Chapter 9- Our Interesting Team...

Evelyn's POV

I looked over at Naruto and giggled. He face was covered with bruises and bumps from the attack of the vicious, cruel, blood craving monster fangirls that lurk in the shadows. Well they didn't really lurk in the shadows, but still. Of course I tried to help him escape their evil clutches but I am merely just a girl. There is only so much I can handle. I beat up like half of them but they just kept coming and coming like viruses. I was out numbered damn it! I swear it was like the whole freakin' population of fan girls. So to round it off, A LOT!

"As of today, you are all ninjas. To get here, you faced difficult trials and hardships. But that's nothing, what comes next will be far more difficult. Now you are only genin, first level ninjas. All the genin will be grouped into four man squads. Each squad will he led by a jonin, an elite ninja," Iruka explained.

After he said that, Naruto and all the girls minus me, of course, Emily and Katie's heads perked up. I'm guessing this means they have a chance to be on, wait for it, *fangirl scream* 3 Sasuke's 3 *dreamy sigh*, team. Excluding Hinata or course. The cute little Hyuga wants to be with Naruto.

I really don't care what team I'm gonna be stuck with for my whole freakin' life. As long as I don't get Sasuke...or Sakura...or Ino...or Shino. OMFG that guy freaks me out. HIS WHOLE FREAKIN' BODY IS A NEST FOR BUGS! HE PRACTICALLY LIVES AND BREATHES BUGS! I try to suppress a shiver.

Anyway, hopefully I get to be on my homies' team. Yes. I just used the word 'homie'. I make it sound epic. Yo what's shakin' homie?! Word! LOL just kidding. But sersously. Watch as I deminstrate...

"Hey Naruto!"

Naruto's head perked up and looked at me with his eyes squinted. ITS THE ASIAN WAY! "Huh?"

"Yo what's shakin' homie?!" I ask with a goofy smile holding up a peace sign.

He sweat drops. "Uhhhh..."

See?! He was speechless! I'm awesome aren't I?! That was my amazing attempt to be cool. You know what?! Screw dat! I'm naturally cool!

"I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Shesh. You remind me of this guy I met at the gas station. Except you're not holding a gun..."

We stopped talking and our heads snapped back to the front of the room where he was still talking. "We want each squad to have a balance of strength and that's how we set them up. I will now announce the squads..."

Finally! I'm dying to know! I wonder who I'll be...

"Squad 7: (suspenseful moment of complete silence) Naruto Uzukami..." Naruto's head shot up in curiosity.

"...Sakura Haruno..." With that being said, Sakura's eyes widen in horror and slammed her head on the table while Naruto jumped for joy.

"...Sasuke Uchiha..." Now it was Sakura's turn to cheer, rubbing it into Ino's face while Naruto started sulking.

"...and..."

There was another moment of silence. All the girls leaning forward on their chairs hoping that the next name he calls will be theirs'.

"...Evelyn!" He said making my eyes widen.

All the fan girls start sulking and Hinata to give a small but sweet smile. Emily and Katie on the other hand was unaffected by the choice and gave me a supporting smile.

You're kidding. Two out of three people in my squad are people that I hate. Well at least I have Naruto, I thought, giving him a high-five.

"Next squad... Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame... and Emily"

Kiba turns to Emily and gives her a smirk.

"Looks like you're on my team." *bark* *bark* Causing Emily to blush but casually brush it off.

"It seems so. Watch me be the strongest person on the team," she returned the smirk.

"Oh you wish... Me and Akamaru will easily wipe the floor with you!"

"In your dreams!"

"Every night!"

"Is that so? Then I guess it's a lie when they say that dreams do come true..." Emily said. They give each other a playful rivalry glare.

KYAAAA! I FEEL SPARKS FLY!

I snap out of it to hear Ino and Shikamaru arguing. "...I'd hate to be on your squad!" Ino said casually flipping her hair.

"Team 10: Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara..." Iruka said causing him to give her a mocking smirk making her huff and turn away from him. "...Choji Akimichi, and... Katie..." Katie to blushed in embarrassment.

"So those are all the squads," he finished.

"Iruka Sensei, why does an awesome ninja like me, have to be in a group with a slug like Sasuke?!" Naruto whines causing Sakura to get an anger mark. Has anyone ever told her she looks ugly with it?! Of course she looks ugly on a regular basis but this is just too much!

"Well Naruto, Sasuke has the best scores out of all the graduating students..."

What am I? Chop liver? Even if I was some disgusting kind of chopped meat, why on Erf would I be chopped liver?! I gave Iruka an look that clearly said 'Well I'm offended' which he just ignored.

"Naruto, you have the worst scores," he continued making people all over the room to snicker. "To create a balance, we put the best student with the worst student." he finished.

Naruto growled in frustration. "Just make sure you don't get in my way..." Sasuke said.

"But hopefully a car would..." I said loud enough for Sasuke and his fangirls to glare at me and Naruto and the guys to chuckle. I give Sasuke an innocent smile.

Iruka, being an awesome teacher he is, just ignored us. "After lunch, you will meet together with your jonin. Until then, class dismissed." And with that said, everyone crowded outside like a bunch of rats. While I stayed behind and waited for my friends.

"Hey! As much as I love you guys... let's have lunch with our teams to get to know them. Come on. Just this once?" Emily pleaded. Having lunch with my team? Ugh. And judging by the face that Katie was also making, she was thinking the exact thing. "Please, please, please, please, pretty please with tables on top?!" she said making her puppy dog face.

Curses! She knew me too well to know that I prefer tables waaayyyy more that cherries. Although, tables are make of wood, and we get wood from trees. And I love trees. Hmmm. I have to get back on that one...

"Fine." me and Katie said at the same time. The puppy dog face always gets Katie. "Yay!" she said hugging us and running off.

"Well isn't she hasty to have lunch with Kiba..." I say making Katie nod her head in agreement.

"Well I'll see you at home!" Katie said walking off to catch of with her team. And then there was one...

I walk outside on this random path I found until I spotted 'Sasuke' hitting on Sakura. Seeing him walk closer to her, so did I. Until I came close enough to hear them. Sakura was blushing madly and I could just hear what she was thinking right now.

'Oh Sakura. Your forehead is so wide and charming. It makes me want to kiss it,' said Sasuke.

'Well there's lots of room up there,' Sakura said dreamily.

With that thought now stuck in my head, I was about to burst out laughing but slapped my hand on my mouth before a sound came out. I was shaking immensely, trying to suppress my laughter. Until 'Sasuke' started speaking again making me calm down for a second.

"Sakura, your forehead is so wide and charming. It makes me want to kiss it," he said.

That's it. I collapsed on the floor and bursted out laughing. Realizing what I just did, I gasped and jumped behind a tree before they could see me. Their heads snapped at where I was standing, but shrugged it off seeing that there is no one there.

"Just kidding. That's the kind of thing Naruto would say," 'Sasuke' said making Sakura's face fall. "I wanna ask you something," he continued. "Naruto, what do you think of him?"

"Naruto, he doesn't understand one single thing about me. He's just annoying. All I really want is for you to accept me Sasuke... I'd do anything for that." she said leaning closer and closer, making me stick my tongue out in disgust. Just as she was about to kiss 'Sasuke', his stomach growled causing him to grip it in pain and ditching Sakura.

Sakura's eyes snapped open. "Hey? What's wrong?" she called out. "I'll be right back," he called back. Watching the fake Sasuke run off, I took my time to slip out from behind the tree to see Sasuke walking out.

"Hey! I was wondering that we should all eat lunch together and get to know each other. You know, as a team!" I said trying to be nice.

"Hn. Another fangirl," he said walking past me.

I frown. "I was trying to be nice and this is what I get?! Did something crawl up your ass and die or something? I guess I should start being mean more often!" I yelled at his back. He stopped for a second but then continued walking. I huffed and turned away about to leave when something stopped me.

"Hn. Are you coming or what?" he said turning around and smirking. My eyes widen as I smiled, nodded and ran to catch up with him. Huh. I guess duck ass isn't half bad.

Later...

"He's late..." Naruto said impatiently.

"Naruto! Sit down and be patient!" Sakura scolded.

"I can't. I'm ready to roll. The other teams are already gone to meet their senseis. Even Iruka Sensei left!" he said as he took a chair and placed it under the door allowing him to climb on it and set an eraser trap for Kakashi.

"Naruto! What are you doing?!" Sakura asked.

"Oh you know, just catching elephants..." I said sarcastically. Sakura ignored me and continued scolding Naruto though her eyes clearly show amusement.

"This is what he gets for being late!" Naruto said.

"Hn. Our teacher's a jonin. Do you really think he would fall for that?" Sasuke asked.

"Oh life is full of surprises," I said.

At that very second, a hand came into view and pulled the door open, causing the eraser to free fall right onto Kakashi's head. Naruto and I bursted out laughing while Sakura apologized to Kakashi and Sasuke just stared at him with disbelief. The laughter died down as we all stared at Kakashi.

"Hm. How can I put this... My first impression of this group... I hate you all..." he said casually with his hands in his pockets causing everyone to sweat drop.

"Love you too!" I said.

"Let's all go to there roof. There, we will introduce ourselves," he said before disappearing in a poof of smoke. I cough and wave it out of my face. Ok, who's the genius who came up with that jutsu?!

We all met on the roof.

"Alright, let's introduce ourselves one at a time," Kakashi said.

"Introduce ourselves? Well what are we suppose to say?" Sakura asked dumbly.

"Things you like, things you hate, dreams for the future, hobbies, things like that," he replied.

"Give us an example so we can see how it works," Naruto said.

"Me? Well I'm Kakashi Hatake. Things I like... things I hate... I don't feel like telling you that... My dreams for the future... haven't really thought about it. As for my hobbies... I have lots of hobbies...Ok, your turn," he said making us all sweat drop.

"Well that was useless, all we really learned was his name..." Sakura mumbled. "...and that he's a lazy pervert," I agreed. Don't get me wrong, Kakashi is awesome!

"You on the right, you go first," Kakashi said pointing at Naruto.

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki! I like instant ramen in a cup, and I really like the ramen Iruka Sensei got me, Ichiraku's Noodle Shop! But I hate the three minutes I have to wait when I pour water into the ramen cup. My hobby is eating different kinds of ramen and comparing them! And my dream is... I wanna be the greatest Hokage! Then the whole village will stop disrespecting me and start treating me like I'm somebody, somebody important!" Naruto finished. Kakashi's eyes widen for a split second untill he went back to his bored expression probably thinking about how wrong he was thinking that Naruto was an idiot.

"Alright, next." he said pointing to Sakura.

"I'm Sakura Haruno. What I like... I mean the person I like is...*glances at Sasuke* Uh, my hobby is... *glances at Sasuke again and giggles* And my dreams for the future are...*glances at Sasuke for the third time and squeals*"

I face palm. "I'm surprised you didn't rape him yet."

She blushes.

...

I don't even want to know.

"And what do you hate?" Kakashi asked unfazed.

"Naruto and Evelyn!" she says making Naruto anime cry.

"Aw. And here I was thinking that we were practically like sisters!" I said sarcastically. She glares at me.

"Next."

"My name... is Sasuke Uchiha. I hate a lot of things, and I don't particularly like anything," he said making Sakura's face fall. "What I have is not a dream, because I will make it a reality. I'm going to restore my clan and kill a certain someone," he finished.

"Happiness and rainbows are just radiating out of you. You're just so filled with joy!" I said sarcastically.

"Ok last one." Kakashi said.

"Heeeeeyyyyyy! My name is Evelyn! And I love pandas, puppies, skittles, chocolate, cookies, candy, tables, etucah. I hate ignorant people, nosy biotches, sluts, fangirls, hint hint nudge nudge cough cough Sakura cough, mornings, arrogant people cough Sasuke cough, and perverts! My hobbies are listening to music, reading, TV, draw, laughing, and sleep. Sleep is an amazing invention! As for dreams of the future... when I grow up...I WANNA BE A TREE!" I said. Everyone sweat drops."Ok, ok, I lied, I actually wanna be recognised as one of the greatest and strongest ninjas in the world!" I said.

"Great you're each unique and you have your own ideas. We'll have our first mission tomorrow," Kakashi said.

"Yay! What kind of mission are we going to have?" Naruto asked.

"It's a task that all five of us will do," he answered.

"What? What? What? WHAT?!" Naruto asked excitedly.

"A survival exercise," he simply stated.

"But I thought we were suppose to have a real mission, not more practice. We already did this stuff in the academy. That's how we got here," Sakura said.

"This is no ordinary of the 27 graduates that came here, only 9 will actually be accepted as genin. The other 18 will be weeded out and sent back to the academy. In other words, this is a make it or break it, pass/fail test and the chance that you'll fail is at least 66%," Kakashi said with his eyes narrowing. Everyone gasped.

"That's crazy! We worked hard to get here, believe it! What was that graduating test for anyway?!" Naruto said.

"Oh that?! That was just a test to see who might become genin...or not."

"What?!" Naruto complained.

"That's how it is. I decide whether you pass or fail. Be at the designated area at 5am. Bring your ninja gear. And oh! Don't eat breakfast, or you'll puke," he said poofing away.

"Bye Kakashi! Duckbutt! Naruto! And you..." I said the last part disappointed, referring to Sakura.

With that, I ran as fast as I can back to my apartment. I could always walk back with Sasuke cause he's my neighbor and everything...but why the hell should I do that?! Plus it was getting ready for sunset...

Chapter 9, DONE! Hope you enjoyed. :p
