Black and White

… Hi? Uh, R&R?

-----------------------------------------

" I've got everything… guess I can make my way back…" A pink haired spirit murmured happily.

" Sakura…" A voice called from the shadows. " Goddess of love…"

" Who's there?" Sakura turned sharply.

Silence.

The goddess decided to ignore it and walked on. Surely it was nothing… right?

Wrong.

-----------------------------------

" Team seven; Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, Yamanaka Ino." Iruka called.

" But, Iruka-sensei! Why did I have to get stuck with THAT loser of a ninja!" Naruto got up and began whining.

" Shut up Uzumaki!" A fist landed promptly on the loudmouth's head. He dropped down, revealing the blonde Ino.

" Tch. You poor loser." Sasuke smirked.

" WHAT DID YOU SAY?"

" Settle down already! I need to finish calling out the teams!"

--------------------------------------

" Hiii, Sasuke-kun! I was wondering if-"

" No."

" Oh, then how about-"

" No."

" Okay, then can we-"

" NO."

" Just shut up Ino!" Naruto groaned. " You're going to kill Sasuke-teme."

" WHAT DID YOU CALL HIM!?" She shrieked.

" Okay, okay! Sorry!" Naruto backed away nervously, bumping into someone.

" You should watch where you're going." A silver haired, masked face appeared over Naruto's head.

" OH DEAR KAMIKAZE SAVE ME!!" Naruto shrieked.

" Idiot…" Ino muttered. Sasuke rolled his eyes and continued to walk past.

" Woah, woah there. I'm Hatake Kakashi, your squad leader." Kakashi opened his eyes. Sasuke stopped, but continued to walk.

" Like I care."

" Well, it's a good thing you're walking exactly where I need you three to!" The Jounin grinned. I wonder if you could figure that out, mask and all.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A small, petite body fell from the sky. A rather holy glow surrounded her, and though unconscious, she knew she was alive. Her pink hair floated in front of her as she fell, and she wondered if she would live.

'Of course I'll live.' She coaxed herself. 'I'm a goddess.'

But deep inside, she knew what happened just now was utterly devastating and she was now helpless.

A mortal.

She blinked, and slowly opened her eyes. That small miracle didn't last long, however, as a split second later her body made contact with the ground. She sighed, and passed out.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

" ALL RIGHT!! I'M GOING TO PASS THIS TEST AND PROVE THAT I'M THE BEST NINJA OF ALL TIME! HAH!" Naruto raised a finger at his new sensei. Kakashi ignored it.

" All right, I want each of you to tell me a little about yourselves before we start on our 'exercise.' You can start." The man nodded at Ino. The girl smiled pleasantly.

" Well, my name is Yamanaka Ino first of all. Quite an attractive name, isn't it?" She grinned. " My favorite thing to do is… My hobby… I…." She looked over to the raven-haired ninja and blushed. Kakashi sweat dropped.

" Looks like all girls can think about at this age is boys…" He muttered. "Next!"

" My name is Uzumaki Naruto! My favorite food is Ramen, what I hate most is waiting for ramen, what I love most is a cup of ramen…"

" Interesting kid, this boy…" Kakashi muttered.

" And I'm going to be the best ninja in the world!" He finished with a wide grin. Kakashi's eyes widened.

" I was right! And you, with the scowl!"

" My name is Uchiha Sasuke. I have no hobbies, nothing I love most, nothing I hate, except…

The one I want to kill."

" Interesting…" Hatake Kakashi chuckled nervously.

" What about you?" Naruto frowned. " We don't know ANYTHING about you yet!"

" Oh yes, my name is Hatake Kakashi."

Silence.

" That's it?"

" Time for our exercise!"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" See these bells?" The man held up two, small bells. He made sure everyone saw him, then attached them to himself. " Your goal is to steal them from me. If you do not come at me with the intent to kill, you will fail. Got it?" He stared at them. They all gulped. With the exception of the Uchiha, of course.

" But, Sensei, why are there only two bells? There are three of us." Ino pointed out. Kakashi grinned.

" Smart girl we have here." (NOT!) " You have to get these bells before lunch. The one of you that doesn't get a bell will be tied to a stump and will not be able to eat these bento boxes, okay?"

" HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!"

A flash.

Smoke.

And dust.

When the smoke cleared, Kakashi was holding Naruto at an arm's length, smiling.

" I didn't say go, okay? But at least you came at me with the intent to kill. That's good enough for me."

" So this is a Jounin's full power." Sasuke grinned. " Interesting."

" GO!"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" That idiot." Sasuke grinned. Naruto was charging at the Jounin headfirst. The smart thing to do, he decided, was to find a good position and use a surprise attack. That would surely get him. He hopped off a tree branch and landed on the ground. He began to walk on the soft grass, looking for a good place. He smirked to his-self, guessing Naruto was having no success and Ino was still dreaming.

" Ow!" he nearly tripped over something. Looking down, he saw a person on the ground, unconscious. He bent down to check her pulse. Good, she was still alive. But then again, he thought, why do I care? But something made him stay.

---------------------------------------------------------------

I opened my eyes. Oh, I should have never gone out so late. Now I'm dead, and stuck as a mortal until my powers return. I sat up.

" Where am I?"

" You're awake. That was quick." A cold, metallic voice sounded from behind me. I sharply turned around to see a raven-haired boy, but winced immediately. I managed to see the headband he wore, though. He must be a ninja.

" Ow…" I grit my teeth and rubbed my wound. My hand passed over it instinctively and began to heal it. I knew it was no big deal, as they had medics down here, and the only difference was that I had more chakra. Of course, this genin couldn't sense it. Heheh.

" Why do you have such a large amount of chakra?"

Damn.

" Luck, I guess." I panicked slightly. He didn't notice. Sheesh, that stuck up boy.

" You seem pretty weak, though you have so much chakra. What a waste." My temper flared up.

" Who are you calling WEAK, Uchiha Sasuke?" I demanded. I stopped short, realizing that I shouldn't know his name, but he shrugged it off. I guess he's popular or something. He's the hardest person I've ever tried to make fall in love.

" You couldn't touch me in your state." He continued. " We have to get you to a hospital."

" I can heal myself, thank you very much." I spat. Concentrating my chakra, I let out some of my pink chakra and immediately all my scratches disappeared. He looked at me, interested.

" Follow me."
