Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or Naruto~

Woohoo, I'm on a roll! :D

"You've got to be kidding me," muttered Inuyasha as he watched the arrogant Uchiha Sasuke, violent Haruno Sakura and idiotic Uzumaki Naruto file right on into Tsunade's office. Just as Kagome opened her mouth to greet them, Inuyasha loudly blurted out, "what the fuck are they doing here?"

"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled at him for his expletive.

Ignoring Inuyasha's comment (although Renkotsu did hit the foul mouthed youth over the side of the head), Naruto directed a grin towards Kagome. "Hey, Kagome!" He greeted with a relaxed wave. His blue eyes then slowly slid over to a frowning Inuyasha, his eyes closed in a semi-annoyed pose. "And you." Then to Sai, his scowl only deepening. "And you."

In his eyes, Sai was just as bad as Inuyasha. Not only did the completely stoic ninja have practically no facial expressions whatsoever (at least from what he had observed), but he also had this horrible habit of calling him dickless. How rude and uncalled for was that? In fact, the only person worth taking to in squad 11 was Kagome, since she was the only nice one.

Inuyasha bristled at the careless greeting. "Why you—don't you dare think that you're off the—" Kagome decided to cut in right then and there, "Inuyasha!" She exclaimed in that 'you'd better listen to me' tone of hers. Then, to the other occupants of the room, "hey, Naruto-kun, Sakura-chan, and Sasuke-kun," she greeted.

She got two grins in return: she really wasn't expecting any sort of verbal response from Sasuke.

Wanting to show that he was as courteous as his female teammate was, Sai decided to speak up. "Hello dickless, hag and—"

"Don't you dare give me one of those ridiculous nicknames," Sasuke interrupted with cold eyes.

Sai blinked. "Ridiculous?"

Inuyasha scoffed. "Keh, don't listen that bastard, Sai. Thinks he's all high and mighty, just cause he's an Uchiha..."

Sasuke leveled him with a glare. "That's an amusing thing to hear, coming from you."

"Keh! At least my squad doesn't need to use our names to gain any recognition around here!"

"That's insignificant: after all, there's no way you guys even compare to us," Sasuke said in that cool tone of his.

Inuyasha smirked in that typical cocky manner of his. "Whatever, Uchiha. There's a reason we're number 1 twice."

A mocking snort from the Uchiha caused him to glare, prompting Sakura to return that angry stare while Naruto continued to scowl. For a second there, it really looked like things were about to get out of hand...

...and then Kagome gave Inuyasha's arm a stern poke. "Come on, Inuyasha, this is getting ridiculous—knock it off!" Sai nodded as his dark eyes took on a pensive glaze. Whether his next statement was directed towards Inuyasha or Sasuke, nobody knew. "I believe your arrogance is meant to make up for something you are lacking. Perhaps, like Naruto, you are dic—"

His comment was cut off when Renkotsu hit him over the head.

"All of you, stop this unnecessary bantering," The bald man growled. He was pretty sure he had the worlds biggest headache, and he had the six teenagers to blame.

Naruto pointed a finger in his direction. "Hey, baldy! You're not our sensei: you can't tell us what to do!" However, just like Renkotsu had done to Sai, Sakura took the liberty of shutting her loudmouth teammate with force, AKA a punch to the head.

"Naruto!" She yelled, "he might not be our sensei, but he's still someone of higher authority! You know what that means?" She didn't bother waiting for the blond to answer, "It means you have to listen to him!"

"But he's mean!" Naruto complained.

"And bald," added Sai.

"Sai!" Kagome protested.

While the group of teenagers continued to argue amongst themselves, the two teachers wisely kept their distance from all the chaos.

"Well, I'm glad we're all getting along," said Kakashi as he stared at the outside scenery.

Renkotsu grumbled to himself and looked in the other direction.

When Tsunade finally walked into her office, she was more than surprised to see the two loudest of all the squads in Konohagakure waiting in total silence.

Her amber eyes darted from face to face in suspicion. "Is something wrong?" She questioned, mainly to the two adults in the room.

Kakashi merely cleared his throat, but Renkotsu was quick to speak his mind.

"Yes, Tsunade-sama, there is something wrong."

Tsunade raised a thin eyebrow. "Then speak up!"

Both squads perked up, wondering what the rather touchy sensei would say.

"You see," Renkotsu began, "I originally wanted to punish my squad by teaming them up with squad 7 to do some fairly trivial mission. Clearly though, that would only be punishment for myself, so I wish to—"

"Denied," cut in Tsunade without any remorse. "I already have your mission set up so it would be a complete embarrassment for the village if you were to back out of it now."

"So this is a joint mission?" Asked Kagome as she eyed the dysfunctional team 7.

Tsunade nodded. "Yes. And it isn't as trivial as your sensei might think," she revealed as she made her way over to her desk. She sat down and the air around her changed: that casual gleam in her eyes disappeared as she went straight to business mode.

"How do you guys feel about cleaning a shrine for a well respected priestess?"

The protests immediately began.

"That's so lame!" Naruto growled out and Inuyasha agreed with the blond, for once. "Give us something else!" the golden eyed male demanded.

"Too late," was Tsunade's answer as she handed over the file with all the details to Kakashi. "I expect you guys to leave it nice and spiffy for the woman. And if you don't," an evil look darkened the blond's features, "then don't bother coming back here."

Inuyasha attempted to hide behind Kagome while Naruto looked ready to jump out a window: both males were clearly frightened of the older woman.

Sakura and Kagome shared a glance.

It was going to be a long day.

End of Chapter.

a/n: oh, I'm so mean to Renkotsu! XD

And a priestess? But it might not be who you think it is... ;)
