Squad 11, the First Meeting
Chapter Title: Squads (original… I know)
"Naruto, we have to go!" Yelled a girl with long blue-green hair that hung, layered, over her shoulders, her dark green eyes flashing in the light of the sun as she stared up to the second floor window of the apartment she shared with a certain blonde haired ninja-in-training. She shifted her stance, waiting for a response, her long black ninja shoes, whose tops reached almost to her knees, sagged a little while she stood there slouching, reaching a hand to her eyes to shield them from the harmful rays. She wore a black tank top underneath a light grey colored kimono shaped top. Her hands felt heavy from all the training and the metal topped gloves she always wore. The sun soaked into her dark top and she sighed. "Naruto, damnit, if you don't hurry up Ill have to come up there and beat your ass out that window!" Just as she finished the sentence, a blur of orange and blond came flying out the window, flipping several times and dropping next to the girl, facing the opposite direction. The girl, who had not moved an inch except to turn the ends of her lips down, turned and smacked the boy over the head, knocking his forehead protector askew. "I was waiting for you for half an hour! You couldn't have moved a little faster?"
"Oww, Rei, why do you have to be so grouchy? I was just finishing my ramen!" Naruto said as he stood up, straightening his forehead protector and dusting off his signature purple jumpsuit.
"You eat the ramen from a portable cup. I don't see why you couldn't have brought it with you."
"Because then I wouldn't be able to jump all cool like from the window! Duh." Rei slapped her forehead. "I should have known" She sighed and they began walking. "If we don't hurry we are going to be late for the team assignments and then we won't be ninjas!!" Naruto yelled, pulling Rei along, almost to the point of dragging her.
"We will be fine. Besides, they already chose the teams in advance. Remember, Iruka sensei told us that the other night."
"Yeah but he wouldn't tell us who we were paired with."
"Well, that wouldn't be good would it? Cause then we would know before everyone else, and then you and your big mouth would ruin the surprise." Rei said, emphasizing her correctness with a hand on the hip as they walked. Naruto looked from her face to the hand on her hip and then burst out laughing.
"What, do you think you're Ino or something?" His laugh resonated, and with a glance at her own posture Rei broke down laughing as well. They both lay, rolling around laughing on the dirt roads until they heard the first bell. Both bodies stood up so fast that anyone who was watching could only think they had imagined seeing them on the ground seconds before.
"We are gonna be late! Quick, run!" They took off, Rei leading the way and Naruto only half a step behind. They burst through the door to their classroom right after the third bell finished sounding. One look at Iruka sensei told them to just take their seats and not make a huge fuss about it. They would probably get a lecture from him later anyway. The only places left were two individual seats, one in the front row next to a pink haired girl, and the other in the very back next to a boy who always had a puppy in his coat. Obviously Naruto bolted towards the seat with the pink haired girl who scowled at him and pushed him over onto the floor before Rei could even register that there was a seat open there. So she sat in the back next to the dog boy who was sitting next to the lazy boy, or was sitting next to the chubby one. I picked a good spot she thought to herself sarcastically and took her seat.
Iruka sensei cleared his throat and began to speak, reading from a long piece of paper. His speech about being good team mates and working together and never giving up lasted for about an hour and a half. At the first word of the list of Squads everyone snapped back to reality, the lazy boy woke up as did Naruto and Iruka continued reading.
"I will now announce the Squads and your team mates." He read off team 1 through 6 and people weren't too happy about their pairings so far. (A/n: the teams might not all be the same since I added in my own character and two random ones so that there isn't a random group of 4)
"Squad 7 is Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke." Sakura's head fell onto the table so hard that Sasuke was shocked into having an expression on his face due to the fact that he was sitting next to her with his elbows on the table, half asleep when the earthquake cause by Sakura's forehead occurred. "Squad 8 will be Ino, Arizu, and Kurume." Ino smiled, both boys were cute, no where near Sasuke status in her eyes, but they were good enough to spend every day with, much better than the lazy kid or the fat kid. "Squad 9 will be Shikamaru, Chouji, and Hinata." Shikamaru and Chouji turned to each other, at least they were friends, and they both turned to Hinata who had turned a violent shade of pink and was staring at the back of the blond boy's head. Chouji leaned in towards Shikamaru:
"She is a weird one." Shikamaru nodded. "mmhmmm."
"Squad 10 will be Neji, Tenten, and Lee." Neji sweat dropped as Tenten's eyes became little heart shapes. "And Squad 11 will be Shino, Kiba and Rei." Rei smiled and leaned across the isle to Shino who was sitting on the end of his row.
"This should be fun" she whispered to him, smiling, and he nodded slowly back. They knew each other only because Rei woke up at 4:30 every morning to run and train. And Shino was often up that early examining bugs and she would often stop and watch them with him when she got tired. She even helped him find a rare butterfly/moth cross breed.
Kiba looked to his side, examining the girl next to him and the boy she was speaking with. He knew Shino, the bug boy, was weird but he always thought this girl, Rei, would be cool, but now that he knew they were friends? No chance, he was obviously going to be the best person on his team.
Iruka finished speaking and the kids all left, heading towards home with information on when and where to meet their new sensei's. Naruto caught up with Rei a few feet outside the school building after trying to convince Sakura to going out for ramen with him to no avail.
"Sucks we aren't in the same Squad." Naruto said, rubbing a large lump on his head.
"Eh, what are you gonna do. So Sakura said no I presume?" Naruto grunted and continued rubbing his head as they walked back toward their apartment, Rei giggling to herself the whole way.
Kiba stood outside the building while his older sister Hana spoke with Iruka about the school and the students and about possibly becoming a teacher. He turned towards the path Rei had taken and couldn't keep his eyes off the girl in the distance, and he couldn't stop thinking why such a beautiful girl hung out with such weird and annoying people. He thought of Rei living with Naruto and a shutter went down his spine. She must have to deal with a big mess every day. Or maybe she was the same way as him? He shuttered again. Hana turned back to Kiba and gave him a playful push.
"Who are you looking at?" She asked, the features on her face looking even more feral than Kiba's. He shook his head and turned to walk back to the Inuzuka house, his sister stopped for a brief moment getting the fleeting glimpse of the girl in the distance. She shook her head a little and laughed. Maybe Kibi-kun is finally starting to like girls? She laughed again at the thought of any girl being able to deal with Kiba's gruff, complete disdain for law, and his wild side which every Inuzuka family member had. Then she turned and caught up to her little brother, smiling down at him as they walked home.
