Well, this is my first fanfiction, and I think I did pretty well. Yumi is my OC, but I tried to make her have some character, unlike some other horribly written OC fanfictions I've read. I hope you like the story too.

This story is inspired by a fanfiction called: It Can't Be Possible Can It? It's pretty good so you should read it! AFTER mine of course :P. Now I'll stop stalling you and let you read!

Chapter I: The Teams

Uindo Yumi sauntered down a shady path to the Academy, wondering what 3-man cell she would be assigned to. The teachers wouldn't say, and she was burning with curiosity. She quicked her pace, and upon arriving at the gates, strode past them and down to her classroom. The first person she saw when she entered the room was Naruto, mindlessly staring ahead and looking like so carefree it was like he was floating. Yumi wasn't surprised he had passed, although he had failed the test before. Naruto was the type of guy who would never give up, and here was the result

"Ohayo Naruto," she greeted warmly, "congrats on passing."

"Oh, hey Yumi" Naruto replied, turning his head around. "How did you know?"

"Well, considering the fact that you're in this room with a hitai-ate on your head, you had to have passed." She said, laughing softly at Naruto's expression.

A loud pink-haired girl interrupted them rudely, saying smugly, "May I pass?"

Yumi sighed. She knew all about Sakura's huge pathetic crush on Sasuke, and she didn't even need her kekkai genkai. It was extremely obvious. Naruto gave Sakura an admiring look, and Yumi took note of this. She wondered if Naruto liked Sakura. Gee, that would complicate things…

"Move it, Naruto-baka!" she shouted.

Yumi winced; this girl disgusted her. She was supposed to be smart, but she didn't even realize how much her harsh words hurt people.

"Oh, so her mighty highness wants me and Naruto to move so she can sit next to Sasuke?" Yumi said sweetly, an obviously fake smile plastered on her face.

"Yes, I would actually," Sakura retorted, with an equally, if not greater, fake smile on her face.

"Well, go piss off you selfish girl." Yumi snapped, her temper rising, "Just because you have a huge crush on Sasuke doesn't mean the whole world bows down to your every whim."

"What?! You rude baka!" she shouted.

"If you want to sit next to your one true love so bad, go pull up a chair. I'm not moving."

Yumi turned away from the appalled Sakura only to find Naruto crouching in front of Sasuke, their faces inches away from each other. They were glaring at each other so intensely you could almost see the electricity crackling between their eyes.

"Naruto you jerk, leave Sasuke alone!" Sakura yelled loudly. She wasn't the only one. A whole herd of girls had gathered, and they were all yelling at Naruto.

Pathetic, Yumi thought, shaking her head.

Yumi couldn't hear what Naruto and Sasuke were saying over the yells of the girls, but when she saw a boy in front of them move his elbow, she knew all too well what disaster would commence.

"Naruto, no, wait—" she said weakly.

Too late. Naruto was shoved forward onto Sasuke and Yumi looked away as their lips met.

All the girls looked shocked and appalled, and also jealous. They had wanted Sasuke's first kiss; that much was obvious.

"Hey, Sasuke, I didn't know you swung that way." Yumi teased, smirking heavily, "You too Naruto. You should have at least openly admitted it, so you wouldn't get these poor ladies hopes up." She started laughing as both boys gagged, trying to get the taste out of their mouths.

"It was an accident! I swear!" Naruto yelled desperately to Sakura.

"Naruto…" Sakura growled. Naruto looked up hopefully. "You make me sick!" she shouted.

She clenched her hands into a fist and brought it in to punch Naruto, when Yumi, so quick nobody even saw her move, blocked it easily with one hand. Yumi glared at her, disgust evident in her eyes.

"Naruto said it was an accident." Yumi said, ice dripping from every word, and her eyes flashing dangerously. Sakura backed away in fright. "Get over it. Beating up Naruto when it wasn't even his fault will not make anything better, and reacting that way to a problem is immature and childish. Grow-up, and go away."

Now everyone in the room, even Sasuke, had their eyes on Yumi and Sakura, wondering what Sakura's reaction would be. To everyone's surprise, she turned around and stomped off, muttering angrily to herself, and the rest of the girls followed suit. All eyes turned to Yumi, who was simply sat there and started staring at the ceiling, a smirk evident on her face. Works every time, she thought smugly.

Iruka-sensei walked in and grabbed everyone's attention away from Yumi. He started his speech. "From this day forward, you are no longer mere students on ninjutsu, but full-fledged shinobi. But, among the ranks of the shinobi, you are mere novices, lowest of the low. You greatest challenges all lie ahead. The next step is the assignment of official duties to you all on behalf of our village. We will begin by dividing you into three-man cells. Each of which will be mentored by a jounin, a more senior ninja, who will guide you and coach you as you become familiar with your various assignments." Yumi nodded her head impatiently; she wanted to get on with the cells already! "I made the selections so that each cell's abilities would be approximately equal," he explained as he began reading off the cells. After a couple of minutes of reading, he announced, "Next, cell number 7: Haruno Sakura, Uzumaki Naruto," Naruto let out a cheer as Sakura looked downhearted, "…Uchiha Sasuke," This time Sakura screamed for joy while Naruto sulked and Yumi rolled her eyes "…and Uindo Yumi.". Yumi looked up, interested. I'm in a 4-man cell? she thought, bemused, With a selfish snob, an ice-cold Sasuke, and a loud Naruto? This could get interesting…

"Why do I have to be in a four-man cell with…Yumi" Sakura complained, glaring at Yumi and saying the name with a tone that most people would use to refer to a rabid rat.

"Thank you for referring to me so kindly, Sakura" Yumi said sarcastically.

"Sakura," Iruka started patiently, "we couldn't divide everyone evenly into groups of three, so I thought it would be best if I balanced out your team with Yumi."

"Iruka-sensei!" Naruto yelled angrily at his teacher, "What were you thinking of, saddling a most excellent shinobi like myself with that loser Sasuke!"

"Of the twenty eight of you, Sasuke has the best grades, Naruto," Iruka responded, his patience running thin, "While you had the lowest. The idea is to balance your different strengths...that's why you ended up together!" he finished as many of the students erupted into laughter.

"Hmm...Just don't drag me down...dunce!" Sasuke smirked at Naruto.

"What'd you call me?!" Naruto shouted threateningly.

"Just knock it off, Naruto!" Sakura yelled at Naruto.

Yumi rolled her eyes again and sighed dejectedly Oh, this will definitely be a long day…

"OK, everyone," Iruka-sensei announced over everyone's voices, "I'll be introducing your senior ninjutsu instructors this afternoon. Until then, you're dismissed!"

Biting into some sweet dango up top a cherry tree, Yumi sighed happily. She loved dango, and never seemed to get enough of it. She stared dreamily up at the sky as a cool breeze danced around, when she suddenly sensed Sasuke's presence nearing her. She automatically looked down to find him staring up at her.

"Do you want something Sasuke?" she asked indifferently.

"Yeah," he replied coolly. "I was wondering if you've seen Naruto."

"Sure I've seen him. After he attacked you, tied you up, and transformed into you, he went over to Sakura to try to get her to say what she thinks about him." she replied just as coolly in one breath, enjoying the astonished look on Sasuke's face.

"How—what—how did you know?" He asked, still shocked.

"Saw it happen from this nice view in the cherry tree!" Yumi said cheerfully. "Quite an interesting lunch show, I must say!"

She could see Sasuke's eyes blazing with irritation, and he demanded, "Why didn't you do anything?"

"Dunno," she shrugged, "Didn't feel like it."

Sasuke gave her a cold stare, which she returned back with just as much force, surprising him. Most of the time, girls would be swooning over him, and trying to get his attention, but Yumi was exactly the opposite. Never had a girl ever acted this indifferent towards him, and although Sasuke didn't really like it, he had to admit it was a lot better than the typical screaming fan-girl.

"Well, now that my peaceful lunch has been interrupted, might as well go look for Naruto." Yumi said, sighing. She quickly shoved the remaining dango in her mouth, and jumped out of the tree, landing gracefully on her feet. "Come one, let's go look for him," she said, looking over her shoulder to Sasuke.

Sasuke, who had not been expecting this reaction, walked alongside her, still a bit perturbed by her un-fan-girl-like behavior.

"You know," Yumi started, "as much as I like Naruto as a friend, this is low." Yumi glanced over at Sasuke, who was giving her an indifferent stare. "Look, if we're going to be on the same team, we might as well get along." Yumi pointed out, and she sighed, "And that includes you not acting like an emotionless rock."

For a fleeting instant, Sasuke looked surprised, but then his cool composure took over, and he nodded silently as they approached Sakura, who had jumped up in her eagerness to talk to Sasuke.

"Sasuke! My sweet, old-fashioned boy!" Sakura squealed, as both Sasuke and Yumi stared at her. "Did you summon up your nerve?! I'm right here, ready and waiting!" she squealed again as Yumi winced.

"Recess is over. Where's that jerk, Naruto?" was Sasuke's cold reply.

"You're changing the subject again!" Sakura said, her voice edged with annoyance. "Can't we get away from Naruto for just one second?! He always comes between us!" Sasuke and Yumi stopped at looked at her.

"It's because he was badly brought up!" Sakura continued, her voice grating on Yumi's nerves. "You know, because he never had any parents? He doesn't have to answer to anyone, ever, and it's made him completely selfish! If I did the kinds of things he gets away with, my parents would ground me for life! Don't you envy him being alone, not having parents nag at you all the time? Kids without families always grow up selfish."

Now Yumi was fuming at Sakura's pigheadedness. You could almost see the steam coming out of her ears.

"That, and lonely," Sasuke said to her, dislike and irritation etched on his face.

"What?" Sakura looked at Sasuke in disbelief.

"Being scolded by your folks doesn't even compare!" Yumi thought she heard a hint of pain and sadness in his hard voice.

"...Wha... What's gotten into you all of a sudden?" Sakura asked, fearful at the disgusted glares she was receiving from the two.

"You…make me sick!" Sasuke said harshly. Yumi agreed wholeheartedly.

They stalked off toward the Academy, leaving a shocked Sakura behind them. But they soon met Naruto, running towards them.

"What are you doing here?!" Naruto yelled at Sasuke.

"A simple rope trick. Any good ninja is an escape artist. Try to keep that in mind...dunce." Sasuke responded, smirking at him.

"That was low Naruto." Yumi said, staring down at Naruto in disappointment. "I expected better from you."

She left the two boys to stare at her as she strolled down to the Academy gates.

"This is Naruto's house, isn't it?" a mysterious person asked the Hokage.

"Yes," the Third responded. "He's clumsy, but you're the best choice to watch him. You have a talent for sniffing things out. What's more, another member of the cell you shall oversee will be Sasuke, of the Uchiha clan, and Uindo Yumi."

"Uindo Yumi, eh?" the person asked musingly.

"Have you heard of her?"

"How could I not?" was his reply. "She and her clan, the Uindo, were among the best in Konoha. Their abilities with wind were legendary, as were their psychic abilities. Yumi was the best and brightest of them all…but then, that tragedy…"

"It's best not to speak about that incident," the Third said softly. "Remember, it's top secret. Nobody is supposed to know other than myself and her."

"Yes, I apologize, Hokage-sama" he said, looking down.

"Look up," The Hokage requested softly, "I'm trusting you with this team. No one else but you will be able to raise them to the best of their abilities. And….oh, yes…" The Third added chuckling, "let's not lie to her. She will no doubt see straight through the deception, and she won't be happy."

"No, indeed," The stranger replied, amusement clear in his voice. "Thank-you for entrusting me with this job, Hokage-sama. I shall not fail you."

The Third nodded, and the mysterious person disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Well, do you like it? Constructive criticism is always appreciated and I'd love for you to tell me what you think. I do hope Yumi's not too much of a know-it-all. If you think she is, tell me and I'll try and fix it. If there are any spelling or grammar errors, tell me! More chapters coming soon! (Well, as soon as I can freakin figure out HOW)

Oh, yeah, and Uindo means wind in Japanese. (What does this tell us about Yumi? READ ON! Ohayo means good morning. If you don't understand Japanese, just ask me what a word means. I'll use Japanese sometimes in my stories so be prepared. Also, if there are these marks :---------------, in the middle of the story, it means that the story is now in a different point of view. This is rare, but watch out anyways!
