Last chapter was kind of sucky but this one will be better. Anyway, I don't own Naruto.

Chapter 2 Another Discovery

" Hi."

At the sound of her voice so close was enough to make Naruto jump. Soon following this little act of stupidity, he crashed back down and received many anime sweat drops. Picking himself up and dusting himself off he attempted to regain his composure by coughing and repeating, "Hello."

"Naruto, your such a loser." Came the irritated voice of the Uchiha.

"Ya Naruto. That was really smooth." Sakura added.

"Well, now that we seem to be settled down shall we introduce our selves?"

"Sure," Sakura said, "I'll go first. My name is Haruno Sakura, and I am currently ranked as chunnin in group 7.'

"Hia, and I'm Uchiha Sasuke, a current member of team 7, and also Chunnin rank."

"Why am I always last! I'm Uzumaki Naruto, member of team 7, and well you know the rest." A very irritated Naruto finished with a glare at Sakura who was making a face at him from the other side of Sasuke.

" Pleasure to meet you. I am Kishimouto Seri, my current rank is ANBU, and I belong to team 2." Seri said this with a smile on her face.

As you may have guessed Seri's introduction lowered the jaws of two of the three. Sasuke, however, smiled and said, " Well then, I guess we have a new genius here. Battle with ya sometime?"

"Sure, why not." Was all Seri said watching Sasuke walk off.

At The Academy Two Days Later

"Good morning Teams. I would like to introduce a new student, though I am sure you have already heard of her. Students, this is Kishimouto Seri. She will be assigned to one of your teams."

A girl with long, dirty blonde, hair that came all the way down to the middle of her back. Her eyes were light yellow and they stood out against her pale skin. Today she wore a light blue T-shirt that had the ANBU symbol on the front center, and black shorts with matching dark blue sandals.

"Hi." Was all she said to her intro.

"Seri will be assigned to team 7." Iruka said as he left the room.

Shortly following the introduction, Sakura ran up to Seri and promptly glomped her in a huge and strangling hug around the neck which knocked her backwards.

"I knew I would get to train with you!"

"Sakura, you're going to choke her." Sasuke simply stated. "Oh and Seri, our Sensei is usually late so don't count on getting right to things with him."

"Sure."

Naruto, mean while, was looking very flushed. When Seri turned her head to look at Naruto he quickly averted his gaze out the window. Hi didn't however expect the what happened next.

"Naruto-kun, are you okay?"

Naruto didn't know what to say. He couldn't blurt out what he felt in front of Sasuke and Sakura. But what was he soposed to say then, that he was feeling sick? NO! That would be a lame excuse.

"Um, I'm just hot that's all. Ya, just hot."

Seri gave him a smile and turned to pick up her conversation with Sakura where they left off. One person Naruto didn't see down there though was Sasuke. He began to be perplexed about this because not two seconds ago Sasuke had been down there talking.

"Hay Naruto," This was immediately followed by a jump from Naruto, "You got a crush." Sasuke said with a hint of laugh and mockery.

"I do not!" Was the very loud and irritated response the Uchiha got.

Unfortunately for Naruto, his shout was enough to stop the conversing girls bellow. They looked up at Naruto who was holding out a clenched fist in Sasuke's direction as the Uchiha was bent backwards with a triumphant smirk on his face.

"Naruto you FREAK! What is your problem?" Sakura shouted up at him.

Naruto just blushed. He didn't want to them why he had exploded like that so he just quietly sat down. Seri just looked at the obviously upset boy. She walk up past Sakura, ignoring the small gasp that Sakura released in surprise, and up to Naruto. She slowly walked down the isle and sat by Naruto.

"Naruto-kun, please tell me what is wrong."

Naruto would have answered in a very irrational way had it not been for the instant jerk of Seri's head when she heard someone come down the hall toward the door. She jumped up and ran to the edge of the isle. This attracted the attention of her two other team members to whom had up until this point been fighting quietly about what Naruto had just done. They looked at her with an inquisitive look on their faces. Then, they heard the door open and a familiar voice say, "Good morning."

"Kakashi-sensei, Your late again."

The three original members of the group shouted at the man walking in. The man was talk about '6.0', with long white hair, a headband with the symbol of the leaf village on it. Seri just looked at him. In turn he looked up at her and said,

"You must be the transfer from the village of wind. Glad to have you on my team. I have just one question. If you are at ANBU level then why are you set into Jounnin level?"

" Well Sensei, I could be wrong but I think that I am here because I never completed basic training."

This was followed by several anime falls and a huge anime sweat drop.

" Well if you never completed basic training, than how did you get to be an ANBU?"

"My father and mother wanted me to be at the peek of my strength so the started my training when I was three just after I learned the hand signs. Then at age ten the Hokage recognized my talent and skill and trained me personally. By then I was extremely skilled and smart in most areas."

"And they ignored that when you came here?"

"I don't think they know. And please don't make me explain why."

"Well then if we are all set, we can begin training."

With that They set off for the training grounds.

At The Training Grounds

"Okay, pare off and start sparing. We can finally do that in a way where I can walk around and make suggestions."

The pairings were as such,

.Sakura & Naruto

.Sasuke & Seri

Sasuke had an excited look on his face as he took out a kuni and got in his fighting stance. He looked at his opponent and smiled. He made a daring move. He lunged forward and thrust up into her gut. As he did so he felt a warm liquid spread down is back. Then he found he couldn't move. He averted his gaze from behind him to the being that was soposed to be Seri and gasped as he watched her melt into water.

"Water clone jutsu! But Seri is from the village of wind not the village of water!"

" Told you I was extremely skilled. Oh and don't try to move. The liquid I poured down your back numbs the nerves. In other words your paralyzed until I give you the antidote."

"That was good thinking Seri. But I would like to know where you got your hands on that. I've looked every where."

"Well Sensei, I kind of made it."

"HOW! I heard that the only person on the face of this earth that could make that stuff lived in the village of sand."

" I learned from the best."

With that in his mind, Kakashi started to wonder just who the girl is.

"Well Sensei, my name is Kishimouto Seri. I was born in the village of wind and was trained to be an elite fighter. Does that sum it up?"

"You can read minds!"

"Sometimes." Seri said in a mystical voice.

At this everyone was perplexed except Sasuke who was now shouting at Seri.

"WILL YOU GET RID OF THIS STUFF ALL READY!"

"Okay Sasuke, I'll help."

Seri walked back over to him, leaving the still perplexed Kakashi behind, and poured the antidote down Sasuke's back.

Practice went on and ended with Sasuke quite jumbled up and an apologetic looking Seri.

At Naruto's House Later That Night

Naruto was laying in bed staring at the ceiling thinking to himself.

" I wonder exactly who Seri is. I feel like I've meet her before but I can't think of where or when."

"I agree Naruto. She seems familiar. But I too can't remember why."

"Well if you remember her fox, then she must have been important for someone or something in our lives."

"I think, as usual, you are over thinking this."

"Well if I continue to have someone who looks like her in my dreams, than I must be thinking about her in the back of my mind."

"I agree that that can't be helped, but you can help thinking about her in your waking moments."

"Still."

"Just go to sleep Naruto. Try to relieve yourself of her image."

"I'll try."

At Seri's House

"So what did It feel like training with other people?"

"It felt weird. I never have had to dull my skills so much for so long."

"It feels different doesn't it?"

" Ya. But I think I like it."

"Well then there is no problem right?"

" Right. You know Aeri, I'm glad that I have you here with me."

"Glad to be here with you too Seri."

And with that my friends I end this chapter. I'm so evil Mmmmmuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaahhhhhhaaaaaaahhhhhaaa! Then again, I'm not as evil as my sister. She stops thing right in the middle of exciting scenes. Admittedly that is a good way to keep readers.

BTW: You pronounce Seri as sure with an e sound on the end, and you pronounce Aeri as air with an e sound on the end.
