Sensei and Student

A Naruto Fan Fiction

Summary: She didn't have a problem with their Jounin sensei at all. She just got a little nervous around a blade, that's it. However, he didn't see as that so he decided to teach her how to wield one. Now she has to face her fears whether she wants to or not.

Part 1: Graduation

It was the day after graduation and Iruka began listing off the teams. "…Okay, team 7 will consist of Aburame Shino, Inuzuka Kiba, and Hyuuga Hinata. Team 8 will consist of Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, and Ookami Yumii." At the sound of her name, she stopped doodling in the margins of her notebook and dropped her pencil.

'Great, I'm stuck with the kid that has a stick up his arse and a kid that is hyper-active. Looks like this will be a crappy year.' Yumii thought to herself. Naruto groaned and the Uchiha only said 'tsch, whatever.' She again sighs to herself at the useless team she was stuck with and only prayed for the best.

A few minutes later, after Iruka finished his "What it means to be full-fledge ninja" speech, Yumii decides to head off to the bathroom.

Before she has the chance to do so, however, Iruka stops her.

"Yumii, there's something you should know about your Jounin instructor…" She gives him a questioning glance before shaking out of his grip and walking out of the classroom.

"Okay, your Jounin instructors will be here at noon to pick up your team. That gives you three hours to relax and so forth," the bell then rings and all of the students run out of the classroom except for the rather bored Nara.

Yumii hears the bell ring from outside and smiles from her position in the tree. 'What was Iruka-sensei about to say about my Jounin instructor? Well, whatever it was, it was probably something unimportant and irrelevant to anything dealing with me.' She never thought that she would end up on the worst possible team she could ever be in.

"Oi, Yumii-chan, wanna come with Sasuke-teme and me to the ramen place!?" She couldn't help but smile at the invitation, but she declines it anyway.

"Sorry, Naru-kun, I'm busy at the moment. I have to help my mom and dad out with a few things!" She watches as his face fell for a brief moment before smiling again and wave at her.

"Okay, see you at noon!" She drops her smile and jumps from her perch on the tree. 'It was an obvious lie, but… I just don't feel like socializing at the moment. I wish I had parents. Kami, what did I do to deserve this kind of punishment?' She asks to herself and walks off on a trail leading into the forest.

After a while, she reaches her destination and peels off the layers of clothing she wore, wincing at the fact of how her clothes sticks to her, and pulls off her sandals before climbing into the cool chill of the river.

This place was where her father always took her mother and her to during the late summer when all the heat was at its highest. The mere thought of them made her sad and she fought back the tears threating to spill from her face.

She didn't know how long she spent at the river, but obviously long enough to end up rushing back to the academy to meet up with her new team. 'What fun will that be I wonder?'

It was true that her team was quite- interesting- to say in the least. She idly wonders how such a team was made; she could've almost sworn that the teams were set up to balance out each other's short comings.

It wasn't long before she made it to the classroom where her other two teammates were waiting for her. However, because she lost track of time, she was still soaked in her clothes; a least her hair was dry for the most part.

"Oi, Yumii-chan, I was wondering where you went," A over hyper-active blonde starts in a loud voice, "I thought that- hey, why are you wet?" He was cutoff in mid-rant when he notices the wet clothing and mostly dry hair.

"It's nothing, really, hehe… you see, uhm… I fell into a river and well, y'know," she starts abet awkwardly only to be interrupted by a sudden presence in the room.

"I'm assuming you're my Genin squad, so *coughcough* meet me in Training ground 7." Just as soon as he appears, he was gone.

"Ooookay… let's go then!" Naruto screams into my ears and I sigh in annoyance.
