Disclaimer: I own this vague situation and plot. I don't own Naruto, its characters and/or any of its other elements. There was no beta for this chapter and this story was written for pure entertainment. This is the second rewrite and I hope you enjoy the changes. Side note: Team Kakashi is team 7 and I've named team Guy team 4.

It was exactly 7:23(AM) when Hatake Kakashi appeared before the student he had told to show up at seven o'clock on the dot. Apparently he saw nothing wrong with that, with was oddly typical of him. Normally, at this point, his students would be doing three things. The blonde would yell and demanded an explanation, while make a spectacle of himself. The cherry haired female would lower her head looking slightly embarrassed at the outburst, while acting as if she hadn't intended the same greeting. The last member of the team, a raven-haired male, would look deeply irritated while knocking the blonde one square in the head.

But they were not doing that, as today was not a normal day. On this day three other members joined them, and that disrupt their normal chaos quite a bit.

Kakashi looked at the six young ninja in front of him and could help but think this was a combination for disaster. Uchiha Sasuke and Hyūga Neji were openly glaring at one another. A struggling Ten-Ten was attempting to drag a very energized Rock Lee away from a slightly nervous Haruno Sakura. The attempts were unsuccessfully and Kakashi felt twinge of sympathy. Although the circumstances weren't practically similar to these, he could recall the times he had suffered do to someone else "burning youth". He looked on to find the sixth member of the group, Uzumaki Naruto, standing off to the side with a somber yet angry expression. The boy was, as usual, completely oblivious to the world around him. Kakashi knew that today his obliviousness was do to the fact that no one was taking the time to glare at him. That was a ridicules worry; his teammate made it their business to throw him menacing looks at least once a day.

Kakashi thought it best to get the day started, so with a smile hidden behind his mask and a cheerful good morning he began. "Well seeing as Might Guy is…" He didn't know where Might Guy was. Only clue he had was the satisfied smirk on Mitarashi Anko face whenever someone mentioned the strange disappearance. That grin was wide enough to tell him she was behind it and she was pleased herself. Not so wide to indicate there had been a death or even any serious injuries, which was enough to make him curious.

It seamed his mind had been wondering too long, because two thirds of him group went back to their proves activities. The other third consisted of the geniuses who knew there had to be a good reason for combining to two teams. By good they meant interesting and that third of the team seceded their glaring and waited for him to continue. Kakashi could see the suspicion brewing inside the onyx and snow like orbs. "Guy is out today and I'll be coving for him", He said with a smile. The word came out in away that sounded as if he always done this and it was common for a sensei to take over another team while still looking after his own. He didn't want to alarm Guys pupils but he put a certain tone on the word out. That tone implied "don't push it" and the two it was meant for got the message. "I'll split you up to teams of two, one member from team 4 with one from them 7." At that the two teams began looking around horrified, undoubtedly trying to decide who they could possible stand to tolerate, or at the very least not hate, for the day.

It was clearly not a good idea to pair Neji and Sasuke. That is unless he wanted to attend a funeral in the near future, and he did not. Neji and Naruto would mostly have the same outcome for those rezones he decided… "The first pair will be Hyūga Neji and Haruno Sakura." Neji nodded his head to indicate he understood and walked off to the left side of the training ground. Sakura gave he raven-haired teammate one last look, which went completely unnoticed by him. She shot her sensei an evil look before sprinting after her withed-eyed training partner. Kakashi contemplated pairing her with Lee tomorrow as punishment but for now… "Second pair Rock Lee and Uzumaki Naruto." He was sure that would be an interesting match up, it seemed they both had an absurd amount of energy. As the second team made there was to the right he smile down and said "that just leaves you two." Whit no other options, "Ten-Ten and Uchiha Sasuke … you two are the third pair."

This should be interesting, he thought, that is if they don't kill each other. Interesting, he had the feeling he would be using that word to describe the next few days. With that he diapered into a puff of smoke.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Why me, Ten-Ten wonder to herself. Oh why did she have to be stuck with Uchiha Sasuke. He was cute she'd give him that much but she was had just gotten rid of her own arrogant prick. She couldn't even savor her newfound liberty, for in less then a minute she was assigned another in his stead. It appeared to her that she simply traded white eyes for black ones. With a soundless sigh she decided to make the best of this deeply annoying situation. In her opinion small talk was the best way to break the ice. In fact it was exactly how she had gotten throw to her teammates so long ago. Small talk and persistence, if that failed there were always threats to fall back one but Ten-Ten suspected he would do something to warrant the latter in the near future. Till then…

"You're sensei is…" Her worlds trailed off as she thought of way to describe him. She couldn't very well say what she was thinking which was: your sensei is a weirdo who can't tell time. On the bright side he's cute. No, Ten-Ten knew that would not help that conversation in way remotely positive. She heard Sasukes voice offering 'one of a kind' as possible ending, but before she could stop herself the words "Oh, I hope so," slip out with urgency.

She mentally cursed herself. That was not what she meant to say, at least not out loud. Quickly she looked to see if Sasuke had noticed her words. The strange expression told her he had indeed heard them. She wonder if he shared the same twisted devotion towards his sensei as Lee did Guy. With Lee you should never say anything remotely bad about Guy. To be on the safe side she thought it wise to apologize and leave it at that. "I'm sorry," she began before he interrupted her irritated glance.

"I agree," he said kneeling to tightening his kunai holster. "Nothing would get done if we all told time the way he dose."

Ten-Ten laughed and considered the possibility that maybe he wasn't as bad as she thought. As he stood up She went to give him a hand but stop, knowing he would never accept it. When he was at eye leave she asked, "Is he always that late?" In hopes of keeping talking a little while longer.

"Today he was early." She wondered if the word early had been a mistake. It must have given that his sensei was over twenty minutes late. She considered pointed it out but he spoke. "Last weak he made us wait for over an hour." Sasuke looked around at the other pairs, "we should train in the forest. There's a clearing about a half a mile in."

He walked off towards the forest; Ten-Ten followed carrying her training gear. They could have walked off in silence but she knew it would be quite soon enough. It was only a matter of time before a person like him closed up again, before then she would get all she could out of him. "Did he have a good reasons for being late?"

"No," he growled. Ten-Ten could understand his frustration she hated wait for people, especially if they made her wait extend periods of time for nothing. "Apparently he was lost."

"People get lost all the time," she said but she couldn't understand how he had managed it. All Genin had been restricted to the village for the last two weeks, so that would mean a Jōnin sensei hand gotten lost in his own village. Pulse it had taken him and hour to fine his team, when each team had a desiccated area. That location was, of course, chosen by the sensei themselves. He must have sensed her confusion because he stopped to explain.

"He was lost on the road of life." Ten-Ten hoped this was a joke. "Fortunately it only took an hour for him to find his way back." When Sasuke turned to face her she saw he was not joking. That was actually his explanation.

She found it hilarious but didn't laugh instead she said, "I see". The laughter she was suppressing founds it's was to her lips in the form of a smile. At this point she continued walking and let then fall in to a silence. The silence wasn't exactly comfortable but it wasn't awkward, that was reasonable to her. Beside she knew you could only force a hermit to say much. If she pushed any move conversation on him, she knew he would start to lash out.
