Second chapter- First day is the WORST day.
Sakura sighed loudly and rubbed her chest, trying to calm down her rapid heart beat.
Kakashi raised a brow, somewhat shocked by her reaction. "do you know them or something?" He asked, taking out a book with the title, "Come, come, paradise".
Sakura slammed her head down on the table four times. She folded her hands across her lap politely sitting there with her head tilted downward so her eyes weren't exposed. "Those two IDIOTS ran into me on my
HERE and started HARRASSING me." each time she emphasized her voice, her nails would dig into her lap.
"Ah, well, there aren't many cute girls in the village," Kakashi said, turning the page in his book. He made no eye contact with her, just like Sasuke. She sighed loudly. The two bumbling idiots were going to be her partners for QUITE a while. This was going to be a long day.
Kakashi closed his book at the sound of approaching foot steps
"Sorry we're late, Kakashi- Sensei…" a voice spoke. Sakura knew it was Naruto before she had even looked.
"Yeah, the LOSER stalled us," Sasuke said, rolling his eyes as usual.
"I'M NOT A LOSER!" Naruto pulled up the right sleeve of his orange outfit as though he were preparing for a fight.
Sakura stood up. "WOULD YOU TWO SHUT UP!?!"
Kakashi now chucked. Their behavior is going to get them in a lot of disagreements. This group…hmm…a bunch of unique individuals…let's see if they can manage to last with me as their sensei.
Instead of interrupting such a wonderful argument, Kakashi listened to Sakura continuing to call Naruto immature and Sasuke a jerk. After what seemed like an eternity, Kakashi stood up and began to walk away. Sakura immediately stopped talking with the two knuckleheads and walked after her new sensei.
"Why are you walking away?" She walked to his right, pressing her two index fingers together.
"Because you three are obviously not ready to be genin," he didn't show compassion in his voice. He was dead serious. He sighed. "You saw on that scroll I sent you that I requested you work together and follow my commands. Doing what you three do on a mission could get a person killed. They say your first impression is your worst, but yours is just awful."
She stopped and stood there, shocked by what he had just said to her. Naruto and Sasuke hadn't even noticed Kakashi and Sakura's absences for at least 5 minutes. Sasuke stopped the argument with his wonderful catchphrase, "Loser."
Sakura bowed. "I'm sorry, sensei. I didn't mean to- I'm having a rough first day. I haven't adjusted yet…"
Kakashi scratched his head, placing his book back into his case when Naruto ran up screaming.
"HEY! DON'T IGNORE ME LIKE THAT SASUKE!" Naruto yelled, making a somewhat childish stance.
Kakashi rolled his eyes and scratched the back of the right side of his head with the tip of a kunai gingerly. He looked at each of his students and walked away, they each followed him like puppies.
After about five or ten minutes ( none of them had actually counted) they were near the hokage monuments.
"Now…Sakura is new. I want everyone to say something about themselves. Likes, Dislikes, and Dreams…" Kakashi yawned and sat down cross legged. "I'll start. My name is Hatake Kakashi. I like…many things…I dislike…well…not many things…and…my dreams…well…you don't need to know about them." He chuckled. He pointed his finger at Sasuke. It was his turn to talk about himself and Sakura was sure he was going to say he was the avowed rival of Naruto and such.
"My name…is Uchiha Sasuke. My likes and dislikes are of little importance. Dreaming is not what I do. What I am aiming for will be a reality. I am out to kill a certain man because," he had his fingers in his mouth and he was serious, despite what Sakura had seen earlier, "he destroyed my clan. I will avenge my clan. I will restore my clan…even if it's the last thing I do…"
Sakura blinked twice, somewhat surprised at the boy's sudden change in attitude. He's kinda…cute… She slapped herself across the face. SASUKE? CUTE? The mordacity! Without even realizing it, she and the attention of Sasuke, Naruto, AND Kakashi. She giggled nervously and scratched the back of her head.
"Uh…Naruto…it's your turn to talk…" Kakashi kept his eyes on Sakura for a few seconds and then looked towards Naruto.
"My name is Uzumaki Naruto. I like ramen and red-bean soup. I don't like it when the Ramen shop is closed and - despite what everyone says- I'm gonna be the next Hokage!" The boy stood up and grinned, throwing his fist into the air. Had anyone else seen this, they might've thought he was crazy, but he just had an ambition. A strong ambition.
Kakashi didn't change his facial expression (Well, you couldn't really tell how he was feeling unless you looked at his eyes because the mask over his mouth and right eye) but in reality he felt somewhat proud of Naruto. He admired his ambition because he was the class clown and he wanted something that was considered serious. Childhood doesn't tell who you are an adult, I suppose. Naruto is a perfect example.
Next was Sakura. Sakura yawned before she began to speak. "My name…Is Haruno Sakura and yawn I just moved to Konohagakure…I…um…I like…yawn and I dislike yawn." How the hell did she get so tired? "I just want to make my parents proud of me." She yawned again.
Apparently, yawning was contagious because Kakashi yawned right afterwards before he began to speak "Tomorrow, we're going to meet here and you will all face a challenge. Your very first challenge. Tomorrow is the day you're going to need every single weapon you have. If you fail you go back to the academy. Dismissed."
