Mwa hahaha! Onto Chapter 3!
*for convenience's sake I will only refer to my characters by their nicknames. Chi= Cheyenne, Aki= Autumn, Ame=Ashley/narrator
note/disclaimer: I don't own Naruto!
As we walk down the stairs to meet Naruto and the others, we discuss our "guides". Chi turns to look at me and exclaims, "Man! I can't believe you got Sasuke! You're sooo lucky! And you don't even like the guy!" I smile darkly. "Yeah, I'd rather be paired up with Sakura, for Pete's sake!" Chi giggles. "Of course you'd say that." I roll my eyes, which makes both Aki and Chi laugh. Soon we reach the end of the stairs, only to be greeted loudly by Naruto.
"Hey! I heard that you're going to be training with us now! It's gunna be awsome! Believe it!." I sweatdrop and whisper to Aki, "You sure you're going to be able to handle being around him constantly?" I spot a twinge of regret in her eyes. "I think I can...hopefully." I snicker and turn back to Naruto. "Hey, know any good places to eat? We haven't eaten since yesterday."
Naruto shouts and jumps in his excitement. "Believe it! Ichira's ramen is the best! Come on!" Sakura sighs and begins to follow us. Sasuke makes to leave but Kakashi stops him. "I wouldn't leave now if I were you. It'd be a lot of work trying to locate Ame-san later if you dontt come."
"Hn. Wait, what?" He looks up, suddenly confused.
I laugh. "That's right Sasuke-kun, it's you're job to guide me around Konaha. It's also you're job to provide me with a roof over my head, if you get what I mean."
He stares at Kakashi inshock. "What?! I not only have to guide her around but I have to give her a place to stay as well?" Kakashi has a bemused look on his face. "Yes, it's the Hokage's orders. Just think of it as another mission. Naruto and Sakura also have to do the same."
I smirk at the boy. "Be glad. You could've gotten stuck with Chi-chan." I watch as he visibly shuddered at that then followed after the others.
Later that evening.
At the Uchiha compound-- Ame's POV "Hey, Uchiha? Whatcha doing?" He grunts. "Training. Isn't that obvious?" I roll my eyes. "No. It isn't." He sighs and looks at me. "What do you want?" I raise my brows. "Nuthin'. Just watchin', that's all." He sighs again and turns back to his training. After watching a bit longer , I decide to go and see what Chi and Aki were doing. Wandering into the main part of the village I glance around until I notice a small path off to the side. I stroll over and take the path. It seems to lead to another training ground. 'Might as well check it out.' I thought to myself. 'I wonder what the others are up to?'
Sakura's house-- Chi's POV "No, no way! I am not sleeping on the couch! It's my bed, so move it!" A furious Sakura stands above me, glaring. I smile sweetly and nuzzle the pillow I was resting on. "But its so comfy!" I murmur. "I dont care! she snaps. "Now move!" She demands, pulling me off of the bed. I groan. I wonder what Ame and Aki are up to now....
Naruto's appartment--Aki's POV "So, where exactly do I sleep?" I ask while observing the cluttered room. 'It kinda reminds me of Ame's older sister's room' I thought to myself. "Eh heh. Well, I think I have a sleeping bag some where in here..." He starts shifting things around, looking for the supposed sleeping bag. I sigh and hope Ame and Chi-chan are having better luck than I am.
Ame's POV- Walkingalong the path, I realized that we have just spent the entire day in our pajama's. How embarrassing! At least no one noticed.(that we know of!) So deep in my thoughts I didn't notice that I had reached this mysterious training grounds. Wandering in to the treed area with many targets set up, I noticed a group of people training. One was using weapons and the other was using a type of fighting stance. If I didn't know any better, I would say that I was watching team Gai. I walk closer to take a better look, but am still unable to see their faces. Suddenly, in defense, the one using martial arts, used that rotation move of Neji's and flung all of the kunai away from himself. Meaning, they were sent flying everywhere. Including at me.
I shriek and cover my face with my arms, waiting for impact. But I'm never hit. I hear the clatter of metal and open my eyes to be met with the sight of a person dressed in forest green. "Neji, you really must be careful." He turns and looks at me. "You are not injured, correct?" I look away. "Yeah, I'm fine." 'My god, he really does have bushy eyebrows!' I think to myself. The girl, Tenten, comes up and quickly apologizes. "Man, I'm really sorry. I would have never launched that attack had I known you were there." I hold up my hands, and say, "It's all right, no harm, no fowl." Yaaay. I just had to run into people, right after I had remembered that I was still in my pajamas. Neji glares at me, obviously mad at me for interrupting his training.
"Yosh! So are you also a ninja?" I turn my attention back to lee. I smile. "Not as of yet. But I begin training tomorrow with team Kakashi." "Team Kakashi, you say." A voice thunders. 'Oh no, I know that voice.' I turn around, a look of dread appearing on my face when I realize that it IS Gai sensei. "Well, I remember back in the day..." While he starts to lecture I turn and start to run, forming the only hand sign I could remember and hopefully focusing chakra in my feet. Soon I'm bounding away at an inhuman speed.
Back at the training grounds-
Tenten snickers and whispers to Neji, "Did you see the look on her face when she saw Gai sensei? It's almost as if she knew how bad he could be!" Neji nods. "She also focused her chakra quite quickly for someone who never has before." Tenten has a surprised look on her face. "She never has before? Wait, you could tell?" Neji nods and turns back to his sensi. Tenten sensing that the topic was disclosed, sighed and turned back to watch her silly and overly energetic sensi and teammate.
Okay, folks. And that wraps up chapter three! Please review! And I should be getting the next chapter out within the week.
