Gah… I'm sorry everyone… I'm so awful at trying to update… DX
I'm so much better on deviant… umm oops? Any who, here's chapter three of You Can Do it if You Really Try….
Hmm.. I should shorten the title…

With that Ash made a hand sign.
"Transformation Jutsu!" with a puff of smoke I was staring at an average height, in shape looking, stormy-eyed, dishwater blond girl that had a tealish streak of hair that fell in her face.
I grinned.
"You always were good at copying jutsus, you catch onto things right away!"
"It's just because I'm a Nozomii," she shrugged "and by the way- can I ask you just how in the heck-" (Ash never actually swore if she could avoid it) "-you put up with this hair in your face?!" the Konoichi was blowing what was my hair out of her face.
"Hey, look anywhere in my family- we all have it. Speaking of 'it' I'm pretty sure my uncle's going for the 'cousin it' look. But before we can get too far into this conversation, I should probably change." With a small puff of smoke, I morphed into my other side.
~~(flashback)~~
"KAJI!"
"Yes, Sensei?"
Said brunette did not look at all pleased with her pupil. The 5 year old girl looked up at her sensei in the silence.
"Is Sensei upset at me? For taking what was supposed to be hers?" The brunette slapped the little girl- not a hard slap, just a "you-better-learn-some-respect" slap.
"Of course not, baka! How was it I could possibly be the next Hasechurokage incarnate?! It's something the chosen girl is born with- so how could it ever have been my place?!" though she said this- even the little girl could tell she was lying about how she felt. "Anyway-" she said with a huff "- that's not why you're here. Your academy sensei has notified me that you wouldn't demonstrate morphing for the other students… why not?" she looked stern.
"… they hate me…" the bleach blond and teal hair fell into her face as the 5year old bowed her head.
"What was that?! Speak up girl!!"
"The other kids hate me! They have me morph then hit me with rocks and twigs and call me a monster and say one day I'll become a demon and destroy the village!" The 5 year old was on the verge of tears, but did not let them past the boundary of her eyelids as her father taught her.
The brunette became furious at this- but not because the other children had hurt her pupil. "How can you even think that?! Don't listen to those morons! Have I taught you nothing of your history?!" Little Kaji sniveled as she looked her Sensei in the eye. The girl's eyes had flashed to a piercing, liquid amber. Unphased- the brunette continued "Recite the history of the Hofukus and Hasechurokage!" The little girl sighed and did as her sensei said.
"Back in the days the villages were just starting, no one had the title of '-kage' because it solely belonged to the great dragons of the East. As years went on – the humans gained power and grew in number and the dragons began to die off- giving stronger clans the chance to steal away the dragons' special powers. Examples of these families are the Uchihas and Hyuugas. Eventually there was only one dragon left, the great wind, Hasechurokage. Afraid she would be killed for her power- she changed into a woman and hid from humans in plain sight. Even she grew old though, and on the day she was to die- she ran into the forest. Losing her strength- she was unable to hold her human form and morphed back this is when the great Hofuku Tama found her. The Hofukus were not respected at the time and Tama- being strong of mind, not of body- figured a way to make the Hofuku name known. He made a pact with the dying dragon. Kage-sama would give Tama-sama her strength and powers- in return Kage-sama would be reborn in each generation through a Hofuku Konoichi. And so it was done.
"Now whenever Kage-sama is reborn she takes a different form of dragon- each fitting the konoichi's personality." The little girl finished and gave her mentor a look of disdain.
"What doesn't it state you will be?" the brunette said a little bit more patiently.
"A demon or monster." The little girl felt a little bit better.
"Damn right."
The little girl looked at the brunette.
"Thank you, Nee-san." The brunette flinched.
"Shut up… I'm no family of yours… not anymore." The brunette looked distant for a few moments. "Now, show me your morph."
That being said, Kaji did as she was told.
~~(end flashback)~~
"You know Ka-chan? I really like your dragon form. I know I've told you that every other time you do it, but still. It doesn't even look like a full dragon- more like a dog/dragon crossbreed- which is even cooler." Ash was petting the fur on my paw.
*crack!*
My ears pricked. Ash stood still and looked at me.
He's cooomiiiing….
Ash nodded and we dashed to opposite sides of the clearing.
Kakashi walked leisurely into the open space. – well it wasn't quite leisurely, more like a senses-strained-waaaaay-ahead-of-me sort of walk. (*ahem* anyways…)
He stepped on the spot we had been standing on only minutes ago- when Ash sprung out of the bushes with swords flying- the plan had been put into action.
Kakashi was obviously a more skilled fighter- but with me sending silent Jutsus in hiding- he didn't have a clue.
After Ash retreated a few steps, I saw an opening and flew at the bells while Ash laid a sound-wave jutsu on him. With a bell in my teeth I whipped around, picked up Ash, and ran to the main clearing.
I set her down when we get there and we both changed back. I held up the bell in front of me, and gave it a shake.
*kling-ring*
I laughed a little- and Ash did too.
"Man- He didn't see that coming!" Ash giggled
"Yeah! And on top of it- I'm not going to be transferred!"
"Transferred? Why?" she looked a scared and a little more than confused.
"We have a team of four- so someone's either going back to the Academy- or getting transferred to Suna."
"Really? But my teams four people and nobody got demoted or transferred or anything…"
"Really?" I sounded relieved.
"Yeah!" she nodded.
"But your team's full of losers that need everyone else to depend on. Also- Kakashi never said anything about working with someone else- especially from another team. Your getting sent away for sure, Hofuku."

Whoo! Exhilarating wasn't it?!
No? yeah.. I pretty much guessed that… (I'm no Akiraka.. that's for sure!)
