(Note this is five years after when she destroyed half the district) ~Kiba-chan
(("regular speech" 'thoughts' 'thought speech'))
I was walking through the district on my way to the academy. I looked around at all the new houses that had been built in the time I was gone. I winced as I remembered that I was the reason that there were all these new buildings. 'I still can't believe that it's been five years since that night' I thought to myself as I passed the new training arena for my clan. For the first two years I went back to the old me. The one who wanted nothing, but to avenge her dead parents and mate. The funny thing was that with every kill I felt nothing, but happiness for that village because even though they had left to go to different villages they continued to be horrible people. In those years I rarely returned to the village and had a clone me taking all my classes. Of course because it was a clone I was able to see and hear what it did so I had memories of classes that coincided with the deaths of five traitors.
"Hey Kiba-chan!" a boy with short green hair called out to me.
"Hey Nachuraru. How was your weekend?" I asked the boy, giving him one of my real smiles.
"It was good, but it would have been better if you had been able to stay longer," he replied. As he said that I grabbed his hand and intertwined our fingers.
"You know that I would have stayed if I hadn't had that meeting," I said giving him a sad smile. I knew that he hated it when I had to go somewhere he couldn't. After all we have been together for the last three years and he was a part of the reason that I had stayed in Konoha training and working on our relationship.
"I still don't think it's right that Sasuke got to go with you but I had to stay here waiting and scared that something was going to happen to you or him," Nachuraru said giving me a worried look. I stopped walking and pulled him into a hug.
"I know that you don't like the fact that you have to stay hidden from them. And you know very well that Sasuke and I hate going to those meetings. I don't like leaving the village and having to take my deputy with me," I whispered in his ear.
"I know I just don't like the fact that your human cousin goes with you on these missions," he said with a sigh.
"Okay first you know that Sasuke has to go because he's my deputy and second we have this discussion after every full moon," I said. He just nodded his head knowing it was true. "Now come on or do you want to be late for the exams?" I asked giving him a serious look. He immediately perked up and we rushed to class so we wouldn't be late.
When we got closer to the school we took separate routes to the school yard. This was normal for us, since neither of us wanted to deal with his fangirls. Well to be honest he just didn't want me to beat them to a bloody pulp. So we parted ways and I hung out around the outer wall waiting. After five minutes, everyone started to head in, but I held back hidden in the shadows. I waited for another five minutes before I made my way to Iruka-sensei's class. I slipped in unnoticed and leaned against the wall at the back of the class. Iruka just explained how we would be called into a separate room by ourselves and how it would be going by last names. 'Dang it. My last name starts with an F that means that I'll have to wait a while before Naruto and Sasuke finish the test' I thought to myself.
After that I zoned out before I was brought back to reality by someone calling my name. I looked up and smiled at the blond in the orange and black jumpsuit that was currently calling out to me. He walked over and we started to make plans for after the exam. We talked until a ninja came in and called my name.
"Hey good luck, Kiba-chan," the blond said as I turned to leave.
"And good luck to you to Naruto. I'm sure you'll do fine," I said giving a chuckle at his comment.
"Luck? Oh come on, Kiba-chan. A great ninja like me doesn't need luck," Naruto boasted.
"Funny. I was just thinking the same thing," I whispered as I walked into the room with Iruka-sensei along with another ninja.
"Alright Kiba-chan. For this exam you have to perform the clone jutsu and you pass," the ninja said. I nodded my head and started to perform the hand sign when a thought crossed my mind.
"Will all the initiates have to perform the same jutsu?" I asked half way through building up my chakra.
"Yes, Kiba-chan. Every initiate will perform the same jutsu," Iruka answered. I nodded and released the chakra I had built up.
"Then I guess you'll have to count me as a fail, Iruka," I said giving my sensei a bow before moving towards the exit. The two sat there stunned for a second before Iruka called out to me.
"K-Kiba-chan why would you pass up on this opportunity?" he asked curiosity in his eyes.
"Because I would rather be a good friend than a genin," I aid with a smile. I continued on my way out when I felt a hand placed on my shoulder. I looked up to see the Hokage standing in front of me with a smile on his face. He grasped my hand and put a leaf headband in it.
"I'm sorry Hokage-sama, but I can't accept this headband. I didn't pass the exam," I said confusion in my eyes.
"Ah, but you did your test was to see if you would leave behind your friend to pursue your own dreams, but you decided to stay behind just so he wouldn't be alone. That is what it means to be a leaf shinobi. I want you to keep this headband officially you passed with the highest score so far. However unofficially you can say whatever you want," he told me with kind smile.
"Alright Hokage-sama. I'll make you a deal if Naruto passes this exam by himself I'll accept the headband otherwise I will fail alongside my friend," I said accepting the headband and sipping it into my pocket. He just smiled and nodded in agreement with what I had said. I smiled as well and continued out the door to wait for Naruto.
"Hey look the demon is finally out here and she doesn't have a headband."
"Good. Can you imagine what would happen if she passed?"
I continued to walk past the people who were whispering about me. I walked until I got to the tree that was away from the group and climbed up until I wasn't able to be seen or heard. I sat there and listened to the whispers, until I heard a bunch of girls screaming their lungs out. I looked at the exit and saw my pale skinned cousin walking out of the building. His head snapped up at the scream and he actually got paler before he took off in the direction of our house. I knew that if Sasuke was done then I wouldn't have to wait much longer for Naruto.
After a few more minutes I saw the blond haired boy walking out. He completely ignored the other kids and went straight to the swing under the tree that I was sitting in. I knew that he hadn't passed by the way he held himself and by his scent. It was full of sadness and disappointment. I hopped down and looked at him. He gave me a sad look before standing up and walking away with me. We walked until we made it to Ichiraku, here we sat down, and we ordered a couple owls of ramen each. We sat there and ate silently until Naruto broke the silence.
"I-I'm sorry K-Kiba-chan, but I didn't pass I-I understand if you don't want to be my friend anymore," Naruto said.
"Oh Naruto. I will always be your friend no matter what. I don't care about whether you're a genin or a student I will always be here for you," I said with a smile. He just looked at me like I was crazy.
"But didn't you pass?"
"No Naruto I didn't. I decided that I would rather be a student with you than leave you by yourself," I told him. Naruto just looked dumbstruck by my little speech and he just stared at me. We finished eating our ramen and I paid for the both of us. Naruto grabbed my hand and pulled me with him after we left the ramen stand. I followed him until we got to a clearing. He asked me to wait there and he went to get something. It hadn't been more than a few minutes before he returned with a very large scroll. He told me about how the other ninja, Mizuki, had said that anyone who could master one of the techniques in the scroll then they would automatically become a genin for the leaf. I said that I would help him train if I could learn the same technique, he agreed, and we started to train just like we did after school. We trained for a while the Iruka-sensei showed up and Mizuki tried to hurt Naruto, but I took the blow protecting both Naruto and Iruka. Then Mizuki told Naruto that he held the demon fox, Kyuubi within him, and Naruto ran off and I took off after him to keep him safe. We ran and hid, and after a short while we heard their voices, then Iruka said that Naruto wasn't like the demon fox and that Mizuki was the demon, then Mizuki threw his other weapon at Iruka, but Naruto and I stopped it before it could hit him. Then we both used the Shadow Clone Jutsu and beat Mizuki into a bloody pulp before Iruka gave Naruto his headband and I told Naruto that we had both passed and that I was hoping to be on the same team as him before I went home. When I got there I found Sasuke sitting at the tale with a worried look on his face and I told him I would tell him later and we went to our room and passed out on our beds.
[Thenext morning]
I turned on the stove and began to cook up some food for myself and Sasuke. As I cooked I heard Sasuke get out of bed and begin to head downstairs. He walked in rubbing his eyes the way he always does. It was moments like these that made me think of my parents and of his parents and how we would always make a large breakfast for everyone before we left for school of work.
"Morning'," he said taking a seat at the table.
"Good morning brother. So how did you do yesterday?" I asked as I set the food on the table and began to make myself a plate.
"I passed easily," he said with a smirk on his face. I smiled and congratulated him before returning to my plate of food. We ate in silence for a bit before he asked me what had happened last night. I gulped and told him what had happened to Naruto and I in the forest, but I left out the fact that Naruto was the Nine tails vessel. I watched my cousin to see if he reacted to what I said. He only expressed his sorrow for Naruto's ordeal. Afterwards we went to the arena where I met up with Neji and practiced on my Taijutsu while Sasuke practiced on being able to store large amounts of chakra away for later. After a while Neji left to go on a mission with his team and Sasuke and I spent the rest of the day just hanging out. That night I didn't sleep and decided that I needed some fresh air so I went for a walk around the village. I met up with Nachuraru and we hung out and did our somewhat normal routine with each other. A kiss there and a blush on the others face. Once the sun started to rise we parted ways and I headed back to the district, but not before I gave my boyfriend a kiss and making him blush a dark shade of red. When I got back I found that Sasuke was already awake and was ready to leave. We headed to the academy together, for the last time, and this time I was able to walk with my cousin the entire time since no one else was there yet.
"Well Sasuke. This is it, this is the day we learn who is on our team," I said before I continued to the back of the room. He just nodded in my direction showing me that he was worried about not being strong enough for his team. I just smiled and began to put my face back into the one that showed my enemies that I didn't are what they thought. After a few minutes other genin annunciates began to file into the room and many of them were whispering about me.
'How can you stand it Sis?' Sasuke asked through our mental bond. Since we were related and he was my deputy a bond formed that allowed us to talk the same way that I talked with my children over long distances or just for convenience.
'Because I've had worse said about me by better people' I answered.
'But doesn't it make you mad to hear them talk about you like that?'
'No it doesn't. All it does is make me pity the weak fools'
'I guess I never thought of it like that' he said with a shake of his head. After that we blocked off our thoughts from the other. After a while Naruto came in and took a seat near the front of the class. I heard a loud noise coming from behind the door I was leaning on and knew that the two idiotic fangirls had arrived. I sighed and jumped away from the door and into the corner on the other side of the room.
"Ha, Ino pig I beat you," a bubblegum pink haired girl said to a blond kunoichi.
"No you didn't Billboard brow," the blond said to the other. Pretty soon they were talking to Sasuke and I could see that he wasn't comfortable with them staring and trying to get him to fall for one of them. I sighed looking at the ground, but I looked up when I heard the fangirls gasp. My mouth dropped open when I saw Naruto kissing Sasuke. After a second or two they broke apart and started to cough.
"Naruto you idiot! I was supposed to be Sasuke-kun's~ first kiss," the pink haired girl yelled at the blond. Said blond didn't even notice the fangirls ganging up on him. After a few seconds Naruto was on the ground and Iruka-sensei decided that he was going to show up now.
"All right settle down. I'm going to call out the teams and because of a request by the Hokage there will be one team of five," Iruka said before calling out the team names and who would be in them. "Team 7. Sakura Haruno...Naruto Uzumaki...Sasuke Uchiha...Nachuraru Shizen... and Kiba Fenrisulfur," Iruka called out. When he said that Naruto and Sakura were on the same team, Naruto looked happy and Sakura looked depressed, then Sakura was happy that Sasuke was on a team with her and Naruto was depressed. When he said Nachuraru was on the team everyone looked happy, but when he said that I was on the team the room went dead silent. Everyone looked to the back of the room and I looked back at them displaying no emotion what so ever on the outside, but on the inside I was bursting with joy.
"Iruka-sensei, why does a great shinobi like me have to be on a team with someone like Sasuke?" Naruto asked directing the attention back to him and Iruka, which I was thankful for and made a note to thank the blond later.
"Because, Naruto, the best of the class and the worst of the class has to be paired together to balance out the teams," Iruka explained to Naruto.
"So, then Sasuke got the best score on the final, right," Sakura asked. Iruka just shook his head no. I snapped my head up and glared at him. 'What are you doing Iruka?' I asked myself narrowing my eyes at him.
"Then Nachuraru got the best score, right?" Ino asked. Iruka just shook his head no again. "NO WAY! Are you saying that billboard brow got the highest score?" Ino asked sound outraged, while Sakura just looked smug. Iruka shook his head no again and then everyone focused their attention on my again. 'Oh Kami. If I get my hands on Iruka-sensei I'm going to throttle him' I thought to myself.
"NO! I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT THE DEMON GOT A BETTER SCORE ON THE FINAL THAN SASUKE!" Sakura yelled out giving me a glare. In the next instant she was flying across the room and Kiba-kun was standing there alongside Shino with his arm where she had been a second ago.
"Don't you EVER call my cousin that in my presence again! Is that clear?" he growled out while Shino and Akamaru tried to hold him from doing anything else.
"Kiba," I stated calmly. He turned around and faced me. "Let it go," I said as I pushed myself off the wall and into a standing position with my hands in my pockets.
"Let it go!? You expect me to let it go after she just called you a demon, when she doesn't even know the real you?" he asks me with disbelief in his voice.
"Yes I do because we both know that I've been called worse by better people and that if it REALLY bothered me I would have put her through the wall myself," I said as I turned and walked out of the room. I knew that everyone is looking at me with a stunned expression. I just ignore them and keep walking.
{Kiba-kun's POV}
I looked at my cousin with disbelief as she left the academy. I felt something brush my leg and see that it's Akamaru. I bend down and pick him up before I look around at the other students.
"You should all be ashamed of yourselves," I growled glaring at the people who had insulted my cousin and pushed her away. "I'm leaving to go find her. I hope I see you guys afterwards for training," I said to Naruto, Nachuraru, and Sasuke.
"Don't bother Kiba. It will only make her madder if you go searching for her," Sasuke said grabbing my wrist. I looked at him and I knew that he was worried about her to.
"Fine, but we should at least keep Neji from finding out what happened today. Otherwise we're going to have a really big problem," I said with a sigh.
"Don't worry I'll go and calm her down," Nachuraru said before disappearing in a cloud of smoke. I sighed again and started to make plans with Shino to spar after we met our team leader. As we spoke I heard a groan come from Sakura. I glanced over in her direction and wonder why Kiba-chan hadn't attacked her. The more I thought about it the more worried I became. Then I started to think about what was special about today.
"Kuso," I said out loud when I realized what today was. Sasuke gave me a questioning look, but quickly hid it behind his emotionless mask. "Guys there isn't any practice today with Kiba-chan because today is the anniversary of that thing," I hissed out the last part. When I said that they realized what today was for our friend.
"Kuso. I can't believe that I forgot what today was," Sasuke said. After that we all fell silent and I prayed she would forgive my stupidity. Sasuke left and we all drifted out of the room before Sakura could really come to her senses and try to attack us. I was, however, surprised that Iruka hadn't chewed me out for attacking a fellow leaf genin. As I left I looked over at him and noticed that he had a worried, but proud look in his eyes. I was confused, but decided it as better not to ask and left with Akamaru to go get something for lunch.
{My POV}
I sat on top of the Hokage tower and looked over the citizens of the village. I was depressed and excited at the same time.
"Hey Kiba-chan," Nachuraru said as he teleported onto the roof. I gave him a sad smile and leaned back to look at the sky. Nachuraru just sat down beside me and watched the clouds with me. "Sorry about what happened today," he whispered in my ear after a few minutes. I looked at him with a face that said it wasn't what was bothering me. "So today marks the 9th year right?" he asked while learning over me to block out the sky.
"Yes," I whispered as a tear slid down my face. I knew that it wasn't going to be easy to get through today, but I also knew that if I had my friends with me I would be alright. After a while I felt Nachuraru pick me up and pull me to his chest. I won't lie I was extremely grateful that he did that. Just that one action made me remember something that I had once heard said to a good friend of mine. 'A wound to the heart can only be healed with love' I thought to myself.
This one thought brought a small smile to my face. I looked up at Nachuraru and gave him a quick kiss as a thank you. He blushed at the affection behind it and I gave a small smirk at his embarrassment. We stayed like this for a moment longer before we heard the swish of fur. We pulled apart just enough so that we could see who would interrupt our alone time. I saw that it was just Wolfspirit, Bloodeyes, Iceeyes, and Tigerspirit. I gave them a smile glad that they had accepted my offer that I had made earlier.
"Hey I'm going to head back home real quick," I told them as I pulled away from my boyfriend. "No you can't come with me because you need to go and eat before you head back," I said as Nachuraru opened his mouth to offer to come with us. He just gave a smile and rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment that he had forgotten something like that. I smiled at him and took off in the direction of my house with my four children right on my heels. We got there a few minutes later and I headed up to the room that I shared with Sasuke.
I opened the door and saw him tied up on the floor. I smiled at the sight and thought about how many girls would kill to find Sasuke like this.
'Please untie me' Sasuke asked through our mind link since he was gagged as well.
"Well maybe I should leave you like this and tell your fangirls that you're all tied up at my place," I joked with him.
'You wouldn't' he said as he stopped struggling against his bonds. I thought about it for a bit.
"You're right I wouldn't. Mostly because they would ransack the house for anything of yours and accuse me of kidnapping you," I said as I walked over and pulled out a kunai and cut his ropes being extra careful not to cut his shirt or him. After a few more seconds I had the rope cut and Sasuke was free of his restraints. He got up and gave me a quick thanks and a hug. I smiled and left him to do whatever it was that he was going to do. I made it back to the classroom where we were meeting our team leaders and saw that I was the first one back. I smirked at my luck and decided that I was going to sit opposite the door along with the four who decided to stay with me.
{Sasuke's POV}
I walked towards the academy after I had finished my lunch and was thinking about what the blond could be doing with my body.
"Hey Sasuke-kun~! I've been waiting for my old-fashioned boyfriend," Sakura said. I just ignored her comment about me being her boyfriend and looked around to see if Kiba-chan or Naruto had already been this way.
"Come on recess is over. Where are Kiba-chan and Naruto?" I asked out loud.
"You're changing the subject again! Can't we just forget about them for a minute?" she ask looking cross that I had brought them up. "Besides they're always getting between us," she said looking cross. I just ignored her and continued to look around for any sign that they had already been through here on their way to the academy. "It's because they were badly bought up! You...know because they never had any parents? They don't have to answer to anyone, EVER, and it's made them completely SELFISH! If I did the kinds of things those two do every day my parents would kill me," Sakura said. My eyes widened when she called them selfish and growl rose in my throat because I knew that this was the biggest lie I had ever heard. "Don't you envy them being alone, not having to answer to anyone? Kids without family always grow up selfish," she finished smugly. In the next second I had her pinned against a tree.
"That and lonely," I growled out at her and watched s her eyes widened in shock that I was defending their actions. "Being scolded by your parents doesn't compare to the pain that comes with being alone," I growled.
"...Wha. What's gotten into you all of a sudden?" she asked with confusion on her face.
"You... make me sick! And if you I EVER hear you talking about my cousin that way ever again I WILL make sure that her other cousins hear about it and will personally see to it that you get what you deserve," I said dropping her and walking away. "And next time you want to insult someone make sure that you have your facts straight," I yelled over my shoulder still mad about what she said.
As I got loser I bumped into Naruto, we fought a little before his stomach started hurting, and when he ran to the bathroom I felt a strange pain in my chest. I pushed it away and went in the room.
{My POV}
I was dozing when I heard the door open and someone walked over to where I was sitting. I opened my eyes as I sensed the distress that was rolling off the person.
"K-Kiba-chan what does it feel like to love somebody?" Sasuke asked. I just opened my mouth and left it like that for a second.
"Well love is something that you feel in your heart. Take me for example whenever I think of the people I love I feel this need to protect them and make sure that they are happy. When I think of my previous mate or my mate right now I feel this pain in my chest that won't go away unless I'm around them, but that's mostly an alpha mate thing. And you shouldn't base anything on this because love can affect people in different ways. But why the sudden interest?" I finished, looking at my cousin in confusion.
"I-I think I've fallen for someone," he whispered the last part. I looked at him hard for a few seconds before I opened up our link and felt the emotions that were going through him at that moment. I felt confusion, fear, happiness, hope, and sadness all at the same time, but the last emotion was the one that worried me.
"Well I personally think that whoever you like is very lucky to have your affection," I said completely serious. Sasuke's head snapped up at my comment ad he just stared at me.
"Do you really mean that, Sis?" he asked me worry obvious in his voice. I got off the table and pulled my younger cousin into a hug.
"Yes, I do brother. And to be honest I hope the girl you like returns your feelings and isn't just another fangirl," I said in his ear.
"Who ever said anything about a girl?" he asked with fear radiating off his body.
"Really? Well that actually makes my life easier," I said as I pulled back enough to look him in the eyes.
"What are you talking about?" he asked confused by my reaction.
"I mean I wasn't exactly thrilled at the prospect of having some stupid fangirl as an in-law when they would just want you for your looks and not who you really are. Besides I think I know who you like," I said giving him a smile/smirk. His eyes widened in confusion as to how I could know who he liked. "Sometimes when you sleep you open the mind link and I can see your dreams. Oddly enough the few times this has happened you never remember the dreams the next day," I said answering his unspoken question. He just opened his mouth to say oh before we heard the door start to rattle. We quickly pulled apart and Sasuke put on his emotionless mask, while I let the real me out for the first time in public in years.
The door opened to reveal Nachuraru surrounded by girls who were desperately trying to get his attention. He looked really uncomfortable and of course the girls just ignored what he wanted. I quickly got fed up with them getting so grabby of my mate and stood up and made my way towards the group. I slipped through the crowd without being noticed by the fangirls and was soon at the front of the group. Nachuraru noticed me right away and before the others could figure out who I was I grabbed him by his shirt and pulled him into a passionate kiss. After a few seconds he kissed back and the girls just stared at us dumbstruck that it was that easy for me to kiss him. I pulled back and smirked at the light blush that covered his cheeks. I quickly teleported us back to where my bodyguards were. As soon as we appeared I pushed him against the wall and began to attack his mouth again. We stayed like that for a long time just kissing and making sure that everyone knew that he was mine and only mine. I smiled into our last kiss as we broke apart for air.
"Okay Kiba. I think they got the point," Nachuraru whispered in my ear. I looked away from his red face and saw that some of the girls were starting to get angry about what I was doing.
"I don't think I've made it clear enough for them just yet," I said as I returned my attention to attacking his lips.
{Sakura's POV}
I walked back to the class and thought about what Sasuke had said. I opened the door and saw most of the students blocking the door.
"Hey. What's going on," I asked as I tried to get through the door.
"Why don't you tell me, billboard brow," Ino asked me as she dragged me to the front of the group. What I saw literally blew my mind. On the table right across from the door Kiba was kissing Nachuraru and he wasn't trying to push her off himself. I stared at her for a second before I noticed that Sasuke was sitting at the desk where Kiba-chan was kissing Nachuraru and he didn't look surprised at all. I got mad and started to make my way over there to pull her off Nachuraru when I heard growls coming from directly above me. I looked up and saw a tiger and a wolf growling at me. I took another step forward and their growls became more intimidating.
"Hey you two keep it down will you? I'm trying to spend some time with my boyfriend right now," Kiba-chan called out to the two that were growling at me."I don't care who it is just make sure that they leave me and my mate alone," she purred after a second of silence. After that she went back to kissing her "boyfriend". I decided that it wasn't worth the damage that those fangs could do to my skin. I quickly turned around and returned to the others.
The moment that I decided to return to the group the two stopped growling at me. After a few minutes, the wolf and tiger jumped down and were joined by another wolf and tiger, when the door started to slide open the two that I had just noticed pointed their ears up and started to run at us. Most of the people ducked or moved out of the way before the two jumped over the ones who hadn't moved yet and tackled a pale eyed boy to the ground and licked his face in greeting.
"All right you two get off," the boy said. The two got off and the wolf crouched down and waited for the boy to do something. The boy shook his head no and glared at the crowd who instantly parted not wanting to make the boy angry. He walked by us with the wolf and tiger following him. I watched as he walked over to Kiba and Nachuraru and wondered how he knew them.
"Hey Kiba-chan. You got a sec?" the boy asked not at all scared of how she would react.
"Neji, you of all people should know that I will always have time for my cousins and family," Kiba-chan said pulling away from Nachuraru with a smile. I waited for Nachuraru to try to get away, but he just put his head in his hand and watched Kiba-chan with a small smile. I was completely stunned that he was so committed to her.
{My POV}
"So then what do you need, cousin?" I asked.
"Not much. I just wanted to know if you got a team that would be able to keep my interest," he said in a nonchalant way. I smiled and knew that really he just wanted to make sure that I was okay and unlikely to kill anyone on my team.
"Well I have Sasuke, Naruto, Nachuraru, and... Sakura," I said and growled out the last name. Neji noticed and knew that Sakura must have been one of the people that really annoyed me if I couldn't even say her name without sounding angry or growling.
"Hey don't forget that you can always have me or Kiba-kun kick her butt if you want," he said with a hard look in his eye.
"No, but thank you for offering. I'll just have to get over it and learn to "play nice" so to speak," I sighed. Neji nodded in understanding and we talked about how we were going to get together for a class as soon as he got back.
"Well, I'm going to head back, so I'll talk to you later," he said as he started to form some hand signs.
"Neji, you're on a mission aren't you," I asked as I recognize the hand signs. He nodded his head yes and wasn't surprised that I knew that he as with his team. "All right, then get back there and do a quick scan about 10 kilometers ahead of your team and I'm sure you'll see something interesting. Oh, and before I forget I'm getting closer to removing your mark," I said, whispering the last part so only he could hear me. He gave me one more nod and finished the hand signs, thus releasing the jutsu that he was using.
After that I sat around and made out with Nachuraru or went and met the two Jounin that were leading teams 8 and 10, Asuma and Kurunai-sensei. I met them both and told them about how some of their team members trained with me after school and when we had days off to improve our skills and I wanted to know if they would allow us to continue when possible.
"Well, how often do you hold these 'classes'," Kurunai-sensei asked.
"I usually hold them at least four times a week and twice on the weekends for those who need extra help or just want to get some sparring in," I replied.
"Okay. Now are these classes open to anyone?" she asked.
"Of course. Anyone that wants to come can and I usually spare with Hinata-chan since I can take the hits she deals out," I said letting her know that I made sure that everyone was treated fairly. "I even stay after the normal meeting time to help those that want it."
"I-It's t-true s-sensei. S-She even h-helped me l-learn a new t-technique," Hinata chimed in. I gave the shy girl a smile that soon had her smiling as well.
"Well then I guess it's all right, but what happens when you are away on missions who will lead the class then?" Kurunai asked. I frowned a little and motioned for Bloodeyes to join me.
"I usually leave my cousin, Sasuke, in charge, but we are on the same team. So now when I'm gone Bloodeyes or one of the other higher ups will lead the class," I said motioning for my eldest son to come forward.
"Are you sure that it's safe to leave a wild animal in charge of teaching a class of humans?" Kurunai asked, eyeing Bloodeyes suspiciously.
"Actually, Bloodeyes and the others have trained with the others from the beginning," I said with an anime sweat drop behind my head. She just shook her head in understanding and said that it was fine with her for her students to continue with the training classes. Asuma on the other hand jumped at the chance since it was one of the few times that Shikamaru actually practiced and didn't complain. After that I went back to Nachuraru and dozed off in his arms.
"WHERE IS OUR SENSEI?! Everybody else has already met THEIR sensei's and ours is two hours late," Naruto called out.
"Wait how late is our sensei?" I asked as I sat up.
"Uh... about two hours. Why?" Naruto said.
"All right. Time for some pay back," I said with an evil smirk on my face. Everyone gave me a confused look since they didn't know who our sensei was, but there was only one ninja who was ever late to things like this. Naruto shrugged and set up one of the oldest tricks in the book to get him with.
A few seconds later I heard footsteps outside the door and decided that now was the time to get some payback. I quickly performed the hand signs for the water clone jutsu and made a water clone of myself who jumped up into the rafters to wait for my signal. I watched as the door opened and the eraser that Naruto had put there for the prank fell onto his head. I looked at Kakashi's face and knew that he wasn't impressed.
"Ha, he totally fell for it," Naruto said with a laugh.
"Well my first impression of you guys is... that you're all idiots," Kakashi said looking very unimpressed by the prank. As soon as he said that I tackled him from behind and caught him off guard so instead of being able to stop me he ended up with me on his back.
"Ah come on Kakashi. Can you really say that we're all idiots," I asked while pulling out his Icha-Icha Paradise book from his bag. Kakashi's head snapped around as he recognized my voice.
"Well, it seems that I was the lucky one to get the five man team," he said looking unimpressed. "And get off of me Kiba-chan," he said trying to grab me. As he did that I made some more hand signs and created a replica of the book that I had taken from him.
"I don't think she wants to get off of you, Kakashi," my water clone said. Everyone looked up at the rafters to find 'me' standing on one of the beams.
"This is a shadow clone isn't it?" Kakashi said looking downcast.
"Yep," the clone said pulling out the replica of the book. Kakashi gave a sigh and threw a kunai at me and I disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"Kiba, give me my book," Kakashi said looking mad.
"Only if you can catch me," the clone said dodging a kunai. This went on for a few minutes before Kakashi finally pinned the clone down and got his book back.
"Well now that I've wasted a few minutes chasing you why don't we go up to the rooftop?" Kakashi said still looking pretty angry. When they got to the rooftop I was sitting on the railing reading Kakashi's book and eating some jerky.
"Hey guys," I said with a smile. Kakashi looked at me and the clone beside him. When he looked at the clone it stuck its' tongue out and burst into puddle of water that started to slide back down the stairs and the book he had in his had disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"Okay somebody needs to get that book back before she gets any more ideas," Nachuraru said with a worried look on his face.
"Oh, don't worry I already read this volume once this week and I promise I got some great ideas from it," I said with a smirk. I closed the book and tossed it back to Kakashi who caught it and returned it to his bag. "Besides I already have the latest issue of it," I said giving Nachuraru a look.
"Oh Kami, please don't let her get any more ideas," Nachuraru said looking scared.
"Don't worry I won't use any of these particular ideas for a few more months at the least," I said. Everyone, but Nachuraru, looked at me like I was insane.
"NOOOO! You can't take Nachuraru's innocence from him," Sakura said.
"Whoa. First I didn't mean it like that, but thank you for giving me another reason to reread those books, and second my boyfriend is way less innocent than you think," I said making Sakura faint. I laughed at her along with Sasuke who chuckled more than laughed. Nachuraru just went into his emo corner and tried to regain some of his dignity. I just chuckled and stood so that I was leaning against the railing. After a few minutes Sakura started to come to and everyone, other than me and Nachuraru, took a seat on the steps. Kakashi leaned against the railing so that he was facing everyone and Sasuke's second cousins decided to lie down between me and him.
"Alright now that that's over why don't we get to know each other," Kakashi-sensei said.
"What you mean like our likes, dislikes, dreams, and hobbies?" I asked with a frown.
"Exactly like that, Kiba-chan. So I'll go first so you know what to do. My name is Kakashi Hatake. I don't feel like telling you my likes and dislikes. As for dreams for the future...hmm... and I have lots of hobbies," Kakashi said with a smile in his visible eye.
"Geez sensei that was so helpful," I said my voice dripping with sarcasm. He just ignored my comment and motioned for Naruto to start things off.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki, I like instant ramen in a cup, but I like Ichiraku's even more because sometimes Kiba-chan or Iruka-sensei will go eat with me and get the bill. I dislike the three minutes that you have to wait for the ramen to cook. And my dream for the future... is to become the next Hokage so that people in this village will have to acknowledge my abilities and existence. My hobbies are pranks...I guess," Naruto finished rubbing the back of his head out of habit. I smiled and nodded my head encouragingly when he said his dream for the future and gave him one of my rare smiles.
"All right then pink haired is next," Kakashi said after a moment to take in what Naruto had said.
"My name is Sakura Haruno. The thing I like is...well I guess you could say the person I like is... my dream for the future is... I dislike Naruto. And my hobbies include...," Sakura said and with every pause she would look at Sasuke with a blush on her face. Every time she looked away Sasuke would scoot a little closer to me.
'Girls like her are more interested in guys than in their job' I thought with a sigh. When I glanced over at Kakashi I knew that he was thinking the same thing.
"Next," Kakashi said looking at Sasuke who refused to speak. Instead Nachuraru started to tell us about himself.
"My name is Nachuraru Shizen. I like to hang out with my friends, my girlfriend, Kiba-chan, or with Kiba-chan's friends and family. I dislike fangirls, fanboys, and people who treat others like they are lesser beings who don't deserve to live without getting to know the person first. My hobbies include wrestling with Kiba-chan's wolves and tigers, wrestling with Kiba-chan, and training. My dream for the future is that I'll be able to protect Kiba-chan when the time comes," Nachuraru said putting his arm around me. After his last sentence I pulled him closer, gave him a quick kiss, and rested my chin on his shoulder. He blushed a little and I just smirked gently at him knowing that I was the only one who could make him blush in embarrassment. Sakura just sat there and fumed over the fact that I had one of the hottest boys in our class for my boyfriend.
"Okay then you boy with the blue shirt you're next," Kakashi said drawing my attention back to my cousin.
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I don't like many things, but I do like to be around my cousin Kiba since she is all the family that I have left in this village, and there are plenty of things I hate, including fangirls, I don't really consider my goal a dream because I WILL make it a reality and that reality is one where I kill the man who destroyed my clan," Sasuke said with a hard glint in his eyes. As soon as my younger cousin started to talk I gently pushed my boyfriend off and prepared for my move. I saw red when my cousin mentioned revenge and instantly teleported over to stand in front of him. I grabbed the front of his shirt and lifted him up.
"How dare you talk like that, you who doesn't even know what pain is," I said.
"This coming from the girl who never had any family," Sakura said with a smug look on her face. I stiffened and felt my blood boil.
"My name is Kiba Ulrika Fenrisulfur. I like being around people who aren't stupid or trying to get in my cousin's life, I also enjoy hunting with my packmates. I hate fangirls and people like you, Sakura, who only think of themselves and not of others or who are more occupied with their looks than their jutsus. Some of my hobbies include hunting, sword collecting, training, pranks, and hanging out with my family and friends. My dream for the future is to protect the people I care for from the person who made my life a living hell," I hissed at Sakura who started shaking like a leaf. I was so focused on her that I almost missed the smell of blood.
I jerked my head around to look back at my cousin and saw blood starting to seep through the thin cloth. I looked at his face and saw the fear and pain in his eyes. I quickly set him back down and stared at him shocked that I had let it go so far.
"Sasuke...I'm so sorry. You know that I would never hurt you like that right?" I asked almost afraid of the answer. I watched as he struggled to answer through the pain that was in his body. I winced and quickly started to form the correct hand signals before I shot out the hand that had given him the five claw like wounds. Right before my hand collided with his chest I stopped my arm and a white colored chakra started to come from my hand and heal the wounds that I had made. As soon as I had healed him, he passed out from the amount of pain I had put him in.
Sakura rushed over and pushed me out of the way and cradled Sasuke like he was a child. I just looked at the scene with shock before I looked back down and saw that my right hand had turned into a clawed hand. I quickly put the hand in my pocket and sat on the ground away from the others. Naruto and Nachuraru looked at me with understanding in their eyes.
'Oh Kami of all the days to hurt my cousin I did it on this sacred day of grief' I thought to myself horrified that I had been so stupid as to even think about gabbing my cousin like that.
'Great look at what you've done' I heard someone say.
'Yeah. Cause it's totally my fault that pink hair said that to her. Just get her out of here before anythingelse happens, besides the sun is setting and soon I get to have my day out' a rough female voice said. The next thing I knew I was in my mind and was looking at an empty room and I could feel my chakra being used to teleport me to somewhere outside of the village. I just sat there still shocked that I had hurt my cousin at all.
{Naruto's POV}
I was shocked when Kiba-chan grabbed Sasuke and lifted him up. I didn't really hear what she said after Sakura insulted her, but the next thing I knew she was performing hand signs and a weird colored chakra started to glow around her hands and healed Sasuke's wounds. I knew that she must have lost control for a brief second when Sakura-chan insulted her. I sat rooted to the spot as I listened to Sakura sob and worry over Sasuke-teme. When I finally came out of my state of shock I noticed that Kiba-chan and Nachuraru were gone and that Bloodeyes and Iceeyes were advancing on Sakura.
'Come on guys we need to get out of here before mom starts to head home'I heard Wolfspirit tell his siblings. They nodded and continued to make their way towards Sakura-chan and Sasuke-teme who was still unconscious. I quickly moved closer to Sakura who glared at me before returning her attention to the teme. The four siblings continued to get closer to their cousin and stopped when they were about a fox leap away from us.
'Hey, Naruto can you tell the aho that she needs to move before I get really pissed' Bloodeyes snarled in my head.
"Hey Sakura-chan. I think you should move away from Sasuke," I said. She glared at me like I was a complete idiot for even thinking that she would leave her precious Sasuke~kun. "Listen you probably have a minute before Bloodeyes over there tries to take your throat out. You're already on their shun and/or kill list. Do you really want to be on their taken care of list?" I asked with a nervous smile.
"Oh, geeze I'm so scared of this Bloodeyes person I bet Sasuke~kun could beat him in a heartbeat," Sakura said. I glanced over at the siblings to see that they were laughing. I don't mean chuckling, but rolling on their backs with their tongues lolling out of their mouths laughing. "What the naraku is their problem?" she said looking at the animals.
"You just said that Sasuke could beat the big one with the white sock on his left foreleg, when in reality Bloodeyes trained Sasuke in most of what he knows," I said rubbing the back of my head awkwardly. She just looked at me like I was stupid or something.
"Oh, come on Naruto. There's no way that an animal trained Sasuke~kun to be as great as he is," Sakura said glaring at the wolf. At this insult they stopped laughing and stood up with their back fur rising in anger.
'Why you little-' Bloodeyes started to growl while advancing on Sakura.
"Bloodeyes. Knock it off," a voice said. My head whipped around and the animals bowed their heads in respect, but continued to growl threateningly at Sakura.
'Why should I give her any slack after she tormented my mother and me about her past?' Bloodeyes growled.
"I don't care what she did to our leader. Do you really think that she would have let her live this long if she didn't see something in the idiot?" the voice said. I looked in the direction of the voice and saw a boy with black hair, tanned skin, and golden eyes leaning against the wall. Bloodeyes growled something out to him.
"Yes. I know that it's her fault we're in this situation right now, but there isn't anything that we can do to change it. Now I was sent here to make sure you five made it back home before leader-sama does," the boy said narrowing his eyes at Sakura's position over Sasuke. "Yes, Bloodeyes. I haven't forgotten our orders when it comes to her, but I don't think she'll mind if we ignore it in favor of getting her deputy home safely. Yes I do want to give her something to remember us by, but we don't have time the sun has almost set and soon we will not be able to protect ourselves if we don't get home soon," he black haired boy said.
"Do you need any help getting the boy home?" Kakashi asked.
"Not from you, but the blond may come if he wants to," the boy answered. Kakashi gave him a questioning look, but hid it with a smile in his visible eye. I looked over at Sasuke and quickly made my way over to him.
"Kakashi-sensei are you really going to let four animals and a boy we don't know take Sasuke home?" Sakura asked directing her gaze at sensei.
"You don't really have a choice. After all you have to have a pass to enter the Uchiha district," the boy said. Sakura looked shocked at that little bit of information.
"Then how do you get in if you need a pass?" she asked him.
"Sakura-chan they have a pass because they live there," I said.
"NO WAY! How can an animal and a strange boy have a pass to the district like that?" she practically yelled. I saw Sasuke flinch in his unconscious state and I moved a little closer while trying to calm her down.
"We have passes because we have to get pass the guards some way," the boy said coming closer to Sasuke. In the next instant he had Sasuke draped over his shoulders and was heading towards the district.
'You coming, Naruto?' Bloodeyes asked following the boy. I thought about it for a second longer then stated to run after them leaving Sakura and Kakashi on the roof. I followed the others for a little ways before we came to the largest house in the district. The boy gave me Sasuke and unlocked the door. We went in and I took Sasuke up to his room on the second floor. I set him down and retreated back to the living room to make myself a place to sleep for the night.
{My POV}
I leaned against the trunk of a tree and made myself focus on the person standing in front of me.
"You still can't control the pain in any other way can you?" feminine voice asked.
"Course I canma friend," I slurred in my haze filed state. The person sighed and pulled me up into a standing position where I promptly began to fall forward. The person caught me and we slowly started the walk back to the village. I stumbled long and sang in a very groggy voice until we made it to the village gates.
"Heeey Neji-kuuun. Wha's up?" I slurred at my cousin.
"How many did she have this time?" Neji asked ignoring me and my question.
"She had at least a shot of every bottle they had before she went to find the berry bush," the girl replied. Neji sighed and took me from her. The girl turned to leave as soon as she was certain Neji had me. Neji started to walk me back to my house and we made it there before the moon had reached the full height of its rotation. Neji shifted me and rapped his knuckles against the door.
"Coming," a voice called. After a few moments the door opened and Naruto stood in the doorframe.
"Who are you and what the heck happened to Kiba-chan?" he asked as Neji pushed his way through the door and set me on the couch opposite the one that Naruto had made into a bed.
"Thanksss cous," I slurred again. Neji just gave me a look that said don't mention it and turned to leave. He bushed passed Naruto and left the house without a backward glance. Naruto looked confused for a sec before he shrugged and grabbed a blanket from the closet. He covered me with it and I started to feel my mind slip into the black abyss of sleep. As I fell asleep I saw my first mate's face hovering behind the blond and then I passed out.
[The Next Day]
I woke to the feel of something cold and wet on my face. I sat up and looked to my left and saw Wolfspirit sitting there.
"Thanks for getting me up," I said holding my head.
"Good to see you're finally up Kiba-chan," a blond boy yelled from the kitchen. I knew that it was Naruto by the bright orange jumpsuit he was wearing.
"SHUT UP, DOBE!" Sasuke yelled from upstairs. I heaved a sigh when Naruto started to mock my cousin. I slowly stood up and started to make my way towards the nearest bathroom to get ready for the day.
"Hey Kiba-chan," Naruto called out looking indecisive about something.
"Yeah?" I replied.
"Who's Scourge?" he asked, curiosity clear on his face. I felt my body stiffen at the mention of my mate's other name. He must have noticed my hesitation and the way my body stiffened because he hastily added," You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."
"That information is something I'm not ready to tell anyone yet. I didn't even tell the Hokage who he was, but somehow you know his name," I said.
"Well you mumbled it last night before you passed out on the couch, but like I said you don't have to tell me," he said answering my unasked question. I gave a small nod promising myself that one day I would tell the rest of my team my past. I made my way to the bathroom were I quickly emptied the contents of my stomach into the toilet before taking a quick shower. I hopped out and pulled on my fish net under shirt, my black and red flame colored shirt and matching pants, red ninja shoes, and my spiked collar.
I walked out of the bathroom only to be tackled by a black panther. He pushed his head against mine in an affectionate gesture and let me scratch behind his ears before I pushed him off and continued to the kitchen.
"Hey do you guys want anything before we leave to meet sensei?" I called out towards the living room.
"We can't. Remember he said that we were supposed to meet him there without having eaten anything yet," Sasuke called back.
"And you think this is wise because?" I called back.
"Because he could be watching us right now," Naruto responded. I rolled my eyes and pulled out the raw meat and proceeded to cut off small bits of it so that I had it for later. Afterwards I grabbed my belt, making sure that my weapons' pouch was fully stocked, and we headed to the training grounds. We got there and I saw that Sakura had yet to arrive so I proceeded to climb a nearby tree to get a little more rest before the pinkette showed up. After a few minutes I sensed that the other two genin had arrived and that none of them had eaten anything. A while later I heard the tree next to me rustle as something landed on it. I barely cracked an eye open to see that it was just my messenger hawk returning from his recent journey. I was saddened to see that he still had my message strapped to his back. I told him he could go and returned to my sleep.
I stayed like this until I heard the tale tail sign of a kunai being thrown at me. My eyes snapped open and I grabbed the kunai with two figures before jumping and throwing the weapon back at its owner. I saw the kunai hit its mark right in-between the feet of my team leader. As everyone focused on the weapon I made a clone to take my place while I hid myself in a nearby tree, making sure to disguise my chakra so I wouldn't be noticed.
"Nice shot Kiba-chan, but you shouldn't let your enemy know where you are or give them the chance to strike first," Kakashi said retrieving his kunai.
"Really? I could've sworn that the point was to make so much noise that your enemy knew you were coming from a couple miles away the same way you did," I said sarcasm evident in my voice. After that Kakashi explained the training mission and how we were to pass by acquiring one of the four bells that he had. Of course Sakura had to state the obvious that there were only four bells and five of us. I responded by calling her Captain Obvious and explaining how one of us would be sent back to the academy after the test. I saw that most of their eyes gained a hard look in them before they directed their attention back to Kakashi.
While I studied their faces my clone watched Kakashi pull out a clock and set it for noon. Right as he was going to say start Naruto charged at him and attempted to take the bells. I took the opportunity to take all the bells and replace them with fakes. Once Kakashi had released Naruto he said to begin and everyone took off to hide in the underbrush. I released the clone jutsu and started to try and get the others to work together to take down Kakashi.
A few minutes later and I had only been able to get Nachuraru to join up with me and had given him one of the bells. I arrived and saw that Naruto was tied up and that Kakashi was pretty mad too.
"Only one of you five deserves to become a genin of the village hidden in the leaves," Kakashi said.
"Sensei allow me to speak," I said. Everyone turned to look at me since I had spoken with such venom in my voice. I knew that the rage I was barely able to conceal was showing on my face because I could feel the small hairs starting to stand on end and my already log canines were longer than normal. He gave me a quick nod to show that it as alright with him.
"NONE OF YOU DESERVE TO CALL YOURSELVES NINJA AFTER THE PERFORMANCE THAT YOU JUST PUT ON! YOU CAN'T EVEN GRASP THE SIMPLEST OF CONCEPTS!" I hissed at the others. I dropped my voice to a cold, hard whisper and hid my eyes behind my bangs. "I expected better from you, Sasuke. After all I trained you to be the person you are right now," I said pointing an accusing finger at my cousin who stared at me. "You," I said pointing my finger at Naruto," I expected you to leap at the chance to show that you deserved to be Hokage, but I was wrong." I saw Naruto lower his head in shame and shock. "And then there's you, Sakura. To be honest I didn't really think you would be as stupid as you showed yourself to be by not understanding the reason behind this training. After all you were the only kunoichi in our class who could've rivaled my scores if we were in the same subjects."
I let my arm drop to my side only for it to curl into the shape of a claw. At the end I raised my head so that my eyes could be seen by them all. I knew that my eyes held a fire in them that showed just how frustrated I was with the three idiots. I growled deep in my throat as I made eye contact with them all. None of them could hold it for more than a few seconds before they looked away in fear. I spun around on the heel of my foot as I turned to gaze at the stone behind Kakashi.
"You don't know just how important teamwork is until you try to give your life for a teammate," I said as I walked away from the group.
"This is what that was about!? That whole speech and you just wanted us to know what it feels like to give our life for someone." Sakura yelled at my retreating backside. "If you wanted us to know that why don't you tell us what that feels like? Oh, wait you can't because you NEVER had anyone who cared enough to give their life for you," she yelled.
"Sakura, shut up," I whispered.
"No, I want to know why you think you can lecture us when no one has ever cared for you."
"JUST SHUT UP! YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ME! HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT," I yelled letting all my frustration out. In the next instant I was right behind the idiotic girl and was going to put my hand around her stupid little neck to end it right there and then. Just as my hand came into contact with her skin I felt something tackle me from the side. I looked down to see Kakashi trying to keep me pined to the ground.
"GET OFF OF ME," I hissed. Kakashi just stayed put and I felt a weight on my lower body. The next thing I know Kakashi was replaced by Nachuraru who was straddling my waist to keep me from escaping. I struggled harder to break his grip on my body, but every time I did I felt more weight being added to my body. After a few more minutes of me struggling to get away I just laid there panting trying to get my breath back.
"Shhhh, it's okay love. Don't worry about that idiot she doesn't know anything about you," Nachuraru started to whisper in my ears to calm me down. He stayed like that until I stopped shaking with suppressed rage.
Nachuraru let me up and I turned to face Kakashi and the others. I saw worry and fear in their eyes. I gave a small bow and continued on my way deeper into the woods.
"Good going you meinu," Nachuraru said taking off after me. I didn't want him to follow me so I quickly teleported to a secluded forest inside the village that few people ever came to because of how dangerous it was. I started to walk around until I came to a clearing where most of the trees had claw and burn marks on their trunks.
I changed my form and began to practice my combination attacks and forms. I started with the winged-wolf and ended a few hours later with the wolf tiger.
'Mother it's getting late'Wolfspirit said walking into the clearing. I nodded my head, but made no move to leave. I went over and sat with my back against one of the few unmarked trees. I decided to stay there for the night since I was still furious with my teammates and cousin.
"Well, well look what I found," a woman with purple hair said as she walked out of the forest.
"What do you want Anko?" I asked.
"Well aren't we in a bad mood today." I shot a glare at the woman who continued," I just wanted to make sure you were okay and to share some surprising news. I raised an eyebrow at the mention of news and waited for her to go on. She smirked at me knowing that I couldn't wait to hear the news.
"Well?" I prompted as my youngest son lied down next to me.
"Apparently Kakashi's team of genin actually managed to pass their test to become his students. Of course they failed the bell test, but they did prove that they could work together by feeding the one who got tied to the post." My mouth stayed in a straight line not giving anything away, but on the inside I felt a little pride for my teammates. I quickly explained how I was on the team and what happened. She wasn't really all that surprised by how the test went, but was surprised to hear that I almost lost it with Sakura. We stayed and chatted for a little longer and I decided that I was going to go to Neji's place for the night. I parted ways with Anko at the edge of the forest and continued on to Neji's after I made Wolfspirit swear not to tell them where I was spending the night.
I walked up to the door and quietly knocked on it. Neji opened the door a few seconds later and I explained the situation. He agreed to let me stay the night and I made a beeline for the floor. 'I wonder what our first mission will be' I thought as I fell into a deep sleep.
(Please of it so far and feel free to point out any spelling mistakes I try to catch them all, but no one is perfect so tell me if there are any that you notice and I will go back and fix them) ~Kiba-chan
