I'm so lazy… I have so many chapters already done! I hope I'm doing well with this rewrite! You guys would let me know right???

Last Time:

"Akari? What's this?" The Hokage asked when Akari walked back into the room. He held up the packs of Naruto cards.

"Um, well, its just…" Akari began, "S-see… where I come from… Well, they have these 'trading cards' that also feature you guys…" Everyone looked at her like she was crazy.

"Heck, I'll buy it!" The orange haired ANBU members shouted; he had started reading one of Akari's manga… again.

Akari and the others laughed. She scratched the back of her head and blushed. 'Wow…' Akari thought, 'so far so good…'

Chapter 3

Akari woke up very early the next morning. Her head was still spinning and she still felt a little sick. 'Damnit…' she thought, 'this is just great…' Akari's eyes snapped open and she stared at the ceiling. Suddenly, someone knocked on her door.

"Hello? Akari!" A high-pitched voice exclaimed. "You awake?" It was Naruto. Akari groaned, got up, walked over to her door and opened it slowly.

"O-oh…" She moaned. "Hey Naruto…" Naruto was completely dressed—headband included. He had his signature grin on.

"Hey!" He said. Then, his smile faded. "Oh… did I wake you up?" Akari sighed.

"Not really." She said. "So what's up?"

"Iruka-sensei said you weren't feeling good, so I got you some ramen!" Naruto exclaimed. He held out a huge bowl of take-out ramen. Taped onto the bowl was a letter. "That's from the old man." Naruto said. Akari smiled groggily and took the bowl.

"Thanks Naruto…" She said, "I'm gonna go back to sleep, ok?"

"Got it!" Naruto said, giving her the thumbs up. "See ya!" Naruto waved and ran down the hall. Akari closed her door, ripped the paper off the bowl, and unfolded it. It read:

Dear Akari,

Today you shall be meeting your new sensei.

I know you still feel a little sick, but I can

assure you, that ramen Naruto gave you

will help. You are to report to training field

eleven at 1:00. Good luck.

Lord Hokage

Akari arrived at the training field at one sharp. She walked through the chain link gate and walked over to a tree.

"Hello? Anyone here?" She shouted, looking up at the tree.

"Akari, nice to see you." A man's voice said from high in the air.

'That voice!' Akari thought. 'No way!' Akari looked to where the voice was coming from. "Whoa…" She whispered. Sure enough, the orange haired ANBU member that had been with Akari since she'd arrived in Konoha, and who was going through Akari's manga collection was standing on a tree branch, arms crossed and mask still on. "Oh my God!!" Akari shouted.

"I am Seto Jotaro!" The orange haired man exclaimed. "I'll be your instructor from now on!" He declared.

"OH SWEET!" Akari shouted, jumping up. "SO WHEN DO I START MY TRAINING??"

'Damn…' Jotaro thought, 'The Hokage said she was sick…' He laughed as Akari grabbed her stomach and groaned.

"Ok," Akari whispered, "Not gonna do that again…"

Jotaro sighed. "Uh, well, we'll start tomorrow morning, I guess…" He said.

"YES!!!" Akari screamed, a little dazed. Jotaro laughed.

"I'll see you tomorrow." He said. "I know you're not feeling so good, so I'm going to wait." With that, he waved and jumped down from the tree. As Jotaro began to walk away, he heard Akari chanting something over and over.

"I've got an ANBU sensei!" She sang, "and I'll become stronger than him someday!" Jotaro could only smile.

'She really is something…' He thought, 'Something weird… but something.'

The next morning, Akari automatically knew it was going to be a good day. First off, she wasn't feeling sick anymore; second, she was going to meet her sensei and possibly her other teammates.

Akari hopped out of bed and walked into the bathroom. She tied her hair up in a ponytail and tied her headband around her neck. She then went to her closet and put on her signature outfit: a black T-shirt with gold stripes, and a pair of red jeans with MANY pockets.

Akari studied herself in the mirror. When she was finally satisfied with her look, Akari nodded and grabbed her backpack. She then ran to the door and sprinted down the hall.

After meeting up with Naruto, having some ramen at Ichiraku's (which took forever because—well, let's face it—Naruto was with her), Akari arrived at Training Area 11 at two o'clock. She found the place empty, so she walked over to the tree and threw her backpack down. Akari sat against the tree; arms crossed behind her head, and stared up at the sky.

Akari let out a small yawn as she stretched. Naruto had stopped by her apartment the night before and had a long discussion about how late his sensei was.

'I swear,' Akari thought, 'If Jotaro-sensei is like Naruto's sensei, I'm gonna…' Akari shook her head, trying not to think about it. She grabbed her backpack and pulled out her purple iPOD and headphones. Smiling, she turned the iPOD on and scrolled through her songs.

Finally, she found a good song and pressed play. Then, she rested her head on the tree and closed her eyes.

Not even three minutes later, Akari felt her hair stand on end. She opened one eye and then both eyes went wide. Standing in front of her, with her back to her, was a girl with blue hair. The girl wore her hair in a tight ponytail. She had a red long sleeve shirt on and a leather belt across her shoulder holding a small sword. She also had a pair of denim pants with a blue design on.

The girl was obviously annoyed; she was tapping her foot and had her arms crossed across her chest. Akari slowly and quietly turned her iPOD off and took her headphones out of her ears.

The girl was facing the chain-linked gate. She just stared at it. Finally, she let out a deep aggravated sigh and turned around. In mid turn, she stopped, her eyes locked with Akari's. Both girls froze. Half of the reason Akari stared was because of the situation. The other half was because of the girl's eyes. They were bright pink and seemed to have flecks of blue in them. After what seemed like forever, the blue haired girl blinked.

"Well," Akari said, scratching the back of her head. "This… is a little awkward…"

The girl at first was quiet, staring down at Akari with an emotionless face. Then finally, her eyes seemed to relax and she laughed softly.

"Yeah, guess so." She said. The girl stuck out her hand. "Name's Hisako Yuki." She said. Akari smiled and grabbed her hand.

"Akari." She said. "Nice to meet you." Akari and Yuki shook hands and Akari noticed that Yuki had a firm grip. When they both released hands, Yuki turned back to the gate and stretched.

"Damn," She said, "Sensei better not be late again." Akari blinked.

"You've… had him before?" She asked. Yuki turned to Akari and nodded.

"Yup." She said. Then Akari remembered what Iruka had said about the team mix-ups.

"Oh yeah…" Akari muttered. "I… uh… I heard about the whole… crazy team thing." Yuki laughed.

"Yeah," She said, "About me being in the hospital, and Kasumi not wanting to take the Chunin Exams?" Akari nodded. Yuki sighed. "Yeah," She took a deep breath. "Well, I take it Iruka-sensei told you all this, huh?"

Akari nodded. "Yeah, he kinda filled me in a couple days ago." She said. Yuki crossed her arms again and nodded, looking up at the sky.

"Yeah…" She said. Then, she looked back down at Akari. "Did he… by any chance… tell you about the other teammate we had?" She paused. "A boy?" Akari cocked her head to the side and raised an eyebrow.

"N…no." She said. "There's someone else?" Yuki blinked, then smiled innocently.

"No, no." She said. "It's nothing you need to worry about… now anyways…" She whispered the last part.

"Huh?" Akari said. Yuki smiled.

"Nothing." She said. Suddenly, the sound of chain's being rattled filled the girls' ears. Both of them gazed over at the gate and found a blond haired girl walking over to them.

As the girl walked over Yuki smiled. When she reached the tree, Yuki wrapped her arm around her neck.

"This is Kasumi." She said. "Hideki Kasumi to be correct." Kasumi had long, blond hair that reached almost passed her elbows. She had a long sleeve green button down turtleneck shirt and a pair of dark blue pants. Also, the thing that really got Akari's attention were her eyes. They were bright red!

"H-hi…" She said timidly. Almost instantly, Akari could tell why she didn't want to take the Chunin Exams; heck, she was a lot like Hinata!

Akari stood up and offered Kasumi her hand. Hesitantly, Kasumi accepted and the two girls shook hands. "I'm Akari." Akari said.

"Pleased to meet you." Kasumi said. Suddenly, a voice above the girls made them jump.

"Well, it seems you've all gotten to know each other." A man's voice said. "For the most part, anyway."

It was Seto Jotaro. He jumped down from the tree wearing the normal Jonin outfit; a green vest, dark blue long sleeve shirt, and dark blue pants taped to his shoes. The only thing that would set him apart from other Jonin was the ANBU mask covering his face. It was shaped like a wolf with gold markings.

Akari smiled as her new sensei brushed leaves off of him. "Well girls," Jotaro said, "I have a little game we can play." Akari beamed. Yuki pinched the bridge of her nose. Kasumi smiled.

"A game?" Akari said. Yuki exhaled deeply.

"Here we go…" she whispered. Jotaro nodded.

"Yes." He said. "Here's how the game's played—"

"We each have a go at telling each other about us." Yuki cut in. "What our likes and dislikes are, what our goal for the future is, blah blah, blah blah, blah blah."

Akari bit her lip to try to keep from laughing. She could tell Jotaro wasn't amused.

"Very good, Yuki." He said with sarcasm in his voice. "But we also say a little more about ourselves, like our strengths, weaknesses, something interesting about you, weight…" All three girls gave him 'oh-hell-no' looks. Jotaro raised a hand, "Ok, He said, "Maybe not weight… but you get the point."

"Wh-what about you, sensei?" Kasumi asked. "Are you going to do this too?" Jotaro grabbed the tip of his mask, as if grabbing his chin.

"Dunno." He said. "Probably not most of it; classified." The girls nodded; Akari noticed that Yuki had rolled her eyes. "Ok, so Kasumi, let's start with you."

Jotaro sat down and the girls followed. Kasumi gulped and raised her hand.

"Um…" She began, "W-well, I'm Hideki Kasumi…" She paused. "I like flowers, the color green, and the village." She paused. "I… W-well, I don't like blood, the color black, or fighting too much. And I-I want to be a medical ninja." She paused yet again. "My strengths? Umm… Not too sure… I-interesting fact? W-well, I can sense different people's chakra… My weaknesses?" She sighed, looking down. "I'm to shy for my own good…"

Jotaro nodded. "Well, the fact that you admitted it proves that you aren't." He said. Kasumi half smiled. "Yuki, why don't you go next?"

Yuki sighed. "Hmph…" She said, tilting her head back and looking up at the sky. "Name's Hisako Yuki." She said, "I like the rain, lightning, the color red, being with people—even if I don't talk to anyone. I don't like other villages—can't really explain that—I don't like people leaving other people out 'cause of who they are… and I don't like Sasuke, at all." She paused, noticing Kasumi and Akari giving her weird looks. "What?" She said, "I don't."

"Please continue." Jotaro said. Yuki rolled her eyes.

"My goal for the future is to become Hokage." She said. Akari's eyes snapped wide and her mouth opened a little. "My strengths are… complicated. My weaknesses are… also complicated." She paused, sighing and looking back at the sky. "Something interesting…? Something interesting, huh?" She said. Then, she let out an almost creepy laugh. "My whole clan was killed on the night the Kyuubi attacked Konoha." She said.

Akari's eyes widened more. She let out an almost silent gasp. Then, she quickly bit her tongue as Yuki looked back at her team.

"And that's it." She said blankly. There was an eerie silence. Then finally, Jotaro cleared his throat.

"Well then…" He said. "Akari? I believe it's your turn."

Akari blinked and shook her head. "R-right." She said. "Well, my name's Akari. No last name. Uhh… I like teriyaki chicken and fried rice… and ramen… and the colors purple, black, green, and red. I don't like—scratch that—I hate spiders, and Sasuke's gets on my nerves a lot…" She paused, grabbing her chin. "I…I'm not sure what my goal is… I guess just to be a good kunoichi…" She nodded. "Anyway, my strengths are water and ice—don't know why—and I'm… ok with a sword… I guess." She glanced over at Yuki, "But don't get any ideas," She said, "I suck."

Yuki laughed. "I'm actually just learning how to use this thing myself!" She laughed. Akari laughed back.

"Heh," She said, "Well, my weaknesses are fire, and—quite frankly—swords… and different weapons. Actually, most attacks I have that involve weapons are just lucky shots. Hehe…" She scratched the back of her head. "Uhh… a cool fact…" Akari gulped. 'Should I tell them?!' She thought frantically. 'No way! They wouldn't believe me anyway!!'

"Ak-kari-san?" Kasumi said. "Are you ok? You just started staring off into sp-space…"

Akari shook her head. "Yeah, I'm ok." She said. "Anyway, one cool thing about me is that… I've got this weird looking birth mark on my shoulder."

Akari lifted up her sleeve a little. Her birthmark looked like a slanted backwards 'L' and a straight line with a slanted line through both of them.

"I really can't explain it." Akari said, looking down at it. "Even the nurse at… uhh… where I went before I came here said it was the weirdest thing she'd ever seen."

From behind the mask, Akari heard Jotaro give out an almost silent gasp, and he unconsciously grabbed his right arm. Yuki blinked, her eyes wide. Kasumi gulped hard. Akari raised an eyebrow.

"You guys ok?" She asked. Yuki shook her head and nodded. Kasumi just nodded, giving her an innocent smile. Jotaro was still looking at Akari's arm.

"S-sensei?" Kasumi said. "Are you ok-k?" Jotaro gulped.

"I…I'm fine." He said. "Thanks." Jotaro stood up and stretched. Akari and the other girls looked up at him. Yuki had slouched back, resting on her elbows.

"No what?" She asked. Jotaro grabbed his mask and adjusted it on his face.

"Now," He began, "We rest up." The girls all looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

"C-come again?" Yuki said, sitting up. Jotaro nodded.

"We've got a big mission tomorrow!" He declared. Yuki moaned loudly and flopped back, completely laid back.

"Great…" She moaned. Jotaro laughed.

"Well, you girls could stay here if you'd like." He said. "But I have something important I have to tend to." He turned to the tree, looked back, and gave the girls the thumbs-up. "See ya tomorrow!" He exclaimed. With that, he jumped into the tree and disappeared.

"Fabulous…" Yuki grunted sarcastically, still not moving from her spot. By now, Kasumi and Akari had stood up.

Akari took a deep breath. Then finally, hesitantly, she spoke. "So…" She began, "You guys… You're eyes…" Kasumi blinked; Yuki lifted her head up and raised an eyebrow. "Uh, is that like… a kekke genkai or something?"

Yuki moaned and slammed her head back down. "Yup." She said. Kasumi also nodded.

"Cool." Akari said. "So, like… what can you guys do?"

Kasumi opened her mouth, but was cut off by Yuki. "You'll have to see tomorrow!" She exclaimed, sitting up. Yuki laughed. "This is really gonna be an interesting team." She said, jumping up. Akari raised an eyebrow.

"Whaddya mean?" She asked. Yuki put a hand on her shoulder.

"Trust me." She said, "You'll find out."

Ok, so I decided to put Yuki and Kasumi in earlier. I think before I didn't have enough of a relationship between the three girls and Jotaro. I plan on adding him in more too, but I'm not gonna have him in for a while.

Please review and tell me how I did!!
