Yume walked along the stony street with her hands dangling at her sides. She passed the Uchiha clan's part of the village and was moving towards the Aburame compound when she saw a girl with light gray eyes atop the gate that led into the Aburame compound. She'd heard of a new Hyuuga that had been staying with the Aburames but never actually met her. Her name was unclear in her mind so she decided to meet up with the Hyuuga.
"Ano, Hyuuga-san?" Yume said politely, walking up to the girl and bowing. "My name is Kurai Yume. I've been looking forward to meeting you recently. Hina-chan has told me about your arrival at the Hyuuga mansion." she straightened her back and smiled at the girl. Osa was on her side, lying on the Aburame gate. She raised her head as her real name was called to her. She preferred being called Aburame, but she accepted Hyuuga, since it was her origin. "Call me Angel please," Osa said, sitting up and swinging her long stocky legs over the gate.
"You're Tsunade's daughter, are you not?" Osa asked.
This came as a surprise to Yume, not many knew about the recent adoption.
"Yes, I am," she replied. "Pleasure to meet you, Angel. So I hear from Neji that you've met your Hyuugan siblings. How did that go?" she asked politely.
"Neji is a nuisance of course, non stop. And Hanabi is over friendly most of the time. I'm alright with it, in a sense. But Shino is my brother, and this is my home," Osa said, looking back to the Aburame compound.
"Of course," Yume said, looking up at the Aburame residence as well. "Have you been training with Hiashi-sama? Hina-chan tells me he's harsh," she asked.
"No, not yet at least. Neji and Karme say I wouldn't last if I did. I train with them for the time being because they're the so called strongest Hyuuga members in their age group and ranking. Neji is someone I can take down fairly easy from time to time. Karme is harder to beat. What about you? Do you train with Tsunade-sama? Sakura say's she's dangerous," Osa asked.
"Oh yes, dangerous is the perfect way to describe it. But mother is always busy with overdue paperwork and all those new genin coming in every year that she barely has time to train me. So she sends me under various jounins; though Neji is in my age group, I've trained under him as well since he is a jounin as well." Yume said, recalling her training sessions with the strict Hyuuga.
"I've trained with him a few times as well, but he's caught off guard easily when he's really mad or frustrated. He just doesn't realize that fatal flaw of his. Next time you train with him, remember that; it'll help. But I'm still better off training with Shino. I have more things to look out for. Anyway, I've got some training to do. You're welcome to join me in a spar if you'd like?" Osa asked.
"Sure! Sounds like fun!" Yume said with a smile. Sparring with Angel would be a good change for her, since she'd only been fighting with those Jounin for the past few days. Like Osa, she didn't know her limits. Perhaps this would help?
"Well, then lets go," Osa said with a smirk.
She took off nearly as fast as Rock Lee. She wanted to see if Yume could keep up, to allow Osa to see what she was up against. Surely training with jounins all the time, she should have a lot of skill. As for Osa, she only trained with Shino, Karme, and Neji. Yume grinned at Osa's speed, and caught up to her easily. "My, my, you're a fast one," Yume said over the rapid winds blowing into their faces. It would only take a couple of minutes to get to the training grounds, and once there, two girls would test all that they've learned from the past few months or so.
Osa smirked, glad to see she could keep up. 'Things certainly will get interesting,' she thought. Once they reached the training grounds, Osa put a few feet between her and Yume. Osa took a deep breath then got into a fighting stance, but not the same as the Hyuugan one. She had her hand near her weapon pouch, and the other hand set as if she was about to jog. Her feet were spread apart to fit in good speed and perform easy dodge movements. "Ready when you are," Osa said, grinning.
Yume grinned as well and leaped upwards toward Osa, coming down with a spinning kick. She knew that it would easily be dodged so she had a kunai ready in her hand. Osa grinned and twisted around in Hyuuga fashion and grabbed Yume's hands and wrapped them around her back, keeping a safe distance between her and the kunai.
Yume grunted, but did not expect less from Osa. Her arms were tightly held behind her back, and her fingers were the only things that could move so she flicked the kunai toward Osa's head, hoping it could serve as a distraction to loosen her grip on Yume.
Osa smirked as she let go of one hand and spun around in front of Yume, dodging the kunai and pulling the arm back over her shoulder. Then out of no where, she let go of Yume's arms and fell on her butt laughing. She was laughing pretty hard too. It was hard to predict what she was thinking or what she was laughing at. Then there was the matter, who wanted to know?
Yume looked at Osa sitting on the ground laughing all of a sudden. She cocked her head and couldn't help but grin, watching her be so hysterical.
"Did I miss something?" she asked giving a small laugh.
Osa wiped the tears from her eyes. "G-gomen! Yume-chan!" she said breaking up into laughter. Then she went poof in a cloud of smoke; it was a clone.
The real Osa jumped down from a wooden post, grinning, but not laughing. "Gomen. It's hard to explain in my case. But in simple terms I think fighting is funny," Osa said, blushing lightly.
"Wow, I never actually thought of fighting as funny seeing as I've never been on a mission where I had to fight but, seeing you laugh so hard from the idea, I can't help but find it funny as well," Yume said, laughing harder than she ever had before.
"I'm sure I could focus on it if I tried, but I just can't. I haven't been on a mission either. But I do little things like D and C missions," Osa said.
"With your speed, when you do go on bigger missions like Bs and Ds, you'll do great," she said with a smile after she stopped laughing.
"I'm only good with speed because I'm good at taijutsu. I'm not that good with fighting, obviously. I don't even have a team or a sensei," Osa said.
"Well, neither do I. I don't have a definite sensei, and neither do I have a team. I go on missions with random shinobi from the village that aren't already out on missions. Wow, we're both suckers, huh?" she stuck out her tongue with a playful smile.
"I guess so. Say, why don't you talk with Hokage-sama about putting us in a two nin team? It would make things a bit easier," Osa said.
The thought hit Yume as genius. A two nin squad, eh? Perfect.
"Why don't we go over to the Hokage tower and ask Tsunade-sama?" she suggested. The Hokage couldn't deny this offer. It was just too...genius.
"Yeah, let's hurry!" Osa said with excitement. She was never really social, but liked the company and the idea of finally getting a team. Wonder who would become their sensei?
"Un!"
Yume started to walk towards the Hokage tower. A team would really be a great idea for her. She'd always envied the Konoha nins that had their teams to go on missions with. But would Tsunade agree to have a two nin team? Osa raced to the tower with her magnificent speed to push her. 'THIS IS SO EXCITING!' she thought. She had never met Tsunade-sama, so that would be interesting.
"Alright, here we are," Yume said, after running to the tower trying to keep up with Osa and stopping in front of the stairs that led up to the Hokage's office. She started walking, imagining the conversation with Tsunade and wondering if Osa had ever met her before. As they stood in front of the door, Yume raised her hand to knock on the door and made three quick knocks, followed by two quick ones. It was one that Tsunade had made for her to know that she was the one knocking. "Come in, Yume!" said her voice.
She opened the door.
Osa took a deep breath and followed Yume in, hoping everything would work out alright. She saw a blonde woman at a desk with another woman standing behind her holding a pig, which made Osa rather curious, but she said nothing. She shifted her eyes to Yume, waiting to see what would be said.
Yume smiled and bowed to her mother, "Tsunade no ka-san, Shizune-san, Tonton,"
"Who's this, Yume?" Tsunade asked, looking over at Osa. But Osa and Yume weren't the only girls in the room. There was also another girl with blonde hair that was past shoulder length and grayish eyes that looked out the window behind Tsunade.
"This is Hyuuga Osa. I came here to make a request. Can Osa-chan and I be on a two nin squad?" She crossed my fingers behind my back, hoping to get a good answer. She saw the girl with the blonde hair look at Tsunade curiously, as if expecting something.
Tsunade examined the girl in front of her. Osa had a hard and cold face, like the normal Hyuuga. Her eyes were the perfect pearl color to show of her background. She was a completely unique person that was so set aside from the Hyuugas. Anyone who knew Osa, and saw the stare she had would have laughed hysterically, knowing she wasn't that kind of person. Osa shifted her eyes to the blonde who looked at Hokage-sama curiously. Osa shot a typical Neji glare at her, which made her freeze shyly.
"You seem to have come at a perfect time," Tsunade said. Yume looked at her confusedly, and then she continued, "To your right is Ashikara Kaiue. She requested being on a squad. And with you two wanting to be on a squad together, why don't the three of you be on a three nin squad? I've been speaking to Hatake Hiroshi, and he's been looking forward to getting a team since all the new genins have been decided with their senseis already. So, how about it?" she asked. Yume looked over to Osa, then over to Ashikara, who was looking at her and smiling. Yume grinned at her and looked to Osa again.
Osa nodded furiously, with a big grin that looked similar to Naruto's.
"Sounds perfect! When do we get to meet our sensei, Hokage-sama?" Osa asked with excitement. She also had never met Hatake Hiroshi.
"You want to meet him now?" Tsunade asked. Yume and Osa nodded their heads, and so did Ashikara. "Well then, I'll have to send him a message." Tsunade said, turning to Shizune.
"I'm already here," said a toneless male voice from behind the three girls. Ashikara and Yume turned around at the same time to see a man with spiky silver hair, and his Konoha forehead protector pulled over his left eye.
"Ah, Hiroshi. Will you take your team now, then?" Tsunade said. He looked like one of Yume's old trainers back when she trained with jounins. What was his name, Kake...Kakashi? Kakashi Hatake. Was this his...brother or something?
Osa turned to him, and tilted her head.
"Sure, I've looked forward to this. Come on, kiddies," he said, walking out of the room. Osa looked at Tsunade, then Yume, then Ashikara. She then quickly followed her new sensei. Yume and Ashikara followed Osa out to a terrace that overlooked Konoha. Hiroshi walked up to the rail and motioned for the girls to stand in front of him. Ashikara just looked at him, expecting him to say something. Yume crossed her arms and stood there, waiting for Hiroshi to address them.
Hiroshi put his book away after a moment and looked over the young girls.
"Alright, I'm your new sensei. Call me Hiroshi-sensei. Now, before we attend to anything else, please introduce yourselves. Give me name, likes, dislikes, zip code, dreams, and hobbies. Oh and your gender, I saw a ninja the other day and addressed him as a kunoichi." Hiroshi said.
"Was it Neji?!" Osa asked. raising her hand.
"Yeah and?" Hiroshi asked. Osa then burst into laughter.
"Ok, ok, now who wants to go first?" Hiroshi asked.
"Hey, Roshi-senpai?-" Osa started.
"Hiroshi-sensei!" Hiroshi corrected her.
"Uh huh, very goo and all, but what's your point?" Osa asked.
Hiroshi sighed and asked, "What was your question?"
"Well, why don't you go first?" Osa asked.
"Me? Alright. I'm Hatake Hiroshi, that's Hiroshi-sensei to you maggots. And I like a lot of things, mostly literature. My dislikes are...babysitting you 3. I have many hobbies, I prefer sleeping or reading. And my dreams are none of your business, and I am a man," he said.
"You were serious about the gender thing?" Osa asked.
"Uh yeah" Hiroshi said. "Anyway...how about you next?" Hiroshi asked, pointing at Yume.
"My name is Yume Kurai. I like standing in the rain blindfolded while I throw kunai without looking," she said with a grin, "and I hate nins that think they're superior to you when really, they're not. And I don't have a zip code. We live in a village remember? You can't have a zip code here. My dream is to forget my past and find that cursed thing that made me kill my parents. I don't have any hobbies, except going out and grabbing life by the horns. And Hiroshi, why don't YOU tell me what gender I am? Let's test your eyesight." Yume smirked, expecting a smart-ass comment from him like any other male would do. Ashikara let out a small giggle.
"I don't know, Miss Yume. Do you even know your gender? Apparently, Neji didn't, so I
I'm not expecting everyone to." Hiroshi teased. "But as far as I know, I have an all kunoichi team," Hiroshi said. "And the zip code was a joke," he added. "Alright, how about you?" Hiroshi asked, patting Osa on the head.
"I am Hyuuga Osa, call me Angel. I like Egg rolls of every kind, and I like running and dodging weapons in training. I dislike anything with the word bean in it! And I dislike, people like Neji. My dream is to become the greatest Hyuuga member, and earn the respect that I deserve. And my hobbies are racing and sleeping," Osa said.
"Ok, then only Ashikara is left" Hiroshi said.
Ashikara stood up and looked down at her boots, then spoke. "Umm, well, my name is Ashikara Kaiue. I like books, music and laughing," she giggled a bit, then continued, "My dislikes are arguments, spiders, and extremely emo people," she gave a cough, a very unusual cough, said something that sounded like "Sasuke" and then gave another unusual cough. Yume looked at her and smiled, holding in a laugh. "My hobbies are reading, singing, though not in front of strangers, and training. My dream and my goal are to make my father and my sister back at home proud of me." Ashi then sat down and hugged her knees, waiting to see what her sensei would say next. Yume looked at Hiroshi, who seemed to be thinking of something.
"Alright now that that's out of the way, I'm uh...happy to know more about you all, I'm sure we'll be a good team blah blah blah, no one cares...okay, now, I'm not big on being soft...ever. So your first assignment shall begin tomorrow. Meet me at the training grounds and be sure to drink a lot of water as much as you can at once. This will be rough so be prepared," Hiroshi said. He then flexed his headband and used teleportation jutsu to disappear into the abyss.
"I wonder what the mission will be?" Ashi said softly.
"Yeah and why drink a lot of water? We're not going to be stranded in the middle of the desert are we?!" Yume exclaimed, and then calmed down. A lot of water? That seemed like a strange thing to do.
"I don't know, but let's do as we're asked; no need to get on his bad side...or do I want to?" Osa asked herself. "I think I wouldn't mind racing with him," Osa said with a smirk.
"Well, then, I guess we should split now. Perhaps get some rest in for tomorrow? We never know what we'll be doing," Ashikara said with a smile. "Yeah, we probably should." Yume said, standing up. The sun would set soon, and it was best to get out of the streets of Konoha before dark.
"Whatever suits you guys," Osa said with a shrug. She raced off with the speed Lee has, but a couple seconds slower. She raced through Konoha as the wind smacked against her pale Hyuuga skin, dodging people swiftly as she went.
"I'll be going as well, then," Yume said as she turned to Ashikara. "See you at the training grounds tomorrow, Ashikara-chan." she smiled.
"Call me Ashi," Ashi said, also smiling.
"Hai! See ya," and Yume ran off as well, becoming a red blur as she became smaller in Ashi's field of view. Ashi turned and ran towards the old training grounds that she went to since she first became a genin, her hair trailing behind her in golden strands with the sun's light reflecting upon it.
thats is it! hope you liked it!
