The Next Day/ Meet the teammates/Kaori's POV:

"Alright!" Our Jounin instructor announced. "Now that we're all here, let's introduce ourselves, shall we?" Team Nine looked up at him blankly. He finally decided on something to do during our last five minutes of awkward silence.

Another minute went by.

"Ano…" I began nervously, a bit lonely since I didn't know anyone here. Makoto-san and Tsubasa-san seemed to know each other already, so they weren't in as much discomfort as I was. Nobody knew our sensei. "W-What do you want us to say, sensei?"

The jounin smiled pleasantly. "Oh, whatever comes up in your mind. Such as your name, likes, dislikes, goals, the usual!"

Us: "…"

The Jounin sighed, "I guess I'm first then… So my name is Shiroyogan Hikaru, you can all just call me Hikaru-sensei. Umm, I just recently became a jounin instructor, so this is my first time teaching a genin squad, and I'm really excited. I like training, missions, and sour foods-- my favorite fruit is a lemon if anyone wants any ideas for Christmas presents or anything!!"

"…"

He coughed, regaining composure. "Erm, things I don't like include: sweets, horror movies, scary people…" Hikaru-sensei gave a slight shudder. "And those kinds of things… my goal right now is to make sure you guys all grow up to be strong, capable ninjas, who'll appreciate my efforts and talk nonstop about how much of an inspiration I was when you're all grown up and become important people. And that's all I'll say. Next!"

Again, no one said anything and we could feel Hikaru-sensei's self-esteem level dropping dangerously low during our moment of silence. Adding on to that, there was Makoto-san muttering faintly about wanting new teams.

With that, Hikaru-sensei dropped to the ground as if a ton of bricks fell on him, boo-hooing dramatically.

'This is really our Jounin instructor?'

I felt sorry for him, so I cleared my throat. "A-Ah, umm… Hi… Er, my name's Amakusu Kaori if any of you didn't know..."

At this, Tsubasa-san immediately sat up, more attentive to me either because: A. I was an Amakusu, which was rare in Konoha- or anywhere else in the world for that matter.

Or B. I was a girl.

Hmm…

"Um, I like to train, dance, sleep, play with my friends, sometimes I eat sweet odango's…" Hikaru-sensei gave another shudder. I paused. "Uh, umm, I-I don't like… bullies, or anyone who is rude for no real reason, I also dislike cheaters. Mm, my goal is to pretty much be stronger and someday find my clan's compound and prove myself to them… ah, th-that's it."

"That's good Kaori-chan! Alright, who's next?" Hikaru-sensei cheered. Once again, there was no reply. I saw his eyebrow twitch, and he let out a sigh. "You guys are really…" and then he, I don't know how to say this… he changed.

"YOU LITTLE WHORES! TO THINK I'D HAVE TO DEAL WITH SMARTASSES LIKE YOU IS MAKING ME FUCKING PISSED! YOU THINK I WANT TO DO THIS? IF YOU LITTLE SHITS DON'T DO WHAT I SAY IN THE NEXT TEN SECONDS, I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU AND HACK YOU INTO ONE HUNDRED NINETY-FUCKING-EIGHT PIECES, DAMN IT ALL!!!"

That got their attention. I stared. Wasn't he the one who said he didn't like scary and short-tempered people?

Tsubasa-san spoke up without hesitation. "I'm Toriwa Tsubasa! I like birds, flying, training, girls, anything easy to swallow, and my little sister. I hate poachers, meat, bird-hunters, girls who don't like me, and that chicken house down the lane." He scratched his head nervously. "And in the future, I want to be really strong, I guess. Maybe marriage too." He rushed out, afraid of sensei, yet still able to maintain his calm demeanor to some extent.

Hikaru-sensei smiled, pleased. "Thank you, Toriwa-kun. Ah, can we hear from you now?" He asked, motioning for Majikan-san to start.

She sighed, and began in an almost emotionless and monotone voice. "Majikan Makoto. I like training and anything that will make me stronger. I hate unnecessary noise, guys who dye their hair just to get attention from girls-"

At this, Tsubasa interrupted angrily. "How many times do I have to tell you? This is freakin' natural!" Somehow guessing that she was referring to him, for the roots of his spiked up hair were black and the tips were a golden powdery brown. "It's not my fault I was born this way! What about sensei? He has blue hair!"

No one was listening to Hikaru-sensei talking about his own mussed up blue hair as the other two kept bickering. I touched my own braided hair, making sure it was still the thin, natural, black it was.

Makoto-san rolled her eyes in an apathetic manner. Her own short, almost boy-ish hair was brown and curly. "-- And I hate people who kill and sacrifice innocent people for their own personal gain. So my goal is to kill a certain person who fits that description for he ruined my life."

There was an unnerving silence, as we stared at her in surprise. Hikaru-sensei was the one who finally broke the awkward silence. "Ahem! Uhh, thank you, Makoto-chan. I feel as if I learned a few of new things about you."

"Damn straight." I muttered, surprised that I said it in unison with Tsubasa-san. He looked up at me, grinning… and scooted closer.

"Okay." Hikaru-sensei announced. "Tomorrow, we will start a mission…" I grinned. 'Finally! The best part!'

"It's a training exam, just to test you guys if you should really be in a genin squad, cause out of the 27 students who passed the exam, only 9 or 12 will become true Genin. This exam determines that- Oops! I wasn't supposed to tell you that!" Hikaru-sensei's eyes went wide.

We felt sweat drops slide down our heads, and sighed. 'Another exam?'

"ARGH!" He slapped his forehead in self-annoyance. "Just forget what I said, and come to Team Nine training grounds, okay?"

"Hai…

\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Next Day/Team 9 training grounds/Kaori's POV:

I paced around our training ground impatiently, which was somewhere in the middle of a forest section, simultaneously throwing stones at a few target posts just for the heck of it. Tsubasa watched my movements lazily from under a tree.

'Miss, bulls-eye, border, bulls-eye, miss, bulls-eye, close, oops missed again, border, bulls-eye…' This went on for about another ten minutes until I got tired.

"Ne Tsubasa-san, where do you think Hikaru-sensei and Makoto-san are?" I asked, moving to sit next to him. Sensei was the one who told us to come at six in the morning yet he wasn't here yet and Makoto-san was still absent. I sat down with a sigh.

"Hmm… I don't know, but I do wonder what our task is." Tsubasa said, and made a small smile. I barely responded, too caught up in my thoughts to give much notice to his presence.

"Ne, Kaori-chan! This is a good time to get to know each other, don't you think? Like, bonding! I mean you're really cute. We can even go on a date later on if we have time! Doesn't that sound like fun?"

"Eh? Ah, y-yeah, I guess." I replied and smiled sheepishly. I can't believe it, I was thinking about Kiba this whole time. Something happened, I don't know what it was exactly, but now I like him even MORE. How great is that?

Tsubasa seemed to read my mind, and gave a sly smile. "What were you thinking about, Kaori-chan? Your boyfriend? Does that mean you're already taken. Damn. Well, who is he?" He asked.

I turned beet red. "N-no! I don't know what you're talking about, Toriwa-san!"

"Oh? So it's true?" He grinned. "Who is it? I promise I won't tell. So how about it, ne? I can just fight him for you!"

"I'm not lying!" I glared, biting my lip as I tried to will him to believe.

We stared each other down for about two heartbeats before he suddenly looked away and gave a sigh in defeat, all the while covering his face, looking embarrassed that he lost so quickly, it seemed. "Fine. I don't need two girls hating me. But I'll remember this."

I let out a sigh and smiled, "Ah, thank you then!"

He nodded, still looking in the distance.

I smiled unsurely.

Pause.

"So, you're an Amakusu, huh?" He asked innocently, I gave him a curious look. "You know, you're the first I've ever seen, cause they have that super secret compound in the middle of nowhere. I heard you can heal yourself and do those cool chakra thingies. You must be really strong, Kaori-chan!"

"What?! N-no! I'm not that strong." I stammered, blushing again at the compliments that were just rolling off his tongue. I didn't like where this conversation was going either; it was too focused on… me. Not a very comfortable topic.

Unlike other people who would be too open to talk about themselves (AHEM! AHEM! WHEEZE! COUGH! KIBA! Hqregpvjrhgp-CHOO!). I, however, I'm quite proud of my humility, which isn't very modest, nor does that make sense but whatever, either way I don't like to talk about myself.

"B-But, Tsubasa-kun! You're from the Toriwa clan! That's amazing! How you can easily communicate with birds and all that!"

He grinned. "You think so, Kaori-chan?" I nodded, smiling sweetly.

He kept staring. I turned away, deciding to change the topic again. "So how do you know Makoto-san so well?"

He scowled. "Oh, we used to be friends until she started getting depressing to be around. Well, let's just say we're not that close anymore." I gave him a puzzled look. I started to open my mouth, but closed it.

"So, you people 'bond' by talking about me, huh?" Tsubasa and I looked up to see Makoto-san staring blankly at us.

I stood up, frantic. "N-no, it's nothing like that. I'm sorry if I upset you…!"

She rolled her eyes, "Whatever."

"Oi… She was trying to apologize to you and you just ignore her? What is wrong with you're attitude?" Tsubasa accused darkly. Makoto didn't even bother to answer as she leaned against a tree to the opposite of us.

"Ah, it's okay! I don't have anything against it. Honest." I assured him, not wanting early disbandment. "S-So! Tell us about yourself Makoto-san!"

She gave me a blank look. "What do you want me to say?"

"Whatever you want, I guess…"

She yawned. "I don't really care."

"You already told us that…" Tsubasa retorted rudely.

No response.

"Y-yo!" Hikaru-sensei finally came up to us, gasping profusely. "I'm sorry I'm late! There was a bit of trouble that came up!"

"Daijobu, sensei!" I assured, "We're glad you're okay-"

"I'm not okay!" He shouted, bawling. "I was so scared! WAAAAH!!"

"A-ah…?"

He stretched, having recovered just as quickly as he broke down. "Okay, now that we're all here, let's start our survival mission!" He grinned.

He started to explain the details. "Okay, so on my way here, I put a special talisman… key… thingy… I put them on two bears. You have to find the bears and try to take at least one talisman off without hurting them. Don't worry, these ones are easy to spot, they're white… No, they are not polar bears!" He gasped in obvious exasperation at our questioning looks. "Oh, and they're keys to these three boxes. I'll be holding onto these boxes, so you'll have to fight me with all you've got up until 12. Whoever does not open a box by then will fail and be sent back to the academy."

I gulped, there was a lot on stake.

"Okay, now START~!"

We all jumped into the forest in search of the bears that held the key to the box and our future. I sighed. 'Corny.'

\-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Later/10:00am/Survival Mission/Kaori's POV:

"Heh- don't worry, Mr. Bear! I still think you little brutes are cute!" I panted, licking my dry lips in excitement as I faced the snowy white bear with an excited grin.

The bear… said nothing of course, but it was panting a bit from our little hassle. Sensei said he didn't want us to hurt the evil beast, which was difficult since I had a lot of pain inflicting moves, so my plan so far was to wear it down.

… But I was starting to get tired.

Man, I should've thought through this plan a bit better.

I paused as I racked through my brain for an efficient strategy. 'Would sensei be okay if I hurt it and then heal it?" I looked at the stone talisman… key… thing that was hanging from its neck. 'Yeah… That wouldn't be so bad, right?'

"No, that's wrong! That's like cheating! Don't do it, Kaori!" I scolded fiercely. The bear cocked its head. 'Don't look at me like I'm the weirdo, you little polar bear-wannabe.'

"Alright bear! After this, you're going to wish you didn't put up such an annoying fight in the first place." I grinned and nibbled off a piece of a soldier pill, feeling my energy and chakra restoring. "But you better not take too long. 'Cause I have a time limit and Kaori-chan will get very mad if you make her use up all of her soldier pills."

I jumped. Its tiny eyes followed me as I leaped around it from tree to tree, it didn't notice that it was looking at a bunshin that was hopping around him, and not little ole' me, who was crawling behind his back waiting for an opportune moment to untie the ornament that was hanging from its big furry neck.

"Oof! Ow!"

It seemed I spoke too soon. That was a smart little critter. Superb acting. Of course an animal could tell the difference from a clone by smell. And I learned it the stupid way! How could I forget something like that after dealing with Kiba and Akamaru?

'Think! Think of something, Kaori!' I analyzed the bear as it started to crawl past a thick tree. I felt an idea pop out and took out a couple kunais and shurikens that were connected to chakra strings.

I gritted my teeth. "Let's hope this works." And threw each of them at a tree as I jumped around it. Tying it against the tree. After a few minutes, the bear was trapped. Too tired to move. It stopped struggling before making the most pitiful sound I've ever heard.

I felt guilty. "Aww! I'm sorry Kuma-san! Don't worry, once I take off your little key, I'll let you go, okay?"

But still, if I knew it was going to be that easy that I would've thought of this sooner. God, I'm such an idiot.

The bear did nothing as I stroked its soft fur; I gently tugged the ornament from his neck and put it safely inside my weapon pouch. I took out a kunai and as I got ready to leap away from it, cut the ropes free. But there was no need for me to jump, as the creature didn't even try to attack me.

The bear grinned and said. "Well, that was a fun fight! I hope I get to spar with you some other time!" and bowed. Yes, he spoke and yes, he bowed. Unsure, I bowed back and watched it poof away into nothingness. It was a summon, probably Hikaru-sensei's.

'Did that bear just…? How did it… Didn't he just… I'm pretty sure it… what…?'

"What…?"

I shook it off, and looked up at the sun, or attempted to. Stupid fireball hurts my eyes. 'It's already 10:30, I've got to hurry.' I ran off as fast as I could to the meeting place where sensei said he would be.

After running for a while, I heard the sounds of kunai clashing and the struggles of a fight. I hid under a bush and crawled over to the noise. There in plain sight, was sensei, Tsubasa-san, and Makoto-san. All were fighting hard against each other. 'Please don't tell me I'm the last one!'

I am.

I stared at the brawl before me. Tsubasa and Makoto were incredible fighters, undeniably making me the weakest of the team. Their battle was just unbelievable.

Tsubasa was blowing out coded whistles between a few birds, which were attacking several shadow clones of sensei, and all were in synch according to Tsubasa's commands as he flew around sensei making sharp nimble jabs at the young man. Makoto was most likely fighting the original in between snaps at Tsubasa-kun to leave her alone. She made a few hand seals and her speed suddenly increased by several seconds, but even with her impossible speed she was still blocked many times by our instructor.

Both Tsubasa and Makoto had potential to take down sensei. Yet they were making no progress. What was going on?

I shrugged it off and waited until sensei's whole back was facing away me, I set up a few booby traps for him. I waited, and felt a grin when I got the result that I was hoping for. Lucky!

While dodging Makoto and Tsubasa's attacks, Sensei triggered the trap and a whole set of kunai and shurikens went flying towards him, meeting their mark. 'Yes!' I thought triumphantly as I crawled closer to the battleground. Several poofs followed.

Poof! Sensei disappeared.

Poof! There was a kawarimi in his place.

"Poof!" I heard something behind me. I made a pivot and gasped when I saw Hikaru-sensei smirking at me. "What took you so long Kaori? Well, let's see what you've got!" I jumped away from him and into the battle scene, no sense in hiding now that I'm found. I was about to blast him with my jutsu when he made his own seals, ones that I had never before seen.

"Ninpo: Mienaku Akarumi no jutsu!"

And then from his whole body came this dazzling light that spread throughout the forest, filling everything with it. Even though my eyes were clenched shut, flecks of light still managed to seep through, blinding me.

When the glow finally subsided, I stood there. Feeling scared when I still couldn't see.

Where was everyone? Had they left? Did they see the light too? I wandered about the clearing with my arms out stretched and eyes wide open, I think. "Guys? Are you okay?" I asked unsurely.

I was blind.

I placed my hands over my eyes, sending healing chakra through the lids of my eyes, desperate to see. 'I can't be blind. I just can't.'

After a few more moments of this, I felt my vision returning, the damage wasn't so serious and my body was already mending my overwhelmed cornea and nerve passages, my pupils were already beginning to dilate, there were still some bright spots impairing my vision but it wasn't so bad that I couldn't see that my other teammates were stunned as well.

"Hey, don't worry, I can see now!" I cringed when the light of the sun reflected off their headbands, blinding me again for a moment. "Hold on! I'll heal you in a mo-… YAAAAA! Too bright! Too bright! Turn around!"

--Later--

"Ah! Kaori-chan! You're here!" Tsubasa realized. Now that everyone had gained his or her eyesight, we decided to take a moment to rest our strained eyes. A swallow cooed at his side.

I gave him a look. "Ah, this is Suzumaru! I guess you can say he's sort of my familiar and favorite swallow summon, but don't tell the other birds." A few chirps came out of the bird. "Oh, he's saying Yoroshiku!"

I patted his tiny head (Suzumaru's, not Tsubasa's) with a finger and smiled. "He's adorable! Ah, but why didn't I see him earlier?"

"Oh, Suzumaru's super lazy. He was sleeping earlier and I forgot about him- Hey, ow! Stop that!" The bird paused in its revenge. The owner continued, rubbing his newly received peck marks. "But now that we're fighting, he's wide-awake." He explained. "Violent little bru- Oi! That hurts!" I grinned.

I glanced over at Makoto-san. I was surprised that spinning in her gray eyes was a block of color, that moved in likeness to submarine sonar. It whirled like a clock inside her iris with the pupils as its center.

"Is that your…" I started, pointing to her eyes.

"Yeah, it's the Bunsegan. But it's only in its early stages."

I stared dumbly; the rotators would change colors according to her mood; that was the first stage of the Bunsegan. Once the owner is fully able to control it, the triangle would ripple in one solid color. I mean if you were fighting an enemy, it'd kind of be a giveaway. Just now Makoto's eyes changed into a dull orange. I guess that's when she's thinking.

"Toriwa, Amakusu, come over here." Makoto commanded.

Puzzled, we all huddled around her. "Okay, so far we're getting nowhere by fighting individually. If we keep this up, there won't be any time left." We nodded. "We have to work together on this one and fight sensei as a team. Are you guys with me? Because I am NOT going to let myself get sent back to the academy."

"Oh em gee! THE great Majikan Makoto, female sensation, is going to actually WORK with us? Oh my lord, I must be dreaming! Somebody pinch me!" Tsubasa squealed sarcastically, ignoring Suzumaru's warnings.

Makoto glared, her eyes now had fiery red sections whirling at an unbelievably fast rate.

Thump.

"Oww! I said pinch not punch! But seriously, what are you up to? You'd never want to work with others, especially me!" He growled, rubbing his throbbing head.

Makoto rolled her eyes. "I'm trying to pass here, and I admit that I can't do it alone. So are you guys going to work with me or not?"

Tsubasa was about to make an angry retort, but I interrupted. "Okay. After all, we are a team. We've got to learn to work together once we pass." Tsubasa stared at me, looking betrayed. I gave him an apologetic look. "We can't do it alone either, Tsubasa-kun."

I'm pretty sure I saw the beginnings of a smile on Makoto-san, but it was soon gone. She instead nodded. "Thanks, Amakusu."

"But." I added, "You have to call me Kaori!"

"…" She blinked. "I'll think about it." And began her trek towards sensei. I paused to sulk, but soon exhaled and followed.

We all leaped, and quickly found Hikaru-sensei; he was sleeping on a rock in a manner so lazy that it could piss anyone off. He blinked and looked up at us. "Ah, you're here." He yawned, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "Did my jutsu wear off that quickly? Damn, I thought I could sleep just a little bit longer too…"

"Ah! Sensei!" Tsubasa warned. "You better wipe that carefree smirk off your face, cause we're gonna work together and do whatever it takes for us to get those boxes!" He smirked.

"Shh!" I elbowed him, but it was too late. Sensei raised a brow. "Oh really? Guess I have no choice then." He cracked his knuckles.

"Look what you did now, bird-brain." Makoto glared at Tsubasa, her eyes were spinning red again. Tsubasa returned her glare coolly.

Sensei stood up, we got into fighting stance… he slowly rummaged around in his pocket. 'What weapon is he going to pull out?' I thought panicked.

"Here ya go." Sensei yawned and threw a parcel at each of us. We caught it (I actually blocked mine) and saw they were the boxes! (And had to leave to go get it when it flew into the bushes.)

Eh?

"I-I don't understand…" I stammered as I felt around the chakra-laced package.

"Who cares? Just open it and give me the key when you're done." Tsubasa smiled, examining the box curiously.

"Actually, I'm kinda wondering what's happening here myself." Makoto stated. "Sensei, tell us what exactly is going on."

He rolled his eyes. "Isn't it obvious? You guys pass."

"…?"

He sighed. "This test isn't really about your skill level or anything like that. It's about teamwork. I know that they teach you of the importance of completing your mission; I was once a student myself, you know."

We nodded, not really sure how to respond.

Hikaru-sensei continued. "But your friends and allies are what really matter; you are more powerful when working with others rather than by themselves. Those who abandon their friends are one of the worst kinds of people ever and are less than trash-- quote borrowed from the great Hatake Kakashi-senpai~!"

We gave him another blank look.

He heaved another sigh. "Didn't you guys notice how you weren't getting anywhere earlier when you were fighting alone? The reason why Kaori was the last to come was because you two, Makoto and Tsubasa, had both found a bear and were forced to work with each other; while Kaori had to manage on her own." He scratched his head. "I guarantee that you guys would have gotten it done much faster than before if you knew that from the start."

"But we all haven't actually fought together." I interrupted, feeling a bit perplexed. "So we wouldn't really know."

"No, you would've gotten it. I was just too lazy to actually-- err… wait, what?"

I tilted my head to the side. "We've never actually fought together, so how would we know?"

Sensei's eyes widened drastically. "Oops! I wasn't supposed to give it to you guys yet! Argh, I totally ruined a really cool moment! Give me back my boxes!" We all held them out of reach.

"Sensei," Tsubasa smirked. "You already passed us. It's too late for that."

"You already said we would've won anyways if we worked together." Makoto added. "It's the same either way."

Hikaru-sensei turned to me.

I looked around in hopes for an idea on what to do. After thinking about it for a while, I reluctantly placed my box into his hands.

"Arigatou, Kaori-chan. So far, I think you're my favorite student over of those two monsters over there."

Monster duo: "…"

"Whatever, you guys all pass anyways. I'm too bored to finish fighting. So go ahead and open the boxes." Hikaru-sensei tossed it back to me.

I could already read everyone's minds as tick marks formed. 'Bored!!!'

"H-hai!" We placed the talisman in the hole, after we heard a satisfying click. We lifted the lid.

"Hurry!" Tsubasa urged, patiently waiting for someone to be done with the key.

It contained a…

Wait. What is this, exactly?

Inside was just a coupon that said,

'YAY! Team 9 passes! MI FAMILIA! One meal ticket to whatever you want (under $20)!! ~ LOVE Shiroyogan Hikaru!!'

"…"

"By the way, Kaori-chan." Hikaru-sensei started, I looked up. "I watched part of your fight with my cute little Kuma-chan for a while. Why didn't you just attack it and then heal it? That would've been so much easier and-"

"GAAH!"

"Haha, you're funny!"

Sensei grinned, and stood up. "Well, see ya. I gotta go home and set up barriers, traps, protect myself, etc. That's going to take a while, so ja!" Hikaru-sensei winked, and disappeared with a poof.

'Traps? For what?'

"Kaori-chan! Are you ready for our date?" Tsubasa asked. I shrugged before doing a double take. "E-EH? Date?! What are you-? B-But you never! I-I don't-!"

He pouted. "What? You already forgot?"

Forget? Forget what? He never said anything like that!

"Fine, maybe some other time. You owe me, though!" And with that, he leaped high in the sky- higher than an average ninja as I stared after him in disbelief.

"Heh, this team is full of weirdos…" Makoto sighed, probably used to Tsubasa's antics. "But maybe that's not such a bad thing." And she walked off. "Well, see you tomorrow Kaori."

I gaped. 'She called me… Finally! I… I have an identity!' With a huge smile, I jogged off towards the direction of my home. I was still pumped up from the soldier pill, for even a nibble could last a few hours.

"Oi! Kaori!" I turned around and saw Kiba walking along the road. "Ohayo Kiba-san! Akamaru-kun!" I chirped.

"It's hardly morning, you silly idiot!" Kiba laughed, pointing out my mistake.

"Ah, you're right. I meant Konbanwa!" I corrected with a laugh, choosing to ignore the names. "Umm, so how was your day?"

"Awesome. Akamaru and I were the best ones there!" Kiba grinned.

I giggled. "Of course."

He narrowed his eyes, "You don't believe me, do you?"

"I do!" I insisted. "At least Akamaru-kun trusts me, don't you friend?" I asked while scratching Akamaru's loveable head.

He rolled his eyes. "So how was yours?" He asked.

"It was great!" I replied, my mind whirring in major flashback mode. "Are we going to spar again?"

He nodded yes. Kiba and I would occasionally train with each other. Sometimes the meetings were planned, other times it was spontaneous. I guess we were both up to it today. "Then I guess I can tell you the details during the fight." I said.

"Alright! Let's go train now!"

I smiled. "Sure. But unlike last time, I shall win!"

"Che, just bring it!"
