Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ How a Fangirl Drives Ninjas Crazy ❯ Introducing the leeches, I mean, fangirls ( Chapter 1 )

Meeting the Leeches…um…Fangirls

 

Hatake Kakashi whistled as he walked along. It was a beautiful day, his team was dispersed for the moment, and he'd gotten rid of the leech that had caught him earlier. Pulling his “Flirting in Paradise” book out of his belt pouch, he began reading as he walked along.

Hearing cursing ahead of him, he peeked around the corner. The scene in front of him made his one visible eye widen and a slight chuckle escape him. Hyuuga Neji stood there, trying his best to pry the “leech” that was stuck to the front of his shirt. Amused, Kakashi leaned against the wall, watching.

Neji saw him, but ignored him in favor of trying to get the girl off of him. She was fairly non-descript, with short blonde hair. It was impossible to tell the color of her eyes since she was smiling so widely that they were shut. Kakashi looked up as one of his students, Uchiha Sasuke, walked up to him.

He was forced to contain the snort of laughter that was trying to escape. Sasuke was carrying around another one of the girls, this one with long brown hair. Both girls clung to the younger men with a fervor that made it impossible to detach them.

“Sensei…” Sasuke began hesitantly. Kakashi, watched him, waiting. “Would you please help?”

Kakashi mused for a moment, seeing out of the corner of his eye that Neji had stopped cursing to listen. “I suppose I could give a few tips. But they're good for strength training you know.”

Sasuke's eyes narrowed and he practically growled, “I refuse.”

The white-haired sensei shrugged. “I can't guarantee you'll like my solution.”

Neji finally spoke up. “I don't care, what is it!!?”

Smiling behind his mask, he gave it to them. “Hug them back.”

“You have to be joking,” a new voice said. Kakashi glanced behind him to see Gaara of the Desert, with yet another girl clinging to him.

“Nope. That's the easiest way to get rid of them.”

Sasuke sighed, then glanced down at the girl clinging to him. “What are they anyway?” he asked, his fingers twitching.

Kakashi scratched his head, thinking. “I think they're called fangirls. I've heard of them, but never seen them before. They tend to gather when a lot of ninjas are in one place. You three should be honored. I've heard that some of them are very picky. Well,” he glanced at Neji. “Except you. I had that one stuck to me earlier.”

Neji fumed. “And why didn't you take care of her then?” His hands curled up into fists at his sides. There was no way that he was going to hug her, Kakashi thought.

He shrugged and stuffed his hands in his pockets. “I thought she was kind of cute, and essentially harmless. Why hurt her?”

Neji glared, if possible, even harder, alternating between the sensei and the girl clinging to him. As if sensing his anger, she cuddled closer to him, latching on even more securely.

Sasuke sighed, swiveled on one heel, and walked away. “Keep Sakura away for a bit,” he called over his shoulder. Kakashi grinned, then glanced at Gaara. To his surprise, Gaara suddenly crumbled, leaving sand in a pile. The fangirl, stunned, sat there a moment, then sniffled and started wailing.

“Now now,” he said quietly, patting her on the shoulder. She sniffled, looking up at him. “I think he went that way,” he finished, pointing in the direction he'd seen Gaara go.

She grinned gleefully then took off like a bullet, heading straight for the Desert ninja. He glanced back at Neji, wondering if he'd actually hug the fangirl or not. Neji's eyes were closed and he gritted his teeth, then slowly, painfully, wrapped his arms around her.

A high-pitched squeal of glee escaped her. She kissed him on the cheek before he could react, then raced off after her friend. Kakashi chuckled. “Now was that so hard?”

Neji growled.
