Okay, please review. Hope you enjoy.
"It is fine. As I was saying, starting now, Chihiro, Satori, you are now apart of Team 7!"
"I hear someone coming… Taijuu, you should change." said Tomiju worriedly.
"Yeah, yeah, I hear you…" you say, as you hurriedly change into your wolf form. "I will need, a hitai-ate, Third, and so will Chihiro."
The Third Hokage nods as he looks up at the door which had just flown open. A tall man with lopsided silver hair came in. His hitai-ate was slanted so it covered his left eye, and he wore a blue mask. He had a rather bored expression on his face. He wore a green Jounin vest.
"You needed me for something, Hokage-Sama?" he asked, looking at Tomiju and Chihiro, then at you warily.
"Yes, I need you to take Chihiro and Satori to Iruka so they can get their Konoha hitai-ates." said the Third.
"I take it that you two need them? But aren't you a little old to be a Genin?" asked Kakashi to Tomiju.
"She isn't the one who needs the hitai-ate, baka. I am." you growl in your husky voice. Kakashi got a shocked look on his face as you looked him over. He was supposed to be a Jounin, like yourself, but he kind of reminded you of a child. How, you weren't sure.
"Oh! My mistake … So, I take that you are… Taijuu?" he asked, looking at Chihiro.
Chihiro sweat dropped as you said, "Strike two. One more strike, and you're finished…" you changed your sentence at the glare Tomiju was giving you. "…Tch. Fine, Tomiju. Don't let me have fun…"
"Okay… Now that that is out of the way, let us get you some hitai-ates… Taijuu, Chihiro," says Kakashi as he looks at you, and then at Chihiro. He then looks at Tomiju and says, "Don't worry; they'll be fine with me. I won't hurt them too much."
Tomiju looks at him. "It's not them I'm worried about. They can handle themselves just fine… Can I talk to you, in private?"
Kakashi nods before following Tomiju in a corner. You and Chihiro, however, were on the opposite side of the room and you were looking at Chihiro with interest.
"What do you think of your new Sensei, Chihiro? He looks really lazy. I wonder what is underneath that mask of his… it could be fish lips, it could be a kissy face, it could be beaver teeth, or it could be a mutant face underneath it!"
Chihiro had a very, very, grossed out look on her face, and you couldn't help but chuckle in your husky voice. "Wha-What's so funny, Taijuu-neechan?"
You were on your back, your four legs in the air and your tail wagging happily. "The look on your face! I mean, it's priceless!" You get up on your paws. "Could you do me a favor, by the way? When we get our hitai-ates, put mine around my neck, and make sure that it is black. I don't really care for the blue colored ones…"
"Hai, nee-chan!" says Chihiro, saluting you. You sweat dropped.
"… So Kakashi, do you understand why you must keep her a secret? I cannot risk her being caught and killed because of a slip-up." says Tomiju earnestly.
"I understand your concerns, Tomiju-san, but my proposal from before still stands. They will both be safe with me. I'm sure I can control Taijuu." says Kakashi.
"Un… demo, I will still worry about them and your team."
"There is nothing for you to worry about, Tomiju-san."
They both walked over to where you and Chihiro were talking. You both look at them. They nod, and you both nod back, before exiting the room, bidding the Third Hokage good-bye. Out through the big oak doors, Kakashi lead you and Chihiro through the city. The city had a lot of trees, and the people here smiled more often then in other towns and cities.
He led you both into the forest, which was dense enough to be a challenge for young Genins, but wasn't challenging enough for Chuunins or Jounins, or more importantly, you. You preferred to run on the ground, though you could have ran on top of the branches, though not as easily. The idea of falling and breaking of your legs did not appeal to you.
Stupid hypochondriac-ness… you think bitterly. You didn't really like getting sick, much less getting hurt over something stupid. Oh, man, if I see nothing other than trees in this forest I am going to be pissed…
Five minutes later, you three come into a clearing, you get there first, since you are awesome (lol). Actually, you just took a path that had fewer trees in your way, or a shortcut. Chihiro didn't look at all pleased, since a few twigs had gotten in her hair. You pointed that out to her and she replied with an, "Ah!" and elongated her nails and inch so that she could brush out her hair.
Waiting in the clearing were three young Genins. They obviously looked pissed at something.
Sorry that Itachi isn't here... Please review.
