"Now, why don't you introduce yourselves." Kakashi told us, although it was phrased like a question.
"Eh? What do you mean?" I inquired.
The man gave an an eye smile that probably said 'why-did-I-get-paired-with-such-idiots' and spoke, his voice taking on a lazy and tired tone (when does he not talk like that?) "Things you like, things you hate. Hobbies, dreams for the future. Things like that." I knew he'd rather be anywhere but here.
"Well, why don't you go first so we can see how it works Sensei." Naruto said rather loudly. I winced due to the fact that he screamed right in my fucking ear.
"Me? Im Kakashi Hatake. Things I like, and things I hate. I don't feel like telling you that. Dreams for the future? Never really thought about it. As for my hobbies, I have lots of them." He disclosed thoughtfully. I snickered and stretched out, already tired of this even though I was meeting probably one of the hottest Sensei's to ever live. I mean honestly, look at those legs.
"Okay. Your turn. You on the right, you first." He said, looking at Naruto.
While he gave his introduction, I had to give a bit of thought to mine. "We so have to make Kakashi squirm." Inner snickered.
'Hell yeah, but how?'
"Hell if I know. Just say something perverted."
I had little to no time to think about this before Kakashi spoke up.
"You, in the middle, go."
I nodded, and looked Kakashi right in the eye when I spoke. "I'm Sakura Haruno. I like sleeping and dogs. I dislike liars and being in the heat. I don't really have any hobbies, and my goal is to become more perverted than Jiraiya-Sama!" I said, and I watched as Kakashi shifted uncomfortably. Honestly, I didn't really think that it would work due to the fact that what I said wasn't perverted at all, but I guess I was wrong.
"W-what?" He asked and I giggled.
"I want to become more perverted than Jiraiya-sama, you know, the guy who wrote the Icha Icha series and is one of the legendary Sannin. I mean, you read his books all the time, don't you sensei?" I said in a 'how-dumb-can-you-be' tone. He cleared his throat awkwardly and promptly turned to McBrooderson, ignoring me. Which meant one thing: I had succeeded. I mentally cheered as he spoke, "Well then, I guess it's you next." He pointed out to Sasuke. The young Uchiha scoffed.
"I am Sasuke Uchiha. I hate a lot of things, and I don't particularly like anything. My dream is going to become a reality someday, and it is to restore my clan and kill a certain someone." He pledged and everyone was silent.
"Geez, aren't you the dramatic one?" I snickered. He glared at me and then turned back to Kakashi. I snorted and did the same. Finally, we were told about what to do tomorrow and where to go for our survival test and we were all dismissed.
"C'mon, Naruto! Let's go get that ramen!" I called. Happily, he ran up to me and he honestly reminded me of a little ball of energy and sunshine. "Oi, Uchiha, you wanna join?" I called back, but received no reply. Shrugging it off, we headed to the Ichiraku ramen stand and both ordered his usual.
"Sakura, it's weird having you be nice to me." Naruto mentioned after we were finished eating. I raised an eyebrow at him and smirked.
"Oh? Would you like me to start being mean again?" I asked jokingly, ruffling his hair.
"No! No, it's just weird. You used to love Sasuke and now you barely spare him a glance." He continued curiously, and, I believe, a bit cautiously, too.
I smiled at his pure adorableness. "Don't worry about it. I only realized that I didn't need a guy like that in my life, that's all little fox." I cooed and stood, leaving the money for our ramen on the counter. He blushed and smiled widely, and I returned said smile.
"I've gotta go, but remember to eat tomorrow no matter what Kakashi says, okay?" I said before sprinting off into the night, my shopping bags from earlier in hand, the sound of their crinkling plastic filling the quiet that once resided in the peaceful setting. I laughed loudly as I could hear the faint shouting of a particular blonde behind me.
ಠ_ಠ
I groaned and flopped back on my bed. Now that I had nothing to do, other than think that is, I was going to have to deal with the main problem at hand.
'If I'm here, then I'm obviously here for a reason, right?' I thought, jumping headfirst into the task at hand.
"..Yeah. What're you getting at?"
I sat up, a thoughtful look on my face. 'Well. If I'm here for a reason, then maybe that reason is to change things here for the better!'
Inner snorted. "Whaddah mean by that?"
I rolled my eyes. 'I mean, what if I make myself useful, start honing my skills now so I can actually help in future battles? Or, better yet, the Chunin Exams? Hell, maybe I can even prevent a few deaths and possibly even the Fourth Shinobi World War!'
My heart started racing with excitement at this. If I could do that, then maybe half of the bad stuff wouldn't happen? If I could possibly, and this is a big if, change the course of time just enough then maybe I could fix all the bad things that were supposed to happen?
Maybe I could stop the heartache from happening before it even begins.
But to do that, first I would need to be stronger. Now, I remember reading about Sakuras chakra nature at some point back in my previous life because I had actually wondered if anyone knew. She has Earth and Water affinities, and I would start with Water first. I would also have to start with medical training, too, because let's face it: if we don't have any medical knowledge on our team whatsoever, then I don't know if I'll be able to handle myself at all. I'd probably end up dying by tripping over a rock or something. I'll also have to find someone to train with, because I'm not sure that Team 7 originally does any training together in canon (other than on the wave mission, but even that mainly consisted of just Naruto and Sasuke). Maybe I can convince Kakashi-Sensei to train us some. Or bribe. Bribe sounds like a good option.
I sighed and closed my eyes. I'll figure this out tomorrow, if anything. Jashin knows I'll have the time. Hell, maybe I can get my books before the 'Survival Test' even begins.
Probably.
I smile to myself at that, and happily drift off into dreamland.
I must have missed it when Inner muttered something along the lines of "Yeah, good luck with that, kid."

When I woke up the next morning, the house was empty. I assumed my parents had gone off to work, which didn't bother me in the slightest. Tiredly, I stood and got dressed for the day, my new clothes fitting me wonderfully. My hair was back in a ponytail, and I had a huge bag slung over my shoulder. It contained nothing but three bento boxes, but soon I would make sure it was weighed down with books.
As I made my way to the library, I noted how early it was. 'Would it even be open at this time..?' I questioned myself.
"Yeah, of course. That thing is open from around six am to six pm, no biggie." Inner told me and I smiled. At least I'll have something to do while waiting for Kakashi.
Yawning, I made my way into the gigantic library. Quickly, I went back into the Genin section and got out all I could on chakra control, taijutsu, ninjutsu, water ninjutsu, and medical ninjutsu. Then, I left for the training grounds.
ಠ_ಠ
Naruto and Sasuke were fighting when I arrived. Kakashi was still nowhere in sight, and it was just waaaaay too early for this shit. "Oi! Break it up, its too early for you to be fighting like the married couple I know you want to be, okay? Save it for when I'm not here." I barked while throwing the bento boxes at them. "Now, eat. He's not gonna be here for a while." Naruto spluttered at my statement, and duckling just stared at the bento-box apathetically.
"But, Kakashi Sensei said not to eat, Sakura!" Naruto protested. I held up my hand to shush him.
"Remember what I told you yesterday? I said to eat regardless of what sensei says. So eat. Now. Or I will shove it down your throat." I growl, and he obeys, gulping loudly and looking terrified. Sasuke, however, tried to give me back the food, so finally I get an idea and take it.
"You asked for it, pretty boy." I snarl before tackling him to the ground. He looks at me, shocked, and I smirked.
"Now, open wide-!" I sing before promptly shoving food into his mouth and forcing him to swallow. Bite after bite he took, and Naruto watched us with a look of horrified amusement on his face. Once all of the food was gone, I happily got off of him and put away the empty bento boxes, pulling out a scroll on chakra control.
After that time seemed to go on pretty quickly. It seemed like no time before Kakashi showed up, giving the black cat excuse.
I smirked and stood, stretching and smiling at the satisfying 'pop' my bones gave. "This," Kakashi said, holding up an alarm clock. "Is set to noon. You have until then to get these bells. But, since there are only two, one of you will fail and be sent back to the Academy. If all three of you fail, however, I will tie you to those posts and eat my lunch in front of you. Your mission begins...now." He stated. I smirked, glad that I had made them eat.
Immediately, I scurried off to find a good seat for what was about to happen. I settled for a branch pretty high up, and got comfortable for the show. Naruto stood in a clearing, and I knew he was challenging Kakashi already.
I didn't even have to hear them to know what they were saying.
Next thing I knew, Naruto was running full speed at the Jonin, who had just pulled out his, for lack of a better term, porn book. Only three moves into his attack and Kakashi was behind him. I had a hard time holding in my giggles at this point, because I knew what was going to happen. In less than a second, Kakashi's fingers were up Naruto's ass and he was flying through the air.
Needless to say, I burst out in laughter.
In less than a second he was behind me. "You gave away your position." He whispered behind me, and I stood, still laughing. "A-and you m-m-molested a k-kid, what's your p-p-point?" I retorted. He sweatdropped at that while my laughs grew louder and more persistent.
"I assure you, I'm no rapist." He gave me an eye smile, probably saying 'I'm-gonna-get-revenge-for-that-later'.
"Oh, hon, coming from you? That's not rape. That's just a good time." I teased before winking and back-flipping off the branch like the bad ass motherfucker that I am.
Sad that I didn't even stay for his reaction. I sighed, running to find a new hiding place. I stopped, looking through some bushes at Kakashi and his book.
Oh no.
Oh no.
I wonder what the genjutsu will look like now that I don't like Sasuke anymore..? At least I won't have to wait long to find out. He should be appearing right about..now.
"Sakura, behind you." He murmured, and I turned. "Hey there buddy. Genjutsu or ninjutsu?" I inquired.
"Genjutsu." He replied, a touch of amusement in his voice. "Good, I suck at ninjutsu. Sasukes your guy for that."
He chuckled and gave me an eye-smile, doing the handsign for the genjutsu.
"Welp, see you when it's over!" I said while waving as leaves surrounded me.
I stood and stared, the scene very familiar around me. It was the same genjutsu that he had put canon Sakura in, and I wasn't impressed in the slightest. I didn't even have a crush on him anymore! "Sakura..S-Sakura help me.." Sasuke pleaded.
"You're gonna have to beg for it~" I sung, dancing around his (fake) dying body. "Kakashi~ Is there another you in this genjutsu, too?" I called out, getting no reply.
"Let's hope, for your sake my friend, that there isn't." I said with a wink, hoping that this would get him to let me out of the jutsu.
It did.
Smiling triumphantly, I calmly walked around in search of Sasuke. Hearing muffled grunts (and ignoring the images that popped into my head at that moment) I followed the noise and found said emo buried beneath the earth (save his head) and I smirked. Plopping down in front of the trapped boy, I beamed as he gave me another one of his infamous apathetic looks. "Need help there, little Uchiha?" I cooed. He grunted in response.
I took it as a yes.
So, standing above the immobilized boy, I thought. I couldn't use explosive tags, that would injure him no doubt, and I had no time to actually dig him out. I had one other option, but that was a risk. I didn't know any earth ninjutsu whatsoever, but I could damn well try with something. I thought for a moment, before a very interesting and possibly dangerous for a certain 'Uchiha prodigy' idea came to my head."You know, you're a very lucky boy. This is the first time I'll ever try this," I divulged. He stared up at me, a mix of confusion and the ever so slight hint of fear defining his features.
I smirked before placing my hands on the ground just beside Sasuke and pushed my chakra into the earth below. 'Please let this work...' I thought to myself, and smiled as the exact thing I was hoping to happen, did.
Sasuke shot out of the ground like a cannon, a pillar of earth now where he once was. I fell to the ground, howling with laughter. That is, until I realized something.
I forgot to take into account that he would be coming back down, too.
Sadly, I had realized that crucial fact far too late, and the boy crashed into me. I let out a choking sound as he made impact, the sheer force of it creating a crater around us.
When he got off of me, I rolled over and puked out my breakfast. "That coulda been a lot worse on your end, my dear." I managed to wheeze out in-between retching. The entire time, that wretched child stood above and smirked.
He was lucky I couldn't stop puking.
ಠ_ಠ
All too soon, it was noon. I knew the challenge was teamwork, but if I'm being honest, I just wanted to get tied up by Kakashi.
So, as soon as he had said he was going to tie my darling little Naruto up, I just had to stop it.
"I volunteer as tribute!!" I shouted, the noise echoing around us.
"What." Kakashi sweatdropped. "Tie me up instead." I stated, staring him in the eye.
He smiled (at least I thought so) and spoke, "While I appreciate the, er, sacrifice in your comrades behalf, I cannot allow it." He stated firmly and I snorted.
"It's not so much for him as it is for me, Sensei." I drawled, winking in the process. "You see, I'm quite ki-" I was cut off by Kakshis hand.
Needless to say, I was tied and gagged, and not in the good way.
ಠ_ಠ
It had been nearly ten minutes since I was bound to the post, and I think my arms were getting rope burn. I didn't mind it, but I knew it was gonna be irritating later on.
Naruto and Sasuke kept looking up at me while eating their food. Eventually Naruto offered to feed me, and I accepted (even though I wasn't hungry at all, but I knew it would progress the story-line) and as soon as he began, all hell seemed to break loose. The clouds swirled and thunder was heard, and Kakashi was in front of us in an instant. "YOU!!" He howled.
"Yes, me." I said a bit bored.
"You broke the rules, and now you will face the punishment. Any last words?" He said. "Suigetsu-sama, I will never forget you!" I shouted and inwardly giggled at their exasperated expressions. Both Naruto and Sasuke looked ready for a fight, their stances stiff and determined. "You said this was a teamwork exercise, yeah? Well we weren't gonna let Sakura starve just because you told us to! She's our teammate, after all." Naruto said (more like shouted, but whatever).
Kakashi came closer and got in his face. "She's your teammate? That's your excuse?" He growled. Naruto nodded, a new found passion in his eyes. Kakashi eye-smiled. "You pass." He chirped, his demeanor changing completely. I snorted.
Confusion took over Narutos features, while Sasukes' stayed apathetic (although I could see the confusion in his eyes). "W-what?" Naruto asked.
"You pass! Everyone else followed my orders, but you didn't! They fell into every single trap I lied out, and couldn't think for themselves." He stated simply, his stance now casual. Itachis mini-me just smirked and Naruto was simply ecstatic. The kid had tears in his eyes, for Jashin sake. I cleared my throat and all eyes landed on me.
"Yes, that's wonderful and all but, think you could untie me? I'd rather not be here all day; I have training to attend to." I interrupted casually and Naruto immediately sliced the ropes with a kunai.
"Thank you, little fox." I purred sweetly, and Kakashi stiffened a bit at that. Smiling sweetly, I grabbed my bag and started leaving. "See you tomorrow, guys!" I called back.
Maybe I could do this, after all.
