Chapter 2: Teammates For Life
"Alright settle down and take a seat so we can get to who your teammates are going to be." Iruka-sensei instructed as he walked in. The air in the classroom was tense and could be cut with a knife as we all took our seats. I sat next to Shikamaru and Choji and Sasuke was stuck next to Sakura and Naruto.
It was the day after the genin exam and all of us had passed. Now we were anxiously waiting to see who we would get paired with. Would I be stuck with my brother? Or teamed up with Naruto? Maybe an all girl team? My thoughts were interrupted by Iruka-sensei.
"Now when your team is called please move to sit with them. Also one team will have four instead of three on it. Okay first up is Team seven!" Everyone sat at the edge of their seats waiting for Iruka-sensei to go on. Whispers around the room found most every girl except myself and Hinata Hyuuga wanting to be on Sasuke's team.
"Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto looked ready to explode with excitement.
"Sakura Haruno." Naruto jumped for joy to be on the same team as Sakura. The pink haired girl seemed to wilt.
"And Sasuke Uchiha." Sakura sprang back to life and cheered with happiness. Sasuke looked no different than usual.
"Iruka-sensei why does a great ninja like me have to be on a team with Sasuke!" Naruto yelled out loud.
"We had to pair the worst with the best to even the teams out, Naruto, you were the worst. Sasuke although not the best was second best so got teamed with you and Sakura." Naruto deflated and Sasuke bristled.
"Who was the best?" Sasuke demanded.
"Mina Uchiha." I stared at Iruka-sensei. I was the best out of the class? Heh Heh chew on that Sasuke!
"Alright moving on! Team Eight!"
"Hinata Hyuuga."
"Kiba Inuzuka."
"Shino Aburame."
"And Mina Uchiha." I stood up and moved my seat to sit next to between Shino and Kiba.
"Team Ten!" Iruka-sensei went on without pause.
"Ino Yamanaka.
"Choji Akimichi.
"And Shikamaru Nara."
Iruka-sensei went on until all the teams were called off, but I just tuned him out. I wondered who our Sensei would be. A girl or a boy? Were they good? Of course they had to be good but good at what I wonder…
"Alright Team Seven you are meeting Kakashi Hatake on the roof. Be ready to wait a while he has a knack for being late." The newly grouped team left to go meet their Sensei.
"Team Eight you are meeting Kurenai Yuhi at training ground six." We waited for Iruka-sensei to add something else like he had for team seven but when nothing came we all shrugged and left the class room.
"So anyone know where training ground six is?" Kiba asked as he folded his arms behind his head. Akamaru barked happily on top of his head. Hinata shook her head timidly and Shino remained silent.
"I do. We used to train there when we were little. I mean Sasuke and I did…" with that said I turned and led the way to training ground six. Once we got there we were surprised to see a beautiful woman sitting on a picnic blanket.
"Come sit down so we can get better acquainted. I am Kurenai Yuhi your genin instructor." We all sat down across from Kurenai-sensei. I sat next to Hinata and Shino while Kiba sat next to Hinata with Akamaru in his lap.
"Okay well I'll go first. I already told you my name so…um I like flowers and the color red. I dislike many things but don't worry about those. I am the genjutsu master in the village currently. I guess that is it. We'll start on the left moving to the right. Tell me your name, likes, dislikes, hopes and dreams and anything else you want."
"Uh well I'm Kiba Inuzuka and this is Akamaru my ninja dog. I like dogs and fighting with Akamaru. I dislike cats and school. I hope to become a great clan leader someday. Uh that's it." Kiba scratched his head then petted Akamaru who barked happily."
"I'm H-Hinata H-Hyuuga. I-I like c-cinnamon r-rolls and o-other s-sweet things. I-I dislike m-mean p-people and d-disappointing o-others. U-um…I-I hope t-to be a s-strong S-shinobi l-like m-my f-father a-and k-kind l-like m-my mother…." I never knew anybody could stutter that much. Apparently neither did anyone else because we all stared at Hinata for a moment.
"Urm I'm Mina Uchiha. I like cats, bugs, sweets things and flowers. I dislike my twin brother's attitude and his goal in life. I hope and dream for the day to come when I can have both my brothers back with me…" Shino had turned sharply to look at me when I said that I liked bugs and Kiba had growled at me for liking cats, but now they merely started at me as I fought tears from coming out.
"I am Shino Aburame. I like bugs and quiet places as well as the forest. I dislike speaking and some other things. I hope to become a strong clan leader." Short and to the point I liked that. Plus it gave me time to collect myself.
"Alright now meet me here tomorrow for you final test." We all stared confused at Kurenai-sensei.
"I get the final say in if you get to become genin or if you go back to the academy. Tomorrow is the day I test you to find out. So be here bright and early." With that Kurenai disappeared from sight.
"Uh now what?" Kiba voiced what we all were thinking. I thought about it then smiled brightly.
"Launch at my place? I'm a pretty good cook." Hinata and Shino nodded. Kiba sniffed the air near me and I looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
"You don't have cats do you? I can't smell one on you but better to ask…" I shook my head no and Kiba nodded looking relieved. So with that we all headed to my house which was at the edge of the Uchiha compound.
"Wow this place is huge!" Kiba looked around the empty streets of the compound as I walked up to my door. I turned around and looked at the houses that lined the streets. All empty. All blood stained. All broken.
"What happened?" I jumped and turned to Shino who stood beside me. I looked down then up at the sky.
"It's not a happy story." With that I turned and walked inside my empty house leaving the rest of my team to follow.
I walked into the kitchen and grabbed the stir fry pan and put it on the stove. I grabbed different veggies and put them on the cutting board as Shino, Hinata and Kiba walked into the kitchen. Kiba helped himself to a seat at the island in the middle of the kitchen. Hinata and Shino remained standing by the door way.
"You can have a seat. My house is your house as of today." I looked up and smiled kindly at my teammates. Hinata bowed blushing slightly but smiling none the less. Shino bowed as well but I couldn't tell if he was smiling or not.
"So what happened?" Kiba asked while stealing a baby carrot from my cutting board. I swatted his hand away and started cutting the veggies.
"Pork or chicken?" I asked going over to the fridge.
"Chicken." Shino and Kiba replied together. I looked at Hinata as she poked her fingers together.
"U-uh I-I'm terrible s-sorry Uchiha-san b-but I-I'm a v-vegetarian…" Hinata looked about ready to cry so I walked over and hugged her.
"That's ok I am one as well." I smiled at her as I walked back to the fridge and pulled out the chicken. "Oh and call me mina please. I don't like being called Uchiha-san or chan or anything else." I laughed as I spoke.
"If you're a vegetarian then why do you have meat in your fridge?" Kiba asked and Akamaru barked.
"I cook for Sasuke as well even though he doesn't live in this house with me…" I said as I chopped up the chicken and put it in a different pan on the stove. There was quiet as I stirred the chicken and added the veggies to the stir fry pan.
Soon launch was ready with Hinata and me having only veggie stir fry and the boys chicken stir fry. We all sat at the dining room table eating in a silence I knew Kiba would break.
"So why don't you and Sasuke live together? I mean you guys are twins after all." I sighed and set down my chop sticks. Shino elbowed Kiba in the ribs when I sighed.
"Ow the hell man?" Kiba complained while holding his side and glaring at Shino.
"You ask to many questions." Kiba glared at Shino and was about to say something when I cut him off.
"It's because of that night." All eyes turned and stared at me. I looked at the table as I began my tale.
[Third Person P.O.V]
"It's because of that night." Shino, Hinata and Kiba all turned to look at their teammate. Mina was looking at the table, her eyes seemed to darken to an impossible black color.
"The Uchiha massacre that is. Sasuke and I were the only survivors of that night. We watched our clan fall one by one. No one stood a chance against him. Not even Mother or Father. Yet he didn't kill us. No he did far worse. He let us live after he tortured us with visions of each member of our clan falling to his blade. Sasuke tried to ask why. All he received was a lie. A lie he believes. A lie I do not believe."
Silence over took the house as the three team members each looked at the other then back to Mina. She looked broken and alone sitting on the other side of the table. One could almost see the ghosts of that night haunting her.
"Who was responsible for the massacre?" Again Kiba was elbowed by Shino for asking something he shouldn't, but he just had to know. Mina looked up at them with hallow onyx eyes.
"My older brother. Itachi Uchiha."
