AN –

So uh here is chapter 2. Chapter One JUST came out but I am in such an eager mood to write. I hope that this goes over quite well because I want to share Ryn with this community. I really like her as a character to be honest. I hardly ever do like my fictional characters so Ryn was a first for me. So uh this will have multiple parts to it because I can. So enjoy. Also…Spot any other references in here? 8D

Chapter Two: Faith, Trust, and a bit of Pixie dust.

Ryn had met up with Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto. Now they were waiting. It was quite obvious they were annoyed. Ryn had a calm attitude about this. She had yet to confront Sasuke about the Uchiha who slayed her clan. Did he even know that an Uchiha did that? She would find out later she supposed. Naruto peeked out the door then asked, "Why is the sensei of our team #7 so damn late?!"

Sakura sighed at him, "Naruto stay still!"

"All the other teams have gone off with their teachers and Iruka sensei also left," Naruto said with annoyance. Ryn just rolled her eyes.

Then came Sakura's voice again, "Hey! What are you doing, Naruto?!"

Ryn looked at Naruto. What was the moron doing? He was putting something in the door.

"You're an idiot," she told Naruto. He grinned at her and then the other team members went off about how their sensei wouldn't fall for a prank like that. Ryn stayed out of the conversation. Then the door opened and what Naruto put in the door fell on his head.

"Ha! Got you!" Naruto said.

"I tried to stop him sensei," Sakura said to the man. Ryn, like Sasuke, stayed quite silent.

"My first impression of you guys…I don't like you guys," he said. Ryn didn't care what he thought of them. She wasn't aiming to please anyone. He took them outside.

"How about some introductions then?" he asked.

"What do you want to know?" asked someone. Ryn wasn't quite sure who it was.

"How about your likes, dislikes, dreams for the future, hobbies and stuff like that," he said. Then Naruto said how about he introduce himself first and Sakura then chimed in that he did seem suspicious. The man introduced himself as Kakashi Hatake who had lot of hobbies, and no desire to share his likes or dislikes with them, and then it was their turn.

"So all we learned was his name?" Sakura asked. Then Naruto introduced himself. His likes and dislikes were about ramen. But his dream was to become Hokage. Ryn wondered if this annoying kid could do it. Then he said his hobbies were pranks he guessed.

"Next," Kakashi said. So Sasuke introduced himself next. He had a ton of dislikes, not a lot of likes, he had an ambition to resurrect his clan and kill a certain man, and then that was all he said.

"Alright female number one," Kakashi said. Then Sakura introduced herself. The only thing she said was her dislike which was Naruto.

"And finally you," he said to Ryn. Ryn rolled her eyes.

"My name is Ryn Haku. I like not being called Sakato's daughter and I like danger if you so would call it that I also like the truth. I dislike the Uchiha clan because they massacred my clan and I also dislike this team because there is Sakura whom is quite annoying, Naruto whom is quite annoying also, and then there is brooding emo boy. I also don't like being forced to work with people. I have a dream...That is to find out the truth behind me since I know nothing and my hobbies? Well none of your business," she said to them. Kakashi let out a tiny sigh then said that was enough and they'd start their duties tomorrow.

"Duties! What duties?!" Naruto asked him.

"Well first off we're doing something with just us five," he said.

"What? What?" Naruto asked excitedly.

"Survival training," Kakashi replied to him. Which caused everyone but Ryn to be confused. She got what he was saying right away.

"I'm your opponent so this isn't normal training," he said. Ryn laughed a bit.

"Something funny?" he asked her.

"Nothing at all," Ryn said an amused smirk on her face. Kakashi shrugged a bit.

"Oh also…This training is super hard and 66% fail and only 10 will be chosen as genin the others will be sent back to the academy," Kakashi said. Everyone looked grim but Ryn kept a straight face. But she was kind of panicked. She didn't want to go back to the academy! Naruto asked what was the point of graduating was then if they were just going to fail and get sent back. Kakashi said to meet him on the training field with all their Shinobi tools and to skip breakfast. Ryn was quite determined now.

He handed them a handout and told them not to be late. So they all left. Great this was going to be fun wasn't it? She headed back home slowly but Sasuke was there following her. She turned to look at him.

"What do you want?" she asked him.

"You said the Uchiha clan slayed the Hakus," he told her.

"It's true," she said to him.

"According to who?" he asked her.

"My dad. He knows stuff about my clan! I am going to find out!" she said to him.

"Is that all you know that the Uchiha clan slayed the Hakus?" he asked her.

"That's all I know for now," she replied to him.

"Also…It's not normal for a girl to not fawn over me. For not fawning over me thanks," he said.

"Whatever Uchiha. I need to go," she said to him. She walked home. What the hell what did he mean by is that all you know? Was there a secret? Arriving at home she greeted her father.

"Who is your sensei?" he asked her.

"Kakashi Hatake," she said. He laughed a bit.

"Is there anything else you're going to tell me about my clan?" she asked.

"Your clan has a kekkai genkai known as the Haku Eye. You'll unlock it probably when Sasuke Uchiha unlocks his Sharingan. It is traditional that happens," he said. With that he went out the door telling her not to wait up. She left her dad a note that she didn't need breakfast tomorrow sensei's orders and then the night came.

"Survival training huh? I'll show him!" she said to herself as she stared at the ceiling from her bed. Her hair was down, because it was easier to sleep in like that than in a ponytail. She let out a tiny sigh. She would need to have a little faith and trust in her teammates despite the fact she hated them! They were all stupid. She fell asleep quite easily.

The morning came sooner than she expected because time had flown quick. She got dressed and flew out the door. She found her teammates waiting.

"You and he are late," Naruto said.

"I overslept," Ryn said glaring at Naruto. She didn't need the lecture. She was quite fine with knowing she was late. Eventually Kakashi sensei came.

"Morning guys!" he said cheerfully.

"You're late!" Sakura and Naruto said. Ryn just kept a steady stare on him. He set down a clock and set it to noon.

"I have three bells and it's your job to get them from me," he said to them. He explained the rest of the task. Naruto went at Kakashi and he easily had the kunai in Naruto's hand behind his head. Ryn was almost caught off guard.

"I haven't said start yet," he said to them. He said a few other things and even said he was starting to like them and then they all took off. Ryn watched the others take off. They should've stuck together but of course they didn't. Kakashi was gone, too. She looked around her. She needed to be smart about this. She quickly turned around.

"Good thinking," Kakashi told her.

"I'm not completely stupid," she said. He grinned at her and then disappeared. Off to torment someone else she supposed. She hid up high because she wanted to watch what happened to everyone else and learn from their mistakes. She saw Naruto fail pretty epically. She didn't laugh like she would because she was watching. Soon she heard Sakura scream. Genjutsu got her. She was quite stupid to fall for that. Then there was Sasuke. He was saying how he wasn't like the others.

"Well Sasuke prove you aren't. I have got two of you yet," Kakashi said. Ryn barely even breathed. Ryn watched their fight. It was actually pretty interesting. And Kakashi even said he acknowledged Sasuke was different from the others and then pulled him underground.

"Found you," she heard a voice.

"God damn it," she said.

"Good hiding spot," he said to her. She thrust her food straight into his chest but he caught it. She twisted away from him which sent her falling out of the tree. She landed easily. Where is he at? Up? Down? To my right? To my left? Behind me?

She really had no idea. She moved a bit. He was right behind her and the only reason she found that out was because she bumped onto him. He put his arm around her throat.

"Give up yet?" he asked her.

"No way in hell," she said. His grip tightened. Sakura had come over to see Sasuke and was hugging him. Great she was being ignored by love sick girl. Such a useless shit. She rammed her elbow into his gut and then the bell rang. Kakashi's arm disappeared. Naruto was tied up when they got to where lunch was at.

"You guys look hungry you should eat," he said to them. Ryn was sitting down as were the others.

"Well you guys shouldn't be sent back to the academy," Kakashi began.

"Then did we all pass?!" Naruto asked.

"You should all quit as ninjas," Kakashi said to them. Ryn felt a surge of anger. Quit as a ninja?! No way in hell would she do that.

"Why should we quit as ninjas?! So what we didn't get the bells?!" Naruto said.

"All four of you are punks who don't deserve to be ninjas," Kakashi said to them. At this point Ryn was on her feet as was Sasuke. She was not a punk and she deserved this more than any of them. Sasuke charged at Kakashi and then had him on the ground instantly. He looked at Ryn like come on challenge me. She just sat down.

"That is why you are a punk," he told Sasuke. Kakashi then launched into an explanation about how teamwork would've gotten them the bells. He looked at Ryn.

"You lone wolf would've been dead. Never linger too long and learn to have faith and trust in your teammates," he said.

"Whatever grandpa," she said. Kakashi looked annoyed but didn't say anything. He got off Sasuke and then handed lunch to Ryn, Sasuke, and Sakura.

"Enjoy and don't give any to Naruto," he said to them. Ryn thrusted hers at Naruto after untying him. "Here," she said to him.

"Kakashi sensei said not to!" Sakura said to her.

"I don't care. I wouldn't let my teammate starve even if I find them annoying and brooding," she said to her. Sasuke handed his to her. She took it. Sakura had been eating hers. She sighed and handed the rest to Sasuke. Ryn stared at her food. She wasn't hungry so she slid it to Sakura. She was hungry yes but it was them before her. She may hate them but they needed to get out of this alive. She'd rather see them alive than her. All of a sudden she saw Sasuke sit across from her and pop chopsticks in her mouth. It had food on the end.

"I wouldn't let you starve either," he told her. She mumbled something that was not understandable due to the food in her mouth. Kakashi then came up to them.

"You guys...Pass," he said. That caused a shocked look on all their faces. Kakashi then explained why they passed.

"Those who don't take care of their comrads are lower than trash," Kakashi said. Naruto looked at Ryn with a grin.

"Even though you hate them Ryn I was surprised to see you pass up on food which makes you a good nin so far. You need to train but once you train I think you'll be really good," he told her. She just stared at him.

"We'll begin our duties tomorrow. So see you then!" he said to them. They all left at the same time. Ryn had passed. So what would await them tomorrow?
