Neji was still on the ground, twitching, with what looked like steam coming from him. He was as red as a raw piece of meat all over. "Neji, get up. What if anyone else sees you on the ground looking like a tomato? Like perhaps, Kiba?" Said Tenten. At that, Neji sprung up off the ground and dusted his clothes off.

Kakashi sighed. "I suppose we'll have to take a rain check on the battle. Since (Y/n)'s already rekindled her friendship with most of us, why don't we take her to see Team Kurenai and Team Asuma? I'm sure the others would want to see her. Let's go, I might know where Team Asuma is." With that, we all walked out of the training field, soon enough stopping in front of a restaurant.

"I saw Shikamaru and Choji this morning, before training and before (Y/n) came." Said Naruto.

Sakura hummed, adding on. "I saw Ino this morning too. She said something about going to train with the team before going to lunch. I saw her heading here alone when I was running to catch up to (Y/n) at the training field."

Sasuke crossed his arms. "That obviously means that they're here. This is the place where Choji eats the most, and last time I checked Shikamaru had no problem with it. I really couldn't care less about Ino." He said.

Sakura immediately started blushing. "Oh Sasuke, you're so smart!"

From somewhere behind us, I heard someone yell, "Hey, Naruto!"

Naruto turned around at the call of his name, looking like he was about to say something, when a puppy jumped on him. "Hey! Akamaru, get off!" With that, the puppy, apparently named 'Akamaru', hopped off of Naruto and headed to a boy with red face paint and a jacket with fur trim. He had the hood up, which I thought was ridiculous, since it was starting to get warmer and warmer as summer approaches. I turned around, being able to see all their faces, but they couldn't see mine.

The boy with the trimmed jacket spoke up. "Uh, who's the guy in the cloak? I've never seen him before. Is he new to the village?" I rolled my eyes, and spoke up.

"Not exactly."

He seemed to recognize my voice, but was still a bit suspicious. To ease his worries, and to avoid further unnecessary questioning, I pulled my hood down so he could see my face. "Remember me, Kiba?" Said boy broke out into a grin and Akamaru ran up to me, jumping into my arms.

"Akamaru, it's my turn now!" With that, Akamaru jumped out of my arms, soon being replaced by Kiba. The boy soon pulled back and gave me a toothy smile, which I returned with a warm gaze. He backed up to let me greet the others. I remembered how Shino was, so instead of giving him a short hug, I shook his hand. After I did that, I headed over to Hinata and gave her a hug too.

"Welcome back, (Y/n)." Said Shino.

'I-It's nice t-to see you a-again." Stuttered Hinata.

"So, how've you been? You were gone for a long time, what were you doing?" Asked Kiba.

"Just training." I replied. I was starting to get hot, so I took off my cloak. Kiba and Neji's eyes widened. "You certainly have grown, huh? Hehe..." muttered Kiba, as he stared at me. Neji stayed quiet, yet he stared too. Sakura hit Kiba upside the head, as Tenten did the same with Neji. I tilted my head. "I'm thirteen now, Kiba. Of course I have grown. And I will keep growing." Kiba nodded his head. "And I can't wait to see how it turns out..." he mumbled under his breath.

I sighed and turned towards Kakashi and Sasuke, who've been quiet this whole time. "Let's go in, already. I still need to greet Shikamaru, Choji, and Ino." With that, everyone but Kiba, who was laying on the ground unconscious from a kick to the head dealt by Sakura after he made his last comment, went into the restaurant. Even Akamaru followed us.
