Sakura sat silently with her team. There was no "Sasuke-kun!" Nothing. Even Naruto knew better than to say anything. And that's saying something. She hadn't seen Khristo for a whole week. And couldn't help but think of him. 'I mean it's not like I like him or anything. He just helped me out a little. That's all.' Is what she kept telling herself but she knew better than that. In the little time they knew each other he had grown on her. Kakashi poofed into the field. "Hello." "You're late!"
" Sorry I'm late there was a new edition of Icha Icha Paradise on sale and I just had to get it."
"Liar!" he yelled. Sakura and Sasuke just started at Naruto. "Umm Naruto? I think he's actually telling the truth." Naruto just gave a blank look. "uwah?" and Kakashi gave a smilke underneath his mask. "I like to keep you on your toes." Naruto frowned in thought. "But then how will we know if you're telling the truth or not?" Kakashi was silent for a moment then appeared thoughtful. "Hmm. Didn't think about it that way."
Everyone sweatdropped. "Thanks Naruto. Thanks a lot." Sakura sighed. 'Everything so crazy arounfd these guys.' They had a small training session since there were no missions available that day. And having some free time meant nothing to do except wander around aimlessly. But as she started her walk she was stopped by a voice. "Sakura! Wait!" She turned around, "Hey Khristo..wher've you….." she stoppedwhen she noticed it wasn't Khristo. Sasuke looked at Sakura, a little bit ruffled at bieng called that pompous-no good-interferering-goody goody. "Sakura, we need to talk."

Khristo sat there leaning against a tree as he watched Hinata practice the technique. Over and over again. He wanted to stop her as she looked ready to collapse at any moment but he knew she wouldn't let him. She paused for a breather and then continued. Khristo could only shake his head. She'll never quit. But maybe that's what he likes in women. A strong determination. But why is he thinking like this about Hinata and Sakura? He can't stay long,..theres no reason..to come back after the exams right? Right? Khristo shook this from his head. Don't think about the future. Think about the now. A –thud- later and Hinata was finally down. Khristo got up and picked her up. Though he didn't know why. He just did and it didn't help that he didn't know where she lived. Sighing he decided just to lean her against the tree. Her white eyes closed and her skin sheening from the sweat and sun. Khristo couldn't help but stare. Shaking his head of any thoughts that might make him start reading Icha Icha Paradise, he shook Hinata to wake her just a little. Her eyes fluttered open and closed, trying to wake up. When he thought she was awake enough he gave her a soldier pill. The pill took effect almost immediately. Her eyes shot open and she sat up. "Wha-?" Khristo smiled. "Hey, take it easy. Take a break, you've been at it all day." She would've said something but he gave her a smile. Not his usual smirk or grin, but a smile. She couldn't help but blush and turn around. And Khristo bieng a litle thickheaded just sighed and turned her around gently "Listen, I don't ask for much but when were talking I'd like you to at least—"he stopped when he noticed their faces were a little too close. Close enough to….Both knew how close they were but neither moved. Their breaths mixed in the short space between them. The long silence was finally broken when Hinata stammered. "k-K-Khristo?"
"Y-Yeah?"
"T-there's a spider on your head." Khristoo turned blue. "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"
That's it for this chapter. I'll update again tomorrow. Ok, some of you may have noticed that I update twice a day and wonder why. Easy. I have nothing to do! Too much spare time can be mentally hazardous. Keep out of reach of children.
