'ALRIGHT! I'm EARLY! FOR the FIRST time! But where's Kakashi? Hehe! He's LATE!' Keritsu yelled happily as she answered her own question. So, you might have guessed that she was late for Ibiki's meeting the day before!

She opened a pouch, revealing a rice dumpling. She sat on a branch and began to take small bites from her breakfast while coming up with punishments for Kakashi to do. She thought of 150 rounds round Konoha and figured out that that was to simple. After moments and moments of thinking, she finally came out with a suitable but grueling punishment for Kakashi, 'An Iron man Challenge,' she thought as she clapped her hands together grinning cunningly. She did have second thoughts that she might be too evil in treating Kakashi like that, but when the sun finally rose, he was still not present.

'Fine! After he's finish with the punishment, he'll never be late again,' she said highly frustrated.

After 2 more hours of anger and boredom, Kakashi finally showed up.

'Where the hell were you?' Keritsu asked angrily with a finger pointing at him.

'I.. err.. got lost on the road of life!' he said rather nervously

'You're still late like always, aren't you! Can't you change? YOU STILL KEEP THAT STUPID BOOK?' she bellowed still with her finger at him as he took out his beloved 'Icha Icha Paradise' book.

'It isn't the same! Just got it yesterday! It's the latest edition!' he said defensively, covering his book with his hands, as though Keritsu would grab it and rip it up into many pieces.

'Anyway, you're still late! You've got to do punishments!'

'Punishments, eh?' he said grinning under his mask, 'What's it gonna be?'

Even though Kakashi already knew what the they were, he wanted to here it from her own mouth, why? you'll find out soon enough.

'100 rounds round Konoha on your hands and 100 more rounds around Konoha, this time with your legs of course, and 100 more one hand push ups, then 200 sit-ups' she said fluently, waiting to see Kakashi's awed expression, but to her amazement, Kakashi stood there grinning all this while.

'What's with the grin?'

'You're going to do this with me,' he said enjoying the look on Keritsu's face, 'That's not all, you are going to spar with me!'

At the word 'spar', Keritsu's face brighten up and all she said were the words, 'Bring it on!'

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Hey crybaby!'A girl shouted as she saw Shikamaru in the distance but was annoyed that he didn't turn but continued to walk ahead.

'HEY GENIUS!', The girl yelled even louder than she did before.

Suddenly he felt a tap on his back, and he turned and sulked at the girl in front of him, it was non other than... TEMARI!

'Hey woman' Shikamaru said with the usual lazy tone in his voice.

'Hey genius!'

'I've got a name and it's Shikamaru!'

'I'd rather call you genius! And I've got a name too you know, and it's Temari.'

'Fine! I'll call you woman then, all women are really troublesome' he said with a sigh.

'Whatever.. Where are you going anyway? Let's go and have lunch,' she said pulling The Nara by his sleeve

'I'd rather watch the clouds...'

'C'mon! You'd rather watch the ramen go in your stomach? Right?'

After several arguments Shikamaru finally followed Temari to eat lunch as he thought that that was the only way which could close the troublesome argument and plus he was hungry...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'New guy?' Neji asked scanning him as though he was a bomber or a drug-peddler.

Yamato just nodded his head and went off to sit on a log. Yamato was observing Neji too. This was what he took note off :-

Blush rather quickly when talking to the girl with brown pinned up hair. The girl blushes quickly too, when talking to the guy. Both like to sit close to each other. White-eyed guy would usually look into the girl's eyes. The girl would usually touch his long hair but the guy doesn't seem to mind. They have their hands around each others waists and are now talking in whispers...

Before he could finish observing the Hyuuga, Maito Gai appearred with a large turtle under him in a cloud of smoke.

'Lee, Neji, Tenten, there is this new boy I want you to meet, who would join us from today onwards until further notices in our youthful and challenging trainings and missions. His name is OODAMO YAMATO!' He said as though he was the host of a toothpaste contest and Yamato was the winner.

Tenten sweat dropped, Lee was smiling gleefully, Neji just stood there expressionless, while Yamato smirked. Fortunately no one saw him smirk. Well the reason he smirked was not because he found Gai and Lee amusing, it was because he found a worthy opponent in the love-sick Neji, who was holding hands with Tenten behind his back.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Hinata, I love you,' Naruto said while combing his hair in front of his mirror. He had found it really hard to confess to her.

'What if she hates me? What if she won't speak to me again?' Naruto thought and shuddered, 'I can't live without Hinata...'

Naruto needed to be near Hinata. He would always dream about her, if he can catch some sleep, cause usually he'll be lying on his bed thinking about her.

'That's it! I'm going to ask Sakura for help!' He spoke to himself firmly before slamming the door behind him.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Naruto-kun? What are you doing here? Err...What do you want? Sakura asked not clearly herself.

'I wanted to ask you something' he said stepping himself into her house and found Sasuke lying on the couch.

'Hi dobe' Sasuke smirked at him.

'Hi teme' Naruto said forcing himself to grin but it sort of looked more like he had to go the toilet.

'So, what did you want to ask?' Sakura asked sitting beside the lying Sasuke.

'I...wa-wanted to ask you someth-thing ab-about Hi-Hinata-chan..' Naruto said blushing furiously.

Sasuke smirked while Sakura grinned but patted him on the back while saying, 'This is what you do...'

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Hinata chan?' Naruto looked around in the forest clearing.

'Na-naruto-kun?'

'Hinata chan!' he said unknowingly pulling her into a bear hug like she was some lost kid which he had just found.

'Na-na-ruto-kun!' she blushed deeper than before.

Naruto realised what he had just done and pulled her away just in time before she fainted.

'Hinata-chan, I..,' he said scrathicng the back of his head and blushing, 'Couldyouhavedinnerwithmetonight?'

'I did-didn't catch that, Na-naruto-kun'

'Oh yeah... Do...you... want... to...have... dinner..., ' he said breathing in heavy gasps trying to remember what Sakura taught him but Sasuke's smirking face kept floating in his mind. He had to show that Sasuke-teme. He won't lose to him! With confident in his eyes, he gave another shot, 'Hinata, if you are free tonight, do you want to come with me for dinner?'

Hinata looked at Naruto, not believing what she had just heard. Naruto looked at Hinata hopefully, and slowly his smiling face turned into a sad one.

'You're busy, I know...' Naruto said with his head down walking out of the forest clearing, leaving a sad and sorry Hinata behind.

Kakashi grinned as he blocked Keritsu's punch and just then a clone jumped up behind and tried to punch him but he Kawarimied to a branch on a tree while thinking, 'She thinks she can be Jounin with this? There's no need for me to activate the Sharingan actually! Waste of ti...!'

'Yo!' Keritsu said immitating him before punching him squarely right in the face showing true Jounin spirit.

'Still think you can beat me, Kakashi?'

'Yeah...' he said wiping the blood of his mouth.

The spar continued. Kakashi realised that she was a really good ninja and that he had underestimated her. From a young girl who used to carry a kakashi-plushie around, she has really grown up. Just one more punch was needed before Kakashi would knock out cold. Just one more punch was needed for Keritsu to knock out cold too.

'I'm not a loser...' Keritsu thought as she remembered being taunted by everyone for being such a sentimental freak and a loser. She shouldn't have dwelled on those thoughts for too long, well at least not then. Kakashi had pinned her down to the ground when he saw the opening.

Kakashi smirked and looked at The Kureshi, trying to find theangry or sadlook in her eyes. While searching for the missing emotions, Kakashi was suddenly enthraled in her eyes. His heart's passion was suddenly at burst. He concentratedon the features of her face and slowly his face drew closer and closer to Keritsu's...

'Is that suppose to be the final jutsu or... is he trying to... kiss me?'
