Aalright.. Dear Diary.. :)

Thanks for review, you who reviewed. :)

Hehe - my cousing read this, and since she needed help with English, I was going trough it with her. We managed the first chapter. :D If you guys remember it, she made few mistakes, which sent me to a laughing fit.

"Their sensei upon seeing them took few steps from his tree" she translated as "Their sensei made a tap-dance on the tree" and I made the mistake of trying to imagine that. :D

And second, the sentence ""I was sleeping by Iruka's.." he explained." she mistook with ""I was sleeping with Iruka"" which I am writting just to tell you, that even while I do not oppose of shounen-ai, this is not going to be one.
And even if it was, I dont really ship Iruka with Hayate, so..

Enjoy the story.

Oh, forgot to say: I have finally gotten over the Drrr high, so I am almost normal now.
Listening to: Greenday - Are We The Waiting

Anko was lazily walking towards her part of the training field, closer to their flag and – probably – closer to her teammates. She needed a task.

Unfortunately, she didn't really feel anyone – her chakra control wasn't good enough, yet.

Iruka is probably still playing with the traps, he will be close.. she thought to herself, checking the area around her for any signs of her friend.

She halted somewhere she assumed was the board of their and enemy area. I don't really want to stumble on any of Iruka's trap, though.. Anko chuckled.

Just when she was thinking about what could she possibly do, loud whistle interrupted the calm silence of forest.

Speak of the devil.. She channeled small amount of chakra to her fingers and toes, before pushing it from her, into the ground and into the air, just like Iruka had told them all to do, when they hear him.

Anko changed her direction and went towards where she heard the whistle – not that Iruka would stay there, now that he had alerted everyone to his location, but it will help her with finding someone.

Iruka laid both of his hands on the ground, concentrating on the chakra energy streaming around him, under him and in him. He didn't waste time trying to recognize each and every chakra pattern he felt, he just pushed them towards the closest trap of his. He added his own chakra carefully.

The trap made soft clicking noise and Iruka sighed in relief. Now the traps won't react to them.

The brown-haired teen titled his head. He was listening.

Guess no one was curious enough to go and investigate. Iruka grinned to himself, before deciding to change his location, anyway. One peek at their flag wouldn't hurt him, and he could make sure no one got trough.

Not really far away from the scared genin, one older jounin looked sharply towards the source of the noise. He crouched down at the base of a tree hiding in it's shadow and moved his senbon from right side of his mouth to left.

A trap.

He bit hard on the senbon almost hurting his lip. His eyes were lidded, he was thinking.

Need a comrade.

Genma took a deep breath before searching the forest for the chakra signature of his friend. Good, Raido wasn't far away from him – he was, actually running right into him. That was good, Genma could wait.

Namiashi Raido liked to think that he had a good sense of deduction. However, in the moment he heard the whistle and knew it went from the enemy, he didn't know what to think.

Yes, now he knew where the enemy is, so he could as well go there and tag him. However, his enemy wasn't stupid enough to turn the attention towards their flag, so he was probably at the very opposite side of their area, than the base was.

Logically, he should go far away and search for the flag. But.. that was probably the thing they wanted all along.

So he took a calming breath and stalked towards the place where the whistle came from. He stopped for a moment, just to think about it. He smiled. It wasn't war. He can as well stop thinking about the strategy and play.

He was confused. One moment he had been running after the thief and the next, the green monster disappeared from his sight. And he wasn't able to find a single trace of him.

Hatake Kakashi, the legendary copy-nin, lost track of his enemy in his own village.

He sighed. Sometimes he hated his own reputation.

Damnit. Why did he steal me my book? I don't really care about him now, I will find him later, after the game is over.. And if not, I will just have few days of piece without his absurd challenges.

The jounin managed to smile. It didn't sound so bad, after all. He didn't even care where he was going, just wandering around, thinking. He stopped death on his track, as he spotted something blue just in front of him.

What the.. is this their flag? He looked wide-eyed down to the ground and saw a chakra line just about thirty steps in front of him. Heh. It is, isn't it. He wanted to laugh. He – who didn't even want to play, instead just lay down and read – had found the flag.

Looks like I get to play, aft – loud whistling noise interrupted his musings and he instinctively covered his ears. He blinked and looked around trying to decipher the reason behind it. Yes, he could feel the chakra surfaces raising and calming back down, but he didn't know why.

Kakashi raised his hand and tentatively touched his hitai-ate. Should I..? He shrugged and moved the clothing away, feeling his chakra circling inside of him, spiraling and flaring.

He closed his right eye concentrating only on the sharingan and took a look around.

There – all around him were chakra wires and spots where the energy was stronger. Traps. He smiled. And good ones, at that.

He spotted one of them just two steps in front of him. Looks like the whole area is trapped now.. It had to cost lot of chakra to make them all work..

Kakashi jumped to a tree when he heard soft steps, leaning against it with his back and carefully avoiding any traps. He moved a bit so he would be all covered with a shadow. He waited for the person to come closer before he would attack.

Hayate was laughing hard. He had heard Iruka's signal and of course answered it with his chakra, but then he decided to go take a look if some enemy had got the great idea of investigating. He had aimed his steps towards the area and almost stumbled over Kotetsu.

Who wouldn't? The other genin had been just laying there, not even moving. Hayate had crouched beside him, hitting him over head.

"What are you doing here?" he had asked, not really expecting any intelligent reply.

"We are close to the boarders, Izumo went inside and I told him I will try and wait here for him." the genin had whispered and that was the time Hayate had started laughing.

"C'mooon.. Let's go fight." he said instead of explaining his laughing fit and nudged his friend. He wasn't going to let him just wait there. They were going to fight, and they were going now.

Laying and waiting won't end any war, Hayate knew it – and knew, that Iruka knew that, too.

They were, after all Ibiki's followers.

Short, I know. Thats the idea.

Be nice and review, reading a feedback can fully change my mood. To the better. :)

See you tomorrow, I hope.
