Disclaimer: Do not own, in any way shape or form. Though I do have a very shiny poster of Yondaime that is MINE, ALL MINE! ahem Anyway... O.o
Pairings: None
Warnings: Nada
AN: Moving back into college eats up my life. Sorry about the delay. Slightly unusual one this time, but hopefully you will all appreciate. ;)

Rin sighed. How on earth had she ended up with three of the most tiresome men in the village as the rest of her team? Of course, she'd come to expect this sort of thing from Obito, he was always getting himself into scrapes, and even Arashi-sensei had a way of finding trouble…but honestly, she'd expected better from Kakashi, at least!

If he's going to summon up his dogs to track something down, wouldn't it be more intelligent to actually let them do their job, instead of crawling through the three-inch-long thorns themselves? She shook her head at them and pulled out her best You've-done-something-very-stupid-and-made-more-work-for-your-medic-nin look. That got her a slightly glum stare from her masked teammate, and sheepish smiles from her teacher and Obito.

"What on earth possessed you three? Honestly!"

"Sorry, Rin!" Obito gave her another sheepish smile.

"Yes, it wasn't a very good idea," Arashi-sensei said, scratching the back of his head, then wincing at the movement. "How about we buy you dinner when we get back to Konoha?"

She sighed again, fondly this time, and spun her finger in a circle. "Turn around. And get those shirts off! If I can't get to the cuts then I can't heal them!"

Kakashi raised his head at this, and she made a face at him. "No, Kakashi, you don't have to take the mask off. Men!"

With that, they all scooted around, tugging off their much-abused shirts to bare much-abused backs.

Much-abused backs…that were very well-built (underneath the bloody scratches – she hadn't known thorns that long existed!). Now, you have to focus! She chided herself, and set about cleaning and healing her teammates' injuries.

Fifteen minutes later she stepped back to admire her handiwork. Not even any new scars for them! And it was such a lovely view…hmm….

Keeping her face carefully blank, she gave their backs one last check. "All right. Now stand up and turn around. I'd best make sure you didn't crawl over anything nasty while I'm at it."

Their chests were fine (oh-so-fine!), and after a good, medical "inspection" she let them put their shirts back on. Arashi-sensei eyed her with amused wariness for a moment, but made no comment, for which she was grateful. Just because she wasn't romantically interested in any of her teammates didn't mean she couldn't appreciate them!

All in all, the annoyance had turned out worthwhile after all, so she smiled, then informed Arashi-sensei sweetly that she'd take them up on that offer of dinner.

AN: I am going with the current best guess at Yondaime's name, which is Arashi. In Kakashi Gaiden, they call him sensei, but I think they must have used his name sometimes, so we're going with this. :) Up next: The maid who brings the Kazekage his coffee has a rather pleasant surprise one day... ;P
