Hana paced around the room, waiting for their new sensei to arrive. Nari was chattering away, but neither her nor Sumi were listening to her. Hana was too focused – trying to figure out who their sensei might be. Was it Kakashi? Or Asuma? Somehow – she didn't get that feeling at all. Before she could register what happened, a kunai came flying at her from through the window. Sumi jumped to her feet – surprisingly ready to defend her new teammate, but Hana managed to jump out of the way.
The trio gulped, Sumi and Nari standing guard while Hana pulled the kunai out of the wall. "What the hell?" she mumbled, examining it carefully for any hints as to who owned it. "Good morning, ladies!" they suddenly heard, before a man jumped through the window, grinning proudly. "Who are you..?" Nari gulped, hiding behind Sumi who pushed her back into position. "Well – I'm your new Sensei!" he chimed, twirling a kunai around his finger.
"WHAT THE HELL YOU COULD HAVE KILLED ME!" Hana screamed, her face a bright purple from rage. "Oh, no, Miss Uchiha. Not at all. You see, I have been watching you three. I know exactly what you're capable of" he said, jumping down from the window sill and approaching them. "Wonderful – he's a pervert" Hana sighed, sitting down on the floor and placing her head in her hands. Their sensei chuckled, shaking his head "excuse me, I didn't mean to sound so.. perverted. Let's start again, shall we? I'm Takahashi – your new sensei. How about we go somewhere private to discuss ourselves, hm?". "SEE YOU ARE A PERVERT" Hana roared.
"Come on, you three! No time to waste!" he exclaimed, jumping out the window. The trio followed close behind in fear of losing him, and they soon sat on the roof of the academy. Hana couldn't help but wonder how Sasuke was getting on with Naruto and Sakura – but she also had to focus on herself. "Now. I presume you three know one another quite well?" their sensei questioned. Nari shook her head "well – no, actually". "Very well. Let's start by introducing ourselves. Give your name, one thing you like, and one thing you dislike, starting with Miss Uchiha. GO".
Hana hesitated before responding "I'm Hana Uchiha. I like singing, and I dislike pork". It was the best she could think of on the spot. "Alright, interesting!" Takahashi smiled, running a hand through his black hair before turning to look at Sumi, who was in the middle. He nodded, letting her know she could speak. "I'm Sumi Tanaka. I like being left alone, and I hate not being left alone" she mumbled. Takahashi winced a little "eh- we'll work on it. Next".
Nari took a deep breath before gushing "I'M NARI UZUMAKI AND I LIKE RAMEN AND I DISLIKE RUDE PEOPLE". Sumi snorted "guess we won't get along, then". Takahashi sweat dropped, before sighing deeply. Sometimes, he hated his job "alright, alright. Enough bickering". The pair stopped, sighing a little and leaning back against the steps they were perched on. Hana cringed, avoiding the gaze of her sensei. He seemed to be observing her for some reason. Perhaps he was trying to see if she was as great as everyone said.
"Well ~ I guess we have a very powerful team here" he nodded, standing up and gazing over them with his hazel eyes "we have Hana Uchiha, of the Uchiha clan. You're probably the most powerful here on this rooftop". Sumi and Nari looked at Hana, causing her to blush furiously "well... I guess you could say that". "Well I want you to prove your strength to me" he explained "meet me outside the training arena at 12 O'Clock noon tomorrow. Oh, and don't eat breakfast". Hana gulped a little, but the trio nodded. With that, he vanished. Hana left, hearing Nari and Sumi bickering on her way down the ladder that lead to the rooftop. Before long, she stood outside the apartment she shared with her brother.
She trudged up the steps, letting out a sad sigh. She gently knocked on the door, and within seconds; her brother had opened it. He stepped back, allowing her to step inside, too. She walked past him, not even saying "Hello" or anything. He raised an eyebrow, curious as to why his sister was acting so strange. "Are you alright?" he asked, following her into the living room. She dropped her cross-body bag onto the couch, then shook her head "no". "Why?" he asked, plopping down on the couch.
"Because it seems like everyone is against me" she sighed "and I'm worried about you being put on a team with Sakura and Naruto". "Don't worry about me" he scoffed "focus on your training and becoming an excellent ninja". "BUT I CAN'T HELP IT YOU'RE MY BROTHER!" She yelled "JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT ME!". He seemed stunned by her outburst, grabbing her wrist before she could run away. She shook her wrist free from his grasp, pouting at him. "Why are you acting so strange, lately?" he questioned "well…since this morning at least".
She sighed deeply, sitting down "I was just trying to be mature around you. You're so mature, Sasuke. I don't want to cry over little things anymore, or get angry when stupid girls follow you around. I want to be mature about it and just shake it off. Now, I'm placed on the same team as a bitch and an annoying idiot like Naruto. I just feel the three of us will never get along because we're all girls. I want to be strong and a great ninja, but with us bickering that could hold all of us back. Most importantly, I want to impress you".
Sasuke was silent for a moment, before he smirked a little and ruffled her hair. Her pout deepened, her onyx eyes meeting his own, before he replied with "Hana. You don't need to change. Being silly is who you are. Crying over little things is who you are. You and I are different, and that's fine. I am very proud of you".
Honestly, Hana hadn't seen that coming. So much so, her eyes began to tear up while they looked into her brother's. "See, you're crying over little things" he chuckled, going to stand up but she pulled him back down and hugged him tightly. It was the first hug they had shared in years, so it was awkward; yet it felt amazing. "Thank you, big brother" she mumbled, her tears staining his blue t-shirt "thank you so much". He gently patted her back, then began to rub it gently "Hana… you're in no way useless, there's no need to thank me. Now, let's get some sleep. I'm guessing you have a test tomorrow, too". She nodded, standing up and rubbing at her wet eyes, before the pair shared one final hug and went their separate ways to bed.
