"Alright squirt! Listen up, because I'm only going to saw this once!" Sakura paled at the "small" obstacle course her new guardian took her to. Was it small? Sure, to a giant maybe. "You jump on those floating lily pads, run across that rope, duck under the weapons that fly at you, and climb up that wall." And Anko called that easy.

Sakura stared at her. The purple haired teen stared back and pointed to the starting line. The pinkette huffed and got ready. Anko raised her hand, and dropped it. Sakura took off, jumping on two lily pads before falling in the water. She screamed and splashed to the shore.

"Did I forget to tell you that there was pharana in there? Silly me." Anko laughed manicaly, thoroghly scaring the poor girl.

"Well, how am I suppose to get across?" Anko stopped laughing at glanced at her.

"What do ninjas need to create jutsu?" The snake mistress asked.

Sakura thought. A light bulb flashed above her head. "Chakra."

"Correct." Anko said. "Use your chakra to step on the lillies."

Sakura went over to the water and put a foot on a lily. It bobbed under and then came up. She put all her weight on it, falling in. The fish swam up and almost bit her, but she was faster this time. Soaking wet, the cherry blossom tried again, and again.

She would put too much in, making the lily go under. She would put too little in, make herself fall in. Sakura was tired and soaked to the bone when she finally stood for a minute on a lily pad. Anko clapped and pulled her onto dry land before she went under again. Sakura flopped onto her back, staring up at the bright sky, panting. Anko flopped down next to her and watched the clouds with her for awhile.

Soon, Sakura was dried out, with some of her chakra back. The purple haired teen pulled her up and forced her out on a lily.

"How come you're making me do this again?" Sakura asked as she stepped off onto another one.

"So you'll build up your chakra reserve." Anko answered curtly. Sakura nodded and focused on getting to the other side. She made it three-quarters of the way before her chakra gave out. She yelped and swam to the bank.

"How am I going to get back now?" She whined. Anko sighed and shook her head.

"You wait 'til you have enough, and cross back over squirt." She said. She pulled out a kunai and began to twirl it, pulling out a file with the other hand. Sakura moaned and rested on the ground. Of all of the people to watch over her, she had to get the craziest one. Anko sneezed and glanced over at Sakura. "Better not be thinking I'm crazy squirt! I'll come over there and make you meet the craziest person I know!" She warned.

"That's right Lee! Now do 1000 push-ups while I do 1000 laps!" Gai yelled.

"Yoshi! Yes Gai-sensei! The flames of youth will never die out with us!" Rock Lee exclaimed, making a good-guy pose.

Gai had tears running out of his eyes and was wiping them away. "Yes! The flames of youth shall burn bright!" The older Green Beast said, none too softly.

"Gai-sensei!" Lee said, tears also running from his eyes.

"Lee!"

"Gai-sensei!"

"Lee!"

"Gai-sensei!" They hugged, making the dreaded picture scene pop up behind them. The glitter shown extra bright in the noon sun, and the waves went higher. The bigger Green Beast sneezed, unfortunately (thankfully), ruining the picture. The waves crashed and crashed over them, the sparkles dimming before going out completely.

"Odd. I must be sick." Gai rubbed his nose and sniffed.

"That is very unyouthful Gai-sensei! We must get you to the hospital so you can be cured!" Lee picked up his sensei and ran the hundred miles to the Konaha Hospital.

Anko shivered and glanced down. Sakura had crossed over while she was thinking about Konoha's Green Beast. She nodded and lead Sakura away from the obstacle course. The pinkette scooped up her bag as they passed.

"Where are we going Anko?" Sakura asked.

Anko smirked and patted her stomach. "Well," She started. "I thought we could go get some lunch and then bug scar-head!" Sakura happily agreed, skipping beside her care-taker. Anko smiled as the girl got in front f her.

Soon, they ended up staring at the store front of a dango shop. Anko drooled at the menu while Sakura looked around. Her forest green eyes landed on a boy her age. His yellow hair spiked in different directions. Iruka walked beside him, hand on his shoulder. Sakura went to tug on Anko's shirt but she disappeared. Iruka screamed and jumped back.

"Iruka-kun!" Anko squealed. "How nice to see you!" She claped her hands and Sakura came running over. She stopped next to her and smiled in Iruka's direction.

"Hello Iruka-sensei!" Iruka nodded back, looking from her to Anko. The blond boy shyed away from them, hiding behind the man's leg. Iruka sighed and pulled the blond from behind him.

"Now, now Naruto. Say hello to Anko and Sakura." Iruka childed him. Naruto cracked a small smile and waved. Sakura waved back and gave him her best smile. Naruto relaxed and held out his hand. Sakura took it and they shook, silently agreeing to be friends.

"Why don't you two come with us to get something to eat?" Anko looked from the two kids to Iruka. The teacher sigh but nodded his head none the least. The group of four walked into the dango shop, much to Naruto's displeasure.

They got a table in the back and waited for their food to come out. The blond and pinkette talked while Anko and Iruka had a staring contest. Neither backed down as the food finally came. Sakura broke the tension by poking Anko cautiously in the side. The purple haired teen glanced at her before digging into her dango sticks.

Naruto took a bite of his dango and chewed. His eyes watered as he ate more. He finished second to Anko. Sakura took her time as she watched her new friend eat. She wondered why he ate them so fast, since moving in with Anko, dango became her favorite meal.

"Did you not like them Naruto?" Sakrua asked when they were on their way to see Ibiki.

Naruto shook his head wildly. "No way Sakura! They were awesome! Only second to ramen." Anko heard this and turned slowly towards him. The blond gulped and sweatdroped.

"What did you say squirt?" Her eyes turned into flames and more flames roared up behind her. The sweatdrop became bigger as he looked for a way out. Just as Anko was going to lung for him, two green blurs jumped to the sides of her. She stopped and struggled against her cage.

"Anko! The Flames of Youth are strong in you!" Gai yelled in her ear. The snake mistress screamed as she beat both Green Beasts away from her. The group of three sweatdroped as she beat the two to a near pulp.

"I hope Tsunade-sama can get here fast." Iruka said. 'Or any medic nin for the matter.' He tought as she draged the two unconcious beasts to the hospital.

"Oh Iruka! Why don't you take the two and go visit scar-head for me?" She asked in a sugary-sweet voice. Iruka nodded and pushed the two kids towards the Interrogation Center.

"I'm back!" Anko sang as she waltz in the Interrogation Center. Ibiki shivered as she got too close.

"Hello psycho. Now... Get away from me!" He barked. Anko chuckled and sat atop of his desk. Ibiki sighed and wrote his name on one of the papers.

"So where are the kids and Iruka?" Anko asked as she sharpened a kunai. The head interrogator gulped and stared at the now sharper kunai.

He watched as she trailed it up and down his desk, scratching it up. "In one of the interrogation rooms." Anko snapped her head towards his. "I-it wasn't my idea." She growled and ran out of the room. The interrogator let out a breath of air he was holding. That teen scared the crap out of him.

Said teen was running through the rooms, tiring to find everyone. She was at the last door and sighed when she heard Sakura's laugh on the inside. The door swung open, Iruka on the other side. He smiled and moved so she could go in.

"It's the crazy lady!" Naruto yelled. Anko glared at the blond, making him hide behind Sakura. "Save me Sakura!"

Sakura chuckled and pushed him over to her care-taker. Anko gave Sakura a smiled of gratitude and fisted some of his shirt. The blond yelped and struggled to get out of her hold. She smirked and pulled back an arm. Today, he learned never to piss off a person that is mentally unstable.
