"Now you're the new Genin Ninja am I right?" Sarutobi asks

"Oh yes we are and we would love a job most fitting for this rank" Kakashi says politely

"No way we need a job that can really make us stronger!" Naruto screams

"It doesn't matter what job it is Loser…as long as we're are one step closer"

Sasuke glares at Naruto

"What you say SOCKS-K!" Naruto teases his name.

"What.. you can't hear me loser!" Sasuke smirks

"No if you weren't mumbling cuz your scared maybe I could hear you" Naruto yells back. Thunder and lightning crash in the back ground.

"Ahem! I think we should get on with it...Kakashi your first mission…This is madam shijimi the fires' lords wife". Sarutobi announces a heavy looking lady with a disturbing face.

"Oh my baby, my baby Tora is gone!" She finally screams

"UH?" everyone says confused

"You will go find and capture her cat Tora" Sautobi announces

"What?" Naruto yells

"Didn't you hear loser your gonna catch a little kitty cat" Sasuke smirks

"KITTY!" Atori yells with cat ears on the top of her head.

"Good enough" Kaskashi turns to leave

"Wait no way agh!" Naruto screams while being pulled by Sasuke

"Kitty Kitty Kitty!" Atori follows while yelling

"What a group" Sarutobi lowers his what ever that thing is over his eyes.

(In the forest)

"AH!" Naruto screams pouncing on the cat

"Meow Mew !" the cat scratches as Naruto is holding on the cat.

"Agh stupid cat!" Naruto screams laying on the ground avoiding being scratched by the raging cat.

"Aw how cute" Atori coos smiling at Naruto and Tora
"You really think it's cute? How am I doing Atori are you impressed?" Naruto gets a big grin on his face.

"uh" Atori looks confused.
"Loser" Sasuke mumbles with jealousy

"hm?" Atori turns around and looks at Sasuke "What's the matter?" She looks at him with big eyes.

"uh..uh oh nothing" Sasuke lowers his eyes and walks off ahead back to the building.

"huh" Atori stares at him as he walks off.

"Let's go" Kakashi says behind her'

"OK" Atori says enthusiastically

"Yeah ow!" Naruto follows carrying the cat with him.

(In the building)

"My baby!" Mrs. Shijimi screams running toward Naruto

"Ah…here just take it!" Naruto screams with the cat out before being trampled.

"Oh thank you...Oh here before I forget" The hefty lady says handing o a man at the desk some money.

"Oh…why are you giving them money…I thought when you do something good it's with out pay." Atori says with big eyes

"Your right but it's basically donations to the village " Kakashi says closing his eyes.

"Oh" Atori lowers her eyes.

As the group walk out Naruto stops and turns around with a scrunched up face.

"Naruto? " Atori speaks with a breath.

"Give us another mission…you expect us to get stronger catching cats!" Naruto screams.

"I assure you until you grow up and earn your way to a higher rank you will be doing simple tasks." Sarutobi yells

"What no way I want to become a stronger ninja!" Naruto screams at the top his lungs.

"Shut up lo-" Sasuke starts but stops when he sees Atori looking at him.

"Uh…" Atori says as she tries to talk to him as he walks away "Kakashi sensei Sasuke is ignoring me!" Atori bawls

"You should know why if you weren't so dense maybe you'd notice…but excuses are excuses" Kakashi closes his eyes and sighs hopelessly.

"Hey!" Atori screams as Sarutobi starts to speak.

"Fine then, tomorrow you will go on a rank C mission" He lowers his eyes.

"Yeah!" Naruto cheers. Everyone starts to cheer except for Sasuke who is out in the hall way by himself.

(Sasuke's thought)

"What is wrong with me! There is no way I like this girl , it just can't be. I think I'm coming down with something. Yeah I've been feeling pretty dizzy and my face gets hot and I sweat a little maybe just a cold. God! Why do I think of her so much!

(Out of his thoughts)

"Sasuke we are leaving" Sasuke looks up and sees Kakashi's face.

"Oh"Sasuke lifts up off the wall. "Hey…do you...do you think she likes me?" Sasuke says walking beside the tall man.

"Who Mrs. Shijimi?" Kakashi looks confused

"No…Atori!" Sasuke says screaming. He calms down "I mean you know how people avoid me because of my attitude…I don't want her to be scared on missions to talk to me." Sasuke turns around.

"Oh I think she admires you a lot she loves holding your hand as I've noticed" Kakashi smiles.

"Hn!" Sasuke runs ahead blushing. Kakashi stands back grinning.

(With Atori and Naruto)

"Hey Naruto you really want to become a ninja that badly?" Atori stares down.

"Believe it…and I want to beat that Sasuke he thinks he's so cool grr!" Naruto rages

"hmm?" Atori says while giggling

"Oh heh heh" Naruto notices and blushes.

As they stop Naruto looks at her. "What?" Atori steps back.

"Atori" Naruto leans toward her and picks her up bridal style.

"w- Whoa!"Atori wobbles side to side and feels her mouth close with force. Naruto kissed her!

"Naruto!" a voice screams with anger.

"Heh" Naruto puts Atori down and smirks." I got your girlfriend"

"Grr!" Sasuke grabs his collar and stops to look at Atori.

"What are you waiting for?" Naruto smirks "Hit me gives me all the reason to hit you back." His eyebrows lower.

"Hmm" Sasuke lowers Naruto's collar and runs toward the forest.

"Sasuke !" Atori yells and runs into the direction he went.

"What?" Naruto screams jaw dropped.

"That's true love for you" Kakashi says from behind.

"Grr.." Naruto growls with anger.

(In the forest at the lake)

"Why did I think that she would like me of all people" Sasuke starts to feel very bad of himself.

"Sasuke S-asuke!" Atori comes running but he still doesn't notice.

"Why " Sasuke whispers

"Oh Sasuke" Atori says hugging him from behind.

"….Where's Naruto shouldn't you be with him…you do like him" Sasuke looks away from her.

"No I don't Sasuke he forced his nasty lips on me I didn't know it was coming….I'm so sorry it made you upset" Atori holds him tighter.

"It's ok" he holds her hand

"Sasuke…I really don't understand why you got upset" Atori sits next to him

"What?" Sasuke looks up.

"I mean I know that you open up to me more because of good intentions…but I mean if you would never fall for anyone why do you care about what some guy does to me" she looks down toward the water.

"uh uh" Sasuke runs out of breath while blushing.

"I know you are acting as if you were my brother…right?" Atori perks up.

"Uh yeah" Sasuke moves his eyes away from hers.

"Well…" Atori lifts up. "I think it's time to get back agree." Atori starts to smile.

Sasuke is silent then lifts up to walk with her.

(With the group)

"About time you came back sweetie!" Naruto runs toward her to hug her.

"hmf!" Sasuke walks in front of her and glances at him.

A shock of fear runs down Naruto's spine and he backs off.

"uh hee" Atori is lost then follows the group that is leaving her.

"Now we will meet in the morning at the bridge." Kakashi greets off.

Everyone agrees as they leave. Sasuke and Atori are stuck walking with each other.

"So…Sasuke what do you think this mission will be like?" Atori's face blows up.

"Probably very difficult maybe you shouldn't go." Sasuke says with a smirk.

"No way no I am going I will become a strong ninja!" Atori stares with big eyes.

"uh" Sasuke steps back , Atori's face was way too close to his.

"Why am I blushing wake up Sasuke wake up!" Sasuke was lost in thought.

"Sasuke...uh see you tomorrow" Atori's voice broke through

"uh" Sasuke stares at what seemed to be Atori's house.

"Bye!" Atori says running toward her house.

"Bye" he says quietly.

"I guess I do like her there's no backing out maybe it's just a passing phase…it has only been one frickin week!" Sasuke screams with anger.

"Hmm" Sasuke thinks as he heads home.

The next day the group met up.

"Wow Atori you look cute in your new outfit!" Naruto blushes.

"What…oh no Naruto I don't." Atori insists. Sasuke looks at her, she has on black baggy pants with a short jacket and a white T-shirt underneath.

"Alright kiddies let's head to the councils' office." Kakashi wave his hand.

Naruto, Sasuke and Atori limping behind follow the gray hair to the building.

(In the office)

"Alright your mission is to be the bodyguard of a bridge builder." Sarutobi starts.

"Wow we have the life of someone in our hands" Atori says in a spacey tone.(All you guys reading when Atori is half sleep she is very random and grumpy)

"You ok Atori" Kakashi asks

"YES I'm ok and…Why you gotta be all worried can't a girl respond to something if she wants GOSH!" Atori screams while turning her head.

"oook" Kakashi turns around to the conversation.

"Mr. Tazuna" Sarutobi greets and old man with a beer bottle in his hand.

"What an old geezer" Naruto teases

"So these are the "Ninjas" you lay my life with? Tazuna says grumpily. "And what's with the short sunshine head boy" He points.

"Ha I wonder who that is…sunshine head-" Naruto catches on.

"What…sunshine head…short why you! Naruto is held back by Kakashi.

"Alright I guess you'll do." Tazuna starts off.

"Come on" Sasuke yells back to the stiff walking Atori.

"Stop yelling I'm nappin!" Atori says as if she was drunk.

"uh…come on" Sasuke grabs her hand.

"Let go of me you corn flake…and hot chicken...boy!" Atori trails off….asleep
