Meet and Greet
"Okay guys, that's enough, stop for a moment. I have something important to tell you and somebody for you to meet." Sakura stopped watching Naruto and Sasuke spar. Both boys continued to fight with just a glance at their sensei. "I said stop. Not continue." Sasuke sighed and knocked Naruto to the ground.
"You heard him, stop…dope." Sasuke then walked over to where Sakura was and sat down. Naruto turned red and started to yell at Sasuke but Kakashi cleared his throat and shook his head. "That's enough Naruto. Now, are paying attention? Good."
"Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke…I want you to meet our newest member of team 7…Arene." Kakashi said, pointing to a person in a black cloak underneath a large tree.
"But Kakashi-sensei…" Sakura questioned. "I thought we were put in sects of three. Why would there be a fourth in a squad? What would that do for us?"
"Sakura…" Kakashi looked at her. "We are put in squads of three for a reason, but in this case, a fourth is…lets just say it's required. Wink Don't worry; I don't believe that Arene here will be interested in Sasuke." Blushing, Sakura looked away from Kakashi and glanced at Sasuke, who, in turn, ignored her.
"HEY, Kakashi-sensei! Why doesn't she say anything? What's her name? Irene?" Naruto blurted, excited that this person could respect him.
"Arene, not Irene, Naruto." Kakashi corrected. "But for talking, she doesn't do much of. She just watches and makes mental notes of everything she sees. Right Arene?" They looked over at the tree. Wearing a hood on her head, the squad could not see her face. But when Kakashi said her name, the hood turned and faced them.
Kakashi laughed, "You see guys, I don't know anyone who is a better silent fighter. Zabuza would not be even close to her. Arene is mentally and physically fit. And her chakra level, well…you'll see."
"Kakashi-sensei, is she that good?" Naruto asked. "She doesn't look all that."
"Hmn, let's have our own little exam. I'll let you choose Naruto. Do you want the Bells or a 1 on 1 match?"
"1 on 1!"
"Okay, Sakura vs. Arene; Naruto vs. Sasuke. Is that okay Arene?" The squad started. Arene was next to them, staring at Sakura. Well, the hood was still on, but the hood was facing Sakura. After a moment, the hood moved and looked at Kakashi. "Good, ready? Begin!!"
