DISCLAMER: ...DONT MAKE ME SAY IT. .;;

This is a random fic I wanted to write- This chapter doesnt seem like much, but in later chapters, the title and summary will make complete sense.

I promise.

Ahhhhh…..another day in Konohagakure. The leaves blew gently in the gusty wind and rustled in the trees. It was so…….. peaceful.

…Was.

"Exchange program? What do you mean, exchange program?"

Uzumaki Naruto's raspy voice broke the serenity of the day, as usual. Sasuke and Sakura hung their heads in exasperation. They were both thinking along the same lines-

Why us?

Hatake Kakashi turned to face his student. "You three have been selected to go to Sunagakure as part of an once-in-a-lifetime chance to learn under a foreign sensei for a few months. Arts native to their respective lands are sacred, so consider yourselves very lucky."

Sakura looked up to the masked nin. "Why do the nations do this sensei?"

"Same reason as the chunin exams. To foster friendship amongst people of other nations, to balance power, things like that." The silver-haired nin placed his hands in his pockets. "The Sand ninja will be arriving early-today actually. You guys need to pack before tomorrow. You'll be escorted by an ANBU member and introduced to your temporary sensei as soon as you arrive."

All three genin of squad seven looked gloomy.

"Aw, don't be like that guys. It'll be a great experience. Enjoy it while you can."

Kakashi's pep talk didn't lift anybodies' spirits.

Naruto grumbled. "I don't see why we have to be a part of this still."

Sasuke's ears perked up. There was some commotion going on somewhere down along the dusty road that they were standing around on.

"How the heck am I supposed to know why we got sent here?" an angry female voice griped.

"Guys, stop fighting!" another girl said with a mixture of worry and annoyance in her voice.

Not long after this comment, three young girls walked into view. Two of them were glaring at each other angrily while the other stared at them with exasperation. They wore violet Sand village headbands on their bodies.

These were the exchange students.

One kunoichi wore dark leather clothing, fishnet, and some bandaging and had long dark hair. Another had some wild baggy cargo pants, gloves, and some long cranberry colored hair, and the last shinobi of the three had a simple green boat neck top, a neck wrap and pants (which were both black) and long wavy brown hair which was held back by her headband. Locks of her hair that did frame her face though gently smacked her cheeks as she shook her head. The kunoichi looked down the road and were a little surprised to see team 7 staring at them.

The dark-haired kunoichi sneered at Naruto. "What are you staring at, mofo?"

Naruto was a little taken aback at this random insult, but immidiately tried to retort. "Wha-?!"

...but Kakashi cut him off with a wave of his arm.

Naruto pouted with a grumpy aura surrounding him. "Are you really going to teach these guys?"

Kakashi looked from his team (mainly Naruto) to the Sand kunoichi. "Yup." he replied with a light-hearted tone.

He turned to the three girls. "Sorry about him," he began. "Let me introduce myself- I am your temporary sensei, Hatake Kakashi."

The simple-looking girl blinked. Hatake Kakashi? She had never heard of him before this moment, yet...he seemed extremely familiar. That's odd...

The young kunoichi woke from her quick reverie and bowed deeply. "Sorry for that..." The leather-clad girl opened her mouth, but not before the brunette stomped on her foot to shut her up. "I am Hiita of the Kohaku clan at your service."

She rose from her declined state and the other two behind her spoke as well. The wild looking girl put on a cute smlie.

"Hey, I'm Shimari of the Yoru clan. Nice to meet you!"

The dark-haired shinobi next to her rolled her eyes. "Yeah, well... I'm Saya. That's all you need to know."

The three genin of squad 7 dissaproved of this team, but Kakashi just smiled behind his mask. Heh... he chuckled inwardly. I think these next few months will be pretty interesting...

Until his mission was over, Kakashi wouldn't know just how much of an understatement that would be.

Ok,ok...I know the first chapter was short...Oo

Anywho, there's some forshadowing there... ;) What's gonna happen? Oh, well...read the next few chapters to find out!

They're coming ASAP. Laters for now! 83
