(2 days later, 10:14 am)

(12-K's P.O.V)

I sat down with my lunch tray with my friends, who carried a bit of anxiousness about them. Of course, I knew why; this was the day we would finally meet the new members of our unit! I was so excited you might as well call me ecstatic! I nudged 13-C with my shoulder, and she put down her bowl of soup after chugging it. Jeez, and she's telling me about manners! She still had soup around her mouth and nose, giving her the appearence of a beard. It was pretty funny, and I couldn't help but let out a smirk and something along the lines of; "You've got something on your face". She blushed and wiped at her face with a napkin. "So, you excited to see them?" I asked as she wiped the last of the food off.

"I don't know...are you?" She replied.

"Well"-85-S spoke up as he took a bite of brocoli-"I don't really know what to expect, but-"

"I wasn't talking to you, Teme!" I yelled.

13-C gave both me and 85-S a glare that clearly said; "Put a sock in it, you'll make us look like weirdos!"

She looked up and her expression changed from angry to trying to look normal. I followed her gaze to see a boy and girl walking toward our table. The girl had short black hair like 85-S's, but her eyes were pale, almost white, with a tint of lavender. The boy had super pale skin and a blank gaze. The boy sat down and began staring into space. The girl slowly settled into her chair, looking around as though searching for a way to escape. I got to admit, the girl actually looked pretty...cute.

(13-C's P.O.V)

"So, it's nice to meet you, I guess." I said awkwardly as I raised my spoon of soup to my lips. As I opened my mouth, the boy spoke up. "It's nice to meet you too...Ugly". My spoon fell back into my bowl, splashing it everywere. I looked up at him, mouth still agape, to see that this kid was freaking smilling! The girl gave him a "Apologize right now!" look. 12-K looked ready to burst out laughing while 85-S looked downright murderous. "Sai! You can't just call people by what you see them as! I'm sorry, I promise he doesn't mean what he says!" The girl said. I was so stunned from his insult that I didn't realize that she didn't call him by a lab name (Or was that his lab name?). As if reading my mind, the girl spoke up again "Oh, he comes from a different lab than yours, that's why his name is seems foreign to you. Speaking of names, I'm '29-E'"-she said bending her fingers at the name- "but please call me Hinata, what's yours?" I was bewildered on why she didn't want to be called by her lab name, but I didn't care "I don't really have a name, neither of us do, really. I'm 13-C." I replied, my voice a little more confident. "I'm 12-K! Nice to meet ya!" 12-K blurted out. "And the quiet guy over there is 85-S!" 85-S looked up, gave a little wave, and went right back to eating. "So"-Sai started again-"What Tier are you guys?"

"Hmm? Oh, we're all Undetermined." I replied. For those of you who don't know, LSOGA sorts their S.H.I.N.O.B.I into certain catigories called "Tiers", as to keep track of us all and seperate the strong from the weak.

Here are some Tiers that we learned about:

Undetermined; the nobodies, the lowest of the low. They have no or very little abilities and don't usually get sorted into a class right away. Me, 85-S, and 12-K belong to this Tier for now.

Tier 1: Genin. The least powerful SHINOBI. They pose little threat to enemies and have the least abilities. They are often chosen as lab assistants, demonstrators, etc.

Tier 2: Chuunin. A little stronger and has more abilities than a Genin, but still poses very little threat. That doesn't mean they can't kick your ass if they wanted to.

Tier 3: Jounin. Ok, now we're getting to the tough guys, Jounin are very powerful and make decent fighters and patrollers. They also get chances to leave the lab. To be honest, I'm pretty jealous of them.

Tier 4: Kage. The big bad wolves of LSOGA, even stronger than a Jounin. They're the "Shoot first, ask questions later" kind of people. They have the type of abilities that could cut you down like a chainsaw cuts a tree (Whatever a tree is, anyway). Like the Betas, they often get out-of-lab missions. Again, I'm jealous.

Through the rest of lunchtime, and we got to know Hinata and Sai a little bit more. We even found out a bit about the outside! (Although she wasn't supposed to say it out loud, or have us spread the word, because one kid did once and the story did NOT end happily).

As we left the cafeteria after lunch period, I felt a weird sensation in my stomach, but I shoved it off. However, as I walked toward my unit room, my vision started to blur. Realizing something was wrong, I tried to run toward the room. The harder I seemed to run, the more tired I got. By the time I made to the door, my head was spinning and black dots were appearing in front of my eyes. I barely managed to crawl half-way through the entrance before I finally couldn't go any further. I remember being picked up and carried by two S. before everything was a blur and I slipped into unconsciousness...

(Later that day, 85-S's P.O.V)

We had been searching all day, and by now I was super frustrated. Where the hell was 13-C?! It was really out of character for her to not be seen for a while, especially for hours! I turned to Hinata, Sai, and 12-K, who also looked pretty anxious. I turned back to the door, waiting for Kakashi to come back. He decided to keep looking for 13-C after we had given up and we knew he would ask around if he could. After a while of waiting, Kakashi returned. But there was a woman with him; looked about mid-30s, with ash-blonde hair and brown eyes. I realized it was the same woman from 2 days ago, the one that 13-C almost had a head-on collision with. "Sorry to keep you waiting everyone, but we have a lot of explaining to do, follow us." Confused, I followed along with them, with the other's behind me. We walked through the halls for a little while before Kakashi and the woman stopped in front of a large door. 12-K got really excited for some reason, and then the realization that this is where 12-K had found the clipboard hit me out of nowhere. We all went inside and through another door, which looked to me like some kind of conference room. Neither of us had even been inside one of these rooms, as the meetings there were top secret, even to us.

But they also made the perfect place to talk and not get caught.

Kakashi sat us all down and we waited for him to start talking, but to our suprise, it was the woman who talked first. "I believe I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Tsunade Senju." She said as she took out some kind of badge, which had a weird symbol on it.

I attempted to grab it as to take a closer look, only for Tsunade to quickly swipe it away. "What kinda symbol is that anyway? It's wierd!" 12-K commented.

"T-That's the emblem for the Resistance!" Hinata blurted out. My breath almost caught in my throat. Resistance?!

"That's impossible! The Resistance was wiped out long ago!" I yelled

"That's what they wanted you to believe, 85-S...or should I say Sasuke Uchiha?"
