Chapter 3: RoofTop Confessionary! Introductions and instructions!

The team sat up on the rooftop of the academy, sitting on the stairs while awaiting further instruction from their new Sensei. The seating order was as follows: Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto, and then Kiyowa. While Sakura had once again taken initiative to seat herself next to the raven haired boy, Kiyowa couldn't bear to even try it. She would probably get the strangest looks, or simply find herself unable to function like she would away from him. He distracted her too much, and that was a fact.

"Mm.. Alright, then. I think it's time we begin introductions."

"Introductions?" Repeated the pink haired girl, tilting her head to the side while questioning the male. He glanced blankly at her for a moment, then nodded his head, "Correct. Introductions. I'd like to know: What's your name? What are your likes, dislikes, dreams for the future, things like that."

Sakura seemed to process what information she had been fed, and then turned up to him, "Well, sensei, how about you go first? You could be our example."

"Ah, alright. Well, my name is Kakashi Hatake," He began.

Kiyowa nodded furiously, being overly delighted that she had finally learned the name of their sensei so that she would no longer have to mentally refer to him as the awkward name she had given him, which was somewhere along the lines of 'Silver hair Mask man'.

"Hmm. Likes. I don't feel like telling you that. Dislikes, don't feel like telling you that either. Dreams for the future? .. Well I never thought about it."

The mouths of Naruto and Sakura dropped until they smacked the ground below. They were obviously less than satisfied with the information given. Sasuke twitched once again, showing his displeasure as well. All he had really told them was his name, but to Kiyowa, that seemed to be enough. She personally seemed delighted with the lack of information, for it meant that just like any other mystery, she would have the opportunity to solve it.

"Hmm? Who's next. How about we start with you and go down," Kakashi said, pointing to Kiyowa.

"Wait, Kakashi-sensei! I wanna go first!" Naruto shouted. "My name is Naruto Uzumaki! I love Ramen! All kinds of Ramen, especially Ichiraku Ramen! They're the best! I hate the three minutes you have to wait for the ramen to cook, and my dream is to be Hokage!"

'Well he's Hyperactive.. that's for sure. What a big dream, especially compared to the other information he gave."

Kakashi shook his head lightly then turned toward Sakura, "I guess you're next."

"Uhm.. I'm Sakura Haruno.. I like…" She turned her gaze toward Sasuke and a heavy blush came over her cheeks. "My goals for the future.. um.." Once again her eyes were directed in the Uchiha's direction and it would seemed as though her face grew even more red if that was possible. "Oh! And I hate Naruto!"

"GAH! SAKURA-CHANNN!" The Uzumaki Whined.

Kiyowa turned her head to the side, feeling the burden of inferiority strike her once again like a ton of bricks.

'Teenage girl thoughts. It seems she's more interested in boys than ninja training…'

Kakashi and the others turned their gaze to Sasuke who met their eyes with his own apathetic ones, "You're up."

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha.." He had a hardened expression that seemed to grow even darker by the passing moment. Kiyowa could feel her hands start to shake just by looking at it. It was as if there was a similar force as earlier that was causing her pain now more so the butterflies she experienced earlier. It was terrifying. "I hate a lot of things, and I like nothing in particular… And my dream for the future is not a dream, because I will make it a reality. I'm going to kill a certain someone."

Naruto gulped, shaking as well, but Kiyowa could feel her knees knock together and arms jitter and shake from top to bottom while her entire body gained uncontrollable chills.

'Revenge driven..' Kakashi knew something about that, something that he didn't show, and obviously wasn't intending to lead on anything he knew. He moved his back from the rail on which he was leaning and placed his gloved on the back of his neck, "Well, if that's all of the intr-"

"No wait! Kakashi-sensei, you forgot about her!" Naruto shouted, pointing his finger in Kiyowa's direction, who was just beginning to recover from the excruciating pain brought about from Sasuke's dark episode.

"Hmm? I Guess I did. Well then," He looked in Kiyowa's direction then lifted his free hand, twitching his fingers up from his palm in a shooing or 'go on' gesture, "Go ahead."

The blonde haired girl drew back in shock, gaping ever so slightly. She hadn't seen that coming, and she wished she had just been forgotten about…, but how exactly would she say that? She just decided that she would suck it up and do it anyway. "Um.."

Sakura, Naruto, and even Sasuke looked rather intently. Kiyowa didn't speak often, not even in the academy, and so it was a rare occasion to hear her talk as much as she had today, not to mention right now there was nothing to distract them, unfortunately for her.

"Well... My name is Kiyowa. Shinzo…"

Her voice was soft, but smooth, comparable to a Hummingbird of sorts. Soft wing beats that gave off a sweet melody if one were to listen close enough, "I like… Well I've always liked puzzles and mysteries."

'One that actually likes to think? Promising.' Kakashi thought to himself. He would be mentally documenting comments to everyone's introductions in an attempt to get a proactive start on teaching and try to find the best ways to train and balance the team.

"I dislike competition…"

'But she's not competitive. That means things like contests during training sessions to get a sort of motivation out of them won't work with her. Hmm… There goes training plan one..'

"Dreams for the future… Well. I haven't thought much about it…" She looked down in her lap while speaking her next words, lips trembling with nervousness and feet fidgeting together as if she were terrified of being judged by her peers, "but if I have to… I want to be a great ninja…so that I can make my mother and father proud of me."

Naruto stiffened somewhat in reply to her words, as if he had grown tense from a sort of trigger word in her last sentence. He turned to her, expression somewhat softened and lips pursed into a thin, uncharacteristically serious line. Sakura seemed a little surprised at first, blinking a few times in partial shock before giving a partial smile. It would seem all four of the spectators had grown silent and looked to her in silent support. In fact, Kiyowa had yet to notice until she gave a hasty glance up to see if anyone was giving her strange looks. When she noticed that they seemed to empathize with her, she even had to do a double take for a second before looking up completely, astonishment clear.

Kakashi was the first to put an end to the moment with a clearing of his throat. The four students turned to him and awaited words they anticipated would be coming soon, although Kiyowa seemed to have a bit of an awkward feel enveloping her.

"Tomorrow team, first thing in the morning you will report to the third's training grounds just outside the Leaf Village."

Naruto's eyes lit up with excitement, "TRAINING!"

"Calm down, I haven't finished yet. Be there at 7am with your ninja gear," He turned to the railing as if about to leap away when he paused, turning only his head to face them once again, "Oh. I almost forgot. Bring a lunch, but don't eat breakfast."

The four looked at him, confused and in disbelief.

"Don't eat breakfast?" Naruto shouted with discontent, "Whaddaya mean don't eat breakfast?!"

"I just advice you not to. If you do, you will throw up."

Kiyowa, Sakura, and Naruto visually showed their shock, mouths falling ajar for the fourth or fifth time that day.

'T-Throw it up?' Warily thought Kiyowa, gulping down the heavy lump that had risen in her throat. What kind of intense training would he be putting them through tomorrow?

"H-HEY WAIT! KAKASHI-SENSEI!" Sakura shouted, but upon turning to where the male had gone, there was nothing.

He had vanished.
