Playing Twister w/ La Squadra

a/n: I wasn't really sure how to make these romantic cause it's Twister so these are more platonic than anything

Genre: Fluff, a shit ton of crack

-Welcome to team underpaid, where the electric bill will be shut off and you'll have to play board games by candlelight

-After your pre-scheduled Saturday movie night was cancelled, Melone insisted on playing board games the entire night

-You motherfuckers should've known he'd run and get Twister

~Risotto~

-He's literally too big to even fit on the mat completely but he'll play anyway

-Be careful though, he might fall on you (or another one of your teammates)

-Most of the time he's in charge of spinning the little wheel and declaring what it says (sometimes he lies just to make whoever's on the board bend in ways a human shouldn't be bending)

-Maybe he'll definitely use Metallica to tickle whoever's on the board with him just so he'll win (works very well on Melone and Prosciutto)

-It's very funny to watch him play, but terrifying to be playing with him

~Prosciutto~

-Old man ham thinks this game is "childish and incredibly immature" and that you guys should be "playing something with more class"

-Nobody wants to play chess with you Prosciutto just put your right hand on red

-Ends up really tangled with whoever he's playing with that round and has threatened to turn them to dust if they crease his suit (why's he wearing a suit to play twister??? literally nobody knows)

-Thinks this is actually really fun and a great bonding experience with the team (he won't say that out loud though)

-Gives you a pep talk when it's your turn to play (even though it's literally just Twister)

~Pesci~

-Very nervous cause he doesn't wanna accidentally fall and hurt someone or touch anybody in the wrong place

-Will ask if it's okay if he has to put his hand/foot anywhere near anybody

-Honestly it's really sweet. You know you won't get felt up when you play with him

-Thinks the game is super fun but a little uncomfortable to play because of the weird ass ways he'll have to bend

-Gets surprisingly competitive. If you guys are doing some weird team type of thing, pair up with him because he wins every single time

~Illuso~

-This bastard is a CHEATER. He purposefully knocks your hand/foot out from under you when he's moving. Make sure Formaggio isn't the spinner that round because he won't say shit to Illuso about it

-If he's getting a little too close for comfort just yank on one of his ponytails and he'll avoid touching you for the rest of the game

-Complains a lot about having to move in some weird ass shape to get his limb on the right circle but that's literally the entire premise of the game idk what he thought he was getting himself into

-Ends up losing like 5 minutes into the round and wants to challenge whoever he was playing with to a rematch (he'll lose those too)

-Thinks playing the game is stupid and would much rather watch

~Formaggio~

-He fucking LOVES this game because he's so good at cheating

-He'll shrink the person he's playing with just a little bit so they struggle to reach the place they need to put their hand

-If he's the one in charge of spinning and Illuso cheats he won't say anything about it but he'll accuse the other player of trying to cheat when they didn't do anything (this has resulted in Ghiaccio almost beating him to death but he never learned)

-Thinks it's hilarious to watch whoever's playing try to stay upright when they have to stretch their hand all the way behind them

-Wants to cover the mat in oil to see which member of the team has the best balance (hint: it's not him)

~Ghiaccio~

-He gets so into it but he's so bad at the game because he gets distracted (Formaggio and Illuso distract him) when he has to move

-His glasses will fall off but he can't pick them up or he'll lose the game so he just has to play blind half the time

-It's funny until he gets mad and almost breaks your wrist when you try to put them back on for him (he'll insist he doesn't need them but he literally can't see)

-He always calls people out for cheating when he's in charge of the spinning (which is why Formaggio and Illuso distract him while he's playing)

-Doesn't last very long into the round with the combination of Formi and Illuso fucking with him and being literally blind

~Melone~

-DON'T PLAY WITH HIM JUST DON'T FUCKING PLAY WITH HIM HE CHEATS BY MAKING HIS OPPONENT UNCOMFORTABLE TO THE POINT THEY JUST FORFEIT

-He will lick you if he gets close enough, doesn't matter where he's gonna do it

-Might moan in your ear if he gets close enough to do that too. He'll do basically anything to make you lose

-Will whisper stupid shit into your ear to get you to laugh and fall down. That might be the only non-creepy way he cheats in this game

-Doesn't even need to cheat, really. Melone is flexible and very sturdy, he just likes making people uncomfortable for some reason

~Sorbet and Gelato~

-The only way they'd get on the mat was if they had to play against each other and the only thing they'd do is make so many sexual innuendos even Melone starts getting uncomfy

-They just like to watch for the most part, they think it's hilarious when people fall down and end up hurting themselves

-If they're being forced to play with everybody else and not just themselves, Sorbet will play dirty as hell but Gelato won't even think about cheating

-Gelato might be shorter than Sorbet but he's way more flexible so he's better at the game

-Honestly they don't even wanna be there but it's funny watching you guys make fools of yourselves so they'll stay

*Y/n's P.O.V*

I found Sasuke sitting on the small porch in front of the house. He was sitting on the step when I opened the door. He didn't move when I came out so I sat down next to him. I put my head in my hands for a minute before I talked to him. "I'm sorry Sasuke."

He looked over at me. "For what?"

"Last night, I should never have taken my anger and stress out on you like that."

"It's okay. I get it. I struck a nerve with what I said and I shouldn't have."

I wrapped my arm around his shoulder and pulled him into me. "You know that I cared more about you and your safety than I did having Zabuza alive, right? I would have died trying to save you if he had gotten any further yesterday."

"I know." Sasuke looked up at me. "I just couldn't stand to see you as hurt as you were when he went after Kakashi-Sensei. You two weren't as secretive as you thought you were walking through the woods either."

I chuckled at him. "You three can't say anything when we get back to the village. It has to stay between the three of us. Kakashi and I don't want people in the village to look at us any differently. I don't want them to break our team up. It's going to be hard enough to hide that the two of us are together when you come home with us."

"You have my word Y/n." Sasuke stood up from the porch, leaning down to kiss the top of my head. "Love you big sis." He smiled as he walked back into the house.

As Sasuke walked through the door Kakashi walked out. He sat down next to me with a loud sigh. "Are you alright?"

I looked over and smiled. "Yea. I'm fine. Just had to have a heart to heart with him after what happened yesterday. I told him that the three of them needed to keep our relationship to themselves until we're ready to say something."

Kakashi kissed the side of my head. The Mask was silky as it touched my temple. "Eventually we will. We just need to find the right time."

I sighed and laid my head on his shoulder. At least with the kids knowing it would be a little easier for us around them. We wouldn't have to worry as much about what we said.

* * * * * * 

Training the kids for the upcoming battle would be the hardest thing we had to do. We had told them to meet the two of us in the forest the following morning. Kakashi still wasn't completely up to par and had resorted to walking around using crutches to keep his balance as much as he could. I was still recovering from my injuries, but we had to prepare them as soon as possible. Who knew when Zabuza would strike again? And who would he bring with him this time?

The three of them stood in front of us, ready to learn. Kakashi leaned on his crutches and was hopeful that the kids were as ready to learn as they looked. "Okay, training starts now."

Naruto was excited, like he always was. "Alright!"

"First," Kakashi put one finger up. "We'll begin with a review on chakra, the ninja's basic source of power. Understanding chakra is essential."

Sasuke was getting cocky, something that was his specialty lately. "We know that."

Naruto piped up with him. "He's right, a long time ago we learned about catra..."

I hung my head and looked over at them, hoping my disappointment was clear. "Chakra..."

Naruto looked embarrassed and started to sweat. Kakashi looked over at Sakura. "Go ahead Sakura." He knew she would be able to explain everything to Naruto quickly.

Sakura put her hands on her hips and I smiled and chuckled a little, Kakashi watching me out the corner of his eye. "Alright, Naruto. I'll explain it simply so you can understand it. Chakra is the elemental life energy that a ninja uses in jutsu. It's the source of his power. Now this energy comes in two forms; there's the phsyical energy which exists in all the cells and the entire body all work together. The other is spiritual energy, the primal source of power which is intensified by training and experience."

I yawned and saw Kakashi smile at me, trying not to laugh at me as Sakura continued. "As you see, these two chakra must be drawn out and brought together in order to perform jutsu. Finally, hand signs focus and unleash the chakra."

When Sakura looked back at Kakashi with a smile he looked over at Naruto. "Right on all points. Iruka-Sensei really did have some excellent students."

Naruto was still sweating. "What's the big deal with all these complicating explanations? The whole point is to learn the jutsu, isn't it?"

Sasuke looked annoyed, but he couldn't help but agree with Naruto. "Naruto is right for once. We're already using chakra in our jutsu."

I looked over at me little brother and raised my eyebrows. "No! You have not mastered this power, you've barely scratched the surface of it!" I was just as frustrated with Sasuke's cockiness as Kakashi was getting.

Naruto started to raise his voice. "What do you mean?"

Kakashi sighed. "Calm down a listen." How did we end up with these two stubborn kids? "It's just like Sakura said, you have to draw on physical and spiritual energies and then combine them. But, how do you do that?" Kakashi looked over at me, clearly wanting me to continue. He knew that Sasuke listen best to me.

I nodded. "Each jutsu uses a differnt type of chakra and in different proportions. You must select and combine them in exactly the right way. Up to now you've just guessed at the proportions, hoping they'd come out right. Even if you produce a lot of chakra, if you can't balance and control it, it's all worthless. The jutsu wont work at all of it'll be a joke. You waste so much energy that way and then you're out of chakra and you can't fight at all, you're just a target."

Naruto looked a little embarassed, knowing he had a problem with that in the academy. He scratched his head. "So how do we change that?"

I was getting more frustrated so Kakashi cut me off. "Train so hard that controlling your chakra becomes second nature. To achieve this goal you must be ready to put your life on the line."

They all looked confused, especially Sakura. "What do we have to do?"

Kakashi pointed up. "Climb a tree."

They all spoke at once, complete confusion in their voices. "Climb a tree?"

"That's right." I smiled and cut Kakashi off. "But there's one rule; no hands."

Now the kids were even more confused. Sakura just looked annoyed. "What? You're kidding?"

"Are we? Let's see." Kakashi looked over at me and nodded. We both put our hands together and balanced our chakra. Kakashi hobbled over to the nearest tree and I followed. We climbed up the same tree , using just our chakra, focused on our feet. The kids stared dumbfounded on the ground. Just to throw them off even more we walked to the largest branch on the tree and hung upside down, having to focus even harder so we wouldn't plummet to the ground. "You get the idea. Focus your chakra to the soles of your feet and use it to connect to the tree. This is one way to use the power of chakra." Kakashi smiled at them.

"Wait a minute, that's a nice trick, but how does that help us fight Zabuza?" Sakura was once again, full of questions.

I let out a breath to calm down a little before speaking. "It's the only way to fight Zabuza. That's the entire goal of this training you guys. First, you'll learn how to draw a precise amount of chakra to a precise part of your body. This is difficult for even advanced ninja. This type of climbing requires a precise mixture of physical and spiritual energy and the bottoms of the feet are the most difficult place to balance chakra. Are you getting the picture? If you can master this, you can master any jutsu."

Kakashi interrupted me. "Well, theoretically," I shot him a glare. "The second point is to learn to maintain your chakra. When a ninja is in battle it's even harder to maintain and control his chakra levels, a deadly mistake. To avoid this maintaining chakra must become second nature, effortless." I paused for a second. "Well, I could talk about this all day, but that won't advance your skills, will it? You need to apply the power of chakra through training."

Kakashi pulled out two kunai and I pulled out one. We threw them to the kids. Naruto and Sakura caught Kakashi's and Sasuke caught mine. I spoke. "Use the kunai to mark the tree at the highest mark that you can climb, without using your hands. Then try to get past that mark the next time. At first you'll need to run at the tree so your momentum will take you as high as possible. Until you get used to it anyway."

Kakashi continued where I left off. We were trying our hardest to teach as a pair. "Ready?"

Naruto picked up his kunai. "I'm ready. This is gonna be no sweat all the way, believe it. Remember what you said Sensei. I'm the one that's grown the most."

It was then that we knew we should never have said that to him. Kakashi sighed. "You're definitely the one that talks the most. Now get focused and do it."

Naruto looked offended, but shook it off. The kids put their hands together and started to balance their chakra. They all took off at a run. Naruto made it two steps up the tree before falling. Sasuke made it about a quarter of the way before his chakra balance went off and smashed the tree some with his foot, marking it with the knife before coming back down. Sakura on the other hand sat on a branch about halfway up her tree, smiling down on the boys. I was extremely proud of her. "Well," I looked particularly at Sasuke, not afraid to be the toughest on him. "Looks like the female member of the squad has the most chakra control."

Sakura stuck her tongue out at the boys and Kakashi praised her. "Well done Sakura."

Naruto was at least being a good sport about it. "Yea! Good job Sakura. I always knew you were awesome, believe it."

Sasuke looked up at me and mumbled, not realizing that we could all hear him. "Whatever."

Sakura was instantly distraught, clearly she was hoping she would impress him. Kakashi tried to help her out a little. "Not only can Sakura control chakra, she can hold and maintain it as well." He looked toward Naruto. "We spoke about someone becoming Hokage one day, didn't we?" He was trying to get a rise out of the boys to make them try harder. "Seems Sakura's got the best chance of that. Wouldn't you say?" Kakashi stepped over the line with his next crack, not only getting a rise from Sasuke, but from me. "And as for the great Uchiha clan, maybe they're not so great after all."

Sasuke and I glared at Kakashi, and so did Sakura. "Shut up Sensei, you talk to much."

Kakashi looked over at me. "Alright, I think they're motivated. I know Naruto and Sasuke have much more chakra within. If this training works their mastery of chakra will become a valuable asset."'

I was still glaring. "And you little comment about the Uchiha clan? What was that?"

"I was just trying to get your brother going, I know how he feels about your clan."

"Well, don't push it with that again Kakashi, or I'll knock your chakra off balance and let you fall from this tree."

He chuckled at me. "You're cute when you're angry." If steam could be coming from my ear it would be. And with that, they all began to attempt the tree again, each time getting just a little farther.

* * * * * * 

After an hour or so the kids were all exhausted. The kids were definitely learning from the teamwork. Naruto went and huddled next to Sakura. Kakashi smiled at me. "He's catching on. From now one he'll only get stronger and stronger. How strong tho?"

I leaned my head on his shoulder. "Naruto possesses more chakra than Sasuke. I can feel it."

"In fact, the amount of chakra he possesses is greater than my own, and yours."
