A/N: Oyo everybody! Sorry for the delay in the update but I spent a couple nights at a friends. Frankly right now I'm tired and sore from all the wrestling and sparring but I have to update or you'll all strangle me. I cant believe you guys are making me do this with blistered hands. (Too much fighting games) But oh well, read on!
Night fell quickly as the two lay there together silently. The night was quiet until one cricket decided it was time to do his job and made his annyoing noise. Sakura stirred and moaned, not wanting to get up but reality hit her and she was wide-awake. And upon seeing the time of day she cursed loudly, "My parents are gonna kill me when I get home!" And gave a running start but promptly tripped onto her face. "Ow! Who in the hell-!" and she saw Khristo silently sleeping in his own peaceful way. Her anger was quickly diminished and replaced by a slight blush. 'I can't believe we spent a whole day just laying there together. Sakura what is wrong with you? You just had a fight with Sasuke, met him and already getting yourself in deep. What..is..this..feeling that I get when he's around me. I just feel so warm and…safe.' She sat there for a moment contemplating her feelings when she came back to reality and got up ontu her feet and started to walk off but was agin stopped. "You know, it would be faster if I took you." Khristo spoke lightly, not even stirring from his spot. A little bit startled Sakura jumped up. "Ah!" "Don't scare me like that!" Inner Sakura yelled. "No thanks. I can make it on my own thank you very much" she huffed But he smiled. Sakura se4nsed the oncoming danger, "No-! Don't you--Argh!" was all she could get out before Khristo picked her up and ran off before she could blink. He carried her and ran so fast that Sakura had to hold on for dear life. It went on like this for a minute then he stopped with her still in his arms, "Um..now where is your house?"
"Baka!"
"You want to get home or not?" She was silent for a couple seconds and told him where it was. And they were off again in a blur. Though this time Sakura found out she actually liked the violent rush of the wind. They quickly landed in front of her house and he let hewr down, though she was a bit wobbly. He just stood there and watched as she opened the door to her house and looked back at him, "Bye." She said and he smiled back and disappeared in a blur. Sakura sighed and went into her house, closing the door behind her.

Morning quickly came as Khristo was already waiting for his new team by the big oak tree. At least he hoped it was an oak and the right one. But this worry was diminished when a dark haired woman walked near him, "Nekori Khristo, I presume?" Khristo gave a nod. "Then you must be Kurenai-sensei." She gave her own nod. "Okay since you're the first here get to work, a thousand push ups, a thousand sit ups, a thousand kicks to the kick stump, now get started." Khristo sighed. 'Just like home.' And started with vigor. Kurenai just watched this boy do all her tasks. She sweatdropped. She was kidding about this. He was just starting close to his last kick on the kick stump wqhen the rest of the team arrived and watched him. Khristo finished with a powerful roundhouse kick and knocking the kick stump off its roots. Khristo slumped to the ground. 'Yep, just like home.' He turned to Kurenai to see what to do next and noticed three others. Not knowing what to say he just waved sheepishly and came up to them. And as he passed Kurenai she said, "I was joking." And he stopped and sweatdropped then sat down with the others. Right next to a girl with blackish-blue hair and who was fidgetty. Khristo didn't pay any mind to it though and looked at his other teamates, One had a weird chakra signature and wore sunglasses. The other had long unruly black hair and had a dog in his shirt. Yes a dog, Khristo couldn't understand it either but he didn't say anything. Kurenai sat in front of them and glared at her team. Which made them all stiffen up and pay attention. "Ok, it seems we have a new addition to our team. His names Nekori Khristo. He'll be training with us until the exams so don't get cozy! Now Khristo…" She turned her glare on him. He gulped. "Mind telling us a little about yourself?" Khristo mentally sighed in relief. 'Well this is embarassing' he thought as the three looked at him. "Well, as you already know my name's Nekori Khristo. I like Pocky, stargazing, and feeling the wind on my face. I don't like people who are only out for themselves, people who try to take my Pocky, and spiders." They stared at him questioningly. "What?..theyre gross and evil." The stares still continued. "Anyways, my goal is to be known in history as the greatest ninja of my element." The dog-boy raised a question, "What element?"
"Wind" he replied without hesitation., "Now this is really awkward…..can I get your names?" dog-boy smiled, "Names Kiba and this here is Akamaru." The dog barked his greeting. The shades guy was next. "Aburame Shino." He said in a slight monotone. 'This guy is cool!' Khristo thought and nodded. The girl was a little slower than the other two but she managed to stammer out "H-Hyuuga H-Hin-Hinata" Khristo smiled at her and she turned away fast and twiddled her fingers. 'You know, her shyness is actually cute.'
Kurenai broke in the conversation, "Ok now that we've got this outta the way get off yer bums and get to training!" With a start and a "Yes M'am!" they got up. Khristo wondered what to do next and watched as the Hyuuga girl practiced palm strikes on a tree. Each hit producing a dull -Whap-. Khristo walked right up next to her. Not uttering a sound or word, just standing there watching her every move. After awhile she finally noticed him and gave a jump. "Ah! What I-is it Khisto-san?" He sighed. "Just watching and please don't call me Khristo-san. Makes me feel old."
"Okay…umm why are you watching me?" and twiddled her fingers she said with her head down. "Look, if we're gonna talk the least you can do is look me in the eyes." A 'Sorry' was all she could say but still her head was down. Khristo sighed, 'This might take awhile.' "Hinata was it? I see you're favorable to palm strikes. I know a few palm strikes secrets that I could teach you, that is if you want them."
Appearing slightly interested she asked, "H-hai. But what do you want in return?" and at her own thoughts blushed deeply and twiddled her fingers furiously. Khristo almost laughed, "No Hinata-chan. Nothing like that, just no more khristo-san or khristo-sama or kami forbid khristo-sensei." She giggled lightly at his expression when mentioning 'khristo-sensei'. Shaking his head khristo stepped closer to the tree. "Ok first secret hinata-chan." Khristo took a stance, concentrated for a moment. A deep, long sigh, "Secret Technique: Highwind Palm!" and Khristo Palm striked the air in front of him and a force of air pushed a big tree backwarrds about 15 ft. Hinata stared in shock as did the others who saw. Khristo turned around and saw everyone staring at him. "What?"
Frankly I'm getting tired of saying this but I guess some people need to be reminded.
Review please.
