A sigh could be heard from behind one of the surrounding trees. Not bothering to hide himself anymore a young man stepped foward. A mask hid most of his features, only revealing dark, sincere eyes. The black hooded unifrm covered his hair making him hard to identify. Kyo walked easily towards the park bench and stood towering over the small girl. Sakura, not being intimidated in the least, did not even bother to look up at him. The aura around the man was quickly growing impatient. Finally he gave in to the silent competition.
"Sakura," he started, " What are you doing here? Lounging around is not tolerated."
FInally Sakura looked up. THere was a spark in her eye that Kyo didn't like. "I am not lounging around as you say,Kyo. NOt everything I do concerns you. THere is a reason for me being here so please leave. NOW."
"Aww Sakura-chan don't be like that, you know I was just kidding," immediatly Kyo's entire self had changed to relaxed and easygoing.
"Leave Kyo, don't you have a report to write," Sakura replied.
" Yea, yea," Kyo pat her hair a few times, " you pretend you don't enjoy me presence," and with a bright smile he diseappered amongst the trees agian.

It was quiet in classroom 344 seeing as only the three genin of squad 7 remained. SAsuke was leaning up agianst one of the front desks lost in thought while Sakura sat in one of the desks in the back. Naruto...well, he was quickly losing patience and maybe even some of his sanity from waiting so long. He began to pace the room.
"Whats taking our sensei so long. All the other teams have gone off already. Even Iruka-sensei went home already!" WIth that Naruto got an idea for yet anouther of his famous pranks. Giggling to himself quite childishly he grabbed one of the board's erasers.
"Dobe, what are you doing," Sasuke asked with an eyebrow raised in slight interest. By now Naruto was dragging a chair over to the door.
"Hehe. THis is what our sensei gets for showing up late." He opened the door slighlty and while standing on the chair placed the eraser in the crack at the top. WHen the door was opened the eraser would fall on its unssuspecting victim.
"Hnn. Our sensei is an elite jounin. THere's no way he'd fall for that," Sasuke muttered something that couldn't be made out and continued on with his prank.
A slight noise outside alerted the genin to the presence of someone whom they assumed to be their sensei three watched in anticipation as a hand slid open the door. Then a mans head stuck itself in... and the eraser fell directly onto his head. FOr a few moments there was silence. The sensei too shocked to say anything. Naruto too happy that his prank worked and the other two, too stunned that that their sensei had indeed fallen for that obvious prank.
Naruto's loud burst of laughter brought everyone out of silence. He held his stomach with tears running down whisker marked cheeks chanting, "he fell for it, fell for it."
THe sensei managed to grab everyone's attention by clearing his throat. INstantly the genin quieted down. At least they had some respect he couldn't help but think.
"Ahem, my first impression of you all is...I hate you," _
"ALright, why don't we get to know each other a bit. SAy somthing about yourselves."
Team 7 was sitting on the roof of the academy. Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto sat on the floor while their sensei leaned agianst the railing reading a book.
"Ehh, well what are we suppossed to say?" Naruto asked.
"How about things like your hobbies ,dreams, likes and dislikes, stuff like that."
" WHy don't you start it out...sensei?" Sakura questioned.
"OK then, I am Hatake Kakashi. I what I like and dislike is none of your business. My dreams...I haven't really thought about it. Goals...Hobbies, I have lots of hobbies," Kakashi answered vaguely.
"SO all we really learned is his name, ne? Naruto whispered.
"Next, you blondie," Kakashi ordered.
Naruto immediatly brightened up. " I'm Uzumaki Naruto. I like ramen especially the kind Iruka-sensei buys me. My hobbies are comparing different types of cup ramen. I dislike the 3 minutes it takes for it to heat up. My goal is to be the greatest hokage, dattlebayo!"
"Does this kid think about anything besides ramen. He's sure grown up in an interesting way" Kakashi thought." Next, the girl in the middle."
Sakura, who had all this time been in her own little world, lazily lifted her head up." Watashi wa Sakura..."
When she didn't continue even the stoic Uchiha turned his attention towards her. SAkura lowered her head agian and continued playing with her kunai.
"WEll she's a bit different," Kakashi thought," And lastly you on the right. HE pointed to Sasuke.
With bangs shading his eyes and chin resting on folded hands Sasuke gave off the air of mysterious bad boy. " Watashi was...Uchiha Sasuke. I dislike alot of things and don't particularly like anything. My dream... is more of a goal because it will happen. I will revive my clan and kill a certain man."
"As I thought,"
Kakashi looked to see the reactions of Sasukes teammates to his confession. Naruto was shifting uncomfortably. Probably wondering if he was Sasukes target. A sigh could be heard from the teams only female member instantly drawing everyone's attention. SHe stood up. SHe looked up at the sky and breathed deeply.
" Well now that Sasuke has gone and ruined a perfectly good day with his depressing story I'll take my leave, ja," with that she turned to head towards the stairs.
Sasuke glared at her while the others looked somewhat surprised. Kakashi found that this would be a good time to tell them about his little surprise. "HOld on a minute Sakura. THere's one thing I still have to tell you. Meet tomorrow at the training grounds for your first mission-"
Naruto's eyes lit up." Yes our first mission. I bet it's something super cool. What is it huh, sensei," he interupted.
Kakashi giggled.
" Whats so funny?" the ever quiet Uchiha asked.
" Well I'll tell you but your not going to like it. TOmmorrow we'll be having somewhat of a survival training mission. IN order to fully become genin you must pass this."
FRom the door leading back inside Sakura spoke up," What was the point in taking a graduation test then and giving us these headbands. Making everyone feel proud of themselves only to find out that the next day it'll be taken away..."
"Yes,um...about that. Well, don't eat breakfast tomorrow or you'll puke. Ja-ne!" With a quick wave Kakashi poofed away before they could ask anything else.
