That last chappy was actually, good. Um, if u r wondering why I don't have any reviews, it's bcause I had 2 remake my story. Ok, this chappy is going to b a short one because the exams r coming up. I'm adding a lot of change to the story line, but once it's exam time, everything will b almost normal again.

If my chappys r confusing, it's because they look one way offline, and another way online. I'll start using the line feature when I get 2 the exam section. Sorryz peepz

Disclaimer: Naruto is a fictional story dealing with ninjas. The setting is in Japan. How the BLEEP could I make a story about BLEEPIN' Japan when I'm too BLEEPIN' stupid when it comes 2 mother BLEEPIN FEUDAL JAPAN!?! I live in the BLEEPIN' U.S.!!!

Claimer: I'm not always like this. Usually, I'm eithr mad, random, or happy. When I bcome mad/random, KAPLOOWIE!!!

Chapter4: Blood, sweat, and tears prt 1

She stood there a little longer before realizing how late it was. 'I need to find an apartment. Crap!' She ran to the nearest apartment building. Little did she know, Naruto and Lee lived there as well. Naruto and Lee didn't even know that they lived in the same apartment. Well, Zakuro would be the one to find out.

"Hi, I need a room. How much is it?" The man at the counter looked at her strangely. He noticed her headband. "You aren't from here, are you?" "I'm not, but the third knows I'm here." "Hmmm…150,000 ryo." "Um, ok." She pulled out her wallet and gave him the amount he asked. 'Thank God I had that job for so long!' The man took the money, inspected it (like she'd counterfeit), and gave her a key. He also gave her a list of the special activity rooms. 'Great. A place to let off steam.'

Zakuro went to her room 1st. That's where she placed all of her belongings. Then, she went down to the second floor, and walked two doors down on the left. That's where the game room was. When she opened the door, she saw rookie9(Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura,(7) Kiba, Shino, Hinata(8) and Ino, Shikamru, Choji(10) ) 'These must be my allies. I see my team, so I guess I'll go over there.'

She started to walk towards Naruto and the others. Sasuke glared at her. 'Since when does she know about the rookie hideout?' "Hey Naruto-san, Sakura-Chan, Sasuke." She said with a genuine- but evil- smile. "Hey there, Kuro- Chan." Naruto and Sakura responded. Sasuke just turned the other way. That made Zakuro giggle evilly. Naruto and Sakura gave them both a face.( oO)

"Do you hate me Sasuke?" Zakuro asked, all too comfortably. "Of course." He said, turning back around revealing an evil smile of his own. "Wanna fight?" She questioned, anticipating the answer. "Of course." He responded. "Um, Zakuro, how did you know about the rookie hideout?" Zakuro turned to Sakura. "The man at the front desk gave me a list of the rooms after I checked in. Was this a 'secret' hideout?"

Sakura nodded her head and Naruto chuckled. "Hey, Kuro-Chan, I live here too! We could, like, hang out and stuff!" Naruto said. Zakuro smiled politely, although she wasn't too sure about hanging out with Naruto. 'He sure is hyper.' Her goody-goody smile was replaced with an evil one as soon as Sasuke opened his mouth. "Ready?" Sasuke asked, slightly amused. "Yep." They had just begun to walk out, when Kakashi came in. Zakuro and Sasuke stopped walking once they reached their sensei.

"Zakuro, you now have your own team." She looked up at the man in utter confusion. " I…do?" Kakashi smiled. "Yep. Alright boys, come on out." Suddenly, two boys appeared on either side of Kakashi. One boy had shoulder length, dark brown hair with golden highlights. His eyes were dark green. He had on a crimson red shirt and beige pants. His headband was on his head crookedly. He didn't have any weapons in site and as far as height, he came to Kakashi's shoulders.

The other boy had black hair pulled into a ponytail similar to Itachi's. (think Itachi with Sasuke's bangs) His headband was on his head also, but worn like Naruto's. He had purple eyes, and wore all black. (imagine Naruto's outfit without the decorations-and that includes the fuzzy thing!) He had bandages on his left knee and all of his weapons were on his back.

The first boy walked up to Zakuro. "Hey there ! I'm Arata. Nice to meet finally meet you." He smiled. Zakuro looked flustered. The second boy stood next to the first. He was taller than him by a couple of inches. " I'm Daiki. Remember that." He said, in a rather pushover manner. 'He must think he's the leader of us.' Zakuro thought. 'Isn't he in for a surprise!' Zakuro smiled-almost. "I'm guessing you know of me also, so I'm not going to give you an introduction." She said, almost taunting.

"You're forgetting something Zakuro," Kakashi reminded. He turned around and suddenly, a lot of water came splashing through the entrance. Then, a man appeared. He had a hidden leaf headband on his neck, which confused Zakuro. "How did he…" "Zakuro, meet your new sensei." "I'm Hayate." The tall man stood over her. He had a smooth voice and was probably in his mid twenties. His reddish- brown hair was pulled into a ponytail and his bangs-all brown- covered his gray eyes. He wore Asian-inspired robes in different shades of green. He had a belt similar to an obi tied around his waist. He wore the custom sandals. There were bandages around his right arm. When he walked up to Zakuro, he seemed to scare her. She jumped slightly when he tried to touch her. 'Why is he trying to pull a blade on me?! We just met, yet he's already slipping blades through his arm sleeve. What the hell!?!' He laughed at her actions, then he pulled out the blade. "You pass the first test- your teammates failed when I tried this on them." Both boys scoffed.

His smile was comforting. 'He reminds me of…Naruto.' She thought, smiling to herself. 'Ever since you left me, Naruto's been my closest friend…' "Hello, sensei." They smiled at each-other.

'He's the kind of friend who'll sick with me 'till the end.'

"Sensei, I want to talk to the rookies first, then I'll catch up with you. Ok?" "Sure."

'Though blood, sweat, and tears stain my pillow today,' Kakashi and Hayate walked out together. She smiled at the two older men. She finally had the father figure she wanted. 'It's pure friendship that dries the raindrops from yesterday.'

This is the end of part one. You're starting to see the nicer side of Zakuro, but it's only around Naruto(and her sensei(s)) that she's like that. Ppl like Daiki piss her off and she goes emo on us again. Sasuke doesn't have the same effect and u'll find out why n latr chappys. Btw: Sometimes, I update more than one chapter, so this story will go by pretty quickly. Also, I'm going to post at least two more stories this week.(around Saturday)

Ok, me luvz u, BYE-BYE! ;p
