Hello People,

It has been a while.

To tell you all, I HAVE A NEW STORY! Mimic is its name and it's a self-insert of basically what someone would be like if you combines Jasmine and Lily. Then made them extremely blunt, lazy and sarcastic. Alice is a real bitch, but I love her! Mimic will be updated on Tuesday-Wednesday, but my surf season is nearly over so I could type more often. This story will be updated on weekends, huzzah!

Thanks to everyone who reviewed, I have over twenty reviews now !

So that's all I have to say.

Disclaimer: Naruto is currently dying so I am unable to contact him

Lily P.O.V.

I was so tired I could barely move.

After Anko had announced we were just getting started, everything just got painful and blurred together in a series of torture exercises.

It first started when I had to help Jasmine to dig herself out of the ground. My fingernails were cracked and bleeding from scratching at the dirt, my hands were also stuck in a claw gesture for an hour after. Anko, of course, ignored all pain we had and instantly engaged us in training.

Maybe it was because of the adrenaline rush from before, but I had seemed to have forgotten I was wearing weights. Awful, orange weights.

"Oh my fucking Kami," guffawed Jasmine, "you look like such a dork!"

I had to admit the bright orange arm and legwarmers did not go with my dirty blue school uniforms.

That didn't stop me from slugging the brat in her arm.

"SON OF A GUN!" Roared Jasmine as she grasped her left arm which I had just corked quite spectacularly if I do say myself. The foolish girl of course tried to retaliate, she jumped at me and we soon began an impromptu scuffle.

The weights on my arms and legs weighed me down though, so Jasmine was gaining the upper hand. We were grasping each other and using our legs to kick each other in the face. Just as my foot was about to claim victory in Jasmine's face, Anko grabbed both of us by the back of our shirts.

Hanging like meek kittens Anko brought us up to face her grinning face. "Since you guys seem to have so much energy," she licked her mouth, "we'll have to make you guys use those brain of yours."

She walked over to one of the several trees that surrounded the training grounds we were in. She dropped me on the ground and I tried my best to breathe after the air was pushed out of my chest. I glanced up to see Anko lashing Jasmine upside down to a tree branch with ninja wire.

I squeaked and tried my best to scramble away, but a hand grasped my arm. I shrieked and wriggled around, clawing at Anko's hand.

"Feisty," remarked Anko as she wriggled her eyebrows at me. "Your man will like that in bed," I could only glare at her as she immobilised my muscles with a tap on my neck. She even had the indecency to whistle as she lashed me next to Jasmine.

I could already feel the blood rush to my head as Anko stepped back and rummaged through her ninja pouch. She brought out a small book and waved it at us, "going to read us a bedtime story!" Called Jasmine cheekily, "I didn't even know you could actually read!"

She quickly stopped when a kunai sliced her cheek and imbedded itself in the branch next to her. I openly laughed at her petrified cheek, but I flinched when a kunai whizzed past and cut a bit of my hair. Staring at the floating white strands I realised Anko was definitely serious. This wasn't just a little spar at Muay Thai for fun, this was training to make you be able to kill. I snapped my gaze towards Anko and I saw her nod with approval. She flicked the book open, "this is the handy-dandy shinobi book."

"Is it really called that?" Asked Jasmine, Anko shrugged, "who knows and who cares." She threw another kunai near Jasmine's faces, "shut up Red!"

I moaned, "don't you dare start calling us those names!" Anko smirked at me, "I had an enlightening chat with your Asuma last night and he seemed glad enough to tell me about those precious names of yours!"

If I could, I would've crawled into a hole and died then, I hated those fucking names!

"First thing of being a shinobi is about meditating and finding your inner-self, chakra, blah, blah, blah!" Anko flipped through the book aimlessly, "you've already found your chakra so we can skip that!" She made a small noise, "well you can learn to control your emotion, but that is something you could do in your free time." She hummed as she flipped and skimmed over things, "we're definitely going to do stealth soon! My favourite!" I shuddered at the thought of what Anko's methods of learning stealth would be.

She suddenly exclaimed, "the shinobi rules, here we go!"

I scowled, the shinobi rules was a bunch of bullcrap that cost the life of the legendary White Fang. Fuck the rules, they didn't help anyone!

"I see that look Fang," spoke Anko, "the rules can save lives! You just need to decide what rules you will follow and believe in!" Her gaze bored into mine, "find what you believe in and make it your nindo!"

A small smile wormed across my face as I stared at the passionate woman in front of me, Anko wasn't the mindless snake lady so many people thought she was. She was an inspiration for all female ninja out there, a true kunoichi!

"Rule one," began Anko, "A shinobi must always hold allegiance to their kage." She glanced at us, "failure to fulfill this rule will definitely result in your death."

"Well I pledge my life to the Hokage and this village especially!" Yelled out Jasmine, "everything I do will be for this village and the people that live here. I will gladly lay down my life for anyone, civilian or ninja!"

I grinned at her, "I too pledge my life!"

Anko nodded, "we're getting somewhere at last!"

Thus began an hour of learning the shinobi rules and incorporating them into our nindo. Several I found disgusting and wrong, some I agreed with wholeheartedly. I wasn't lying when I said I would do anything for this village, the future will be better than the past. I believed in that!

Jasmine P.O.V.

Anko had finally cut us off the tree after Lily had passed out from the rush of blood going into her head. She was easily woken by the dumping of water on her, "payback's a bitch!" I choked out as I pointed at the dripping wet whitette.

Her answering growl was enough to shut me up, I didn't fear Anko as much as I feared Lily.

"No time for naps," chirped Anko, "it's time to learn your stealth!"

"That was so grammatically incorrect," deadpanned Lily. Anko turned to her with a twitching eye, "your face is grammatically incorrect Fang!" Lily fired up, "SHUT UP HAG!" Anko snarled and slammed her head against Lily's, "BRAT I'LL CALL YOU WHATEVER THE HELL I WANT! FANG!"

I quickly stepped in before stuff got out of hand, "calm yo tits ladies," I placated. Anko snapped her head towards me, "FUCK YOU RED!"

And with that, she picked me up and swung me over her head, before launching me towards the forest. I screamed as I flew through the air, but I still heard Anko's instructions, "YOU HAVE A MINUTE! HIDE AND SEEK COMMENCES!"

I cartwheeled through the air before I managed to get enough control to get into the skydiving position. That quickly failed when I flailed my arms as I fell downwards. "DAMMIT ANKO-SENSEEEIIIIII!" I covered my eyes and braised for impact, only to hit splash down.

I crawled my way to the top of the strangely thick water. Breaking the surface I gasped for breath, then choked at the horrific smell.

Spinning around as I treaded water, I realised I was in the middle of a stinky swamp. The swamp that Lily said Anko had used on her, NEARLY A KILOMETRE AWAY FROM THE TRAINING GROUNDS!

I groaned and wearily swam towards the shore, thankful for my many years of swimming lessons.

I dragged myself out of the disgusting water and lay on the muddy shore gasping for breath. I lay there quietly until...

"Hey Red," I bolted upright with a scream. I turned and glared at Anko who had snuck up on me, "dude I think my heart just killed itself!" She rolled her eyes before patting my back sympathetically. That quickly changed when the largest smirk I had seen her wear crept across her face. I felt my heart plummet at that sight, Anko waved a large remote in front of me with a big red button on it.

"Every time I see you," her finger hovered over the button, "this happens." She clicked it and I screamed as volts of electricity arced its way across me. It finally stopped after five extremely painful seconds.

"Word of advice," hummed Anko, "try to erase your scent better next time." She got up and covered her eyes, I stared blankly at her. "I'm counting Red!" She yelled, "move your ass!"

I have never hightailed it as fast as I did then.

Thus I spent nearly two hours of running and hiding. Also hearing the never ending..

"Fail gaki."

"Fail."

"Fail Red."

"Fail!"

"Fail!"

"FAIL!"

"Gah I can't take this anymore!" I flopped to the ground panting and occasionally spasming from left over electricity.

"Well you win Red," said Anko as she threw a slightly singed Lily next to me. I pointed at her, "what the hell happened to her?" Anko waved her hand dismissively, "misjudged a katon jutsu."

I stared incredulously at her, just misjudged a technique that could easily kill you. Ok then.

"You get a prize Red!" I perked up at that, a skin of water was being waved in front of me. I panted and I could feel my mouth dry up even more than it already was.

Anko threw the skin at me and I thirstily grabbed for it, pouring it down the throat I revelled at the cool sweetness. Only for it to stop. Puzzled I shook it, but no, Anko had only given me a tiny, itty-bitty dribble of water.

I threw the offending object at the bitch, but being the ninja she was, she caught it easily.

"My, my, temper," purred Anko as she kicked Lily. I rolled my eyes at her behaviour but that little bit of water had made me feel better.

Lily slowly got up and scowled at me, "lucky bitch! You don't have these stupid weights!" She gestured at bright offending items that clung innocently to her legs. A hand cracked her on the back of the head, "be grateful brat!" Scoffed Anko.

Lily smiled and clapped her hands together in a praying pose, "thank you Jashin-sama for creating such a disturbing creature as Gai-san! May his craziness never affect me, Amen." I snickered at her, "don't diss someone you don't understand." She simply leered at me, "I don't understand why his mentality is so low." She then looked thoughtful, "or how he's a sensei..."

"Bitch," I stated.

"That's nice and all," interrupted Anko, "but we're not done yet."

She grabbed both Lily and I before putting us into a lunge stretch, I could see Lily's face pale, "oh Jashin no," she mumbled.

I could feel Anko loom over us, "flexibility is an important part of being a kunoichi!" She began to push down on us slowly and steadily.

Our screams reverberated through the forest.

3rd Person P.O.V.

"Oh thank #%! Kami we finished training," sighed ino as she stretched her arms over her head.

Shikamaru shook his head at his teammates vulgar language, but continued to shuffle behind her.

"Ino you need to stop swearing like that," muttered Chouji through another packet of chips. Ino scoffed and flicked her non-existent hair, "I keep forgetting there's no hair to flick," she sighed sadly.

She suddenly perked up, "maybe Jasmine will let me do her hair again! She seemed really nice!" She looked troubled, "I wonder where her and Lily are? They were meant to come to our training today. Asuma-sensei said not to worry, but I can't help but wonder..."

"Speak of the devils and they shall come," remarked Shikamaru as he looked to the right.

The rest of Team Ten turned to see Lily and Jasmine come staggering along the road that connected to the road they were on. It was dark now and the girls looked like they had been rolling around in dirt all day.

Their once blue clothes were filthy and torn. The blue was now brown and it looked like Jasmine was missing a large portion of the bottom of her shirt, she also had a small cut on her face. Lily was no better. Her fingers had dried blood on them and she was shivering, Ino wasn't surprised since it looked like she was wet.

"What happened to you guys!" Called out Ino as she hurried over to the two exhausted girls, Jasmine raised her head and looked at Ino with heavily-lidded eyes. "Ino?" She mumbled and Ino caught her as she stumbled. The girl didn't look like she was going to get up anytime soon and when Ino raised her up, she was fast asleep.

Lily choked out a laugh next to her, "light weight!" She then swayed dangerously, but Chouji was there in an instant. "Thanks Cho," mumbled the whitette as she wormed her way into his arms. Chouji blushed at the informal tone and the way Lily had managed to curl up in his arms.

"Troublesome," groaned Shikamaru as he scratched his head.

Ino glared at him as she tried to get a good grip on the noodle-like girl that was asleep on her. Shikamaru ambled over and swung the surprisingly light Jasmine onto Ino's back. "Thanks Shika," smiled Ino as she began to walk down the road.

"Where are we going Ino?" Asked Chouji as he and his other male teammate followed the female. "I know where they live!" Was the answer they got.

"Creepy," muttered Chouji.

"I $%*&*^! heard that!"

Chouji wisely fell silent and followed his female teammate through the outskirts of Konoha. It would've been a bit strange if the civilians had seen three kid ninjas holding two unconscious, still-civilians.

They approached a large apartment complex that definitely looked familiar.

"Hey this is where Naruto lives," said Shikamaru as he studied the slightly rundown, but homey apartment block.

"How do you know that stalker?" Asked Ino over her shoulder as they went up the stairs. Shikamaru rolled his eyes, "how do you what number they're in?" Ino shrugged her shoulders and adjusted Jasmine, "annoyed Asuma-sensei until he told me."

They made it up to the third flight and walked down to where number 24 was meant to be. The door was a different colour to the rest of the apartments and looked freshly painted, there was also a note on the door.

"Brought up a futon and fixed your door for you. Hope you had a good day, Makoto." Shikamaru read off the note before shrugging and opening the unlocked door.

The room was small but homey, the whole place was open and had no doors. Either than where the bathroom was assumed to be. Ino approached the bed and futon that were side by side under a window in the corner.

"Bed's mine," slurred Lily from where she was in Chouji's arms.

Ino said nothing but let Chouji past to put the sleepy girl on the bed. He pulled a small blanket over her and patted her hand reassuringly. The girl managed a smile at him before she finally fell asleep.

Ino slowly lowered Jasmine off her back with the help of Shikamaru. The placed the girl on the futon and Ino proceeded to tuck the girl in with her threadbare blanket.

"Need to buy them new clothes and household things," whispered Ino absently as she pulled Jasmine's hair from under her head. She kissed the girl on the head and began to walk away.

"C'mon you guys," said Ino as she disappeared through the door. Chouji quickly followed but Shikamaru stayed back for a moment.

"I know your hiding something," he stated simply.

"And you'll never know," replied Lily as she snuggled deeper into her blanket. He simply nodded before going out and closing the door behind him.

Lily sighed and stared at the waning moon. The day had to be the longest she had ever gone through, and it was the first of many hard days to come.

I'll save everyone. I'll save everyone unlike I saved her...

She then let herself drop into the land of nod.

SHAZZAM!

Short but it finally wrapped up the very long day.

So Anko wants the girls to have their nindo and become great kunoichi, but she plans to get them there by causing them as much pain as possible.

Lily knows this isn't a game. Hates Gai's weirdness and has a secret.

Shikamaru is onto them.

Ino has a vulgar habit, but apparently has a heart.

Chouji gets flustered easily.

And Jasmine is a light weight.

Any questions just ask me. I really want someone to flame this story. I dunno why, but I feel like everyone is kind of like, 'this is nice and yeah.' Where's the hate?!

Anyway I'm out.
