There was a sound. It seemed to be far away. Yet, the longer she heard it, the more closer it seemed. Erina realized, it was a buzzing sound, that was now irritating her ears, and disturbing her sleep. She opened her eyes, in aggravation before she blinked a few times to focus her weary sight.

Her eyes zoomed around in search of the sound. She soon found a small black spot banging against the nearby window, that showed the rising sun.

Erina rose from a bed to try an escape the aggravating sound of that fly. She realized that it her bed in the hotel room, that she got up from. She looked around the room and saw that both of her siblings were sleeping on their beds, not without the sound of the loud snoring of the male sibling.

The brunette's eyes blinked tiredly at the clock beside her sister's bed. When her eyes finally came into focus, the time was: 5:25.

She yawned at the time, and felt a compelling urge to wander around the outdoors. She could also see if she remembered the basic directions around the village as well. So she did, and left a note saying to her brother and sister to not kill her, and she only going for a walk.

The blue-eyed girl was moving around the village and attempting to take everything in to see what she recognized. Her feet was like a magnet or a dog for the blind. She thought of food and it led her to restaurants, She thought books, it led her to a library, where she stayed at for a while, trying to grasp ninja theory. Only then did she remember that she was going to meet her teacher, her mentor today.

On her way to where-ever her feet was taking her, Erina saw a familiar sliver-haired man, walking around with his familiar book, which she had yet to find out what was in it.

"Kakashi! Hi!" she jumped for joy to him, grinning.

The man looked up from his book, "Hey, Erina-san," he waved, and walked a few steps away.

Erina ran after him. Trying to get his attention she said, "I know you helped making some of my memories go puff!" she found that she sounded unintelligent saying that.

This made Kakashi look at her again. "Ah, you have them memories back, do you?"

"Yup! All of them! Especailly the time I, like, fell over a tiny rock and my face went flat on the ground and Sekitan and Suru laughed at me! Oh wait, I always had that memory, heheh..." the girl laughed nervously. "Gomen, I feel hyper today."

"You're happy to have your memories back then?" he asked.

"Yeah. Even if it does mean that I found out the first person I befriended ended up nearly killing his best friend- Oh! Sorry, I shouldn't of said that! Gomen!!" Erina started bowing over and over again at the man.

"Mah, mah," Kakashi rubbed the back of his head. "It's fine. Anyway sorry, about taking your memories away. Orders,"

"No worries. An eye for an eye," Erina grinned.

"Eh? What'd you do to me?" Kakashi questioned.

"This!" she shouted as she plucked one of the hairs out of Kakashi's head, and ran away. "I'll be checking if this is your natural hair colour Bye!" she called as she ran away, leaving a confused Kakashi.

Erina's feet led her back to the hotel room. She wanted to get back before, she would be having to dig her own grave. She then, contemplated, how deep would the grave have to be and how would she not die of exhaustion before it was finished. Her contemplation ended with her feeling sorry for grave-diggers, as she entered her room.

Her eyes met the pair that belonged to her older brother. "Where were you?" he asked, trying to sound angry.

"Walking. I left a note, foolish fool," she said, and pointed at the note.

"Well, I didn't see it. Maybe you should put your notes in more obvious places," Suru said.

"Well, maybe you should wake up earlier, so you can see if your little sister is going for a walk," Erina countered.

"Oh, yeah?!"

"Yeah!"

The both stopped at the sound of their older sister muffeling words of: "Shut up!" and "It's too early in the morning for this shit..." while rolling over to the other side of her bed.

Both siblings began snickering at the eldest, quietly.

They still all felt depressed about their parents and their house, but they knew that life is "crap" and go on with it. That lump that was missing from their hearts would stay missing forever, and they needed to learn to live with that by cheering each other up.

"So, when do we meet these boys, that are going to train us?" Erina asked as she slapped her hands together.

"Around seven, the Hokage said after you fell asleep," Suru said.

Erina looked back at the clock. "It's 6:15. Should we not get Sekitan up?"

"I'm up," came the muffled reply.

They got breakfast from one of the restaurants the youngest's feet led them to, and went to the Hokage Tower.

"So, you think of some place and your feet goes there?" Suru asked.

"Yup! I've always had a good sense of direction, but this is really cool!" Erina stated, while they journeyed to the Tower.

Once they entered the Hokage's room, they saw three ninjas. One with pointed hair, that resembled a pineapple, one with black hair and what seemed to be eyeliner on, and the other with spiked hair with a large dog beside him.

Tsunade looked at the siblings for second before talking. "These are the chunin that are going to train you."

Erina looked over them again, and found the the black haired boy in the green jumpsuit, most frightening. 'Please don't let him be my sensei! Please don't let him be my sensei!' she thought.

"There's one thing I should tell you though. Lee, here, only does taijutsu, and nothing else, so if any of you want to specailise in taijutsu, then Lee will be your sensei," she said.

Quickly both of Erina's older siblings said, "Erina," at the same time, like it would be typical of her.

"What?!" Erina looked back at them.

"Come on, Erina. We both know you're too strong for your own good and, too clumsy. This will help you with your compose and all," Sekitan explained.

"But, I wanna know how to throw knives really well," she mumbled quietly. "Fine, I'll do it, Hokage-sama. Uh... Which one of you is Lee?" Erina asked.

To Erina's horror, the boy dressed in green stood forward. "I'm Rock Lee!" he proclaimed proudly. "I shall teach you the youthfulness of taijutsu and the springtime of youth! Together we will be youthful!"

Erina thought about the boy in front of her again. She thought if he's this crazy, she could play along and be as crazy with him. "Yo, I'm Erina."

The boy with the dog stepped forward, "I'm Inuzuka Kiba, and this Akamaru," he pointed to the dog beside him, as the dog barked.

The pineapple haired boy was last, "Nara Shikamaru. You all better not be troublesome."

Tsunade spoke up again, "Suru you will be taught by Kiba. Sekitan, you will be taught by Shikamaru."

"Come, Erina-san. We must go to one of the training grounds," Lee walked out the door and Erina followed.

"Hey, Lee... just so you know, I'm not the fittest or fastest person in the world," Erina said careful.

"Not to worry, we'll work on that. It will only be based on Academy training," he answered.

"Okay, is that hard?" she asked.

"Not at all, Erina-san, it is only the basics."

"Okay. Uh... should I call you Lee-sensei?"

"Yes, that will sound most youthful!" Lee smiled at her.

They got to the training ground where a dummy was, that was probably for aim. Lee wanted her to tell him about herself, so she did.

"I'm Kinasaki Erina. I like... stuff, and I hate... uh... oh! Coldness, but I hate being warm more. My sister Sekitan, usually bosses me about, while my brother Suru just laughs. I just cam to the village just yesterday and I found out my parents died, and my house just burned down. So, all I can do now is become a ninja like them and try to make a living off it," Erina stopped before she sounded like she was rambling.

"Erina-san, what's your reason to become a ninja?" Lee asked.

"Hm... So I won't be helpless, because I hate the feeling of helplessness, I guess," Erina pondered.

"I see. Youthfulness shines through your eyes!" he exclaimed.

"Uh, thanks," she smiled a bit.

"Now, to warm ups!" Lee shouted.

"UGH! " Erina grunted loudly.

"Come on, Erina-san, warm ups are youthful!"

"Okay."

The warm were hell for Erina. She had to run a lot, then had to do jumping jacks, and all of the things under the sun. She had begun to think her new sensei was sadistic, and cruel, underneath that mask of youthfulness. She swore, as she realised he was already rubbing off on her.

After that, it wasn't so bad. It was just aim work on the dummy, which she was best at. Lee had said she was very good at it. Even though, Erina, in the end, was just too tired to aim right, and ended up failing miserably, so Lee gave her a break.

"Lee-sensei, am I bad at this?" Erina asked.

"Of coarse not, Erina-san. You shall perfect this warm up in no time!" Lee answered, and it surprised her.

"Warm up?"

"Yes, this warm up is for gennin!"

"I thought I was doing Academy stuff," Erina exclaimed.

"Academy stuff is also a warm up for genin, and since you seemed to be having a hard time with the running I gave you aiming exercises."

"Oh... huh? I'm confused. Do Academy students not learn aim?"

"They do, but you were doing it differently! You were learning your own style, while Academy students learn styles, not of their own!"

"Oh. Okay, I get it. Will I learn these other styles?" Erina asked.

"Probably. I feel the need to teach you it, Erina-san. You may go home, now," Lee informed her.

"Thanks. See you, Lee-sensei," Erina began walking off as she heard Lee calling:

"Same time, same place tomorrow, Erina-san!"

"Okay, Lee-sensei,"

Yes, she was going to need a shower tonight, and was going to be really stiff tomorrow, but she was beginning to like her sensei, and her training. She could use optimistic characters, such as Lee in her life.


Me: That's that. Zzzzzzzzzz....

Naruto: Why would you pick bushy brows out of all people?

Me: 'Cause of Lee's youthfulness!!

Naruto: She scares me.

Me: Quiet you and hurry up and get into the story! Ugh! I'm doing a time skip next chapter. Sasuke.

Sasuke: What?

Me: You scared me last chapter on muse talk...

Sasuke: Hn

Kakashi: Review. Or she'll have no motivation. (Hint, hint)
