My P.O.V
"I can't believe Lauren, of all people, is helping Orochimaru..." I said to Anko. "I thought she was my friend..."
"She works for Orochimaru. What do you except? A happy, trustworthy friendship?" She laughed at this.
"It's just... she was my friend... or at least I thought she was.... I just thought someone I've been through alright with... would always be there for me...."
"Well... for someone to do something like that, decide against a friendship, had to have a cause to back it up... like rivalry... was there any of that between you two?"
I nodded. "Sasuke liked me instead for her... she wanted him to like her.... she wanted him.. from that moment on I knew that we were rivals."
'What happened to us, Lauren? Why did you do this to me?' I thought.
I heard laughter, echoing in my head. 'My name's Ren now, friend.'
I shut my eyes and when I reopened them, I was in one of Orochimaru hideouts. I looked left and right; up and down. When I looked down I noticed that I wasn't in my body, I was in Lauren's.
"Are you sure Orochimaru?" She asked.
"Yesss." He hissed.
She nodded. My eyes closed as something was injected into her. When I reopened my eyes, everything was black and white again; I was in the hospital still.
"Do you wanna get out of here?" Anko asked.
I closed my eyes. "Please... I feel like a caged animal in here..." I said.
"Alright." Anko said. "I'll check you out and then we'll go to the Hokage's."
I sat up and Anko helped me walk. We checked out and headed to the Hokage's. When we arrived Sasuke and Naruto were there.
"You planned this, didn't you?" I asked.
"You got that right!" Anko said.
When Tsunade didn't start talking Anko said. "We're here!"
"Obviously..." Naruto said.
"Shut it doofess." Anko replied.
"Hey! I'm not a doofess! I'm going to-" Sasuke hit Naruto before he could finish.
Anko and I were laughing so hard by now, we fell to the floor! When Tsunade coughed, we stood up like soldiers; still laughing.
"Now that you're all here. Squad...." Tsunade trailed off thinking.
"Team Sound! because you know, I'm practically blinded; Anko and I are from the Sound; Sasuke's soooo quiet and Naruto... well..." I trailed off.
"Naruto's just plain loud!" Anko blurted out.
Anko and I laughed and fell again.
"Hey!" Naruto said.
"Hay's for horses!" Anko said.
"Is Naruto a horsey?!" I said childishly.
Sasuke sighed, obviously annoyed. "Can we continue?" He asked impatiently.
"Shaddup Mr... emotionless? Mr....I'm-so-impatient? Mr....I'm-so-cool? Mr..... I'm-going-to-get-my-butt-kicked-by-a-girl-if-I-don't-shut-up?" I said thinking of names to call him.
Anko and Naruto laughed. "I LIKE THE LAST ONE!" They said in union.
I laughed, Sasuke glared, we all laughed. Including Tsunade. After everyone was down, Anko and I were able to stand and Tsunade continued.
"Alright then, Team Sound will have their first exercise today. If all goes well, then your first mission will be tomorrow."
"ALRIGHTY!!!" Anko, Naruto and I yelled. Sasuke looked more annoyed then I'd seen him.
After we all left, he asked me "How did you go from cold and distant to happy and loud?"
I shrugged and said "Anko rubbed off on me... I guess." I smiled as he nodded. "Trust me, Anko's the best thing around to get ride of the coldness and distantness."
"Is that even a word, distantness?"
"It is now!" I laughed. He didn't and I frowned. "Party pooper!" I left Sasuke to go and catch up with Anko and Naruto. "I ditched Sasuke because he's a party pooper." I looked over my shoulder and he was gone.
I shrugged and stepped right into something. It was Sasuke. He fell and I looked at him.
"Sasuke's a stalker!!" Anko half yelled, half laughed. We all laughed, including Sasuke!
