"Hayley! For the last time, groin shots are not allowed!" Iruka exclaimed.

"But they work!" Hayley protested, frowning at the ten year old boy squirming on the ground.

"They're not honorable though! A ninja fights with honor!" Iruka snarled, his eyebrow twitching. "So if I was up against Orochimaru I wouldn't be allowed to kick him where it hurts?" Hayley asked, raising an eyebrow. "No!" Iruka snapped.

"What if he's got Sibrina by the hair and is about to kidnap her?" Hayley demanded. Iruka rolled his eyes. "Fine. You know what, I don't even care anymore. Whatever." He threw up his hands and stalked away.

"Dude I think you annoy him more then even Naruto did." Sibrina said in surprise as she came over. Hayley grinned. "I have that effect on people."

"I hope you don't flunk out of ninja school. That'd kind of suck." Sibrina said as they left, since school was over.

"I know; I mean how dumb do you have to bed? Even Naruto graduated!" Hayley exclaimed. "You said he's a genius." Sibrina frowned. "Yes, but you gotta admit his cloning was weak during the test." Hayley pointed out. "True." Sibrina nodded.

"We'll have to perfect some kick-ass jutsus." Hayley added as they walked. "We both need some crazy talents. Want to hit the library?"

---

"Wow. This is actually fun." Hayley mused, her nose stuck in a book on water jutsus.

"It is. I could really go for some caffeine though." Sibrina pouted. "They just have icky tea." Hayley said, wrinkling her nose.

Hayley snapped her book shut suddenly and stood up. Sibrina raised her head and blinked at her curiously. "Where you are going?"

"Off to train. I think I found some cool jutsus. Care to join me?" She asked and Sibrina shook her head. "Nah. I want to read some more. Maybe later though." She said and Hayley nodded. "'K. I'm off then." She saluted and trotted off and out of the library

---

"Hayley!" Sibrina called, wandering through the training ground Team 7 had pointed her towards. Considering she'd had to stop and ask for directions, Sibrina suddenly doubted Hayley had even found the training area- she was far too stubborn to ask for directions.

"Hayley?" She called again, looking around curiously. She spotted her eccentric friend then and sighed, shaking her head.

Hayley was sitting in the fork of a tree, her legs swinging back and forth, but her eyes were closed in concentration. Sibrina came to stand in front of the tree and looked up at her. "What are you doing?"

"Training." Hayley muttered, not even opening her eyes. Her hands formed several signs, including the tiger Sibrina recognized instantly as part of a fire seal. She waited, and after a few tense moments Hayley's eyes snapped open.

"Crap." She scowled. "I don't think fire's my calling. Your hair was supposed to catch on fire." She frowned. Sibrina just blinked at her. "Wow. I'm glad you care about my safety so much." She said flatly. Hayley rolled her eyes. "Did you really think I could do it?" She muttered.

"No." Sibrina admitted. "How'd you get up there anyway?" She asked curiously. "I flew." Hayley rolled her eyes. "Did you walk up it?" Sibrina asked and Hayley shook her head. "Nah I just climbed up old-fashioned." She shrugged.

"That book I read said that your parents are supposed to teach you your special jutsu." Hayley admitted as Sibrina started to wonder if she should climb up there.

"Oh." Sibrina blinked. "Yeah that makes sense." She admitted. "Or your mentor or whatever." Hayley said. Sibrina let out a little surprised shriek when she suddenly pitched forward, only to catch herself and hung upside down from the branch by her legs. She grinned down at Sibrina, who was now almost at eye level.

"What are you doing?" Sibrina demanded, annoyed she had scared her. "Thinking. This increases blood flow to the brain." Hayley explained, her forehead already started to redden slightly. Sibrina sweat dropped but didn't comment.

"We'll talk to Iruka about it. He'll know." She decided and Hayley nodded, and then promptly fell off the tree branch.

---

"Special techniques?" Iruka questioned, looking up from the papers he had been grading- Hayley noticed a rather large F and grimaced, realizing it was probably her quiz.

"We've been orphans for a long time. Our parents never taught us anything." Sibrina said quietly, playing the sympathy card, knowing Iruka's past; Hayley mentally applauded her friend.

"Hmm." Iruka frowned, then leaned back in his chair and looked at them curiously. "Well, maybe they did teach you something." He said thoughtfully. "Did they ever talk about any special abilities you have? Something other people can't do?" He asked. Sibrina and Hayley both frowned, lost in thought.

"…my mom said I've always been really good at reading people and finding out what's bugging them." Hayley finally admitted after a moment.

"Uh… I'm really good at destroying things." Sibrina said. Hayley arched an eyebrow. "Wow Sibs." She grinned. "What? I'm good at it!" Sibrina retorted.

"So there you go. Take those talents and try to form a jutsu out of it." Iruka said. "Now get out of here, you have better things to do then hanging in a school all day." He said and Hayley grinned at him. "Yup! We've got lives- come on Sib, we got jutsus to master!"

"HNRN!"

"…"

"GAH!"

"…"

"Nrragh!"

"Dang it Hayley! Can't you concentrate quietly?" Sibrina finally demanded, snapping her head up.

"What? I have trouble doing anything quietly." Hayley retorted.

"Well could you just not grunt and stuff? It's quite distracting." Sibrina said. "Fine." Hayley sniffed, closing her eyes again.

Finally. Peace and quiet. Now, destruction… heh heh heh…

"Did you say something?" Hayley asked, glancing up at Sibrina. She blinked and shook her head, then closed her eyes again.

Hayley's hearing voices again.

"OK I know you just said something! And I don't hear voices!" Hayley snapped. Sibrina looked at her, genuinely confused.

Did I say that out loud? Hayley's eyes widened. She heard Sibrina's voice as clearly as if she was speaking, though her lips did not move.

"You didn't say that out loud." Hayley whispered, latching onto the hope of this jutsu she had apparently stumbled across.

Dude! You can read minds now?! That's so unfair! Sibrina exclaimed in her head. "No need to shout." Hayley frowned. "But isn't this cool?! Hold still, I want to work on it." She commanded.

Why do I need to hold still to think? Sibrina thought dryly, but Hayley ignored her and closed her eyes.

Hayley caught onto the last thought to cross Sibrina's mind and held on, trying to figure out how she could sense it and if she could turn it on or off.

Sibrina's eyes widened in shock as thin silver tendrils, as pale and airy as smoke, suddenly swirled around Hayley's arms, crossing over to Sibrina. They slithered up her arms with no feeling and no sound, and disappeared.

Well this feels weird… Hayley mused and Sibrina stiffened.

Get out of my head! That's so gross! She exclaimed, trying to remember the smoke things she had seen come off of Hayley so that Hayley could see for herself.

Wow that was weird; I was like smoking. Huh. I wonder if that was my chakra… She mused.

Just please get out of my brain. Sibrina repeated and Hayley sighed, and allowed herself to recoil back into herself. The silver wisps of chakra floated off of Sibrina and returned back to Hayley.

"Ok. I can't hear you anymore." Hayley said, her eyes snapping open.

"That was so cool… but freaky." Sibrina breathed, her eyes wide. "You thought it was creepy? I was the one hearing voices!" Hayley exclaimed.

"Ugh I'm tired now though. I'm heading home; you gonna stay here and blow shit up?" Hayley asked, standing up.

"Yeah probably." Sibrina replied happily. "Try not to pry on anyone's private thoughts, please?" Sibrina asked as Hayley started to walk away.

"I was just thinking of going home and sleeping, but that's a great idea!" Hayley exclaimed, trotting off. Sibrina groaned and face-palmed.
