I hate typing. I'm really slow at it, and these chapters are over 1000 words. Just putting that out there.
Disclaimer: If I owned, don't you think Naruto would have actually happened tlike this?
The Next Day…
Sakura's POV
I wake up with a jolt. Today was the day that I was going to be assigned to the same team as Sasuke and he would see how amazing I am and fall in love with me and then. Wait a minute, Sakura, you're fantasizing. Everything depends on who I get for my teammates.
I see Ino walking to the Academy. She is NOT going to get there before me and sit next to MY Sasuke! How dare she? I start running to the academy. Ino sees me and seems to understand what I'm thinking.
"You are not going to beat me to MY Sasuke, Billboard-brow!"
"What did you say, Ino-pig?" We ended out racing to the academy. I won and went to claim my seat next to Sasuke. One seat over was that weird girl with pigtails that kind of reminded me of candy canes. Nobody really talked to her. Was her name Narumi?
Whatever her name was, her face lit up when I moved to sit next to her.
"Hi, want to be friends? I've never really had many friends, so you'd be my second friend, and my first female friend." Honestly, I couldn't care less about being her friend, and she was in between me and Sasuke. Even if I did sit next to Sasuke, if she was next to me she'd be bugging me and I couldn't talk to Sasuke.
"Move, you baka, I want to sit next to Sasuke!" I yell, and shove her to the side, leaving her to sulk. There. Problem solved. Or not. She jumps up on the desks and crouches right in front of Sasuke, studying him intently.
"What's so great about an annoying teme like you? I don't get it."
"Well of course a dobe like you wouldn't understand."
"Why you-"She was cut off when somebody elbowed her, causing her to lose her balance and kiss MY Sasuke. SHE KISSED MY SASUKE!
She pulled away quickly, and looked just as shocked as I was. The glare she sent him was venomous.
"What the hell, that was my first kiss! How could you steal something so precious from a girl?" What nerve! She should be proud that her first kiss was with somebody as amazing as Sasuke! Before I could reprimand her for this, Iruka came and instructed us to be quiet, so that he could announce the genin team assignments. We all hushed up immediately and waited with bated breath for him to begin.
"Okay now, team seven! Namikaze Naruko! Haruno Sakura!" Naruko looked over at me and grinned. I groaned. I was going to have to put up with Naruko?
"Uchiha Sasuke!" I looked over at Sasuke and grinned. This was going to be worth it. Step one of my get Sasuke plan: complete.
"WHAT? Why do I have to have Sasuke on my team?" Naruko complained.
"Naruko, it's because the teams are created to balance each other out. Sakura is the Kunoichi of the year. Sasuke is rookie of the year. You were dead last. If you had ranked better in the academy, you wouldn't have been paired with Sasuke." Naruko facepalmed.
"Yeah, I guess it wasn't the best idea to almost fail everything. Oh well." Naruko grinned brightly. The idiot made it sound as though she failed everything ON PURPOSE. Who would do that? She'd have to be dumber than I gave her credit for…
"Oh and the instructor for team seven is Uchiha Itachi!"
Later…
Itachi's POV
I looked over my team and smiled slightly. Internally, however, I was grinning. I had Sasuke on my team! I hadn't thought that the third would put him on my team, but he did. I made a mental note to thank him at some later date.
"So how about you tell me a little about yourselves. Just your name, likes, dislikes, hobbies, and dreams for the future."
"I'm Namikaze Naruko! My likes… Ooh! I like ramen! My dislikes, well, I did something earlier that I'm not proud of. It was necessary, but I disliked doing it." She fiddled with her forehead protector, which she had tied around her neck, most likely to keep it from falling off again. The expression on her face was slightly haunted. What could possibly be enough to make this girl lose her constant smile?
"But anyways," her smile had returned again as she switched to a more pleasant topic, "my hobbies are… Wait, what's a hobby?" Sakura facepalmed.
"A hobby is something that you do for fun in your free time," I explained calmly. Naruko turned as red as her bright red jumpsuit.
"Oh. Hmm, well, then I guess training would be my hobby. My dream for the future is not a dream because it WILL happen. I AM going to be the Hokage one day." She smiled brightly, but I did not doubt for a second that she was joking about her dream.
"Umm, my name is Haruno Sakura. My likes are…" she looked over at Sasuke and blushed. I stifled a groan. There was a fangirl on the team. Just my luck. "My dislikes are Naruko," she said, shooting a glare in Naruko's direction. Naruko didn't appear to really notice. "My hobbies are drawing, and my dream is to be with a special someone." She looked over again at Sasuke, and blushed. Again. Why do I have to have a fangirl on my team?
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. I like rice balls, and I dislike fangirls and people that score dead last." How more openly hostile to your teammates can you get, Sasuke? Do you even realize that these very people may one day save your life?
"I don't really have many hobbies, and my dream is to surpass Itachi." Keep dreaming, Sasuke.
"Well, I guess it's my turn, then. My name is Uchiha Itachi. I like peace and don't like war. My dream is to create a world without war." Naruko looked thoughtful when I said this.
"Umm, Itachi-sensei, a world without war is impossible, because there is fighting even in times of peace."
"That's a good point Naruko, but I'm talking about a world where villages don't declare war on other villages, and try to annihilate each other with thousands of innocent civilians in the crossfire."
"Also, there is a test that all of the new genin must take, and if you fail, you get sent back to the academy. There is a 66% fail rate." I wait a moment to allow that news to sink in. Sasuke and Sakura look horrified, while Naruko seems unaffected.
"The test is tomorrow morning at 9:00 at the training ground. Oh, and I wouldn't recommend eating breakfast tomorrow. If you do, odds are you'll vomit, and that would be inconvenient."
Unfortunately, I don't think that they have much of a chance at passing.
The results of my poll so far are
Sasuke 2
everyone else 0
but please note that the results of the poll have NOTHING to do with the final pairing. I just put this poll up for my amusement so that I could watch y'all struggle to guess, cause I'm evil like that. ;)
Also, I changed Naruko's outfit from orange to RED. The reason: I HATE orange. Also, red goes with Naruko's hair better.
