I don't own Naruto, and I kinda went over board on this chapter I just couldn't stop typing. Hope you enjoy it.
Chapter 5
"Hello my name is Rai, I saw that you three were over here all by yourselves and I wondered why." Rai asked being nice, for her.
"What does it matter to you?" asked Temari.
"Just bored really, and trying to see if you're a threat," Rai answered in the same nice voice.
"Well that depends," Temari answered again. Kankurou was occupied watching the fight and Gaara was being Gaara.
"On whether I'm on the good side of the one-tailed demon?" asked Rai.
"Why don't you just go back?" Gaara asked, he was listening in and was now frustrated, another person was only seeing the monster inside of him.
"Well curiosity is something that rarely stays quiet, but if you want me to leave I'll go. Talk to you later, and don't do anything dumb, you can be good ya know, and what do you know, bugs are really cool, I knew it," Rai simply said as she turned and walked back to Team 7. Gaara just stood there and stared. (Fight between Sound dude and Shino)
"Were you trying to get yourself killed?" Kakashi asked Rai as she came back.
"Come on I could've beat him and he's only a kid," Rai answered.
"So what does that make you?" Kakashi asked.
"More mature than you, Kakashi," answered Asuma as he laughed.
"You make it sound like that should give her points Asuma," Kakashi shot back with a smile.
"It does in my book," Sasuke and Naruto said at the same time.
"Ha, see Kakashi, I win," Rai said smirking. That's when Ino came, again.
"So where are you from, Rai?" she asked smugly.
"I'm from the Village of the Mist," Rai simply answered.
"Oh, the village that's nothing but murderers?" Ino said all high and mighty again.
"Well that depends on how you see it, because I wasn't born there, and there are some good people there, others just judge them on the reputation on the village, so why don't you just shut your mouth about something you don't know," Rai said with a deathly calm. She didn't like it when people judged her on where she was forced to live, she would kill most of anyone that asked or offended her but hey she was trying to cut back.
"Rai remember calm, it's different here," Kakashi said as he put a hand on her shoulder, which she shrugged off.
"Kakashi, stop treating me like a kid, I haven't been one for a long time, so why don't you leave me alone while I watch this wimp fight," Rai answered as she watched the next fight without saying anything at all. (Kankurou and sound person)
"Seems like she'll be a handful," Asuma said smiling at Kakashi.
"Which one of my kids isn't?" Kakashi asked.
"Well kids will be kids I guess, we can't do much," Asuma answered.
"Nope except work them to the bone while we enjoy the sun," Kakashi said laughing.
"Like that's going to happen while I'm around," Rai said laughing.
"Yeah, well it looks like the fourth battle is going to be chosen so be quiet," Kakashi answered grinning.
"It's Sakura and that Ino girl, well this will be interesting," Rai said then she turned to Sasuke, "Aren't they both like completely and utterly faithfully in love with you?"
"Yeah something like that," Sasuke answered, a little embarrassed.
"Come on Sasuke everyone knows that every girl our age is completely in love with you has been like that forever," Naruto said in a teasing voice, kinda regretfully.
"I wouldn't worry about it Naruto, they are just childhood crushes, when they get older and grow out of it they'll be after you and you'll wish is was still like it is now," Rai said smirking.
"Yeah right, let's watch this fight now, ok," Naruto answered grinning widely.
"Oh this is going to be good; these two girls are fighting for the love of the number one bachelor of the Village of the Leaves, Sasuke Uchiha! Who will win Sakura with her brains or Ino with her ability of deceit? It's a question not even I can answer," Rai said in an announcer's voice, making everyone laugh. That's when the entire fight happened and you know what happens anyway….
"Look it's a Sand ninja, that was fast," Rai said as Temari defeated Ten-ten before she could finish her sentence.
"I think I'm scared," Naruto said looking at Temari.
"You know they should sell food here, I mean it's pretty boring just watching," Rai said as she looked at the next fight.
"Well when you think about it Rai, most of the people here would probably throw it up after seeing all the fighting," Sasuke pointed out.
"Yeah, well I still think it's a good idea," Rai said sticking her tongue out at Sasuke.
"Rai, I thought you weren't a kid anymore," Kakashi said grinning.
"Hey, I have my moments," Rai answered.
"Think you guys could be quiet, I'm watching Shikamaru's fight, I wonder if he'll beat that Sound ninja," mussed Naruto as he watched the fight.
"You know these Sound ninja people are pretty weak," Rai pointed out as Shikamaru beat the Sound ninja.
"Yeah but they act really scary so we have to give them points for that," Naruto said.
"Good luck Naruto," Rai said as his name came up for his match.
"Thanks," Naruto said.
"Hey Naruto, don't lose, you know I do want to fight you," Sasuke said as he looked at Naruto.
"Like I can lose," Naruto answered as he jumped down. Rai smiled.
"So Sasuke, how has life been treating you?" Rai asked.
"Better than some, worse than most," Sasuke said.
"We'll I'd say the same thing about Naruto, Gaara over there, and me, so don't feel so alone, okay," Rai simply said as she went to talk to the Sand ninja again.
"Hello my favorite people in the entire world," Rai said as she stood by Temari.
"You know some would question your mental stability because you're over here," Temari answered.
"Yeah, well some would also think that Naruto down there was going to lose, when in fact he will win," Rai answered getting serious.
"Yeah, right, like that loser could win," Kankurou said.
"Yeah, I bet you three will have to at least try to make friends with the people here, and no killing, if Naruto wins," Rai said.
"And if he loses, you have to be our slave forever," Kankurou said.
"Deal," Rai answered shaking all three of their hands, with a little hesitation from Gaara.
BACK WITH TEAM 7
"So what did you do?" Kakashi asked.
"Made a bet," Rai answered.
"What kind of bet?"
"A fool proof one."
"What was the bet Rai," Kakashi demanded. Then Rai explained the deal. Kakashi got mad, and Naruto won.
"Now I got to go collect my prize," Rai said smiling.
"Hey, that's not fair you knew that he would win," Kankurou whined.
"No, we shook now come on so you guys can make some friends," Rai said as she started to walk back to Kakashi, only to find none of the siblings following her.
"Oh, come on they won't bite," Rai said, finding that they still held back she grabbed Gaara's hand and led them to Kakashi and Sasuke.
"Rai, who are your new friends?" Kakashi asked.
"This is Gaara, Temari, and Kankurou, they're Sand ninja," just then Naruto came up and he also met the Sand ninja.
"Now since we're not in preschool anymore, I don't have to tell you guys to be nice to each other and try to make friends do I?" Rai said mocking everyone, earning her a glare….from everyone.
"Hey don't look at me like that," Rai simply said, as she looked at the next fight. It was the one between Neji and Hinata.
"So who do you think is going to win," Sakura asked.
"Hinata's got the heart, but Neji is going to win," Rai said assessing both fighters.
"Hey you don't know that," Naruto said defending Hinata.
"Actually yes I do," Rai answered. And so the battle started and Neji does the mind games on Hinata, which make Rai kinda mad.
"Come on Hinata you can do it!" Naruto yelled, encouraging Hinata.
"Keep trying Hinata, you can do anything," Rai also yelled. But the battle ended as you know it does, with Neji winning.
"Well, Gaara how do you think you're going to do, and who are you going to fight?" Rai asked as Naruto did is I vow thing.
"I know I will win, against who doesn't matter," Gaara simply said.
"Well I don't know, how are you so confident, you kinda remind me of Naruto and Sasuke, they also think they can do anything by themselves," Rai answered.
"Rai why is Naruto so dumb?" Sasuke asked as Naruto vowed to win against Neji.
"That's like asking why the sky is blue, it just is," Rai said smiling, making Sasuke and Kakashi laugh.
"Well, I think he needs to wise up or else he'll regret the next time he says something," Temari said.
"But then he wouldn't be Naruto," Sakura said.
"You have a point there," Sasuke agreed with her, making Sakura happy for the next month.
"I don't know I mean, he can grow up a little but not too much, or else life would just be dull," Sakura added, encouraged by Sasuke agreeing with her last statement.
"Okay, we get it," Rai said getting a little frustrated since Sakura was yet again giving Sasuke all her attention, and plus she was just irritable, everything that had happened today was finally getting to her.
"You okay Rai?" Kakashi asked automatically knowing what was wrong.
"No," Rai answered scornfully. Everyone then looked at her and saw that she was pretty tired and she didn't look too good.
"You want to go to the infirmary?" Kakashi asked gently taking her arm.
"I've already been here for more than half of it, I might as well stay for the ending," Rai answered, calming down.
"Ok, but if you start feeling bad again you tell me ok," Kakashi said as he moved away but continued to observe her, waiting for some indication that she wasn't ok.
"Alright, I'll tell you," Rai answered exhausted.
"Good, don't want you to die after everything you've already done," Kakashi whispered into her ear so no one else could here.
"Sorry for snapping at you Sakura, I'm just really weird," Rai said acknowledging what Kakashi said but not thinking much of it.
"It's ok," Sakura answered, looking at Rai worriedly.
"Hey do you think it's such a good idea for you to still be here, I mean we can tell you how it turns out," Sasuke said to Rai, trying to convince her to go to the infirmary.
"I'll be fine," Rai answered.
"Yeah you guys, leave her alone, she'll be fine," Naruto said addressing everyone.
"Thank you Naruto, I'm fine guys, I've been through worse, ok," Rai said smiling at everyone.
"Yeah, but that was before, now we have to take care of you because believe it or not you're now part of the family," Kakashi said as he patted Rai's shoulder gently.
"Never thought I'd see the day," Rai answered as she fainted into Kakashi's arms.
