The buzzing was a very annoying noise especially to hear it first thing in the morning...that is until her fist connected with the noisy device.
"...yawn...stupid clock why'd ya wake me up...ugh"
Blankets flew off as a young girl sat up on her bed rubbing the sleep out of her bright blue eyes. After another yawn and a stretch she entered her bathroom for a quick shower before putting on her clothes which consisted of black ninja sandals, black spandex shorts with a black skirt over it. The shorts where actually a full body piece with the top sleeveless with a turtle neck, she had a light orange jacket and to finish the outfit a leaf headband tied around her neck and two flower like clips pulling her long hair out of her eyes.
She checked her alarm clock only to find it broken.
"Guess I'll have to buy a new one on the way home." She sighed before picking up her bag and slinging it across herself.
"Well I'm off for orientation! I'll be back later!" No one answered but she knew that there was no one there.
The class was full of excited genin bragging about their future adventures while others where nervous of what was next to come. Kyoko didn't bother sitting with anyone instead she chose to sit far away from the groups and read a medical book. Her seat was close to the door so unfortunately her reading was cut short as the doors slammed opened and two girls ran in shouting.
"GOAL!" The blonde rolled her eyes before fixing them on the chapter only to be interrupted a few minutes later by a huge group scream. She looked over while trying to get her hearing back to find an amusing and disgusting scene. Inuzuka Kiba and Uchiha Sasuke where in a lip lock only to turn away and make gagging noises. She resisted the urge to burst out laughing so she turned back to her book.
"Congratulations to everyone here! Remember that from this point on the road will only get harder but I have my faith in you so without further delay let's announce the teams! Team one-" Kyoko continued reading until she heard her name.
"Team eight under jounin Sarutobi Asuma: Uzumaki Kyoko, Akimichi Chouji and Inuzuka Kiba." After the teams where announce they where allowed to leave for lunch.
"Well it seems that the Hokage grouped the losers together am I right Team Dobe?" The voice of Uchiha Sasuke alerted her that Sasuke as well as seven others where near by. She picked up her bag and looked to see her team facing Sasuke, Shikamaru, and Shino.
"Ya they got a loser a fatty and an ugly mute! What good will they're team do?!" That annoying voice came out of the pink haired banshee herself, Haruno Sakura. She was next to her teammates Yamanaka Ino and Hyuuga Hinata. She could yell out a come back but as she heard Shikamaru say "too troublesome".
She walked out ignoring the looks she was getting.
'So I'm in a team with an Inuzuka and Akimichi...that's weird I thought that the old man would keep the old Ino-Shika-Cho formation as well as team the Hyuuga, Aburame and Inuzuka together for a tracking team. I wonder what he has in mind...well like Sasuke said he teamed the drop outs together as well as the smartest and the girls. Well the girls' team could be used as spies and everyone knows how well Team geniuses will work but what about us? Were we the left overs?' Her train of thought was interrupted by two presences coming up from behind.
'Well three if you count Akamaru.' She mused.
"Yo! So you're Uzumaki Kyoko. Nice to meet you I'm Akimichi Chouji." She nodded at the large boy as the Inuzuka introduced himself.
"I'm Inuzuka Kiba and this is my partner Akamaru." He gave a smirk as Akamaru barked. She watched as they sat down.
"So...are you really mute?" Chouji asked taking out a bento box.
"No." She replied. "Then why don't you ever talk? You're always by yourself reading." She swallowed her rice before answering.
"I don't talk because I have no one to talk to." She kept her eyes on her food every time she answered.
"And I always thought you where a moody nerd." Kiba replied. Kyoko looked at him and shrugged. "So where a team..." Chouji started trying to change the subject.
"I see you three are getting along well." The three turned to see a man with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Sarutobi...Asuma-sensei." Kyoko replied turning back to her rice balls (1).
"So this is my new team. Okay tell me your names, likes, dislikes and future dreams." The three looked at him as he sat down.
"It's only polite if you say something yourself." Kyoko answered causing Asuma to nod.
"True. My name is Sarutobi Asuma. I like a lot of things as well as hate a couple of things. My dreams for the future I guess...like many men my age my dream is to start a family and settle down..." He grinned and motioned for Chouji to start first.
"I'm Akimichi Chouji I like food and my friends. I hate people who judge others on their appearance and skill rather then get to know them and then judge them. My dream for the future is to become a great shinobi." Kyoko thought about a couple of things.
'Chouji seems nice and our sensei didn't give out anything that wasn't obvious...' She smiled as she listened to Kiba's intro.
"I'm Inuzuka Kiba and this here is Akamaru. I like training and playing fetch. I hate people who just get in the way. My dream is to become a great shinobi and be a great and powerful clan head." Asuma nodded and looked at the only girl in the group.
"My name is Uzumaki Kyoko...I like...well lets see..." She put a finger to her chin before continuing. "I dislike...um...well nothing comes to mind right now and my dream...hm...I had lots of dreams like to take an orange treasure from a cyclops one day." Her teammates looked at her weird while Asuma sweat dropped.
'I highly doubt Kakashi will let you get near his precious book.' "Well you all seem interesting. Now let's get to the point. Tomorrow will decide if you're really going to be my team or if you're going to have to return to the academy." At this Kiba got up knocking his food over.
"WHAT!? THEN WHAT WAS THE POINT IN THE GRADUATION EXAM!?" Kyoko who was thinking after her sensei was interrupted spoke up.
"To see who had the potential to actually make it through the real test." Asuma nodded. 'It seems the reports on her where wrong about her being mute.' Asuma thought as he explained the test, time and meeting place before dismissing them.
"Well they look like a bright group. I wonder if they'll actually pass."
-------------
Kyoko woke up early the next morning after knocking out her ninth clock. She followed her usual routine: wake up, kill clock, stretch and take shower, change, eat and leave.
The sky was dark and no one was out, but it was 5:00. She was walking down the long lonely road thinking about random things when suddenly her routine came to mind.
'Kill clock, take shower, change, eat and leave...oh snap! I ate! Asuma-sensei told us not to eat!...well what he doesn't know won't hurt him.' She smiled and hurried her way to the training grounds.
After an hour she was joined by her teammates and teacher.
"Okay now that everyone's here I will explain the test again. I have two bells. These bells are your objective you have to get one by this afternoon so you can pass. Those who fail to get one will be tied to the post and watched as we eat lunch and as well fail this test and be sent back to the academy. Now on my mark...go!" All three genin disappeared.
Kyoko had found Chouji and the two hid behind some bushes and watched Asuma.
"Your thinking about the test, aren't you?" She asked not looking away.
"Well it does seem a bit weird. But what do you think?" He asked looking at her.
"Well I first thought carefully in what Asuma-sensei said and somehow it didn't make sense. I mean why would the jounin split up a team that Iruka-sensei said was required for us to accomplish mi-" She stopped as the answer hit her.
The round boy looked at the girl concerned.
"That's it! This test is made to test how well we work together!" She said turning to him. Chouji thought and soon it made sense.
"Let's go find Kiba!" He said standing up only to be pulled down.
"We found him." She sighed pointing to the boy fighting Asuma.
"Oh man! Now what are we going to do?" Kyoko put her thumb to her lips and nibbled it a small habit she made when she was little and had to think hard.
"I got it! Even though Kiba doesn't know the true purpose of the test we could still manipulate the situation to make it look like he does!" Chouji looked confused but she explained the plan.
"Got it?" Chouji nodded and the two turn back to the match anticipating their opening and finally it came. Asuma punched Kiba sending him flying into Akamaru. Just as Asuma pulled back from the punch the ground was surrounded by a huge shadow. He looked up and saw a huge boulder like object, an Akimichi boulder to be more exact. He jumped out of the way and watched as Chouji dismissed his jutsu and joined Kiba's side.
He waited for them to attack or for the girl to attack only for the two boys and one dog to be swallowed by black mist and disappear. He had never seen a technique like that and was taken a bit off guard as leaves began to swirl all around him. He smirked and dispelled the genjutsu only to find himself surrounded by the black mist. He tried dispelling it but found that it wasn't genjutsu. Thanks to the mist he couldn't see it, but he did feel it...Chouji had done his Human Bullet Tank technique and landed on him the pressure was to much and he was out cold.
"Hmm...Maybe we should have had Kiba and Akamaru attack..." Kyoko mused as she canceled the mist.
"What was that?" Kiba asked.
"What? Oh that was my Hazy Demon Mist technique. I'll explain when Asuma-sensei wakes up." She explained. Chouji came back with both bells. When he and Kiba where 'swallowed' by the mist they had been talking to each other and Chouji had quickly explained the purpose of the test.
"Good work Chouji-kun! Now all we do is wait for Asuma-sensei to wake up!" Chouji blushed at the kun but nodded in agreement.
"I have a better idea..." Kiba said with a smirk. The two looked at him confused.
"We have about an hour before he wakes up and he only brought two bento's...so what we do is-" He explained his plan and in the end Chouji was nodding furiously while Kyoko sighed but admitted it was a good prank.
Asuma awoke to find himself bound to a log. He looked around and found his students sitting in front of him eating and talking. He stared at the food, it wasn't the bento boxes he had brought those where already empty and sitting next to the Akimichi. No they where eating some barbecue meat and the aroma was making his mouth water. Sure he had something to eat but it was a light breakfast after all he had assumed that the three would fail and he would get to eat the bento himself.
His stomach growled and this alerted the group.
"Neh Asuma-sensei do we pass?" Chouji asked.
"You can't say no after everything we did." Kiba stated pointing his chopsticks at his teacher.
"Your right I can't say no. Well I'm glad to say that Team Eight is now official!" Chouji and Kiba do their own victory thing while Kyoko cleans up everything.
"We'll guys see ya tomorrow!" With that the three part ways leaving a hungry and upset sensei tied to a log.
