's about duelling and knife fighting." He then jerks his thumb at Harry, who Sakura notices, is doing the same thing. "Nii-san, is doing the same thing but it's in Spanish." Suddenly Naruto's head jerks with a smirk on his face as does Harry. "He's coming." Sakura of course is slightly creeped out by this.
"Um, who's coming?" The two brothers rapidly put away the books, before Naruto turns towards Sakura.
"Why, our sensei is of course." Seeing the confused faces on the two non-wizards, they both chuckle. Harry decides to explain.
"Me and Naruto put up some simple wards so we could know when teach is approaching." Suddenly a devious look comes over his face. "Hey, Naruto. You thinking what I'm thinking?" A similar look comes over Naruto's.
"If your thinking what I'm thinking that your thinking that I'm thinking, then yes." If the other two weren't confused before, they are now. Naruto grabs a eraser from the chalkboard and jams it into the door while Harry chants and makes some gestures. Sakura just shakes her head.
"Why must you two do stuff like this? Whatever, I'm having nothing to do with this." She tells them exasperated, Inner-Sakura however…
'I LOVE STUFF LIKE THIS! SHANNARO!" She exclaims with a massive grin on her face. Sasuke just scoffs.
"Dobe. He's elite jounin. Like he's going to fall for that." At that moment Kakashi walks in, and the eraser hits him on the head. Naruto falls to the ground laughing while Sakura apologizes (not that Inner-Sakura didn't enjoy it). Kakashi sighs before putting his hand on his chin.
"Hmm, how do I say this? My first impression of you is… I don't like you." Looking at the expressions on his student's faces, he smiles before being hit by a burst of killing intent. Looking at the source his eye widens before setting itself in a glare and releasing his own killing intent. At once him and Harry shout the same thing: "YOU!" Kakashi continues to point at him. "Do you HAVE ANY idea how much therapy I've gone through!? DO YOU!?" Harry just scoffs before turning his head to the side.
"Whatever happened, you deserved it you pervert." The other three just keep looking back and forth between them not understanding what's going on. Kakashi then turns to them.
"Up to the roof, and don't be late." With that he vanishes ignoring the KI coming from all of his students.
000000000000000 Up on the roof…000000000
Kakashi appears on the roof in a swirl of leaves, smirking. 'There, hopefully that will annoy my new cute genin for a bit…' His thoughts however are interrupted be a snort. Turning around his jaw drops. For there is Harry and Naruto playing poker (the three familiars are of course watching). "Wha… How… When?" Harry smirks.
"About time you got up here, we've been waiting for a while…" His smirk widens as he feels a familiar weight around his neck. 'Thank Merlin for time-turners…' It's at that point that the other two members come up. While Sasuke stares at them with an eyebrow raised, Sakura's head whips back an forth between them and the stairs.
'Wait a second… They were just behind both me and Sasuke-kun… So how did they…?' Inner-Sakura simply shrugs.
'What do you expect? Weird things happen around them all the time. Besides, even if you asked them, they would probably say "Wizards are very mysterious by our nature, so do you really expect us to tell you?" Or something along those lines.' Thinking over Sakura nods in agreement.
'Still… You have to wonder how they do that stuff… But the world may never know.' Sakura is brought out of her musing by Kakashi asking them to be seated. Which they do.
"So, let's introduce ourselves… You know: Likes, dislikes, hobbies, dreams for the future… That kind of stuff. How about you first?" He asks pointing at Sakura, who just huffs. However before she can speak, Harry beats her to the punch.
"How about you do it first, sensei? After all, we've shared a classroom for the past several years and we don't know any thing about you… besides that you're a pervert of course." Kakashi's eyebrow twitches some before he calms down.
"Hmm… My name is Hatake Kakashi, I have many likes and few dislikes… I don't feel like telling you about my hobbies… Dreams for the future…" As he trails off'he eye smiles before he points at Sakura. "So, how about you, pinky?" Needless to say this annoys her.
'Pinky? PINKY! I'LL MUDERIZE HIM!' Inner-Sakura shouts before taking a Kakashi plushy, tying what appears to be TNT to it, before setting it off causing a mushroom cloud. Sakura on the other hand just takes a deep breath to calm herself before answering.
"My name is Haruno Sakura and I like… (Looks at Sasuke and giggles) I dislike Ino-pig and when Naruto acts stupid. (Naruto: HEY!) Hobbies… (Looks at Sasuke again and squeals) Dreams for the future… (Sasuke again with a HUGE squeal)" All those present just sweat-drop.
'Just great… a fan-girl' Shaking his head, Kakashi turns and points at Naruto. "Okay, porcupine head, your next." Naruto becomes excited.
"My name is Uzumaki-Potter Naruto! My likes are… Ramen, my nii-san, learning new spells, Sakura-chan, Hinata-chan, Tsume-chan, Ojii-san… and a lot of other stuff. My dislikes are the three minutes it takes to cook ramen, people who blame people for something they didn't do, and mine and Nii-san's relatives." That last one caused both Kakashi and Sasuke to perk up.
'Hmm, interesting…' Kakashi thinks as he notices Harry scowling at Naruto.
"Damnit Naruto, I've already told you to let it go. It's in the past and you can't change the past, only the future." Naruto gets a bullish look on his face.
"Doesn't mean I can't dislike them." Hearing Kakashi clearing his throat, Naruto continues. "Where was I? Ah, right! Hobbies… Training, playing pranks, learning more magic, and… Other stuff. Dreams for the future? Become the greatest Hokage and some day to have a large family." Naruto finishes with a big smile on his face. Kakashi gives him an eye-smile.
'Well, hasn't he grown in an interesting way?' Points at Sasuke. "Now for you, broody." Sasuke assumes the Gendo Pose TM.
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke… There isn't many things I like and a lot of things I dislike. I don't have any hobbies. I don't have a dream, but an ambition: to kill a certain man." At that proclamation crickets begin to chirp. All of the others having different thoughts.
Kakashi: 'Great. An avenger.'
Naruto: 'Crap hope it isn't me… Shit! He's going to kill me because of the kiss.'
Sakura: 'That's kinda creepy.'
Inner-Sakura: 'Very creepy.'
Harry: 'He's still hung up on Itachi? Yeesh!'
Familiars: 'He needs a life.'
Kyubi: 'Too much like I was.'
Shaking his head, Kakashi turns to his last student. "Your turn, bird's nest." Harry simply gives him a raised eyebrow.
" 'Bird's nest'? That's the best you could come up with? Isn't much of an insult, since my hair gives me a roguishly innocent look." Kakashi begins to blink as he tries to figure out how that would be even possible. Smirking at his confusion, Harry begins his introduction. "My name is Uzumaki-Potter Harry, AKA The-Boy-Who-Lived… Don't ask." He adds seeing that Sakura's about to interrupt. "My likes are learning more magic, Ramen, Nii-san, Hana-chan, Ayame-chan, and my familiars. My dislikes are a certain Hebi-teme I wouldn't mind wiping from the surface of the Earth. (Gets a interested look from Sasuke) As well as the idiot civilian council. Hobbies… Translating ancient tomes, learning new spells, training, and pranks. Dreams for the future?" Scratching his chin for a moment before a soft smile comes over his face. "Helping my brother reach his goals, one day raising a family of my own and (here he looks at the sky) making my parents proud so I can meet them with a smile some day in the next life…" Kakashi gives him a respectful nod.
'So I got an Avenger, a fan-girl, a Hokage-wannabe, and a guy who is abit of an avenger as well as having a solid goal… This might be fun, if they pass that is.' Kakashi slaps his knee drawing their attention. " Well, team I must say that your all interesting in your own ways. Tomorrow we begin our first mission. Just us five." Naruto lights up.
"A mission! Really! What are we going to do, Beat up bandits, rescue princesses-" Harry interrupts him.
"Fight off an Alien invasion alongside magical pretty girls?" Noticing some of the looks he's getting, Harry scratches his neck while closing his eyes. "What? It could happen." Kakashi shakes his head while wondering why him.
"No. No. And don't I wish. We'll be doing survival exercises." He states with an eye-smile hoping for an reaction. He isn't disappointed.
"What! But sensei, we did those in the Academy." Sakura nearly shouts, Sasuke and Naruto nodding while Harry gives him a bored look. Kakashi shakes his head.
"Ah! But this isn't your average survival test. In fact it's to see if you can truly be ninja." Needless to say what happens.
"NANI! WHAT DO YOU MEAN A TEST! THEN WHAT WAS THE ACADEMY TEST FOR!" Kakashi give them another eye-smile before explaining.
"Oh that? That was only to see if you had the potential to become ninja's." Kakashi hangs his head and begins to tremble. Nervously Sakura asks what's wrong, only for a creepy chuckle to come from him. "You guys are going to flip. You see, there's an sixty-six percent failure rate." Seeing some of the shocked looks he laughs. "Told you that you were going to flip." His laugh dies however at Harry yawning. Harry then turns to his brother and holds out his hand.
"Told you so. That will be fifty ryo this time." A grumbling Naruto takes out several bills before shoving them into Harry's hand. As he's counting, Harry notices the looks given to him. "What? It's perfectly legal." Sakura suddenly puzzles it out.
"Wait! You knew about this!" Harry nods.
"Well, yeah. I DO sit on the council you know, Sakura nee-chan." Harry tells her shrugging. Kakashi then clears his throat to get their attention. Harry just gives him a bored look. "I got some cough drops for that you know." Kakashi just sweat-drops.
"Er, that's nice I guess. Anyways, be at training ground seven at eight AM… And don't eat breakfast or you'll puke." And with that he vanishes. Shaking her head, Sakura turns to Sasuke.
"Sasuke-kun! Do you want to go on a date?" Sasuke, of course, shoots her an annoyed look.
"No. Go bother someone else." With that he walks away with a tearful Sakura who finds Naruto's arm around her shoulder.
"Bah! Leave him go. After all he doesn't know what he's missing. I know that I, for one, would go on a date with you, Sakura-chan." Sakura wipes away the tears before turning towards Naruto and smiling.
"Thanks Naruto." Several meters away, Kakashi smiles to himself.
'Hmm, perhaps they just might pass after all…'
0000000000 Later that night 00000000000000
Naruto's currently pouring over several papers before sighing. Looking up, he looks at his brother who's lounging on the couch. "Is this all you could dig up on him?" Harry snorts at the question.
"Don't be stupid, we're lucky to have that much info on him. I may be on the council, but there's only so much I can do." Naruto nods. Looking over, Harry notices Hedwig slowly making her way through a book. Smiling, he clears his throat getting her attention. "So good book?" Hedwig nods happily.
"Mmm-hm! It's a pretty good story, after all." She suddenly blushes. " Thanks again for teaching us to read and write." Harry leans over and gives her a kiss on the cheek.
"No problem, after all you three have helped me so it's only fair I do something for you." Hedwig puts her book down before giving Harry a hug. She slowly reaches up and ruffles his hair.
"We didn't do anything. However thanks for the sentiment." She looks then looks at the clock before leaning over to mark her page and close the book. She then turns to Harry with a smile. "Well, looks like it's time for bed." Nodding Harry and Naruto walk towards their rooms. As they disappear and the lights turn off Naruto sums up the feelings for the next day.
"Tomorrow seems likely to be… very interesting."
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Steve: And there we have it! Another chapter!
Hinata: Um, why is Sakura different then she is in canon?
Steve: Well, that's the thing. When you have a crossover occur at a particular time, everything after that point will change from canon. Take for example the incident Sakura refers to.
Pen-pen: War wark waarrk waaark ark waar warrkkk waark warrk? (You mean Naruto saving her from bullies using magic?)
Steve: Exactly! In canon Naruto might have tried to help her only to be beaten. Canon Sakura would have probably thought him an idiot for trying it in the first place and the results would only reinforce this. In my fic, Naruto used some minor spells (the levitating charm for example) and won making Sakura re-evaluate her belief, eventually leading to her and Naruto becoming friends MUCH earlier then in canon.
Yui: I see, your slowly shifting the timeline away.
Steve: Only by a little, though by this point there are some major differences... which will be revealed. Anyways, the polls are now closed for Naruto's familiar. And the winner by a landslide is... The Hellhound! Thank you all who voted. Oh and before I forget, here's Hinata's surprise! See ya!
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
A.T.E: Sisterly rivalry
Hinata's slowly walking home, humming a tune with a soft smile on her face. Walking through the door she takes off her shoes before turning at the sound of footsteps. "Hello, Hanabi-chan, have a good day?" And that is one of things that have changed over the years: Hinata no longer stutters as much. In fact, she only stutters when shocked or surprised.
"Hai, Onee-sama!" Looking around, and seeing no one in sight, Hanabi leans in towards Hinata's ear. "So Onee-sama, are you on Naruto-kun's team?" Hinata sighs before shaking her head. "Shoot! I was hoping that if he was on your team he would come over more." Seeing the blush on Hanabi's face, Hinata glares.
"Why? He's too old for you anyways." Now it's Hanabi's turn to glare at her older sister.
"Why? Simple, I'm sure he would rather have a slender yet energetic girl then someone who has a little bit of… meat on her bones." At that Hinata begins to growl at her.
"Oh, I'm so sure. So where's this slender yet energetic girl? Because I don't see her anywhere? As to me having some meat on my bones, at least I got it where it counts Omouto-chan." Their glaring contest is interrupted by an amused cough. Looking around, they're met with the sight of a smiling Hiashi.
"You know girls, sisters shouldn't fight." Getting snorts in return he watches in faint amusement as they both walk off trading barbs. "I swear, what is it with that guy and getting female Hyuuga's to fall for him." His smile widens as he feels two arms wrap around his neck as a familiar voice reaches his ears.
"I think it's his personality combined with those beautiful eyes of his." Turning, Hiashi is greeted with the sight of his wife. "So when are you going to tell them?" Hiashi chuckles before kissing her on the forehead.
"Soon. I'm just waiting a few more months Hime." Watching his wife, Hiashi can't help but feel grateful towards the Uzumaki's. Soon after Hanabi had been born, his wife had come down with a strange disease that caused her to slowly waste away. Eventually going to Harry and Naruto when all else failed he was shocked to know that it was known in Harry's world, even curable to an extent using medicine and magic. Allowing them to take her to Harry's world was one of the hardest decisions he ever had to make. Now that she was back, he couldn't help but be grateful to the two who saved her. Since then they've made every day count knowing that the "Cancer" might return. His attention is drawn back to his wife as she buries her face in his chest.
