Naruto shifts uncomfortably, looking between an equally uncomfortable Sakura, an irritably brooding Sasuke, and a thoroughly absorbed Kakashi that apparently deems his Icha Icha Paradise novel to be far more interesting than his new charges.

It's been a few minutes since the rest of the groups met up with their managers and cleared the room and the silence is starting to get on Naruto's nerves.

"Um… Mr. Kakashi?"

No response.

"Mr. Kakashi?"

Still nothing.

"KAKASHI!!" Naruto roars in an impressive imitation of the president.

He finally looks up. "Oh, hey guys, what's up?"

Sakura's irritation quickly drops and she puts on a sweet smile.

"We're supposed to be having a band meeting and getting to know each other."

"Oh, okay. Well what are you waiting for? Introduce yourselves. You know the drill. Name, age, likes, dislikes, hobbies, et cetera…."

"Um… maybe you could introduce yourself first Mr. Kakashi?" She continues hesitantly.

"Oh… My name is Hatake Kakashi. I have no desire to tell you about my likes and dislikes." He says airily. "Dreams for the future…? Well… I have a lot of hobbies."

That doesn't even tell us anything…

"Alright, now you guys. Starting with you." He gestures to Naruto.

Naruto steps forward excitedly.

"The name is Naruto Uzumaki! I'm 18 years old! I like cup ramen and when Iruka takes me out for ramen! I dislike having to wait for 3 minutes while my ramen cooks!" In his excitement he completely misses the condescending looks and continues undeterred. "My dream to one day become the president of Burning Leaf Records!"

The condescending looks turn disbelieving and for a second, Kakashi actually looks vaguely interested…

"And for hobbies… playing pranks are pretty fun I guess!"

…but it quickly passes.

"Fascinating." Kakashi says blandly and looks to Sasuke. "Next?"

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I dislike pretty much everything and like very little." He says darkly. "I wouldn't call it a dream so much as an ambition, but… I will one day surpass my brother and avenge my parent's death."

Sakura swoons, Naruto looks nervous, and Kakashi looks tempted to sigh, but Sasuke is apathetic to it all, gazing out the window morosely.

"Okay then, and you?" Kakashi says, looking to Sakura.

"I'm Sakura Haruno and I like …well," Sakura flusters, glancing not quite surreptitiously towards Sasuke. "My dream… um…" Another glance. "I don't like immature morons." She says very clearly, looking straight towards Naruto before looking back towards Sasuke and swooning again. "My hobbies…" She flusters.

Naruto looks devastated and Kakashi actually does sigh this time.

"Alright, I think that's quite enough of that." Kakashi says tiredly. "Meet me outside the rehearsal studio at noon tomorrow and we'll figure out what to do with you guys. Don't be late."

And with that he exits briskly, once again absorbed in his book.

AN: So pretty much all of their introductions are taken from canon, mostly because I'm not really sure if I have enough of a feel for the characters yet to do otherwise.
