Tora's P.O.V.

"Move!" Sasuke yelled but it was too late. I'd been too concentrated on controlling Naruto and Kiba that I hadn't noticed the trap till I set it off. Sasuke grabbed me and pulled me out of the way of the blast, switching positions with me so he was on the bottom when we hit the ground below us.

"Damn, what is Kakashi trying to do kill us?" I said as I heard Kakashi's thoughts along with Asuma's worried ones; thinking that Kakashi might have over done it a bit. I deactivated the Irai and the moment I did I realized the position we were in. I was lying on top of Sasuke with my head on his chest and his arms wrapped around my waist. I felt myself blushed slightly. 'Why the hell I'm I blushing?' I mentally slapped myself pulling myself away from him. 'What the hell is wrong with you Tora?' I yelled at myself.

"We better get moving." Sasuke said sitting up strait and rubbing the back of his head. The moment he stud up he staggered back and without even thinking I grabbed his arm to prevent him from falling. Realizing what I did I let go of him immediately thinking back. It wasn't the first time I touched him today and then it clicked. His touch didn't bother me, it was because he didn't listen that I got angry when he did touch me. Sasuke looked surprised and was about to say something but I interrupted him before he could. "Let's get moving." I said and began running in the opposite direction away from Kakashi and the others with Sasuke one step behind.

Kakashi's P.O.V

"Hey Kakashi, don't you think you might have over one it a bit?" Asuma asked worried about Tora.

"There fine, I just wanted to get her to deactivate the Irai." I said indifferent as we ran after them through the forest.

"Mind telling me why?"

"She used the Irai on me once. I found it unnerving to have no control over your own body. Besides I can't have her find out that the jutsu will wear off in two days."

"If I didn't know better I'd think you were afraid…" Asuma taunted. "But I do know better. Growing up and learning how to use the Irai, Tora has used it on me quite a few times." He said in a half laugh.

"From here on out things are only just going to get worse for her." He nodded as we halted to a stop when we caught site of an explosive tag trap much like the one I had set up; Sasuke and Tora weren't very far ahead of us and I intended to catch up. "Let's keep going there close." I said. Thanks to the experiments done on Tora in one of Orochimaru's labs, Tora was exceptionally strong, she's learnt to use her kekkei genkai at seven years of age and has mastered many water and fire jutsus that not many of her age could do. Because of what was done to her there, things are beginning to happen to her that shouldn't, at least not until she reaches the age of twenty-seven, but without us knowing what exactly was done to her there is no way to help her.

The moment we passed their first trap we triggered another. A kunai came flying towards us with explosive tags on them we were able to dodge them. But doing so only triggered another set of traps to go off; this time only kunai coming at us. Counter attacking with kunai we were able to dodge them.

"They work well together." Asuma said as we began to run after them again.

"Imagine if they actually got along…" he smiled.

Tora's P.O.V.

I screamed out in pain along with Sasuke the moment we were separated from each other. Five minutes that's all we had left we spent the half the day running from them and we would have succeeded in staying together if they all hadn't ganged up on us we would have stood a chance but twelve against two are hard odds to beat. After about thirty seconds lying on the ground scramming Kakashi and Asuma pulled us up off the ground and closer together. We were both panting and in a cold sweat I threw myself back on the ground trying to catch my breath.

"Shikamaru, Choji, Ino you guys better run and hide because the second I'm feeling better I'm coming after you." I said in a threatening tone to them. It took all three of them along with the others to separate me from Sasuke and it was because of them I might have to spend a month hanging around Sasuke.

"Sorry Tora." Shikamaru said smiling and rubbing the back of his neck and coming up to me to check the cut on my face. "Ow!" I said when he touched it. "Don't be a baby." He said placing some weird smelling brown gel on my face. "Thanks." I said hitting him playfully in the stomach for calling me a baby.

"Well since the training exercise is over I think I should set things straight." Kakashi said in a bored tone looking at me and Sasuke.

"Set things straight?" I asked tucking my bangs behind my ears.

"What are you talking about?" Sasuke asked looking from me lying on the ground to Kakashi and the others.

"As you already know this exercise was to get you guys to work together and not try to kill each other, but I lied to you when I said you two would be stuck together for another month if you didn't-" I interrupted him.

"See this is why I dislike you more and more each day." I stated sitting up strait.

"Anyway the jutsu's effect will wear off in two days." Kakashi said smiling under his mask.

"ALRIGHT!" Ino and Sakura yelled. It wasn't till the very end that they realized what separating us meant.

"Seriously?" I made a disgusted sound and expression at the fact that Sasuke and I had asked that at the same time.

Kakashi nodded. "You guys must be hungry, why don't we all get something to eat?"

Every team separated when we went to get something to eat considering that my team was the only one that wanted ramen. The moment we arrived at Ichiruka's it began to rain. We sat from order left to right Kakashi, Sakura, Naruto, me and Sasuke.

"I was so much fun today don't you think?" Naruto said as we ordered or food.

"You're insane if you called that fun. We spent half the day running from you guys." I said in a bored tone waiting for my food.

"Yeah well you tried to kill us with all those traps you set!" Naruto said acting as if I had insulted him.

"Not to mention when you made Naruto and Kiba attack us. What was up with that? I thought you said you don't use the Irai on your friends." Sakura said in an annoying tone.

"I also said I only take control of others when it is necessary in a fight"
