………………………

Naruto and Naraki were running towards the academy. It was today they would be getting there Jounin sensei. They had their pictures taken and had an interview yesterday.
Naruto had met a boy Konohamaru and had gotten to know him while Naraki went shopping for groceries. They had long since learnt that Naraki had to be the one to get the groceries if they wanted any. If Naruto tried or came with, they wouldn't get anyone to sell them any. Now they finally knew that reason for this, for this and for every other thing that had happened to them through their childhood.

………………………

Naruto had told Naraki all that had happened with Konohamaru. She hadn't been too pleased when she heard about sexy no jutsu. She understood that he thought that it was funny and that it was effective, but it hit a bit too close to home. Naruto knew that and was careful with who he used it on.

…………………….

It had happened on one of their birthdays before they had got to good at hiding. They had split up to divide the forces that were after them. They had cornered Naraki in an ally.
They had begun tugging at her cloths and groping her. Naraki had screamed and struggled, but nothing had helped. That was when The Third had come. He had beaten them all until they were unconscious. Naruto had come and rushed over to her. He had given her his sweater to cover up. The Third had been furious with the men, but the damage had already been done. After that Naraki had not let anyone but her brother touch her. Over the years she had gotten better, but she still flinched if someone surprised her or she got scared of the prospect of being alone with boys over time. Other than that she was fine. There weren't a lot of people that knew what had happened that night. A couple of the ninjas that had looked after them knew that something had happened and not to surprise her, but other than that only Naruto, The Third and Iruka-sensei knew what actually happened that night.

…………………..

They came into the classroom and found some seats. Some of the students remarked on Naruto being there, but they were loudly informed by Naruto that he too was now a genin and that he had passed the exam.

…………………

There was a bang form the door as Ino and Sakura - Naruto's crush - came in. Naruto tried to show off his Hitai'ate to Sakura and to say that he had saved her a seat only to be punched out of the way as she tried to get closer to Uchiha Sasuke, the class' heartthrob. Naruto glared at the other boy. When he saw that the Uchiha didn't react, he went in for a closer look. He jumped up on the desk and sat in front of the boy as he gave him his worst glare.
At that moment the guy on that desk in front rose up and bumped into Naruto. This was enough for Naruto to lose his balance and fall towards Sasuke. Both of the boys froze as their lips met.

………………….

Time stood still for a moment, before Naraki fell to the floor holding her stomach and laughing. While the other girls cracked their knuckles at Naruto who was desperately trying explain that it wasn't his fault.

…………………..

When Iruka came in to the classroom, Naruto was almost lying on the desk, his head full of bumps, with Naraki sitting beside him getting into a fit of giggles whenever she looked at him or Sasuke. Iruka looked around and cleared his throat to get everyone's attention. He smiled at them.

"Congratulations again to all of you that passed. As some of you know and others don't as genin you will be working in teams of three. Each team will get a jounin sensei that will lead you on your missions," He looked up to see that everyone understood.

"Now over to your teams. They are selected according to your grades to balance out. Team 1: Michishio Raion,...Team 6: Gogyou Musei, Uzumaki Naraki, Ookami Dan. Team 7: Haruno Sakura, Garasu Seki, Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto. Team 8:..." Both Naruto and Naraki had looked up in surprise when they heard their names put in different teams. It had not fallen them in that they would not be on the same team. The colour in Narakis face soon drained as she looked at the two boys she was supposed to be on team with. Naruto finally got out of his shocked state as his own team was announced. He gave his sister a worried glance and stood up.

"Ey, Iruka-sensei. How come Naraki and I are not on the same team?" He asked with a look of worry on his face.

Iruka barely glanced up at him.

"Naruto, you graduated after everyone else. All the teams had already been made. The teams are made to be balanced. You are the dead last and therefore go on the same team as the one with the best grades, Uchiha Sasuke. You were added last and because of an extra student and you made your team a 4 man team in stead of a 3 man team. Besides siblings are as a general rule not put on the same team. It makes the risk of causalities and deaths to the same family or clan less. It also gives us a lot less trouble with parents complaining about their kids being hurt or killed on missions."

"But We don't have any," came as a whisper.

"What?" Iruka looked up at the small whisper

.
"We don't have any parents so no one will come. If we are on the same team the at least we can protect each other and don't have to worry about the other and get distracted on missions. On separate teams we will have different schedules and will hardly get to see one another."

Naruto was looking worriedly at his white faced sister as she spoke. She had tears in the corners of her eyes and they kept flickering to her team-mates with a scared look.
Iruka looked at the girl sitting in front of him. He could see how scared she was at the prospect of being alone with the boys on her team without any means of escape and without Naruto anywhere nearby. Realisation dawned at him as he remembered an episode that had happened just after he had become chuunin. He had been sworn to secrecy on the subject, but he still remembered the look on her face that night and knew she had had problems afterwards. And she did make and excellent point. No one would come complaining if something happened to one of them how ever much it saddened him.

"Okay." he said and gave another glance down on his papers.

"Garasu Seki, swich places with Uzumaki Naraki. Seki, you are now on Team 6 and Naraki you are on Team 7. Now back to business. Team 8: Inuzuka Kiba, Hyuuga Hinata..."
Naraki closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair with a relived look. Naruto also looked relived as he sat back down and gave his sister a one-handed, but comforting hug.

………………….

They had just been let out for lunch by Iruka-seinsei. Naraki was now back to normal and Naruto was bouncing after Sakura to ask her if she would come and eat lunch with him/them.

"Ey, Sakura-chan. Um I thought that since we are team-mates we should have lunch together." Sakura only gave him an ugly look.

"Who would want to eat lunch with you? Now get out of my way. I have to go and find Sasuke-kun and ask him to have lunch with me." And with that she flipped her hair over her shoulder and continued walking and called out for Sasuke.

Naraki looked at her brother's crestfallen look.

"Come on. Let's go have some ramen. My treat."

Naruto's face immediately lit up.

"Ramen!" he yelled as the two started to walk down the street.

…………………

They sat and watched as all the other teams got up and left with their new jounin sensei.

"Why does our sensei have to be the one to be late?" Naruto was complaining loudly.

Naraki looked over at her twin just as he looked up at her. They shared a grin.
Sakura was looking back and forth between the two having seen there shared grin.

"What?...What are you doing?" she asked as they began to move.

Sasuke only looked at the two with mild interest as they began to find the things they needed to pull off their prank.

"You can't do that!" Sakura yelled at them.

"Why not? He is the one being late. If he had come on time this would never have happened," Naraki said with a grin.

"Yeah, this is just ponishment for comming late," Naruto finished with an identical grin as they both stepped back to admire their work.

It didn't take long before a hand became visible in the door. All the new genin watched in anticipation as the blackboard-eraser started to fall, only to see that it fell to the floor, before the door was pushed a bit more open to reveal a mass of silvery, white hair and one visible eye. At the same time as the bucket of water fell down on the head.

……………..

There was a moment of absolute silence before Naruto and Naraki fell to the floor holding their stomachs while laughing. Sakura immediately started to explain and failed miserably.

"Eh.. you see Naruto and Naraki ...eh ...well...I tried to stop then, but...eh..."

"Hm," was all there was form Sasuke. There had been a little moment there where you could have seen just a hint of a shiver of his lips. Just a hint of a smile before he swallowed his laughter and put on an even stonier mask to hide his feelings.

………...

The silver haired jounin before them raised his hand to his face and put on a thoughtful expression. Well they thought that were what it was supposed to be. It was a bit hard to tell with his mask covering his face and his hitai'ate draged down over one eye.

"Well. My first impression is...I don't like you." with that he turned around and started to walk away.
