Disclaimer- I don't own Naruto. I just own this story and the twins.
-Recap-
"Today we will be going on a very...how do I say this? We're going on a very...interesting mission." Kakashi said with a smirk.
Everyone looked up. Naruto smiled for a second, but it was a short-lived smile.
Something told this team that they weren't going to enjoy this mission.
Nope. Not one bit.

And now without a further wait, chapter 2!
Chapter 2: The Leaders Of The Mission
The wind blew through (hey that rhymed!) the trees, causing them to sway back and forth calmly.
The three genins stood in the middle of a clear area in the forest. Neither one of the students knew what to expect. They all just stood waiting for their always late jounin sensei to come back with something.
The word 'something' was beginning to be a much hated word, seeing as how their sensei used the word in a very suspicious manner.
He had told them to wait in the forest until he got back with something.
"Grr, how do we always get stuck waiting!" Naruto said agitated by the fact that he was stuck waiting...again.
"Because we're easy to fool into waiting..." Sasuke said. He too was getting sick of always waiting.
Sakura sighed heavily. "But I guess it's all we can do until he gets back, isn't it?"
There was silence for a moment. Then a sigh could be heard from each team member all at once.
--------Half An Hour Later--------
"Hey everybody, I'm back!" another puff of smoke, with the same late jounin in the middle appeared.
No answers...
"Umm, okay?" Kakashi paused for a moment. Are they all asleep or something?
Kakashi looked around. He finally noticed that leaned against three different trees were three peacefully dreaming genins, each one with a different expression on their face.
At the far left was a little blonde boy. He was lying down with the cutest little smile plastered on his face. If you looked closely, you could see he was drooling.
Next tree down had a pink haired girl resting on its trunk. She was smiling very happily. It was kind of strange but if you looked closely enough, you could see spots of pink color on her cheeks.
The next tree had a totally different vibe coming from the person leaning on it. It was a boy with a very serious gesture. His arms crossed, part of his hair was in his face, and his body was as stiff as a rock. But I guess you could say it was quite normal for him to look this way.
Kakashi sighed. Two of them should be easy to wake up but the other one...oh well. It's worth a try.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
(Ok...just a warning. I'm not so swell when it comes to parts like this so bare with me for a while! )
A small groan could be heard in the silent forest. Sasuke opened his eyes and looked around. The bright light of the afternoon sun practically blinded his eyes but he squinted a little in order to see better.
It was quiet. Eerily quiet. Especially when you thought about how the location was in the forest and that Naruto was there. Well...at least he was there a second ago.
Sasuke got up from his spot by the trees and walked around. To his surprise, nobody was there.
Where did everyone go? Did they already leave on the mission? No, they couldn't have. They wouldn't. Would they?
Sasuke walked faster through the trees but he still saw no one.
"Sakura? Naruto?" Sasuke tried calling their names out, but still no answer.
Sasuke jumped from tree to tree looking through every open area that his teammates could be standing in.
Suddenly, Sasuke came to a full stop when he heard something. He looked around, waiting for something to happen, but nothing...for a moment at least.
"Sasuke." A voice came through the trees.
Sasuke quickly turned in the direction of the voice. He could feel someone there. But wherever they were, they had a pretty good hiding spot.
"I have something I need to do, Sasuke, and you're going to help." The voice came again.
"What makes you think I'll agree?" Sasuke said still trying to track the person's location.
"Because you don't have a choice." The voice was getting closer.
Sasuke was silent. He was too lost in thought for words. Hold on a sec. I know that voice. It sounds like...
"Kakashi-sensei?" Sasuke's final thought ended up being said out loud.
"Bingo." Suddenly, a cloud of smoke appeared and Kakashi stood smiling.
Sasuke was surprised to see Kakashi, but wondered what he meant by what he said a minute ago.
"As I said before, I have things to do and you're going to help." Kakashi said again.
"Like what?" Sasuke said questioningly.
Kakashi just laughed. "Oh don't worry. It doesn't affect you at all. Now go get Sakura and I'll go get Naruto."
"No." Something didn't feel right about obeying Kakashi's orders.
Kakashi smiled under his oh-so-annoying mask. (I said it like that because I wish he wouldn't wear that mask. I've seen him without it, even though it wasn't that visible, and I like him even more without it don't you agree?)
"If you don't help me, you'll be going straight back to the academy."
Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "You can't do that. Especially not because of something like that."
"Oh really? You actually believe that?" Kakashi said pulling out a packet of papers titled 'Genin Level Academy Returners Packet.'
He can't be serious...can he? Wait, what if he can do it? Sasuke swallowed hard. He hated not knowing what he was getting himself into. But finally let out a heavy sigh and went to find Sakura without saying anything.
After a minute of endless searching, Sasuke finally found Sakura. She was sitting by a tree with her back toward him, her hair blowing in the wind and her gaze as blank as ever. Sasuke inched toward her but stopped when he saw her look up to the sky.
"Sakura-san?" Sasuke called to her. She didn't seem to hear. He tried again.
"Sakura-san? Are you ok?" he tried to reach for her arm, but she finally noticed someone was there and turned her gaze toward Sasuke.
"Oh, hello, Sasuke-kun." Sakura said softly, bringing out her soft smile as she spoke.
Sasuke didn't say anything for a moment. What was he supposed to say? Kakashi's planning something and won't tell me what, but he says he wants us all to come and help him do whatever he's planning?
"Is something wrong, Sasuke-kun?" Sakura said concernedly.
"Hmm? No. Just..."
"Just what?"
"Nothing. We should get going. Kakashi-sensei is waiting for us."
"Oh, ok." Sakura smiled as she rose from her spot on the ground.
That went well, I guess. But something isn't right here. There's like a strange aura coming from this area. Sasuke kept walking, trying to shake off the feeling that something was about to go wrong. Really wrong.
But as hard as Sasuke tried to shake it, the feeling just kept coming back, getting stronger and stronger every time. After a while of attempting to ignore his bad feeling, Sasuke gave up.
"Sasuke-kun, is something wrong?" Sakura asked noticing that Sasuke stopped walking.
Suddenly, three shurikens emerged from the bushes. Sasuke quickly sensed them and dodged them quickly. But when Sasuke turned to see who attacked him, his eyes widened.
Asuma's Cell? What are they doing here? And why did they attack? But wait... Sasuke then counted the number of people there. Only two of the three attacked. So then who's missing? Wait a sec, where's Ino? Sasuke's thinking caused him to lose time to block the next attack because out of the smoke came a familiar face. But as the smoke disappeared, our pink haired friend did as well.
Within the moment of calculation of the previous events, Sasuke could feel himself being slammed against a tree. Although he showed no emotion towards the attack, it still stung for a second.
"Well, well, well. Never would've expected it to be so easy to catch 'The Great Sasuke Uchiha'" the person said as they loosened their grip on Sasuke. The strange part was that the voice was familiar... a little too familiar.
Sasuke snapped out of his 'confusion trance' and looked at his attacker. To his surprise a very familiar blonde kunoichi stood grinning evilly.
"Ino?" Sasuke said before releasing her firm grip on him completely.
"Surprised? I didn't think that happened that often. Oh well, I guess it's just my lucky day!" Ino said smiling. "Anyway, back to work."
Work? Sasuke didn't like the sound of that.
Ino charged at Sasuke with full force and her teammates did as well. A full-fledged attack was coming, but Sasuke was ready with his sharingan.
Shuriken and kunai flew in all directions. Some could be dodged. Some had to be caught or blocked by another weapon. But all this seemed like it wasn't meant to hit Sasuke, but more along the lines of distract him. And that's exactly what they were for.
A shadow emerged from the ground, Sasuke's shadow. Through all the weapon clashing and taijitsu attacks you could barely hear the faint sound of someone say, "Kagemane No Jutsu!"
As hard as Sasuke tried to get away from this attack, time to dodge or block was unfortunately not on his side. The large shadow quickly paralyzed Sasuke, leaving him vulnerable to any other attacks.
I'm so stupid! I let them distract me enough for them to get in a big attack. I was so blind toward something that was right in front of me. Now what? Sasuke furiously scolded himself for not seeing through the trap and tried to think of a way out at the same time. Ok, think Sasuke, think! There's not much time before they make their next move. So how can I get myself out of this?
"It's too late to do anything about it now." Ino said.
"Ino. We got to bring him back to Asuma-sensei soon. Plus, I can't hold him forever so speed it up." Shikamaru said, reminding Ino of the mission they were still on.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Just give me a minute and then he's all yours." Ino said with a smirk.
Oh boy. I didn't like the sound of that. Sasuke was getting a little scared...ok very scared. You never now what's gonna happen when someone says 'give me a minute then he's all yours'.
"So, I've spent years and years going after you, giving you gifts, the whole enchilada. And now it's come to today. The day I get what I want, and all you can do is sit there. Not how I planned it but hey, this way you can't run so it works for me." (Ok, so Ino was getting a little vengeful. Hey after so many rejections wouldn't you go nuts? XD)
Ino inched closer to the immobilized body of our one and only village heartthrob. Sasuke tried to back away, forgetting that he was trapped. There was no escaping this one. All he could do was wait as Ino came closer and closer.
"How's about a good bye kiss? To say goodbye to your old life huh?" Ino said.
Oh no. She...this can't be happening! Frantic thoughts raced through Sasuke's mind. Too scared to even scream or watch Sasuke closed his eyes tight and...
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
A pair of eyes quickly shot open. Sasuke looked around, only to find a strange girl sitting next to him.
"Did she do it?" the girl asked with an excited look on her face.
Sasuke was startled by the sound of her voice but didn't show it. What just happened here?
"She didn't get to, did she?" the girl's face changed to a look of disappointment.
"Kadame, you didn't 'Dream Haunt' again, did you?" said a boy who looked exactly like the girl. It was almost as if they were twins.
"So what if I did?" the girl, whose name was apparently Kadame, said in a mocking voice.
The boy sighed. "Never mind. You're just gonna do it again anyway."
Ok, I'm confused. That was all just a dream? And what do they mean by 'Dream Haunt'? Sasuke thought as the two people in front of him went on with their argument.
"Could someone tell me who these people are!" Naruto said from out of nowhere.
Sasuke looked around once more. He was still in the same place he'd apparently fallen asleep in, just with more people.
Kadame and the other guy stopped fighting when they heard Naruto's 'extremely loud and hard to ignore' question.
Suddenly, Kakashi popped up reading 'Icha Icha Paradise' again. "Guys, calm down and let me explain."
"Well, we're listening." Naruto said, sounding very annoyed.
"Ok then, we'll start by introducing ourselves. Team seven, this is Kadame and Kade. They are going to be the leaders of this mission. As you probably guessed, I will not be joining you on this mission, meaning that Kadame and Kade are going to be like your sensei for a while, understand so far?"
"No." Naruto said simply.
"It means that Kadame and Kade are going to be watching over us on this mission instead of having Kakashi-sensei there." Sakura summarized Kakashi's explanation so that they could continue without it being a repetitive conversation.
"Moving on. Kadame. Kade. This is the team you will be watching over. Over there is Uchiha, Sasuke. A hard-working student, but more independent then the others." Kakashi said pointing to Sasuke.
"Next we have Uz–" Kakashi was interrupted by everyone's favorite loud mouth, Naruto.
"Uzumaki, Naruto's the name and I'm the greatest ninja on this team!" he yelled with pride.
"Right... don't believe the hype, Naruto." Sasuke said. But before another argument could start, Kakashi continued talking while Sasuke and Naruto had a glaring contest.
"Last but not least we have Haruno, Sakura. She too is a hard-working student. Very smart too. Well that's everybody." Kakashi concluded before turning back to his book for a quick moment or two, leaving everyone else to start another conversation.
Team seven observed their new senseis (that even a word?) The two seemed a bit older then them. Kadame wore a red shirt and blue shorts. She had long, sapphire hair that was loose with a hat covering the top and eyes in a maroon color. Her hands were placed in her blue jacket's pockets. Kade was another story. He had on a grey sweatshirt that had the word 'death' written in katana on the back and almost the same blue shorts as Kadame. He had short, dark brown hair and eyes of the same color. His hands were also in his sweatshirt pockets.
They're so weird...I wonder what they're gonna be like when we actually start the mission? Sakura thought after looking over them a second time.
I can tell this is not going to be just a 'for fun' kind of mission. Sasuke thought after doing the same.
Naruto's thoughts had nothing but One of these days I am so going to kill Sasuke... over and over again so we'll just skip his mind.
"So... who's ready to begin the mission?" Kakashi said after like 10 minutes of silence.
Everyone just nodded and stood up, waiting to hear of the mission that they've been waiting to hear about since the sun first came up.
