Naruto groaned. Why was Kakashi-sensei always late?
"Hey Naruto-kun, Sasuke, Sakura." Airashii said, walking up to her team mates.
"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 Rokubi 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 and Naruto had spent almost all of the mission sending each other funny images, practicing their telepathy. The one that took the cake though, was the image of Sasuke being held upside down by his ankles by Airashii, with Naruto pouring paint all over him. A few times Sasuke looked over at Naruto with envy, but no one really noticed. They were all too concentrated on getting this tedious task done a quickly as possible.

"Now that we're done with our mission, I would like to hear how your training went yesterday." Kakashi said. He was actually really curious how the blonde and the brunette's training had gone. He had put them together because not only were they both containers for biju, but Airashii was actually a moderately good instructor.
They had gone back to the training grounds, where they were now all sitting by the upright logs.
"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?"
"Naruto met the Kyubi, they made a contract, we worked in telepathy, and Naruto also met the Rokubi. That's about it." The green eyed kunoichi said, making it sound like no big deal.
'Ahh,' Kakashi thought, 'so he has come in contact with the Kyubi.'
"Kakashi-sensei. How could Naruto have met with the Kyubi?" Sakura wondered, "Wasn't the Kyubi killed?"
Kakashi looked over at Naruto, who nodded, giving him the ok to tell them.
"Well, the Kyubi wasn't killed. He was merely sealed inside an infant boy, in this case, Naruto."

I know this chapter is really short, but I took the advice from KaL-El of Krypt0n, and decided to expand on the reactions a bit. I really made a mistake, and made Sakura's character shallow (Like, not expanding on her emotions, not like shallow as in Valley girl shallow. No offense.) I really do love constructive crit, It makes life better for everyone, and It makes me a better writer.
