Chapter One: The Rookie Nine

51/2 years later

Konoha Hospital

Sakura's POV

Sakura sighed as she glanced out the window of the hospital room that she was working in. Today had been a stressful day. No less than 5 genin teams had come in needing some type of medical attention. Most of the staff had the day off, celebrating with their lovers or significant other. She had offered to cover Shizune's shift today so that she could be with Genma.

Yeah, Sakura had been a little surprised with that one too, but hey, whatever made the medi-nin happy. For some off reason, Sakura had thought that the shy young medi-nin would end up with Kakashi or even the academy teacher, Iruka.

Shizune had had crushes on the two men for years. And Genma? Sakura had thought that he liked the ramen stand girl, what was her name? Ayame that was it. But to everyone's surprise, Genma had asked the dark-haired medi-nin out after a rather taxing mission one day, and they had been virtually inseparable ever since.

Back on topic, the reason Sakura could cover Shizune's shift on a day such as Valentine's Day…Well, Sakura's sweetheart was away on a mission, and wouldn't return for at least three more days…She sighed again, this was not how she had planned on her life to be right now. Oh well here comes another genin team, some days it doesn't pay to be the Hokage's apprentice back to work I go.

---------SCENE CHANGE----------

Ino POV

Ino was walking towards the hospital hoping Sakura's shift was over. What shall I do today? I was hoping that Shikamaru and I would go out today but no he has to be with Sand tramp preparing for the up coming Chunin Exam. He's probably making out with her or…let's not go there. Yes that's right she had a crush on Shikamaru. Lets see what Sakura is doing right now. Hopefully we can have some fun.

Third Person POV

Sakura looks up from the front desk to see Ino walk in. "Ino what are you doing here? You know I don't have today off."

"What? You don't have any free time today?" Ino asks.

"I wish, I took Shizune's shift today so she and Genma could spend today together. Along with my original shift I don't get out till 3a.m." Sakura answered.

"Why did you do that? Didn't you plan to spend the day with Shino?" she asked.

"Shino is on a mission and won't be back for three more days." Sakura said.

"Speaking of Shino why did you two hook up?" Ino asked curiously, "That's one that I still can't figure out."

"I was having a bad week. I couldn't perform some medical jutsu correctly, and was feeling down. He was around and I asked him if he could help I—"

"Why did you ask him for help? It's not like he could help, he has absolutely no training with medical jutsu."

"If you didn't interrupt me you would know. Now like I was saying I wasn't expecting him to answer, but he did and asked me to show him the jutsu. I did and he was rather helpful, and since then we just get together and talk about stuff it just escalated from there." Sakura finished.

"Well love to and chat some more, but…."

"Ya ya, you gotta go. Thanks for stopping by at least, see you around Ino-Pig."

"See you around Forehead-Girl." Ino says walking out the door.

-----------SCENE CHANGE--------

Kiba POV

"Kiba wake up….Kiba if you don't wake up now I'm going to burn your 'secret' stash of Icha Icha Paradise" threatened Hana. Kiba raced out of bed as fast as he could. Raced down the stairs ate his breakfast in 10 seconds flat.

Man what's her problem? "What's your problem" Kiba asked.

"I have to 'train' my Genin team today so hurry it up, and if you have a problem with it maybe you should get an apartment." Hana exclaimed.

"Why pay for an apartment when I can have a free room here?" Kiba answered.

"Whatever, I have to go now or I'll be late meeting my new squad." Hana sighed.

"If you complain about having taken the time to train new shinobi. Why did you do it?" asks a confused Kibe.

"I lost a bet" she answers.

"You lost a bet?" Kiba asks while trying not to laugh.

"Hey do you want to have kids Kiba-kuuuuunnn." Hana says while waving a large knife around threatening.

"Well gotta go bye" Kiba says while hurrying out the door. Safe, Kiba thinks when suddenly a kunai goes past him cutting his left cheek, barely missing anything vital to his face. Run for it. He thinks while increasing his pace.

---------SCENE CHANGE-------

Third Person POV

Kiba and Akamaru were running along the rooftops when they saw Choji. "Hey Choji what's up?" asked Kiba.

"Oh hi Kiba I'm going to Ichiraku," Choji answers while smiling.

"Oh going to see Ayame are you?" Kiba asks playfully. Choji blushes at this.

"W-Wh-Why w-would y-y-you say something like that, Kiba?" Choji stutters. Kiba just smirks at the reply.

"I don't know maybe cause you llllllooooooooooovvvvvvvvvvveeee her, hm?" Kiba says. Choji's face has a similar appearance to a tomato. "Why else would you have flowers, candy, and what's this?" Kiba asks while taking two tickets from Choji. "Two tickets to 'Away from Me'. You dog you, Choji. Setting up the mood, eh? Hoping for a little time alone in a room maybe?" Choji is about to explode when Kiba gets smashed into a wall.

"Don't be applying anything to him Kiba-kuuun, he's not like you." Says a smirking Hana. Kiba shakily gets up.

"Don't you have a team to 'train'?" Kiba moans. Hana tosses him a key chain with keys on it.

"You forgot your keys brother of mine. Wouldn't want you to get stuck outside now would we?" answers a grinning Hana. "See ya Choji have a good time with your girlfriend. Later Kiba, like you said I have a team to 'train'." Hana says while throwing Kiba into an all kunoichi bath house laughing at the sounds of pain coming from said bathhouse before taking off to the designated meeting area.

I will never bet anything against Anko again. Scratch that, I will never laugh at her when she is given a genin team and then agree to a bet. Hana muttered to herself in her mind as she stalked off. Her previous good mood brought on by hearing her darling younger brother beaten into a bloody pulp evaporating as her mind returned to the matter at hand.

A/N: Well how was that that took me some time to do. Hope you like it.

Oh and if you're wondering who will be paired with Naruto I'll let you guys decide. Any girl except Hinata.

Ja Ne
