Right Off The Bat (NaruHina)

5 - Detention!

|Naruto|

Yesterday sure was eventful!

We bumped into Hinata again because her ball hit me.

After we found our way out of the "Nature Park", we decided to hang out.

Hinata and I played catch, I think we even covered a whole field at some point. But that was until that huge dog caught it.

Wait... Speaking of Hinata... Did I...?

Holy crap.

"NOOOOOO!!!!"

How come I haven't noticed that I-?!

"Ehem. What is it this time, Naruto?" Sir Kakashi asked, in the middle of some scientific term of a math equation needed for- Why does History have that?

"What's gotten into you?" Ino hissed from behind me.

I suddenly realized I was standing on Sai's desk, which was three seats away from me, and All of our classmates and sir Kakashi were looking at me.

I raised my hand and yelled "Sir! I need to get out of here and check in my locker if a ball is still there! Not just any ball! Cricket!!!"

I heard a loud slap beside me, only to see Sakura with a red forehead.

"Naruto, we are in Japanese History, not in some sort of class with an Animal Kingdom discussion" He said, I waved my hand around and said "No! I meant, the bat!"

"Still animal-"

"Please! A giant dog will eat my hand if I lost it, believe it!"

"Detention"

-

"So... What're you in detention this time?" Granny Tsunade, our principal, asked.

"Well, it all started with this ball"

"Uh huh"

"It hit my head!"

"Hm..."

"Then a girl came, she was amazing!"

"How does this connect to your detention?"

"I'm getting there, believe it!"

"Okay"

"So there was this guy, he liked the taste of my shoe"

"What?"

"But then my mom came and I had to run!"

"Okay"

"But then I stepped on a cricket-"

"How'd you know it was a 'cricket'?"

"Well, when I stopped to pick it up, it was the size of my hand. When I came home after my mom threw my wallet at my back, I searched what it was called and the internet said it was a crick-"

"What's this gotta do with-?!"

"Hold on, granny! I'm getting there, geez! Okay, actually, it belonged to Hinata- the girl. So I kept it for her until we meet again!"

"I don't see how your story connects..."

"But all of that was three months ago at the last year's finals!"

"Wha-"

"But yesterday, Sakura and I came over the emo duck's luxurious home!"

"Huh?"

"But Sakura said she doesn't need wings! And she was mad! She was going to kill me, and I had to run like there was no tomorrow!"

"That's a whole new story"

"No it isn't, just listen, granny! Anyway. Where was I?"

"Running"

"Oh yeah! Then my mom threw my wallet at my back, so I-"

"No, from Sakura. She doesn't need wings?"

"Right, right. So she punched me and I was sent FLYING against a fountain!"

"You're exaggerating"

"But then Hinata threw her cricket at me by accident and saved me from Sakura by calling dibs!"

"I don't underst-"

"So the guy who licks my shoe along with her cousin let us hang with them! Oh yeah, there was this other guy who was taking care of Hinata's bat"

"What?! This is getting weirder"

"So Hinata and I played catch, and I'm pretty sure we were pros at it. Anyway! The guy who likes my shoe caught our ball in his mouth! Ah! His dog, I mean"

"Now I'm confused"

"Just listen! I'm almost at the end. So Hinata and I parted ways and she went back to the other side"

"Huh?"

"Then, just this morning, in sir Kakashi's class, I realized! Oh my God! I didn't remember to give back her cricket-"

"That you... Stepped on three months ago"

"Yep! Then the next thing I knew was that I was standing on Sai's desk and Sakura's forehead was red... And I'm pretty sure there was a snake in the classroom"

"Alright" Tsunade groaned as she rubbed her temples "Who's Hinata again?"

"The cricket girl" I answered, well, I told her, but apparently she's slow and didn't get the thread!

"And how'd you two meet?"

"Uh... Hinata had balls that hit me"

"I'm sorry" She rubbed her eyes "Did I just hear that right?"

"That Hinata had the balls that hit me?"

"Oh God" She groaned, she cleared her throat and asked "And she has a bat?"

"Yep! She's batman!"

"You're-"

"I mean a batsman!"

"And you stepped on her cricket three months ago and you wanted to give it back"

"That's what I said, though..."

"So here's my question" She took in a deep breath and asked "Are you sure that, from the first time that you hit your head... You didn't damage your brain?"

"What?! Of course! I'm completely fine, believe it!" I claimed, she then looked at me sadly and said "Boy, you wanted to give back the insect you stepped on to a girl who you just met after you got your head, and just so happen, that insect was as big as your hand"

"What insect?!" "The cricket!"

"Cricket is a sport, you know?! Her ball from the game, I found it!"

"And the bat? And batman?"

"You really don't know cricket don't ya, granny? It's a bat! Baseball has it too! Cricketers swing it too, you know!"

"And the guy who likes your shoe?"

"I dunno what's wrong with him, actually. I'm pretty sure he's a dog... Wait! No! He has a best friend that is a dog, so maybe he's copying him?"

"Okay, now I'm confused again. What happened again?"
