I'm working on two stories at once, so don't freak out if they both suck horribly, okay? I'm a horrible writer! And only in 8th grade...and failing english..SHUT UP.

So, this one is about an O/C that I've been daydreaming up lately. I had a better O/C girl that I'd thought about longer, but she didn't fit the plot for this story, so she's uninvolved! Although, this character is somewhat based on the other, with few differences. SORRY. I own nothing but Keiko.(: Story begins in third person but then changes into Keiko's point of view. And italics indicate thoughts. Bold italics indicate Shadow's comments.

A young kunoichi sat hidden in a tree, watching a trio of young academy students wait in a grassy field. Two of them, a blond boy wearing bright orange clothing and a girl with pink hair with red clothing, were sitting on the ground sleepily. The third, another boy but with black hair and blue and white clothes, was standing near the others. Soon enough, a familiar jonin showed up. The four chatted for a while and began preparing for a training exercise.

It was then that the kunoichi jumped down to them and made her entrance. She was wearing a short-sleeved orange shirt with short, black tights and typical ninja footwear. She had a series of black marks on her arms and neck. She had dark red hair down to her belly button and bangs that covered her right eye, which was also covered by her headband with the mark of Konoha on it. She ran up behind the jonin and glomped him from behind.

"Kashi-kun!" She shouted in a somewhat high-pitched voice. The three students deadpanned and the jonin sweat-dropped, recognizing the girl on his back.

[First person time!]

I'd finally found Kashi-kun! I was so happy and I even glomped him, holding on to his neck. The three kids in his new team deadpanned and Kashi sweat-dropped. I giggled and leaped down from his back. Facing him, I smiled and tilted my head to the side.

"Mori-san?" Kakashi asked. I nodded and grinned.

"The one and only!"

Thank God for that. Shadow said inside my thoughts. Shut up Shadow! I replied in my mind.

"So, you're finally back from that mission I see. And you've...changed." I could tell that Kakashi was talking about my curse marks.

"Yep! But I'm still basically the same Keiko as I was before I left!" Oh how we all wish you'd changed. I said shut up!

I then remembered the three trainees who were with Kashi.

I nodded towards them, saying, "I see you have a team Kashi-kun!"

He nodded and introduced me to the trio. "Team 7, meet Keiko Mori. Mori-san--"

"Call me Keiko-chan please.." I mumbled, interrupting him.

"Keiko-chan, this is Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, and Naruto Uzumaki."

Uzumaki...he took mother's name? At least he took one of the parents' names, unlike somebody I know... Yeah, yeah, I get it. Shut up now.

"It's nice to meet you all." I smiled towards the three. They nodded in return and two of the three smiled.

"Hm..what're you doing here with me, Keiko-chan? Shouldn't you be reporting to the hokage?" Kakashi nagged me.

"Yeah, yeah, I already reported to him and was given a new assignment. I am to 'assist Kakashi with his team and make sure nothing disastrous happens because of Naruto-kun" I imitated the hokage's voice, quoting him. Naruto-kun scratched the back of his head while Sakura gave him a look.

"Uh..okay. Well, we were about to start a training exercise."

"Sorry! Go on with your weird bell thing, Kashi-kun." I jumped back into a tree to watch their training from afar. Within half an hour, I'd fallen asleep on the tree branch. When I woke up, I saw dark clouds in the sky and Kakashi glaring at his students. Naruto was tied to a stump for some reason..

They were arguing and then the clouds suddenly cleared up. Kakashi gave the team a thumbs up, which I assumed meant that they'd passed their excercise, and Naruto and Sakura began cheering. They began walking away, leaving Naruto tied up. He screamed at them but they kept walking until they were out of sight.

Wow. A bit cruel in my opinion, but whatever.

I jumped down to the training grounds and began walking back to the main area of the village when my conscience got a hold of me.

I shouldn't leave him there. He's probably hungry and angry. Leave him there! It's funny.. I'm untying him. Don't! You can't stop me!

I walked back to Naruto and untied him. After he thanked me, we walked back to the village and went to Ichiraku Ramen for a mid-afternoon snack. Non-surprisingly, Naruto gobbled up 7 bowls of ramen. We made idle chit-chat during the meal, but nothing important. Once we finished eating, I payed for the ramen and began walking to a certain spiky-haired ninja's home.

The end! Muahaha. Cliff-hanger-ish-ness, yeah? Yeah, I got sleepy....

I'll add more chapters and blah blah blah tomorr-wait I can't tomorrow..or today or w/e (it's past midnight).

I'll update by the end of the week! Or try to...
