Chapter two is here. I have a bit of writer's block for Kidnapped, so I'm coming out with this first. But, don't worry, if any of you that actually like this story read Kidnapped, the chapter should be up soon.

Chapter 2: Introductions

The four Konoha ninja and the four Flame ninja stood in front of the Hokage, a somewhat awkward silence prevailing. No one wanted to talk first, but everyone wanted the silence to end.

Eventually, it was Tsunade who spoke. "Well, I'm sure Kakashi has already welcomed you, but I will say it again. Welcome to Konohagakure, and I hope you all enjoy your stay here. I am Tsunade, Godaime of Konohagakure. Here," she handed a folder to Haine. "This is where you'll be staying while we talk about the alliance terms. As your leader requested, we provided some money for food and necessities. I'll learn all of your names later. Kakashi, why don't you show them around and introduce our team to them? I'll see all of you tomorrow here at 10 o'clock. Dismissed for now," All the Konoha ninja filed out, the puzzled Flame team following them.

"Is it just me, or were we basically thrown out?" Maguri asked the question to no one in particular, hoping that someone would answer.

Naruto was the one to answer this question. "Baa-chan probably just wants to drink her sake," The group was walking along the path, heading to Konoha's many training grounds.

He got a look from the Flame nin for this. "Are you related to Hokage-sama?" Haine asked. Naruto just shook his head at this. "Then why do refer to her as Grandmother?"

Sakura answered for Naruto. "He just has no respect for those above him. Both Tsunade-shishou and her old teammate are part of the Legendary Sannin, and he calls Jiraiya-sama Ero-Sennin," Now the Flame nin were completely and utterly confused at this team. Pink-haired girl scared them with her attitude, the black haired one creeped them out with that fake smile of his, the one with silver hair, well with the mask they couldn't say anything about him. And then there was the blonde one in front of them that just seemed like a complete moron. And they were supposed to spend the entire time with them? This was going to be an interesting mission.

They arrived at Training Ground Seven; Team Kakashi's training ground of choice. When they arrived, Nami noticed a change in the atmosphere. The blonde and the pink haired one seemed to get a little depressed in this area. Why, well she had no idea.

Then the leader of the group spoke, and the two changed back to normal.

"Well, since we'll be spending a lot of time together, we might as well introduce ourselves. My name Hatake Kakashi, and I'm a Jounin. My likes… you don't need to know. My dislikes… also not important for you to know. My goals… I don't want to tell you," The entire group sweat dropped at this statement.

Naruto decided it was his turn next. "I'm Uzumaki Naruto; my likes are ramen, training, and ramen. My dislikes are Sai-teme and going to the hospital because they won't let me train. My dream is to be the next Hokage!"

Sakura didn't wait for the reaction on her teammate. They had all heard that speech before, and didn't feel like listening to Naruto rant right now.

"My name is Haruno Sakura; my likes are to study new medical jutsu, and to study under my shishou, Tsunade-sama. My dislikes are Kakashi-sensei's books, and when Naruto acts like an idiot. My dream is to rescue a certain someone from another certain someone," Naruto and herself gained a determined look in their eyes, both looking at the ground.

The Flame ninja were very confused by the reaction of Naruto and Sakura to this area. I confused them, and made them want to know more about this place.

The last Konoha nin present decided to speak even if he wasn't going to say much. "My name is Sai. My likes are painting and coming up with nicknames for people. That is all you need to know about me," He still wore that creepy smile, and it was starting to scare everyone, even his teammates.

"Well, now that we introduced ourselves, it's your turn," Kakashi pointed to the team of four waiting. "Go on."

Since the team leader spoke for the Konoha nin, Haine decided she would go first. "My name is Shizumiya Haine. My likes are dancing and a western instrument called the piano. My dislikes are dirty novels and snakes." Trying to be discreet, Kakashi placed his little orange book back in his pack. "My dream is to be reunited with someone I haven't seen in a long time," The others waited to see if she would continue, but when she didn't, the male of the team decided to speak.

"My name is Touguu Maguri. My likes are pranking people and… my tea," while saying this, the boy pulled out a thermos, opened the lid, and took a deep swig of the steaming liquid inside. The Konoha team was confused; the Flame team looked exasperated and embarrassed. "My dislikes are prissy pricks and people who can't accept the strange," His look was sly, as though he knew something he shouldn't know. He ended his statement there, so he settled back, waiting for the rest of the team to finish.

Sakura, Naruto, Kakashi and Sai all looked at the two remaining girls of the team; they were both acting awkward and shy, not willing to speak to the strangers. An awkward settled over the crowd. Finally, Maguri decided to take pity on the females of his group. "The blonde is Hitsume Nii, and the black haired one is Kai Nami. As you can see, they are both really shy, but they're both great when you get to know them. And since I know they'll kill me if I say anymore, I'm gonna stop right there."

Kakashi sighed having these overly shy people in the group was going to be hard to do deal with.

"Well, how about this. Since we only really know a few things about each other, how about we have a little spar? Our team against yours. We can pair off. Maguri, you can fight Naruto. Nii can fight Sakura, and Nami can fight Sai. I'll fight you Haine, if you would so kindly agree," Kakashi gave one of his one eyed smiles. Haine sighed. No point in disagreeing.

"Fine. Best three out of four. My team wins, your team pays for dinner. Your team wins, we pay," She stuck her hand out to him to agree on the deal. Kakashi, not being one to turn down a deal he thought he was sure to win, placed his hand in hers.

"Of course."

OH MY GOD, FINALLY. I never thought I would get this thing out. But here it is, hot off the presses. You all can have it and dissect it as much as you want. I tired. Bye people, and until next time.
