Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, the story lines, jutsus etc etc. I do however own all OC's apart from Chiaki who belongs to an old friend of mine. Any resembelence to real people is completely coincendential :)
I originally posted this on quizilla under the username .NO[SUPERMAN so don't say I stole it, 'cause I didn't and it all belongs to me. :) it doesn't really get exciting, or good until a few parts, and it follows the manga. Yeah.
ENJOY!

The foe ninja began to crowd in on the cell; the three man cell- with the missing, dead, sensei. It had been a trick. An awful trick. "Sa-chan... What do we do?" The youngest whispered, clutching to her elder cousins arm. "Sa-chan?"
"SAT-CHAN, OHAYOU!"
I sat up quickly, and stared wide eyed as my young friend, Chiaki, entered my room. Usually, she didn't have a loud mouth on her, a filthy one, not a loud one- that was for sure; but today, she was just excited. It was the day the Genin in the village got put into teams, and I was also going to be placed onto my second team.
Chiaki had a large grin on her face as she bounced to my closet and threw my clothes at me. "Ne, Sat-chan?"
"Uh, hai... Chika-chan?" I asked, standing up from my bed and stretching.
"Do you think we'll get on the same team?" She asked, her eyes glowing with the hope that it would end up like that. "As long as I'm not with that damned Uchiha," she added, spitting his name out.
"Chika-chan," I chuckled, pushing her out of my door. "Go downstairs and calm down."
Chiaki nodded, bounding down the stairs- her long, purple hair flowing behind her. Usually it hid her eyes at the front, but her hitai-ate was tied around her forehead, keeping it back from her eyes. It was probably ideal as well, usually you had to see to be a half decent ninja. Then again, some ninja were able to see without using their eyes.
Chiaki had been my friend for a few years. To be honest, I wasn't even sure how it happened, she was only 12- and I was 17. She usually came bounding around before seven am whenever she didn't have to be at the academy, she had a habit of letting herself in and waking me up every morning with a loud- 'SAT-CHAN, OHAYOU!' I knew perfectly well, however, that she didn't really have any other friends- well, what she classed as friends. My Purple haired friend, preferred to go solo.
"Satu," a quiet voice whispered, making me look up at my younger sister as she entered my room. "Ane-san, we have to be at the academy soon."
"I know, Himeko-chan," I laughed. "I'm just getting changed," I added with a smile. She let a large smile sit on her face, before she walked out and downstairs. Most probably to talk with Chiaki for a while. Himeko was my younger sister, she was only Eight, and was a student at the academy. People always found it was weird she was born, see, my father was killed by the Kyuubi 13 years ago, the village claimed that because my mother was a saint it was a gift from him in the other world.
My mother never told anyone, apart from me the truth. The fact that she had a fling with a man a few years after my father died. She was born shortly after I joined the academy, my mother's boyfriend never stuck around though. My mother got ill and became weak, she couldn't even leave the house, and on some day's she couldn't get up from her bed. It left me the last blood member of the Tanaka clan, and to look after my mother and my sister.
I sighed, putting my black hair up into a knot, before slipping on my usual outfit. I kept my hitai-ate around my neck, but that was mainly because it often fell down anyway. "SAT-CHAN, WE'LL BE LATE!"
"Yare, yare," I mumbled, exiting my room. "Ja ne, Kaa-san!" I didn't wait for a reply, she barely ever replied. She usually slept until lunch time, then I would come back and check on her. I doubt as if I could do it that day though, I would be busy with my new team.
As soon as I entered the kitchen, Chiaki and Himeko smiled, and exited into the streets of Konoha, with me following behind them. It was a rather warm day, so, much to the complaint of my companions, we walked to the academy. "Ne, Sat-chan, we'll be late for orientation."
"No we wont," I sighed, pointing to the large building in front of us. "You seem to forget I only live around the corner, Baka-chan."
Himeko soon left us to find her friends, while Chiaki and I walked towards Iruka's classroom. I felt weird being in the academy again, I hadn't been in there for going on Four years. The students were extremely loud when I entered, and only a few looked up as I entered, one of them being Uchiha Sasuke. "What does Sasu-bastard think he's staring at?" Chiaki mumbled under her breath.
Sasuke was the 'last' Uchiha left. The clan was massacred a few years back, but not many of the young genin really knew anything about it. His hair was more raven, than black but his eyes deffinately were black. He wore a blue shirt with the Uchiha symbol on the back, and white shorts. He was always quiet, but that was more because he was distant of people; who wouldn't be after having their whole family killed?
"Chika-chan, leave him alone," I muttered, taking the seat beside him. I never spoke to him, I didn't even look at him, and he seemed to return the gesture; while Chiaki made a huge fuss about sitting anywhere near him.
"Um, sumimasen," a small voice said, while I looked up at a pink haired girl. "You're aware you're sitting in my seat right?"
"You're seat, Decorin-chan?!" A blonde haired girl hollered. I noticed Chiaki roll her eyes, before banging her head into her arms and groaning.
"That's right, Ino-Pig!"
"Actually, I'm sitting in it, therefore it's my seat," I said, resting my cheek on my hand, and looking at them. "Um...?"
"Haruno Sakura, and Yamanaka Ino," Chiaki mumbled.
"Yamanaka?" I asked, noting the names. The pair seemed curious about me, but they didn't ask anything- therefore I remained silent. Eventually they walked away, and Naruto took the seat next to Chiaki. 'Kyuubi, ka?'
"Anosa, anosa," he spoke up, using a rather loud voice. He seemed rather loud, just from what he was wearing- seeing as it was bright orange. His hair was a bright blonde, and his eyes were the same bright blue as Chiaki's. "Chika-chan, whose the baa-chan?"
Chiaki laughed slightly, answering before I yelled at Naruto for calling me 'old'. "Naruto, this is Tanaka Satsuki. She's a friend of mine, and she isn't old, Naruto."
"Demosa, why is she here? Doesn't she already have a teamttebayo?"
"Naruto, urusai," Chiaki sighed, as Iruka entered the class.
"Okay then, let's get straight to the point then," Iruka said, looking at his clipboard. "You'll be put onto teams of three, with two teams of four," he carried on. "You will be assigned a jounin-sensei and you'll take on missions as the team."
Some of the teams seemed strange really- there was Nara Shikamaru- the lazy genius with Akimichi Chouji, someone who liked food and was always eating, Yamanaka Ino, who was one of Sasuke's 'fangirls' and hated Sakura, and Haruno Sakura, Ino's rival and was probably the biggest 'fangirl' of Sasuke. I found it rather amusing they were on the same team. I doubted they would get along that well.
Another, consisted of Hyuuga Hinata, the silent heir to the Hyuuga clan, with Inuzuka Kiba- very loud and boisterous, along with the rest of the Inuzuka clan he specialised in using ninken- ninja dogs. His was called Akamaru. The last was Aburame Shino, his clan specialised in using bugs- it was rather creepy actually.
"Nanagumi," Iruka said, coming close to the end of the teams. "Uzumaki Naruto, Hatake Chiaki, Uchiha Sasuke-," at this, Chiaki groaned and slouched in her seat while I frowned. "And, Tanaka Satsuki."
"YATTA!" Chiaki yelled, throwing her arms around me. "I wont have to deal with Sasu-baka alone!"
I laughed slightly, and pried her off me. "ANOSA, ANOSA!" Naruto yelled, causing me to raise an eyebrow. "Why does a top-class ninja like me, have to be on a team with a bum like Sasuke?!" He yelled, pointing at Sasuke.
"NARUTO!" Iruka yelled. "Sasuke's grades were top in the class, yours were dead last. We have to even out the power in the team!"
The whole class, apart from Sasuke, Chiaki and myself laughed at Naruto. Sasuke seemed to want to comment, and eventually- did. "Don't slow me down, Usuratonkachi."
Chiaki seemed close to erupt, but Iruka silenced everyone and told us that in the afternoon we'd be assigned our sensei's with our team. Naruto and Chiaki ended up going off together to eat lunch, seeing as she knew I would head home to check on my mother; Sasuke walked off on his own in the complete opposite direction. "Sas-chan," I chuckled slightly, before walking towards my home.
