Chapter 2

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or the story there-of. I do own Avetre Maevrin, if she seems off the wall it's because she is. If Maevrin appears to be to powerful then by all means, please tell me, I am trying to go at any combats in this game logically. That being said, I don't really know how she'd react in the situations I'll be placing her in, because in our game she's 150 years old, I might work that in, I might not.

AN: A little bit of information for those of you who don't know about my characters: Avetre Maevrin and probably any other OC are being brought in from an RPG, as in a real one, the type involving pen and paper. That being said, I actually did roll out the combat in this chapter...and yes, the chapter does stick true to the results.

"Class, we have a new genin joining us. She passed the test yesterday, that being said, the numbers of passing genin allow for one team to have four members, she'll be the fourth one. Avetre Maevrin, please have a seat." was Iruka's opening statement the following morning. The majority of the class turned to look at the mini-nin standing beside their sensei. Most of the class passed her off without a second glance; she looked entirely to frail to be much of a bother to them.

Maevrin nodded at the sensei before moving to take an unoccupied seat near the window. The seat next to hers contained a rather nervous little creature with pale lavender eyes and indigo hair. The poor girl, almost as small as Maeve herself, turned to the newcomer, "Ohaiyo, gozaimasu, m-my name's H-Hinata."

Maevrin smiled at her, "I'm Maevrin, you may call me Maeve. It is a pleasure to meet you."

Hinata smiled shyly, "I hope you g-get a g-good t-team."

"You and me both..." Hinata giggled at that before turning her attention back to the front of the room. Maevrin noticed, with a great deal of amusement, I might add, Hinata's blush when a rather...boisterous blond haired boy crashed into the room. 'My word! Is that...thing a shinobi? Orange! What self-respecting nin would be caught dead wearing orange! That just screams, "Here I am, come kill me!"'

"Yes, Naruto, we know you're here. Now please have a seat."

Maevrin cast her gaze around the room, picking out people she was certain she wouldn't like. 'Does that girl have pink hair? She does! Blood, that must make it difficult to blend in, that's a whole lot worse than orange. And what's with him? The bloody brat in the back, what an attitude...' She was brought out of her musings when Iruka mentioned her, "Avetre Maevrin, you'll be on Team 7 with...Uchiha Sasuke...Haruno Sakura...and Uzumaki Naruto. Team 8..."

Maevrin swung her gaze to seek out her new teammates, the blonde haired shinobi disaster was evidently on her team as was the...oh, no. No, no, no, no, no. That blasted loud-mouthed pinkette, no way. From the way pinky was carrying on the attitude laden brat was also on the team. Maevrin groaned, "Why me..." she whimpered as she tried to become one with the table through blunt force. Hinata blushed before patting Maeve's back awkwardly, "It w-won't b-be that b-bad. Y-you've g-got N-N-Naruto-kun." Maevrin smiled weakly at Hinata.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maevrin liked to think of herself as a brave lass. She'd stared down Aramis Blackheart...that took guts. She'd faced dragons, undead things, spiders, and dragon men, she didn't scare easily...at least she didn't think she did. But then, she'd never had the terror of being placed on a team with a bishi-boy, a fan girl, and an idiot. It was three hours after the announcement of her team, and she was dead certain of one thing, the lot of them would be dead within their first real mission. She might have to work hard to make their eminent demise look like an accident or enemy attack, but they would be dead. What terrified her was what would happen if she wasn't able to kill them. She was practical, she knew her grasp on sanity was...tenuous at best...but it would be completely gone with prolonged exposure to the idiots that composed her team.

Speaking of the idiot, what was he saying?

"Bored...bored...bored...man I'm bored. Where is our sensei?"

Maevrin turned her bloodshot eyes to the orange terror. What was he doing? Why was he placing an eraser over the door, did he really think...never mind, the man did. She stood as their sensei poked his head into the room and promptly displaced the eraser. The silver haired Cyclops regarded his students with a flat gaze, "Based on my first impression of you...I hate you."

'Join the club.'

Five minutes later on the roof

Kakashi looked at his pupils, the four of them were ranged out on the stairs. His eye flicked to the smallest one, a black haired, green-eyed girl he'd never seen before. He noted with amusement that she seemed to be twitching rather badly due to the close proximity of the other three students. He sighed before speaking, "Now, I'd like you all to tell us a little about yourselves. You know, likes, dislikes, dreams, ambitions, hobbies, things like that."

He frowned when the pink girl asked him how it was done. "My name is Hatake Kakashi, I don't like to talk about my like or dislikes, my dreams are none of your business, and I have a lot of hobbies. Now you, blondie."

The blond boy nodded...ramen, that was the theme, and dreams to become the Hokage. The black haired boy was next, no likes, dislikes, and a disturbing dream, "...my ambition is to kill a certain person..." Kakashi noted the reactions of his other pupils. The blonde looked freaked, the pink haired one looked like she was about to swoon, and the midget looked...bored.

"Okay, pinky, you're next."

Sakura was only interested in one thing, Sasuke. Kakashi sighed, things were looking rather grim for him, "Okay, lastly, the midget." Said midget growled at him.

"My name is Avetre Maevrin, call me Maeve. I like Bob, Fred, and George...you'll meet them later, and squirrels. I don't like fame. My hobbies include coming up with new ways to annoy people and making poisons, researching poisons, and using poisons. My dream for the future...to stay out of as many wars as bloody possible."

Kakashi blinked...oooooooooookay. That was odd. He smirked, "Well, now that we've been introduced...our first mission is tomorrow, it's survival training. It has a 66 rate of failure. Be sure not to eat breakfast, you'll end up puking. Here are the parameters." He handed out some slips of paper before poofing away.

Maevrin tilted her head, she was certain she'd heard him laughing maniacally.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kakashi arrived at training ground 7 and found three very disgruntled genin. He glanced around, looking for Maevrin; he found her sitting on one of the posts he intended to use in his tests. Maevrin was writing something in a book. Naruto and Sakura finally noticed him, they swung around and screamed, "YOU'RE LATE!" Sasuke simply looked annoyed. Maevrin merely shut her book and hopped off the post.

"Sensei-san...what, did you forget to set your alarm?" Maeve grinned feraly.

Kakashi sweat dropped, 'Already, I have no respect from my students.' He then grinned in anticipation, "Morning students. The test ends at noon." he pulled an alarm from one of his many pockets and set it on a stump. He turned to his students and explained the test to them. "If you want to get the bells, then you'll need to come at me with the intent to kill." Naruto as he expected got hyped up and attacked him before he even said to begin. He sighed and moved to subdue the hyperactive boy, "I didn't say go yet..." He noticed that Maevrin looked amused, "Maevrin, you don't seem to have any weapons, were are your kunai?"

Maevrin shrugged, "Never used a kunai or a shurikan before. I do have some weapons, but I don't wanna show them to you yet, so there, nya."

Kakashi groaned, "Joy. GO!" Kakashi grinned as his four students disappeared.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maevrin shot disappeared into the trees, hesitating only briefly to grab her longbow and quiver, she easily blended in with the foliage. She had arrived at the training ground, after eating breakfast, to hide her weapons in the foliage and scout out the territory. She'd taken his warning about the breakfast with a grain of salt; she'd doubted it would be any worse than some of the things she'd seen. Her eyes were still locked on her new sensei and the crazed orange blonde that was getting ready to leap out at him. 'Well, if he wants to get his head handed to him, then more power to him. This at least will give me some idea of what I'm going to be up against.' She sighed, wishing yet again for her old friends Wooky and Maelynn. They at least knew what they were doing...most of the time. If they were there they'd be able to help her in her objective.

Maevrin took a deep breath and sharpened her concentration. She watched Kakashi, studying him for his weakness. Her previous sensei had taught her how to study people, how to exploit what weaknesses they had and how to penetrate their defenses. She growled slightly at the man as he pulled out an orange covered book. She'd seen Gwen's brother-in-law read that type of book once before. Then Naruto flew off the handle, 'Idiot! Don't ever become enraged like that!' She noticed some movement out of the corner of her eye, turning her head quickly she notice Sasuke studying Kakashi almost as sharply as she had. She stared blankly for a while before a suspicion surfaced in her mind, 'This...all of this crap with Naruto...it's almost like they planned it...' This disturbed her greatly, could her observations have been wrong? Was Naruto really as dumb as he acted or was it a ruse? She had noticed that Sasuke had different levels of apathy, between normal people, fan girls, and Naruto. She sat back, thinking, 'Those little devils! They've got the entire village fooled! I could grow to respect these brats.' Her attention was drawn back to the fight and the evident outcome. 'Oo; Ooooooooooouch, that didn't look pleasant.'

Kakashi started to blush, it was taking all Maevrin's self discipline not to just feather the pervert where he stood. She refrained because she knew he was expecting an attack and she knew that it wasn't the right time or place to set an ambush. She liked to think of herself as down to earth. That being said, she knew she didn't stand a chance against Kakashi with a conventional strategy. She'd never be able to take him on toe-to-toe and jutsu wise she was...rather lacking...majorly. So she had to use common sense...and her well developed sense of paranoia. Maevrin's musings were cut short upon the arrival of Naruto's shadow clones, 'Solid clones? Oh, blood, Maelynn would give her eyeteeth to know that one!' She was so sorely disappointed when Naruto flubbed...again. She saw where Kakashi went and prepared to stalk him. When he moved she silently followed, no more than a shadow.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kakashi looked around, wondering, not for the first time, what had happened to the midget of his group. He'd seen neither hide nor hair of her during the entirety of the exam and it was starting to worry him. He glanced over at the fainted Sakura and the grumbling head of Sasuke. So much for them. He blinked his exposed eye and sighed sadly, well, he doubted Maevrin would offer a hand to her teammates anytime soon...sooooooo back to the book. He let out a perverted giggle as he pulled out his infamous orange book. That was the last nail on his coffin. He jerked slightly as he felt a stinging pain hit his back, penetrating the layer of ring mail in his vest and erupting out of his chest. He stared in shock as he saw a bloody arrow bury itself in a tree on the other side of the clearing. The last thing he saw before he died was Maevrin walking over to him with a rather feral grin on her face.
