Clunk, clunk, ring! Clunk, clunk, cling!
Suki stopped and took a deep breath from exhaustion. She had been training for hours, preparing for her mission she knew was to come. Suki sighed, remembering how her brother, Sai, had cautioned her. He had been injured to where he couldn't fight for awhile, so she was assigned to team 7. A/N: I'm not sure if that is their team number, I have so many numbers going through my mind right now, I just did math geometry homework, haha.
Flashback:
Suki was sitting in a chair beside Sai's hospital bed. They were talking of all the ninja business that was important to know of team 7.
"Remember Suki, don't piss Sakura off, she has super strength, and won't hesitate to use it. Trust me, I know. Naruto, I'm not supposed to know this, but I do, he has the spirit of the nine tailed fox inside of him. He has more chakra than Sasuke does, but he really likes to show off, so he's not much of a threat. They get a lot of hard missions, and with us all being chonins, freshly appointed by the hokage, it's not that surprising." Sai told her. "I wonder why the Hokage wanted you to pose as a chonin when you are a jonin. It doesn't make sense, maybe she wants team seven to have another jonin to protect the chonins, and help Kakashi-sensei? I don't know." Suki shrugged and Sai became serious.
"Suki, I want you to practice, train, and learn as many new jutsus as you possibly can. I have a strong feeling that our team is about to get the mission of the lifetime. I overheard the hokage talking to Kakashi-sensei, and they were saying how Kakashi was to tell her when he thought we were ready for the mission that Naruto and Sakura both wanted so badly. I believe that she is going to send team 7 to get Sasuke Uchiha from Orochimaru's grasp before he uses him as his new body. I don't want to lose my sister, ever, so you train, and you train hard, I'm not losing my best friend." Sai said, then laid back down on the bed as the nurse came in.
"Sai, I know you're not relaxing like your supposed to be, and the sooner that you rest, the sooner you can be on a new team, and training like I know you love to do. You have to rest, and you," she pointed at Suki. "You have to make him rest."
"Yes, alright, I'll try to make him rest. Wait…what did you mean the sooner he could be on a new team?" Suki asked. She stood as the nurse turned to look at her.
"Didn't you know? Lady Hokage came in to talk to him about it yesterday. Kaya, out of one of the newer chonin teams has died, and they need a new team. For now, till they get Sai, they have simple missions. They were really happy to learn that they could keep their team, or what's left of it anyway. They are a really close nit family. They even set up an appointment to meet Sai, but they didn't need an appointment. They are but children, but they are the best of their class. You may have heard of one of them? Konahomaru, you know, the third hokage's grandson? I interviewed him not very long ago for my other job, as the news paper article writer, and I asked him why he was so determined to be a chonin, at such a young age, and he said the weirdest thing! He said that he wanted so badly to work with his idol, Naruto, which he just had to be that way." The nurse said as she left the room. "Oh well, I guess you'll just have to meet the team Friday! Bye!"
The siblings both snickered, till the door was tightly shut, and the nurse's footsteps faded away, then they a large amount of held in laughter escaped their lips, and filled the entire room. The siblings calmed when Kakashi-sensei entered the room, wondering what the ruckus was about.
"Kids, I know you have really good senses of humor, and you both laugh at the same thing, but this is a hospital, guys. People are trying to rest, and get some sleep, and you two aren't making that any easier with all of your laughing. Calm it!" Kakashi said, instantly causing both kids to either sit back down, or lay down all the way on the bed.
"I think I'd better be leaving. I have to train, and then I have to meet Lady Tsunade for my special meeting about my medic ninja training. I'll see you later brother, bye!" Suki said as she stepped out of the room and closed the door.
She walked down the hallway, silent and staring at the floor. Does this mean that I'm going to be a permanent member of team 7? At least till Sasuke comes back, I mean, Suki thought as she headed for the practice field. She felt hands on her shoulders as she was pushed out of the way.
"Move girl, we have no time to lose! Get out of the way, and make way for the fatal patient and the doctors!" a medic-ninja yelled. She jumped into the air and made a platform of air underneath her to allow everyone to pass and keep out of the way. What she saw shocked her: the patient was her best friend, Mista. Suki shook with shock, as she hovered above everyone.
"No, this can't be. This can't be, for she was only gone to the sand village to see her cousin! There wasn't supposed to be any worry about her mission. She was only to go and check to see how the arranged marriage was going, and to see if they needed a new bride instead of her cousin!" Suki muttered. "No, no, no, no!" she shook her head, determination to find out who did it, and get her revenge.
Suki stayed hovered in the air till Kakashi came down the hallway and noticed she was there. Hmm…I wonder what is wrong with Suki. Oh no, did she see Mista being wheeled in? I was informed that she was fatally hurt, and that they were bringing her in as soon as they got her. I know that they were really close friends, I hope she doesn't do anything stupid, Kakashi thought.
"Suki, come down here, now, please?" Kakashi yelled, only to get his voice to reach her up there. She turned, and nodded. She released the jutsu she had put on the air the allow her to stay there, floating. She slowly floated down and landed in front on Kakashi.
"Yes, sensei?" Suki asked, hiding her tears behind her hair.
"You saw her, didn't you? You saw Mista." He said. She nodded, her eyes filling with tears yet again. She broke down, and began to run, to where, she didn't know. She only knew that she wanted to get far away from there, far away from the hospital. She knew Mista was dead, she wasn't breathing when Suki saw her, and she knew it.
Well, she knew she had to train, and she was going to do just that.
End flashback
Thinking about her brother made her train harder, push herself farther. Lower on chakra, lower than she had ever been, she took a break. Falling on the ground with her kunai landing beside her, she pulled out her water bottle out of her sock.
"How do you fit that thing in there and not lose it?" a voice said from behind her. She smiled.
"Simple, Kakashi-sensei, I am very skilled at a simple jutsu." She said, smiling as she turned to face him.
"Well, Suki, meet your new team. This is Haruno Sakura, and this is the number one hyperactive ninja himself, Uzumaki Naruto." Kakashi said, introducing each of the ninjas beside him. She noticed how Naruto started yelling at his introduction, and Sakura glared at her after her introduction. Suki smiled.
"So, these are the people Sai was telling me about! I believe he called Sakura the lovely, fair Sakura, though. And Naruto he called random, funny Naruto." Suki said, noting how Sakura and Naruto's expression changed after that. Sakura immediately warmed up to her, and Naruto asked her if she would go eat ramen with him.
"Naruto, calm down and back off of her before she hurts you. She doesn't appreciate being touched. Back off!" Kakashi shouted as Naruto failed to notice Suki's angry and uncomfortable expression as he held her hand and her waist. He didn't listen, and continued to ignore both hints they were giving him to leave Suki alone. He didn't get the message till he began pulling her, and hurting her arm and she beat him till he let go of her, and Suki ran to Kakashi, and held on for dear life.
Understanding her reaction, he held her there, but not too close for fear she might panic again. Naruto stood up, bleeding, and walked to her. Touching her back, still not have learned, he attempted to apologize. Feeling her stiffen, Kakashi let go and pulled Sakura back away from the two. Laughing so hard she snorted, she watched as Naruto tried to defend himself with his rasengan, panicking Suki even more, and her almost killing him, and solidifying the air beneath her as she jumped up. She steadily drew herself up higher and higher till she was out of Naruto's jumping reach. Exhaust and lack of chakra catching up with her, the air broke beneath her, and she began to fall. Unsure of whether or not he would get beaten up again for catching her, Naruto just stood there watching her fall.
Watching from a distance, Kakashi realized Naruto's hesitation, and immediately ran over to catch her. Suki looked at him with eyes of rage till she seen who it was, then she calmed. "A-Arigatu, Kakashi sensei." She said as she passed out in his arms. He smiled as he pushed her hair out of her eyes. He eyed Naruto for making her panic, but softening his glare when he remembered Naruto had no idea why she was like that.
"Kakashi, make him go to the hospital, or lie down!" a woman said as she tried to restrain Naruto so she could look at his wounds.
"Naruto, cool it and let Hokage Tsunade look at your wounds! Lady Tsunade, why are you here?" Kakashi asked.
Lady Tsunade turned, and laughed. "Because, I had a feeling Naruto would push her to her limit, cause her panic, and almost kill him."
"But, Kakashi-sensei, why did she act that way? It was very odd." Sakura asked. Kakashi jumped, forgetting she was even there.
"That is a long story, Sakura, that I don't think neither me nor Tsunade have the liberty to say, and if we did, it would be up to you upon whether or not you can know." Kakashi said, in his own little round about way. "Plus, the only reason we know it is so we can help her.
