------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A young girl around the age of fifteen sat under a near by old tree, the silent pounding of rain on the light green grass the only life that surrounded the young girl. She was stiff as a board, just watching the rain fall silently, until a small movement moved her head to look down at her lap.
On her damp lap, laid a small golden retriever puppy. Her best friend and training partner who stuck with her on this cold raining afternoon. She put her hand ontop of the puppy's head. A small comfort like she was telling him she wanted to stay out a little longer. The puppy put his head down back on her thigh and blinked back the rain that was slowly dripping down it's soaked forehead.
There was always something about the rain that made the young girl want to sit and just watch it, like the rain held some kind of secret that was just begging to be discovered. Except, when she stares at the falling moisture, the secret remains unclear, and she is left in the thinck thoughts in the back of her mind.
She looked up at the dark cloudy sky and confirmed that it was going to rain for some time now. With a small drawn out sigh, she placed her hand on the patiantly waiting pup's head and blinked her light green eyes. A signal to tell him that it was time to go. The puppy raised to his four paws and the young girl shotrly followed after, raising her arms to the air to stretch the stiff limbs.
The puppy let out a small bark, causing the young girl to look down at him, a smile coming to her thin features.
"Good boy." She spoke, her voice as soft as the rain padding on the grass. But the puppy heard it and wagged it's small tail, rippling through it's small muscular body.
Without another word, the young girl slowly treked away from her spot under the old tree, heading towards her village. The Konoha village.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ne, Sierra-chan!"
The young girl looked up from her spot on the ground, smiling as she waved towards her blonde teammate, Naruto Uzamaki who just rested on the tree over her head.
"Good morning Naruto-kun!" She greeted back and the blonde's grin reached from ear to ear, before jumping down to the spot next to her. She smiled more and crossed her arms over her chest, giving him a questioning stare. The blonde was thirty minutes early then the time her team was supposed to be meeting on the bridge. It was a little unnerving. "Er...you're early Naruto-kun?...Why?"
Naruto smirked and thrusted his fist into his chest. "I'm going to beat Sasuke-teme here before he comes--"
Sierra bit the bottom of her lip, cutting the blonde off by clearing her throat. She pointed behind the blonde, rubbing the back of her neck to hold back the feeling of laughing in front of his face.
The blonde whirled around and there, leaning on the railing was Sasuke Uchiha with his arms crossed over his chest, his black eyes staring at the ground in a permanate scowl. He arrived on the spot before Sierra did. And that was a full thirty minutes ago.
Naruto's jaw dropped and he pointed an accusing finger at the Uchiha, screaming, "YOU CHEATED -TEME!!"
"Hn." was the reply the blonde got, making him even angrier.
Before tha blonde could speak anymore, a puppy launched itself at the unsuspecting blonde's ankle, bitting down as hard as he could. There was a moment of tense silence, and Sierra, being the smart one, put her hands over her ears.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! IT'S EATING MY LEG!!"
All the bird's in a three mile radius, took off into the air, squaking about how loud human's could be in their language.
A sweatdrop appeared on the back of Sierra's head and she removed her hands from her ears, since the blonde was now trying to tear the puppy off his ankle by swinging his leg up and down hysterically. She feared for the puppies life instead of her teammates ankle, which at this point was beginning to pour with blood by the way he was swinging his leg repeatedly.
"Hikaru! Down!" Sierra ordered, and just like that, the puppy released his hold on Naruto's ankle, being thrown to the side, but from the long months of training, landed with perfect ease on the ground, prancing to his master a second later.
On the otherhand, Naruto was sitting on the ground, babying his sore ankle, an occassional, "I hate that dog, " being heard through his rivers of tears running down his face.
"Hn, Dobe." Sasuke voiced up, glancing his cold eyes over at the whimpering blonde. Part of him still couldn't believe he was paired up with the world's weakest nin in the whole village. It was only his cursed luck.
Naruto was to busy crying about his ankle, which by this point was spurting blood everywhere, and Sierra sighed, looking down at her training friend with a
'I-can't-believe-you-did-this-again', look.
"Ne! What's with all the yelling this morning? Don't you all know what time it is?" A familiar voice complained and Sierra lifted her head to see her other teammate, Sakura Haruno, walking across the bridge. By the way the young nin girl was rubbing her eyes, Sakura seemed to have not had a good nights sleep.
"Good morning Sakura-chan. Didn't sleep well?" Sierra asked, still ignoring the fact that Naruto's blood was spurting within inches of her sandals.
The pink haired girl shook her head and a long yawn proved the answer to her. "No, Mom was nagging about me not doing my chores because of our training. So she made me do all of them last night. I only had a couple of hours of sleep."
Sierra nodded and silently thanked the heaven's that she lived alone. That was one pro of not having any parents.She could forget about chores all she wanted.
Another yawn came from the florescent color haired girl and she asked no one in particular, "I wonder if Sensai is going to be late today? I want to go home early today."
Sierra gave her a deadpanned look and said, "I doubt it."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sierra flipped out of the way of at least twenty shuriken, Hikaru jumping in to save her from a shuriken into her face by catching it with a growl.
"That's cheating Sasuke-teme!!!" Naruto yelled from the side lines as Sasuke charged towards the somewhat dazed short haired brunnette, who was pulling out a shuriken from her leg. Blood spurt out of the wound when she yanked it out, but she was to much in the heat of battle to notice the pain.She looked up and saw Sasuke charging towards her and knew she wouldn't be able to dodge any of his frontal attacks unless she wanted a shuriken lodged into her side. Kakashi-sensai wasn't kidding when he said that this was prelimenary death match. Why he was making the team do this was beyond Sierra's mind. All she knew was that she'd better start thinking lodgical or she will be severly hurt by the end of this battle.
Hikaru barked and she glanced down at him in a split second before nodding. It didn't take her a second to understand what the bark was for.
"Come on, Hikaru!" She ran towards Sasuke and just as they were about to collide, Sierra pulled back, Hikaru launching in front of her with his teeth bared. Sasuke didn't have a chance to pull back since he wasn't expecting Hikaru to launch at him. Instead, he ducked down, Hikaru still clamping his jaws on the front of his shirt collar, just as Sierra took the moment of confusion to deliver a round kick to Sasuke's head.
Sierra watched on as Sasuke flew backwards and flip in the air, landing on his feet. Hikaru landed with a thump on the grass, before launching at him again, this time his teeth bared towards Sasuke's shoulder. The puppy didn't want to actually hurt the Genin, since the pup knew that this wasn't anything life threatening that could hurt him or his master.
But Sasuke saw the pup launch at him and dodged the puppy before pulling out at least four kunai's throwing them at Hikaru. Suddenly a dark brown blur shot out in front of the dog, disappearing in front of Sasuke's eyes.
On the sidelines, Sakura gasped and she yelled, "Where'd they go?"
"I don't see them!" Naruto yelled out to know one in particular and Kakashi-sensai, who was watching the fight besides his two students, saw a fast blur of brown appear before disappearing near Sasuke.
"You all know of Sierra's speed. It has just doubled with the help of chakra in her feet." He voiced and Sakura looked over at him, finding it hard to miss the fight before her. She has never seen Sierra get so worked up from a spar with Sasuke. "But we can't see her, Kakashi-sensai!"
"That's the whole point." "Huh? What's that supposed to mean?Sensai I don't get it!" Naruto yelled, scratching the back of his neck.
Kakashi sighed inwardly and refrained from slapping his hand on his forehead. Naruto can be just as stupid as a rock sometimes. It's amazing how he can put up with the blonde.
Suddenly, Kakashi said, "If I were you Naruto I would duck, right about--" Too late. Sasuke slammed back first into naruto, the two of them being thrown about a foot away from where Sakura sat. "Sasuke!!" The Kuniochi yelled, seeing her long time crush being thrown like he was a peice of paper and jumped to her feet, about to run to his aid, when Kakashi threw his arm ut, stopping the girl from taking half a step.
"This battle isn't done yet." The Jounin stated and she gasped, before looking back over to where Sasuke and Naruto were. Naruto was laying on the ground with his butt in the air and circling circles for his eyes, but Sasuke on the other hand rose to his feet wiping a trinkle of blood falling from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.
He was mad. No worse then mad. He was homosuidal. No one and that means no one was going to get the better of Sasauke Uchiha and that went for some girl with her pet dog. Maybe he wasn't allowed to use any type of Jutsu, but he was going to show everyone how well his Taijutsu was.
Sierra panted as she stood hunched over some and Hikaru barked. She used most of her chakra on her top speed to be unseen but as expected when she thought of it the last minute, all she cared about was Hikaru and his safety.
She cleared her throat and stood up straighter, braceing the glare she was receiving from Sasuke as he looked over at her from the spot she threw him. Hikaru growled and she looked down at her pup. He hunched down so his chest hair brushed against the grass and his teeth gleamed in the sun. He wasn't backing down and knowing that, Sierra took a step back bringing her fists into a ready positions. Kakashi-sensai wanted to see them at their best and so they were going to show it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A slick gleaming kunai was poised under her chin as she stood in a defensive stance, panting like she had just ran a a hundred miles around in a circle. Technically she had, but it was all the more rewarding holding onto a kunai that was positoned under Sasuke's throat. They were tied, both of them positioned in the place to kill.
They were both panting and sweat beaded down their forehead, their forehead protector slipping down some on their forehead.
Tension could even be felt radiating off each of them, or that at least it seemed that way to Sierra. She didn't like the feeling either way. It made her feel like she needed revenge, and she had no reason to. She proved herself already in front of the whole team that she was capable of tieing up Sasuke Uchiha, the genin that was a prodagy to all the girl's in the village. Boy where all the girl's going to hate her for marking up his 'beautiful' face. She did give him a good enough punches square in the face. He did the same to her, so they were even, so she was happy.
"Alright you two, you both did well."
At first, Sierra didn't hear her sensai and stared down at Sasuke with narrowed eyes. There was something about the feeling he was radiating off him that made her feel that something dark was lurking in his features. It wasn't until she felt a hand being placed on her shoulder that she snapped out of her thoughts of what the dark feeling could be, and looked up at Kakashi-sensai, retracting her hand with a slight blush.
"Gomen." She apologized, rubbing the back of her neck and the blush excaladed with a loud yell from the loud mouth blonde on the sidelines, "You just kicked Sasuke-teme's ass!!"
"Naruto!" Sakura slammed her fist into the back of the said blonde's head for swearing in front of kakashi-sensai and also for saying Sasuke had his butt handed to him. Even if Sierra was a good friend to her, she wouldn't let Naruto get away with telling everyone that they know he was even with Sasuke.
Sierra smiled and Hikaru, who joined her at her feet a second ago, barked as he saw his torture toy, at least that's what Sierra thought, was being tortured again. She was the one that had to wrap up Naruto's ankle since she didn't want the bridge to become stained with more of his blood.
Realizing that she was still holding a kunai in her hand, she quickly discarded it in her ninja pack and asked, "Kakashi-sensai, are we done with training?"
The silver haired Jounin looked down at her and nodded, before turning towards the rest of his Genin's. He dismissed them and Hikaru jumped into her arms, with a bark. They both were tired and Hikaru clearly showed he didn't want to walk all the way home. She didn't say anything about the added weight in her wounded leg and yawned, rubbing the puppies head with a affectionate hand.
