Chapter 1:
Team Seven
I stared into space dreaming of sitting in a field, laying on my back and staring at the clouds pass by, the sweat smell of flowers all around me, when suddenly the weather changed and its a downpour, lighting and thunder, lighting nearly striking my head. I jolt awake and turn around, I hadn't been spacing out...I had actually fallen asleep. I wiped the drool of the side of my face onto my sleeve and turned to my left. There sat my best friend, his blonde spiky hair, only kept back a pair of green goggles. I stretched my arms, pulling them above my head. The blonde boy next to me had fallen asleep too, I nudged him awake as our Sensei looked suspiciously up at us.
"Naruto...Get up!" I whispered to him, now punching him in the ribs to keep him from going back to sleep.
"Ow...geeze Saaya, want to be a little rougher?" He complained, running his hands through his blonde spikes, no not blonde, yellow. They were definitely yellow. I laughed.
"I will be if you go back to sleep." Smiling sweetly to him, I turned back to Iruka Sensei who was explaining something about genin exams.
"Today, I will be splitting you all into the teams you will be in from here on out." I held my breath,
'Please be with Naruto' I thought. I turned to him; he smiled and closed his eyes thinking something too.
'Please let me be with Sakura!' He turned; I thought he was looking at me, until I realized he was really looking at the back of the room where a girl with long, beautiful pink hair sat. I cringed, if I was in a group with her I might have to kill myself with a Kunai knife. This was my third year that I would be taking the exam. Granted, I had passed it all three years, it was Naruto who didn't. And since we live together and he is basically my other half, in more ways than one, I decided I didn't want to leave him all by himself. Besides, what was another couple years? But that Sakura Haruno, she was smart alright, but she had no physical skills, none, zip, and zero. She could put fifty theories out per second but could she perform any of them? I highly doubted it. And she only seemed to care about her looks, with her long, flowing hair and her pretty little outfit and ribbon on her head. The excess girlishness made me sick how girly she was.
"Please, don't let me be with Sasuke!!" Naruto thought. I turned to Naruto who seemed to have just thought something about Sasuke Uchiha because he turned around to the boy who was sitting right behind up, next row up, and scowled at him. Sasuke merely looked down upon him like he wasn't even worth the glare and returned his gaze to Iruka Sensei who had a big clipboard in his hand.
"Alright...Team one is..." He went on until he hit team seven. "And now for team seven…" Most of the class had left already since they knew their groups and had been given their meeting places for where they would meet their sensei's tomorrow. "Team seven will consist of Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki..." I cringed...hoping those two didn't get stuck together without me between them like always. "Sakura Haruno...and..." I shut my eyes...waiting..."And Saaya Hiwatari." I exhaled deeply, turning to Naruto who was staring at Sakura who was staring at Sasuke who seemed to be staring at me as if saying "I swear to god if you don't keep that yellow haired freak away from me Ill kill you." I just glared back. I didn't take threats from anyone, least of all Mr. depressing with the chicken but hair.
Iruka Sensei told us we would be meeting tomorrow in this classroom with Kakashi Sensei. None of us seemed to know who he was, so we went home expecting to get some wimp who would be freaked out to see four teenage kids and have to teach them things...or who expected to be able to teach them things. Either way, tomorrow was bound to be interesting.
