Ch 4
It was early morning when Ashley left the house. Ashley headed toward the area where they were suppose to meet. She noticed someone was there already. When she got closer she recognized it was Sasuke. "Morning Sasuke." said Ashley. He looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "Morning." Was all he said to her. They waited there in silence. Ashley was leaning against the rail. After awhile Sasuke did too. Finally Sakura came. "Good morning Sasuke." said Sakura cheerfully. They saying with coldness in her voice. "Good morning Ashley." Ashley returned the good morning deciding to ignore the coldness in Sakura's voice. Naruto came a few minutes after Sakura. "Good morning Sakura." said Naruto. Then looking at Ashley. "Morning Ashley." "Oh, no good morning?" said Ashley jokingly ruffling Naruto's hair. Naruto laughed at Ashley's words. Then they waited in silence. It was a half hour later when Naruto spook up. "What's taking so long?"
Suddenly someone appeared. "Sorry I'm late I was lost on the road of life." said Kakashi. "You can't get lost on life!" shouted Naruto. Ashley and Sasuke both rolled their eyes. "Well let us begin." said Kakashi. "Today you guys will have to take these bells form me." Kakashi held up three bells then placed them on his hip. "You will only have to lunch and if you fail I'll send you guys back to the academy and you wont be allowed to eat lunch." "What you can't do that!" screamed Naruto. Ashley turned to Naruto. "Shut-up damn it your giving me a fucking headache." Kakashi looked at Ashley but didn't say anything. Naruto looked at Ashley shocked. "I'm sorry Ashley I didn't mean to." "It's all right Naruto I'm sorry I yelled at you." apologized Ashley. Naruto nodded at Ashley's words. "All right then I'll show you where your area is." said Kakashi. They walked in till they came to memorial stone. "Ready begin." said Kakashi.
Everyone flew in their own direction. Ashley watched as Naruto fell into the first trap. She watched everyone in till she was the only one left. "I guess you're my last victim." said Kakashi. "Or you're my first." said Ashley. Ashley lunge at Kakashi. Kakashi jump out of the way. Ashley broke his trap. Kakashi watched her do this silently and how she made her moves. Ashley knew he was doing this but there was nothing she could do to stop him. Every hit Ashley threw Kakashi deflected. Suddenly Ashley felt a presence watching them. Kakashi felt it too. While Kakashi was distracted Ashley strung up an arrow. She aim carefully at the bells then shot it. Kakashi noticed this but it was to late. Ashley ran toward the tree where the bells hung. Kakashi unfortunately got there first. "I must admit your skills are good." said Kakashi. "Thanks your not bad yourself.' replied Ashley. Before they were to go again the bell rang.
Kakashi stood there listening to the stomach's growl. "Oh no, stomach growling well that's to bad." said Kakashi. Ashley tuned him out she know he was going to lecture them. Kakashi was talking about he importance of team work. "All right I'm going to give you all one more chance." said Kakashi. "Anyone who feeds Naruto will fail imminently." Was the last thing Kakashi said before leaving. Ashley listen to Naruto's stomach growl. "Naruto take my lunch." offered Ashley. Sasuke gave her your-insane look. "Look if Naruto's hungry that will hurt the team." explained Ashley. Ashley held her chopsticks steadily. She still was having trouble using them. Naruto took a bite. Suddenly Kakashi appeared. The earth shook underneath them. The sky turned black and the wind blew fiercely. "Are you ready for the punishment?" asked Kakashi. Sakura and Naruto shook from fear. Sasuke got in a fighting stance. Ashley just sat there showing no emotion at all. "Y-you s-said we were suppose to work as a team." said Naruto. "That's why Ashley." Naruto stopped there. Sasuke said "That's why Ashley feed him."I was about too." "We are one squad." said Ashley. "You pass." said Kakashi. "You will start your first mission tomorrow." Kakashi gave them a thumps-up. Ashley untied Naruto and they headed home.
Ashley enter the house with Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi. She had promised them they could hear her cd. Amber turned to face Ashley. "You could have left a note saying your were bring friends home damn it." said Mickie. "Sorry, but this is my team." said Ashley. "This is Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura, and my sensei Kakashi." "All right I'll get my stuff real quick." said Ashley disappearing into her room and came out with her cd player. The first song was I Hate Everything about You, then came on Just Like You. Some more songs played then came Miss Murder. Ashley, Amber, and Mickie all sang to this song and Prelude 12/21. Then came on Here I Go Again. Finally came on Were Not Going Take It. "Well these songs don't totally suck." said Sasuke. "Well it's getting late team don't forget we leave tomorrow." said Kakashi. Everyone left after he said those words. "You're leaving tomorrow?" asked Mickie. "Yeah my team has to body guard this one guy." replied Ashley then adding. "We'll be back in two or three days." "Well night guys." said Ashley then she left for her room.
They headed out of the city. Sakura started to ask questions. Ashley once again wasn't listening. They walked for awhile when Ashley noticed a puddle. She turned to mention this to Kakashi. The look in his eye told her that he had noticed it as well. They only took a few steps when they were attacked. Ashley quickly pulled out some kunai knifes but it was to late they already had Kakashi. Then horror struck as the chains sliced Kakashi in half. Then they went after Naruto. Sasuke stopped them that time. Then they separated one went after Sakura and the bridge builder. The other one went after Naruto. Ashley could tell Naruto was frozen with fear. So she chucked her kunai knife at him. She manage to injure his shoulder. He started to charge at Ashley. She was ready. Suddenly Kakashi appeared and stopped them. Then Kakashi said. "Hi." to them. Naruto gasped in amazment. Kakashi then questioned the two spies. He left them tied to a tree.
When they reached the boats, only one man was willing to take them over. "Well have to travel without the motor." said the man. "You must keep quiet." They nodded and entered the boat. Kakashi and Tazuna sat near the back. Sakura sat across from Ashley and Sasuke. Naruto was facing the front. After awhile mist began to swarm them. Kakashi finally got the answers he needed from Tazuna. Then Tazuna played the guilt trick on them. So in the end they agreed to keep guarding them. "Ashley?" asked Naruto. "Hmm." said Ashley turning to Naruto. "Do you have boats where you come from?" asked Naruto. Ashley tried to hold back her laugh. She barely succeeded. "Yeah Naruto I do only there much bigger and go really fast." said Ashley. Tazuna turned toward Ashley. "You're not from around here are you?" "I mean you no disrespect but that's my business." replied Ashley. "Hey Kakashi how old is this team." asked Tazuna. "Well Naruto and Sakura are 12." Kakashi pointed toward Naruto and Sakura Then he turned toward Sasuke and Ashley. "These two Sasuke and Ashley are thirteen." "Ugh, teenagers they give no respect toward people." said Tazuna. He leaned over and hit Ashley on the side of the head. "I would appreciate it if you don't hit my students." said Kakashi.
They finally were on land. "All right take me home." said Tazuna. They were walking on a trail through the forest. When Naruto through his kunai knife. Everyone got sweat drops. Kakashi went over to see what Naruto hit. Naruto looked over too and saw it was a rabbit. Naruto ran toward the rabbit. Saying over and over again. 'I'm sorry rabbit." Ashley study the rabbit it was white. "Naruto hand me the rabbit." said Ashley. Naruto did so. Ashley mumbled some words. The bunny soon came out of shock and hopped away. "How did you do that?" asked Naruto. Everyone was staring at her. "You simply put it in shock so I said some comferting words." explained Ashley.
