Aki awoke late one morning to find Kakashi-sensei sitting on the edge of her bed."Morning..." She said half asleep. Then realizing that she was in nothing but a tanktop and short-shorts, she pulled the blankets up to her neck. "What's the matter?" Kakashi said jokingly. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" Aki screamed. Just then, Kakashi pulled out a tray with a bowl of cereal and a glass of milk and handed it to Aki. "Breakfast in bed?" He asked. "Sure..." Aki said hesitantly. "Why are you being so nice..." she asked. "I was wondering if you were still coming to train with us today." Kakashi replied. "Yeah, of course! Why, did training start already?" She asked. "Well..." Kakashi said hesitantly. "It did, didn't it?" Aki asked. "Yup." He said. "So why didn't you wake me up, instead of waiting for me to wake up on my own?" Aki asked with a clever smirk. "I guess I never thought of that..." Kakashi said. "So get out of my room so I can get ready!" Aki yelled. "Okay, okay, I'll leave!" Kakashi said as he walked out of Aki's room. With that, Aki got dressed as quicly as she could and rushed out the door, only to find Kakashi still waiting for her. "Why are you still waiting for me?" She asked. Kakashi shrugged. "I dunno, guess I just felt like it. But now that you're ready, we can go, right?" Kakashi asked. "Let me just grab a peice of toast." Aki replied. Kakashi sighed. "Whatever." So Aki quickly made a peice of toast and ran out the door. "Race ya!" Aki said as she ran out the door. "No fair, you got a head start!" Kakashi yelled. "Too bad!" Aki said.

When they reached the training grounds, they were greeted by Sasuke saying "Late again, Kakashi-sensei, how am I not surprised?" with a smirk. "Well...you see...I was getting Aki!" Kakashi said as he pushed Aki in front of him. "Oh?" Sasuke said, lifting an eyebrow. "I didn't know Aki was training with us today." Kakashi pushed Aki in with the rest of Team 7. "Now, since there are an even number of you today, I'm partnering you up for sparring." Kakashi said. "Naruto, you're with Sakura, Sasuke, you're with Aki." Naruto looked really happy. "YES!" Naruto excaimed. Meanwhile, Sasuke had a small smile across his face. Sakura looked kind of angry. "What's the matter?" Aki asked. "I got paired with Naruto! Oh well, I guess I'll just have to deal with it." Sakura said. "Stop complaining and go spar, Sakura!" Kakashi said. Sakura looked really angry, but she went and sparred anyway. Sasuke walked to Aki and said, "I guess you and I should spar now." Aki replied with a powerful punch to the face.

After about 45 minutes of sparring, Kakashi announced that it was lunch time. Naruto went off to get some ramen, Kakashi went to go eat some miso soup and Sakura went to have lunch with Ino, which left Sasuke and Aki alone together. "Sasuke," Aki said. "I have something I need to ask you." Sasuke began looking anxious now. "Y-yes?" He studdered. "What's up with your hair?! It looks like a freaking COCKATOO!" Sasuke looked dissapointed. "I...uh...I don't know..." he said. Aki just shrugged and started eating her sandwhich. "So...what do you have for lunch today?" She asked. Sasuke looked in his bento. "Apperently, I have sushi." he said.

After lunch, everyone continued sparring for about another hour until Kakashi annouced that they were done for the day. Aki was about to leave, until Sasuke pulled at her wrist. "What do you want?" She asked. Sasuke pulled her behind a tree. "There's something about you, Aki. Something that makes you different from the other girls, something that makes you stand out. I really like you. It may not seem like it..." He said. Then he gave Aki a soft kiss on the lips. "...but I really do care." After that, he left, leaving Aki in complete shock.
