Naruto groaned. Why was Kakashi-sensei always late?

"Hey Naruto-kun, Sasuke, Sakura." Airashii said, walking up to team seven

"Shii-chan! What took you so long?" The blonde cyclone asked, "I had to sit here with Grumpy.

"I slept in 's all." The dark haired Kunoichi said, munching on a sugar and cinnamon rice cake. Naruto projected an image of her hanging over the edge of the bed, drool coming out of her mouth, to her mind.

"I do NOT sleep like that!" Airashii protested.

"It worked!" Naruto said. He had been wondering if he could send images. Airashii grinned, and sent Naruto an image of him in pink bunny slippers.

"But they're comfortable! They keep my feet warm!"

The Raiju chuckled. 'Kid,' she said, 'you are pathetic.'

All of this yelling and seemingly silent conversing got the two biju containers odd looks from the other two members of team seven. Airashii gave in and stuck out her tongue, then turned her back on The blonde, who did the same.

In poofed Kakashi.

"I got a misson for you all."

"Is it to get a missing nin, or track down an angry murderer, or save a damsel, or…"

Kakashi sighed. This kid didn't realize you had to start out small.

"No, our first mission is simply painting the fence around konoha."

"Aww man!" Naruto said, obviously disappointed.

Airashii spent almost all of the missions practicing her telepathy with Naruto, since she couldn't participate. This was because, despite working with them and the mentoring thing, she wasn't a part of team seven, more like an occasional addition. Kakashi said she didn't have to come on the missions with them, since she wasn't getting paid, but she enjoyed watching them work while she got to sit in the shade, lounging. Some times Naruto and Airashii would send each other funny images just to lighten the mood. The one that was the best of them all was the picture of Airashii holding Sasuke up by the ankles, and Naruto pouring paint down one of the legs of his shorts.

"Now that we're done with our mission for today, I would like to hear how your training has been going." Kakashi said. He was actually really curious how the blonde and the brunette's training had gone. He hoped he had made the right decision putting them together, because he knew that he was a joker and she was a laugher, but Airashii proved to be a good instructor.

"Well," Sasuke began, "Sakura and I trained in Taijutsu, and we mostly did excersises. Punches, kicks, blocks, etcetera."

"Interesting," Kakashi said, "And how about you Airashii?"

"Nothing much. We just worked on chakra control and a few simple ninjutsu.." The green eyed kunoichi said, making it sound like no big deal.

"Okay then," Kakashi said,"we'll pick up the training tomorrow then.
